Chapter 10: The end of the battle

Ishtar continued to cry as they held a funeral for Duzell. They had to still deal with Lassen, since he got away while they were all worried if Duzell was still alive. Ishtar was crying on Duzie's shoulder, while he rubbed her back. They didn't even have a body to put in the coffin. They weren't for sure if he was dead, but since they had searched up and down that river, finding no trace of him, he was declared dead. Phelios was dressed in an appropriate outfit for a funeral, much less a vampire funeral. Darres was there, Yuujin, Illsaide, Laphiji, Seilieze, and Vord were also there. Plus all the vampires who had served Duzell were present among them. Yuujin was the one saying all the lines to put Duzell's soul at rest. At that moment two vampires appeared. One looked exactly like Duzell, but one minor difference. His hair was black, not the white color that Duzell had. The woman had the white hair color that Duzell had, but different facial features. She had the red eyes, but looked more like Falan to Ishtar facial wise. The man spoke first.

"How did Duzell die?" He was addressing everyone, but he stopped when he spotted Duzie. He narrowed his eyes at Duzie. "Duzell?" The woman also narrowed her eyes for a better look.

"Yes my name is Duzell, but I am not the one that just died. I am the reincarnation of Duzell. They just call me Duzie so no one gets confused." The male vampire nodded his head slowly. The woman then spoke, her voice was soft and very sweet. The man, most likely her husband, had a more rough sounding voice.

"Is there anyone here who will answer my husbands first question? How did Duzell die?" She looked around, her eyes sad looking. Yuujin coughed to get their attention.

"We're not for sure if he's dead, Sharlen had pushed himself and Duzell down the cliff, many miles north from here. We had searched the entire area around the river, all the way to where the river started and ended. We found no trace of Duzell." Yuujin's eyes widened as he realized who these two vampires were. Especially when the female's eyes started to swell with tears.

"Alesandro what if he really is dead!" She wailed. Alesandro grabbed her by her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

"Gwendolyn, I will look around myself and see if he is dead or not." Yuujin pointed at them.

"You're the previous King and Queen of the vampire lands!" They both nodded and Ishtar's jaw dropped. She looked at Duzie.

"They're your parents??" Duzie gave her a funny look.

"Ishtar technically my parent is a female Kyawl, but yes those were my parents in my previous life." Ishtar gawked at them both, before realizing that she was most likely the cause of Duzell's death. She ran up to them both and bowed down, still crying.

"I'm sorry! Its all my fault!" Duzie appeared next to her.

"Ishtar its not your fault!" He sent a look at Gwendolyn and Alesandro to let her know that it wasn't her fault.

"No its not your fault Ishtar...." Gwendolyn said the best she could with out screaming it out to her. Even though she knew it wasn't Ishtar's fault, she just needed someone to take her anger out on.

(A few days later)

Ishtar was sitting outside in the gardens, staring at the flowers she had planted in during the time she was helping Duzell find Sharlen. They were wildflowers, her favorites. Ishtar sighed just thinking about Duzell, still hurt her heart. She heard footsteps behind her, but she didn't pay attention, until he addressed her.

"Lady Ishtar." She turned around to stare at Yuujin, and Darres.

"What is it Yuujin?"

"I just found out something about you and Darres. The marrige Sir Keld had arranged for you two shall never happen, because of what I found out. You both are siblings." Yuujin told her very slowly so she would be able to follow along. Ishtar gasped. 'Siblings?!'

Cliff-hanger! Guess what guys? That was the last chapter for this one! I said I would reveal the next title and it is "The past or present? Which one?" Alright review!
