A Tale of Two Kitties: Episode 1 - Cielis and the Mortifying Moors (Part 1)

(click pictures to make them bigger)






Today's journey follows Cielis and Hellobeast on their first adventure through the Moors of Blightfire.

In the brochure Cielis received in the mail, the Moors didn't seem like all that bad of a place. She heard there were neighborhoods and villages to never wander in, but it seemed like the worst problem was the rat and snake infestations.

Boy, was she wrong.
With Hellobeast as her leader, she entered into a scene straight from a horror film.




Now normally Cielis trusts Hellobeast since they are sisters afterall... But in this scary place, it almost seemed as if Hellobeast was leading her to her death. 

She had never seen a place like this before... Where the wilderness came to life and fought you.

From the trees


Which were so big that when you killed them, you could play a cool game of hide and seek and win!

To the evil hedges who were the meanest of all the plants..



As Cielis stood on the hill looking down at the evil creatures below, she knew this would not be an easy task. This land was cursed. She could feel a difference in the area than when she was with the trees.

The area where the the trees lived, while dark and scary, did not compare to the oppressive feeling in the air around the hedges. The air was heavy and still, almost calm, but far from calm. The area was dark, hazy, and quiet. You could hear the buzzing of bees and bixies in the far distance. As she moved forward, she could feel the hedges looking at her with hollow black eyes watching her every move.. Waiting.. Waiting for her to move into their territory they needed to protect.

She moved forward, down the pathway and the only sound she heard was the buzzing of bees getting louder and louder..

But then.. There was a sound. What was that sound? It was HORRIBLE. Mind numbingly horrible! There was a shriek louder than any shriek she's heard before. The sound of roots being uprooted from the ground and leaves rustling. It could only mean one thing...

She had stepped one foot off the road and passed into the hedge devil's territory. These horrible creature were barreling at her full speed. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late. She was already hit.


The devils did not go down easy. They were full of hatred, more than she'd ever seen. After a long, tiring fight, the battle was over. The ground was still. The air was clear and silent again. The looks she was receiving from the other hedges in the area was horrendous. They'd watched their friends and fellow soldiers fight against these cats and lose the battle. They were all full of revenge and wanted so badly for Cielis and Hellobeast to step off of the road again, for they were bound to not attack unless someone stepped off of the road.

With what had just happened... Hellobeast made the decision to leave the area. It was too risky. All of the hedges were now in unison to complete one task. Destroy who had destroyed their friends. With quick, careful movements, Cielis and Hellobeast went back down the path where they had come from to the Drakkin camp and slept.

For in the morning, their adventure was to get even more difficult than today. Today was only the beginning.

Shanaynay: Living the Gnome Life. Episode 1



Being a gnome isn't always fun and games.. Sure we can run into cracks in the wall to get away from our enemies... And we can always win at a game of "Hide n Seek" because no one can ever find us anyways.. But let me give you a scenario here.

Imagine this: There's this new event going on in your city. When you have huge festivals or celebrations, that always brings out all of the awesome food vendors from around the world. So this happens once a year. It's the 17th anniversary of  the creation of our world..

I know exactly where my favorite vendor is every year. He's always in the same spot and I know I can get my favorite sweet treat from him.
Party Cake.


Oh, Party Cake... All of it's sugary goodness and the way it just melts in your mouth. The way it makes you feel like you're on top of the world and no one can drag you down!

....Sorry.. Got a little carried away there. Back to my point.

So you go up to go to your favorite vendor to get your favorite treat... But there's an issue. You can't. Something is stopping you. What was stopping me, you ask? A very grave error and alot of miscommunication.


Do you see the problem? Do I need to zoom in?


We could not see each other.... We could not hear each other.. We could not communicate. I could not get my Party Cake.

This was not acceptable. I knew something had to be done.. But what? What could be done, when I surely couldn't grow without going through the painful experience of using a potion for me to grow.. And surely he couldn't move. He was quite busy and had to run his shop.

Then it hit me!



If I couldn't see him and he couldn't see me.. This would never work! All I had to do was see him!!! So then I finally mustered up all of my stamina and...





My plan worked!! I got my party cake! Thankfully he's very fast and I didn't have to wait too long.. It was really hard to hold on to the ledge. Good thing it gives you energy because I was so exhausted from jumping so high..

Regardless of how I got it.. I'm one happy gnome. :)

Until next time, friends.

Safe travels.

Introduction to "A Tale of Two Kitties"

Greetings, Norrathians. Today I will take you on a journey through our lives on Norrath. 



Cielis and Hellobeast were both born in the quaint Vah Shir town of Shar Vahl 







to a mother named Chialle. 


Chialle is a hard working Vah Shir. She sells many essential products to the people of Shar Vahl to ensure their comfort. She may not be the richest one in town, but she's definitely one of the most popular. 

When Cielis and Hellobeast were of the age to leave town and venture outside of their city, their mother gave them precious rings so that even if times got rough and they got hurt, their mother would be there with them every step of the way (since going back to their hometown would be nearly impossible with the dangers around every corner around Norrath).


They've treasured these rings since the day they got them. And one day they hope to pass them down to their generation of kids who may come in future times. 

Cielis and Hellobeast were born of different fathers, which is not uncommon in the feline kingdom. Both fathers played essential roles in their children's lives by training them the way they were supposed to go. Teaching them about the world and the people in it and fighting for what they believed in.

Cielis 



was born of a man named Fehril.


Fehril and her grandfather Grawleh 



taught young Cielis the knowledge of healing and making people stronger. Training pets to assist her on the way, and successfully hitting their opponents where it hurts.  You can clearly tell that Cielis got her beauty from her mother.

Hellobeast



 was born of a man named Poren. 


Poren and her grandfather Sahdi 


taught young Hellobeast the art of fighting with her hands along with their pets who accompany them along the way. Also to make their foes stronger and weaken their enemies. Hellobeast gets her strong appearance from her father.

Welcome!

Hey everyone! Welcome to our adventures through Everquest. Just for clarification we play Everquest 1.. Not 2.. Not project 99 even though it looks amazing. Just regular Everquest.

We've been playing for YEARS, but we finally are deciding to make a blog. Just for fun. 

Currently, we play on two servers. Those 2 servers are Luclin and Bertoxxulous. Bertox being our newer server. There won't be a scheduled post or anything.. It will strictly be when we want to post, we post. Even if it takes 3 years in between blog posts. 

There will be some series, but some of the posts might just be random gameplay posts.

Thanks ahead of time for joining in on our adventures! If you ever want to play together, just let us know. We aren't stingy who we play with.
