*A Travel Guide to Northwest Kyngdom That is Totally Not Top Secret and Has Nothing to Do with Anything Important
So you want to take a trip to Northwest Kyngdom? Wonderful! Pack your bags, grow an extra layer of fur, and hop onto the Badger Express, the high-speed badger-drawn train that will carry you northward.
Travel tip: The Badger Express has a wonderful dining car that serves a creamy, piping-hot soup called Pinesüppe: root vegetables simmered for hours with pine needles and topped off with a rich drizzle of sap.
Once you disembark, take a moment to notice how your breath turns into an intricately-patterned fog in the air. There is a magic to northwest Kyngdom that no one can explain--almost everything here, no matter how dangerous, is aesthetically pleasing. Gaze at the fields of soft, untouched snow, the evergreens glimmering with icicles so elaborate that you would have sworn they were carved by artists, and the aurora borealis that dance through the sky like omens of a better life. This is the home of Regina, the Silver Reindeer, who is…just your average reindeer!
Travel tip: Pack light but warm! Bring lots of high-protein snacks--we recommend grubs! Regina is the guardian of Hoof!
Though Regina looks so noble so as to be unapproachable, she is actually very friendly, and loves showing newcomers around her land. She lives in a mansion (nobody said reindeer weren’t materialistic!) that she named Jökull, the Old Norse word for ice. It is a place of good cheer, where the super-sweet juice of the local Winter Black Cherry flows year-round (delicious over ice or warmed up!). Zephyra loves to spend her holidays here.
Travel tip: Examine Regina closely when she walks. Three of her feet are shod in beautiful mother-of-pearl horseshoes that glimmer when she walks, but the fourth bears only a rusty horseshoe. Look closely at that horseshoe. I think you know what it is. Don’t you?
Regina will warn you about the forest of blue juniper trees that look so appealing and smell like Christmas on a platter. This is the Decoy Forest, and its pull is strong. When you walk through it--which you should never do--you will see what you want to see. Lost loves will cry out to you from the trees. Your mother, as a teenager, may appear, begging you to be her friend. Ignore them all. Have another mug of Winter Black Cherry cider. Enjoy your stay.
Travel tip: The pull of the Decoy Forest? B.I.G. feels it, too. When Cornelia Hornshaw stares into the Forest, she sees an image of the Fourth Power. But she still doesn’t know where it’s located. She’s heading there now, though. Will anybody stop her?

Aha! Brazen Goo. Hardly a match for my skills.
Everyone seems frozen at Rigga just standing there. She's still talking about something- how we were outsmarted, how Brazen Goo is coating the door, yadda yadda yadda. I crouch down and tap my finger against the barrier. Three inches of solid steel coated with Goo. Fine then. Plan B.
"Hey Rigga,"I say, grinning at her. "Why do you think it's called Crow Dome?"
She frowns at me and totally ignores my question.
I simply cock my head and caw in the language of the Ravens.
And every single bird within three miles of here flies straight towards Rigga.
"Enjoy my new toy," I yell, turning myself into a dragon and tunneling into the earth."You really didnt expect me to try and TUNNEL my way instead?"

Dear Shadow,
By the time you receive this, you probably have reached my cell. Well duh. I put this letter in my cell.
I haven't known you for very long, but I still believe you're my sister, and I try not to harm you too much. If I can avoid it.
By now, I'm in Sky City, Kyngdom's largest economic and most heavily populated city. And I still have a bomb on my arm. You might be able to put the pieces together.
You still have time to save Sky City, but it's not too likely. I'll be in a disguise that they made me put on. Unfortunately, the whole thing about the Crow was a trap, made to make you run in the opposite direction.
I don't know which side I'm supposed to be on, because people on both sides like me. It's hard to be torn, but I had no choice. I didn't ask for this to happen.
I'm not doing this on purpose, I was forced to. The other choice would have been for everyone I love to die. The list isn't too long, but there are still people (and animals).
A last word: Shadow, thank you for never giving up on my even though I killed some of your friends. Gosh, that sounds bad. But it's true.
You really are my older sister.

I pull myself out of the tunnel, covered in dirt and grime. Wow. That took a lot of effort. The others are hammering on the dosr, so I should probaly let them in- but take care of Alexandria first.
We actually did it.
And then i see the empty, bare, clean cell. A letter. And no person.
I don't even know what to say. I dont know what to do. This whole thing was for nothing. All nothing.
We-my friends, everyone on that side of the door, every animal in general- have been crosed. Tricked. Whatever you want to call it. We played ourself. And nothing has come out of it. Nothing.
I yell and throw myself against the walls of the cell untill the whole complex is shaking.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, I switch back into human form and shove that infuriating door down. Brazen Goo on only one side. SO we cant get in and she can run out. Of course.
I open the door to see everyone standing right in front.
Wordlessly, I point at the empty walls and the single piece of paper.
-MoonR (who is okay, just has a bruised shoulder from slamming it into the wall)
(January 25, 2017 - 9:58 pm)
It was all a trick. All a trick. I was going to punch something.
I turn to the wall and slam my fist into it as hard as I can, and let out a scream. All of that time wasted. And now another city was going to fall.
The radio crackles to life. It was Elliot.
"SailHaven has taken off. Met me outside the base."
Without thinking about it, I turn around and run. And run. And run. Dodging people, punching who ever gets in my way. Nothing was going to stop me.
I burst out of the Emergency exit and run to the outside fence.
Then I see a shape on the horizon. A flying city.
I'm sorry if this goes against the story plot, but I AM GOING TO SAILHAVEN!!!!!
(January 25, 2017 - 10:48 pm)
SAILHAVEN IS BACK!
(January 25, 2017 - 11:30 pm)
So that was it. Alexandria wasn't here. She was forced to play Rigga's game, and now her and an entire city was going to perish. An entire city. It makes me sick to think that Rigga would manipulate an 11 year old girl like that. Shadow's just discovered the letter, and I stand in silence, waiting for her reaction.

Commotion is going on when Sprocket runs outside.
"Sprocket, wait!" I exclaim, running behind her. Trillian follows me.
Suddenly, I see my old home. SailHaven, in all of its splendor. Instantly thoughts of starting a medical school and a new life run through my head, but I can't take it all in. My home that I loved that outcasted me had just called me back.
And Sprocket, Trillian, and I to it, laughing and squealing all the way like little girls.
(January 25, 2017 - 11:31 pm)
So. Rigga will attempt to bomb a whole city.
That ain't happening on my watch.
"Come one," I say, shoving the letter in my pocket, "I'm sure we can make it in time. This is my little sister, the last part of my family I have left. Let's save a city."
(January 26, 2017 - 6:13 am)
Can Lycaella come? Not necessarily today, but I'm sure she would love to visit SailHaven.
(January 26, 2017 - 1:23 pm)
Yes.
(January 26, 2017 - 9:20 pm)
Yes! Thank you! And remember, you can still be Nygrune whenever you want.
(January 27, 2017 - 7:43 am)
what if we make SailHaven the new resistance base? Then we could move around without having to give up any of our resources.
(January 26, 2017 - 12:20 am)
That's just what I was thinking!
(January 26, 2017 - 5:39 pm)
SAILHAVEN!!!
(January 26, 2017 - 2:57 pm)
What's SailHaven and why is everyone so excited over it?
(January 26, 2017 - 6:27 pm)
SailHaven is a flying steampunk city where a lot of us came from. It crashed in Kyngdom a while back. I don't know much, but everyone missed it.
