Cryptholder got their homepage at Neopets.com

.Intro.

Good day. I suppose you're wondering how you've come across Limbo. I'll give you one guess..that's right. You're probably dead. Follow me. I'll take you to your final destination. I suppose the only question now is - have you been good or evil? Who am I? I am Cryptholder, an envoy to the next world. But you'll learn all about that, now won't you?

.My Story.

I lived much of my life in a medium sized herd called the Peophins of the Night. I was the herd stallion's son, twin to a fine filly, and brother to a younger sister. My entire childhood was spent in this herd, constantly living in fear of neighboring jetsams and worse - the corrupt faeries that had turned against us. Ironically, they believed we turned against them although our home had been destroyed by them with the help of the jetsams and some pirates. I spent the days playing with my twin sister in isolation of any other foals, as I was forbidden to leave the safety of the herd. One day many years later I wandered, breaking my father's rules. I had come into my rebellious stage and wished to defy him. I met a silver filly in dire need of protection. I brought her back to the herd and my father accepted her, and we quickly fell in love. Unfortunately for us, the faeries had found us, and attacked my twin, Cleotome. They nearly killed her, leaving her half alive. My love Kalarque and I rushed ashore, finding a dark faerie to heal her. She tried, but could not fully restore Cleo's health. Again, misfortune came our way as we learned that Kala was pregnant. Embarrassed and ashamed, we plotted to run away together before my father found out, but to our surprise he already knew and did not punish us. Soon after, my son and daughter were born, but my daughter died minutes after birth. My son grew to be a heavy nuisance, and I often pushed him away to be dealt with by someone else. I regret this descision as I could have been a part of his life, but chose not to. He was captured by the faeries to Kala's and my own horror, and brainwashed into helping them attack us. My father in a rage broke the spell controlling him, and he returned to us. In a fury the faeries once again attacked Cleo, this time taking her life. My parents were devestated, and my father left us in shame, leaving me to lead the herd in his absence. When he returned, we learned that a new foal was on the way - my little sister. She was different than us, purer in a way. It's a shame how short her life was, for my parents challenged the faeries and their peophin advisor, whose goal it was to rid the sea of "unclean" creatures. When my father awoke deep within the sea, his love and daughter were gone. I don't know if they're deceased or if they're captive, or simply missing, but in my opinion, they may as well be dead. My father could not handle their absence and left once again on a what was supposed to be permanent trip, but returned after a few months to my own herd, a recollection of former Peophin of the Night members. I grew sick of his attitude after a while and left the herd to him as he did not understand that he was no longer the leader. My love and son were chased off by my father's attitude after his loss, and I never forgave her for taking my only son with her when she knew I could have protected them both. I wished to seek my son and possibly be a part of his life, but could not find him. Instead, I found a former member of our herd, and began to flirt with her, and soon we had our own child. He's something special as he's inherited my father's magical mask, and may be the key to finally taking down the faeries. I lived in Meridell with Galaxia and Zheyden for a while before returning to the sea. It was then that my own life was taken from me by the same group of faeries that had killed Cleo. Insisting on clearing the sea of my mother Elin's direct kin, I was the last one left to knock off. I have to say I did not put up much of a fight as Cleo had - for there was not much for me to live for, opposed to Cleo and her entire life before her. However when I reached Limbo, they could not decide where I should go. I had not done good in my life, but no evil either. Instead they assigned me the job of an envoy, to lead lost souls into their next life. I suppose that is why you are here today.

.Envoying.

I have to say, I have not been an envoy for long but have caught on quickly. When I sense death is near, I will linger about until the soul crosses from the living world to this one. I then bring them here where they are taken to their destination by one of these two portals. If you try to enter the wrong one, it will close immediately and you will not be able to cross through. Then you must go to the other portal, and enter there. In my case, both portals closed before I could enter, and that is why I have been stuck here. I do not mind my job, although it is always disturbing to see a familiar face cross over. I only wish that I could have stayed and raised my second son, as I had a chance with him..I still go back there if souls are not calling and watch him and Galaxia when I can. They cannot see me, but I hope they can at least feel my presence..Now, shall we try the doors? Ah, farewell my friend. I am pleased to see you have been accepted into paradise.

.Friends and Family.

Dark_Kishou
My father. I have not much to say about him, although we grew apart towards the end of our relationship, I still remember him when I was a colt, him being a wise and loving father. Cleo and I used to love to play tag with him, and he always tolerated us. I should have been like this with my son..

Elinbia
My mother. She was a kind and loving mare, betrayed by the faeries. Sadly I do not remember much of her. I only remember her jet black body with firey red hair, crying over Cleo's death with her body in her arms. If she is alive, I wonder how she would react if she learned of my departure of this world as well.

Cleotome
My twin sister. She was always sassy and witty, always coming up with the best comebacks. The faeries went after her first, and succeeded in taking her from us. I hope to meet with her again if I ever make it past Limbo.

Lilly
My little sister. I wonder about her whereabouts. It is hard for me to believe she could be dead, because for such a little filly, she was extremely powerful. Perhaps she is still alive with my mother somewhere. I certainly hope so..

Xoaeir
My first-born son. I do believe he hates me, and I cannot blame him for I was a terrible father to him. If I had a second chance, things would be different. Alas, I cannot change the past.

Zheyden
To hear this name hurts me greatly, as I could have been the father to him I never was to Xo. I still go watch him when I can, and remember the last time I saw him as a living being, teaching him how to swim. He is too young to remember me, and as he grows, the memory of me will slip from his mind..if only I could speak to him one last time..

Kalarque
My first love. Many happy years we spent together, and shared the joy of Xoaeir between us. I sincerely wish it could have ended differently. Perhaps if I was less hard-headed, and she was less stubborn, we could have been together forever..

Galaxia
The mother of my youngest son. I do not know if I ever loved Galaxia the way I loved Kala, but every day she grew on me and I knew I loved her more as they passed. It is not fair - I'd give anything to live with them again..

.Art and Awards.

Of this I have neither..

.F.A.Q.

Q: Are your custom adoptables open?
A: No, not for now. The status appears on MysticalHorsesGuild's lookup. Neomail her when they open again with your peophin's name, a physical description, and a reference picture.

Q: Can my pet be an envoy too?
A: If they can't get through either door, that is probably what they will end up as. There is so much death it is difficult to do alone.

Q: Can your owner draw me ______?
A: I doubt it. She has enough on her plate right now. Don't be pestering her.

If you have more questions please refer to the F.A.Q. on Dark_Kishou's page.
