User blog:IonicZach/Yet Another Dullahan WDYD? Response

Your wife left to explore a dungeon over a month ago, and you decide to go and find out what happened to her. Upon locating the dungeon you're surprised to find a dullahan sans head stumbling around the entrance of the dungeon. It's not difficult to get past it (after all, the body can't see or hear without its head), but you notice that it's body greatly resembles the body of your wife - in specific, the birth mark around her cleavage. You go farther into the dungeon, and eventually you find your wife's head all the way in the treasure room, lying down facing the wall and grumbling to herself.

"I just want to go home . . . I can't even hear my body anymore . . . he's got to be worried sick about me . . ."

What Do You Do?

"Honey?"

"Zach-Attack?"

I blush, and cringe, at the pet name. "That's my wife alright." I say to myself.

I walk over and gently pick her up and turn her to where she's facing me.

"What happened to you?"

She looks down and blushes "I found some really cool armor and I couldn't wait to try it on and well, it fit perfectly except it was a little loose around the neck, and I kinda lost my head or body in this case."

"And let me guess, it was cursed?" She nods as well as a disembodied head can. I sigh "Why didn't you wait and bring it to the town wizard so he could've checked for curses?" All she can do is look away in shame.

Her look of shame changes into one of surprise when she notices I'm hugging her. "Don't you hate me, I mean, I'm a monster now?"

I laugh at her assumption a little "Heh. No, you're my wife and I promised to love you through thick and thin, for better or for worse. Besides you haven't changed that much, you're still the beautiful, kind, loving woman I fell in love with, there's just some assembly required now, is all."

"Oh~ You~" she giggles and blushes, then her eyes bolt open "Wait! Where's my body?"

I pet the top of her head "Don't worry I saw her by the entrance, and I don't think she'd get to far without her head. Now let's find her and go home, and look on the bright side, this whole situation has given me a few new ideas for tonight."

We both laugh as we leave the dungeon, we find her body still looking around for her head, I plop her head back on her body and go home to try out those ideas I'd mentioned.
