Ixi Day Special

Tales to Tell Your Ixi
by matchagarden

“Mother mine,” 
Says the one so young, 
“May I have a story? 
Of all the Ixi so fine?” 

An Ixi cannot fathom to deny, 
How such tales of cunning, 
Can alight a mind like moonlight in the sky. 

“Why,” 
She hums, as she tucks her child into bedding and hay, 
“Of whom shall I say?” 

“For Ixis are so numerous and so many so noble…” 

“The adventures of Tarla are always unique,  
For her treasures will your interest peak.  
Up in the mountains so cold, 
Doused in silver and gold, 
She always has a gift for you, 
Or so I’m told.” 

“Of Sophie shall I weave?  
Whose potions are such a sight to perceive? 
Of her heroic past, 
A curse to free, 
Such tragedy, such woe, such bravery!” 

“Perhaps Nabile or Hanso, 
Thieves though they were, thieves they would not stay, 
What dashing Ixis, such plots simply had to convey.” 

“Heroes and queens, 
Witches and thieves, 
Many Ixis to know, what personalities so!” 

“Are these whom you’d like to hear? 
For these stories, many of our kin would surely cheer. 
I will do my best, dear Ixi of mine, 
Although I think it may be best for another time.” 

“For the hour is late and the sky has grown dark, 
Sleep now my Ixi, though thy dreams will surely spark.” 

In bed did he lay, with mind full of tale, 
Ixis dancing across his eye, 
Slowly to sleep did he sail.

The Shop Atop
by andrehmf98

Atop the Terror Mountain
Nearing its highest peak
Lies a shop so mysterious
Its shopskeeper always meek

You should try your luck
That's what she will say
Items hidden in blue bags
Hope your luck doesn't sway

Tarla's Shop of Mystery
Surely faithful to its name
Some shinies, some oddities
Yet no two are the same

Trying my luck, I bought a bag
A most precious celebration card
"Happy Ixi Day!" graciously written
Dearest Neopets, my regard!

Sinsi the Puzzle Master
by kittyko92

In Meridell green, where many crops bloom,
One Ixi bemoaned there was nothing to do.
Tired of counting potatoes, and feeling the gloom,
In her mind, puzzles began to brew!

She brainstormed day and night, perfecting her craft,
For days she pondered and calculated.
Tired, frustrated, scrapping many a draft,
Her determination never abated!

Finally, it was done, and ready to test!
The Ixi rubbed her hooves and laughed with glee.
These puzzles were meant for the very best!
She brought them to her friends, waiting anxiously!

"Sinsi!" they said, "It's been quite awhile!"
"You must have been working on something good!"
The Ixi could not hide her growing smile,
She replied, beaming, "Give it a try, if you would!"

Swords changed to a gauntlet and changed back again,
Depending on where her friends placed their shape.
Sinsi delighted in watching them rack their brains,
Sometimes they had it.. sometimes the solution would escape!

The first one was easy, to get the rules across,
But each level grew more complex than the last.
Soon, her friends were at a complete loss,
"I think this one goes here.. no, that's not right. Blast!"

Delighted to no longer guess the marrow,
Sinsi the Ixi had to come up with a name!
Soon, all of Meridell would come to know
"Shapeshifter", a truly difficult game!

The Mask of Coltzan: A Majestic Weapon
by _brainchild_

The Mask of Coltzan is so fine---
You'll surely find it quite divine!
I hear it's made of purest gold.
Why, for the record, I am sold.

You'll find it in the Hidden Tower.
Come at almost any hour!
For almost four mil, I'll buy
A mask so pleasing to the eye.

The mask shall function in a fight,
Inflicting harm with flames so bright.
It also guards against some earth
And darkness, proving lots of worth.

So, if you need a weapon, buy
The Mask of Coltzan, fun to try.
It's functional and beautiful---
It leaves my heart extremely full.

Happy Ixi Day!
by bittersweet52

Throughout the lands, both far and wide
In the forests they tend to hide
The Ixi! Native to Meridell
But all over Neopia they now do dwell

The Ixi are protected by Faeries and elves
Their status is quirky as only themselves
Are not quite restricted, yet are in a way
As you cannot zap into one by the lab ray!

Their woodland aesthetic pleases the eye
Their delicate hooves help them stay spry
It's no wonder they're favored by Illusen's kind
With natural beings they're of the same mind

If ever a species represented "Elvencore"
The Ixi truly fits the lore
Those diminutive horns and perky tail
Frolicking in fields and napping in dales

In the Month of Swimming come celebrate
The arrival of Ixi, that auspicious date -
The 11th! May your day be sweet - 
Filled with memorable fun and delicious treats!

A Cautionary Tale of the Roadside Bandit
by i_lovee_icecream

Walking through the forest,
On a serene day,
When you notice a feeling,
You can’t shake away.

A branch moves,
A twig snaps.
What was that sound?
Oh, no! It’s a trap!

Hiding in the shadows,
In a plum-colored cloak.
Devious and shrewd,
Unease he invokes.

It’s the Roadside Bandit,
A cunning Brown Ixi.
He’ll logic laps around you;
Send you into a tizzy.

Shrouded in darkness,
Carrying a sword.
This Thieves Guild member,
Is deceitfully scored.

When he proposes,
To strike a deal.
Do not agree,
No matter what you feel.

Give him your wallet,
And anything he wants.
Hold your composure,
Keep a calm response.

Watch him retreat,
Back into the shadows.
Safe another day,
Maintaining your repose.

The Desert Thief
by catchinglights

Lost Desert nights are cold and dark,
Chill winds throw up the sands.
A cunning Ixi finds her new mark,
Something she finds suitably grand.

Nabile was born a street urchin,
It's the life that she knows best.
She has stolen a small fortune,
In her nightly thieving quests.

Though guards patrol eternal,
Their eyesight sharp as tacks,
Nabile grew up nocturnal,
And she knows well to cover her tracks.

The palace walls are sheer,
Still Nabile deftly climbs.
This Ixi has no fear,
For she has done this many times.

A worthy target crosses Nabile's eyes,
Her pounce makes her Kyrii husband start.
For, of all, Nabile's most valuable prize,
Is, and always will be, King Jazan's heart.

A Shape to Shift with Sinsi
by dennykins

Sinsi the Ixi waves you in,
You take a seat, then you begin.
Just change the symbols to escape,
By using only the next 

Shape.

Sinsi’s brown eyes, they start to shine,
You shift sword to goblet, feeling fine. 
Each puzzle is tricky but fair,
Testing the focus you both

Share.

As you progress, through shifting tasks,
Sinsi the Ixi starts to ask,
Whether you truly aspire,
To be the best in the whole

Shire.

A tricky level rears its head,
Your happy heart soon turns to dread.
Sweat drips down fast towards the dirt,
You mop it quickly with your

Shirt.

The puzzles solved, you start to leave
Sinsi, she grabs you by your sleeve.
She hands you a small parting gift,
And thanks you for helping to 

Shift.

Bags of Mystery
by one_headlight

Welcome, welcome one and all,
To my cabin atop Terror Mountain.
Please ignore the snow beasts outside,
I assure you they aren't hungry again!

You might have heard of me before,
Tarla the Ixi and her treasure giveaways!
I also happen to own this shop,
Come see what's in stock, what do you say?

How does it work you ask?
Well really it's quite elementary!
For sale are bags upon bags,
What's inside each is a mystery!

I see you're skeptical, but lets try one first.
Open one up, you may change your tone.
Ooh it's a Rainbow Rug, how pretty!
I'd bet it'd fit well into your Neohome!

This is fun, isn't it? Let's keep going,
Choose a second bag, see what's inside!
That looks like a Skelly Petpet,
He's so adorable and red-eyed!

I bet there are even better things to find,
Why not open a third bag today?
Wow! You found an Ultra Icy Negg!
I bet you're glad you didn't walk away!

One last bag in stock, it's yours.
10,000 NP for a Pile of Dung!?
No wonder it kind of smelled,
Sorry, no refunds.

An Ixi Running
by betti666

Racing through the forest
Hooves hitting the dirt
Flowers crushed in haste 
My lead I will assert

With sheer determination 
Cool breeze in my coat
I hear you drawing nearer
Nerves built in my throat

The edge of the trees draws close 
It’s only a race for fun
But I’m determined to win it
My friend I will outrun 

Meridell draws nearer 
Our goal lies right ahead 
We are nearly neck and neck
My lead hangs by a thread

I spur myself onward
Putting bounce into my stride
I’ve won the challenge that we set
Heart full of Ixi pride.

The Light in the Grey
by ennyra

I visited my friend Wimzea one day, 
It's a long trip to where she lives.
This time was different than the others, 
She warned me about the sad vibes it gives. 

You see she lives in Meridell, 
And there have been some strange things happening. 
One morning she went outside, 
To see grey in every surrounding. 

She asked around and everyone was worried,
Nobody quite sure how to fight. 
She decided to go about it a different way, 
What everyone really needed was some light. 

She baked some cakes and bought some flowers, 
Everyone needed some happiness and smiles. 
They needed to stop thinking grey thoughts,
She visited everyone for many miles!

Everyone in Neopia is aware of what happened, 
Everyone is joined together to find a way, 
But in the meantime you can still find Wimzea,
Going around being the light in the grey.

At Coltzan's Shrine
by alagfalaswen

My footsteps mark the sands in line
to where a monolith benign
glows dim beneath the desert sky;
I stand before King Coltzan’s shrine.

The sun’s warm rays illuminate
The glyphs that sing of the king's great
governance and fight-prowess spry,
I bow my head for Coltzan's fate.

Then, slowly I approach the dais,
and dare to pray that Coltzan’s gaze
will bless this supplicant from high,
and grant a prize that will amaze.

Sometimes, a feast he will present,
or tomes and shields meant to augment
one’s might; he too might fortify
one’s innate strength with his descent.

Coltzan may also call forth wealth,
or restore sick patrons with health,
his kindly visage meets your eye,
as he bequeaths his gifts himself.

Yet, fickle moods may turn him chill
And one cannot call him at will,
But, should the Lupe King not reply, 
My respects I would pay him still.

Somber Ixi Celebrations
by ningkov1

Grey permeating Meridell’s lands 
Glowing fallen Void strands
This year’s celebrations more subdued 
A somber and contemplative mood 

Lush vegetable fields
Rolling green hills and trees,
Now shadowy and grey 
Hardly suitable for Ixi Day

Still we celebrate the Ixi’s arrival
As we fight for our survival
In the midst of our pain,
Festivities must remain 

Munching on Chocolate Ixi cookies
A prism of Ixis dance with ease,
Their playful nature a welcome break 
From everything that’s at stake 

Candy Ixis remind us life can be sweet 
Stealthy Ixis remind us to never retreat 
Baby Ixis remind us to fight for the young 
Disco Ixis remind us to still have fun 

A rainbow kaleidoscope of glee 
Come join the Ixi jubilee, 
Now more than ever we need our friends 
Standing together until the threat ends!

Altador Cup Ixis
by endisnigh

Ixis are supported by the Meridell Team
Together they chase the Altador Cup dream
Ilsa and Ethel both play a great game
This is their year to earn some fame

Ilsa Ellits defends from the centre
Blocking all those who wish to enter
The Red Ixi is tough and sports a large size
But scoring is hard, so he'll pass to other guys

Ethel Boortz joined a few years ago
And she's proved she has a lot to show
But don't let her old age fool you
She is resilient and a great addition to the crew

Team Meridell has come to play
Hoping to cheer up their land from the grey
Let another Ixi, Tobias Sigmir, give his say
While he comments on the teams all the long day

Tobias the Ixi Sports Commentator
by skeletonic

Above the Altador Cup stadium, 
So bright and so loud,
Tobias the Ixi watches the Yooyuball move, 
As does the crowd! 

As the players dash
And as the players score
Tobias, in his observation room,
Will add to the dialogue more! 

He paints a picture 
With his words so clear
Describing players like 
Soaring like the Alkenores!

Tobias insights are quite keen,
His banter with Hovri is quick. 
It’s joyous entertainment listening to them
As the players shoot, run, and kick! 

Tobias has got the passion,
He’s got the expertise
To guide us through 
Each and every play with ease!

Bookkeeper of Brightvale
by hermione_fan_4

Whether the day is sunny or grey
In a little corner of Brightvale
You can always find this Ixi
With an almanac or good tale

He may be up on a ladder
Restocking anthologies and histories
Or he may be curled up with a cup of tea
And a novel, solving epic mysteries

Don’t be afraid to knock on the door
And peruse through his great collection
Feel free to ask him for help
If you’re stumped for inspiration

Watch his ears pop up from behind a book
His bespectacled eyes turning towards you
A grin blossoming on his face
As he makes recommendations tried and true

With hooves clip clopping excitedly around the shop
He collects books from his many inventories
Before you know it your arms will be full
Of encyclopedias, poems, and stories

As you get ready to return home
Laden with your new literary treasures
Remember to pay and give your thanks to
The Ixi who treats us all with scholarly pleasures

My Royal Girl Ixi
by joey200010

She is a Royal Girl, you know,
My Ixi. And she’ll tell you so
You’ll see her curtsey before she speaks—
And how politely her Royal Seece squeaks!

Her hennin and veil are a pretty pink
(Hennin’s the word for the hat, I think)
Her fur’s lavender and so very soft
And her little button nose usually held aloft

Her gown cascades and pools on the ground
Her doe eyes are blue and often round
Tiny little horns but an angelic face
Why, my Royal Girl Ixi is the epitome of grace!

She goes by the name Nequisime
Alas, it is not easy to say
But nicknames are for less fancy pets
So ‘Nequisime’ is what she wants—and gets
