Peinguane the Persistent by Litesaber |
 |
|
Peinguane was a zippy, energetic little Bruce ever since he was born. Also, he was very persistent. If he wanted something, he would tug on his owner's arm and say, "Litesaber, I'm hungry! Can we eat out?" or, "Litesaber, I'm boooooooooored! Can I get a brand new Super Duper Scooter?" Many times, Litesaber would say no, but eventually, he would have to give in. But he was not a mean Bruce. He would help Litesaber in the garden, or take over duty in the store. He was very helpful in a way, too. The Faeries also saw the good in him and what sorts of powers he could get if he tried. This, too, was also speculated by the Dark Faerie. "If I could get him as a minion, I would be all powerful and take over the WHOLE of Neopia!" Most of all, to the Dark Faerie's delight, Bruces were not known to be at all that strong in battle. As he grew older, the Light Faerie presented him with a Quest. "I must have this card," she said as she showed him a picture of it, "Without you searching through shops to buy it. I left it somewhere, but where? I can't remember." With that, she returned to the Tower of Light. Indeed, she and her sisters would only present quests to those they knew could handle them. As Peinguane was persistent, he didn't give up. Search he did. Finally, after much searching, he returned home. After a meal of ErgyBrocolli and a delicious Space Slush, he went back to his room to read a book. But with the quest on his mind, he just couldn't concentrate. "I don't want the Light Faerie to think that I cannot handle a quest! Finish it I must!" He dropped the book on his bed and put a note on the refrigerator: Dear Litesaber, I am going to be out searching for a card that the Light Faerie lost.
Signed, Peinguane When Litesaber got home from a day of great selling at his shop, he gasped at the note. Why would Peinguane do this? "He is a persistent Bruce, and I should have known it." Sadly, because he hated to be lonely, Litesaber went to the hatchery to get a less determined breed. The Dark Faerie was waiting for him when Peinguane had reached the Haunted Woods. "Oh, Peinguane! Do you need this?" She waved a card at him. The one the faerie had lost! He was about to take it, when his sense of logic kicked in. "Wait a sec," Peinguane said slowly, "I can't take the card. I have to find it." Remembering her looks from the cover of one of books, he lowered his eyes, "And you are the Dark Faerie. If you think I'd take an offer from you, it would have to be NEVER!!!" In a haste he ran off to warn the citizens of the woods about this threat. Hopelessly, the Dark Faerie gave up on trying to get him and vanished in a cloud of smoke. As he ran, Peinguane saw a gold object lying by a tree. The card!!!! as soon as Peinguane picked it up, in a flash of light, he was in front of the Light Faerie's tower, card in hand. Nervously, he knocked. The door opened. It was the Light Faerie answering the door herself! "You found my card! I knew you could do it!" she invited him inside. "Peinguane, we faeries realized that, with the right training, you could become the champion of the Battledome." The faeries decided to begin by giving him a noble name. They thought and thought, until the Water Faerie said quietly, "how about Peinguane the Persistent?" It was agreed, and so, the five Faeries of good began to train him, and, as some stories go, this is one that may never end, for what has been read is only a few pages in the story of this persistent Neopian.
