In 2005, Neopets and the Singapore Civil Defense Force released 2 flash games of Neopets having to deal with fears of bombs, earthquakes, and conscription. It is very bizarre and the full story is archived for everyone to read.

It also features Enxor Tyndall, the blue Alien Aisha who lives as a normal citizen divorced of Virtupets/Kreludor...
Kelin the Kacheek who is unaware of bombs...
Hogar the "unskilled" security guard who wants to go to college...
Rorie the minimum wage Yurble...
Beryll the conscripted older brother of Rorie who is ready and willing to go into a paragraph of Singaporean propaganda...
...And Tokar, who is against humanitarian aid for some reason. Okay.
I can't thank @goethial on Tumblr enough for this! To see Annaya and Berryl finally drawn is so wonderful! They always knock it out of the park and I'm obsessed with my mage girls! Thank you again!
Summary: The decision is made to go back to the one place Berryl has tried to run away from and she is... less than enthused about it.

Snippet: "My Lord, we've been through these multiple times. With respect, what did you possibly find?" She asked, stretching to look at the text.
"Exactly!" Thorval replied. "These journals were largely unhelpful for what we've recently discovered about your powers, my child."
Thorval turned to grab a second book from the top of a stack on a smaller table nearby. He flipped it open to an earmarked page and set it on top of the already open book.
"The Archlich did, however, make multiple mentions to a separate library where he kept his notes in his 'Grand Experiment'."
Berryl frowned. "Where was the library?" She glanced back at Darion but his brow was furrowed and gave nothing away.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was somewhere between the Construct Quarter and the Plague Quarter. My memory of Naxxramas is somewhat hazy, but perhaps the Highlord would recall better?"
Thorval gestured to Darion and Berryl looked over at him. Their eyes met and his nodded slightly. "It was a hidden room. You needed a scrying stone to see the doorway. Kel'thuzad wanted to ensure nobody found the library that he didn't want to."
"Do you remember where it was?" Thorval asked.
Berryl's head whipped back around. "Wait, what do you mean?"
"Of course I remember. We just need to find the scrying stone, but he normally kept that in his personal quarters." Darion replied.
Berryl took a step toward Darion. "Personal quarters? Darion, what —"
"And there is the matter of getting inside the citadel…"
Darion shook his head. "We saw Naxxramas floating while we were in Dragonblight. If we can get past the frostwyrm patrol in the sky, it looked largely unguarded."
Berryl clenched her jaw as she stepped in front of Darion. "What are you talking about?"
Darion's eyes shifted to hers. "We're going to Naxxramas."

I've been prepping for Berryl and Darion to actually sneak into Naxxramas and I thought I'd share a little snippet of the before... I hope you enjoy!
"Tell me,” He repeated softly.
“I'm scared." She blurted out. She frowned as her eyes settled her hands.
“Why are you scared?"
"I…” she swallowed again. She didn't want to say it out loud but she realized that he wasn't in her head. He wasn't trying to read her thoughts. He wanted her to tell him.
Darion pressed his fingers gently under Berryl's chin to lift her head up, coaxing her to look at him. His face was passive and unreadable as their eyes met.
“There's only two of us. What good can we do against all of Naxxramas? I…” she felt her heart skip at the thought of what she was about to say. "I don't want him to get me again.”
Her voice cracked as she said it and she tried to pull away. Darion's grip on her lower back suddenly tightened as his brow furrowed. He leaned closer to her and Berryl felt a pressure on her mind, holding her in place.
"I will say this one time, Berryl,” Darion said quietly. His voice was calm but Berryl heard the edge to his voice that sent a shiver down her spine. "I will not let him take you. I will not let anyone take you."
He slid his free hand down to her wrist where he gripped it gently. “You will never wear shackles again."
Berryl smiled as she looked up at him. She felt an errant tear escape from the corner of her eye and she quickly wiped it away. She looked down but Darion pressed his hand against her back.
“Don't hide from me,” Darion said, cupping her cheek.
Berryl huffed a laugh. “Why are you so nice to me?"
The corner of Darion’s lip quirked. “I’m not nice, remember?”
“You are to me.”
I go by Annova on all other platforms, including AO3 where all my fics are crossposted to. I am a gamer whose main focus is Classic WoW but I enjoyed many fandoms. This blog is multifandom and kind of chaotic but it's a place for me to post/reblog things that make me happy! And I hope you find some happiness here too!
My World of Warcraft masterlist is below but you can find all of my fics on my AO3 here
If you started following me from my Devil's Consort series from the Baldur's Gate 3 fandom, I am currently on hiatus from that. I do not have a return date for that fandom, but I hope to one day start writing it again!

Things to keep in mind!
My blog is not entirely SFW/SFT so please keep that in mind. While I try not to post expressly explicit content, I do not censor myself either. I am in my 30s and I would ask that you are over 18 if you are interacting with my content as well.
I do my best to approach any and all people with respect, dignity, and empathy. This is a safe space for all people. You matter, you belong, I see you, and I will always support you.
My OCs (listed below, as well as their ships) are not explicit self-inserts, however, I am deeply attached to them. If you are not open to OCxCanon content that leans towards self-shipping, this may not be the space for you.
My writing is explicit and almost always contains adult elements that explore trauma, violence, romance, kink (of all kinds), and many other things. I try to tag appropriately, but please be forewarned when reading.
While I do not currently accept requests, I am always open to questions, worldbuilding, lore exploration, etc. I want to talk about my world and I would love to hear about yours too!
Current OC and ships:
FrostFire (Annaya Dawnfire x Grand Magister Rommath) WoW
Not canon, so unnamed currently but subject to change (Annaya x Rommath x Astalor) WoW
SoulBind (Berryl Nightvale x Highlord Darion Mograine) WoW
