Minae Mitora, Goalkeeper
By Alagfalaswen

Minae Mitora is the name,
And stopping goals is his game.
With steady hands and a sure eye,
Rare are the goals that pass him by.

Critics may poke fun at his size,
But Minae knows they'll realise
There's no such thing as being 'too small'
to play in big-league Yooyuball.

As long as hands can block the shots
And guard the various weak net spots,
Who cares if he is 'just a Chia'?
Certainly not Minae Mitora!

His genial spirit, full of cheer,
shows that he's happy just being here,
A bit unfocused, a little slow,
but as long as the shots don't go

into the net he stands before
And up the opposing team's score,
Minae's content to play in ways
that earn his teammates heaps of praise.

To Terror Mountain this Chia's signed,
With good sportsmanship on his mind,
Let's all give three cheers for ol' Minae!
You ready? Hip, HIP, HOORAY!

Delina the Crafting Faerie
By Mamasimios

With the return of Faerie Quests
Has appeared a new faerie, and I like her best.
Delina does not mess with spells;
It's making crafts that she does well.

When asked for items by this dark faerie,
It's to the NC Mall you must hurry
To buy thread and flowers, copper wire;
An Acara there sells all that you require.

Bring the items back to the Crafting Faerie
And watch her hands fly with practised speed.
A twist, a fold, a stitch, a bow,
What she's making, only Delina knows.

You can keep your other Faerie Quests,
Not with health or speed do I wish to be blessed,
Stat increases leave me bored --
What I want is Delina's spiffy rewards!

Bits and bobs, odds and ends,
Delina stretches, pokes, and bends,
Will she make for you a pretty wig?
An umbrella or some silken wings?

Strength fades and fails as time is passing,
But you're never too old to quest for fashion,
As she recycles what others throw away,
Let's hope Delina's here to stay.

Mynci Ball
By Tealnova_dragon

As I strolled along the beach,
All fun and sand,
I saw a net, a soaring arc,
And two Myncies jumping to and fro.

Green birds flew high above, and Turdles
came to rest.

I watched a spike, a set, a win...
It looked so fun I had to try!

Standing there with ball in hand,
I suddenly felt so ever foolish.

I hit the ball, but the ball came back,
And before I knew it, I was eating sand

And hearing the echoing sound of laughter,
As the two Myncies took their net,
And went to play somewhere else.

to the royal Mynci on the other side of the sea
By Autotune

because I am tired of not seeing you,
my friend
of Shenkuu's other shores;
because I am tired of pretending
I am not lonely or alone,
because I am tired of filling
this empty space with sighs,

let's be strangers for a while.
so we can forget a little
and yearn a little less,
but not too long that we forget
a little too much,
my friend.
on the other side of the sea,

has spring reached you yet?
perhaps your cherry blossoms
have arrived, sweet and pink,
while here the trees are sleeping still.
when our frosts have melted,
my friend
on the other side of the sea,

let's send our Neomails at night
when the waves sound wistful
and the breeze stays quiet.
that's when we'll meet
again, always, someday,
from far to near
like the tide shall meet the shore.

A Quest for Keys
By Iniuria

Let's venture forth upon a quest
Like knights in days of old,
And if you prove yourself the best,
Your reward is paid in gold.

Gather keys of different hue
As you travel through the land.
Which way you go is up to you,
Though you might not go as planned.

A sudden gust of wind may blow
And move you from your space.
Then stronger still the portals grow --
Your path you must retrace.

If by Sophie you are cursed,
At home you'll be entrenched,
And your direction is reversed
If you encounter the Drenched.

A power-up is played on you,
A most unfortunate thing.
You had all keys but now have two --
It seems you've swapped key rings!

Compete against the others
Inside a mini-game,
If you'll have your druthers
Of the prizes and the fame.

Through all this you must prevail
To win that golden key,
Then at last you may avail
The vault guarded by Bree!

Present to her your token won
Through much effort and combat,
And when it's all said and done,
It was all for a Veiled Autumn Hat.
