PART 1
The Discovery
The car exploded. I was walking down a cobblestone path when I heard a loud noise. I ran to where I saw a thrashing fire. I gazed in amazement. A little blue shoyru sat in a little wicker basket in a neatly folded baby blue blanket, swaying in the waves of a river. I ran as fast as I could. I tripped over a stub of a tire and fell. I reached out to grab the small shoyru...farther...just a little farther...I got her! I grabbed the wicker basket and pulled it toward me. I lifted the basket from the water. I looked over my shoulder at the burning car. I began to cry. "Poor little shoyru...I'll take care of you." I stood up and walked to the cobblestone path. I sat on the rocks and used the tip of my stained red shirt to dry of the shoyru. I tucked my shirt back in my pants and stood up again. I set the basket next to the bridge. I walked over to the burning car. I kneeled down by a license plate reading "Deildude". What a great name...Deildude. That's what I will call her...Deildude. I walked back over to the little blue shoyru, and began walking home. Unfortunately, I never really had a home. I just lived by the Auction House in Neopia Central. I hid behind the little tree. When no one was looking, I would peek in to see all the auctions. So I walked over the cobblestone bridge to the auction house. I crept in the little hole of dried leaves I had made the past year. I tried to stay warm; yet trying to keep Deildude warm was a harder task. Finally, when night came and the auction house shut down for the night hours, I grasped some of the tarp and covered our shivering bodies as we fell asleep. When morning came, I awoke to a loud creek. The auction house was up and running bright and early in the morning again. I covered Deildude in the crisp blue blanket and tucked her in the basket. "Wait here. I have to get us something to eat," I whispered to her as I tiptoed away. I walked to the Money Tree and asked "Any good food today Money Tree?" He smiled. "Yes. I saved you some omelettes and I found something..." My eyes widened. "This is called a codestone. You collect and use these to make your pet stronger. And here. I saved this healing potion for you." I thanked The Money Tree and gave him a hug. "I will see you tomorrow! Bye!" He smiled and waved as he passed out donations to other needy neopians. I walked back just in time. Deildude had just woken up. I gave her 2 2/3 full omelettes, and I ate the last 1/3. I stood up. Picked up the basket and headed out. I needed to speak to Coltzan, Coltzan who guarded the Shrine. I walked 10 miles from Neopia to The Haunted Woods. There, at the first gate, We were captured, Deildude and I, and taken to the Witches Tower. "You...how dare you stumble upon the lands of scare and doom!" she continued to say in a harsh raspy voice. "I didn't mean it...honestly!" I tried to stay calm. "Well, I will accept this apology...where are you going?" "We were headed to the Lost desert to get to the Shrine...Coltzan's Shrine." "Ahhh...everyone goes for the Shrine. Oh well, I will send you down to the Esophagor. He will tell you where to go." She showed us the way to the Esophagor, and we were off. I walked up and out of the rotten tree stump came a sighful yawn. "Excuse me, Mr. Esophagor, Which way to the Shrine...Coltzan's Shrine, sir?" I was so frightened of asking the stump anything. "Go southward....take a left at...you know what? Nevermind. I will not tell you." "WHY NOT?!" I screamed. "Because you need to do something for me...something small." "What will that be?" he responds. "Get me an organic carrot. Come back with it, and I will have my fetcher take you to the shrine." So I turned to the wicth. "Please, help me. I need an organic carrot!" Without a word from her being said, an organic carrot appeard. "Thank you so much!" I ran down and deildude was still laying in the basket around my arm. "Here! Here is your carrot! Take it! Now please, let me go to the Shrine!" Just like that, the fetcher appeared and we rode off on a broken wooden sleigh with dust. As the weather became hotter, water became scarce. Luckley, we stopped by the delta near the shrine. I filled the empty cantine the fetcher gave me with salty water. When I turned around, he was gone. I walked to the shrine. "Dear Coltzan, I need your help. Help my new pet here, and please help us surpass this terrible time for us. I need to travel, just to survive. I can't stay behind that Auction House anymore! I want a real home. A real home!" "Yes. I know you need help. I shall help you. Here is a codestone. And some fine cooked food. And here is 100 nepoints. Take this note, and hand it to the teacher in the Krawk Island Academy. he should give you a dubloon and send you forth. Good luck my child." "Thank you dear Coltzan. A lot." And then he snapped his fingers, and I was standing in the classroom of the Academy. "Good mornin to yah lassy. Who is this little feller?" "This is Deildue. I am traveling the world to keep us alive sir. And here, Coltzan gave me this note. He said to give it to you." "Yes...mmm....yes. Here. ONe Dubloon coin. Now, Onto another Island ay? Yes....okay. I will send my 5 finest men on my finest ship. And off you go now! Mystery Island awates you and your dearest pet lassy!" He boarded us on the ship and we were off.
I fell asleep too long to notice Deildue had been taken from me. They put her in a cage in storage. WhenI woke up, I was being set on the docks. Next to me, Deildude lay asleep. I sat up. She woke up and sat up. I wiped my eyes. She wiped her eyes. I began to giggle. She began to giggle. I stood up and grabbed the cage. She stood up and fell down. I sighed. I walked up he docks to the shore and saw a mative tribe. They opened Deildude's cage and she walked out. I was afraid Deildude may run away. She walked a little. Then looked back at me over her shoulder and winked at me with a thumbs up sign. We walked to the Training school. I dropped Deildude off to learn and become stronger. 3hours later she came out. WOW! She looks more healthier and stronger and well, better! I didn't want to watse time. The tiki tak man pulled us right over to his game. Something called Tombola. I took a raffle number and played. I won! I got 2 codestones and 300 neopoints! What a great game. We had to leave and fast to keep traveling. So we headed out to the docks. The Tribes and Natives wanted us to stay, but they new we had a journey to full-fill. So, They used their minds and summined a giant space ship...Deildude began crying. I held her tight as we floated up into the light f the ship. Deildue was sent to work in the Grundo Cafe. So I followed. She cleaned dishes in back. I talked to an enlarged Grundo. He seemed to be the leader of the ship. "Why am i here? I have to continue my journey!" I began to cry. "We are taking you to a place called Terror Mountain. There, you may continue," he replied. "Why can't I just take a boat...this scares me!" I shrieked. "This is faster, and sorry, but this is the way we aliens work and look. Hey, we are living right?" "Yeah I guess." I sighed. I heard Deildude. I ran back to help her finish. "We are here. PLease step on the colored plate below the lazer beam." Deildude went first. She looked back at me over her shoulder and winked at me with a thumbs up sign. I followed. We stood together. I picked her up. The floor opened up and we started falling. We were going to hit an ice berg. Two Chias screahed below. "We are here to help you! I am Mika!" said the short blue chia. "And I am Carassa! We will catch you in the tarp!" The tall yellow chia said. "Yes yes! We will catch you in the tarp!" Said Mika. That's exactly what they did. They showed us around and took us to the bottom. "We heard you won't stay long. So We will board you for meridell tomorrow. Not far from here," said Carassa. "Oh no. Not far from here," replied Mika. Here. Stay in this little Wintery Petpets store until tomrrow. We will come get you in the morning. And they did so. At dawn, they woke us up. "Dawn is the best time for traveling," said Carassa. "Oh yes. The Best time for traveling," replied Mika. And with that, we left. Deildude hated the colkd weather. So they gave her sleepy pills. Theyteleported us straight to Meridell. I landed in a bush. While on the other hand, Deildude landed in the arms of a walking lady. "Hi I am Illusen. what is your name little baby?" she said with a sweet voice. "D-d-d-e-i-l-ld-d-d-u-d-e." Deildue never spoke before! Atleast now she can say her name! "Deildude, huh? Where is your mommy Deilude?" Deildude pointed her finger at me and began to laugh. I had bush brancheds stuck in my hair. "Deildude!" I screamed and ran for her. "I am so happy you are safe! Thank you miss!" I said with a thankful attitude. "You are very welcome. Welcome to Meridel." The nice lady named Illusen gave Deildude a little green dog...called a puppyblew. Deildude named it Trixy. "Mika and Carassa told me about your journey. So, you traveled the world just to survive? That is a very hard thing to do. Everyone has to chip in for you to do that," Illusen said. "They did. I just have to get back home. I miss that little hole I lived in behind the Auction House...It was all I had. Now, i feel like I have lost it all because I left it for so long. About a year now. I wish was home!" I cried. Deildude cried. Illusen said "Your wish can be granted you know. I am a faerie...the Earth Faerie as a matter of fact." "You are?! Could you get me home?! Maybe? PLease?!" "pweese?" Deildue said in a squeaky voice. I smiled. "Yes," was the simplest reply she gave us. We stood on the edge of the wooden brige. People from all over came to see us go home. People from Meridell/Darigan, Space, Terror Mountain, Mystery Island, Krawk Island, Haunted Woods, Lost desert. And Illusen said "Send them home..." And they all waved good bye. Deildude screamed, "Uh-Oh!" We weren't home...we were ina dino land! Some Chomby came over and said "boo?" We screamed. The Chomby began laughing. Deildude and I ran to the shore. I ship with the word 'Marqua' on the side had open doors...We ran onto the ship. I always was afraid a Dino would eat me...now thinking one would eat me and Deildude! The Submarine was going so fast underwater. So fast that when we came to the beach of neopia central, The Marquan ship crashed. We swam ashore. The marquan ship went back to it's spot, when then we heard, Marqua, had sunk. Deildude ran to the little hole behind the auction house. I followed. We hugged. "We are home little one," I said begining to cry. "Home..." Deildude repeated. "Home is in my heart," she said slowly. "Yes Deildude, our home is your heart."
