	An Angel and A Devil Faerieland was at its absolute best. In the month of Gathering, leaves were beginning to turn their autumn colors and a brisk wind blew. Evening had fallen and while the festival had officially ended, some were still enjoying themselves. by 77thbigby
	Stuck The first breath was the hardest. They call the last breath ‘the death rattle’, but the first after dying is more than that, worse than that. The shock of it is only half the trouble. It’s like a small fire, or some sort of explosion, igniting in your chest. I saw a ghostkerbomb go off once, with a piercing white fire. It felt the way that bomb had looked. by placebo_533
	The Free Good Doctor, I recognize your name in the more sinister spaces of Neovia. It seems I’m unable to turn my troubles to any of my companions without having your notoriety run through the atmosphere. Thus, though as a proper Neovian I should be avoiding this entirely, I have decided to conspire with the forbidden. by cherishtwilight
	Caring for Kadoaties Despite the piercing cries of the Kads, this was a dream job for one little Krawk named Kenadee. She had always wanted to work with Kadoaties as they were her favorite petpets in all of Neopia. And after all, they did need someone to tend to them while their owners were on vacation. by atreyu_rules87
	Shattered I cannot remember. My memory is shattered. Shards of scenes flit through my thoughts, never enough to form a full image. There is nothing here. I briefly wonder how I am breathing before pushing the thought aside. Better to worry about what to do. by katie_kitkabug

Gourmet or Gross: A Foodie’s Guide

While ordinary Neopians in the past have turned their noses up at the mere mention of gross foods (and, of course, the smell), the recent foodie movement has brought gross foods back into the spotlight. Gross foods have been welcomed back onto dinner plates all across Neopia. Whether you’re sick of your usual bland diet of Neocola and Aisha Cheeseburgers, or if you have already exhausted your repertoire of gourmet foods like chocolate coated blue cheese and black caviar, “gross” foods are the perfect category with which to expand your palate and bring some excitement to your meals. That being said, there are still many gross foods that you do not want anywhere near your refrigerator or your plate. I have both the discriminating palate and culinary expertise to guide you through the world of gross foods—the dishes worth tasting, and the ones that you should immediately toss in the trash. Without further ado, here are the results of my gross food taste test.

Dances With Werelupes: Part Two
The Werelupe King peeked his snout over Terra’s shoulder. “Lady Illusen…” he grumbled. “I was not expecting to see you here.”

“The sentiment is mutual,” the Faerie said, folding her arms and tilting her head, looking down at him like a disapproving parent.

The crowd always gasps when I appear on the pitch. Then they cheer, they’re greedy. You can almost hear their eagerness salivating in their roars. They know that the teams are dreading seeing my purple and black form rise off the pedestal.
