I know we're probably meant to assume she cast a spell on him, but I really want to believe she just got the heaviest book she could find and bludgeoned him over the head with it

DaROOgan - Neopets Fanfiction

“Why, why, why did I agree to travel with him?” Lord Darigan thought to himself as the jovial blue blumaroo chattered excitedly next to him on the deck of the ship.

Of course, Darigan knew why. King Altador and Fyora had summoned all Neopian leaders to the Altadorian shores and, ever since the war had ended, Darigan Citadel had been banned from having implements of war, up to and including sea vessels. Nevermind that, as a floating citadel, they had never had any to begin with, but leave it up to that buffoon King Skarl to make such a rule.

King Skarl. That was the other reason. Without a ship of his own, Darigan had been forced to rely on joining someone else’s travel and he’d sooner eat a meowclops whole than spend any amount of time with that useless man. Especially with Skarl’s current state of morose infection. Darigan was sure they would find a way to blame him and his people for it in due time. Whenever something went wrong in that two-bit country tract of land, Darigan found himself being dragged in and undergoing endless questioning. It was exhausting. That much suspicion still, after all the years, after he had helped…

Darigan rested his long fingers on either side of his temple and exhaled a long breath. It was the first sound he’d made in hours and the blumaroo beside him gasped in delight.

“Did you see it?!” King Roo asked, bouncing slightly.

Lord Darigan narrowed his eyes, contemplating returning to his silence, before deciding he might as well accept his fate.

“Did I see…what?”

“The giant kazeriu, of course,” King Roo replied, “Large Shenkuu petpets, they grow to ten or more times their normal size in these waters. We’ve been trying to spot one and I thought you finally had!”

“Ah…no. I was merely lost in thought.”

The smile on the king’s face faltered for half a second, almost imperceptibly, before it returned to its usual beaming curve. “Are you worried about the infection? I know it has spread close to your homeland. I’ll admit, I’ve felt fear myself as more and more of the shop keepers in Neopia Central have fallen victim. We share a rainbow, you know.”

"Of course it’s a rainbow," Darigan sneered internally. “I’m not worried about the infection itself, but the trouble it will bring me. Our truce with Meridell is tenuous at best.”

“Even all this time later? The war was decades ago!”

Darigan sneered externally now, “Yes, well, Skarl may forget how to spell his own name from time to time, but he has the memory of an elephante when it comes to grudges.”

King Roo surprised him by releasing a bright chuckle. “Oh, yes, I have heard that about the good King! There’s a reason the wheel of knowledge is not in his land.”

Lord Darigan smirked at the blumaroo beside him. “Your majesty! What would you people think of that kind of talk from their ruler?”

Roo waved a hand, as if clearing the question from the air, “Lord Darigan, just because Roo Island is a joyful place does not mean we don’t appreciate a good-natured ribbing! You know…your relationship with Skarl isn’t too dissimilar from my own with a denizen of my land.”

Darigan tilted his head, large ears perking up with interest. He admittedly knew very little about the small island nation.

“Count Von Roo,” King Roo explained, “I have reason to believe he hails from the Haunted Woods, but has lived in my land for as long as any can remember. He moves in the shadows, and operates a dice game.”

“But, don’t you…”

“Run a dice game as well, yes. We aren’t so different, he and I. But it took a long time for me to see that. I was so focused on trying to expel him from Roo Island that I didn’t realize the benefits he brings to my…our…land.”

“Benefits?”

“Well, he creates a space for the thrill seekers in Roo Island that would otherwise have no outlet. We create a kind of balance, he and I.”

“Why does he not travel with us, then,” Darigan asked, accusation in his voice. Those in the shadows were often left to languish there, even by those who would speak well of them.

King Roo took the harsh tone in stride and smiled a bit wider, “My dear Lord Darigan, he is a vampire. And the Altadorian shores are known for their sunlight, are they not?”

Darigan’s purple skin darkened slightly in a blush, as shame crept up his stomach. “I…apologize. I only meant…”

The blumaroo king reached out and touched his hand, warmth and understanding in a simple act. “It is alright. I understand.”

Darigan opened his mouth to respond, but in an instant the King had pulled away and run to the side of the ship.

“There! There it is!”

“There…what is,” Darigan asked, confusedly balling his hand the other had just touched into a fist, trying to preserve the warmth he had felt there.

“The kazeriu! Oh, come see!” King Roo beckoned him over.

Darigan made his way to the side and looked to where Roo was pointing. He shook his head, “I don’t see anything.”

“Look harder. They say they only appear to those who believe. It might sound silly, but just…believe me.”

There was that warmth again. Darigan looked out again, trying perhaps the first time in his life to find the beauty in Neopia. And, in a flash, the glittering purple scales of a huge kazeriu appeared in his sight.

“I…I see it!” Darigan shouted, a delighted laugh bubbling up in his throat. How long had it been since he laughed? He didn’t know. Maybe he never had until now.

“Roo…” he began, hesitantly, “Why did you allow me to join you in this journey?”

King Roo turned, and smiled brightly at him, “Because, Darigan, there’s no ship quite as wonderful as a friend-ship!”

Darigan’s fingers raised once again to his temple as he let our an exasperated sigh. This is going to be a long trip, he thought to himself. And yet, he felt a smile lingering on his lips as he and his new, unlikely, friend turned back to the sea to watch the waves.

"Family"

I find it interesting that these are the two Faeries that have feathered wings, I can't remember any other Faeries that do so (but maybe there are?)

If the rumour I heard is true then this will be very interesting... 🤭

Neopets : The Void Within!  We've been working hard on the new neopets plot it kicked off this week. Let us start with some concept art and the evolution of our title logo designs. In the beginning we were referencing nasa and space logos, a simple shape that slowly turned into a more detailed version we settled on. The background layout is from the advent comic. I'll be showing off more concept art and graphics I worked on throughout the event, so stay tuned and I hope you get a chance to play and follow this story!
