Crimson: Part One - Departure
'I geuss it all started out strangely... Heh, I was just a little lupe when I started writing a dairy. My adoption parent had given it to me as a present when I first got there. My parents I may never know... But now I live with my wonderfull new.. owner, as it's called. I really like her. And no, unlike many Neopets, I wasn't born from an egg. I was born from... well, you know. But let me explain to you how I ended up writing my exceptionally weird tale.'
Dear Dairy, today was yet again a rather boring day. Watched television, played some games, had some talking, and pointed out that Chia hunting was bad. Might take a leave towards other places if this boringness doesn't end soon. Anyway, mother talked to me about getting trained. I'm thrilled to know that, as her only Neopet, I might get stronger. Mostly because of the fact that I never fought before, or handled a weapon. Love, Kadecu103.
'Kadecu103, you may ask? Yeah. Before all of this, the people named me Kadecu103. Strange name. I wonder why I got named that way. I was born in a strange colour as well. Most Lupes are born yellow or blue, but I was born blood red. More crimson, actually. How I got my name changed will be stated out later. Now, just read on.'
Dear Dairy, it's a fact. Me and mother will travel along the lands of Neopia in search of something better to do. Mystery Island was starting to bore me anyway. And she didn't win a Codestone at the Tombola again. Didn't find one either, nor a faerie. I geuss that whenever you need them, there's nothing. Proves that Mystery Island isn't all that... 'Mysterious'. Love, Kadecu103.
It rained. It rained hideously hard on Neopia. Her crimson fur was wet and hanging limply, her human shivering in the coldness as she awaited the return of Mystery Islands only ship. It should get back any time now, so they didn't have time to shelter. Kadecu103 glanced up towards her human. "You know, if you stay in the rain like this, you'll catch a cold." Wondersocks shook her head. "Nah. I'll be fine." Yeah. That's what she thought. Just five minutes later she had fainted from coldness. She was brought home by Kadecu and a few other lupes and gelerts. When she woke up, she said that she couldn't go along, and she had to travel alone. Kadecu didn't think much of it, so she decided to take the chance.
The ship wobbled on the ocean's rough waves, as thunder cracked down. Kadecu hid under a table, along with a pair of touring Meerca's. The crimson lupe blinked while glancing towards the Meerca's, never having seen any like them before. Forgetting briefly about the thunder due to curiousity, she decided to ask about them. "Um. What are you..?" she questioned. The oldest male glanced at her, his small, forming beard swaying a bit in the motion. "We are but Meerca's, my child. I see that you have never heard of our species, hnn?" She blushed a bit, glancing downwards, and shaking her head. The oldster laughed a bit, and glanced towards his apparent grandson, whispering something into his ear. The other yellow meerca had smiled lightly, and crawled over towards the lupe. "My names' Taktoy. My clan is traveling through Neopia. We're trying to find a suitable home to settle. Our old home got distroyed by a burning that humans did." He glanced downwards, in grief. Kadecu blinked, tilting her head. "You mean Humans can actually do something like that?" The three meerca's under the table nodded. Kadecu shivered, her tail swaying. She never thought of that being possible.
Dear Dairy, today was a weird day. My owner had suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the day. I geuss she was cold. But I don't think that Neopet diseases can be transferred to humans. I met a pair of .. Mehr-ka's on the ship. They said they needed a new home. Their old colony had been distroyed in a fire. Out of the hundredtwentyfour Mehr-ka's that were in it, only four survived. The fourth was on a journey to find a new home as well. Her name was apparently Kushukishu. Too bad I didn't get to see her. I hope they'll be alright in the world. I wouldn't want them to get hurt again. I never knew Humans could be so distructive. Love, Kadecu103. PS. I got a new nickname. Kadecu.
With a new day, a new weather. The hot sun shined through open windows, and Kadecu winced closed an eye, crawling out of the large fluffy bedding. She smiled a bit, jumping upwards towards the window, her forepaws resting against it as she played with the light. She shut her eyes, enjoying the feel of it, before getting out of her room, padding along the hall towards the deck. Her new Meerca friends, Taktoy, Meicial, and old daffadoil2001, were already outside. Taktoy was laughing happily while chasing Meicial, and daffadoil2001 was snoozing on a bench. She smiled a bit, and glanced over the railing, gasping lightly at the sight of land. She never thought a journey over seas would go this fast. "Look guys, there's land ahead!" Meicial stopped running, making Taktoy slam into her, and quickly spurted over to the railing, standing onto it with agility. She smiled brightly, putting her paws to her mouth and letting out an apparent greeting cry of the Meerca. Kadecu blinked, and tried to clone it the best she could. The howl of the Lupe had awakened Daffadoil, and he muttered, walking over to his room.
'It was a miracle really. I never had been off of land that long. The longest sea journey I had made was two hours long, and now it lasted around twentyfour hours. Little did I know about the lands surrounding Mystery Island, nor did I have any idea about other creatures then Kougra's, Lupes, Draiks, Gelerts and Mynci, now also the Meerca. The Meerca family had told me about the leaving of their friend Cwinc, an Eyrie, and they had even showed a picture of him. I had smiled and laughed along with tales of them, and mourned for their losses. I had never even heard of Krawks, the creatures that inhabited Krawk Island.'
"Destination: Krawk Island. Please take your bags and leave the ship, unless you're planning on getting back to sunny Mystery Island." An announcers voice. Kadecu walked off of the ship, the few Neopoints she had fastened safely around her neck. She didn't need anything other then Neopoints anyway. She could buy food, and it would only go to waste if she brought along any. Clothes were something that looked odd on a Lupe. The Meerca's on the other hand had brought quite a few packs with them. Must be because of the fact that they didn't have a human. She shook her head as she noticed that they were all labeled Meicial. Then she started to wonder about the name of the island. Krawk... it sounded strangely familiar. Before she even noticed, she bounced up against a tall Krawk, and blushed brightly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." She gasped, as the Krawk got up, glaring daggers towards her. "What do you mean, sorry?! You kids these days have no respect for the adults around here! We're hardly seen species, you know!" He huffed, and walked away. Kadecu muttered a bit, and crawled up, dusting herself off with her tail. She blinked, just then noticing the odd looks of the Krawk. Strange. They looked like wingless Draiks.
Daffadoil huffed, having carried along quite a bit of bags. Meicial simply smiled at him, waving her tail as she walked along the crowded streets of Krawk Island. Kadecu had taken the liberty of taking along some bags as well. Taktoy sighed, sniffing in the air of fish and pasta. There was also one strange smell. It smelled like fungus. And these Krawk figures ate it a lot. Made their breath smell. The four blinked, inhaling a sweet smell. Quickly they sprinted over towards a candy store, and licked their beak at the sight of the sweets. Kadecu glanced up towards the Shop's Keeper. He was dressed strangely. Not to mention that he looked funny. He had a small amount of orange hair, something covering his eye, and a red/white striped shirt. He glanced down at her. "Arr matey, what shall it be for ze fare maden?" Kadecu blinked. Then she coughed, pointing to a bag of chocolate chip cookies. "I.. I'd like one of those, sir. If they're not covered in fungus, that is." The Shop Keeper laughed. His whole body seemed to wobble. Meicial shook her head, whispering towards Kadecu. "This here, my friend, is a Chia. Something Lupe's often eat." Kadecu gasped loudly, and stared towards Meicial. "I do not eat a mutated potato!" Meicial shook her head, and grapped the money from Kadecu's neck, paying for the cookies. "Let's go find a place to rest. We'll be leaving again tomorrow. I've seen the scenery here. Too much crowd, and too little large tree's." Kadecu lightly nodded, following as the three went along the streets to something that looked like a house. The lupe couldn't help but start collecting strange looking coins along her way. Who knows, perhaps they could be at use sometimes. Everyone seemed to collect them.
