~The faerie ixi flutters about on her shimmering, iradecant wings. She has a friendly air as she makes motions for you to follow her closer to the pond where a myriad of tiny glowing faeries cavort and play.~
I know, we were hard to find for awhile, but there is a good explanation for that... the pond apparently had vanished for some time.
It's a bit of a story, and if you have the time I can tell it, but any good story should start from the begining.
~*~ The Sylvan Forest ~*~
 | I wasn't always a faerie, but once my pelt was a lovely forest green.
I lived in Meridell But one day followed a luring tune played on pan pipes. |
| It was being played by a large hirsute man with the legs and horns of a goat. There was a feeling of power and faerie wonder about him as I began to frolick and dance after him throughout the entire night in an uncontrolled revel. |  |
| After collapsing from exaustion I awoke the next morning with the satyr petting my head. I looked about in wonder as tiny faeries flitted through the trees. He told me to take good care of this, the Sylvan Forest and all of it's inhabitants. It was then that he was gone in the blink of an eye. I have lived here ever since. |  |
That wasn't the last time I saw the satyr.
~*~ The Faerie Pond ~*~
 | I had been living in this forest for over a year before I happened upon the site where the faeries liked to meet and play.
It had taken me that long to gain thier trust, and to be allowed to learn the secrets of the Faerie Pond. |
| I now watch over these faeries as they frolick amongst the water and cattails.
But these are special faeries who sometimes follows a pet home. If you approach them carefully one may follow you as well. |

Rules of the Faeries
Name your Faerie
Keep the link to her home
Don't use her for any other purpose
(eg. BC, gallery)
Do not alter her apperance
(The faeries can be vain) |
Eg. The Faerie Pond faeries are not to be used in the gallery, or the Beauty Contest. The images are not to be altered in any way. Please leave the link back to the Faerie Pond.
Every now and then other types of faeries show up during special occations. |
Bonded Faeries
You may have noticed a few 'very special' faeries around Neopia, ones that seem to resemble the pets they followed home. These are called Bonded Faeries and they are very special faeries indeed.
 | It is only on rare occation that such a faerie comes forth from the depths of the pond, and it is met with much rejoycing and song by the local fey.
These bonded faeries are meant to only be with the one they resemble.|
|
(Ie. They are special trades, they are meant ONLY for the pet they were created for... using them without permission of both myself and the pet's owner will result in your being reported, and possibly frozen.)
~*~ Faerie Transformation ~*~
About two and a half years after I found this faerie forest the satyr returned. He offered to turn me into a faerie in exchange for a favor... to stay in his realm until the end of spring.
How could I resist?
It sounded fair enough. How I became faerie is a secret, but I can tell you that I used the pond, emerging from it as a fey creature with a bonded faerie all of my own! |  |
My pelt was a lovely lavender with powder blue frog-like spots upon my legs. My horns swept back like a satyr's, and my new transparent wings shimmered as they fluttered to dry in the sunlight.
~*~ Abduction ~*~
Before I could blink the satyr scooped me up into his arms, dove head-long into the pond, and we emerged in his realm.
 | What wonders my eyes beheld! The land was beautiful, the trees in the full bloom of spring, blossoms dotted the grassy landscape, tiny faeries fluttered about as females of nearly all species danced and sang in joyful revelry.
It wasn't long before I realised that this was a realm of eternal spring, the season would never end, and by my oath I could never leave. |
What had I gotten myself into?
~*~ Irises and Ixis ~*~
Had I mentioned Silence yet? No? Silly me, how could I forget him?
Accept_the_Silence, or Silence, is this quiet, contemplative, serious, winged, elvish ixi. Through contacts he came to visit me in the Sylvan Forest, and I had gotten us into much more trouble then usual.
He does have a playful side though, if you know how to pull his strings just right... like I do.
Nearly immediately after my being whisked away to the satyr's realm, Silence tracked me there and dove into my rescue... literally.
Then with determination he approached the satyr and demanded my realease, but it was useless as I had sworn an oath, and now being a faerie creature my oath was my bond, I couldn't break it.
 | The satyr seemed impressed and offered Silence a sporting chance to win me back... come the dawn I would be turned into an iris, and he would have but one chance to pick me from a garden of irises. |
Throughout the night we played in the realm of eternal spring, trying to take in every moment that we could, as we would probably never see each other again come the dawn.
We awoke wet with the morning dew, and went to meet the satyr for his game.
It was but a moment before I felt my roots in the nurishing earth, and my lavender petals reaching for the life giving sunlight.
I could feel the tremor in the ground as Silence's hooves gently walked upon the soil, searching for me. |  |
 | After a moment of looking, his sharp eyes noticed that one iris had not been kissed by the morning dew, for it had joined the garden after the dawn. Carefully, Silence plucked me from the earth, as I felt myself shift back into my true form. True to his word the satyr freed me from my oath, and Silence and I were free to race back to the pond which led me back home. |
I had only been gone one day, and the entire forest had turned into summer during my absence.
They say that time runs differently in faerie realms, and I was pleased that it had only been two seasons, and not years since I had left.
~*~ The Forests and Borderlands ~*~
So now I am happily back home in the Sylvan Forest. But in case you didn't know there are other faerie forests that I have found around Neopia.
Let me tell you a bit about the other borderlands, but be warned, not all faeries are as plesant as the ones found in Sylvan.
Note
Many faeries are sometimes called Seelie or Unseelie, these are ancient fey terms for the two main types of faeries and/or thier courts in faerieland.
The seelie fey tend to be honorable, just and couragous. Typically they value truth, courage, beauty, justice, and chivalry as highly important.
The unseelie fey tend to be chaotic and impuslive. Typically they are free-thinkers, breakers of old rules and advocates of change. |
The Faerie Circle is actually inside of Sylvan forest and is a place where the twin faerie princess draiks Aaraendorlia and Aduialendorlia dwell.
~*~*~*~
Samhain Forest is a dark woods filled with goblins. It is said that Queen_Tasmiras dark, unseelie sister Queen_Azamoth lives.
I would suggest steering clear of it's borders.
~*~*~*~
Yule Forest is a land of eternal winter celebration. A place of snow drifts, frost faeries, holly and lights.
~*~*~*~
LightBeam Forest glows brightly with the many small forms of light faeries that frequent this realm. A place of benevolance and joy.
~*~*~*~
SacredFlame Forest burns brightly with fire faeries and pyromaniac mischief makers. This place is neither strongly seelie or unseelie, so I would suggest being wary.
~*~*~*~
Ithil Forest is centered around a large stone castle covered of leaves and stone. I don't know much about this borderland forest yet, as I have to explore it's boundaries more thuroghly.

| I have a very special faerie named Syrinx. I named her after an ixi who once lived in the forest with me, it is also the proper name of pan pipes.
She not only is my bonded faerie, but also is my petpet.

~*~ Love ~*~
Do I actually have to admit to this?
Well, there is somebody... I think. But Silence is so quiet and reserved that it's difficult to tell what he's thinking.
What can I say? He's heroic, protective, handsome but very very guarded. I suppose that I will have to play it coy until I know what is happening.

~*~ Friends ~*~
I used to have many friends, but over time I lost track of more then a few of them.
Accept_the_Silence is a white furred, winged, elvish ixi who can be quite serious. I know how to pull his strings and make him loosen up a little though.
Feepixi, or Feeps, is an odd feepit/ixi cross. I used to wonder how that could be until she told me the story of how she was created in Jhudiah's cooking pot!
Now that is interesting!
She's tons of fun, chaotic, wild, and I enjoy her company ever so much!
Amarno recently found the forest, and is some type of obsessed, faerie hunter. Erm, I don't mean hunt hunter, but somebody who spends thier time trying to catch a glimpse of a faerie.
~*~ Spotlight! ~*~
Did you know that an older page of mine won the Site Spotlight? You can see where I won it here. But since it was an older page, it's not up anymore. If you want to see the original winning page, you can see it at...

~*~ Speical Thanks ~*~
(*sighs* With a glitch I lost Nymph's old page along with the list of donators who helped her become faerie.
You all know who you are, and I appreciate your help so very much, thank you.)
Another very special thanks to Mirrorsecrets2 who is a dear friend, and who's fan art inspired the new blog image of Nymph that is up right now.
~*~ Farewell ~*~
Goodbye, faerwell, I hope to see you around the Faerie Pond again sometime!
