As soon as Pandoria ducked through the vines covering the entrance to her hollow tree, she knew something was wrong. The goddess stood on the threshold, silvery eyes narrowed, and then a shadow talked to her.

“You were very quick, Pandoria.” The voice was rough and hoarse, but feminine, and one Pandoria had been waiting to hear. “Had you and Rae taken any longer, Mistica would have been lost to chaos.”

“Leave, or I will make you,” Pandoria snapped, the grip on her staff white-knuckled, “I’ve tried to reconcile us and all you have done is bring me destruction. You nearly killed Rae and all my people. And what of the poor creatures you so hastily put together? Their auras are fading. They hide underground and in shadows, not even moving.”

Ansidoria snorted loudly. “They did their job, albeit too slowly. What concern are they to me now?”

There was a heartbeat of heavy silence. Anger clenched Pandoria’s heart and she snarled, slamming her staff into the ground so her hollow tree shook like a leaf in the wind. A loud thud told her Ansidoria had fallen. Pandoria strode over to her sister, and the shadow she had been hiding in dissipated, revealing the dark goddess sprawled out and glaring up at her sister with hatred that had tainted her heart for thousands of years.

“You made them!” Pandoria shouted right to those burning eyes, unmoved and unafraid, “They are your responsibility, or should be. I will save them as I saved this world. And you – you will never step foot here again! Keep to your realm of half-made things and chaos, Ansidoria. I want no part of you. As I said: leave, or I will make you.”

The last was a whispered threat, malice that Ansidoria had never heard before. She flinched back but made herself meet her sister’s gaze. “Very well,” she growled, and in a moment shadow had engulfed her again. As it faded away to Pandoria’s light, the goddess only saw floor where her sister had been.

~~~~~~~~~

There is definitely no love lost between these sisters! Thank you for joining in all the fun of Ansidoria's official introduction to Mistica.
If you'd like to learn more about Pandoria's sister, be sure to head to the library and read Mistic Mist, that features her!

Thank you Keshi,  Laufeyson, and Boreal for your work on this theme!

~Mistic Team 

Look at how big Pandoria is getting! We received this picture and some words from one of her favorite trainers, Mark Shukuru!

“I feel great about working with APOPO knowing that I am helping people to lead safe and healthy lives not just in my own country but also in several others. Working here, I believe that there is nothing under the sun that is impossible. I joined APOPO in 2001 as a field attendant but I was given so many opportunities to learn and grow right from the very beginning. I learned to drive and to use a computer before I became a trainer and soon realized that rats can indeed save lives. I am very attached to the animals I train and if I see even a wild rat injured on the road, I feel pain. I feel proud and celebrate when my rats get accredited, perform well and work hard like me. 

Before joining APOPO, I was involved in farming and small business. Back then, I never dreamed that I would work with an international NGO and get so much exposure to the world outside of Tanzania. I did well at the Morogoro training center and was sent to Mozambique to work in the mine action program there. It was very challenging and exciting to work in an actual minefield and I got great feedback from the management on my performance there. I also got a chance to go to Angola to establish the training field for our new operations. My decisions and inputs are taken positively by the organization and I feel that I can grow even more to solve the world’s TB and landmine problems.” 

How amazing is this program? We are honored to be even a small part of suppoting them!

~~~~~~~~~~

And to continue our good news, the Cirrus and Nimbus Jumboyo and Skillow have come to play in the clouds!


Let's give them a round of applause!

Together, Pandoria and Rae stood on the outskirts of Darkwood Hollow. Rae held the box she had made and given Pandoria. Pandoria also held a box; this one was gloomy and grey. Its fluffy clouds were soaked with water that occasionally dripped down the great Braenon’s paw.

Wind whipped through their gowns; their hair was already clinging to them in limp, soggy strings. Thick clouds rolled over thicker clouds, blotting out every corner  of the sky. The ground was already saturated. Ponds had formed where fields had been. And it looked like it was no where near relenting.

However, the two goddesses weren’t alone. Half a dozen Misticpets stood behind them, ready to aid in the magic that was about to be cast.

“Ready?” Pandoria asked Rae, who nodded in response.

At the same time, they opened the boxes. The magical forces that leapt out were so powerful that it was all Rae could do to brace herself as her heels sank further into the mud. Swirling winds from within the boxes pierced through the storm; Pandoria’s Nimbus Box funneled all the grey clouds, drawing them deep within itself while Rae’s Cirrus Box split through the skies, bathing the land in warm sunlight.

The magic didn’t stop there. Their Misticpet allies shifted, changing forms as the boxes’ powers washed over them. Clouds formed beneath their paws and claws, lifting them gently off the ground. A gently yellow glow radiated from the new cirrus Misticpets while the nimbus pets cast their own drizzly shadows.

Everyone could feel the winds shift and stop as the weather was forcefully righted.




“Go, my pets,” said Pandoria. “Travel across Mistica. You have been blessed with these powers; use them well to correct our world’s natural magic.”

With excited cries and whinnies, the Misticpets took off--ready to undo the damaged caused by the defective hachipals. But not only that, these Misticpets looked forward to the future where their abilities of sun and rain will be put to use helping their friends, families, owners, farmers, transporters, and the whole of Mistica.


Even more so, they’re looking for more to add to their numbers with the release of these two new boxes in the credit shop!

Comment below, and two lucky members will WIN a box before the night is over!  Please also take note that each MP transaction over $25 today on Sunday 4/20, will recieve a 10% bonus of MP awarded manually!

“It’s finished!” Rae smiled brightly as she revealed what looked like a box--one of Pandoria’s boxes. It was sunny yellow and warm even though rain droplets still clung to Rae’s head. As Pandoria accepted it, she could tell how light it was--like a cloud. She turned it slightly in her paws as if studying it while Rae beamed proudly.

“What exactly is it?” asked Pandoria.

“A box! Like yours. In fact, I never could have done it without you, so you can call it yours. Think of it as your birthday present,” explained Rae.

“But your powers are in light. How could you ever create something like this?”

“I poured all that excess magic I kept soaking up from the extreme sunlight we’ve been having the past couple of days. Even then, it wasn’t all that easy; it makes me realize how much work you put into things.”

“I am glad to see you feeling better, sister.” Pandoria smiled back.

“Things aren’t over yet, though.” Rae winced slightly, biting her lower lip. “I couldn’t do anything for the torrential downpours. They’re still sweeping across Mistica. Soon even the gargoyles at Metropolis Quarry are going to be underwater.” As if confirming everything she said, giant drops of rain began to pound on Pandoria’s windows.

Pandoria shook her head and immediately turned to her work bench. She carefully set the fluffy box in front of her. “Rae, you’ve given me just the inspiration I’ve been looking for the past couple of days.”

“You’re welcome.” Rae looked flattered.

“I just need your help a little more. Can you go find several Misticpets for me? Brave ones, with connections to the skies.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” Rae said as she left Pandoria to her work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does Pandoria have up her sleeve? Check back soon to find out!

~Mistic Team.

Sweat poured down the furry faces of the priestesses, dripping onto the golden floor that was now bruising their knees. Rae’s temple had become an ornate oven under the bloated yellow sun overtaking the sky and each anyai felt it now, baking in the afternoon heat, calling out to their goddess.

Their fervent prayers did not fall upon deaf ears. Rae could see the sandy expanse that was her domain, all of it at once, and every anya suffering under whatever curse had changed the weather. Their cries echoed in her head until she felt it ready to burst. Heat seemed to build up behind those prayers, flaring up behind her eyes until a horrific pain brought the goddess face to face with the sand.

Rae pushed herself up on all fours and spat out a mouthful of Ravi-Sorin. She had to resist a powerful urge to rub her eyes; it was as if a weight had lodged itself behind each one, trying to push them right out of her head. The fire was a familiar feeling; she carried it with her always, it was the source of her power. But the sun was trying to overtake her now; it no longer fueled her, but burned her right down to her bones.

She needed help.
A spray of sand caught Rae’s attention. She turned and saw one of the cursed skeletal pals digging into the hot earth, probably trying to escape the sun. The goddess could almost feel pity for the creature if her head wasn’t a moment away from combusting. She watched the pal for a moment as it kicked sand in all directions, and then, quite suddenly, realized something.

Rae focused on the pal. Energy flared and raged inside her; she reached out, willing that power into her palm. Her arm shook like a leaf in a hurricane but a moment later the pal yelped as light surrounded it, light so impossibly bright it completely hid the dark creature. The brightness dimmed to form a pulsing golden dome at which the pal shrieked and scratched.
It took Rae a full minute just to stand up without falling. Still shaking, she picked up the cage of light, frowning at the abomination within. Maybe it could help calm the very chaos it helped to create.

---

“I’ve never seen you like this. You look terrible,” Pandoria remarked as Rae all but collapsed onto her couch. The goddess’s forehead was dotted with sweat and she kept blinking, as though her eyes were drying out.

“Something is wrong. The sun…it’s going to turn Ravi-Sorin to glass at this rate! Even I can’t handle it,” Rae wheezed, “But I managed to channel some of the extra energy and capture one of Ansidoria’s creatures. Help me, and I might be able to stabilize the sun at least. But your magic is foreign to me.”

Pandoria stared at the pal. It writhed and snarled in its golden cage, but a closer look revealed it to be shaking all over as well. The goddess frowned. What had Ansidoria done?

The goddesses were quiet for a long while. Rae could feel the sun setting; as the sky grew darker, the fire burned lower in her body, and she breathed easier. It took hours of channeling magic through the pal to determine how it was absorbing and releasing the magic within Mistica, and even longer for Rae to handle it. Then she felt her chest burning and knew dawn approached.

Rae stood slowly. “Hopefully, I will see you soon, and this can be righted,” she said, and left.

And all of a sudden Pandoria realized that, ever since their celestial home had been destroyed, Rae had become her sister and Ansidoria her enemy.

 

Oh Mistica, what wiil we do?

“Hello, Mistica!  Ken Kratork here, your favorite and most attractive news anchor!  Today, I’ll be presenting the weather forecast, because apparently our weather girl’s house is now underwater!  Hah, and she said she wouldn’t go out with me.  Who’s on high ground now, Miranda?

Ahem.

Anyway, as many of you may have already realized -- that is, unless you’ve been inside all day playing Realm of Battlecraft -- the weather has gone completely coo-coo-bananas.  Just this morning, I put on my sunglasses and sunscreen in order to protect my priceless, beautiful visage from the onslaught of sun and heat this morning, but by the time I got out the door, there was a foot of water outside of my front porch!  Luckily, I always keep my yacht tied to my back deck for situations just like this, but many Misticans, including one stuck-up Gourix, were not as lucky.  Yours truly almost got struck in the face with hail, but luckily, I always keep a living shield of my maids and butlers around me in case of projectiles.

If only other Mistica- oh, hold on, I’m getting some breaking news right now.  According to the latest reports sent to MAN, Lake Auberon is overflowing with boiling water due to the cycles of extreme heat and rain!  There is an immediate evacuation order for the surrounding area, so unless you want to be steamed like instant ramen noodles, I suggest you haul tail out of there!

Oh, the mayhem!  What could be causing all of this?  Reports have speculated that the weather seems to be centralized around Pandoria’s workshop in Darkwood Hollow, but considering the last time I tried to get an interview with that temperamental goddess she threatened to turn me into a frog, I suppose all we can do now is speculate.

I will remain on the case until the mystery has been solved, but until then, take comfort in gazing upon my radiance.  Don’t stray too far from those sunglasses, Mistica, and stay classy.”

 
Pandoria clicked off the television and threw the remote down hard onto her couch.  No matter what magic she had tried, no matter how many potions she had brewed, nothing was helping -- if anything, the weather was only getting worse with each passing hour. Whatever it was had tapped into her own magic, and so it adapted to her techniques.  The once graceful and confident goddess pulled her knees to her chest and sunk into herself.  In her aching heart she knew that her sister was behind everything, but with no proof, she was at a loss for what to do.  For the first time in eons, Pandoria felt helpless.

Whatever will we do? Stay safe out there Mistica! And leave those Obsidian Eggs ALONE!

~Mistic Team

 

 

The moon and the stars washed their warm glow over Mistica and all of its sleeping souls.  There was nary a sound save for the scurrying of pals through the darkness and the whispering of leaves in Darkwood Hollow -- and, of course, Pandoria’s snoring.  

The goddess lay snuggled in her bed, a slight smile on her face as she dreamed of magic and wonder and beef jerky.  But soon, unbeknownst to any of the residents of Darkwood Hollow, another sound soon joined the cacophony of the late-night 

Tsk.  Tsk.  Tsk.  Crrrrrrrack.

The rock sitting on Pandoria’s workbench wobbled, its surface beginning to fracture.  The numerous copies filling the high shelf in Pandoria’s workshop -- she had lost count of how many times they had multiplied -- soon joined suit.  

The soft crackling continued until, just silently enough not to pull Pandoria from her dreams, tiny creatures burst from their rock-like shells and cascaded down the shelves and out the door of the workshop.  

While Pandoria had been right in that her sister lacked the magic to create, Ansidoria had cleverly found a way around that hurdle in designing something that would absorb the magic of her sister instead.  Now that the pals’ bodies were full of Pandoria’s magic, they grew strong enough to venture out into the world on their own.

 However, their bodies were not stable enough to contain the magic for very long -- something that Ansidoria had counted on.  Before the sun began to peak over the horizon, the pals were pulsating with a dark, twisted aura, and the earth around them drank up the tainted magic like a man dying of thirst.

Oh NO! What will come of this? Be wary of any Obsidian Eggs you may find in your travels Mistica. Now is a time to be vigilant!

Pandoria signed heavily, burying her face in her paws.  Her tail brushed away the plethora of broken eggshells scattered around her stool.  As much as she criticized her sister for it, the magic of creation certainly wasn’t easy -- especially concerning hatchipals.  She had been at it since the sun first started trickling through the canopy of Darkwood Hallow, but she had still not made any progress.

“I will never guess how in all of Mistica my sister managed to make that thing for me,”  Pandoria mumbled to herself, rubbing her temples.
 Wait.  She sat straight up and whipped around, facing the shelf where her sister’s present had been sitting for the past few days.  To her surprise, two more had joined it, identical to the first.  
   
She carefully stood and approached the lumpy black rocks, and waved her paw above them.  She could still detect no magic, but she had been in her workshop almost constantly for the past three days, so there was no way anyone could have placed more on the shelf without her knowing.  

She picked one up and sniffed it.  “Maybe Erlenmeyer assisted her,” the goddess mused, taking the rock back to her work table.  Plunking it down on the wooden surface with a thunk, the goddess sat back down and resumed her work.
 
She still doubted that Ansidoria’s gift would hatch, but if anything else, it could serve for some long-due inspiration.

How strange!

Silver mist ran cold and heavy over the forest floor so Darkwood Hollow seemed to float on a ghostly sea. There was an odd quiet this spring morning; Pandoria wasn’t sure if she liked it or should be suspicious. She reached the door to the gargantuan tree that was her home, and as soon as her fingers touched its ancient wood it felt like an Icee had just slipped down her back.

Pandoria closed her eyes briefly and her jaw tightened.

“You have no business here, Ansidoria. Leave now,” the goddess ordered, turning around to face her sister.

The difference between them was so stark it was disturbing. Tall, regal and clothed in stars, Pandoria shone before her sister, who stood in a dark and tattered thing.

But Ansidoria merely smiled, showing her fangs. “I’m just here because of your birthday, not to cause any harm,” she assured Pandoria, who wasn’t believing a word.  “And to prove it, I’ve brought you something.”

Pandoria tensed as Ansidoria reached into her ripped cloak and brought out a curious object. It looked like a misshapen black rock.

“This,” Ansidoria began, “will hatch into your birthday present.” The Obsideon smiled again and made a bow, though her sharp eyes never left her sister, “I will be on my way. I expect your thank-you note to be prompt,” she added with a chuckle. Ansidoria straightened and, with a swish of her robes, soon disappeared into the mist.

The so-called hatchipal was heavy in Pandoria’s hand, but the goddess could detect no magic. It might as well have been a paperweight. She sighed and pushed back the vines covering her tree’s entrance, and after a moment of looking around her “present” had a home high on a shelf next to a golden scroll.

Ansidoria had always been a failure at creation. Her Jinxes were cursed, and anything she put her hands to seemed to crumble before her eyes. Pettiness and anger got in the way and nothing from her had ever been good. But this time…Pandoria wanted to believe it so badly, that she and Ansidoria could be reconciled.

"I’ll wait and see. Could be that it will hatch…" And whatever came out would attest to her sister’s intentions.

With a loud thud, Aibrean's heavy green cloak slid from her shoulders to the tower floor. The sprite looked about her chambers and frowned at the dust that had accumulated during her absence -- well, that was the price to pay when the prince asks you to help translate old scrolls.

Now she had to play catch up. Aibrean sat again at her desk and started the tedious process of cataloguing the new arrivals.

Watch out for Aibrean's quiz, coming soon in Mistic Chat!

Welcome to the world, Aurelius! It is celebration time in APOPO’s rat kennels today for the birth of baby Aurelius and his two siblings. Aurelius belongs to the species Cricetomys gambianus, commonly known as the African giant pouched rat, which are often born in litters of 2 or 3. APOPO’s breeding program ensures that prospective parents of our future heroes are carefully handpicked to deliver healthy, happy and high-quality rat babies.  A successful breeding program increases the likelihood of delivering excellent HeroRATs to detect landmines and tuberculosis.

APOPO’s early experiences demonstrated that rats that grow up in the organization’s kennels are easier to train and are more effective scent detectors. Since many rats are needed for mine action and TB detection operations, APOPO’s research and development department is constantly working on ways to optimize the breeding program. Before placing rat couples in the breeding cages, the APOPO staff closely monitors the acceptance behavior of the animals in the introduction cage. Female rats either reject or accept a prospective mate in this cage and in cases of clear acceptance, the rat couples are placed together in the breeding cages.

Congraulations Mistica- with your support, we are funding the training and care of TWO hero rats! Pandoria is already learning about Mine detection and what TNT smells like, and when Aurelius is older- we hope he has a nose to help root out Tuberculosis! 

You are all a part of this great work, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and community!

The world of Mistica has joined in the celebration of World Rat Day!

What a neat Avatar, a perfect way to celebrate!

Or perhaps you'd like a pal or two?

You'lll have to visit Creepy Critters to get your mitts on them!

Where can you find this little fellow?

Perhaps try the games room?

We are still awaiting word on our second Hero Rat's birth, but Pandoria continues her training and will soon be doing amazing work in the world! Apopo has recently entered into an agreement to expand to Vietnam for mine detection! These little rats are seriously going to save the world!

Thank you all for supporting Mistic, which in turn has been able to do and support programs like the Hero Rat program. What an AMAZING community!

Better late than never, this shy pal has appeared in Darkwood Hollow. 

The Jifu is here to celebrate Kodai's birthday!
Happy Birthday Kodai!

Perhaps it's just the tears of outcast April Kohals looking for a home?

Remember, the Crystallized Toadstool will turn any Kohal into an April version, until it's updated for May!

It's Vending time!


Which one of these April inspired items will you get from the Vending Machine? Only one way to find out!

Someone will get quite a surprise when this comes tumbling out of the machine!

Check out some fun items!


And a bunch of Avatars!

(And lots more!)

Happy April everyone! Thanks for joining in all the whacky Poisson D'Avril fun yesterday!
(Items will slowly be returning to their normal images. We thank all staff for the GORGEOUS contributions of artwork and fun!) 

~Mistic Team 

It's that time of the year again Mistica! Welcome to Poisson D'Avril! Capture the paper fish you see floating around the site and enjoy sending them to friends as mementos of this day.

Once upon a time you'd attempt to 'stick' rotting fish on your friends and family on April 1st. Thankfully it has evolved to involve PAPER fish, instead of rotting fish. (thank goodness!) 
   
So keep your eyes peeled for this little paper fish to collect in commemoration of this day!

Return of the CHOCOSHEEP!
 
 You can get this pet exclusively in the credit shop, and it's only 1,000,000 MP!

Is there something funny going on in the forums? You guys seem to have misplaced some words or something. Silly Misticans. Can't you keep your thoughts straight today?

Do you dare press the Button?

Feeling lucky? Hey, have the Imps gotten ahold of our layouts? Do you see anything strange going on? You may have to do some interesting activities in order to set things right!

ANd that's not all, if you spied that shiny Pandoria Box up there, you'll notice a bit of a change?

That's right, we've revamped some more items! We think you'll really love all the changes we have. Do you notice any really big changes whie you browse the site? Point them out in the comments!
Here are some of our item revamps to show off in our brand NEW style!






A great big kudos to our new art team which includes our previous writers and mods! Let's give the a round of applause for their hard work!

We can't wait to dig in and really make a difference with this new art style. It's super fast, and we think it will be an amazing step forward!
