--The Story--

You run through the woods as fast as you can, trying to stay ahead of the beast that has been following you for a while now. You don't know what it is, but sometimes you can hear it growling behind you, other times you hear nothing at all. You should've just stayed on the path, yet you keep running, knowing that if you stop it will surely catch up to you...and you don't even want to think of what would happen then...

The woods start to get darker, you start to get tired and night starts to fall. You're already considering just to stop running, there is no hope anymore for you, there is no and Goldbway to outrun the beast. It will catch up to you sooner or later anyway.

The woods get denser as you run deeper into the woods, you decide to keep running for now, it won't get you that easily...But while you're busy thinking that you don't see the root of a tree and you trip over it. You hear the beast roar as it is coming closer, fast. The beast pounces ready to make its kill when you see an arrow whizzing by. When you look at the beast you see it crashes just before your feet, dead.

You're still lying there on the ground, staring at the beast that was hunting you but is now dead, wondering how this could happen.

...: Werelupes, as aggressive as ever.

As you hear the strange voice it suddenly hits you, the beast, this Werelupe, couldn't have just died on its own, something killed it. You turn around to see what it was that killed it, and to see if it would kill you next...

You see a Zafara standing in front of you. As dark as the shadows, dark red bangs cover his right eye and the eye you can see and the tuft of hair on his tail are purple. He wears a red bandana around his neck, and carries a strange bow with him, you can't remember ever seeing a bow like that before. On his back you see a dark blue quiver, filled with arrows like the one that is now pointing out of the Werelupe.

...: What are you staring at?
guest: Um, nothing.


You quickly turn your gaze away from him as he seems slightly agitated by your staring. The Zafara seemed alright, at least he wouldn't kill you. What is a Zafara doing in the Haunted Woods anyway? A silence falls between you and him.

...: Anyway, I havn't introduced myself yet, I'm Zaripto. A Zafara as you've probably seen already. Who are you?
guest: I'm guest.
Zaripto: We'd best not stay here guest, Werelupes usually hunt in packs. The rest of them should be here soon.

Zaripto starts to walk and you decide to follow him. Even though you don't know him, it's always better than staying here and wait for the Werelupes.

After you've walked for a while the density of the forest gets less and the moon shines through the branches of the trees. You follow the Zafara to a small house, or rather a hut, in a clearing of the forest.

As you follow Zaripto into the small house you notice that it just consists out of one single room. While a rather evil looking Quetzal climbs up to his shoulder you look around the room. A bed, a sofa, table, chairs, some torches and other stuff. Nothing unusual really, well except for the dead plant and the two freaky Meowclops statues maybe.

Zaripto: You can stay here for the night, I'll guide you out of the forest tomorrow.
guest: Thanks, but I'm hungry. Do you have something to eat?

Zaripto nods, and starts to search through a cabinet on the wall. You notice a bunch of potions and strange charms in it, alot of different stuff but certainly no food. Yet a few minutes later the Zafara holds up a plate with a Deviled Steak. Then you see in that same cabinet a small fridge, filled with those steaks. Yet you're sure it wasn't there before.

guest: Deviled Steak? You really expect me to eat THAT?
Zaripto: Don't make fun out of it, it's really good stuff you know.
guest: Where are you from? Kreludor?
Zaripto: I heard that. Take it or leave it.

You wonder how he could hear that. So you decide to take it, it's always better than starving to death. How bad can it really be? After he gave you the plate you start eating it. He's right, it is pretty good stuff, except that it keeps trying to fly away. While you are busy eating and preventing your steak of flying away Zaripto walks around the room grabbing a pillow from some dusty corner of the room and tossing it on the sofa.

Zaripto: You can sleep there.
guest: What about the Werelupes out there?
Zaripto: They don't get near here, they're too scared for that.
guest: Okay. So where is your owner?
Zaripto: message_not? I'd rather not call it my owner, I just visit her and the others every now and then. They live in Neopia Central, I have my own room there and they decorated it just like here for me.
guest: So you live here all by yourself?
Zaripto: Yes. What's with all those questions anyway? Go to sleep.
guest: Umm okay.

He seems a bit annoyed by all your questions. So you go to sleep on the sofa.
The next morning you wake up and you get yet another Deviled Steak, but for breakfast this time. That dead plant in the corner does look different though, like it moved, but that can't be can it? It's dead after all. After you finish your steak Zaripto leads you out of the forest and leaves you at Neopia Central.

When you turn around to thank him for helping you and giving you a place to sleep he is gone already. You hear a Werelupe growl sending chills down your spine, remembering what almost happened last night, but it suddenly stops. Looks like he got another one.
You don't know if you would ever see this strange Zafara again. But at least you know that you will stay on the path next time you visit the Haunted Woods.

Adoptables

Requests/Trades: Open/Open

O noes, for some reason Zaripto ended up with Sarah's adoptables...

Zaripto: And why was that again?
message_not: Because you two gotta learn to get along better :3
Zaripto: ...

Rules: (like you havn't ever heard them before)

When you request:
When you request a custom adoptable there are a few things you can get extra, I can put something on the balloon, a mark or some text or whatever you want. You can also request a balloon color yourself but if you don't say it I will think of a fitting color myself. Just make sure you mention it in your neomail if you want something special.

Very sorry but customs are currently CLOSED T_T I have to catch up on all other customs I have to make and homework. They will open up soon again! Keep checking back.

Here is an example of what they look like:
