Disgruntled Guardian

by averyangryshaylir

Myyth took a large bite out of his flaming fire faerie pizza as he took a seat at the table with the rest of his siblings. The large fire Eyrie made himself comfortable as he set his pizza down to open up his can of Neocola. Darkwise, Myyth’s brother, smiled smugly as he set down his own slice of broccoli and cheese pizza.

     “I see the world still isn’t under your power, eh brother?” The pirate Krawk commented as he jerked his thumb toward the window, pointing out that Neopia was still a very free place without any sort of ruler at all. You see, Myyth wasn’t your average Eyrie or Neopet for that matter, he had strange mage powers with unknown origins and he wanted to use those powers to take over Neopia. Darkwise, on the other hand, was just a sarcastic bully.

     “Neopia Domination takes time Darkwise, It won’t happen over night, but I will be the ruler of Neopia soon enough. You’ll see," Myyth said with a plain scowl painted on his beak as he took a sip of Neocola. He exchanged glances with his sister Shaeylan, she merely shrugged and turned to Darkwise.

     “I wouldn’t underestimate Myyth, Darkwise. He’s quite capable of what he says. Trust me. I would know," Shaeylan, a baby Blumaroo, said with a curt nod of her head as she finished off her pizza and brought it to the sink to clean it off.

     Darkwise only shook his head in disbelief. I have some real weirdos for siblings... he thought to himself as he also finished off his pizza. He was about to just leave his dirty plate on the table for his sister or keeper to pick up when the door flew open.

     In the doorway was their keeper, Shaylir, with an armload of items she had gotten in the Magic and Food Shops. To all three of the pets surprise, she was not alone. A Faerie Kau was with her standing boldly at her side, and giving curious glances in Myyth’s direction.

     The three reactions from the pets varied. Darkwise slapped his forehead and muttered, “Not another psycho...”. Myyth merely shrugged, and could have cared less, she was just another minion for him to control...at least that’s what he thought. Shaeylan’s jaw dropped, she was terribly excited, she had always wanted a sister or she assumed that this Kau was going to be her sister. Why else would Shaylir have brought her home?

     “Hey guys, This is ForgottenRhapsody...Rhapsody for short. She’s your new sister. Found her wandering around, she said she wanted a new home...so I offered her one here. Make her feel, welcome. Please, Don’t scare her off," Shaylir said briskly as she began to unpack her bags.

     “Please say you’re not a psycho like Myyth...please, PLEASE tell me you’re not a weirdo," Darkwise pleaded in a mocking tone as his tail swished slowly back and forth, sizing the other pet up.

     “Nah, I’m not a weirdo, at least I don’t think so. Just your average pet I ‘spose," Rhapsody said we a shrug, which was far from the truth. The Faerie Kau was really a Faerie, a Chaos Faerie to be precise, in disguise. She had been sent by Fyora herself to keep an eye on Myyth and make sure he didn’t get into any trouble, and didn’t actually conquer Neopia. It was her job to keep the diabolical Eyrie in line.

     “Umm, Yeah, Welcome to our humble abode. Well, Gotta go," Myyth said quickly before leaping off his chair and heading towards the stairwell in the hallway.

     “Greetings Rhapsody. I’m Shaeylan. That was Myyth, Don’t mind him, he’s just easily distracted. And Darkwise, the Krawk, is just a big jerk. I’LL show you around the house," Shaeylan stated, smiling shyly up at her new sister. She knew that Myyth was expecting her to follow him, she was his assistant, but she didn’t quite feel like working in the secret lair with Myyth that night. She was more interested in getting to know her new sister.

     “All righty, Thanks Shaey, Can I call you that?” Rhapsody asked with a slight chuckle as she trotted towards the baby Blumaroo, her hooves making a clopping sound on their tiled kitchen floor.

     “Sure you can!” Shaeylan replied cheerfully, she’d never had a nickname before, neither of her brothers cared for her enough to give her one.

     Rhapsody only smiled. She was fitting in better then she expected.

***

Myyth sighed deeply as he entered his supposed “secret lair”. He couldn’t believe his one and only true follower, Shaeylan. She was his assistant, second-in-command. How could she just ditch their Neopian Domination plans for their new sister?

     Bah, Taking over Neopia is much more important then family! the Eyrie thought to himself as he flipped a switch to turn on his computer. This was where he kept all his top secret Neopia domination data.

     As he scanned through his files he wondered about his new sister for the first time. Hmm...It’s rather odd that a Faerie Kau just appeared out of nowhere asking Shaylir to take her in... he mulled this over for a bit until he finally found the file he wanted to work with. It was a blueprint for his latest project. “Myyth’s Magical Hair Gel," It would be revolutionary! Hair Gel that controlled Neopets minds and would force them to follow Myyth. He was about to begin work on it when he heard a series of thuds coming down the stairs.

     Ah, That must be Shaeylan, probably ready to help me by now, Myyth thought, a satisfied smile on his face, he was quite surprised when he saw that Rhapsody was with her.

     “Hello Myyth. Rhapsody was interested in checking out your lair. She said she may be able to help you a bit with your Neopia Domination.” Shaeylan grinned cheekily at her brother, she knew bringing him a follower would make him happy. Myyth blinked in mild shock. This was quite unexpected.

     “Hmm...Shaeylan, Where’s our keeper at the moment?” The faerie Kau asked suddenly, peering around to make sure she wasn’t in hearing range.

     “She went to take Darkwise to the training school...why do you ask?” Shaeylan replied, eyeing her sister curiously.

     “Because, There’s something I need to discuss with you two," Rhapsody said smugly as she approached Myyth who gave her an odd glance. “First off, I’m sorry I lied to you Shaey... I do not wish to help Myyth with his world domination plans but I needed to get into his lair. Second, I am not actually a Kau...but a Faerie in disguise. I was sent here to stop you Myyth. Your Neopia Domination plans will fail," the Chaos Faerie in disguise said with a slight smirk. You would expect Myyth‘s reaction to be negative, not at all.

     “Delightful! A hero... heroine to thwart my evil plans! This is wonderful! Now people will know I’m not a pushover when I can get passed an actual Heroine and take over Neopia! This is just like my favourite super villain stories!” Myyth exclaimed happily, clapping his claws together.

     “Err, well... that wasn’t what I expected," Rhapsody said with a raise of her eyebrow, as she turned to Shaeylan. “Is he always like this?”

“Of course, I suppose you could say Myyth is a bit...different. He doesn’t want things easy on him, in fact, he wants them as difficult as possible,” the Baby Blumaroo said with a chuckle.

     “This is going to be quite the family, isn’t it? Me trying to stop a villain who wants me to try and stop him... oy vey," Rhapsody said with a shake of her head, her job was going to be harder then she thought.
