Welcome to my chamber, young visitor. Not many choose to dwell upon these desolate lands, unless they have a purpose or destination in mind. Perhaps you seek something? What can I do for you, guest? Is there a sickness you need cured? A land you need repaired? A broken heart needed to be put whole? Or... ahh.. perhaps you have come to hear my tale. You see, I was not always as I am now. I was once a fair princess of Ellesair. That may seem noble to you, but I was not a noble princess. I was not one for crowns and jewels and ancient thrones. Sometimes, life pulls us in another direction. Sometimes, there is a different path that we must follow. Sometimes, destiny has a bigger and much more magnificent fate in store for us.

My story may not be the heart-jerking ballads of love and loss that the bards sing through the streets of Neopia. But my story serves as a message. It is a tale that can penetrate the soul of any Neopet and Neopian. It is a guide: a guide that informs us of a greater purpose and plan in this world. It reminds us that each and every one of us has a special, and noteworthy place.

I'm sorry, I do tend to ramble a bit. Enough with introductions and theses. Please, do sit down and I shall properly begin.

Sometimes we think that we're happy and content in the universe. We think that because our parents and friends and neighbors walked down one path, we must follow in their very footsteps. We must brush the same blades of grass, and rest under the same oak trees. There was a time when I believed this to be true.

My parents were the king and queen of Ellesair. Ellesair is a place of beauty, of majesty, and of preservation. It is a small, remote little nook of a kingdom, not even on the most detailed maps of Neopia. Its forests are bustling with Kougras and Lupes, its ponds occupied with Koi and Flotsams, and its skies soaring with Lennies and Pteris. The kingdom is very undeveloped, and rather than Neopets living in sturdy wooden or stone houses, they live among the earth. Neopets find home in cozy fallen hollow trees, or colourful beds of coral, or soft nests high up in the trees.

There are no seasons in Ellesair, for the kingdom is preserved in its spring state. Every day is a clear sunny day with a cloudless baby blue sky and glistening blades of green grass that sway ever so slightly in the quiet breeze. It is undoubtedly a gorgeous place.

As I was saying, my parents were the king and queen of this fair land and I, their only daughter, was the princess. My childhood is not of much importance: I played in the lush fields with my Aisha and Cybunny friends and swam in the clear, blue waters with Quiggles and Jetsams. But my story really starts, when I reached my teenage years.

When your parents are the king and queen of any kingdom - even one as graceful and calm as Ellesair - your carefree days will come to quick end, like a calm river reaching an unexpected and never ending waterfall. Once you tumble over the edge, there is no way to climb back up again. I suppose here the phrase "ignorance is bliss" is appropriate. Once you are exposed to the hardships and even drama in ruling a kingdom, your mind becomes poisoned with the idea that there is evil in this world: evil that you cannot escape.

Over the next few months, my parents began teaching me about ruling Ellesair. I grew up believing that Ellesair was perfect. That belief was about to change. Ellesair was not perfect, it only looked like it was. What nobody knew was that my parents kept all the dangers and evils from entering Ellesair. That was the king and queen's job. My parents believed that wrapping a protective bubble of ignorance around the kingdom, by means of a few enchantments, was the way to protect the people of Ellesair. Although that idea certainly "rubbed me the wrong way," to use a modern term, I felt that it was my duty, as the only princess, to accept whatever rules and guidelines my parents laid before me.

A few months later, my parents died. There is no evil force that entered Ellesair and destroyed the kingdom, destroying my parents in the process and leaving them to die in each others' arms. My parents simply died of old age. It was their time. There was plenty of grieving, but no thrilling drama to go along with it. But with grief over their deaths, came responsibility. That same day, I was crowned queen of Ellesair.

Putting aside the fact that my parents had just died, I was not excited about being queen and at the time, I couldn't quite figure out why. Isn't it every girl's dream to bathe in long silky gowns, and have braids embedded with gems and jewels cascade down her back, and have elegant ancient thrones carved out of gold to rest in, and have servants and maids to wait on her?

At the end of my official first day of being queen, I had to reinforce the enchanted barriers that drove all the evils in the world away from the kingdom of Ellesair. For the first time, I grasped my mother's ancient staff in my hesitant hand. It was cold to the touch. The golden shaft was engraved with intricate ancient markings, none of which I could read, as the language of Ellesair had since changed and evolved. The orb at the top of the shaft was by far the most interesting aspect of the magical staff. It was a deep, blue colour, with curious swirls of lighter blue and yellow. It seemed to have the depth of an ocean, rather than a foggy, hollow orb.

Pulling my mind away from the dream-like state that it had been cast into, I walked out into the dark midnight air, staff grasped loosely in hand. I walked until I reached the borders of our kingdom. With the new authority of Queen of Ellesair, I now had the eyes to see past the foggy walls of ignorance. Outside of a thin shield, was the unguarded world. I was stunned by the loom of chaos in the outside world. Hearts were being broken, lives were being shattered, dark clouds rolled onto the canvas of the world like spilled grey paint, lightning flashed overhead and instilled fear into the hearts of children. Lost in this outside world of despair, I didn't notice as the walls of ignorance began to crumble. But as the elements of evil came more and more into focus, I began to realize that the shield was fading. With a sudden sense of urgency, I tried to raise the staff above my head to quickly cast the enchantments, but fumbled with it and watched it crash to the ground. Without the protection of the ancient staff, I became vulnerable.

Darkness, which was now sweeping across the lands of Ellesair like a plague, took me. I lost all sense of direction, time and feeling as a beam of lightning flashed overhead. The rod's tendrils wrapped around me like a spider web, filling me with a new sense of knowledge and understanding. It was the same knowledge that my parents had thrust upon me, but in a new light and from a new perspective. Although I had become surrounded by this new knowledge, I had no sense of self. I had no understanding of whether I was dead or alive, if I even existed, or what I even was - if anything at all. The knowledge was like a plant with no predators: growing over every part of my being, burying my identity and awareness.

What could have been seconds, days, months, years or centuries later, I felt life in me again. The powerful bolts of energy and knowledge that had once covered my entire outer shell began to move inward, penetrating my very soul like an injection of truth. My heart burned, as if it was in flames. It burned with a new purpose and new meaning. As this force of knowledge moved inward, breathing new life into my body, my sense of self began to grow and spread, regaining its former place within my mind. This sense of self kept me sane and reassured me that this lack of physical understanding would soon make sense and reveal its purpose.

Suddenly, I felt my eyes flutter. My fingers gently twitched as my nerves found their place in my new body. I opened my eyes wide, and let them focus in on my new surroundings. For a while, all I could see was black. I was laying on my back against the barren earth, gazing up at the cloud-filled sky above me. A thick blanket of grey hovered between the heavens and the earth, blocking out any rays of sunshine that dare attempt to shine down on Neopia. As I became more and more aware of my physical surroundings, I realized that I was cold.

I stood up and gazed around at the landscape before me. Although it was unrecognizable to me, something within my senses told me that it was Ellesair. Trees were broken and uprooted, birds avoided the sky as if sensing an approaching storm, Neopets quivered and shook in the cold and huddled together for warmth and comfort, branches and twigs lay scattered across the once clean and perfect field. The rolling hills seemed much taller than they used to be and between them, new ponds had formed. I knew that it had to be thousands of years later. For centuries, the people of Ellesair had been suffering! And under my reign! And because of my carelessness!

A sudden sparkle of gold caught my eye and I remembered the ancient staff. I looked down, and it was laying on the ground beside my feet. I figured that I could reinstate the enchantments of ignorance and repair the damages done onto Ellesair! I hastily picked up the staff and racked my brain for the incantations.. but for the life of me, I could not grasp the words. As the realization of failure hit me, the heavy bricks of guilt crashed down upon me, like new weights that I would have to carry around for eternity.

Before I could fully succumb to the feelings of guilt and grief, a tiny voice sounded inside my head, barely audible at first, but gaining strength. The new knowledge that had first touched me centuries ago began to surface. I had known all along that blissful ignorance doesn't last. I had witnessed it with the passing of my carefree childhood days. There is no turning back once the ignorance is penetrated, which was why the incantations had been erased from my memory. I was meant to find another way.

With newfound determination and strength, I gritted my teeth and pointed my the ancient staff toward the heavens. With the strength and wisdom of ages ringing out through my voice, I began to speak a new set of enchantments: words that had never before slipped off the tongue of a Neopet. They were not shielding words of ignorance, like the ones my parents had told me, but words of healing. Ignorance may be blissful and drive away the evils of the world, but without terror and chaos, there can be no true happiness and calm. There can be no compassion or undying love. With ignorance, there is only a numb, unfeeling aura spread across the lives of worry-less robots. As much as we would love to live without evil, it isn't until you've seen it with your own eyes that you can truly comprehend evil's opposite. The life that was once filled with blissful ignorance, no longer felt like a dreamland. With evil in comparison, my heart was given a whole new space to imagine love.

As the words I spoke echoed across the land, the dark clouds began to spiral downward toward my staff. My staff acted as a vacuum, sucking in all the darkness and chaos in the world. It healed broken hearts and gave them the capacity to love again, it repaired damaged land and enabled the broken grass to grow longer and greener blades, and enabled the trees to grow and stretch higher and higher into the heavens. Although the land and Neopets were healed, their pain and loss was not forgotten.

Satisfied with my work, I turned my back on Ellesair and gazed out onto the never-ending land of Neopia. There would be other lands to heal and other hearts to mend. There is an entire world of evil that has plagued the hearts of Neopets for centuries upon centuries. But this time, I would be there to make it right. Neopia would be ignored no longer.
