Yubi's Links
"Ah Yubi… It’s interesting how far we’ve come since his beginning.
While walking among human kind I heard rumors of an old witch doctor that lived deep in the woodlands. He supposedly created horrific abominations and dabbled in a type of magic to resurrect the dead. Apparently people in the past had traveled to this doctor in an attempt to bring back dead loved ones—though supposedly it did not go as they had planned. My curiosity had been piqued—after all humans had supposedly ‘rescued’ me from the grasps of a witch. Ha!
I traveled to this doctors supposed location; to where I found a rather decrepit looking cottage and what appeared to be some sort of barn. I was unfamiliar with other outcasts such as myself and likely landed on the property with less regard than I should have. I did not fall into any sort of traps however, and the man seemed to sense my presence as he greeted me first.
He was an ugly little creature, hunched and gnarled with age and what I assume was wear from his work. He seemed both frightened and fascinated by me, to which I would use to my advantage. When he asked what I was doing here, I told him I was interested in his work, which excited the strange man. He began to blabber on about his past works and brought me into his house, taking me down an underground room which he used as a workshop. Inside was lined with cages and ugly, twisted creatures, though I didn’t find them especially impressive.

He’s too gentle to be in a world like this—or to be with someone like me. But it’s far too late for that kind of talk now. The damage has already been done, none of which can be forgiven or taken back. I’ve made it to where I am the only one he can turn too; it’s been engrained into every fiber of his being. I HATE that I care for him, but I… I don’t. He’s the only thing in this world that’s made me feel anything beyond anger—he can make all the noise in my head go mute, to where I don’t constantly think of violent thoughts or remnants of the past… The things that have driven me mad my entire life. The new feeling used to scare me; I used to hurt him or leave him in isolation as I tried to distance myself from it, from him. It still frightens me in fact—that now I have something to lose, something that I never deserved in the first place.
Through everything Yubi remained loyal, gentle and soft—somehow he lacked the anger that I always had—despite the fact a vicious beast lay dormant within him, a beast only I could summon. For some reason he wanted to remain by my side even after everything I’ve put him through. It’s my fault, I’ve made him think that way.
