~Mistic Team
(All items have been awarded, enjoy!)

Boreal slumped against a rigid chair; all her strength was gone. General had tried to fill her with light, driving out her darkness. While Queen Boreal had originally cursed the wood wraiths to emanate selfishness and cold to drive away the Mistmas spirit, MeriKlaus had turned the curse around, causing them to radiate benevolence and warmth and spread that same spirit that she, Boreal, despised.

Now, being practically bathed in it, Boreal's subzero strength had all but fled her. But there was no light left in her heart—there had been no light left for the longest time. Instead, all she had was emptiness. Nothingness.

It seemed to take more energy than she possessed to even lift herself from her chair. And so she laid there, virtually helpless, in front of a hearth that had never bore a flame. However, that was when her white eyes drifted to the shaded corner of her mantle. There, on top of Kohal dust, was a small, wrapped package.

Boreal stared at it, blinking a few times, stunned. At last, she gathered her strength and hauled herself up from her chair. She first gathered her strength to reach for the note, attached to the package.


Rage threatened to peak as Boreal grabbed for the box and squeezed, nearly crushing it. Had a fire been lit, she surely would have burned it on the spot. But after a few futile minutes, her grip relaxed. As if resigned to at least curiosity, she tugged on the bow, and the package fell open in her hands.

It was a beautiful, iridescent star ornament. Even in the dreary light of her castle, the star shimmered, threatening to awaken long-buried memories. All Boreal could do was stare at it, tilting it slightly from side to side as the hues changed across its surface. Unable to reject it, she held it closely—her first Mistmas present ever.

~~~~~~

It may be a bit of a hunt with all the snow about, but keep your eyes peeled for today's avatar!


~Mistic Team 

Here to celebrate is the WinterGala Ricket!

We would also like to take this newspost to release two avatars for today, since one was overlooked with the hustle and bustle of Mistmas morning yesterday!


Which one is your favorite?

~Mistic Team 

One LOUSY Sock, is that all that MeriKlaus brought you? How silly of her!
Perhaps you should all try opening it today.

Hidden in the toe, every member that gathered Advent yesterday will receive a Tasty Carrot!




Journey to Blizzards Realm to place your carrot and entice a new companion if you have an open slot!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We bound the items to the accounts, and delayed the surprise in an effort to curb abuse of the gift, please forgive us for making you think all you got was a sock!

Merry Mistmas everyone, and have a great day Mistica!

 

~Mistic Team

“Merry Mistmas!” Charitee greeted every needy child brightly as she handed out gifts. “Thank you, everyone, for making this possible. The toy drive was a huge success! As a token of all our gratitude, you can pick up a special reward at our giveaway.”

“Thank you, everyone!” a veritable choir of Mistican children echoed. Each and every one had a joyful smile as they held their gifts.

“Merry Mistmas!” Aurelius also greeted. “The wood wraiths have been calmed—their curse has been broken entirely! They retreat to begin their task of healing, I'm sure we have not seen the last of them!
(The WoodWraith General remains until the new year to allow members to gain the avatar and mistmas poof gift)

“Merry Mistmas to all of Mistica!” MeriKlaus practically sang while her poofs cheered beside her. “I can feel your hearts—hearts so warm that they could never be frozen by Boreal's ice. Share this joy to everyone! Thank you—thank you all so much!” She waved once more as her Shyre-pulled sled made its way back into the Diamond Glacier Domain. “Merry Mistmas to all and to all a good night!”



And, on behalf of all the staff members here on Mistica, “MERRY MISTMAS!”

~*~*~*~*~*~


Only one isolated corner of Mistica remained cast in shadow. Queen Boreal stewed and raged. “How could this be so?!” The Kohals dove for cover, but not quickly enough. Boreal grabbed one unfortunate pet by the neck with her icy fingers. “Get out!” she raged, throwing open the door of her castle.

Much to her surprise, General was there on the other side. “You lied to me and you used my people.” Boreal's eyes flickered faintly in horror. The warm glow from thawing wintercursed ravaged boughs made her stomach twist. She could not feel a single bit of gloom coming from him. Instead, he radiated happiness and Mistmas spirit. It made her writhe internally, rooting her feet to the spot so she couldn’t respond--it was difficult for her to even move so close to his holiday aura.

“I will repay you in kind—no more, no less.”



Boreal's cries of dismay, anguish and fear echoed across the lonely landscape.


Merry Mistmas to all our members and staff. Please enjoy opening your presents and having fun today, don't forget to pick up your advent!

~Mistic Team 



Reports are coming in about the mistmas gift item from the team as being glitched, (Queen Boreal Mystery Present) there will be a broken image item in your inventory after opening. Please visit the advent page to pick up the item that should have been in there!  Broken items will be cleared periodically throughout the day!

It seemed that everyone was much happier now, but in the Diamond Glacier Domain that same happiness was not felt.



“Curse them all to dust!” Queen Boreal snarled. Her Kohal servants stood at a distance. They'd learned not to get too close when she was angry after she had given one of them a swift kick. She had hurt her foot, but that pain couldn't match the hurt and sadness that Kohal had felt from the abuse.

Boreal paced her room, dark skirts swishing about her ankles. Her Wood Wraith army was rapidly falling. Even worse, there was more cheer now than there was before she even started. “I have no choice now,” she said. Her hands curled into fists. Rarely did the composed and icy queen show rage so openly.

She motioned for a Kohal with a soiled and ruined northern-colored bow. It stepped forward warily at her command. “We'll have to send in the general. I should have done this to begin with!” she said, cursing her lack of foresight. But the General was a proud and hard creature; he might not have deigned to enter the battle if his troops had done well.

The General was more powerful and resistant to MeriKlaus' magic than the normal, run-of-the-mill Wood Wraiths that her snowballs were created to counter. He was old and even Queen Boreal dare not push him too far, but now, he would fight for her; his body practically radiated the curse he thought she would lift. If a cured Wood Wraith got too close for too long, it would revert back to its cursed state. Perhaps he would be enough to help take back her army and destroy Mistica?

“Go retrieve the General!” she commanded the Kohal. “I want him to go to the Wood Wraith forest and take my army back!”

(Members can toss snowballs at him ever 30 mins, 20 for Champions!)

And of course, the avatar for today!

And do not forget to scroll down and read about our Shyre release and a chance to win one for yourself! 

“Oh no…” MeriKlaus stared out of her bedroom window only to realize she couldn’t see out of it. Completely white and glimmering with ice, it might as well have been part of the wall.

The mericai hurriedly donned a robe, ran down the hall, through her workshop (dispersing confused and newly caffeinated poofs on the way) and threw open the front door. Her heart sank.

Hope had warmed her heart the day before when Aurelius had told her of the toy drive, but now MeriKlaus stared down the worst white-out in Blizzard Realm history. Powerful winds howled past the door so thick with snow that even Roustig’s light wouldn’t have penetrated them.

How could she deliver Mistmas presents in this weather? Boreal wouldn’t let up before then; MeriKlaus was sure the queen was throwing all of her remaining powers into this blizzard to kill any good spirits left.



“You saw it?” Aurelius’s familiar voice came from behind MeriKlaus, who nearly jumped out of her robe.

She nodded sadly. “I’ve held her off for centuries, Aurelius, but this…she’s only once come close to winning, and that was so long ago. My stignightus can’t get through this. No one can get through this storm!”

“She’s losing. She’s putting everything into this storm because we’re starting to win, MeriKlaus,” Aurelius said, “You can’t let her take your spirit as well!”

MeriKlaus shuddered at that. “I know. But my stignightus still can’t navigate this.”

“Show me the stignightus,” Aurelius said.

MeriKlaus looked confused but took him out back to the stables, which were as warm as the inside of the shop. Completely covered and decked out in poinsettias and holly, the stignightus all looked quite comfortable away from all the snow.

     

“You all have a duty,” Aurelius reminded them. Every head perked up and ears swiveled in the direction of the star’s haunting voice. Glowing orbs cast bright, moving light all over the stables and Aurelius practically shone. “But Boreal has you trapped. I can help, if you’re all willing?”

At once, the stignightus tossed their heads and huffed loudly. Hooves made hollow drum beats on the stable’s floor and Aurelius smiled.

“I thought so,” he said happily, “get ready!”

An expectant silence fell over the stables as, suddenly, the air itself grew warmer. Aurelius breathed deeply and approached the first stignightus, who reached out its snout so the star could lay a hand on its forehead.

The heat intensified until it was like standing in front of a bonfire. Light engulfed the stignightus until even its silhouette was overtaken by a miniature sun. Pinks, blues, purples and greens all streaked through the light, pulsing, disappearing and reappearing, alive.



Then the light faded, and standing in the stignightus’s place was an enormous equine. Thickly muscled but with a graceful step the new creature trotted about in the stall, tossing its mane and looking down on Aurelius with bright eyes.

The star smiled and went to each stignightus, blessing every one.

“They’re strong enough now,” Aurelius said with satisfaction, “The snow won’t impede them any longer.”

MeriKlaus felt like she had to pick her jaw up off the floor. “Aurelius…this is amazing! They’re beautiful!”

“You’re the greatest force against Boreal that Mistica has,” Aurelius reminded her, “Love cannot fail. Show her that.”

MeriKlaus nodded. Now, it was time to work!

~~~~~~~
Let's have a warm welcome for Mistica's newest species, the Shyre!





While Ice Fishing, keep an eye out for those strange carrots, you could get a Shyre of your very own!  

For now though, two lucky Misticans that post below in the news comments will win a Tasty Carrot of their very own! Let's welcome the Shyre in style!

Of course we wouldn't forget today's avatar release, can you find this adorable panda?



~Misitc Team 

The Wood Wraith’s numbers began to die down as Misticans continued throwing their blessed snowballs at their trunks. There were still many that had managed to avoid being hit, either by moving through the forests to avoid detection, because someone had poor aim, or through some other means. Those that remained cursed continued to press onwards, spreading Boreal's blizzard and attempting to reabsorb the spirit that had previously been released by the defeated Wood Wraiths. The more they absorbed the more powerful Boreal got.

Meriklaus was growing slightly stronger as the Misticans fought on, but it still wasn't enough. It seemed that just as quickly as one Wood Wraith was defeated another would absorb its stored spirit. Aurelius saw all that she was going through to try and save Mistmas and felt that it was unfair to make her do all the work while he sat back and did nothing. He tried to think of a way he could help.

He took a walk to try and come up with an idea. Along the way he passed battle weary Misticans, some of them napping in the snow with a snowball in hand, all bundled up against the cold weather in the latest winter apparel that Lance could offer to try and keep up with the growing demand. Aurelius suddenly wished that he had a warm winter coat of his own. The blizzard had the world so frozen that even he was beginning to feel the chill.

Merry Mistmas everyone!

~Mistic Team

Almost forgot the Avatar release in all the craziness!
 

As Mistmas Day neared, more poofs gathered from near and far, bringing along raw materials and gift boxes to help keep up with the production needs in the workshop. The poofs worked hard all day and all night to get the last of the presents finished in time. Some of them looked almost clownish with their soft fur stained in rainbow colors from the paints they used to decorate wooden trains and plastic cars. A small crisis arose when another at the Mistmas card station sneezed and sent glitter flying all over several nearby poofs, who were now running around as sparkling as the fresh snow itself. Looming shortages of ribbons and bows in the gift wrapping department had everyone on edge as they scrambled to find more that had perhaps gone unnoticed in storage.

MeriKlaus watched her little helpers work from a large window above the workshop. They really were doing their best to get done on time, as they did every year. This year would definitely be close as they were already behind schedule from their various setbacks this month. She turned from the window and smiled as a pair of poofs entered the room, one carrying a tray of fresh cookies and the other with two mugs of hot cocoa for Aurelius and MeriKlaus. She wondered how the head poof chef managed to make the mini marshmallows shaped like tiny snowflakes and bid the poofs thanks as they left.

Aurelius selected a cookie shaped like a star that was iced with many gorgeous colors. He guessed it was decorated as a tribute to him. “So what have you found out?” he asked MeriKlaus. He already knew what was going on at this point. He figured it out sometime in the middle of the night. He just wanted to see if Meriklaus was on the same page as him.

“Wood Wraiths,” MeriKlaus said darkly. “This must be Boreal's doing.”
 ~~~~~~~~~

Wood Wraiths!  Click MeriKlaus above to continue reading!

Don't forget to look around for today's avatar!


Be sure to toss those snowballs, it's now more important than ever and now you can throw MORE!
That's right, everyone can now send 8 snowballs an hour! (4 each*)
While Champs can send 10! (5 each*)
 
Spread that Mistmas cheer, and happy holidays!

~Mistic Team
*(Random and Selected)  

Aurelius led the way back to MeriKlaus's workshop, his natural warmth melting the heavy snow that was piled like white mountains all around them.
 
"Where are your stignightus?" He asked, frowning in concern, "Walking will take hours."

MeriKlaus sighed. "They bolted," she admitted, "I started out early when I saw your comet and barely reached you in time. I was hoping you would be able to help me find them..."

Aurelius was silent for a few moments as they continued to walk. He thought he had a solution, but only if his magic was strong enough. Everything around him felt cold, and it had nothing to do with the terrible weather; it was as if Mistica itself was freezing from the inside out.

Then he saw what he'd been hoping for: a tiny red dot a little ways off, but growing larger as it got closer.

MeriKlaus could see it too. "Is that...Roustig?!" She exclaimed.

Aurelius smiled and nodded. "He was born under my comet's light. I hoped I was strong enough to bring him here, but I wasn't sure..."
 
The red light was soon close enough to illuminate the happy face of Roustig, who pranced about, quite thrilled to see MeriKlaus again. He tossed his head and suddenly started off away from the pair, pausing to look back.

"He knows where the others are," MeriKlaus said, "We need to follow him!"

Aurelius nodded and they ran after Roustig as quickly as the snow allowed. Snow began to fall in heavy white sheets so even though Roustig was close, they could just barely make out his light ahead.

Soon they heard the excited cries of stignightus over the howling of the cold wind. MeriKlaus let out a whoop of joy, hiked up her thick red skirt and all but flew over the snow to her beloved team.

Sitting atop one of the stignightus's backs was a furry blue creature she recognized. "And who're you?" She asked the blue poof kindly. 
It let out a series of excited whistles and chirps, all but jumping up and down to get its story across. MeriKlaus listened, nodding at all the right parts, and when he finished she smiled broadly.

"Well thank you for finding them all!" She said, "And Roustig here can lead us all back to the workshop!"

For the first time in days, MeriKlaus felt hopeful, and even a little stronger for it. Aurelius was here and her stignightus had been returned. Boreal could be defeated as well!

~Mistic Team
(Be sure to visit the giveaway for your own little Blue Poof!) 

Through a white haze of snow and dark clouds, Aurelius burned.

 Below, Mistica was dim, like a half-broken light bulb. No one even bothered to look up. Usually Misticans anticipated Aurelius’s arrival with great joy and celebrated when he finally landed, but this year no one cheered to herald the star’s coming. Everyone had their eyes fixed on the ground as they shuffled through the cold, muttering bitterly.

Aurelius saw only a few faint glimmers of hope below. He angled towards the brightest one, and fire from his comet lit up the grey skies, tearing through the blizzards and ice to crash in a flash to the ground.

Aurelius groaned. Somehow, his feet had missed and he’d landed hard flat on his back.

Blizzard's Realm!
Blizzard's Realm has received a bit of a makeover! It is now a php map, and easier for us to edit and input new links. 

So Poofs and Ice Fishing now have onsite links available onsite to utilize.

Be sure to keep throwing those snowballs and turning them in!

~~~~~~~~~~
Trades!

We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that trades are for Trading! It is not appropriate to utilize them for showing off collections, etc. We have galleries for that!
~~~~~~~~~~
Rat Adoption!
 
Now why in the world would we be taking time in our news to talk about Rat Adoption? Well, Mistica has adopted a rat!
 
There's a poll up now, and we'd like to know what the members would like to name it once it's born in 2 weeks. Be sure to Vote!

What makes this so special? Our rat is going to be raised to help sniff out and detect Land Mines in countries affected by these terrible weapons of war. Our HeroRat is an African Giant Pouched Rat, and the organization helps train them to help out in dangerous areas. See, Ratties have a great sense of smell, and they are so light, they are able to not trigger the mines when helping to clear a field!

We will post regular updates as they are provided by the organization, and we hope to add a second rat at some point who will be trained to help diagnose Tuberculosis.

"Tis the season for cheer, and on top of our donations to needy children, we can now say that Mistic and its community are thinking globally!
~~~~~~~~~~

I'd suggest taking a peek around the new Blizzard's Realm pages. ;)

Up in her study, Meriklaus was startled by a sudden cacophony from the downstairs workshop. “What in the world…?”

She hurried out the door and down the stairs to see what was the matter with her poofs

Frosty was running around frantically among the various stations with a clipboard, tallying the things that they needed in a loud, carrying soprano. The gift wrapping station was out of wrapping paper, the poofs in charge of the Mistmas cards had no more envelopes, and half the chef team was in tears over the discovery that they had run out of flour and chocolate chips and couldn't finish their cookies. Those were just the shortages that Meriklaus could see from her position at the door. All around the workshop, poofs were complaining of a lack of materials that threatened to halt production. A pair of poofs were ripping apart a doll from the rejected pile for spare parts and trying to ration the stuffing amongst the teddy bear team.
 

Frosty collapsed on his rump, panting and out of breath from all the running around that he was doing. Meriklaus scooped him off the floor and placed him in a nearby chair. He handed her the clipboard in exchange for a glass of milk from the baking station.

Click Above to read more about what is going on at MeriKlaus' workshop! Then join in the hunt for the missing Stignightus by looking for clues from some of our NPC's onsite.  Gather the 4 clues, and figure out where they might be hiding!

Jinx are ready for creation!
They will be released in batches throughout the day and night!


So we 'celebrate' Friday the 13th today... we know Misticans around the world are excited for the Jinx releases we thought we'd share a few facts about this illustrious, (albeit terrifying day!)

Today marks the last Friday the 13th this year! We won't see another until June of 2014!

Which Jinx is your favorite?

The fear of the number 13 is called Triskaidekaphobia. And the fear of Friday the 13th has two names; paraskavedekatriaphobia & friggatriskaidekaphobia.

All across Mistica the storm raged on. Schools and businesses were closed, shortages of supplies were reported everywhere, and impatience with the whole situation was beginning to rise as injured backs from shoveling and getting plowed in the face with balls of slush and ice were growing to be common occurrences. The anger and all-around grumpiness lead to even more snowball throwing until soon the streets were littered with the bodies of those too tired to heave anymore snow. An attempt to break up a fight by Officer Coppa's riot squad failed when the police got involved in the snow flinging themselves, and not a single tree, passing car, or ordinary, unassuming Skillow was spared the balls of frozen fury.

A crowded supermarket flooded with conversation as impatient Misticans waited to pay for whatever items they could scavenge from the shelves. “You would think they'd find a way to get supplies through all this snow,” one angry mother complained. “They're out of hot cocoa and turkey soup. What am I supposed to give my kids when they come in out of the cold?”

“Ken Kratork here with Mistican Action News, reporting with a snow warning!
 

“The blizzard continues to rage, covering large sections of Mistica including Ravi-Sorin and the Bamboo Beach Resort. Emergency vehicles and personnel and winter pets are the only ones able to travel the roads. Salt trucks are working around the clock, but Officer Coppa still says it is ill-advised for anyone to travel. White outs and snow blindness are expected in areas such as Rordon Village and Mistic Kingdom. Freezing rain is predicted to sweep off of the coast near the Kelpie Fortress.

“In addition, violence is breaking out in stores nation-wide. People are fighting over food and firewood as they try to stockpile for the storm. Reports of at least two employees and one Anya being trampled by riotous mobs have been confirmed.

 “In related news, all of the snow and frustration has turned into a full-scale snow fight across Mistica. What started as imp children pranking holiday shoppers has now grown to involve legendaries and pets of all ages. You too can participate!

“And for our story next hour--giving is down this Mistmas. Local food banks report a shortfall heading into the holiday season, and charities are struggling to provide blankets and coats for all the needy families.

Again, this is Ken Kratork with Mistican Action News, signing off.”

Snowballs, Snowballs, and MORE snowballs!
How many have you gathered up so far?
Did you happen to see that many of them are now wearable?

“Ken Kratork here with Mistican Action News!
 
This year’s Mistmas snowfall has quickly turned into a vicious blizzard. In the Blizzard Realm, King Blithe is reporting white-outs almost every day, and the hot springs are beginning to shrink. No one has dared to inquire into Queen Boreal’s kingdom and she hasn’t yet been seen outside of her castle.

Misticans are advised to stay indoors as much as possible. Pets, especially desert dwelling species like the comeil, should absolutely not venture outdoors. If you do need to go out, bundle up and keep all extremities well covered to avoid frostbite, and watch out for black ice! Already thirteen Misticans have been hospitalized for slips and falls.

“Officer Coppa is investigating several imps suspected of throwing snowballs at people’s windows, causing more than one unnecessary 911 call.

“MeriKlaus has been seen at the Advent Calendar, giving out gifts as usual, but Mistmas spirit still seems to be lacking. Misticans seem to be taking their frustrations out on each other with snowballs, so be careful! 

Ken Kratork with Mistican Action News, signing off.”

SNOWBALLS!  Get ready for a fight Mistica and toss some snowballs! Click the snowfield below to get started. Every hour you can throw to Misticans of your choosing, and also to random members online!

The Wintercursed Zokuleon!


Can you find today's avatar?


 

~Mistic Team 

It’s been a good year for stories, Jahzara thought to herself. With a small smile revealed only when the firelight illuminated her face, the cheran sat before a crowd yet again.
 
“We finished the tale of Queen Boreal, but now a new one begins. The icy queen had fallen, doomed to walk this world, the stars forever out of her reach -- but she was still powerful, at least by our mortal standards. And she brought with her a cold and patient rage that Mistica had never known. She desired not only power, but domination, and set about trying to control Mistica from her very first terrestrial steps.

Also, be sure to keep a look out for various Mistmas stock, showing up ALL over Mistica!

Waiting for a shiny avatar? You are in luck!

Happy Mistmas Mistica! Be sure to wrap those gifts well, be it in wrapping paper, or a stylish Noir Gift bag! Can you find today's avatar?


~Mistic Team

Deep within the Diamon Glacier domain, several Kohal have been expelled for exhibiting strange behavior.

Quite blue, these December Kohal have been rejected by Queen Boreal!  Now is your chance, there's a limited number of Normal Kohal looking for homes. Remember, you can turn your Kohal into the December color by using the Crystallized Toadstool!


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

Jahzara had never before emerged for Mistmas, but her knowledge was suddenly eagerly sought after. Jasper’s story had been a shocking revelation to many Misticans, and now they wished to know about another character, one who would certainly plague them soon: Queen Boreal. Jahzara finally responded to the constant knocks on her door by gathering anyone who wished to come around an enormous bonfire, the perfect setting for a sad and chaotic tale.

Once a proper crowd surrounded the storyteller, all of them bundled up in thick coats and gloves and scarves, Jahzara settled in front of the flames, just far enough to avoid being burned. Illuminated like an inferno spirit, she began... 

“Like many of my stories, Queen Boreal’s tale began hundreds of years ago. She is an old, lonely soul, though her body doesn’t show it."

Click Jahzara above to read more of her story!
