Attic Antics: What’s Going On Up There?

The dry twigs and dead leaves crunched underneath their feet as they made their way along the long, dark path between the Haunted Woods and the rebuilt city of Neovia.

The Tribulations of Major Crandall

The bespectacled Darigan Aisha clad in the purple and black livery of Lord Kass’ army scowled at the green Moehog in a worn brown robe before him. He crumpled a scroll bearing the seal of Darigan Citadel’s new ruler in his hand before slamming his fist against the wall, narrowly missing an ancient, cracked mirror.

Walls of Glass

Glorini’s three-hundredth birthday gala was being held at Faerie Castle and Seshatia had prepared herself accordingly. It was easy to lose track of one’s exact age with faerie longevity, but three centuries was a significant milestone and a perfect excuse for a grand party.

Courier Crisis

Arnie was a well-intentioned Blumaroo with a heart as big as his fist. He wanted people to like him. He wanted the other residents of Altador to welcome him the way he felt others were welcome.

"Those Aren't Pickles..." by legendaryspoon
Much mystery surrounds itself around the gloomy region of Neopia called The Haunted Woods. You can talk to many strange creatures there, such as The Brain Tree and The Esophagor. When you are not talking to these oddballs, you can buy your Neopet a Petpet with a face only its mother could love (personally, I find the Mutant Gangee to be rather unsettling when it fixes all three of its red eyes onto me). You may decide to venture further in The Haunted Woods where your eyes will feast upon many more twisted sights. When you step past the tall iron-cladded gate that allows you to enter The Deserted Fairground, you will see several uncanny games and shops available for your choosing. You may decide to subject yourself to draining your pockets after engaging in sketchy entertainment only to turn up with meager rewards. Only, there won’t be any manager you will be speaking with to get your refund. Such is the way of business in this part of Neopia. If you end up frustrated with your time at The Haunted Woods after such trickery, you may decide to spend your hard earned neopoints at places with more merit. That is where you may turn to the foreboding cave with holes that resemble a face, a giant ax wedged in its formation (who put it there?), stalactites and stalagmites that resemble teeth, and a fiery orange glow coming from inside. If you dare step inside, you will be met with a Ghost Scorchio inside of The Haunted Weaponry store. You may be lucky (or unlucky) and notice that there is a selection of items in stock on the shelves...
