Mistic Pets

No one had expected that a massive underwater cavern could have existed beneath the grassy hills. The squabbling that would have begun between the two pirates ceased almost as immediately as it began. Mounds of golden coins,gem-encrusted treasure chests, and jewelry piled as high as their heads, an untold treasure hoard that had long-since been forgotten by the world above.

“How did this go undiscovered for so long?” Anemone whispered, shivering as her soft voice echoed throughout the cavern. Cordelia tapped a finger to her lips, admiring a beautiful string of black pearls before she curled her fingers around it with a grin. Before anyone could stop her, she draped it around Anemone’s neck with a satisfied smile, purposely ignoring how Jack went straight for the treasure chests to plunder his loot.

“Um… I found this over there.” No sooner had Daniel spoken, a roar filled the air around them, sounding particularly melodious. Daniel jumped and nearly dropped the decorated orb he carried as the four looked around to see what had made such a sound. In an offshoot of the cave, something purple leaped from shadow to shadow, golden adornments catching the light before it stopped in front of the farthest coin mound.

A large purple Kirui stood there; regal head held high and intelligent eyes holding wisdom far beyond their years. For a moment everything stood still, and it then let out an even higher note before it vanished back into the tunnel from whence it came. Daniel and Anemone looked down at the graced orb.

Behind them, nearly forgotten as their attention was captured by the grace, Pirates did as pirates always do. They plunder.

“Oi, that be my treasure chest!”

“Your name is nowhere on this chest, hand off!”

~~~~~~~~~~~

The loot has been plundered. Yet there remains a last gift hidden in the waters of Rordon Village. A consolation for those that missed out on the Grace, and a memento of a jolly good adventure for those that participated!

 

~Mistic Team

 

Both teams ended up back in Daniel-san’s shop where they started, staring in confusion at a crumpled piece of paper, what was presumably the final clue from the depths of the swamp. It wasn’t written in code or a different language – no, that would probably have been easier to understand. Instead it was two lines of scrawled text, written as though the author was in a rush, or perhaps was using their nondominant foot. To add insult to injury, the paper had some kind of smudge on it, and had been crumpled and torn in half. In fact, if they hadn’t met back up, they might not have known anything was missing.

“An ingenious plan, by whoever wrote it…” Jack muttered to himself, as his partner and Anemone worked to carefully tape the scraps of paper together.

“Ingenious? More like careless, I would think.” Cordelia glanced at Jack and grinned mischievously. “If I didn’t know better, I’d have assumed you had written it.”

While the pirates scowled and bickered, Anemone was lost in thought, staring at the clue as Dan held it as unwrinkled as possible. She moved her lips silently, words starting on her mouth and dying before they could be spoken. Suddenly a lightbulb seemed to go on over her head, and she pulled out a small, compact mirror. In the reflection, despite the rips, tears, and horrible, horrible handwriting, the clue was clear as it could be.

“Far past the rolls of grassy green,
Beneath the water treasure lies unseen.”

Cordelia and Jack froze at Anemone’s words, and a look of admiration spread across Cordelia’s face.

“Last one there gets absolutely nothing!” Cordelia grabbed Anemone’s hand and they took off laughing. This time it was Daniel-san who got the shocked Jack Skillow moving, shoving him out the door to follow the other team.

“Keen of mind, aren’t ya? It’s what’s on the note that’s interesting, Miss Anemone.” Without further ado, and before anyone could warn him about pulling out paper under water, Jack popped the cork and dumped the bottle’s contents onto his palm. With a grand flourish, he unrolled the scroll, which luckily seemed waterproof, and began to read.

"In darkest depths and deepest mire,
With a fearsome serpent locate your heart's desire."


"Well…?” Cordelia said blandly, releasing Anemone’s hands to stifle a fake yawn. Jack, flustered for but a second, popped the scroll back into the bottle and posed grandly.

“I thought you might be interested in a little competition; that’s all. You and your girl, versus me and…” Jack glanced over at Daniel-san, whose shoulder sagged with sudden realization. “... me and my pal Daniel-san here. To solve this clue and find some treasure.” Anemone giggled as Dan mouthed ‘help me’ (or maybe ‘kelp me,' one could never know when a citizen of Sango Reef would make an impromptu pun), and turned to Cordelia, whose gleaming eye matched Anemone’s excitement.

“I think that could be fun,” Anemone started.

“And will give Annie and me an opportunity to spend time together while showing you up.” Cordelia finished. If she noticed Anemone’s blush at the nickname, she didn’t show it.

“Well, then it’s settled.” Without a look back at the girls, Jack had grabbed Daniel-san’s arm and took off out the door; the girls close behind him.

Anemone glanced over at Cordelia, whose expression was less than amused.

“This had better be good, Skillow,” The dashing pirate growled, reaching across the table to hold Anemone’s hands, tightly. Taking a deep breath, she turned her one gold eye to study the bottle Jack was rolling about between his paws, apparently unimpressed.

“Well, I’m not sure what it is just yet, but I’m sure it’s something great. After all, I, Captain Jack Skillow, found it, and all I ever find is treasure.”

“That just looks like a note in a bottle to me, Captain.” Anemone blurted out, before thinking. Cordelia snorted, and Daniel-san, who was trying to look more interested in wiping down the nearby counter, flinched visibly. The atmosphere stayed light, however, and Jack started laughing.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun had long set below the silvery waves of the ocean, casting a shadow on Sango Reef that was soon dispelled by lamps full of flitting and flickering bioluminescent plankton. Now situated in a specially prepared table in a secluded corner of Daniel-san’s Fish Monger, Anemone had finally gotten past the feeling that she would burst with excitement; although, that isn’t to say she wasn’t still jittery, feeling as though her heart was attempting to grow fins and swim away.

        After pulling herself out of Cordelia’s arms, Anemone had closed her newly opened beach location store (necessary for those Misticans who wanted swim gear but were perfectly happy to stay in the shallows of the ocean or private swimming pools), and the two had made their way to the depths of the reef. Cordelia had spent the journey regaling Anemone with tales of her adventures and causing her to giggle and blush with secret words. On at least one occasion, Anemone snorted in laughter, causing an embarrassing amount of bubbles to escape from her nose, but then ended with the two roaring with laughter, causing a commotion that had the Sea Witch slamming her door shut with a hmph and sending small fish darting away in alarm.

        Anemone couldn’t remember being happier at any time since… well, since Cordelia had left.

        And as far as Anemone could tell, Cordelia was also overjoyed with their situation. Much of the mystery that had shrouded her last year had melted away, replaced with a soft, snarky friendliness and an abundance of almost awkward admirations aimed at Anemone. Her smile was dazzling. Her remaining eye glowed brighter than her prosthetic one. Her hands were firm, rough, but not unpleasant when grasped in Anemone’s. Her-

        Anemone’s internal descriptions of Cordelia were interrupted by Daniel-san’s untimely entrance, looking flustered and ashamed at his abrupt appearance despite being in his own shop. The women didn’t even have time to ask what was going on before another familiar figure clomped out from behind them; a smug grin plastered across his face. In his claws, he clutched what looked like a battered scrap of paper stuffed inside a grimy bottle.

“Hello, ladies,” Jack Skillow purred. “Guess what I’ve found?”

It had been a whole year since she had seen Cordelia. It wasn’t like she had been counting the days since that time, yet it always lingered in the back of her mind, like an annoying itch that she couldn’t quite scratch. A soft sigh filled the air around her as Anemone closed her store. It was a slow day and the customers were either down near the beach or were more interested in finding the perfect cool treat for this strangely hot day.

Her eyes, no matter where they roamed, always found their way back to the beach in the distance. The promise that had been spoken still rang in her head, clear as if it had been spoken only a few minutes before. Her head dipped low, golden nails twisting her dress’ material this way and that.

"I'll visit when I can. At least once a year."

A smile lit upon her lips and she turned to walk towards her destination. There was that strange emptiness that brewed in her chest but those words kept it from overwhelming her. A sudden shout reverberated throughout the air and all eyes turned upon the direction it came from – the beach. A single person was waving frantically and pointing towards the ocean. Anemone’s heart fluttered up into her throat, seeing a ship in the distance as it rounded a large rock formation.

It was her ship!

Happiness flowed through her, pushing her onwards down the path to the beach, having to navigate the sudden crowd as nearly everyone flowed towards the beach in excitement. She could hear murmurs of confusion when the color of the ship was revealed once the sun wasn’t in their eyes, but she couldn’t help but smile. Her eyes were fastened on the ship until it finally docked and a familiar figure began to descend from the deck.

Anemone’s heart thudded against her chest, watching as a scarf was readjusted around the other’s neck.

“Cordelia!”

The question still held. Where was Jack?

Fire can both heal and destroy.
Fire can be friend and foe, both destroyer and healer,
filled with light as well as dark.

Sometimes life's journeys bring us through fire and turmoil to appreciate the bright new beginning just beyond the horizon but first we have to see the devastation left in its wake.

Sometimes the bright garden in which we play is taken over by weeds, and a cleansing fire is all that will save your most precious blooms. You must still face the devastation the fire brings so you know how to guard better that which is most important to you.


Please welcome the Blessed Phoenix Phelocan to the land of Mistica.
May the fire bring forth a new beginning and light the way!

There will be no limit placed on this month's grace; it will be available through the normal means. 
As a Gift with purchase of MP
Limited quantities in Jade Emporium
Weekly Raffle Prize

And also, through some random giveaways!
