IGNORE THE FACT THAT I BARELY LOOKED UP DETAILS FOR THIS CHAPTER! Kthx. 8D
At any rate, I did actually look up a few things, although I have no idea if that will show or not. Mostly this was a way to demonstrate that the names I give my creatures are obscure at times, and I highly doubt anybody would know the reason behind most of them.
About two months into my magus-hood, I learned the existence of things called quests. Upon hearing about them, I immediately stumbled around looking for them. Before, I had taken glances at the world map, but hadn't actually taken the time to explore the areas marked on it. This time I tried, and I was stunned at just how many there were to be done! I took up what appeared to be the easiest one, A Romantic Request.
The questions were simple, as I could find the answers in the texts I was provided with when I began being a magus. For my correct answers, I was rewarded with an unusual creature for a "romantic" quest. I had gotten a hellhound. It is at this point I would like to note that my friend who had shown me this life began to freak out and demand where I received it, as she had only heard of quests, but had no idea how to undertake them. I must admit that I felt quite accomplished and my ego was once boosted, as I must admit I have a knack for digging up the most random and intricate of information. I must also add that I named the girl who hatched "Krok", after a hellhound I had known long ago, although he was male.
The next quest I went to after hatching my young hellhound was called The Travelling Prophet. I had been told that I would be rewarded with not one, but two precious creatures upon this quest's completion. Excited about this, I rushed to find this so-called prophet. I was told by this prophet that he required me to deliver a telvian panther egg to him. This was simple enough, as these eggs frequented the stream. I spent some time by the shore of it with my ever-faithful Charlie, and I managed to catch one of those eggs with little effort. Once I had delivered it, I was given two vials of a magic ale. These I was to take to the Caves of Nareau, the Etain Desert, or to the Jungle of Raza in order to retrieve my ultimate reward for this quest. I had already decided where I would go. First I went to the Caves of Nareau, where I poured the ale into a small, trickling stream. The waters produced a pearly white egg. The second place I visited was the Jungle of Raza. Here I found a shallow pond beneath a waterfall, where I poured the other ale. A deep green egg emerged. The two hatched up fairly rapidly, and I was thrilled to find they were a male and female, respectively. I named them Herald and Minerva, after a couple from a play I had participated in once.
I could go on all day about my adventures with these quests, but I would prefer not to bore my audience with all the little details. So allow me to say that slowly but surely I have gone around the MagiStream world and have completely every quest available to me. I will say that I will go into more detail on two of them, but that is for a later date.
P.S.
If you think those names are odd, just wait 'til you hear what I named my six hippocampi!
