Description

_Chapter 1: Signs_
StoryQuest



A faint, warm wind carries the light scent of  green leaves and clear water through the early night sky. The silver moon shines bright and casts its light gently onto two cat-sized critters, coated in colourful fur.
Not much disturbs the overall silence but the far whistling of the wind , running slowly through the trees and grass like soft water untill one of the two critters opens his maw.

Odhran: ".. Have you .. ever wondered where we came from, Cináed?" The little guy covered in green still looks at the river instead of facing his friend.
Cináed: "Well, I don't know for you, but I hatched from a Matteregg like everyone else , you weirdo" The striped fella blinks confused.
Odhran: "That was not what I meant-" Instead of being able to talk he simply gets interrupted.
Cináed: "You know? Two get together, or three, or four, and -" Cinaéd starts to guesture with his paw-ish hands befor the green one cuts him off.
Odhran: "Cinaéd. Do you even listen to me? This is not about Mattereggs. "
Cináed: "...oh."
Odhran: "Did you ever wonder where the first Matteregg came from?" His eyelids lowered, Odhran glares up into the sky.
Cináed: "No I .. actually didn't I just ... maybe it was alwas there?" 
Odhran: "I think it must have been created somehow, by something that wasn't one of us."
Cináed: "But ... if it wasn't us, who could have ever created a Matteregg? You talk nonsense, Odhran." Squinting his eyes, Cináed now looks over to Odhran.
Odhran: "Our gods." The green one, too, faces his friend now.
Cináed: "...we have gods? Who are they?!" Cináed accentuates his confusion by tilting his head.
Odhran: "I .. am not quite sure. I can barely recall the last time I have heard of them. 
              If they exist they are nothing more but a faint whisper of the universes infinity. "
Cináed: "Wait are .... are you trying to lure me into some weird adventure-thing? Stuff like: ' Come on, Cináed, ol' lad- let's find our gods, will be fun I tell ya' ?"
Odhran: "I realized how bored you have been the past weeks, don't try to pretend that you are too lazy for adventures."
Cináed: "..... ya- this planet is quite boring, actually.. your plan sounds better than laying around here the whole day." A loud yawn ends the sentence.
Odhran: "I knew you'd say so! I get my stuff ready- you pack your things as well ." Already excited, Odhran wants to get up only to get interrupted by the tiger.
Cináed: "But if we search for some gods.. we might need some help, too."
Odhran: "Good point. We could use all the help we can get - maybe others are asking themselvs where we originated from, too."
Cináed: "Wicked! I know a few lads who could help us!"
Odhran: "I guess your odd friends are not enough company this time- we will need far more."
Cináed: "Oh, well, alright then - you go ahead- I am not the best with 'contacting others around the universe' "
Odhran: "You will never learn how to do it, will you?"
Cináed: "Didn't plan to- no. I know how to use wormholes for fast-travel, but it would take too long to 
             go to everyone around aaaaall the galaxies only to ask them if they wanna join - 
             I'd have to repeat the same question over and over again"
Odhran: "You don't have to do that. That's what Galaxy-Whisps are for, Cináed."
Cináed: "Oh I barely remember, wasn't it this weird communication system you told me about two weeks ago"
Odhran: "Two days ago, but yes- these multi-dimensional whisps can carry the meaning of a message with them 
              and jump in the wink of an eye from one galaxy to another. 
              They appear in different forms and shapes to whoever looks at them- pretty interesting little guys. I'll get them ready to jump."
Cináed: "So... do they talk?"
Odhran: "No. they just emit the meaning of our request, a feeling- the knowing of what is going on and what form our adventure is that we invite to."
Cináed: "... don't tell me you have to pay them"
Odhran: "No- it is free for me- they find me rather charming."
Finally the green one gets up from his spot , stretches and looks at Cináed one last time before leaving.
Odhran: "You better not start complaining that you forgot something here when we're on our way."



Task:
The whisp has arrived and spawns in front of, or close to your NebNom, emitting its knowledge instantly!
How does your NebNom take the news of the planned adventure?
Draw your NebNom with the whisp (keep in mind that the whisp may have any shape that is comfortable to look at for your NebNom)

You may:
  • Draw your NebNom with friends of them.
  • Draw your NebNom and the whisp in any surrounding as they can be at any location/planet/galaxy in this moment.
  • Draw your entry or enter with literature.
You May Not:
  • Make a NebNom for this quest without having a MYO ticket
  • use other peoples NebNoms without their permission in your picture unless they are listed as friends of your NebNom
At this point I would like to empathize that we would appreciate to mainly have drawings as the purpose 
of this arpg is also to try out drawing new things some of you might have never tried to draw before. 
This is not about the quality, but we would like to see all your effort you are able to put into your work.
Always remember: everybody gains a cookie!)
