Illusen Day Special

Green Fabled Sonnet
by actiontal

Far beyond Neopia’s sand and stone
Past Meridell’s castle and rolling hills
Awaits a budding magic, all its own 
Hidden in treetops viridescent frills

A freckled faerie eclipsed in a glade 
Lightwater forest, her lush verdant scape
In tune with nature, her beauty in spades
Emerald enchantments are taking shape

Handmade effects, Illusen has blessed
Potions, weapons and cookies made of cream 
For those brave enough to journey on quests
Nestled deep in the woodland heath where sunbeams

A green canopy where leaves never fall
Whispers the faerie, "Aren't I a doll?"

Illusen's Contingency Plan
by frankie8492

Over the years, Illusen has remained alert 
To Jhudora's schemes, no matter how overt. 
She's convinced that Jhudora is up to no good,
And started making plans as best as she could. 
Her goal is to ensure that no one gets hurt. 

Illusen knows to keep her plans close to her chest, 
But she needs ingredients, so she started Illusen's Quest. 
Luckily, her plans continued to go undetected. 
To everyone else, she is acting just like they expected.
If only they knew, then they would be impressed.

Illusen has been crafting weapons, runes, and potions,
Just in case Jhudora starts acting on her evil notions.
The protective runes will work to keep dark spells at bay,
So that her glade will be a safe place for people to stay.
Hopefully this is all for nothing and there won't be any commotions.

Illusen the Benevolent Faerie
by shutianlei3333

At the woodlands near the border of Meridell
Is where Illusen and her friends dwell.
Her haven is for those affected by war,
Strife, loneliness, illness and more.

Illusen can keep you safe and give you protection.
Or if you are lost, she can provide some direction.
She loves to plant trees and grow flowers.
But don't be fooled, she also has many superpowers.

She knows how to grow vegetables and make food,
So stop by for a delicious meal if you are in the mood.
Her glade is also a perfect place for some fresh air.
You will find peace and quiet when you are there.

Illusen is known to travel far and wide,
And may randomly appear by your side. 
When you encounter her, she never disappoints,
Because she will often give you 10,000 Neopoints!

Jhudora Gives a Toast
by tangerine_paws

The sunny streets of Meridell
are strung with emerald streamers,
and from the Castle to the Glade
the town is clogged with dreamers

dressed up in every shade of green
and making a commotion
in foolish hopes that they might earn
Eye Cream or Honey Potion.

The Symols won't stay in their holes;
the Zebies won't stop springing;
and all the woodland echoes with
the sound of Weewoos singing;

and if I have to listen to
some Ixi wax poetic
about how nice the weather is
I'll need an anaesthetic;

and Faerie Queen herself forbid
I smell Pebeanjay Flowers
or have to wade through Rainbow Beams
and Golden Glitter Showers.

So here's to this revolting day
of mawkish spring effusion --
please raise your Noxious Nectars high
in honour of Illusen!

A Guide to Illusen’s Il-loser-y Items
by exanomaly

Illusen’s Cream Cookies:
As dense as toothpaste and the colour of pickles, 
these gunky biscuits are poison for Quiggles. 

Illusen’s Potion:
A super-weak bomb that looks like an off-brand lotion, 
you might as well chuck this straight into the ocean. 

Illusen’s Comb:
I don’t know why y’all think caring for Earth is so fantastic, 
this cheaply-produced comb is made of plastic!

Illusen’s Novel:
No one ever said faeries were good at multitasking, 
it’s not for her way with words that pets are basking. 

Mud Mixture: 
Are we sure this mud isn’t just plain old dung? 
About its aid to victory, no songs will be sung. 

Leaf Taco:
To call this plant mush a taco is basically a lie, 
better off grabbing some Jhudora fries. 

Illusen’s Staff:
For a stick with a leaf on it, it’s a high price to pay, 
and a Wand of the Dark Faerie is better, I must say,

… though as weapons go, I guess it’s … pretty okay 
– but good luck winning one this Illusen Day! 

(Note: This poem was copied from “Illusen’s Insignificant Quests Book”, rumoured to have been written by Illusen’s superior faerie nemesis who is very good at multitasking, thank you very much.)

Illusen, une fée sensationnelle
by werdesy

Elle n'est peut-être pas la reine
Elle n'est pas la sirène
Qui nous permet de nous baigner
Afin de choisir une couleur rêvée

Elle ne donne pas de statistiques exceptionnelles
Mais nous ne le prenons pas personnel
elle reste une Top modèle
Cette fée sensationnelle

Nous l'apprécions pendant son événement aléatoire
10.000 neopoints se retrouvent dans nos poches
Un sentiment jubilatoire
Comme on dit en bon français, un fée "sacoche"

Joyeux Anniversaire à toi, Illusen
Tu es comme notre marraine
Toujours présente quand on en a besoin
aujourd'hui, tout comme demain

Illusen Jelly Beans: Yummy, Fruity Treats
by _brainchild_

Illusen Jelly Beans are grand,
As yummy as can be.
These tasty treasures of the land
Will bring you lots of glee.
Illusen craves these yummy treats,
And so will you, upon
Experiencing fruity, sweet
Desserts to focus on.

The jar is oh so whimsical---
A pair of earthen wings
Join fuchsia in a bow. A dull
Mood breaks when lovely things
Like these are introduced. The tastes
Of jelly beans delight!
Consume these fruits in blissful haste---
Emotions reach their height.

From blueberry, banana cream,
Lime, grape, to cherry joy,
These flavours are a cheerful dream---
They never will annoy.
It's so straightforward why they're loved
By Miss Illusen. She
Agrees---these gems are way above
The rest---they're right for me.

Illusen Day Feast
by cloudry

In the secret glade you’ll find 
A place between the trees
Where faeries sit awaiting you
A party-if you please.

We celebrate a special day
That has only just begun
The hosts have baked an earthy feast
And invited all to come.

Cookies, cake, and loaves of bread
Stacked a mile high
Paired with herbal blended teas
And a Veggie Stew Pie!

Before you arrive
To fill up on food
Feast your eyes upon the trees
In between the wood.

The table holds upon it
Many wonders to behold
Take in the collection
Of our nature’s hoard.

Cakes are topped with flowers,
Mugs collected over time,
Hand-carved table settings,
Adorned with greenery so fine.

Leaves swaying are our music
The stars our faerie lights
We lay a hand upon the staff
As trusted friends tonight.

All of this awaits you;
In the secret glade you’ll say
“Thank you for inviting me
On Illusen Day”.

In Otherwise Idyllic Glade
by flufflepuff

A 
bit
of hazel, 
shades of 
green, what 
shadows have 
so seldom seen,
protected from a 
nightmare’s blade:
such is the faerie’s 
tranquil glade. This 
refuge homes all placid 
sound: a whispered breeze 
that hugs the ground, grass
being trod, a Pteri’s call…
and most intriguingly of all,
the glade is where the loyalty
of friends is tempered ruthlessly.
And should the tester fail? Their 
fate? For finishing a quest too 
late? No temper after tempering. 
Just disappointment, lingering.
Two pools of melancholy green,
the likes of which are seldom
seen. Yet out of dross, 
true friends are made
in otherwise 
i
d
y
l
l
i
c 
glade.

Illusen's Insignificant Quests Book
by indulgences

Um, someone has a hater here.
The book’s been scrawled with ink.
The cover with Illusen’s face…
She has no beard, I think.

Her eyebrows have been scrawled as well.
They look quite angry now.
They’re meant to make her look quite fierce,
With savage, darkened brows.

Did mean Jhudora change this book?
What vandal did deface
This harmless log of faerie quests
Illusen made with grace?

This book is quite graffiti’d now.
The pages are scrawled too.
The quests are crossed out with such rage,
With blackest marker hue.

Who scribbled in this pretty book?
Who ruined this fine tome?
I need to solve this mystery
Before this book comes home.

This puzzle must be figured out
Before another book
Is shamelessly destroyed as well.
I have to find the crook.

Illusen’s Day is here today,
So help me track the brute!
If you have any evidence,
We’ll give the fiend the boot!
