Duzell did not understand the flyer he was holding. “Come redeem your free pet! One time only offer!” Never mind that he had no idea who, or what, could have made it or even how it ended up inside his coat pocket. The directions lead to the middle of a nasty swamp, the middle of nowhere really. Nysath had dropped him off at the edge of the swamp, claiming that he didn’t want to get himself filthy with swamp much. He had said that he would be waiting for Duzell when he got back, even if Nysath did not understand why Duzell wanted to go anyway. It is most likely some form of joke, at best. You do know that? Duzell had waved the dragon’s worries aside. The bright pink flyer promised free pets! Now that he was standing in the murk which gurgled and fizzed with every step he took Duzell was beginning to wish he had listened to Nysath this time. Someone was probably getting a good laugh at him right now. He’d come back to the Nexus and one of the other riders would laugh at him and ask how long he had been standing in the middle of a swamp. Just when Duzell was about to turn back he spotted…was that a table? It looked like a bright pink table had been set up in the swamp and was covered in various cages. He was still too far away to see if anyone was there but he whispered a prayer that whoever they were they were friendly.

A figure sat behind the overloaded table watching the approach of an odd man. "Quickly now quickly. I don't have all day." The voice didn't sound masculine or feminine and you couldn't make out any of their details, as though they were covered in a thick haze.
Hobbling over to Duzell the figure snatched the flyer out of his hands and examined it. "Oh very good! Yes, yes I have just the thing for you."
Wobbling back over to the table the figure picked up one cage after another examining each of their contents. Some cages were set back down gently, while others were simply tossed aside to land where ever they may please. "Where are you? I could have sworn... Ah! Here you are!" The figure picked up a small cage that seemed to have some sort of peach colored crystal growing out of it.
Wandering back over to him the figure placed the cage in his hands. Inside Duzell would find a creature made of jagged peach crystal. Hidden in the very back corner of the cage only a faint glow could be seen. What could it be?
((Congratulations! Within the cage is a male, jagged, bio-luminescent, peach Osidae

Duzell was even more confused as he examined the cage and the strange animal he now possessed. It looked like a spider, if spiders were peach and made of sharp crystal. Oh, and did he mention that the thing was glowing? Duzell held the cage up so he could get a better look at the creature. As soon as he did the spider jumped at the bars of the cage, hissing and trying to bite at Duzell’s face. Alarmed, he dropped the cage. “Umm, if it’s all the same to you, I don’t think I want it.” Duzell turned to give it back to the strange person but they were gone. Both the person and their table full of cages had simply vanished, leaving nothing behind but a bubbling, smelly swamp. The only proof they had never been there at all was the unruly spider trying to escape its cage at Duzell’s feet. Picking up the cage Duzell began the long trek back out of the swamp. The spider thrashed in its cage. “Calm down, will you Princess. You’re not going anywhere. I think we’re stuck with each other. ” Princess hissed in response and did not stop trying to break out of the cage.
Nysath was indeed waiting at the edge of the swamp when Duzell and Princess finally crawled out of the murk. You smell terrible. Nysath started down at the cage that was rattling and shaking in Duzell’s hand. Duzell held it up so Nysath could get a better look. Why in the world did you bring an Osidae home with you? I cannot leave you alone for a second without you getting into trouble. “Are they really so bad?” The ones made out of smooth crystal are quite harmless. Yours however, has a much more acerbic temperament. I would not let it too close to my skin if I were you. “Are they dangerous?” Quite, their venom will turn you to crystal, painfully. Duzell sighed and stared at his glowing spider. “Fine Princess, you get to stay in the cage. Back to the Nexus Nysath! I can’t wait to show everyone. I wonder if they’ve ever seen an Osidae before?”
