Disclaimer: I don't own Duzie, though I wish I did.  ^_^  He could come in handy.

Notes:  This just popped into my head and I simply had to write it down.  It's not great, but it's not bad either.  Mainly it's a short oneshot to read when you have a little extra time.

Thank you Carmerethiel for pointing out my mistake.  Don't know what I was thinking…  Can't believe I but 1000 instead of 100.  Anyways, I fixed it.

Also thanks to Angelike Riddle for wanting to list my story on your fanlisting.  So now this story can also be found @ .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am the Vampire King Duzell.

At one time, I was extremely powerful and people feared me.  But now… 100 years later…

With a sigh I close my slanted eyes and yawn.  I stretch out my paws.  Yes, you heard right.  Not hands...paws.

You see, I am currently a cat.  Well, a Kyawl to be exact, but I'm not picky.  Kyawl…cat, makes no difference to me.   All that I acknowledge is the fact that now I am an animal, a beast.  Literally this time!

Me!  The powerful vampire king Duzell, reduced to being a household pet!  And to top things off, it's not just any household, either.  I am currently the pet to the ancestor of my enemy.  Of all the inconceivable indignities!  The gods must be laughing at me, but I do not share their humor.  Yes, at the current time I don't seem to have much luck, not that I had much 100 years ago, I mean I was defeated.  Why can't anything simply go as I plan it?!  What did I do to deserve such a fate?!

……

Well… okay, maybe there were a lot of bad things I did back then.  Even so you have to agree that this kind of a punishment is a bit much.

And to top it all off, I have yet to find the reincarnation of my enemy, King Phelios, which was my whole purpose in returning to this world.  All I seem to find are mindless fools and idiots who pose as his descendants!  Not only that, but I have yet to regain my full magical potential.  When will this nightmare end?

Yes… my life has taken a turn for the worse.

"Duzie, it's time for bed!" Lady Ishtar calls from the bedroom.

I pad into the room and curl up beside her.

Well, on second thought, I suppose it's not all bad.

Didya like it?  I know it's extremely short, but I didn't want to go overboard.  Maybe if I think of more stuff to add I will write a revised version.
