The Woman in the Odd House
by: Unknown
So Grungor went off to find the missing centaurs. He looked high and low and couldn't find them anywhere. "Where in tarnation are those centaurs. They usually be at the ol' tradin' post. Whelp not much to do but ask whoever lives in that house." Grungor approaches the house. An odd feeling of suspicion overcomes him. He swore that the house wasn't there the last time. Grungor knocked on the door. After waiting for a minute a tall and almost doll-like woman appeared.
"Hello! How may I help you?" the woman said with an overly large smile etched on her face.
"Have ya seen two centaurs? Ya can't miss the fellas. They're a cross tween a human and a horse."
"You must be their friend. I invited them over. I recently moved here I just wanted to meet the neighbors."
"Well my companion and I have some darn problems. We had a run in with a witch who placed a curse lil companion. Now she's bigger than before.
The woman's unchanging eyes begin to tear up, but it was jelly that ran down her. Grungor was oblivious to the woman's strange tears as he noticed five centaurs eating trays of sweets.
"What be this? It looked like they had to eat nuffin but lard to get that fat! Who are ya and what did ya do to them!" Grungor yelled as the woman wiped the jelly off her face.
"I guess I'm a good cook. I have been told by my client that I'm a deadly chef. But you'll forget for you must be starving." The woman said as she kept smiling and her eyes filling with jelly.
"What are you? No person I met ever cried jelly before!"
Grungor raised his rifle and fired it at the woman. The woman's body cracks and starts spewing red jelly. The centaurs were oblivious and only focused on their trays of delicious desserts. Grungor looked at the jelly and the woman that it was coming from. A closer inspection reveals that the woman was no more than a mere doll, acting as a host for the ooze that dwelled within her porcelain body. Grungor dropped his guard when he saw that the plates were made of gold and silver. The jelly slipped away and found a replacement body. The ooze takes over the new doll and readjusts her head.
"We have to leave. It's not safe here!"
The centaurs ignore Grungor and continue eating. Grungor's greed and hunger took hold of his thoughts. He might as well take the plates and all and get a bite to eat. As he bit into the cookie a huge hunger pain hit the dwarf. Grunor then begins chowing down. The strange woman smiles as she brings out more plates.
"You can't resist my food for the master has provided me with several bodies stupid dwarf. Maybe later you can tell more about your companion."
