Alright, sorry for the delay folks, but now it's time for a new arc! This is one I've been building up to for some time now, and I'm glad to finally start working on it. This is going to be a bit of a long arc, but have patience!
Standing motionless was a beautiful woman, clad in silk dancer's clothes.
A soft melody started to play, gentle and sweet, it flowed around the women, who took a deep breath, and started a passionate dance, shaking her hips left and right, rising a leg up and doing a twirl, moving with the flow of the music.
She was so carried away by the music she was startled upon seeing a dark figure standing before her, materializing as a tall and handsome man. She smiled, and twirled towards him, who caught her by her hands, and the two danced together. Their motions were in sync, and moved with the gentle melody. Soon the dancer woman leaned her head against the man's bare chest and sighed contently.
The man gave the gentlest of smiles and held her closely, taking her by her chin and kissing her on the lips. The woman moaned into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck, her hands brushing against his blonde hair, while he brought his arms around her slender waist, holding her against him. It was pure bliss between the two.
She turned around and leaned against his chest, sighing contently as she felt a warm sensation within her, as her once flat and trim stomach started to swell out perfectly round in front of her, her hands trailed up and rubbed her pregnant belly ravenously. The two of them were now completely nude in that moment, and the tall man's hands trailed up and started rubbing her belly as well, feeling kicks from within her fertile womb.
She looked up to her man, and the two once again shared another kiss...
Nemisa's eyes snapped open and she quickly sat up from bed, gasping and panting, and drenched in sweat. She looked around to see herself in her room, and let out a sigh, falling backwards on her bed.
"A dream..." Nemisa muttered, she looked down at her hand, the one with the red scar on her wrist, and saw she had been holding and squeezing her green jewel. She gazed down at it longingly.
She then looked over at the plush doll she had been laying beside, the yellow and green Deku Scrub plush, the one Link gave her a month ago at the festival, and her thoughts wandered to her future king, "The man in my dream... was that... him...?"
She then realized a wet sensation, and looked down to see her other hand had been in a rather... inappropriate place.
"G-goddess..." Nemisa gasped out, "Did I do that in my sleep...?! I've never done that before..." she groaned out and covered her face with the Deku plush out of embarrassment.
She peeked out from behind the plush doll and took another look at the jewel, she clenched it one last time, deeply in thought, before she placed it back on her table, and then brought her hand with the scarred wrist to her heart.
"I can't stop running away..." Nemisa whispered, "I need to end this... so I can finally..."
She took a deep breath, then hugged her Deku plush doll and laid back. Her last thoughts before she went back to sleep were of her blond-haired king-to-be.
...and it wasn't long before her hand subconsciously went back down to her wet spot...
That morning, Link woke up from his bed of pillows and stretched, feeling quite well-rested. He felt a pleasant warmth on one side and a soothing cool sensation on the other. He looked down to see Kesuta to his left and Korume to his right, sleeping soundly, and all three of them were in the nude.
He smiled softly, putting his hands on their heads, causing them both to sigh and snuggle against him. He was tempted to get up and start his day, but just being between the mystic twins was too tempting to move away from. He laid back down between the two and wrapped his arms around them, and they snuggled closer. Korume's hand moved up to his chest and rubbed it softly while Kesuta nuzzled his arm.
This wasn't the first time Kesuta and Korume slept with him, in fact it seemed after the first time they had together, they couldn't keep their hands off him, aside from those times when Nabooru would shoo the two out so she could sleep with him instead. Despite his experience, he had been unsure about if he could satisfy the two of them at once, but it seemed he handled it quite well.
Just last night though, the twins had a special surprise for him, as they fused together into their new form, the Gerudo sorceress Dualsera, and took charge of the night. While it wasn't the first time a woman took the lead with him, Dualsera was such a large woman that it still felt like a new experience. The way they went at him in their fused form was just amazing, and he was captivated by her luscious curves and beautiful face.
"Good morning, our dear husband... we hope you enjoyed last night..." Korume then whispered, now awake, as her cold breath blew against his neck.
There was a yawn, and Kesuta woke, hugging Link tightly, "Good morning as well, I'm getting used to waking up to this sight..." she rhymed.
"Morning girls." Link smiled, giving them both a kiss to the lips, "That was pretty amazing."
"Glad you liked it." snickered Kesuta, "I can't blame you for it, seeing as how gorgeous the two of us look fused together!"
"We enjoyed ourselves too... Lady Nabooru has taught you well..." Korume said, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and kissing at his neck, "I feel so free now, thanks to you..."
"Hey, quit hogging him, sis." Kesuta said, nibbling on Link's ear.
With that, it wasn't long before the three of them went right back to their activities from last night...
Link stretched out his back, walking down the hallway to the dining room for breakfast. Kesuta and Korume were resting from their wild morning, and told Link they'd catch up to him to join them for the food. He had taken to forgo wearing his vest, due to it being a particularly warm morning. It was then he turned a corner and suddenly bumped into someone.
"Oops, sorry ther-" he then saw who it was.
It was Nemisa, who had stumbled forward and had fallen against his chest.
"Ack, N-Nemisa?!" Link exclaimed.
She paused, her body was leaning against his bare chest. The Gerudo woman didn't say a word, and the two were completely motionless. Eventually she backed up from Link, and straightened herself up.
"S-Sorry Nemisa." Link said, standing his guard, prepared for her short-tempered assault.
Instead, his bodyguard took a deep breath, "It's... okay your highness, it was my fault." and with that she walked past him and down the hallway.
Link stared baffled as she walked off, paused, took a glance between her back to see him, before continuing off on her way.
He was genuinely confused in that moment, that was a prime moment for her to clobber him, but she didn't. While he was relieved to not get beaten up, he still felt a bit weirdly concerned for Nemisa because of it.
"Hey Link, ready to eat?" Kesuta asked, strolling up to him alongside Korume, "I'm starved and need to quench my thirst!"
"I'm ready when you are, though I'm claiming the meat dish first." chuckled Korume.
"Yer not putting hot sauce on it!" shouted Kesuta to her twin, then turned to her fiance, "So you ready Link?"
"Oh, yeah, sure..." Link said.
"Was that Nemisa I heard earlier?" Korume asked, looking to her walking off, "Is she okay?"
"I'm... not sure... I think I'll try talking to her later..." Link said, "Come on, for now let's go eat." and with that, the three continued off to the dining room.
Meanwhile, Nemisa continued down the hall to a certain room that was normally left vacant. She took a look around for anyone passing by before entering. Inside stood a Gerudo clad in dark purple, who knelt down and bowed to Nemisa.
"Pleased to see you again." Nemisa said, "You said you had something to report?"
"Yes Sister Nemisa." the Gerudo said, "I've found the one you've been looking for, they're right where my earlier reports said, and they'll be there at least overnight."
"Finally." Nemisa said, taking the map the Gerudo had made, "Thank you so much for your hard work. Was our contact able to make preparations as well?"
"Yes, they're quite impressed, and are eager to see you." the spy confirmed.
"Then I should start getting ready for tonight..." Nemisa said, she gripped her wrist and closed her eyes.
'Finally,' she thought to herself, 'Tonight, I put this to an end...'
The spy meanwhile, watched Nemisa carefully, with a sense of unease about her...
"I have good news for today!" Nabooru said, while she, Link, Aviel, Kesuta and Korume were all eating breakfast around the dining table, "My spies are due to present us with information soon on the location of the Wyvern Keeper's hideout!"
"The Vern who?" Aviel asked tilting her head.
"The Wyvern Keepers, that slaver group we fought back in the canyon." Link reminded her.
"Ah yeah, those guys were jerks." she said with a grumpy face, "I can't believe they tried to kidnap our sisters like that..."
"We have reason to believe that they have a number of our sisters held up in a certain place with a secret underground hideout they call the Wyvern's Nest, and tonight that place is supposed to be hosting a black market trade as well." Nabooru said.
"Black market?" Aviel asked, "Is that something where they only sell black clothes?"
"No Birdbrain," Korume muttered, "It's a place where they sell illegal and or illegally-obtained merchandise."
"Ooh... then why are the Wyvern Keepers hosting something like that?" she then asked.
"From what I hear, they tend to sell some of their... I hesitate to say, 'best slaves' through the black market auction..." Nabooru paused for a second, looking downcast, "...and that includes some of our sisters."
"I see..." Link muttered, then sported a small grin to Nabooru, "So am I to assume we're in for a rescue mission then?"
"That's right." Nabooru rose her head up and grinned back, "I apologize for bringing this up on such short notice, but I was only just informed on this myself." she slammed her fist into her palm, "But we can't afford to wait, our goal tonight will be to raid the Wyvern's Nest and save our sisters!"
"Alright, a good old fashioned raid!" Kesuta cheered out, her hands igniting with fire, "I'm going to make those slaver bastards burn!"
"Fufufu... I'll slowly slide an ice shard right into their pinky fingernail..." Korume muttered to herself with a dark giggle, making the faces of the others pale.
"Um... so where's Nemisa?" Link asked, looking left and right, "Isn't she coming to breakfast?"
"She told me that she was feeling sick, so she'll be resting in her room." Aviel said.
'Maybe that's what was wrong with her earlier...?' Link thought to himself.
"Well I hope she gets better before the raid tonight, we could really use her help." Nabooru sighed, "But regardless, as soon as my spies give me the report, I'm going to start working on a plan for the raid tonight."
"You believe we can handle this with such little notice?" Korume asked.
"Of course, our solders are stronger now then ever." grinned Nabooru, "Reirousa has been helping them with her training experience from her time in the war, so we'll have plenty of assistance."
"Huh, I'm surprised to hear Reirousa taking the initiative like that." Aviel said.
"She's gotten a lot stronger herself, in more ways then just muscle." Link smiled.
"For now though, you guys all rest up until I'm ready to explain our plan." Nabooru said.
"Alright, think I'm going to go check on Nemisa." Link nodded, standing up and walking off.
"...he really cares for her, doesn't he?" Korume said, when Link was out of earshot of everyone.
"Yep, Nemisa lashes out at him a lot, but he takes it in stride. I think he understands her more then anyone around here these days." Aviel smiled.
"So is she a marriage candidate for him, then?" asked Kesuta with a grin.
"Link's too modest to admit it outright, but I'd say so..." Nabooru chuckled, taking a sip of water, "If anything though, I think Nemisa is the one who needs to be honest with herself..."
"Nemisa?" Link called out from outside Nemisa's room, he gave the door a soft knock with one hand, while holding a small plate with a tea kettle and two cups on it with the other hand, "It's me Link, can I come in?"
"...Your highness?" Nemisa asked from the other side of the door, "Y-Yes, just a second!"
After a minute he heard her call out "Okay, please enter!"
Link opened the door to see Nemisa in her bed, curled up in silk sheets and with a hot water bottle on her head. He couldn't help but notice she had some of her favorite plushies scattered around her, the deku one he got her during the festival being among them, and drew an amused grin.
"I'm sorry, your highness..." she muttered, "But I'm not feeling quite well today..."
"It's alright, just take it easy for now." Link said, putting the tray on the table beside her bed, "Here, I brought you some tea."
Nemisa was a little caught off guard by this, but smiled pleasantly and took a cup from him, sipping it.
"T-Thank you, your highness." she said, "It's good."
Link couldn't help but enjoy seeing her smile like that, "Did... you need anything else?" he then asked.
"N-No..." Nemisa said, "I should be fine for the day... was there something you wanted?"
Link paused, remembering what Nabooru said about wanting Nemisa's help for the raid. He shook his head, "Nah, it's nothing. Just work on getting better, okay?" Link said.
"...very well, your highness." nodded Nemisa.
Link nodded back, getting up and leaving out the bedroom door. As soon as Link shut the door closed, Nemisa let out a sigh.
"Well, I better get going..."
With that she climbed out of bed to get herself ready for her mission. She went into her trunk and started gathering her equipment, including her steel bands, a small bottle of gray colored capsules of some kind, and her red dancer's garb from when she took on her alter ego, Madame Scarlet.
She paused, and took a glance over at the tea kettle and cups, and her thoughts turned to the gentle smile Link gave her.
"He's... a sweet person..." Nemisa whispered to herself, "I have to do this, so I can finally... finally..."
She blushed lightly, before shaking off her trance. She reached into her pocket and squeezed the small green jewel once again. She took a deep breath and nodded to herself.
"This ends tonight."
Taking her things, she headed towards the window of her bedroom and started to climb out of it, until...
"Hey Nemisa, I forgot to-" Link said, opening the door and stepping in...
...only to see Nemisa staring at him as she was about to climb out of the window.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" Link shouted, rushing right up to Nemisa, lifting her up and holding her around the waist.
"H-Hey! Let go of me you moron!" shouted Nemisa, who immediately started pummeling him in an effort to break free. Despite her aggression, Link wasn't even reacting to her punches.
"You're sick, you can't go jumping out of three story windows in your condition!" Link scolded her.
"You know it's really weird when you phrase it like that..." Nemisa said sweatdropping.
He sat her back down on the bed and looked at her intently, she scowled and looked away from him, a huge contract from how she was a few moments ago He saw the defiant look in her eyes and he quickly caught on,
"...Nemisa, you're not really sick, are you?" He even took the hot water bottle, and sure enough it turned out the water was lukewarm.
"So you figured it out?" sighed Nemisa.
"What's going on then?" Link asked.
Nemisa just paused, she clenched at her wrist, which didn't no unnoticed by Link, then she looked to him.
"...very well..." she said, getting up and going over to the tea kettle and cups he had prepared, "I'll tell you, but let's discuss it over some tea"
"Alright" Link nodded.
As Nemisa poured them both cups of tea from the kettle, she reached into her pocket and pulled out the bottle of gray capsules, taking one and dropping it into one of the cups, watching as the capsule dissolved into the tea. She then walked over to Link and handed him the cup.
"Thanks." Link said, taking the cup and sipping it, "So what's this whole thing about?"
"Today..." she paused, looking at him closely, "...is the day I finally put an end to something that's haunted me for years." she said, drinking her own tea, "And when it's over, there's something I need to tell you..."
"...oh...?" Link asked, not realizing his eyelids were starting to get heavy, "You don't need help for this...?"
"It'll be fine." nodded Nemisa, "I can't let you get involved in this... that's why I had to..." she trailed off, watching as Link started to get woozy.
"Ugh... what's going on...?" Link asked.
It then he saw Nemisa lean close to him, and through his dizzy trance he saw her golden eyes passionately stare right into his own.
"...this is something I must do myself."
And with that, she closed her eyes, brought her head forward, and kissed him on the lips.
Link, despite how dozy he felt in that moment, was in shock of Nemisa's forwardness. She leaned him down on the bed, continuing to kiss him, her hands trialing up and rubbing at his bare chest. It was a bizarre situation, but he couldn't help but admit even in that moment he was enjoying it. His hands slowly trailed up, one held her by the waist, while the other ran across her silky thigh.
Soon enough, Nemisa broke the kiss and lightly gasped for air, staring down at him as his eyes grew heavier.
"Wish me luck, my beloved king..." she whispered, as Link started to fall unconscious.
"Link? Link? Wake up already!" shouted a voice, as Link found himself waking up.
"Ugh... what happened...?" Link muttered, only to see Aviel sitting on his chest.
"Hey, he's awake!" Aviel chirped happily.
Link shoved Aviel off his body and he got up. He realized he was now in his bedroom, laying back on his bed of pillows. He looked around to see that not just Aviel was there, but also Nabooru, Togau, Dr. Sarami, Reirousa, Kesuta and Korume.
"What's going on here...?" Link asked, "What's everyone doing here?"
"Well we were all just about to fool around with you before you woke up." snickered Kesuta.
"Uh, we were...?" Reirousa muttered, turning red and rubbing the back of her head.
"She's jokin' Reirousa." Togau said rolling her eyes. She took a look over to the twins who had been in the middle of stripping,"Wait, they weren't joking?!"
"Now's not the time for that." Nabooru snapped to the twins, then turned to Link, "I rounded up everyone here to prepare for the raid on the Wyvern's Nest tonight, and we found you out cold here in your room. I knew I said get some rest but you were practically in a coma!"
"Ugh, I don't know what happened..." Link said, "I went to go check on Nemisa... I drank some tea... and..." he suddenly snapped out of it, "Aah! Nemisa was trying to escape from me!"
"Escape?" Togau asked, "So the two of you were gonna bonk and she chickened out or somethin'?" she added with a snicker.
"Not like that!" Link exclaimed, then explained to everyone what had happened.
"...and then you feel asleep right after that... how bizarre..." Nabooru pondered.
"Nemisa really kissed you?!" exclaimed Aviel butting in, "How was it?"
"Um... " Link trailed off, seeing most of the girls staring at him intently for a response, "It's hard to say exactly because I was falling asleep at the time, but from what I remember it was... really amazing..."
"So... she kissed you so good that you fainted from it?" Reirousa asked, "Is that even a thing?"
"I somehow doubt that." Nabooru said sweatdropping.
"I'm not sure why I fainted..." Link said. He thought a little more about that, "Though the tea did taste a little odd in that moment..."
"...oh dear... I think this all might be my fault..." realized Sarami, putting a hand to her cheek, "Nemisa must have laced your tea with those gray chu jelly capsules I prepared for her..."
"Gray chu? What do they do?" Kesuta asked.
"They're a sleeping agent, I developed them to help people with insomnia, and Nemisa asked me for some the other day, saying she was sick and having trouble resting." Sarami explained.
"Wonder what she's really planning to use them for...?" Togau pondered, "If she was planning to leave before Link showed up, she must have gotten those for another reason..."
"I don't know, but I'm worried about her..." Link said, "She seemed really nervous..."
"Ugh, honestly that woman..." Nabooru said, "I want to track her down, but we have our mission tonight. We'll just have to hope for her safety."
"Um... hello...?" piped up a new voice. Everyone turned to see a Gerudo clad in purple clothes and veil.
"Who are you?" Link asked.
"I'm... a spy for Sister Nemisa. She had me gather information for a mission she was going on... She told me not to tell any of you what she was doing, but... I'm concerned for her, and after just overhearing what you guys were talking about... I think I need to tell you after all..." she explained herself.
"Well, what's Nemisa up to then?" Nabooru asked with her arms folded.
"I'm not entirely sure what she's planning, but she asked me to track down a certain man..." she said.
"A... man?" Kesuta asked, "Nemisa the man-hater asked for that?"
"Like I said, I'm not sure why, but she was insistent I track him down and report his location to her." the spy said, "I went through some contacts, and eventually found out he was going to a tavern far out in the south." the spy nodded.
"Wonder who it is for Nemisa to want to go after him..." Togau pondered.
"T-This tavern..." Nabooru muttered nervously, "It wouldn't happen to be called 'The Dank Salamander', is it...?"
"What?! Yes!" exclaimed the spy, "How did you know that?!"
"Oh dear..." Nabooru said, in a cold sweat.
"Nabooru, you got that look in your eyes, what's wrong?" Link asked with a sense of unease.
Nabooru just took a deep breath and spoke.
"...The Dank Salamander... is a front for the slavers' hideout, the Wyvern's Nest..."
Everyone paused for a few seconds, but letting out a collective shout.
"WHAAAT?!"
"Nemisa's going to the Wyvern's Nest?!" exclaimed Link.
"Did you know about this?!" Togau shouted in anger, grabbing the spy by her top.
"N-No!" exclaimed the spy frantically, "I only followed him to The Dank Salamander, I had no idea about the slaver base being there!"
"Do you think Nemisa knows about this?!" exclaimed Kesuta.
"I don't know..." Nabooru said, "I haven't even been able to discuss our raid plan with her yet..."
"Nemisa, damnit..." Link said, "We have to save her!"
"But what about the raid plan?" Sarami asked worriedly, "We haven't had time to complete it..."
"We don't have time!" Link said, "Every moment we wait, we're putting Nemisa's life at risk!"
"Right!" Reirousa shouted pumping her fist, "We gotta bum rush in there and help her! We ain't turnin' our backs on our sister!"
"Yes, her life is precious." Korume nodded, "So we shall bring her back home, as well as our captive sisters at the Nest!"
"...very well." Nabooru nodded, "I suppose we'll have to use our secret weapon after all."
"Secret weapon?" Link asked.
"You come with me Link. As for the rest of you, alert our sisters, that today we're going to strike down the Wyvern Keepers, and save our people, as well as Nemisa!"
Everyone collectively cheered out and ran off to prepare for the raid, while Link followed Nabooru to a certain place in Gerudo Town familiar to him from the past...
"Hey, isn't this the prison?" Link asked, as he and Nabooru had gone to the far back of town, to where a lone building with bars over the doors and windows were. "This is where I was put in back when I arrived here."
"Yeah, we rarely ever use this jail, occasionally we'd put Kesuta or Korume in here when their pranks go too far, but lately it's been used to house a certain person we captured a while back." Nabooru explained.
The two of them came up to a tall buff Gerudo woman holding a halberd, who was watching over the prison.
"Lady Nabooru? What brings you here?" the guard asked.
"Sister Usaulu, we need to see the prisoner." Nabooru said.
"Of course." nodded Usaulu, going over to the door and opening it, "Oh sweetiiiee, our leaders are here to see yooou!" she said in an oddly light voice.
"O-Oh... okay..." said a small timid voice, a huge contrast to what Link expected.
Walking out from the prison was a young looking man, in fact so young looking he almost resembled a kid. Shorter then Link, with brown hair and freckles. He was clad in an old vest and pants, and had handcuffs over his wrists.
"Y-You're the Gerudo King...?" the young one asked, looking up at Link, "I heard you were Hylian, but I thought it was just a rumor..."
"Um, kind of..." Link said awkwardly, "Who are you exactly?"
"M-My name is Remo, I'm 16 years old..." he answered, keeping his head lowered out of intimidation of Link and Nabooru standing before him..
"Nabooru, what's a kid like this doing here?" Link asked.
"Well, it's because he's a member of the Wyvern Keepers." Nabooru said, "We captured him a month ago."
"Wait, what?!" exclaimed Link, "This kid is a slaver?"
"Yes, and he's going to be our secret weapon for getting into the Wyvern's Nest." Nabooru nodded. She then spoke to Remo, "Do you remember our agreement?"
"Yeah." nodded Remo, "In exchange for my freedom, I'll help you all save the captives and escape. I haven't been to the Wyvern's Nest before myself, but they should still allow me inside so I can help you."
"I'm surprised you're so willing to help." Link said, admittingly a little suspicious of him, "What made you want to join a slaver group like the Wyvern Keepers to begin with?"
"Well, to be honest, I grew up without parents... I was a street urchin having to steal to eat... then one day I accidentally stole from a Wyvern Keeper member. He was going to take me and sell me into slavery, but I convinced him to instead let me work for them... I've spent the past two years working under them up until I got captured..." Remo explained, "I'm not very strong or technically skilled... so I just did as they asked of me... I feel bad for what I've done to those people, but I didn't have much choice..."
"So what brought about this change of heart then?" Link asked.
"Well..." Remo trailed off, only for the guard Usaulu to put her bulky arm around his shoulders and hold him close to her, she smiled warmly as he replied with a light blush, "Me and Usaulu are kinda..."
"Wait, seriously?" Link asked with wide eyes.
"After I was put in charge of guarding my little Remo, one night I was frustrated and horny, so I took it out on him, and we both took a liking to it." she grinned.
"We spend our days talking, and she um... has her way with me at night... Of course, I'm not complaining or anything..." Remo said sheepishly, "We've fallen in love with each other, as simple as that, and I'd like the opportunity to be with her."
"I-I see..." Link said sweatdropping.
"Love works in mysterious ways." Nabooru commented with a grin, "You should be an expert on that at this point, Link."
"Ah heh heh." Link chuckled.
"So is what I've heard from Sister Aviel true?" Usaulu asked, "The King's fiance Nemisa is on her way to the Wyvern's Nest?"
"Well, they're not engaged yet, but yes." Nabooru said, "We need Remo's help to get us in there for my new plan to work."
"...so she's your fiance...?" Remo asked Link, "That's... really neat. Someday when I earn my freedom, I want to be able to marry Usaula..."
Usaula grinned broadly and hugged Remo, who nodded to himself and looked up at Link with determination in his eyes, "Okay then, I've made up my mind, I'll do what I need to in order to help you get her back!"
"Heh, you're a lot more then you think you are kid." grinned Link, "Thank you."
"Very well then, now let's go!" Nabooru said.
Meanwhile, to the south in Gerudo Valley, a modest three story wooden building stood atop a dirt hill. A tavern known as The Dank Salamander. It was a common place for travelers and bandits to go to, and even had inn accommodations, though it's lodging had odd dark periods, and occasionally closed at late night for unknown reasons...
Walking up to the tavern was a Gerudo woman, draped in silk red dancer's garbs. It was Nemisa, usually known as Gerudo King Link's bodyguard, but in this case was now in her alter ego appearance of the red goddess of the dance, Madame Scarlet. She stared up at the tavern and the sign advertising it's name. She took a deep breath and clenched her wrist.
"It's finally time... to put an end to this." she whispered.
Nemisa went up to the door where a bouncer guard stood. The way he stood resembled that of a brick wall, not even moving an inch. As soon as she approached however the bouncer immediately glared down at Nemisa.
"Halt, we're closed today for travelers." the guard said, "Who are you?"
"I am the illustrious Madame Scarlet." she said with a dignified voice, and gave a polite bow, "And I believe I'm on the list. Here's my identification." she added, holding up a green handkerchief.
"Hmm..." the bouncer muttered, consulting a paper he had on him, "Ah yeah, that's the item they mentioned you needed to show me. So you're the entertainment tonight. First I have to check you for weapons."
The bouncer checked her over, not seeing anything like knives or anything that could be used as a weapon. It was then though that he saw the bottle of gray chu capsules.
"What are these?" the bouncer asked.
"Oh, that's my medicine." Nemisa said, "It's to help with anxiety."
Thankfully, the guard seemed to fall for it, and nodded.
"...alright then, come on in."
Nemisa thanked the guard and strolled into the tavern, the place was quite full, but rather then the ragtag bandits and travelers a place like this would have, today it was filled with older and more eccentric people, aristocrats and noblemen. Many of them had guards with them as well as trophy wives.
'Hm... this seems rather odd for a desert tavern in the middle of nowhere to draw in this kind of people...' Nemisa thought to herself, 'Just what's going on here...?'
"Ah, you must be Madame Scarlet, correct?" asked a man coming up to her, "Welcome to the Dank Salamander." he took a second to look her up and down, "Our associate was right, you're quite a beautiful and graceful lady." he said.
"Haha, thank you so much." Nemisa chuckled, "I hope the patrons are ready for a show tonight, because I intend to shock them all."
"Very well, we have a dressing room set up for you in the back, come with me." he said, escorting her off to the back of the tavern.
The man lead Nemisa to a dressing room in the back of the tavern, it wasn't much, especially compared to the one at her theater at Gerudo Town, but it would do. After the man left she rested down against a chair and sighed. She reached into her pocket and gripped her green jewel, and her thoughts drifted, thinking back to a certain event that changed her life and her way of thinking...
Three years ago...
And that ends this part 1 of Nemisa's arc, in the next part we'll finally explore into her dark past...
