If the Hidden Tower Really Did Hide by rishiy |  |
FAERIELAND - Many Neopians take to the sky every day to travel to the wonder
that is Faerieland. Hundreds do the quests, buy the fragile little items and
even search for the Hidden Tower itself. But what would we do if these luxuries
disappeared?
Okay, so maybe I'm being a bit hasty as I said, I mean our winged companions
have no reason to leave us, do they?
Well actually yes. Let's pick a random pet, oh lets say....Balthazar. This completely
random individual has been capturing pets for years, just because he was pestered
by a few bad ones in his time. Then, even the kindest of Neopians will only
rescue one for the prize of an awesome ability. It doesn't really say that much
for what we think of them does it. Are we neglecting our faerie friends?
But Balthazar has been around a while and the faeries don't seem to be packing
their bags just yet, so what, has the present brought, that would make them
want to leave? A war. With the thousands of Neopians flocking to the water faeries
for instant healing, and Illusen and Jhudora's homes being practically raised
to the ground by pets doing quests in exchange for weapons. Even Balthazar (yes,
back to him) has been literally pressured into bottling the poor creatures.
OK, let's not be too hasty, that's not likely to happen is it? But let's see
what would happen if one of our number one sources of, just about everything
failed us.
Faerie Paint Brush:
If the faeries were to disappear, surely they would take this with them. What
would happen to all the faerie pets? Would their wings flutter to the ground
like leaves off a tree? Would we have to look on helplessly as many an owner
tried frantically to glue on their precious pets means of flight? If this happened,
would we watch as pets plummeted out of the sky like meteors from the very skies
above...oh, ahem...Well it wouldn't be very nice would it? But also, these brushes
sell form thousands as do their petpet counterparts, would one of Neopia's hooks
go down the toilet? Umm...if Neopia had toilets that is. You see, many of the
people I've referred, were attracted by the faeries. New users seem to like
our glowing companions.
Faerieland:
If the faeries went, would their home land come crashing through the clouds
destroying everything it hit, or would it just spontaneously combust? Would
all the people living there run around screaming as their homes burned to the
ground? OK, maybe I'm exaggerating. Does Faerieland really need faeries to survive?
Well, yes. A floating city isn't something you see everyday is it? And there
for, obviously needs a fair bit of magic or extreme science to keep it in place.
And unless Sloth had a sickening feminine side he just had to show off, only
Faeries would have the means to do so.
Items:
Many of us buy the dainty little cutie-pie petpets and pink thinks that go on
sale in the bright pink shops. If they went, would we have imploded our last
Floud with the power of carrots? Will we have munched our last cupcake? How
will we buy these items? If it happens, I think well be seeing a lot more of
that ugly grey retired sign. OK, retired items do sell for a fare price, but
they will disappear quickly, as on last check, the faeries only sell books food
and petpets, two of which are expendable items. And the Hidden Tower. Will it
reveal itself and be open for plunderers? OK, maybe its not all bad, boy would
I like to get my hands on a few of those...ahem...where was I? Or will it disappear
into thin air? This ones more likely.
Level Ups:
What about the blessings the faeries give us. Without the help of our bottled
companions, our pets would stay, wasting away as level 3 dust-weights, let alone
featherweights! All our watery attacks would run dry our air ones would plummet
from great heights, our earth blows would crumble and our fire would extinguish!
OK, I'm not saying the elements would grind to a halt, I'm just saying our elemental
attack would disappear. And that's just not good! It will be an age of darkness,
not even that with out a certain faerie sort, and we won't be able to defend
our selves. If it ever happens, stronger pet will find a lot of seedy weakling
on their front porch searching for refuge!
What if they do leave, how will we survive? Well for training, we still have
the island training school and cooking pot. Well actually, no. The island cooking
pot we hold dear for weapons will close if the Island Faerie, Jhuidah leaves.
And as far as I can see, she runs the whole island, or at least looks after
it, so that would fall into disrepair soon after.
Well there's still the Snowager and snow faerie. Well at least there is one
Faerie we wont miss, she drains our bank account to get us to buy her chocolate!
I bet the only potion she makes goes by the name of double fudge chip sundae!
But then again, she is the source of the number one defence item, the scorchstone.
Even though, these are sold, its very rare, and I've even heard stories of people
getting morphing potions and even paint brushes such as plushie! And not even
the Snowager will keep going. You see, the great ice beast gives out mainly
neggs, and who else gives out neggs? The negg faerie! Can you work out what
I'm getting at? If the faerie in question leaves, we will have nowhere to cash
in the treasures, even if the Snowager's supply does last out a bit.
And what about that Water Faerie that heals our poor Neopets? How many times
has she left you bank balance untouched by healing your pet, when you could
have had to face the 20k odd that is the price Neopia's health service. And
the Soup Faerie, living at the bottom of that dank cooking pot, running a service
initially set up to feed the poor Neopian's, now mainly a refuge for people
to lazy to work! And the countless other Faeries that dish out the dough for
crazy reasons such as losing a tooth you didn't even lose and spinning a wheel!
Well, I think I've proven my point, we neglect the faeries and they could
be planning a secret escape right this minute! If they do go, at least we can
rely on Chet Flash! Ummm, actually, I think I better go do some grovelling to
Fyora! |
