"Me, the Rainbow Quiggle over here. Plushies can read
each other's minds and communicate that way," he said.
"Oh. How did you get here?" I asked.
"Pretty much the same way you did. I fell through a hole
and was led here by the Dark Faerie," he replied.
"Dark Faerie?" I asked, puzzled. "They live down this
deep?"
"Yea, they are secret and mysterious ones. They run evil
programs such as this, just to get NP! It's so mean," he explained crossly.
"Do you know a way to get out of here?" I questioned,
changing the subject a bit. I didn't like the sound of those Dark Faeries.
"There is one way, find the Light Box. It counters the
transformation. It was created by the Light Faeries long ago, but it is
rumoured to have been destroyed. So we are stuck". Tears started to run
down his cheeks too.
"Don't worry, I'm sure there is some other way," I said,
semi-confident. Then the crazy thoughts started running through my head.
Was it true, were we really stuck in this form forever? Did the Light
Box exist? I would never be able to see my loving owner and sisters again?
This was way too much for me. I started bawling. I couldn't help it.
"Hey Mr. Know-It-All-Quiggle," piped up a small Spotted
Kacheek Toy "There is no use to just sit around doin' nothin'! Why don't
we at least try? Tonight is a full moon, so we can move around! That's
one of the weaknesses of the spell. A full moon shines light all over
here, and Dark Faeries hate light. For that time, their powers are partially
crippled. Let's try!"
Several other plushies nodded in agreement. "Let's do
it!" they all chorused.
So we all created a little plushie army, with 258 of
us in all. In the process I discovered two other Faerie Usul Plushies!
Three of us were named captain. RainZ32 (the Rainbow Quiggle), and Spotty_Spot
(the Spotted Kacheek) and I were each given 86 men, I mean plushies. Our
plan was to split up, and try to find the source of the Faerie's power.
"That's probably where they keep the box!" concluded
Spotty.
"IF it exists," said RainZ.
"IT DOES EXIST!" insisted Spotty.
I began to see what a hard trip this was going to be.
***
After about half an hour of preparations and arguments,
everyone was ready to set out on the expedition. After getting a talented
Fire Meerca Plushie picked the lock for us (nothing stops those tails!)
we agreed on our routes. RainZ would take the north corridor, I the east,
and Spotty the south. If any of us found anything, we would call each
other through our secret communication system.
I started down my assigned corridor. Now, retracing my
steps from when I was still a NeoPet, this place seemed soooooo scary
and big! What if we didn't get out? What if we were caught? What if....what
if....
While trying to find suitable answers to my questions,
I hear a bloodcurdling scream come from were I had just left. I rushed
back towards the massive gate with the torches. There I met Spotty, who
was perfectly fine.
"Oh my gosh, something has happened to RainZ!" I said.
To be continued...
