I lived capturing faeries and holding them prisoners in small Pickled Olive jars. I tormented young NeoPets in the battledome and lived as a loner my whole life.


Some don't think of my as being kind, or young. But, I was. Long ago. Infact, if you're willing to stick around long enough, I'll tell you.

"Balthazar, get in here now. I can't clean up this NeoHome all by myself you know! Don't you car about anything?" My mother, Myrinna's voice glared in my head as I groggily stretched and opened my eyes.


It was 5:37 in the morning.


I whined but dragged myself down the creaky steps in our Mystery Island home. Thanks to my father's former colleague we got to live in the brand new Mystery Island (now do you realise how old I am?). Of course, my father was well, dead, he had died when I was a small 247 hours.


As soon as I reached the kitchen, the smell of cooked Mynci filled my nose. I sniffed the air with delight and was met by my mother's glare.


"I can't do everything around here you know. It's not all about you, Balthazar! I have a life to live as well as you! You have to realise I can't do everything for you. You're almost 100 days old."


"I know, Mother."

"I know you do." She kissed the top of my head and in a softer tone asked me what I wanted for breakfast.


"I guess whatever." She looked at me. "Cooked Mynci," I replied, sliding into the bamboo chair. She smiled at me in that mothering smile that could melt any heart. I grinned a lopsided grin.


That would be the last time I saw her.


A/N: Short. Want me to continue? This was SUPPOSED to be a one chapter story but my Neopets are making me drawl on. So, read and review and me a good Neopian =D
