A lone lupess ran through the woodlands of brightvale, her paw steps landing gently on the coat of leaves that have begun to fall from the trees as winter quickly approached. The air was crisp and mildly chilly but not so cold that it prevented beads of sweat from falling down the lupess's beautiful, young face. The light maroon furred pet dashed between the trees looking scared and hurt. A crown on her head displayed a scarlet gemstone that sparkled in the evening light. She gasped for air and glanced backwards, as if she expects some one to burst through the trees any moment and catch her. Suddenly the lupess's foot snagged on a root and her body was flung forward, hitting the ground with a thud, and the lights went out…

The young lupess blinked a few times and sunlight flooded her eyes. Morning bird songs filled the air around her and the trees rustled as their occupants hopped from branch to branch. The pet's head began to thr*b and after a few minutes she scrambled to her feet. She looked confused and glanced around herself. Where was she? Why was she here? She tried to remember what she had been doing before she woke up, but the lupess's former life seemed like a blur. Only a few memories remained, flashing though her mind like they were yesterday.

She saw a very light purple lupess with a gold crown and necklace grinning at her and sneakily seizing an apple from a stand in a Brightvale marketplace. "Maudh, grab an orange…" She whispered. Maudh watched until the booth's owner had his back turned and took an orange as the lupess had suggested. She slid the fruit into her bag as the scene changed. Now Maudh stood with the same lupess on a hill overlooking Brightvale. A light breeze blew their fur and they giggled softly. The lupess stopped suddenly and took the crown on her head off very gingerly and handed it to Maudh. "Here. I don't think I will be needing this anymore" She said while smiling.

Then the image faded and Maudh stood in the thick forest again. She blink a few times as the scenes were lost from her mind altogether. A feeling of dread filled her stomach. Something bad had happened- she knew that much- but what it was remained a mystery.
Anxiousness gnawed at Maudh and she began to walk through the forest, unsure of where she was going but glad to at least be moving. By now the morning sun was shining brightly through the trees and the young lupesses spirits began to lift. After much trudging through the woods she stumbled across wide field. Positioned in the center of it was a large castle build of gray stone with towers, terraces, and magnificent stain-glass windows. Yellow, brown, and orange cobblestone paths lead through the lush green gardens that surrounded the front and sides of the castle. Benches where scattered at convenient points along these paths. At on one of the benches sat a dusty blue colored Lenny with round spectacles. He appeared to be reading a large book that was positioned in his lap.

Maudh walked cautiously towards him, her eyes scanning her surrounds with wonder. One she reached the Lenny she realized that he was, in fact, reading what must have been the oldest book in all neopia. After a moment the Lenny had still not looked up and she cleared he throat, attempting to get his attention. The neopet sighed and flipped the page gingerly, not bringing his eyes up to her.
I came all the way out here to get away from the racket you are making in MY library. The least you can do, Countess, is go back inside and annoy Dreams again. The lenny said in a highly exasperated tone, his eyes still focused on the book. Maudh scrunched her eyebrows together in a confused look. er… sorry she mumbled, beginning to turn away. At that the Lenny finally looked up. Wait... you are not Countess. He paused and studied Maudh for a moment. Oh dear. Where did you come from? He asked, but after seeing Maudh hesitate shook his Lenny head and stood up, repositioning his glasses as they slid down his beak like nose. Never mind that. Come along to the house. You need a bit of cleaning up. He said, turning and walking toward the mansion without waiting to see if Maudh was coming. Muadh glanced down at her mud-stained dress. She giggled while running her fingers through her matted scarlet hair. I must really look like a mess she whispered. Are you coming, or not? The lenny called. Maudh nodded and hurried to the castles large double doors, lifting up her soiled dress as she ran. The lenny placed his book on the ground and heaved one of the ornamented oak doors open with a grunt. He retrieved the book and motioned for Maudh to proceed inside. Welcome to the Eatherly Castle. I am Earl Eatherly... I seemed to have missed your name? I think it's Maudh. The lupess said, stepping inside.

In this section Countess and Dreams help Maudh remember her past, in which she was (and is) the princess of Brightvale. She would get bored of her royal life and sneak into the city dressed as a commoner. One day she met a young orphaned lupess, around her age, who lived on the streets and would steal food from shops and carts and such. Maudh became good friends with her and gave her one of her crown and necklace sets. The two would spend much time together and the orphaned lupess began teaching Maudh how to steal food from the shop owners. Maudh eventually sneaked out of the castle one to many times and her parents found out what she was up to. The King and Queen where never very involved in their daughters life but still loved her very much and, after much pleading on Maudh's part, decided to let Maudh's friend come live at the castle where she could have a home, be raised properly, abandon her habit of living off the honest brighvale farmers, and possibly become a scholar or teacher and give something back to her country. Before the young lupess moved to the castle though, a powerful scroll that was being kept locked away in the castle for a short time before being moved to a safer place was stolen and the guards protecting it where killed. All evidence pointed to Maudh's friend. the King and Queen, not knowing what to believed, doubted the the girl had anything to do with it, but having no way to prove that she did not, were forced to throw her into the dungeon until the mess could be sorted out. Young Maudh, feeling frustrated and distraught, ran away from the castle toward the haunted woods. There the beginning of the story picks up as she is running through the woods.

In this section Countess, Dreams, and Eatherly help Maudh uncover the facts that will prove who really stole the scroll and clear Maudh's friends name for good.

no changed info

In this section Maudh goes back to the castle and makes everything right with her parents and her friend. At the end she goes back to live with Etherly and stops begin a princess.

Info goes here ;)

In this part either one of these happen:

-Adopted family-

Dreams: Dreams is a very sensitive and some what disoriented Uni. For a long time he lived an adventurous life battling his evil sister, Beyoond. He has since then discovered, with the help of Countess, a way to cure his sister from her wickedness and has found a different sort of life where his problems are solved by books instead fighting. He loves to solve puzzles with Countess and, unlike most unis, finds himself completely at home in the large Eatherly castle. He feels he has a strange connection with Maudh because they are both often times viewed as being confused. Dreams understands Maudh better then any of the other family members and is very fond of her.

Beyoond: Beyoond is a female Uni with the royalboy coloration. She gets her spectacular beauty from her mother and at a glance appears to be an innocent young mare. Her horrible past though has brought the worst out of her, and though she has been cured from the curse that originally turned her evil, she never quiet lost her violent nature. She is a stubborn dare devil and who loves adventure and danger. She can be rude and inconsiderate with her peers and elders but has a soft spot for foals and other young pets- although she would be the last to admit it. She is spirited and wild, refusing any attempts by Dreams, her older brother, to keep her under control.

Earl Eatherly: The Earl is a strange character. He inherited his title and large estate from his father and has since then spent all his time in the castle collecting and reading books in his humongous library. After living alone for many months his young niece, the countess of Brightvale, was orphaned when her parents died in a fire and he invited her to live with him. Many years later the Lenny girl met Dreams and, after helping him save his sister from her curse, Eartherly invited them both to live with him. Not long after, Maudh stumbled upon his home and was eagerly excepted into the family. Eartherly, known as Therl to his strange family, is very territorial over his library. When ever he is not reading he spends his time sorting and cleaning his books. The Earl has no interest in politics what-so-ever and most high class Brightvale citizens do not even know he exists. His castle is well hidden on the outskirts of the county, surrounded by forest. Eatherly is constantly paranoid and every now and again predicts that the world is going to end. No one quite knows how old he is but though he is defiantly old enough to find an interest in female Leenies, he has never shown one. His family is not sure why he is colored pirate but assumes he was never one. A Book-worm Lenny like him would have no interest in ships and swords, right?

Uncreated Royalgirl lenny
Called Countess for the sake of sanity: Countess is a very bubbly Lenny. She spends her time looking for mysteries with Dreams and annoying her uncle Therl. She is enthusiastic about life and will not let anything discourage her. She has a thirst for adventure but tends to find herself exploring books in Eatherly's library instead of trekking through foreign lands. *design and personality still under construction*

Dusty: Dusty does not come to Brightvale much and prefers to stay in Shenkuu with her other pets. When she does journey to the Eatherly castle she makes herself at home and spends most of her time with Therl in the library.
