	Neopia's Forgotten Settlement - Delving Into Neovia For years the small town of Neovia in the Haunted Woods has flown under the radars of most Neopians. Hidden away from view by the shadows of the wispy trees that surround it, the quaint community is still said to be home to a dedicated cohort of residents, working to keep their distinct way of life a reality, rather than a relic of the past. by whale_56

"Kismet's "Easy" Job" by lugal222
“I t will be an easy job,” she said, Kismet thought with a groan as he stared at the fourteen swords pointing at his face. Three weeks ago, Kismet had been approached by an old Lenny. She hid her face, but Kismet could tell she was important; they way the Lenny spoke left no room for argument, so when she told him he was going to steal something for her, Kismet knew he would do exactly what was asked of him. To be fair, she spent the first half of their meeting buttering him up, talking about how he was the best Stealthy Krawk around and telling him about how she had heard of his exploits and was impressed. However, Kismet didn’t think his background of sneaking into places he wasn’t supposed to be and taking photos really qualified him to steal an item for her, but somehow she swayed him and so he found himself here: balancing precariously at the edge of a cliff while fourteen swords, and their owners, were ready to attack him.

Avatar Goldmine
Whew, that was close, Rysony mused to himself as he made his way into the belly of the ship. The vessel was nearly packed to the brim, most likely with Altador Cup spectators who were heading back home after a very eventful weekend. Edited by rabbits_forever
