I'm not sure why, but for some reason, everyone expects me to let them in on my life story. I don't really understand why... I mean, I'm not famous, or very interesting for that matter! But, since you want to know, and I have nothing better to do, I guess I'll tell you. You might wanna get comfortable... it could be a while.
Well, I started off pretty normal. I was born as a white zafara. I was happy, I guess. I've always lived with Dragina, and so things were good. But one day, while I was out and about, without the saftey of my gaurdian, I was kidnapped. This was another one like Dragina, as in, an owner of neopets. He thought that my white color was too plain, so he took me to this horrible place. A crazy scientist, and this rogue owner strapped me down, and fired a giant raygun at me. It hurt has my flesh turned, and stretched. Displeased that I had only turned blue, he wrenched me from the contraption, and kept me in a cage. He didn't even feed me, but he took me to that awful place everyday. He told me that I wasn't tough, and I would never be a good fighting pet. But I didn't WANT to be a fighter! I just wanted to go home. He wouldn't let me, and so with each zap, my sanity left me. Finally, I was zapped, and I mutated into a monster. My captor smiled, and said I was now a mutant ixi. He said I could be fierce, because I looked savage. But he didn't know that my mind wasn't right, and I WAS savage. He would take me out, and try to train me, but I refused him. So he would beat me, which only made things worse. One day, I sank my fangs into his arm. The coward ran away, leaving me, insane, and alone. Over time, my soft, brown eyes had turned rabid, and one even turned black! I went around, causing havoc, and terror. Nothing could pacify my rage. Other neopians would try to befriend me, but I was too viscious for friendship. I roamed all over Neopia, searching for the owner who had been so cruel to me. I never found him... And it's a good thing too... well, for him anyway.
So after a while, I stayed a long time in the Haunted Woods. I never was much of a fighter, so I kept pretty much to myself. One day, I heard someone calling my name. It was a sound, so sweet to my ears, that I had to investigate. When I looked around, I saw my original owner, Dragina! At first I was skeptical, because of how my previous owner had been. She looked confused, when I came running to her.
Yukai?" she looked puzzled.
Yes, it's me. I know I look different, but some horrible things have happened, and I just want to come home!" I leapt at her, and then I feared she wouldn't catch me because of my ugliness. But she did, and smiled, as tears of joy leaked from her eyes.
Oh Yukai... I thought you were gone forever..." she hugged me, and stroked my thick green fur.
Do you think... you could make me... normal again?" I looked up at her, my eyes pleaded.
Why? You're so gorgeous!" She grinned, and stroked my head. It shocked me. How could anyone think of me as gorgeous? I felt better, and decided to stay my mutant self.
Let's go home..." she smiled, and motioned for me to follow. I was glad to be going home, for good.
She lived in Neopia Central, which was fine with me. When I got home, I found Dark and Kari were still there. They were happy to see me, even Kari, who tried to hide it. I had my own room, and I lay in bed that night, wondering if this was all a dream. When morning came, I was afraid to open my eyes, to see that my bed and Dragina were just a fantasy. But I was relieved when I woke up in my bed.
After that, I got into plants- especially the carnivorous ones. I had a nice little garden around our home. The plants helped calm me down, and restored some of my sanity. But I kept having nightmares, and I would wake up screaming and kicking. One day, when I came home, everyone was gathered around the kitchen table, grinning. A small box, with a red bow sat in the middle.
Thought you might need this..." Dragina said, handing me the box. I opened it, and I was speechless. Inside, looking up at me with huge eyes sat a little Blorpulous. He squealed in excitement at me, and then flew out of the box, and landed on my head. He squeaked happlily, nuzzling himself in my fur. I called him Gremlinn, and he was the best thing anyone has ever given me.
After that, I didn't have anymore nightmares, as Gremlinn never left my side. Not even when I left my home again. I told everyone I was leaving, and that I would be back. They were reluctant to see me go, and I was reluctant to leave. But I just had to go away for a while, and clear my head. Gremlinn of course came with me. I moved up to Terror Mountain. My little shack got snowed in, and since we couldn't leave, I decided to nap. When I woke up, everything was different. I had changed, and so had the outside world. There were new shops and everything. I found out that I had been asleep for three years! How?! I wondered. Then some locals told me that the section of mountain I lived in had gotten snowed in, and then buried under an avalanche. I must have been frozen during all this time! So I hurried back to Neopia Central, with Gremlinn, to see if Dragina was still there. To my dismay, she had moved away. I asked around and neighbors said she moved the Haunted Woods. So, I checked there, and it took a few days, but I found her. She was surprised to see me, and how I had changed.
Yukai! Wow! I thought something might have hapened to you! Welcome home!" She smiled, and ran to me, to hug me. I was now much larger than she was. Kari and Dark were still there, and now a pink zafara named Kett. He wasn't frightened of me either, so everything was pretty good. My story has a happy ending, because now I'm home, ready to start over...
