Candy floss is questing! Episode 1/25

Candy floss sighed to herself as she entered the next room of Frank Presents: The Insanely Frightening Haunted House. Once again, the haunted house was leaving a lot to be desired. Obviously fake ghosts hung on strings and one animatronic ghost was malfunctioning, barely rising above the chair it was stationed behind. Candy floss thought the only good thing about the haunted house was she hadn't paid to get in, a friend had bought her the ticket.

Continuing onward, Candy floss started wondering what she should tell her friend about the haunted house. Candy floss didn't want to seem ungrateful for the gift, but the poorly executed display of "haunted" decorations made her wish her friend hadn't spent the moles at all. Candy floss was so distracted by her thoughts, she failed to notice she wasn't the only one currently in the obviously-put-together-as-a-monetary-scam haunted house.

"Oh how lovely," Candy floss muttered sarcastically. "A room of inflatable, oversized mushrooms."

Candy floss vowed never to tell anyone about how she became lost in the inflatable forest of mushrooms for several excruciatingly long minutes. she smacked one of the mushrooms, causing it to let out a low hisssss as it began deflating. Candy floss started moving faster to avoid getting caught having accidentally broken one of the props, once again failing to notice she wasn't alone in the haunted house.

"Well this room isn't as bad as the others," Candy floss grumbled out loud as she entered a section of the house decorated like a graveyard.

"I'm inclined to agree," said an unknown voice making Candy floss jump, "But the walls are just covered in printed plastic sheets."

"And the tombstones are obviously styrofoam," added a second unknown voice. Candy floss looked around surprised to find she wasn't alone in the room.

"The glowing crystal isn't a bad touch," the first voice, belonging to a strange owl responded. "Not sure why a crystal would be in a graveyard though..."

"Let's find out!" the owner of the second voice said excitedly, racing towards the strange gem.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 5/25

"Don't touch it!" Candy floss shouted too late. The peculiar creature barely reached the crystal when the room went black. Candy floss lost her baring as there was suddenly no up or down, nothing to be seen, and nothing to be heard. For an undeterminable amount of time, which may have been less than a second or months long, Candy floss floated in the vastness (or minuteness?) of nothingness.

With a loud wham!, Candy floss thumped onto a cold, gray floor. "Ohhh, my head..." Candy floss grumbled as she stood herself up, quickly realizing something was wrong with her body.

"What happened to you?" called the barely familiar sound of the strange owl...only it was coming from a bat?

"Oh no, oh no, oh no," came the voice of the peculiar creature who was now...large and furry instead of small and scaly.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 6/25

"What's wrong with me?" shouted Candy floss, discovering her limbs were covered in blue scales.

"You? Look at me!" responded the large, furry creature.

"I have to get out of here!" Candy floss shouted, running off, the others following behind him.

"Let's calm down, please," said the owl-bat as they reached a large room where it was difficult to tell down from up. "We're all experiencing something strange and getting over-excited will be of no assistance to us."

"Oh! Oh-ho!" came yet another new voice to Candy floss. "Seems you three have gotten yourselves into some trouble, haven't ya?" Candy floss looked towards the new voice, finding a young Thunder Monster in the room with them. "Oh I've seen this before," the Thunder Monster said as it examined them. "Only way to fix it is to find what caused it."

"And how do we do that?" the furry creature responded with indignity.

"The quest is afoot!" a cried the owl-bat before anyone else could respond.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 7/25

Candy floss followed the Thunder Monster - whose name Candy floss now knew to be "Alder", and that Alder was much older than he looked - out a door and into a foggy wood of bare-branched trees. The owl-bat, Gerald, flew excitedly over the barren trees, seeming to enjoy himself, with the once-not-so-furry creature Eldag following behind them.

"A green crystal you said?" asked Alder the Thunder Monster. "That might be hard to find around these parts."

"Could a different gem help us?" Candy floss asked.

"No, other ones will just make things worse for you, we need to find another bright green one. The same exact one if we can."

Candy floss huffed, seeing Gerald enjoying himself perhaps a little too much for the current circumstances.

Gerald's over-excitement led to trouble faster than Candy floss could have imagined.

"Oh look! A crystal!" Gerald shouted as he divided towards a bright, glittering crystal underneath the river they were travelling along.

"Gerald - don't!" Candy floss once again shouted too late.

Gerald barely reached the surface of the river when a bright flash overtook Candy floss's body, her limbs aching, stretching, contorting to unnatural shapes and angles. A quick glance revealed the bodies of Gerald and Eldag doing the same.

"Now you've done it," Alder the Thunder Monster said as Candy floss felt her limbs finally begin to settle.

"Eeep!" came Gerald's voice followed quickly by a soft splash!

"I've got 'im," Alder said as he waded into the river, pulling a not-quite-small-but-not-quite-large mouse to the bank.

"I'm still furry!" wailed Eldag. "I miss my beautiful green scales!"

"I did warn yeh," Alder scolded.

Candy floss looked at her reflection in the water, sighing as he saw a face which wasn't her own looking back at her.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 10/25

"Arrrgh!" Candy floss shouted as she found herself being entangled in some very unruly and unkind vines.

"It's a trap!" screamed Eldag.

"We're going to die!" yelped Gerlad.

"Don't be so dramatic," Alder replied calmly as a set of vines twirled themselves around him. "They're just having a bit of fun."

"This is fun?" Candy floss cried as vines hoisted her into the air.

"Not fun at all!" Eldag shrieked in alarm as vines turned her upside-down.

"Actually, I think it's quite relaxing now that I'm used to it," Gerald replied serenely as vines swung him side to side.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 11/25

"See? They're helpful little things once you stop frightening them," Alder the Thunder Monster said as the somehow conscious vines carried him through the dense trees.

"It is nice not having to walk," Gerald responded, glancing at the bog below them.

Candy floss grumbled as she was passed vine to vine, noticing Eldag didn't seem too pleased either.

"Ah, here we go," Alder said as vines set him down on a clearing in the bog. "This seems like a good spot to continue on foot... claw... paw?"

Candy floss sighed in relief to feel ground below herself again, even if it wasn't firm ground.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 12/25

"Which way should we go?" Candy floss asked Alder.

"Let's try this way," Eldag said, leading the way.

Candy floss glanced at Alder who merely shrugged. "Any way is a good way." Candy floss sighed, following behind the others.

"Oh no.. Oh no oh no..." Candy floss looked around the others hearing Eldag's worried voice. Eldag started to back up quickly, ramming into Gerald then Alder.

"What is it?" Candy floss asked anxiously as Alder was rammed into her. Yet no one was able to answer, for as one they fell into the swampy water beside them.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 13/25

Candy floss gargled wordlessly as she is pulled down into the depths of the marshy water, dragged along by the torrent of a strong whirlpool. Through brief glances from spinning, she sees the rest of her group being dragged down along with her. Slowly the little light available from the world above disappears, leaving Candy floss to twirl along the whirlpool in darkness.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 14/25

A loud shuck! and a soft thump leaves Candy floss laying on the muddy floor of a dark and expansive cavern. Candy floss watches as one by one the whirlpool drops his comrades onto the ground around her. Holding her head, Candy floss squints looking around the dark, damp cavern.

"I think I see some light down this way," Gerald says as he starts down a vague path.

Candy floss glances in concern at Eldag and Alder before following after Gerald.

"It's getting rather hot," Gerald pants as the cavern begins to fill with steam.

"Where is it coming from?" Eldag asks, getting her answer much sooner than she expected as a small flame shoots up from the ground beside her.

"Careful, dearies," Alder softly calls. "Lots of dangerous places down here."

"You're telling me," Candy floss says sarcastically, not noticing the shining red gem hidden behind the flames before her.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 16/25

A mighty fwoosh! sends Candy floss and her comrades flying up into the cavern. How was Candy floss to know there was a dangerous crystal beside her? Candy floss screamed in fear between the quickly approaching cavern roof and the feeling of her limbs once again stretching and contorting. Yet Candy floss's cries fell on deaf ears, as no one could hear her over their own shrill screams and rushing steam carrying them all upwards through a narrow cavern shaft.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 17/25

Caught in the rising steam fueled by the roaring inferno below, Candy floss, Alder, Eldag, and Gerald emerge from a fissure, spit high into the night sky above.

Alder seemed to be enjoying himself as he clasped his hands behind his head, freefalling through the sky. Candy floss reached for Alder, fearing for all of their safety, when a breeze caught her wings pulling them open, causing her to glide right past Alder.

Candy floss cried out in confusion and alarm as the breeze began to carry her away from the others.

"We're coming, Candy floss!" she vaguely heard someone shout behind him.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 18/25

Candy floss sighed in relief as he splashed into a lake high in the nearby mountains. Soft calls from above the water let her know the others had successfully followed her and landed safely. Candy floss emerged from the water pulling herself onto the rocky ground, staring wide-eyed at Eldag and Gerald.

"Shut it, Alder!" Eldag said angrily, her transparent body hovering ominously.

Yet this anger didn't phase Alder, who cackled in glee. "Look at yourselves! Such chaos you three create!"

Gerlad perched, preening his long feathers. "At least this is closer to normal for me. Being stuck as a wingless-mouse was terrible."

"Are there winged mice where you're from?" Candy floss asked curiously.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 19/25

"What is that?" Eldag asks, looking around with alarm.

"What's what?" Candy floss asked suspiciously. Yet she didn't wait long for an answer, as the water from the lake began to climb up her legs. Candy floss quickly flexed her wings, taking to the air.

Eldag floated grumpily after him, with Gerald taking a moment to grab Alder from the quickly rising water. Alder complained loudly as they flew away from the flooding lake. Candy floss spotted a brightly shining crystal beside the lake, causing her to flap her wings faster.

"You lot are no fun," Alder continued to complain as they rose higher and higher among the mountainside.

"We're not here for fun," Candy floss hissed.

"Aren't you?" Alder countered, causing Candy floss to pause.

"Do you see that?" Eldag questioned, pointing towards a shining object on the mountainside. Candy floss's eyes widened spotting a bright green gem nestled on a rocky ledge. "This is it!" Eldag shouted in excitement, doing her best to hover towards the crystal. Gerald sympathetically flew behind Eldag, flapping his wings to push her along faster.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 21/25

Candy floss reached the rocky ledge first, landing beside the glowing crystal. It did appear the same as the type they had encountered in the haunted house. Approaching carefully, Candy floss squawked in alarm as her limbs began to stretch and contort once again.

"It worked!" she heard Gerald call landing beside her. Candy floss watched as the bodies of Gerald and Eldag both began to change, noticing Alder smiling mischievously behind them.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 22/25

"Okay, we're back to normal," Candy floss said in relief. "But how do we get back home?"

"The crystal brought us here, could it take us back?" Eldag asked, now happily back in her scaly form.

"The crystal only transports one way," Alder cackles.

Candy floss narrowed her eyes at Alder, "So how do we get home?"

Alder smiled wide, "It's no fun if I tell you."

Candy floss sighed in frustration, she looked around them, trying to find something, anything. "What about...that?" she asked, signaling towards a set of branches creating an archway.

"Let's find out," Gerald said taking the lead.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 23/25

"Oh very good eyes you have there, Candy floss!" Alder called as he climbed the twisting branches of the archway, perching himself at the top.

"How does this work?" Gerald asked, landing on a branch.

Candy floss approached the archway cautiously, "Will this really get us home?"

"Or at least back to the haunted house?" Eldag asked.

"Only one way to find out," Alder smiled. Candy floss took a deep breath, closing her eyes, quickly entering the archway, Gerald and Eldag following. Candy floss heard Alder's voice calling after them, "Thanks for visiting Frank's Insanely Frightening Haunted House!"

Candy floss is questing! Episode 24/25

Candy floss blinked in surprise, finding himself suddenly back inside the obviously-fake graveyard filled with styrofoam tombstones. Eldag quickly raced to the only door on the far side of the room, wailing in surprise as a giant inflatable vampire swung down in front of her. Even Gerald let out a hoot! of surprise.

Candy floss took one last look around the room, spotting the troublesome gem near the entrance, and shot out the door after Gerald and Eldag.

Candy floss is questing! Episode 25/25

Candy floss paused outside the haunted house with Gerald and Eldag, looking back at the half-hearted decorations marking the building. Eldag and Gerald shared their relief of finally being back home, and were talking of telling their friends of the crazy adventure they went on.

Turns out Frank's Insanely Frightening Haunted House had a lot more to offer than first appearances revealed. Candy floss wasn't so certain anypet would believe her though unless they witnessed it themselves... Was that why Candy floss's friend bought her the ticket and sent her alone?
