Aftermath of Obsessions -K-
Slowly adjusting, my eyes open all the way the view is filled by three dark green curtains draping over the sides of where I'm laying down. Taking in the surroundings, I find that I'm in a large white-walled room with several pieces of furniture with consistent shades of green, yellow, purple and white.
Looking at the bed I'm in, it's a large, possibly king-sized, bed with a white blanket embedded with several yellow and green designs. The main designs consist of a large yellow tree with green leaves along the branches that spread out endlessly.
'Ah, right. Where the hell am I? I was just looking at the gems that Inyene showed me. Then... nothing? What happened?'
Rubbing my temples, I look around for any clues and my gaze lands on a clock or rather, the time it shows.
--06:42--
'It's been what, 5 or so hours minus my talk with Inyene? That doesn't seem too bad. I should still find out what happened though.'
*BOOM*
A very loud crash and clatter made me cover my ears. Looking around, nothing in the room fell nor did anything change. With my curiosity getting the better of me, I get up and off the bed only to notice my current clothing.
I am wearing a dark green and gold one piece seemingly silk dress and undergarments. Only one thought crossed my mind from this.
'If whoever changed me was a boy. I will kill them.'
Resuming my plan to find out what happened I went to the door and just realized something. Everything in the room, was my size. MY size. The 0.2 meter chibi.
'Am I in a dollhouse? Where wou-'
A maroon haired person flashes in my thoughts.
'Inyene.'
Sighing, the slight killing intent I had was snuffed instantly.
'There's no point in trying anything against her. She's a monster in her own right.'
Opening the door, I'm greeted by a straight corridor with abyss black windows on the right and decorated green doors on the right. The floor itself is covered in a long forest green and gold carpet. As I walk down, the tapestries in between each door become clear. The first one is of a giant, covered from head to toe in black armor with green lines along it. The background of the tapestry is a large castle and blue lightning bolts shimmering. The ground in the tapestry seems cracked, like an earthquake or a crevice.
The second tapestry is one depicting a Knight, I assume a knight, holding a green and gold sword, pointing it to the right, towards the third tapestry. The background is a throne room of some sort. The third tapestry is one of a large brown-black bat with red eyes. The background is a simple cave, with stalactites and stalagmites. The brown-black bat seems to be facing the Knight and it seems quite pissed, teeth bared and all.
The next tapestry is after a door. As I pass the door, a copper nameplate intrigues me. The plate itself isn't fancy or special, just a copper nameplate with black letters attached. The intriguing part is the word on the plate. It looks like some sort of cross between Japanese and Korean but the most interesting part, is that I can somehow understand it. Although the ability to read it escapes me, I can understand the meaning of it.
"Methalia's Forge."
*CRRK*
The door creaks open, as if inviting me in. Although I might find it interesting normally and go in.
'I still need to find out what happened.'
As if reading my intentions, the door closes. The words, however, change.
"Forest's Forge."
My eyes narrow. Although not the same language, the meaning of my last name. Is Forest.
'Bloody hell, what is this place, what happened to me...'
It slipped my mind only to come up now, 'Status'.

My eyes widen. With a sense of urgency to find out what happened, I run to the end of the corridor, ignoring the tapestries and open the door. I'm greeted with a fancy platform with stairs and rails along them, the entire room looks similar to that of a ballroom for greetings with dark green tables around the room. Immediately going down the stairs towards what looks like the entrance, I open the doors to a larger room, a normal sized one. Seeing the familiar office of Inyene, I simply get more confused.
"Ah, you're awake now."
I turn towards the familiar, booming voice. I spot Inyene, in the exact same clothes as 6 hours ago. I open my mouth but she begins speaking first.
"You drank too much last night you know. Didn't you say you were still a minor? It's dangerous to do such a thing." After a sigh, she continues, "And for another thing," she pauses, staring directly at me.
With a hesitant tone, she speaks slower. "You, you don't remember do you."
Shaking my head I ask the question I felt necessary. "What happened in the past 6 hours? How did my sta-"
A facepalm interrupts me. With a hand over her face, Inyene opens her mouth before stopping with a hesitant glimmer in her eyes.
"You, were asleep for half a day."
Before I can speak with widened eyes, she continues.
"After modelling for 10 hours, forging for 26 hours and engraving for 7 hours."
My jaw dropped she looks at me before speaking once more.
"I'll explain. Eh, maybe it'd be easier to fix your memories."
Walking up to me, she bites her pinky before putting the blood on my forehead. A screen pops up.
[The King of Lust and Chastity wishes to access your memories, will you allow this?]
[Yes/No]
Clicking 'Yes', my consciousness begins to slip away.
Opening my eyes, I find myself in a black space, with nothing around me. Soon, a small object approaches. As it gets closer, I identify it as a projector. A white screen appears, out of nowhere, it hovers in front of me and the projector moves next to me and begins to whirr.
Slowly, the video becomes clearer, showing me my memories.
---43 Hours Earlier---
I was sat on a small, and I mean small, dark green velvet cushioned steel chair. The chair itself was placed in the middle of half of a large white sheet on the floor, with the other half draped over a back wall, albeit barely. I was just sitting and waiting until Inyene got back with the large black suitcase. It looked somewhat menacing, with purple and gold sheened steel along parts of it. The lock had a small plate with the simple design:[Inyene Ⅵ]
It was quite a nice suitcase, little did I know then that, that suitcase, would hold the next and most painful ten hours within it. Ignorant of the suffering that was to ensue, I spoke to Inyene who'd just got back.
"So, why does it say Ⅵ, does that mean you're Inyene the Sixth?"
Inyene smiled before she answered me.
"Yep. Well, technically yes, there are quite a few complications with it though."
Her eyes glistened and a small smirk appeared, however, her eyes quickly lost the sparkle and she decidedly went back to the suitcase's contents.
As Inyene sorted the different dresses, I was looking around and taking in my surroundings. The first thing I had noticed was the placing of my chair. It was, first of all, small. It was on top of a piece of paper covering a small area and the 'wall' was just an iPad stood up. The most interesting thing about the area was without a doubt, the lighting equipment. Although downsized, it all worked perfectly.
'I wonder how they did this, is there some way they made the mana function as electricity? That would make sense but how did they make these this small? Magic? Or some kind of expert doll-maker of some sort? No, they usually don't work with metal like this. Did they use m-'
"Oh Ruru~"
My gaze snapped back to Inyene, who was standing there holding a doll dress. The real terror was what I had spotted in the suitcase... at least 4 stacks of doll dresses...
"4 stacks! THIS ISN'T... well, I did say I'd 'model' BUT NOT THIS KIND!"
"Foolish little Ruru, you said you'd 'Model' some dresses. I count 4 and a half stacks of dresses 'some' and you won't dare go back on your word right~"
A chill went down my spine as I was being stared at like a predator does to prey.
And thus, the 'modelling began'.
