Short Stories

	A Trip to the Tomb It was a cold summer night, all the people on Mystery Island had gone to bed. There were but two people awake on the island, an old Nimmo keeping an eye on the Rock Pool, and the Island Mystic. Or so they thought. by aprildewdrops
	The Story of the Hidden Tower Haven't we all dreamed and wondered about the mysterious tower? by x_mystichorse_x
	The Tale of Coco Metrone The real backstory behind the life of Coco Metrone! by yashasvika
	The Melon Gem It's a little bundle of green fur. That's what I take to be the scenario, at first. Slowly, her head peeks up, and pink eyes gaze at me questioningly. Nubby black horns gleam a bit as she stands up in a wobbly way, and as my leg moves outward in sheer maternal instinct, she falls against my knee. by raven_esque
	Tales From Elysian Fields: Neopian Appetites You’re entering a world as real as you make it out to be; there are no limitations to the possible inputs and outputs. But unlike an equation, you can’t chart relics of a time yet to come — an opening into the dark matter before us. Free from the shackles of reality, you are about to take a walk in Elysian Fields. by bug0704
	A Stealthy Shoyru's Mission Deep within the mountains of Shenkuu, a tiny temple rested carved into the side of one of the highest peaks. The chipped gray paint of the walls and the torn red banner that waved aimlessly gave the impression that this particular temple was most likely abandoned long ago. However, to think that this tiny building nestled deep within the mountain was devoid of any company was incorrect. by sassyxsandra

Top Ten Colors for Ruki Day
I’m here to list ten of my favorite Ruki colors to convince you to do the same. According to the Neopets Popularity page, the Ruki is all of the way down in 39th place with a total of 2,027,176 Rukis created, and that is an injustice when you see how many beautiful colors are available for this unique species.

The Sorceress and the Prisoner: Part Three
Jeran scoured the castle for his sister, a tiny shred of worry in his heart. It was well known he was protective of his sister, despite her being a powerful sorceress. She usually came to him when he called for her, as he did to her, out of mutual respect for the other, but there was no pattering of light footsteps coming towards him, no happy hug to see her brother not training.

Mother's Balloon: Part Seven
The Worthingtons went to work, but their houseguest remained in her seat. She did not try to help this time around, and she wondered if she ever would again. Her hands hurt too much to hold a knife to slice cheese or butter bread, and even if she was able to carry her own plate to the table, she would probably just drop it and smash it on the floor, and then everyone would step on the pieces, and would end up dropping their dishes as well.
