Atilan

It was a bad year. It was the rotting season, and we were weak, but we could survive it as we had survived many bad years. That year a monstrous white bird arrived on the shore.

Triccity's Travels: Mystery Island

I wasn’t sure how far I travelled or for how long before I heard something big heading my way. I couldn’t hide and I doubted running would help since I didn’t know how fast the thing was moving.

The Secret to Apple Bobbing

Ladies, gentlemen, and gentlefolks, I am nothing if not an honest man…” Vandebart intones, committing the words to memory as he enters the Soapbox.

Magnum Imperium: The Candidate

However, there was energy, a magical current that flowed throughout. It was wild and dangerous. It was also unstable; it’s temperature would soar to scorching heights one moment and plummet to frosty depths the next.

Wish-Granting

When it came time for the group to retire for the night, the Chia was among the weariest Neopets in camp, except for perhaps Skyleur herself, and for a moment Skyleur was worried that the Chia would insist on giving up her bed.

The Adventures of Goryx and Xyrog

It seems we have a glitching satellite that managed to send out a rogue broadcast but nothing to be alarmed about, we already have someone on the case to get that fixed and we are back to our regular programming here at the Space Station.

Castle Planner's Journal: 1000 Years

The chiming of distant bells signalled the changing of the hour, and came as a great relief for Lisha as she jumped out of her chair. She had been so patiently waiting to escape the confines of the library.

"The Afterparty Cleanup" by ningkov1
The day after Neopia's birthday celebrations was a time when most were still happily drifting along on a sugary sweet cloud of treats; however, for those in the Cleanup Brigade it was one of the busiest days of the year. Leftover candy wrappers, confetti, gift boxes, party streamers: most of these items were trash, though every year usable goods and even treasures were found by the cleaners. Last year, a newbie somehow stumbled upon a Cybunny Morphing Potion, valued at over 10 million Neopoints! She quickly quit her job and was now travelling around Neopia. Ginger, unfortunately, was not as lucky as that newbie. It was already her tenth year on the job, but she had never found anything worth more than a couple thousand Neopoints. Thankfully, she did find enough items in the trash to furnish her entire apartment! Every day she came home to an eclectic mix of Birthday, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Faerie Festival furniture and goods. As a senior member of the staff, she was assigned to the Haunted Woods today. Fortunately, it was one of her favourite areas (despite the creepiness) due to the nice Neopians that worked at the fairgrounds. She looked around at the dark trees and tried not to listen too carefully to the eerie sounds around her. She could have sworn she heard someone screaming in the distance...

The Initiate
The young red Techo looked up at the towering stone walls covered with hieroglyphs. Some he could make out as saying, “Order of King Coltzan I”, “Temple of King Coltzan I”, “Founder of Sakhmet” and “First High Cleric”. Over the walls, he could see the columns and rooftops of the buildings inside, silhouetted against the light of the sun and hazy in the desert heat.
