Winter in Mystery Island

Ever wonder what winter is like on Mystery Island? Well, normally it’s not much different from summer – clear skies, hot sun, cool waters. But one year was different – that was the year of The Incident.

A Kronborg Christmas Eve

The large royal coach came to a stop in front of the gate to Brightvale Castle. Solarin, Brightvale's official Royal Steed, lowered his head; the load had been much heavier than usual, and he was exhausted from pulling the carriage through fifteen centimetres of fresh snow.

Carolling Adventures

“Fa la la la LAAAA!” Carole the Shoyru belted as loud as she could. Her voice echoed off of the walls of the Ice Caves, travelling through the slopes and, in Carole’s mind, spreading holiday cheer to all of Terror Mountain’s residents.

"Borovan Black Hole" by illogicalatlas
Unless you care for skiing, the Month of Celebrating is not really a highlight in any sport. That’s common knowledge. Most Neopians often find themselves preoccupied with one of two sets of activities. Either you could focus on the glitz and glamour of sparkling lights, lofty gifts, and hitting the right note while singing with your guildmates. Or, you could take a lift up to the tallest mountains with the sole goal of rushing yourself down those mountains as quickly as you can. Lather, rinse, and repeat until your paws or claws or fins grow numb, then cosy up in the Valley with good company and better food. All the norm, that is, unless your name is Tobias Sigmir. Then you might just happen to know a little better than that. While the big leagues were resting their laurels, there was a small, but promising Gormball Little League match coming up between two teams in Happy Valley. A blip on the calendar that most would overlook. Which should have made it the perfect opportunity for the Ixi to sneak in, to go unnoticed, and to simply enjoy the sport as a fan. Surely, Yooyuball was the very last thing on his mind when he planned this trip. Yet, here he sat. A hot cup of borovan in his hooves, and the familiar scowl of a certain Maraquan Acara directly across from him. “Does this place seriously not have a Rambus Cream Latte…?” Elon Hughlis grumbled as he flipped through his menu. Tobias tilted his head as he leaned forward slightly, trying his best to keep up an air of professionalism. Of all the Pets that could have spotted him in the hustle and bustle of the Mountain’s busiest season, it just had to be the infamous captain of the Maraquan Mermaids.
