Rargyle wasn’t even sure how he got there. The bird flew up and out of the hole in the ceiling, making a laugh-like cry as it escaped. How many had it been? This room had a huge hole in the ceiling, and sunlight shone down upon shelves and shelves and shelves of books.

This room was different from the other, what, five rooms? that Rargyle had already been through. The bird’s colorful beak was visible in the darkness of another door, and he followed it it vanished into the room, as expected. He turned left, into another room that looked exactly the same. Weren’t cats allergic to chocolate or something anyway? There was no sign of the bird, but he heard its eerie cry coming from a room on the left. It looked playful enough, and not big enough to hurt him. An orange tiger-like creature with blue eyes seemed to be chasing a mouse. The next room looked just like the entrance hall, except smaller, and even more dusty. He spotted the bird perched on the entrance to another room. There were windows, just holes in the wall, at least on this floor, which allowed him to see. The vast expanse of this first room was covered in dust. There were torches, but they weren’t lit. He proceeded forward into the darkness, already wishing he hadn’t. Then, he heard the Ponka cawing from within the tomb, its creepy bird-voice echoing off the stone walls. Here goes nothing!”Īnd indeed, there went nothing. The Ogrin hesitated for a long time, as to whether he should follow the colorful bird. Carved into the archway to the tomb were the words “Geraptiku Tomb.” Other strange characters were etched into the stone, but nothing that made sense to Rargyle. Pink feathers retreated into the darkness of its open, foreboding entrance. Several stories tall and made entirely of what appeared to be hewn stone, it was a great temple. As he trudged forward, out of breath (chocolate pets, understandably, are not usually among the most athletic), his eyes widened as he saw the great structure that stood before him. Rargyle saw the bird fading into darkness, flying into some sort of cave. It kept making nervous glances behind it, then flapping its wings and accelerating after it saw the Ogrin keeping chase. He almost tripped a few times, as keeping pace with the agile bird was difficult. He had something to prove! He wasn’t a coward. Rargyle felt sort of entranced by its vivid color, and gave chase. The Ponka, visibly alarmed, took flight, and flew surprisingly quickly through the dense foliage. Save some dinner.” With that, he trudged into the dense underbrush, towards the strange Ponka. Not wanting to be a coward, he continued, “I’ll go check it out. The idea of jungle even Sthenos didn't want to explore was quite daunting, but also exhilarating. You can check it out, just meet me back home soon.” I don’t even know what that green bird is. “You can get closer, but I don’t like the way that bird sounds. Sthenos had stories published in the Neopian Times about his adventurers in the jungles of the mystery isle. Rargyle wasn’t one to be brave, but he had to get closer. “The pink one’s a Ponka,” Sthenos explained. It seemed to be engaged in conversation with another bird that looked rather like an artichoke. A large pink bird sat on a branch in the distance, making a bizarre call. “Whoa, look at those pretty birds!” he cried. He was with his foster brother, Sthenos, who knew Mystery Island like the back of his hand, so the Ogrin didn’t feel totally lost. Even his parents were chocolate, or so his owner (who had adopted Rargyle) had told him. He was born chocolate, raised chocolate, and didn’t plan to stop being chocolate, though. “What is that meltable, delicious, not-tropical-at-all pet doing on this island?” he imagined the locals questioned. Rargyle, the Chocolate Ogrin, looked out of place on Mystery Island.
