317 Centerless
About heterogeneous magical beings, please readhttp://taoyundao.blogspot.tw/2015/11/301-heterogeneous-magical-beings-in.html
I am a nameless wizard, unknown but capable. I live in Penglai (https://taoyundao.blogspot.tw/2014/05/the-wonderful-island-where-tales-began.html), tha capital of Taoyundao. Despite Penglai is a large city, I often feel lone.
Being a wizard, I can do many things which other people can't; however, none of them can provide me with fun. I do have a heart in my central body, but it's too lazy to work. Yes, I am almost emotionless, though I don't want myself to be. I really need emotions, even sadness, even wrath, I need them. But I have become too mighty and lived too long, so right now nothing can be meaningful to me because my heart has never be stimulated by anything. I am just a living machine, and I think I will forever be so.
It's a cold and rainy night, I see a pair of bare disembodied legs lying down in a dark alley. I walk to them and pick them up, then I hear a voice. "Mister, don't bring them away," someone is murmuring slighting, "they are my parts."
I turn to the voice and find a head. "Well, where are your other body parts?" I ask. "Other body parts? No, all of my parts are here."
I get it. She is an unusual surreal being whom was composed of legs and a head from the origin. She doesn't have the "central body" that each of us has.
I think that she can't survive alone, so I bring all of her home. She tells me her name is Lika, ;besides that, she doesn't remember anything. Then I concentrate myself on her parts for realizing the structure of her existence. Later, she says: "Mister, I think in common sense, it's not good to stare a lady's naked body."
"Well, you're right. But how can you to be considered as naked? You don't have the body part which can make you to be a naked lady."
"I don't think so. All of me haven't been cover with a piece of any clothes, so I am naked, and you are the one who is staring a naked lady."
Okay, okay, it will be better for me to provide her some "clothes", despite normally clothes are worn by human torsos, not disembodied legs and heads. First, I buy her shoes.
"Thank you, but I am still naked just with shoes. At least, I think my thighs and neck shall be covered. I don't have the central body which is similar to yours, and neck and thighs shall be my central body such that they shall wear clothes."
Huh, interesting. That's fine. Again, I buy two caps for covering her thighs and a muffler for her neck.
"Thank you again, I feel so warm. Mister, you are really a good person."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We start to live together. Without the central body, Like even can't walk independently. It's very hard for her to move herself over even merely a short distance. What a pitiful centerless little being! Since I an a wizard, I decide to help her on my own. She doesn't has the central body, and I have one. How about "lend" mine to her?
I separate my head and legs out from my central body, then my head directs my hands to enchant Lika's parts to "register" them into my central body. That is, Lika's parts become additional and optional head or legs to my central body. In such way, Lika's parts can borrow magical power from my central body, direct my hands to cast magical spells and served by my internal organs. Even they aren't actually attached to my central body (my parts are here), they are still connected to it. And Lika still will keep herself as one girl as long as I don't invade her ego through my... oh, our central body. Of course, I won't.
A miracle happens. By serving Lika, my heart revives! It is first time for Lika to feel emotions, and so do I since many years ago. Happiness, yes, we share our happiness together.
It's the new birthday for Like and I. Both of us will not become centerless anymore.
Interesting story concept :D
