One day, I was walking by a cliff and I slipped off the edge. I managed to grab a rock the jutted out from the side of the cliff, but a branch caught my ribbon. It tore and plummeted downwards. I yelled for help. The only person who heard me was Jhudora. She did not recognize me because of the disguise. So she gave me devil horns and dark purple bat wings. Dee was able to fly up, but I yelled at Jhudora for making her look they way she did. As punishment for "ungratefulness", she also made me take over the job of being the grim reaper. Every now and then, I would seemingly become possessed and leave to carry out my duties. It was a terrible thing. Then one day, I went to the air faerie to get this fixed. She also didn't recognize me. She felt sympathy for me, so my dark duty was taken away and so were the devil's horns. I still had my wings, however. The air faerie had forgotten to take them away. So, for a while, I went through life normally at home with Saaski.
Then one day, I was flying around particularly high, and I found a castle, just floating there. I decided to go inside. There I found the faeries, who were discussing how to try and find me. Luckily, this time Fyora recognized me. I was welcomed back and turned back into her true self. Myazaki, the abominable snowball Saaski had bought me, was surprised to see that I had changed. That night, I got to stay in the castle, but when I awoke, I smelled smoke. When I opened my eyes, everything was covered in a red-orange glow. The palace was on fire. I took Myazaki and got out of there, since he wouldn't last long in the heat. Unfortunately, Jhudora found them. Recognizing me this time, we engaged in a long battle. At one point, Jhudora struck my left leg, thus breaking it. I couldn't move. Jhudora was summoning all her power and was about to unleash it on me, when Myazaki saw. He ran right in front of me and took the attack. He died upon impact. I cried out in pain and then felt an incredible power surging through my body. I found enough strength to get up, and I hit Jhudora with about as much power as she had hit Myazaki, but it didn't kill her. I had my paw to Jhudora's throat when she suddenly disappeared. I fell into a deep depression....
Then I went to the faeries to take away my pain. They did, and in the process, totally stripped me of my emotions. Or so we all thought. I still felt emotions, but I lived in denial, pretending I didn't. One day, I was in a forest clearing with several lupes. There was a girl named Bush Petal (or Song), and two boys, wind and hazel. I was getting along well with Wind, but he left for a hunt. Upon trying to talk to Song, she would ignore me. I got frustrated and asked why she wouldn't talk to me, promising to leave her alone if she told me. Her cruel response was, "Maybe you could take a hint, fae, and leave me alone." I was crying because of her malice and struck her leg. My memories then came back and hit me in the face with such a force, I could not bear it. She yelped when I hit her paw, and growled at me. "If you only knew anything about my past..." I said to her. She replied "Well, maybe you don't know what IV'E been through!" She then ran behind a bush and sobbed. Hazel, who was getting along with her, ran after her, but he stopped by me to growl "Don't you dare come after me or talk to Song!" in a cold voice. I lost it there. I had done nothing wrong, except striking her paw, yet he still treated me as if I was the villian in this situation. "I may not know much about you, but if you've had such a horrible past, then why are you making people's present so miserable?!" I shrieked at her. "My only friend was killed! And know I have to deal with the world hating me! I may as well go die!" They ignored me, focused on healing Song. I tried to fly away, but the sudden burst of strong emotion seized me. I paseed out. I fell and landed at the bottom of a deep cliff with a sickening thud. Wind returned from his hunt, asking what had happened. Hazel told him that he could not say and continued helping Song, turning back to growl at me as I lay dying. I drew a long, shuddering breath, and then I laid still. There was no mourning for me. No one knew I was gone. No one cared. Saaski had no idea. I wished that I could go down there and tell her and to be with her and my earthly siblings one last time, but I was past the point of no return.
Upon death, my spirit was taken to the abode of the faeries, where I was to live out eternity. Naturally, I felt as if my time on Earth had been cut short. I began asking the faeries if I could go down for a visit quite frequently. I would ask at least once a day, but only to be dissapointed. Eventually they tired of my whining. So they decided to send me to neopia. But, since I had displeased them, they removed my powers as a goddess. They also gave me this wretched mask, so that none may recognize me. Then, I was but a lonely ghost, wandering the world with my feepit. I had no friends, no family, no one to comfort me. Some might consider my then eternal existence a blessing, but it was a curse. I had no fear of passing on. I longed to get away, but I was chained to this world until the end of time.
One day, I was sitting by my cliff, thinking. Death had made me bitter and cruel towards others, and I despised being bothered. Then, one of Jhudora's minions, Ker came after me. She dragged me away to Jhudora herself. I was very afraid. I knew what she could do to me. And I knew she would not kill me. That would be too kind. Somehow, Fyora found out and looked down at me. I pleaded with her to free me. Jer, Ker's twin, was with her and also pleaded for me. She narrowed her eyes and said "Leave her." I was shocked. They chained me to the ground. Jhudora also brought me back to life. However, she cursed me so I cannot die. I was given little food and I was tortured daily. I thought there was no hope for me...
I had made numerous escape attempts, all of which failed miserably. Jhudora or Ker would always find me. I could pull up the chains easily, but I was too weak to be able to run anywhere. Of course, after I was caught, I'd be beaten harder than ever. One day, I was lying there, thinking of how I might be able to get past Jhudora unnoticed. I looked up, and I saw the air faerie, who had come to save me once more. She cried when she saw me, and she held me to her. "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here. No matter what Fyora says, I'm not leaving you like this." she whispered to me. Some other air faeries took the chains off, and we crept quietly away. The air faerie who gave me my ribbon was talking with Jhudora, trying to distract her. But Ker noticed us escaping. "Jhudora! She's escaping!" she howled. Jhudora was furious. She and Ker flew after us, rage burning within them. The air faeries and I ran, but we weren't as fast as Jhudora and Ker. Just when I thought that I would have to go back to a life as a prisoner, Jer intervened. He leapt at Jhudora and began attacking furiously. He wouldn't even turn around to face Ker, who was doing most of the damage. The faeries and I kept running, not wanting to face Jhudora's wrath.
The faeries left me in the Lost Desert, a place they felt I would fit in. Before leaving, I was fed till I had eaten my fill, and then they removed all of my curses. I could now die, but I no longer wished death upon myself. I pray that soon I will have enough strength to go find Saaski and my family to tell them all that has happened. But I had to stay, for my own safety.
After the air faeries left me in the desert, I lived on the outskirts of Sakhmet city. I was still malnourished, my wings were molting unnaturally and I was still bruised. I was a wreck, and I feared that I would die. But I was not left to die. Someone must have sent help, and they sent it through a lupe named Akhom. He saw that I was in a poor condition, and took me to a healer. She told me that all I needed to do was to take care of myself. We left, and then Akhom took me to his home in the temple of Anubis. I lived there, as I had no home of my own. We became friends very quickly.
We were out in the desert one day and then Akhom felt a disturbance in Sakhmet, his powers telling him that something was wrong. I flew overhead using my newly healed wings and he ran beneath me. He stumbled once or twice, and I knew that something must be very wrong for that to happen. He was normally so graceful as he ran across the sands. We arrived in Sakhmet, and Razul was terrorizing the city. Akhom turned to me and told me to go to the ruins and find the ancient tablets that were within it. I immediately obeyed and raced off in the direction of the ruins. After some searching, I managed to find the tablets he spoke of. I was supposed to read the words of power inscribed upon them, but when I looked at them, I realized that I could not read or speak the language. I sank to the ground and sobbed in despair. There was nothing I could do. I was completely helpless. Far away, a faerie (I'm not sure which one) saw that I needed help, and she possessed me, in a sense. I rose again, and looked over the tablet. I spoke the words, pronounciating them perfectly. I flew back, and Razul had been defeated. But Akhom was laying in a heap on the ground. I knew what had happened, but I refused to accept it at the same time. I shook him, telling him to wake up. I began screaming his name at his now lifeless body. A crowd had gathered and they were watching me, but I paid them no mind. Eventually, an ixi came up to me, asking if they could hold a proper funeral for him so his spirit could find peace in the afterlife. I said yes, and I went to a relief center for the night. Akhom's funeral was not long after. I read some texts as a memorial to him. They put his sarcophagus inside the dark tomb, and I walked away, to the edges of the desert once more.
I realized that I could no longer stay in the desert, as it was so hard for me. I saw images of Akhom everywhere. So I left. I began my long journey across the world. I was going home, after almost a year of being gone. At long last I came to the door of my old home. I pawed at the door, like I used to oh so long ago. Saaski opened the door, but did not recognize me. "It's me... Dee." I said to her, my voice weak with the suffering of every one of my memories. And Saaski stood there and cried. She embraced me, and we wept together, pouring out all of our sorrows together. I told my family of my story and what had happened, and they were shocked to hear all the horrible things that I had to endure. However, things soon returned to normality, my brother Raimano's craziness, Kail's calmness, Yano's surliness. So much had happened while I was gone, and it was wonderful to hear about it and become a part of it once more. And I hope that I never will be taken away from it again.
