by herdygerdy |
| Description: This place had changed so little. She remembered the market. Remembered the noise, the chaos of bartering... and a chaos of a different type. |
|
Week - 596
The Return: Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Jennings was waiting in Judge Hog's office when he finally finished processing the prisoners. Dawn had long since broken and neither the Judge, nor Jennings for that matter, had gotten any sleep. |
|
Week - 597
The Return: Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Welcome, Mr. Jennings," a figure hunched behind the crystal ball greeted him. |
|
Week - 598
The Return: Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The industrial district was located on the east side of the city, in the northern Docklands along the coast where the ships came to port. It was a mess of factories and smoke, and few people lingered there who weren't working. |
|
Week - 599
The Return: Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "You ever wonder how this place pays the bills?" the Judge asked. |
|
Week - 600
The Return: Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Who exactly Chaos was, Jennings didn't get to ask. The fire Lutari turned his attention from the Krawk as if he were a mild annoyance, focusing on the cane and the green gem atop it... |
|
Week - 601
The Return: Part Nine
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "At last!" he declared. "I've been waiting for you..." |
|
Week - 602
The Return: Part Ten
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Even with the boost of Madame Guillotine's ghostly power, the Judge was still losing the fight. Jennings could only watch on in horror as Chaos rained down more and more blows on the caped Moehog. |
|
Week - 603
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: There was the tiniest of cracks as the young blue Gelert forced the lock on one of the drawing room's windows, before silently pulling it open and gesturing to his fellow thief, a brown Kougra. |
|
Week - 604
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: There were state of the art security systems protecting every single floor and not once in the fifteen years or so since the building's construction had it ever been breached. This of course didn't fill Clayton with a great deal of confidence... |
|
Week - 605
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: That, in truth, was the reason Clayton had agreed to go with Faversham. The Guild was going from bad to worse, all the Kougra was doing was getting out before he got dragged down with it. |
|
Week - 606
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "This is a code red, the Space Faerie is free! Repeat, the Space Faerie is free! All hands to the mutation ray!" |
|
Week - 607
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Magical Research Department was tucked away in the basement of the building, under the thinking that if the wizards were hidden away somehow they couldn't cause any trouble... |
|
Week - 608
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "No more secrets," Clayton announced as they set sail. "If I'm going to carry on working for you, I want to know what's going on in advance." |
|
Week - 609
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton and Faversham were not the first to explore the passage. Despite the urgency of their mission, Faversham insisted that going first would draw attention... |
|
Week - 610
Agent of the Sway: Induction - Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Ha!" the Buzz boomed. "Foolish little creature - I am Tyragh! I have destroyed entire armies before today! You are nothing!" |
|
Week - 612
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "No, I quite agree." Thornpipe nodded. "Any number of patisseries might attack us." |
|
Week - 613
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "After we have contacted the Brain Tree, we will pick up our passengers from the Order of the Red Erisim and head to the desert ourselves..." |
|
Week - 614
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Thaddeus Oldnose and Alvare Thornpipe were waiting in the clearing near the Order's library when the carriage arrived. Oldnose kept glancing over his shoulder, as if they would soon be discovered... |
|
Week - 616
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Our agents in Neopia Central have already begun circulating rumors. My contact has directed Brucey towards the great Gebmid and Dr. Sloth's camp - by all accounts, the doctor should breach the tomb soon and then we will be underway." |
|
Week - 617
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "I have received a communication from the Duchess," Hopesmeade informed the Kougra as they made their way towards the palace. "In the absence of Faversham, I am now your immediate superior within our organisation." |
|
Week - 618
Agent of the Sway: Betrayal - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The news of King Coltzan's death spread the next morning. Clayton and Hopesmeade had made sure to be on the other side of the city with alibis, but in the end it didn't matter. |
|
Week - 615
The League of Nox
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Definitely ancient Qasalan," he whispered to himself. "Is that a Q? No, no... Surely it can't be...? Professor! Professor!" |
|
Week - 619
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The recreation deck offered impressive views of Neopia. Grimilix liked to come there, and stare down at the planet. Back when Dr. Sloth had been in control of the station, there hadn't been time for such luxuries... |
|
Week - 620
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: It was just over six months later that Clayton was called to the Duchess's mansion on the outskirts of Neopia Central's lavish Hills district. That was the way it went in the Sway... |
|
Week - 621
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Did you feel that?" she whispered like a child. "We've done it! It really worked!"
"No sign of your machine, I see," Clayton whispered back. "It really was a one way trip." |
|
Week - 622
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Ambition, Greed, and Revenge..." she considered. "Qualities a typical Sway agent could possess if pushed too far." |
|
Week - 623
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Citadel was at war. |
|
Week - 624
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The teleportation device did not carry them far, a few levels down into one of the side chambers of the Citadel. Clayton made short work of the few unsuspecting guards they found there, giving them time to take stock. |
|
Week - 625
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Duke Hopesmeade stared down the fearsome witch doctor. "Tura-Kepek, your activities on the island have not gone unnoticed..." |
|
Week - 626
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "The Zafara Double Agent," Elizabeth said. "An agent provocateur. Very skilled, but a flawed recruit." |
|
Week - 627
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Nine
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Court Dancer, as she introduced herself, arrived at Meridell Castle the following day. Clayton had to admit that the brown Aisha with long golden hair was not at all what he had been expecting... |
|
Week - 628
Agent of the Sway: Isolation - Part Ten
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton materialised within the bowels of the Citadel - Zylphia's device had at least performed better that time. |
|
Week - 629
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "The last time I was here, we blew a hole in the ice sheet," Clayton said.
"I should hope that will not be necessary," Hopesmeade replied, dusting the snow off his coat as he took it off. "Though, one never knows." |
|
Week - 630
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton's prize was hidden in the corner - at first glance it appeared to be an ice sculpture, but as the Kougra approached closer, he realised there was something hidden inside. |
|
Week - 631
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Thieves Guild had been fighting all night - the Bringer himself seemed largely impervious to his efforts, and certainly Hopesmeade was not capable of downing such a creature. |
|
Week - 632
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "How long have you known I was here?" Clayton asked Kanrik once they were a distance away.
"You? Since I spotted you hiding in that cave with Hannah and Armin," Kanrik chuckled. |
|
Week - 633
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton meanwhile made his way further into town - if there was one place he would find information on the Black Pawkeet, it was the Rusty Dubloon. |
|
Week - 635
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "You mentioned a seeress, Isca, wasn't it?" Hopesmeade asked. |
|
Week - 636
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Drenched came out to meet him, the three Faeries easily surrounding him.
"Look, sister!" one of them laughed. "Another pretty toy for us to play with!" |
|
Week - 637
Agent of the Sway: Restoration - Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton had managed to find a cargo hold with a porthole, so he could tell when the Revenge was approaching the location of New Maraqua... |
|
Week - 634
Auction of Evil
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Castle Nox had let to divulge its deepest secrets. Rooms that did not appear on the plans still held their treasures. Dark treasures. |
|
Week - 638
The Oracle Games - Who to Back?
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you'll have heard about one of the two events currently running in Neopia - the Oracle Games. |

|
Week - 640
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Crokabek flew low over the desert, skimming over the dunes, eyes fixed on a target in the distant sandy haze. Two Neopets, slowly moving towards a ruin. |
|
Week - 641
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Temple of One Thousand Tombs was not that far from the ruins of Qasala, really. The main body of the building was buried in the sand, with only the temple's entrance on the surface. A bored looking Ruki eyed Clayton suspiciously as he approached, but said nothing as he stepped inside... |
|
Week - 642
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Hopesmeade pulled the tent flap to one side, letting himself in. The Kau fortune teller was waiting, perched behind her crystal ball. |
|
Week - 643
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Not long after Nabile arrived, the day the Sway had been waiting for had arrived. Hopesmeade had been expecting it... |
|
Week - 644
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Who are you?" the Darkest Faerie asked.
"You don't know me," the Duchess said. "Nor will you. But I know a great deal about you." |
|
Week - 645
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Lady Falmouth was forced back, her sword clattering to the floor. "You fools!" she spat... |
|
Week - 646
Agent of the Sway: Discovery - Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "I'm working with Finneus to help undo this magic," Hopesmeade quickly lied. "I'm a visitor from Neopia Central." |
|
Week - 648
Agent of the Sway: Recovery - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Another land had been added to the map. Gradually, the corners were being filled in by unseen hands. |
|
Week - 649
Agent of the Sway: Recovery - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton read through the documents he had been supplied with as the carriage made its way to the Haunted Woods. Neovia, it seemed, had once been a relatively peaceful and normal town... |
|
Week - 650
Agent of the Sway: Recovery - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton didn't follow the trio on their trek to Ilere's lair; he didn't want to run the risk of the Faerie discovering Sway involvement. |
|
Week - 651
Agent of the Sway: Recovery - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Lady Falmouth rushed along the pink corridors of the Faerieland castle. It was unusual for the white Xweetok to be summoned with such immediacy - the Queen must have had good reason to call on her. |
|
Week - 652
Agent of the Sway: Recovery - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "You are lucky Master Alshemar was out," she said. "If he had caught you, fireballs would be the least of your troubles." |
|
Week - 654

by herdygerdy |

Week - 655
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part One
by herdygerdy |

|
Week - 656
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: A few days into the voyage, Clayton was surprised to see a visitor in his little cargo hold. "I know you're in here somewhere," the little JubJub said... |
|
Week - 657
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Well?" he asked. "I trust you went into Sloth's lab after we lured the creature away?" |
|
Week - 658
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "I'm looking for a certain Cybunny," she answered. "The master is very... anxious that she be found." |
|
Week - 659
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "I represent a group with certain... interests," Clayton said. "Once upon a time, that interest was the destruction of Sloth's fleet." |
|
Week - 660
Agent of the Sway: Resistance - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton found the Duchess by the piers in the Docklands of Neopia Central, looking out to sea and the cargo vessels coming in from Shenkuu. |

|
Week - 662
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton Moore had to be careful. He was, after all, a member of the Sway. And Faerieland was the domain of their enemy. |
|
Week - 664
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Considering the Faerieland Academy was home to some of the most magically skilled Faeries and Neopets on the planet, it was surprisingly easy to break into... |
|
Week - 665
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Mistress Quizara," the white Xweetok greeted her. "A pleasure to finally meet you." |
|
Week - 666
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Quizara's downfall followed quite quickly after Clayton and Knight fled Faerieland. The Sway agents freeing Faeries across the planet broke the lock on the castle's gate, allowing Falmouth to storm the palace and free the Queen... |
|
Week - 667
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "They have to reach Terror Mountain in one piece. Just... Try to do it without us getting shot down, yes?" |
|
Week - 669
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Six
by herdygerdy |

|
Week - 670
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "It is the same all over Faerieland, Jackson," she told him. "The Queen, and all the Faeries, have been turned to stone..." |
|
Week - 671
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Commander," Altador said with a nod. "I'm glad you got here so soon. We're dealing with a magical enemy similar to the minions of the Darkest Faerie. Multiple forms, unknown numbers, unknown source." |
|
Week - 672
Agent of the Sway: Departure - Part Nine
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Acceptable damage," the Duchess replied.
"You gave me your word!" Clayton said. |
|
Week - 663
The Black Archive
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Hubert Farbottom was a celebrated librarian. Though of course, in a kingdom like Brightvale, pretty much every librarian was celebrated to some degree. |
|
Week - 668
Alumni
by herdygerdy |
| Description: It is a fact widely acknowledged that Brightvale is one of the smartest places on the face of Neopia, and even beyond. |
|
Week - 674
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Clayton Moore was currently enjoying his cell, and had been for a number of days since his arrest. |
|
Week - 675
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Falmouth gave a little sigh. "Might I point out that you are travelling with a Faerieland Knight, not a fugitive?" she said. "You don't need to sneak about all the time." |
|
Week - 677
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "We'll be needing the Seekers as well, if we really want to get the Sway interested. No one can whip up a storm of public interest like the Seekers - they can't help but shout about their discoveries." |
|
Week - 678
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Neopia Central was a den of iniquity. |
|
Week - 679
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Terror Mountain was as cold and frigid as Clayton remembered. He'd been there many times, and he couldn't say he enjoyed any of the visits entirely. |
|
Week - 680
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The scorching heat of the Tyrannian plain had roasted Falmouth and Clayton long ago. The hours passed as they trudged along... |
|
Week - 681
Agent of the Sway: Rogue - Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "Destroy her!" the Duchess shouted with uncharacteristic emotion. "It must be a trick! Do whatever you must!" |
|
Week - 676
Paradox
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Even by the standards of dark nights, that one was dark. There weren't even stars to see by, just a blanket of cloud blocking out all light. |
|
Week - 683
The Fire Within: Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: "I thought you would be more affected," the Yurble muttered, holding on to the cafe table to try and steady his spinning head. "You people don't even go above ground all that often." |
|
Week - 684
The Fire Within: Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The smell of acrid smoke filled Moltara City, lying there, stagnant and choking. Yardley had experienced the pollution of cities like Neopia Central, but Moltara was something else. |
|
Week - 685
The Fire Within: Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Font was what they called the largest of the settlements in the Moltaran Caverns. |
|
Week - 686
The Fire Within: Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: They set out on foot that evening, or at least Yardly thought it was evening - time seemed harder to judge in the caverns with no sun, moon, or stars to follow. |
|
Week - 687
The Fire Within: Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: They arrived at the Shining Chasm that evening, as far as Yardly could tell in the timeless dark of the caverns. The tunnel had widened out slightly, giving way to a solid wall of what looked like white marble. A door appeared to be carved into the rock, closed fast, with what looked like Maraquan symbols carved around it. |
|
Week - 688
The Fire Within: Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Hariq, as it transpired, was very far off the beaten track. So far that it, unlike the Shining Chasm, didn't have a name in the common tongue. Hariq was the ancient Moltaran word for exploding, violent fire. |
|
Week - 689
The Fire Within: Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: “I intend to destroy Moltara City, the surface lands, even the space station and above. All the way to the top if I must. The purity of the core must be kept.” |
|
Week - 690
The Fire Within: Part Eight
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Yardly returned to the Font alone, though Marbelle and her soldiers were waiting, hidden, in the tunnels beyond. Waiting for Yardly's signal. Waiting to storm their birthplace. The plan was simple. Yardly would go in and eliminate Igneot. Then he would signal the others to follow. It was a ludicrously stupid plan, of course, and Yardly knew this. |
|
Week - 691
The Fire Within: Part Nine
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Only a few hours after Yardly emerged from the Magma Pool, Marbelle decided it was time to storm Moltara City. Unlike the Font, which had multiple access tunnels, there was only one route to the city. The longer Andesite had to warn the Mayor of Marbelle's attack, the more heavily fortified the bottleneck would become. |
|
Week - 692
The Fire Within: Part Ten
by herdygerdy |
| Description: There’s a curious fact about revolutions. They all go well until it seems like you’d be better without the people in charge of them. |
|
Week - 694
A Stranger Tale of Goldrun: Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Halloween Bori sprinkled a few herbs into the camp fire that made it flare and change colour to an acid green that illuminated the bright face paints smeared across the creature's skull. The Bori stood up, grasping a gnarled staff in his hands, and began to chant as he slowly danced around the fire. Local Petpets stopped in their nocturnal business to watch and listen, and above them even the desert stars seemed to be waiting, as if the Bori's actions were important. |
|
Week - 695
A Stranger Tale of Goldrun: Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Stranger took the old Aisha's advice not long after finishing his drink. The saloon had seemed welcoming enough, but the stare from Holly made it clear that he should either buy another drink or leave. In order to do that, he would need Neopoints, and for that he'd need to speak with the sheriff. |
|
Week - 696
A Stranger Tale of Goldrun: Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Stranger opened the door to the Sheriff’s office and threw Mad Warf roughly inside. The Cybunny had been bound and gagged. “Well, that was quick,” Victor remarked from the desk as he checked his watch. “I only sent you out two hours ago.” |
|
Week - 697
A Stranger Tale of Goldrun: Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: “Ellie!” Desert Flower said. “We’ve been waiting to speak with you.” “About a shaman, yes?” Ellie said. “Victor's already told me. But I'm afraid we’ve seen no Boris by that description. We’ll keep our eyes out, of course, but we have bigger fish to fry at the moment, Desert Flower.” |
|
Week - 701
Aid from the Order
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Deep in the twisting depths of the Haunted Woods, that was where the wizards made their home. The Order of the Red Erisim they called themselves. Wizards and witches of the greatest repute and power were selected for membership. Between them, they commanded the greatest magic on the planet. |
|
Week - 702
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part One
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Halfcastle Forge was that most curious of border towns. Neither here, nor there, and certainly of no real importance. Not quite in the Endless Plains. Certainly not part of the Haunted Woods. And not on a major trade route. The town, if you could even call it a town, had only one real claim to fame - being on the Demonica River. |
|
Week - 703
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Peter was eight. Which was an exceptionally important age, because all things are exceptionally important when you are eight. What you are eating for dinner, what colour your new shoes are going to be, and what is over the next hill. All pale into insignificance next to each other. The moment, that is what you live for. |
|
Week - 704
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Old Annie ate her supper in front of the neovision set every evening. One of her granddaughters came round to make it for her, that night it was Valerie. She was a good, dutiful girl in her mid-twenties. Once Annie had finished her meal Valerie cleaned the dishes and then said goodnight. The younger Cybunny kissed the elder lightly on the forehead and then was away into the night. |
|
Week - 705
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Annie had long loved her little cottage. Not just the insides, but its position as well. From her perch in her armchair she had a perfect view out her window to the county field. When her knees had begun to fail and she’d been unable to visit the faire any longer her window had allowed her to keep living the experience through others. Year after year she watched the lines of people heading in, and heard their whoops and cries of joy. |
|
Week - 706
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Five
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Peter was of course an eight year old, as I think we’ve mentioned before. At such an age there can be only one reaction when you are caught somewhere you aren't supposed to be - run. |
|
Week - 707
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Six
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Carnival folk and townspeople were against them, but Mary and Charlie were small and fast, and the collapse of the Big Top had taken much of the field’s lighting down with it. The darkness was a shield. Peter, seizing an opportunity with the confusion, kicked Esther Fastbelly very firmly in the shin and made his own escape. |
|
Week - 708
Mr. Aramate's Wonderous Emporium of the Soul: Part Seven
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Peter ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. The path back to the town had been blocked by angry townsfolk, and after Esther Fastbelly’s reaction, the little Gelert wasn’t in a rush to encounter any more of them. |
|
Week - 843
Petpetpet Wars
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Wars rage across the face of Neopia every day. The pirates raid the city of Maraqua, while the forces of Darigan and Meridell clash with the hollow ring of steel upon steel. High in the skies above Neopia, the armies of the Resistance and Dr. Sloth duel on a daily basis. |
|
Week - 844
Petpetpet Wars:Part Two
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The weeks passed, as they had the tendency to do. The march of war continued at the same old pace, and Captain Finnegan was almost in a dream. |
|
Week - 845
Petpetpet Wars:Part Three
by herdygerdy |
| Description: The Crokabek soared through the night sky, the black feathers camouflaging it against the endless dark above. Dozens of Mootix squadrons were nestled between the feathers. |
|
Week - 846
Petpetpet Wars:Part Four
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Captain Finnegan saw the smoke on the horizon long before the airbase came into view. The remains of the barracks and the air control tower smouldered in the early afternoon sun. |
|
Week - 847

The Book of the Twelve
by herdygerdy |
| Description: Before Meridell, before Altador. Before any and all of modern Neopia, there was the Great Empire. Ruled by twelve ancient and powerful wizards, the like of which have not been seen since, they united Ancient Neopia under a single banner and ushered in generations of peace and prosperity. Their dazzling heights were only matched by their fateful end, for the Circle of Twelve were corrupted from within, and tore apart the civilisation they had formed to protect. From the ruins of this shattered world, King Altador emerged to found his new Empire. But the legends of the Great Empire still live on today. |
