Quote of the Week


When I look out over the vastness of the Lost Desert, it is so easy to feel small and insignificant, as unimportant as a single grain of sand. But... but the beauty of it is that I am just like a single grain of sand. And so are you and so are you and so are we all. Put us all together and we are an awesome force of nature: grains of sand combine to make the building blocks of kingdoms, or when let loose, can swallow those same kingdoms whole.


Preventing Petrification



Could we have avoided this dreadful event? Have we become too complacent under the faeries' rule? What can we, as fellow lovers of not being turned into stone, do to prevent this from happening again?

Pumpkin Treats!



During the month of October, we get prepared for a wonderful festive season that involves treats, spices, decorating, costumes, and of course pumpkins! Pumpkins have many uses, especially during October.

Consider ten of Neopia's most annoying faeries; I don't think anyone could have anticipated how great a Neopia without faeries would be...

"Chin up, little one." Ned smiled encouragingly, ignoring the squelching sound as he put his arm around Lavender's shoulders. "It's not so bad in here.

"The Healer" by atarenya
Stillness. All was quiet, for once. There should have been faeries flying here and there.

"The Start of Something Sinister..." by pippin_me
I was merely a student at the local neoschool in Neopia Central. I was popular. I know that's not usually how these stories start, but this is mine. Everyone enjoyed being my friend.
