Lupe Day Special

Step Right Up to Bagatelle
by qlobal

Buzzing bright lights in the Deserted Fairground,
A sly Lupe has a game stand to be found.
That’s right, step right up to Bagatelle’s floor!
To fling a tiny Mootix onto a old rusty board.

Only 250 NP to play Harker’s game,
If you lose, you know exactly who to blame.
Not Harker, no - this Lupe would never rig it!
It’s probably just your throw, now don’t throw a fit!

Harker pulls up his overalls as he waves you quick,
He gives you a handsome grin - that’s his trick.
No way this is rigged, each throw is so smooth.
He knows you’ll be back either way, he has nothing to prove.

If you get a lucky shot, you’ll win a prize so rare.
A t-shirt to take home or a pricey book to share.
Harker strokes the treasure chest, a gift so fine.
Maybe you’ll win nothing and just waste your time.

No matter what, Harker welcomes you back each day.
With a smile and a nod as he tucks your money away.
One of these days you’re bound to hit the jackpot!
At least that’s what he wants you to think… give it your best shot!

King Altador
by treeword

Golden crown aglow
King Altador leads with strength
Stars guide his just path.

Twelve heroes arise
From shadow, the Lupe blooms bold
His sword cleaves through lies.

Darkness cloaked a friend,
Altador's trust torn apart
Time frozen in grief.

Statues stand in stone
Yet his heart still guards the realm
Altador lives on.

The Thrill of the Hunt by Balthazar the Bounty Hunter
by tylerhuyser

Prowling around in the darkness,
My net in hand and my eyes keen,
I, Balthazar, seek to profit,
Off fleeing faeries, agleam.

For each Bottled Faerie fetches,
A pretty penny or two,
But after many years, wretched,
I may be ready to change views.

Chasing these fleeting faeries,
Makes me begin to wonder,
Do riches bring my fulfilment,
Or am I in it for plunder?

Perhaps I enjoy the feeling,
After a successful hunt?
I get a rush of adrenaline,
Which is what I must now confront.

Now I understand, it's the thrill,
I now know is my obsession.
However, even I, Balthazar,
Can learn an important lesson.

King Coltzan III
by fivemilliononly

At the very heart of the Lost Desert
King Coltzan III ruled with grace
A Lupe king that puts a lot of effort
To bring Sakhmet to be a glorious place

But evil came in sneaky ways
Sankara is a cunning princess
Bringing him down in Usurper Plot days
Spreading grief and sadness

In midst of grief a shrine did rise  
Coltzan's Shrine grand and bright  
Where the spirit of the king resides
A monolith with beautiful sight

Neopians come to this place everyday
As the king bestows various items
Generous and kind with the giveaway
From foods and coins to exclusive gem

Tasha and Her Toys
by i_lovee_icecream

Tasha is a Lupe,
Brimming with joy. 
She is the shopkeeper,
At Neopian’s Shop of Toys!

With beautiful red fur,
And auburn hair to boot. 
She’s a sight to behold,
And really quite a hoot!

She spins and twirls,
In her fanciful dress. 
Showing toys galore,
An inventory to behest!

Goodie bags and Quiguki,
Faerie dolls and more. 
Come on down to the Toy Shop,
To see what’s in store!

Tasha will greet you,
With a smile so wide.
She’ll eagerly welcome you,
To step on inside. 

Buy an action figure,
Buy an adorable balloon. 
Whatever you buy,
You better make it soon!

On this Lupe Day,
We thank Tasha for her service. 
Her work with customers,
Goes deeper than the surface. 

Her kindness emanates,
Her friendliness touches. 
Tasha is the best,
She’s the toy duchess!

Balthazar the Lupe
by tatyanne

The story of Balthazar 
Is a most tragic tale—
Lost and abandoned
As a wee little babe.

Frightened and cold,
The Lupe was alone—
He was far away
From all he had known.

Through the Haunted Woods
Balthazar crawled.
What terrible fate had befallen
An innocent child so small.

There in the distance!
This was his hope!
Glowing purple orbs—
In the darkness they shone.

“Help me! Help me!”
Balthazar cried out.
They were Dark Faeries—
They laughed out loud.

Roaring and cackling,
They tossed twigs and stones.
Balthazar yelped and fled,
Destined to be forever alone.

Never did Balthazar forget,
The cruel acts that night.
He gritted his fangs
And vowed that he would fight.

The Bounty Hunter
Is who he grew up to be.
Now large and menacing—
He would hunt Faeries.

Balthazar the Lupe,
Just wanted to be loved.
Yet fate had decided
He would find none thereof.

Lupe Pack Pride
by mooseydoom101

Lupes are well known to be bold, fierce, and brave
But that's not quite all to how they behave
These mighty hunters will say it aloud
They aren't shy about it- Lupes are proud!

Though some may think they have a lone wolf vibe
A proud Lupe will always protect its tribe
No matter your creed, your style, or your track
You are welcome in any real Lupe pack

To be a Lupe is to always be kind
And living with Lupes you will always find
Creatures with hearts as big as they are wild
Cruelty to others is what gets them riled

Be true to yourself and you will have love
And you can accomplish all you dream of
Lupes by your side you can always depend
Against any bullies they will defend

So before you bully, mock, tease, or jeer
Take great care if any proud Lupes are near
Think before you act instead, and trust me
Having an open mind is good, you'll see!

Beware the Werelupe King!
by unfreeze_xlinger2

There's something lurking deep within the night,
Hiding in burrows and looking for a fight.
He has piercing red eyes and a pitch black coat.
His claws are razor sharp; he's a brutal cutthroat.

Behold! It's the Werelupe King!
He packs a punch which leaves a sting.
Earning his title through his treachery and deceit,
He we will challenge anyone who opposes his seat.

A mysterious Dark Faerie appeared before him.
She's more wicked than usual, looking grim.
She request that he steals a charm from Illusen,
And keep it hidden within his Werelupe Den.

But a pair of two heroes caught him off guard.
Tor and Roberta came in fast and hit him hard.
They took back the charm from him and his crew,
Leaving the mighty king howling in anger "Awoooo!"

Eat up Buck, it’s Lupe Day!
by gali184

Lupe Day is a true celebration for these omnivorous pups,
But one Lupe, in particular, celebrates with lots of hiccups.
Not the bad kind, but the ones you get from eating too fast.
When it comes to food, what’s on the table will never last.
 
I’m talking about Buck Cutlass, he’s a Food Club star!
From gourmets to other foods, he is never too far.
Buck is a celebrated Lupe, a truly famous canine,
Who just finds most foods to be oh so divine.
 
On this celebrated day, foods for Lupes are aplenty,
And Buck will surely eat, as his stomach is never empty.
Chias, treats, cookies, oh and of course cheese!
All Lupes and Buck will exclaim, “yes, more – please!”
 
But don’t eat too much, dear ole Buck!
When it comes to Food Club, you need luck.
On Lupe Day, Buck must win! He must prevail!
With odds as twenty to one, even he won’t fail.

The Hunter Lupe King Altador
by alagfalaswen

'The Hunter', he's called - the Lupe King Altador,
Not simply due to his famed archery skill.
For a hunter provides, and to this day still,
he guards the citizens to whom he once swore
to protect from villains whose powers corrupt
and would Altador City's gained peace disrupt. 

He sought first a city untainted by greed,
but failed to find such an existing haven.
So Altador resolved to raise a bastion
with virtue and righteousness forming its creed;
For this, the Hunter gathered the Eleven,
who built, as one, the grand City's foundation. 

Altador prospered under its namesake's rule,
until the Sleeper's greedy plan took effect;
her machinations single-handedly wrecked
the steadfast calm with but an action cruel.
Grim was King Altador's stern decree to hide
Altador City from all of Neopia's sight. 

Yet, a thousand years of concealed existence
has not corroded what Altador holds dear;
Injustice and conflict can still quickly spur
this regal king into giving assistance,
And gentle his smile when you drop by each day,
As he thanks you in his daily giveaway.

The Journey of the Neoquest Hero: A Lupe’s Account
by _brainchild_

I fight to save this planet from
The curses of Jahbal.
This Lupe must fend off Eyrie scum
For happiness of all.
I'm almost there. I'm very strong,
And will face any foe.
Jahbal's misdeeds are very wrong.
He must be stopped, you know!

I enter Two Rings Palace, home
Of Chias left and right.
I fight the monsters as they roam
'Till no more are in sight.
However, mean Jahbal remains.
I finally shall duel
Against this gargoyle. What a pain!
Nobody is more cruel.

He has a lot of health. I fear
That I just can't endure.
His stun attacks are also here---
I cannot move, for sure.
He can cast magic of three kinds,
From fire, to ice, to shock.
I feel like I am in a bind
As my face hits a rock.

Nevertheless, I have to fight
Until the Eyrie yields.
O'er balcony he flies, past sight,
Into some unknown field.
I take a breath---I've saved the day!
I finally return
Home to a hero's welcome. May
The nasty Eyrie burn.

The Story of Tomos
by togepwi

Tomos the bold Lupe
Formerly part of the Desert Scarabs group
He had a light touch
As he "borrowed" so much

He was a menace in the marketplace
Hardly ever caught in a chase
A shopkeeper's total nightmare
He and his friend were quite the pair!

Then Sakhmet was in disarray
Luckily, he was there to help save the day
With his friend becoming Qasala's queen
Tomos found a new routine!

Nowadays he's turned a new leaf
He's no longer much of a thief
It's really more of a disguise
I heard he's one of Queen Nabile's spies!

In his free time, he plays a game
Compared to his past, it's really tame!
The Great Desert Race with his best friend
Is how he chooses to spend the weekend

Tomos has not had an easy life
But after all that turmoil and strife
He finally has some stability
Where he can enjoy some well-deserved tranquillity!

Coltzan's Shrine
by midnightfrost444

Tell me, have you heard
Of King Coltzan the Third? 
A Lupe king from the Lost Desert's past.

He protected the land
Of endless hot sand. 
He defended his home to the last. 

Now his magical crown
Was once taken down. 
By thieves, who stole it away.

But don't be concerned, 
For the crown was returned.
And we can visit his shrine today!

The subjects were loyal
To this ghostly Lupe royal,
So you may get a blessing out there.

And if you come late at night,
And time it just right...
You might become a millionaire!

A Lupe in the Night
by ningkov1

A bump in the night 
A terrible fright,
The Luperus haunts dreams 
Waiting for your screams 

Red eyes pierce 
Sharp fangs fierce, 
Chias beware 
Each night take care 

Rest your weary head
Dark night dread,
If the Luperus appears don’t run 
For him, the chase is fun 

Keep Lupe Treats near
Steady your fear,
It could be your lucky day 
You may live and play

Carrot Chia-shaped Lupe treats a delight
Chocolate ones taste just right 
The Minty flavor fresh and clean 
In the moonlight the sugar gleams 

Offer the Luperus a snack 
Hope he doesn’t attack
If all else fails 
Let out a loud wail!
