Atilan

It was a bad year. It was the rotting season, and we were weak, but we could survive it as we had survived many bad years. That year a monstrous white bird arrived on the shore.

Triccity's Travels: Mystery Island

I wasn’t sure how far I travelled or for how long before I heard something big heading my way. I couldn’t hide and I doubted running would help since I didn’t know how fast the thing was moving.

Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlefolks, I am nothing if not an honest man…” Vandebart intones, committing the words to memory as he enters the Soapbox.

Magnum Imperium: The Candidate

However, there was energy, a magical current that flowed throughout. It was wild and dangerous. It was also unstable; it’s temperature would soar to scorching heights one moment and plummet to frosty depths the next.

Wish-Granting

When it came time for the group to retire for the night, the Chia was among the weariest Neopets in camp, except for perhaps Skyleur herself, and for a moment Skyleur was worried that the Chia would insist on giving up her bed.

"The Afterparty Cleanup" by ningkov1
The day after Neopia's birthday celebrations was a time when most were still happily drifting along on a sugary sweet cloud of treats; however, for those in the Cleanup Brigade it was one of the busiest days of the year. Leftover candy wrappers, confetti, gift boxes, party streamers: most of these items were trash, though every year usable goods and even treasures were found by the cleaners. Last year, a newbie somehow stumbled upon a Cybunny Morphing Potion, valued at over 10 million Neopoints! She quickly quit her job and was now travelling around Neopia. Ginger, unfortunately, was not as lucky as that newbie. It was already her tenth year on the job, but she had never found anything worth more than a couple thousand Neopoints. Thankfully, she did find enough items in the trash to furnish her entire apartment! Every day she came home to an eclectic mix of Birthday, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Faerie Festival furniture and goods. As a senior member of the staff, she was assigned to the Haunted Woods today. Fortunately, it was one of her favourite areas (despite the creepiness) due to the nice Neopians that worked at the fairgrounds. She looked around at the dark trees and tried not to listen too carefully to the eerie sounds around her. She could have sworn she heard someone screaming in the distance...
