ICE CAVES - Hello there everyone, I am incontanentia_rome, (call me Rome)
special reporter, super sleuth and seeker of stories, and I am here to interview
the one, the only, the positively petrifying Snowager!!! I have brought along
my photographer, Nell the Chia, *wild applause from readers* oh come on, she's
not that great. No offense, Nell, you're a lovely blue Chia; I couldn't get
much better than you. Anyway, I have brought a few Neggs to tempt the Snowager,
(and possibly to divert his attention from eating me), and Nell is going to
see if he can get a photo of us together, so that I can prove to all the NTAG
members that I really did it. Anyway, lets head on in, to the Snowagers Cave!
Rome: *walks in holding Neggs in front of herself so the Snowager can see.*
Err, mister Snowager, you said I could have an interview. I brought you some
Neggs!
SW: Call me Sssnow. *looks at Neggs greedily* Have a ssseat, and give me those
Neggsss!
Rome: *throws over Neggs and sits down, not too close to the giant Ice worm*
Okay our first question is...
SW: I didn't know that you were going to ask questionsss.
Rome: Of course I'm asking questions, this is an interview! Haven't you ever
had an interview?
SW: *silence*
Rome: Wahoo! That makes this so much better! I am going to be the first person
to ever, ever interview the Snowager! I'll be famous!!! *dances around until
she sees the Snowager glaring at her, and quickly sits back down* Okay, could
you please tell me about your past?
SW: Yesss. Long ago, before any Neopetsss lived here, there were many of usss.
We called ourssselvesss ice wormsss. We happily lived on top of the Mountain.
Back then it wasss called Ice Mountain. If I can remember correctly, there were
fifty of usss. Well, the othersss decided that they wanted adventure, so they
left the mountain and went to warmer places. Of courssse, they *gives a tiny,
itty-bitty sob* they- well, they melted. All of them. I wasss the only one with
the sssenssse to ssstay. Well, I lived *slightly louder sob* alone up on the
Mountain, until all thessse ssstrange creaturesss came. I hid, buried in the
sssnow. Then, the Ice cavesss loomed out of nowhere. I moved in, thinking I
might be able to have sssome peace. When I came into thisss cavern, there wasss
a large pile of thessse Negg thingsss, and it appeared that sssomeone was here.
Then, who I later found out wasss the Negg Faerie came and told me that this
wasss her ssstorage place. I told her my story, and she had sssympathy on me.
She told me I could live in thisss cavern with the Neggs, but I have to give
her Negsss when she asksss for them. Quick asss a flash, I grabbed my few itemsss,
and now I live here.
Rome: *wipes away a tear* that was moving. I have a few more questions. What
are you?
SW: *laughs* I'm ice you fool, what did you think?
Rome: *ignores comment* Have you ever eaten a Neopet?
SW: *laughs a deep, loud laugh* No! thossse thingsss are grosssss!
Rome: Then what do you eat?
SW: Isssn't it obviousss? I eat ice. If I am made of ice, I need ice and sssnow
to grow.
Rome: Oh. Well, if your ice, then how did you get to be, you know...
SW: Alive?
Rome: Yeah.
SW: Ah, that isss a legendary tale. Long ago, when Neopia wasss new, The Faerie
Queen was flying around the world, sssurveying her beautiful Neopia, when she
sssaw that there wasss no life on the Mountain. She shed one of her magical
tearsss, and it fell onto the sssnow. From that magic, the Ice wormsss came
from the magical snow, and then we ate it, making ourselves huge.
Rome: Fascinating. You seem to have a rich history. It is really incredible.
We think that Lupes and Chias have and interesting history, but whatever happened
to them is nothing compared to this. And I'm the first to find out. This is
going to be the best articles. Let us see The Neopian Times reject me now!
SW: The Neopian Timesss? Thisss article will be in the Neopian timesss? I have
heard about The Neopian Timesss. I wasss alwaysss wondering when they would
write sssomething about me. By the way, what did happen in hissstory with Chiasss
and Lupesss?
Rome: Beats me *shrugs* Hey! I can do my next article about that! Wahoo! *gets
up and dances again, and then sits back down* Oh, yeah. I have another question
for you. How do you feel about Neopets stealing your Neggs?
SW: *roars with rage* what, you mean sssome of thossse pesssky petsss sssteal
my Neggsss?
Rome: Oops. I forgot. They do it while your asleep.
SW: *roars with rage* Ho dare they!!! I will dessstroy all of them. Foolish
petsss. Ssstealing my Neggsss. They will regret the day they did that.
Rome: Calm down. I'll take it that you don't like it. *starts to wilt under
Snowagers glare* I'm sorry, okay. Forget I said it. Well, it has really been
great getting to know you, Snow. Oh wait, Nell, quickly get a photo of us together!
*Flash!*
Nell: Oops.
Rome: Oops what. *in shaky voice*
Nell: Um, well, I kind of only got the photo of Snow. I accidentally cut you
out of the photo.
Rome: And knowing my luck, it was the last photo on the film because you have
been taking pictures of *voice rises an octave*orange Chias, because you think
their cute.
Nell: How dare you tell that little secret to the world!
SW: *laughs* really you two, grow up!
Rome: I'm sorry Nell. Thanks for everything, Snow! *walks out of cave with
Nell*
