"Look here, Victor! I am not going to stand by and watch the oldest siblign talk down to his younger siblings like that! You should be ashamed of yourself! Despite the Eyrie standing a good foot above her, Miraja puffed out her chest and stared right in his eyes. She HATED seeing ANYONE yell at their younger siblings like that. However, someone else had just arrived; a White Lupe, standing around five-and-a-half feet tall to Miraja's five feet. He was clad in white armor with a golden Meridell shield on the chest.
"Erm, excuse me, has anyone seen... Oh, there you are, Miraja! ... Oh, God." The Lupe noticed Victor bickering with his fiancé. "Miraja, what did you get yourself into this time..." Hunter ran over to his bride-to-be, who turned to face him.
"Hunter! This... Pygui has been yelling at his sisters, and hecalled me flea-bitten! I'm not going to let anyone talk like that to his siblings or me!" She crossed her arms. As brave as Hunter was, he knew that when Miraja was in one of her moods, it was best not to anger her.

"I wasn't yelling at my sister, she's crazy!" Victor pointed at Miraja "I take great care of my little sister, i feed her and sled together in winter!" Victor said in a quite desperate tone, he was a bit nervous close to a tall Meridell knight "I always invite her to come here with me so she can make her c-comics a-and we always play puzzles together, cook and I can call myself almost like a father!" Victor said, remembering all the good times they spent together "Kim can tell you that it's truth! She knows how I care about Saly!" he pointed at the red Xweetok that was still sitting on the desk, she smirked with some sort of evil grin "Oh no, sir...Victor neglects his little sister a lot..." Kim giggled "THAT"S NOT TRUE! I SWEAR! Aw brother T_____T" the eyrie sighed

Schala turned to the Hissi.
"Listen," she whispered. " If you really are a fortune teller, you can tell me something about Queen Fyora. See, I don't think she's really supposed to be queen. I think the Darkest Fae-"
Mima interrupted her. "Enough about the Darkest Faerie already! ENOUGH!"
"Mima!" Schala was annoyed.
"Oh, come on," her sister said. "Who would believe that Fyora did all the bad stuff to Altador and blamed her older sister?"
"How do we know that Fyora's version is true?"
"Okay, stop," said Mima. "This little obsession of yours has gone way too far. And we're not talking about it in front of sane Neopets who know real history!"
Schala looked sad. This was only thing she and Mima argued over. Other than that, they absolutely adored each other. Now, if her sister would only look at her...

Hunter slapped a paw to his forehead and gazed eye-to-eye with Victor. "Alright, will someone please tell me what in the name of the First Lightbringer is going on here?!" Miraja was tapping her foot impatiently. She started muttering some Shenkuuvian words at Victor, her normally warm eyes focused and cold. "... You do NOT want to know what she's saying." Hunter then decided it would be best if he and Miraja left the siblings alone and talked for a while.
Fang smirked. "Ooooh, I know my history! For example, long, long, long, long before you two were born, there were horrifying creatures known as humans, who looked like Faeries without wings! And they were all sacrificed to the TIki God, Mumbo Pango! And then they were reborn and slaughtered in a Ski Lodge!" Fangs eye twitched for a bit, but then he returned to a state of semi-composure. "Do you want your fortunes told, or what?" He placed out a clawed hand expectantly. "My fortune-telling services don't come free, you know."

"That's...very interesting," Mima said. She decided to help her sister out a bit. "Can you predict if my sister is going to break what she calls the 'Curse of Altador'?"

"Oh, let me see... The Curse of Altador can be broken by... Giving me some Neopoints." Fang smirked. He knew there was no such thing as a Curse of Altador, and had a hilariously devious plan. This is going to be good, he thought to himself, as his shadow started rubbing its hands in anticipation of the mayhem they were about to unleash.

"Um..." Mima said. What did he plan to do with these Neopoints?
She decided to ask. "What's the money for, anyway?" The clever Acara certainly didn't want to get involved in...well...a plot.
Schala, who was of a slightly more timid personality than her sister, drank her Chokato slushie in silence. Still, she had questions, just like Mima. Why had this Hissi suddenly started talking to them? And what was his name, anyway? Was he really a fortune teller? She'd bet a billion Neopoints he didn't know squat about her speculations on the Faerie Queen.

"You pay fortune tellers to tell you things, you silly Central Neopian!" Fang smirked. Central Neopians were so easy to trick. "Plus, I can give you the steps on how to break the curse!" His shadow had finished devouring the shadow popcorn, and seemed to be holding back laughter.
Hunter and Miraja had walked away from the bickering siblings "Miraja, you shouldn't have listened to Victor. He's just-"
"A bully." Miraja crossed her arms. Calleing her-flea-bitten was one thing, but saying such a thing about her entire species had really gotten to her.

(THird person from now on, it's much better XD) "Aww, too bad that knight didn't punish you for your behaviour, Vick..." Kim smirked at the eyrie "Look Kim, don't make me look like the bad guy here! You know that you're the one who is egocentric and bullies the young ones!" Victor said with severity "I don't bully Sally, but I know that I'm superior!" the Xweetok crossed her arms and legs, trying to make the most "superiority pose" she could "Did you resolved your problems with royalty?" Saly asked, coming back from the editor's office, now she was only holding Lemondrop "Not really...." Victor said looking down "I'm sory I yelled at you..." he grumbled, Victor was sorry of course, but he still felt as if his pride was being hurt every single minute he spent there "Not a problem, today is not your day." she smiled at him, her brother overreacted to many things, speacially when he had to study for tests or deliver an imprortant novel in time "Oh, and you need to say sorry for me too! I was in such a good mood when I came here, but your insults were really irritanting..." Kim said "...Yeah, you're not the best rose in the bouquet but....sorry." Victor mumbled looing down again, asking for forgiveness is not his kind of thing since he dosen't do any bad stuff often "DId your comics got accepted?" He asked, changing the subject "Oh, I don't know...the editor will read them later and--....OHMIGAWSH! IS THAT A MERIDELL'S KNIGHT?!" Saly asked after seeing Hunter and Miraja, dragging her sinblings with her "MR. SIR KNIGHT LUPE!!" she called, finally coming close enough to talk to the lupe, she was incredibly small close to him "Mr. Sir Knight Lupe! ThisissoawesomeandcoolMeridellisawesomeandknightstoo,doyoumetJeran orTor,didyoutakepartinanywars? " there was so many questions she wanted to ask him, Saly was a fan from knights since she heard about the war, her idols were basically Tor and Jeran! "Excuse my sister, Princess...she's a bit...hyper today..." Kim explained, Victorjust crossed his arms and looked down, no more arguing for him.

"Well, erm, yes. I took part in the Kass Wars; I actually assisted Lord Darigan in defeating Kass. My father, Sir Arthyr, was a war hero during the scouting invasion the Citadel sent years before the first war, and during the First War, and was the one who trained Jeran. However... Kass killed him in battle. And that was after my father had tried negotiating with Lord Darigan for a pact between the lands to end the war; if it wasn't for Kass's betrayal, then there wouldn't have been a second war, and the Orb would still exist." Hunter paused. He never liked to recall that day a messenger had brought his mother the news of his father's death.
Miraja continued her fiance's story. "Anyway, Lord Darigan viewed Sir Arthyr as a worthy opponent, and the only one who could end the war peacefully. Now, Darigan and Skarl hope Hunter can maintain the peace between Meridell and the Citadel." Miraja smiled. "Also, Hunter and I are engaged!" She kissed Hunter, causing him to blush.
"Anyway, I asked Skarl and Darigan permission to wander Neopia to try and ensure that evil never grew too strong. I met a pair of treasure hunters by the name of Tyranno and Vulcan, who helped me assist Hannah in the Ice Caves, and revive the Bori. Then, I came across a Jetsam named Zarkos in the ruins of Maraqua, who I aided in defeating Scarblade. Afterwards, Zarkos and I came across Fang, who had been banished from Qasala for unwittingly placing the curse upon at due to Razul's treachery. And then, Skarl sent me to Shenkuu to meet with the Emperor's eldest daughter." Hunter gestured towards Miraja. "The other three should be here sometime..."

"Okay," said Mima as she handed him some Neopoints. "But we're not Central Neopian. We're Altadorian. Can't you tell?!"
Indeed, the royalesque blue dress she wore (ooc: a pic is on her profile) was a sure sign that one was from a land of magic. Schala wore a lavender dress lined with gold. Both had been knitted in Altador.
"Tell us our fortunes," the Acara said in a tone that was half demanding and half suspicious.

"And your fortunes are... You will be pickpocketed by a band of unruly Feepit. Also, the key to breaking the curse of Altador is to run through the halls of these catacombs in a jester's outfit, yelling 'I FOUND JELLY WORLD!' at the top of your lungs." Fang smirked. This is going to be hilarious.

"THAT'S SO CUTEE!!!" Kim and Saly shouted after receiving the news that Miraja and Hunter were getting married, even Victor uncrossed his arms and to listen Hunter's story "Oh oh oh! Do you have any contact with princess Lunara?" Kim asked with curiosity "And and and King Altador? Do you think there's any possibility the Darkest faerie returns? I swear I saw a statue in Maraqua's ruins that looked just like her!" Saly asked "Indeed, the statue has a weird amulet on it's neck!" Victor said

"Um...what?" said Mima. Was the Hissi trying to turn them into a laughing stock?
"Thank you, but we aren't planning on going to Terror Mountain." She closed her eyes and turned away.
Finally, Schala spoke.
"You think I'm stupid?" she said in a fairly quiet yet firm voice. "You know, I've read the Neopian plots and the hero never acts that silly."
Her voice softened. "Please forgive my sister. She's always that way around suspicious people."

Curses! These two are smarter than I thought I guess I'll have to tell the truth, Fang though. "Ahem. There is no curse on Altador. As a being aligned with Darkness, I know that the Darkest Faerie was responsible for all that happened. Although the Meepits may have had something to do with it. Anyway, I'll be off now. Scrolls to read, worms to eat, all that rot." In a puff of smoke, Fang vanished.
Miraja placed her ahnd in front of her mouth as she laughed. "Of course I keep in contact with Lunara! She is my younger sister, after all! As for King Altador, we last saw him in the Haunted Woods, I think..." Miraja then looked a bit glum. She wasn't very fond of recalling what had last happened in their latest adventure...
