List of Damy and Deirdre endings

Between 2003 and 2006, multiple endings were conceived for the story of Damy and Deirdre. Below is a list with a short description:

## Canon ending

After having been tormented by Damy for too long, the residents of the One-Scratch-and-Spotted-Field band together to kill him, more specifically; capture Deirdre with the expectation he'll surrender and allow his death to happen.

They agree with each other that Deirdre's death should be entertained if Damy refuses to cooperate, as she's considered equally guilty for being a murderer's friend.

Damy manages to release Deirdre from her imprisoned state, but in order to further protect her, has to take her and flee from many meerkat colonies chasing them down, armed with primitive weapons.

With the forest cleverly booby-trapped, Damy receives some hits and continuous attacks thrown at him don't give him the opportunity to heal himself. Eventually he collapses inside of a bush, out of sight of everyone. He has a short exchange with Deirdre and says to have expected this day to happen, as he's the villain. His last words urge her not to waste tears on him.

While Deirdre tries to save him with his own saliva, he dies and the mob finds them shortly afterwards. After seeing Damy's corpse, they lose interest and leave Deirdre with her sorrow.

He and Deirdre never revealed their feelings for each other.

## "Royal" ending

Damy is called up once again and asked to take his rightful place as king of vampiremeerkats. With his mother seemingly having disappeared, he figures it's best to accept if he wants the vampires to stay out of the mortal world.

He takes the persistent Deirdre along to the ceremony being held in the world of vampires, pleasing very little residents. Damy is told to marry and choose from a pre-selection of candidates, which inspires a distressed Deirdre to disguise herself as a vampiremeerkat/candidate. Though she carries the unmistakable scent of a normal meerkat, she manages to make her surroundings doubt themselves and stand alongside the other female vampires.

Damy asks her why she decided to interfere, which forces her to confess her love. As the crowd starts to get nervous and urges him to hurry up and choose a wife, Damy uses the law against them and chooses the mortal that was carelessly accepted in the screening process, Deirdre. They become the king and queen of vampiremeerkats.

## "Necessary" ending

Damy leaves Deirdre behind to become the king of the restless vampiremeerkats, and marries another woman.

While she's trying to accept he'll never come back, he suddenly shows up with a huge army. He explains to her that this takeover is what vampiremeerkats have been waiting for, and she has to stay inside his house if she wants to survive. He repeats that this is not a reunion and they may never be seen together.

Deirdre has to live in a world overrun by demons, ruled by Damy and his wife.

## "Family" ending

Damy and Deirdre marry and get a daughter, named Laetitia.

## "Frozen" ending

Damy and Deirdre are being chased by the angry mob from the original ending, but manage to escape and hide inside his house. While the crowd is drawing near, Damy comes to the conclusion they need to disappear for a while in order for people to forget about them.

As he is immortal and Deirdre insists on staying involved with him, he suggests she should freeze herself and promises to come get her in the future. Though not looking forward to this, she lets him take her to the underground laboratory of a scientist meerkat that Damy seems to be acquainted with. As there seems to be some kind of debt that needs to be repaid, the man is forced to agree to Damy's demands and takes Deirdre to a machine, argued to do what they came for.

After he explained the controls, Damy decides he cannot be trusted with Deirdre's life and kills him.

In the year 12.000, he returns to this laboratory and wakes Deirdre up in a more humanized world with adapted meerkats. He explains to her that somewhere along the way a vampiremeerkat might've shared their knowledge with regular animals and the many events that happened afterwards made it unwise to resuscitate her. He admits her whereabouts became difficult to find after a while.

The One-Scratch-and-Spotted-Field no longer exists and is a human-like city now, and Damy's original house was destroyed by the mob years prior, leaving Deirdre with little familiarity.

Nevertheless, the two take their second chance at life to develop their existing relationship. With Damy's promise fulfilled, Deidre's romantic interest becomes less subtle and he decides to answer after the many years of loneliness.

## "Immortal" ending

Damy transforms Deirdre into a vampire, so he doesn't have to bear with the consequences of her mortality. The transformation changes her personality and her behaviour becomes more like his mother's.

This ending has no conclusion.

## "Late" ending

Deirdre dies of old age and Damy ends up alone, living in regret to have never told her his feelings. He becomes even more socially distant and rarely shows himself to the outside world.

## "Alternate future" ending

Deirdre is sent hundreds and thousands of years into the future by Cheekah, as to erase all traces of her and give Damy the impression she abandoned him.

In this far future, she learns that Damy has gotten a more monstrous appearance and became a tyrannizing animal. His mindless destructive nature turned the forest into an empty wasteland, and forced the surviving generations of meerkats in the area to live underground and hide from him every second of the day.

Because of this, they have evolved to look ghoulish.

When she meets up with Damy himself, he again doesn't remember her and their violent history repeats. Because of her patience, he slightly recovers over time, but it's implied that he'll never be able to speak full sentences again or show signs of civility.

## "Doppelgänger" ending

Deirdre is sent 100 years into the future by Cheekah, as to erase all traces of her and give Damy the impression she abandoned him.

In this far future, she learns that Damy is now crowned king of vampiremeerkats and is leading an army.

Similar to the "Necessary" ending, Damy has fully taken over the mortal world, yet is still looking for the lost Deirdre. Many fakes present themselves to him in the hopes of infiltrating his kingdom, either to destroy or benefit from Damy's care, but Damy is too observant and the women are killed for even trying.

The real Deirdre gets mixed up with the impersonators and is seconds away from being buried alive by a vengeful Damy, nevertheless, he notices her on time and picks up on her matching looks and mannerisms. While he knows Deirdre couldn't possibly be alive after so many years, he chooses to be hopeful and demands his lackeys to retrieve her from the pit.
His right hand man tries to talk him out it, noting on all the talented impostors who gave him the same doubts in the past. Deirdre loudly argues she is the real one and says to have time travelled; an excuse, and wilder ones, the other girls quickly copy.

It only creates for more confusion, but when his mother's long forgotten name is heard within the noisy crowd, Damy decides to believe the time travel story has some basis. He spares everyone for the time being and gives them another chance to convince him they are the one he's looking for.

As Deirdre grabs most of Damy's attention, the girls keep mimicking her behaviour and use mind tricks to get information out of her that would help win him over. A never-ending loop of false hope and disappointment follows, and Damy becomes unable to determine who is real and who is fake.

With frustration growing and little else left to do, he visits every castle bedroom late at night and sinks his teeth into the girl resting inside. When her blood lacks that familiar taste, he continues until she's dead. This method turns the vampiric Damy more feral with every bite, and by the time he arrives at Deirdre's chambers, his anger and impatience leaves no room for a delicate approach.

Deirdre is mauled, and by the time he realizes her blood is a match, there is little left to save.

She is nursed to health, but doesn't wake up. Damy has her dressed in royal clothing and titles her the queen of vampiremeerkats, though has to live with the fact he's comatosed his love interest for the rest of her live.

## "Cloned" ending

Years after his death by the angry mob, Damy gets cloned by a scientist who works for an unknown group that wants to use his strength for their own causes. Damy is reborn without any memories, but remembers his passion for violence and home before anything else. He escapes from his maker and soon meets up with Deirdre's daughter, who happens to now live in his house.

When Damy fully remembers who he is, he wants to use the daughter's DNA to get the deceased Deirdre back with the help of the scientist, who only agrees if Damy turns himself in. After a long struggle, he discovers there's no way to retrieve her and slowly bonds with her daughter instead.

## "Recovery" ending

While Damy is still dying in Deirdre's arms after the mob attack, he starts to hallucinate and meets up his deceased father.

Kurt says to be disappointed in what he's become, but also that time can be reverted and Damy start over. While he understands the whole "conversation" to be the work of his dying mind, he wonders if he could be a better person for that future with Deirdre, as his evil is still a conscious decision he made himself.

Kurt is awaiting his answer as if he were a genie in the sky, and Damy says to attempt the second chance, if it could be given to him. Immediately after, he wakes up in a regular meerkat hole, with his long hair cut, implying he grew up most of his life being a normal resident of the forest.

His mother has a different personality in this reality; which allowed for Damy to be properly raised by his mortal father. She is called the "fair" queen of vampires and seemingly created a world where vampiremeerkats and regular animals can co-exist.

While Damy's new body doesn't suffer from his previous abuse, the fact he remembers everything from his past life makes it hard for him to adapt and live alongside the creatures he used to hunt down, or take Cheekah's claimed benevolence seriously.

Before it proves too much for the introverted skeptic, he bumps into Deirdre, who shows concern for his behaviour and thinks he's having a cramp. She doesn't recognize him and Damy finds out she's in a relationship with Timon.

As he knows this alternate universe wasn't spawned by his dead father, but his own undeveloped magic's doing, he feels angry and deceived by his incompetence. He hopes to break the magic by making Deirdre remember what he still remembers, but she doesn't believe any of it and Timon tries to convince her he's a madman that should be avoided. Damy contemplates killing him and rekindling his relationship with her with him out of the way, but realizes it to make the reset pointless and affect Deirdre's happiness.

Damy dials it back and argues his behaviour to merely be stress. He confesses to be in love with a girl, but have no experience in swooning another. This excuse interests Deirdre and the story convinces her he's not a dangerous stranger.

She becomes set on giving him tips and asks about his progress every time they happen to meet. This practise slowly turns into a friendship, where Damy is always asked to join whatever activity she and Timon where planning on doing that day. During these moments, his crush is often discussed, but Deirdre ironically doesn't like "his girlfriend" much. After some time, she admits to think he's wasting his time on her and is offended she never joins them. Damy claims to be satisfied with how things are now and insists things could've been worse. Deirdre finds that a lazy answer, but respects it.

He, Timon, and Deirdre stay a trio of friends, though Timon and Damy have some palpable hostility, since Damy remembers a different past, while Timon thinks he has his eyes on Deirdre.
