This was written in answer to a challenge Essy put forward on the UGL list.
It's weird, it's freaky, it stars a megalomaniac Chicken. Need I say more? *g*
It's also very lighthearted..please don't hold it against me!

A Deadly Promise
No-one notices as I make my way towards the throne room. A chicken, nothing more. But they take things for granted, those fools. A bird cannot think, right? Cannot comprehend what is going on? Ahh, but that is where I am exempt. For I wasn't always this way, confined to a worthless existence, tormented and kicked by dimwits. I was their master once, their ruler. A glorious power.
Now I am nothing. A symbol. A reminder forgotten.
I will be glorious again.
But I am still powerful; he could never take that away. Neither fits of rage nor acts of jealously could remove what is innate. Some are born to rule, others to be ruled. His weakness will end him, a penchant for games and young girls, a mockery of my existence.
The floor is cold and hard on my feet as I cluck past the masses, my minions. A rock skids past, missing me narrowly. My mission is dangerous but not futile, not this time! This time he will be the one to peril, to be shamed and humiliated!
I wonder, will he miss his luxuries? His silk clothes? His daily bath? Could he handle this simple, worthless life? I think not. This king lacks courage..a spine.
Yes! That's it. He will be spineless!!
Oh, how perfect, a state to reflect his character. And I will watch as he writhes around, pathetic. Maybe I'll even be merciful..a boot brought down hard, a sensory suicide in the bog....
For he will die and by my hand. My plan is almost complete. Soon, soon I shall rise again! The phoenix from the flames of this eternal damnation; a new birth!
A morsel catches my eye as I traverse the filthy floor. I make my way towards it. I will need energy, for my rise will be soon. A deadly promise. My kingdom, my servants, my subject. My world. It will be mine again!
No-one notices as I make my way across my throne room. A chicken, nothing more.

Yep, another weird one!
