Hi #VISITOR, welcome to my page! As you can see, this Neopet is a Poogle, a species from Neopia.

Rumour has it that these little guys are somehow related to Kacheeks, but no one knows for sure. Funnily enough, this guy even has a Kacheek as a best friend, or something more. Fate can be funny like that sometimes.

You may be wondering, what is going on? Well, I thought it would be a cool idea that I just talked to you. About what? Well, many things, things you witness, things you hear, things I'm thinking about, whatever else, you name it. I thought this could be a channel for me to talk about certain things that may come up, if you want to listen.

About Me...?

What about me? What more is there to say that I have not said in your witness already? Well, let's say that you have not had the time, or perhaps the chance, to read up on what happened elsewhere, sure, well, let's see...

Well, for starters, I'm a princess. Yes, no joke, I have a royal title. My sister has it too, like a lot of things we have in common, by out duplicate nature. Also, I'm secretly just like you, you see, although I am not from your planet per se, it's more like, my family's from there, so I am like you, although I have never been to over there before, if that is even the correct version of it I'm talking about.

By the way, this is your planet, isn't it? I know, this is a poster for a movie, but I assume this is a movie about your planet being in danger, like many in the same genre.

Speaking of where you are from... How is it? I've heard your kind doesn't treat your own planet all that well, and there are several types of suffering and chaos of its own in your planet, of your own doing as well, no need for my intervention. I've also heard it's a very busy place to be, far more than this world of Neopia, despite all the things that happen and all those villains that come and go. One day I hope to visit my parents' planet one day, although I may be busy then. I've been wondering about your planet, which I think may be mine as well, and, given that I can see the things in this website, I decided to do some digging, to see what sort of things I can learn about your kind, like how everyone looks, and what are they into. I found so much material! So many virtual games, so many movie posters, so many adverts for what seem like fun things! I wonder, would I be able to find these things when I get to there? Will I even have time? I sure hope so, all of this piqued my interest. What sort of things do you mean? Well, let's see... This cool-looking movie... This interesting cartoon... Another interesting cartoon, with a completely different art style. That looks like a cute little robot toy, what do you call... Dog? They sound awesome.

Isn't this all interesting? I thought at least it was as much.

So, yeah, I'm just like you, only a bit different, and distant from your culture, and homeworld.

There's also another thing that distinguishes me... And, well, my sister as well... From you. It's a secret that I have carried since birth, a destiny, one may call. I was gifted with great power, and as your own stories say, with great power... Comes great responsibility. Greater than anything you could ever conceive. And heavier than any crown one could wear... The truth is, I do try to distract myself from the weight of it all, of what I have to do, and what I've done so far, to fulfill my destiny, to win... Because the other option is awful, and since what I do is inevitable and unavoidable, I cannot do anything but abide to it and deal with the consequences.

Which is why I end up seeking out some sources of entertainment at times...

Why Neopia?

Well, to be honest, you have to blame my "cousin" for this. And I guess that one faerie who came over there as well. But mainly the former, him and his treacherous sister left me after betraying me, and while she has gone to who knows where, I have not found her yet (I haven't really been looking either), he was easy to track down, as he always leaves his tracks behind wherever he goes.

These two are sometimes more troublesome than worth it. Even he is an issue, as I have to deal with his volatility and brattiness.

There are also other reasons for me to be focusing on such a world, to begin with that this is more of a pickup and cleanup of a previously failed attempt, than anything. I don't like to leave things pending, you know? And I don't sit well with personal failure. So, of course, I knew I would get eventually back to here, to deal with certain things I left behind after one of my few fiascos. Also, I needed to get back at those who led me to the fiasco, of course, including one that betrayed me just like their original image did eventually, which is why I knew that was bound to happen. I mean, that, and my foresight, although the latter seems to be more flawed than just normal observation. Also, I needed to finish the hack job I had previously done, due to having lost control of the situation previously. What claim do I have to anything if I just start messing things up and not fixing them? I may as well throw in the towel if I start being so sloppy.

My "cousin" thinks he's threatening, but to me he looks like this.

But also, in a less serious note, I mean, I just thought it was fun to revisit this place. Seriously! I mean, just keeping an eye out for other reasons has led me to keep a watch on a whole assortment of slices of lives of very different types, where each one of these Neopets are going through their own trials and tribulations, don't try and tell me you aren't entertained as well? If you've made it so far down this page I would assume you too have dug deep into the records of those happenings in other pages of this site. Just like I am here entertaining you for a moment's worth, these characters too are there to entertain me while I have interest in their world.

Also, the world is just so interesting, I mean, a place where all sorts of wild magical things happen all of the time? With such different and dissonant living situations and civilizations and groups all existing next to each other? With even two entire races of sentient creatures, Faeries and Neopets? Where every five minutes some big threat is about to doom their world, and so their heroes have to valiantly join forces to defeat the evil villain, so that peace and happiness and good can prevail? What more can one ask to watch, right?

I mean, even if I wasn't literally dealing with a ton of stuff that led me to focus in this planet, don't you think it's fun and interesting enough? It's filled with alien creatures living very different but still very relatable lives, dealing with personal problems, personal struggles, societal problems, peer pressures, you name it. I did tell you, I do look for entertainment from time to time, I mean, I'm in a race but not in a rush.

So, in summary, I've got plenty of reason as for why my presence being made in their little world, and universe. Also, don't try and tell me you aren't entertained by me as well. I can play a cool act, can't I?

About the Alien

I mean, look at her. She's so pathetic there, a lowly experiment, tossed into dangerous situations as cannon fodder and entertainment for others. One can only wonder, how did she ever get out of that?

I've got to say. I didn't think I'd care about her. She's just yet another whine in the background cacophony of existence, internally pleading for help that will never come, for luck that would never turn, stripping herself of agency as she accepted long ago that her life would be misery never-ending. She has no choice, she says over and over, and so it becomes her fact of life, always reduced to a tool and a toy, a punchline of a cosmic joke never said, an inversion to a trope of a story that has not been written. If anything, she is an utter annoyance to listen to, always self-pitying, always wallowing, always at the verge and the brink of self-implosion, dragging her feet across the floor as she does the littlest of her duties, and doing them the worst ways possible because she can't fathom succeeding, or thinks she doesn't deserve anything. And so it had been the case, as she had been worming about in the belly of cold metal ships in the colder depths of the unknown, dark void of space for years, slowly self-destructing and corroding away in existence as she was stepped on daily by creatures of far superior malice than she could ever muster, tittering at the edge of her early demise, slowly losing the last of herself and whatever faint, non-tainted memories of her past and self she still clung onto in the depths of her mind. And yet, you find her, years later, alive and an adult, with her one friend from space, and even caring for a child of her species. She was meant to not last long, she herself thought as much, and so did everyone around her that mattered, mainly in the conditions she had found herself in, and yet, she is there, older and alive and with others, living in the world that was once so alien and unlike her original one. That was the first reason, outside of my goals, that my curiosity was piqued. How did she get there? How did the seemingly decided fate that she was deadlocked in get thwarted in her favor?

Her escape seems almost... Inspiring, in some ways. But I can sense that even in the most recent iteration of her that we are following along, that doesn't mean there aren't shadows of the past that still haunt her. I wonder, how easy would it be for one to push her over the edge, if shown the proper invocation to her past helplessness...?

About the Orange Faerie

What do I have to say about her? Besides that she has continued to be a prolonged source of disappointment to me, that is. Perhaps it is partially my fault, I am far too stubborn (don't let Virgil hear me saying this) to give up my hopes that somehow someday I'd befriend someone beyond the four that follow me. I thought perhaps if I kept on attempting different ways to approach her I'd break through somehow, some time, but I keep on getting myself proved wrong, which infuriates me. Countless more times than countless times I've sent my envoys, or even personally greeted her, inviting her to my domain, accommodating all to her whims, and countless plus one more times than countless times she declined to stay in one way or another. Running away, fighting me back, attempting to battle me, conspiring against me, backstabbing me, spiting me, destroying as much as she can get her hands on, and even, ultimately, violently turning against herself, or making me have to deal with her permanently, as last desperate attempts to defy me and snub me off, I have seen more developed hatred come from her than I had wished to ever see. She hates my very nature and duty, which is understandable, but I just wished she could at least once in these myriads of repetitive life cycles of her presence go past that and the consequences of my existence, as I have as much of a duty to play in the grander scheme of things as her kind has to the protection of their home planet and a greater order. But perhaps that is the very reason why she acts like that, which is a shame, I guess one cannot defy destiny and purpose, I would know that. But I still cannot give up on this hope I have, I wish I could reach out and she would be fine with me once, it is hurtful to see iteration after iteration of her rejecting me, when all I wanted was her company, and all I offered at first was kindness...

I can't even say she's the "one who got away," because there's not only one of her. Of course, that knowledge upset her, every time.

I guess this repeating dance is the consequence of yet another inevitability, that of the cyclical nature of all that happens in this place outside of any notion of time as you would know. Things here go round and round, be them by motion or action or feeling or state, and all one can do is watch tirelessly as you come to know what will happen next the moment it all begins. It's a shame, really, everything around me gets caught in these cycles, it becomes old and tiring really quickly once you start recognizing the patterns everywhere. It is yet another reason why I have come to become so detached, and thus lonely, in necessary entrapment. Even those who claim (or claimed) to be my friends have become old, broken records, talking the same things they've talked a long time ago, expressing the same griefs that bothered them when we first met, every dialogue I've heard before, or know they'll say next. Even I have become repetitive in my nature, in my grind to reach the singularity to attend and lead the End of It All. It is all so mind-numbingly, depressingly old and boring...

But I digress now. Anyways, if you wonder, why do I insist on the orange Faerie, why couldn't I have gone for any other Faerie or Neopian or any other being in a universe, I guess it's because despite all of my visage, I've still got... A certain level of sentimentality for the familiar. Not that she is familiar, not the one you see, nor others that litter my domain after meeting their unfortunate ends, she's more of... A shadow of familiarity, an imperfect, lesser echo of someone who I did not get to meet in my younger years, but heard about from those close to me. I don't feel like explaining myself too much, but I felt very uncomfortable at first with reaching out to other, more familiar echoes in the universes I come to visit, because even if they're simulacra of those I knew and grew up with, they're just close enough to my reality to cross a threshold (although I have decided to experiment with said threshold this time, we will have to see how that works out). And even in the case of another one who's close to the orange Faerie, who I had not grown up with but had heard about, I did consider reaching out to that one, but shut it down quickly as I realized that her familiarity to one of those I grew up with was enough to still make me feel uncomfortable to even visualize.

So the orange Faerie was the next best logical solution to my conundrum. Anyways, it just seems like all versions of her are always fated to meet me in one way or another, which just makes sense... After all, what even is her magic, or element, or however her kind calls their natural magical tendencies, outside of the abilities my staff gives her?

About the Twins

I'm not a big fan of him for personal reasons, but at least he's less troublesome to handle than his sister.

Sad little things, aren't they? These two appealed to me in more than one way, their contestations and protestations despite their literal and psychological confinement and constraints calling back to a far distant memory of mine, like a mirror reality where roles are reversed. But don't get me wrong, even if I do feel some pity for them, my necessity of their assistance has less to do with sentimentality, and more with the losses I had previously taken in this reality, where my minions had been hunted down intensively by one who betrayed me. If I could have replaced that traitor creation of mine and his trapped sister with new versions, I would have done so, but I cannot, the sky seal blocks me or any of my creations from breaching into this reality, only observe it. So instead I have to settle for seeking aid from those who pray to anyone for help, and so I have done that, offering freedom to those two in exchange for loyalty. But at least they seem to be helpful so far, although with some caveats regarding their behavior, which I sure hope won't cause me issues down the road, lest I have to deal with them as well.

I knew from long ago that she was the more "spirited" of the two, but I still find her annoying to deal with, as she asks too many questions and doesn't accept answers easily.

But regardless of any hang ups I may have with either of them, I still find them extremely useful. Ever since I let them escape their prison tower at the capital of Faerieland, they have helped with surveying counts of my creations left in Neopia, organizing resources and reactivating the moon base, and are now searching for the ground seal that entrapped one of strongest creations, deep within the dark woods of the main continent of this planet. Pandemonium is already with them, Enkeladia will join them shortly, and the automatons I had created to seek and bring magical artefacts to the portal are already back in function. Everything is happening exactly how I wanted to, and in no time the finality of it all will be triggered.

But I can't give all of the credit to them, after all, if it weren't for my gifts to them, they'd not be able to accomplish even half of what I had tasked to do. Adhara's gift of the all-seeing looking glass is extremely useful in that front, as she can search for anything anywhere if she knows what she's looking for. With her augmented vision and her brother's plotting, they knew what to do and how to instruct my automatons. Meanwhile, Alric's gift was of the all-mighty token, a not-so-strange request if you consider his envy towards his sister's abilities, and it has and will aide him in battle, equalizing them both in might. Also, the two masks I instructed them to wear give them anonymity enough to not have to bother with those who know of them and have been seeking them, as not only their appearances are indiscernible, but also even their magic signatures are masked. And, to top it all off, I have instructed Pandemonium to look after them and attend to their every need, so to ensure their health and wellness, as I don't want them falling ill or weak from hunger or thirst in this long task, that would be counterproductive to my own cause.

They adapt quickly and have been so productive, I am thinking on keeping them afterwards, when it is all done with that universe, bringing them to live with me and my friends. Only I am still not entirely sure on the premise, I do have my reservations towards both of them, but I do not wish to be unfair, and also do not want to lose those resources. I have yet to figure out what would be a good compromise.

About the Child Prodigy

You know what's funny? I remember so clearly being her age, even if it has been not just a lifetime, but many, many an eon ago. I guess that's just the nature of memories, that your first years of life stay with you forever, more than anything that comes afterwards, that's why these years are formative. You know what else is funny? I remember so vividly also having my own controlling, overbearing parent, although in my case it was my father, who was always chastising me for misusing magic and terrorizing others even if not on purpose.

Also, he was more of "do better" sort of parent, than Haute's "mom"'s tactics of just seeping off the excess magic. I mean, she also gets told to control herself, but at least somebody is more positive in the way she treats her own "children" and educates them. I was always in trouble, although I was always the reason for that.

Look at her go! Creating her own little winter storm, what little champ, you go girl!

Anyways, I like her, she's pure, unbridled joy, uncorrupted by the world and its pressures yet. That is, uncorrupted to some degree, I do have to tell off my Kau for his jarring tactics and how he approaches his mission, that automaton has always been kind of brusque, but he really upset my new friend. I am now going to have to work extra hard to try to convince her to come with me after my work is done in this universe you're also witnessing, if she survives it all. If it weren't for the fact he's such a useful automaton of mine, and the only one left that is truly devoted to me and active in that world, I'd have... Well, never mind what I'd have done, that's not for now. To protect her fragile child mind in these events that are unfolding and she'll have to take a part of, unfortunately, I had to work extra hard to create a diversion for her. A place where she can dream awake, and play and experience childlike wonder and happiness while the worst passes. And where I can partake in this happiness and wonder, as a little break from all of my duties. I miss being this age and being not exactly carefree, but much less burdened than I have been from later on. I am glad to have found lying around some of my puppets, that take very different forms and can appear only in very specific situations. The Fairy Princess is the perfect one for this, as she has those dream related powers I can manipulate through her. Not to mention, having her be constantly in this dream state, and with her mind away from reality, aids my Kau and the Faerie twins in their quest, as she's not fighting them back on being led to the seal, when she's not even aware of her surroundings for most of the time. Otherwise, it would be a real pain for them to have to deal with her powerful magic.
