If you want to know the Story behind today's Daily Puzzle, here it is. It's from the Neopedia

The Grey Faerie

Thunderclouds loom over the top of the mountain, rain coming down like hammers and nails. Locked in her iron cage, she shivers while the shadows whisper their teasing taunts. The thunder rolls, and she looks up at the sky.

Just then, the shadows peel away, and a darker shadow appears. Her eyes mocking and triumphant, she stands over the cage. "No one is coming to rescue you," the shadow tells her. "You are trapped here forever, because I know the secret: a Faerie without wings is completely helpless!"

The Grey Faerie said nothing. She kept her eyes low and to the ground, so she would not have to look at her captor. The shadow laughed again and walked away. "A Faerie with clipped wings!" it said to its fellow shadows. "Lost all her powers, lost all her beauty..." the shadow paused for a moment, looking back at the cage. "Lost all hope."

The shadows disappeared, leaving her alone with the cold sunrise, but at sunset, they would be back, to taunt her further. She would cry, but her eyes had no more tears. There were no birds on this mountaintop, no friendly animals to hear her call for help.

The day crawled by, scorching sun burning down on her, without even a blanket to shade herself from the heat. The little water she got from the rain was already dried up. She tried to sleep, tried to escape to the realm of dreams, but the magical lock on her cage kept her from even that small comfort.

At around noon, she felt something move across her shoulder. She looked up. A shadow? She turned. Someone standing with the halo of the sun over their shoulder. "Who?" she whispered, her parched throat hurting from even a single word.

The figure stepped forward. A little Kyrii with walking shoes, a cap, and a travelling pack. "My name is Tavi," she said. "Who are you?"

"I -- I --" the Grey Faerie paused, her eyes gazing down at the lock on the door of her cage. "Please!" the Grey Faerie whispered. "Please! Help me!"

"How?"

The Grey Faerie pointed at the lock, afraid to touch the iron bars. "The lock. It has a name. If you whisper the name, it will open."

"The lock has a name?" Tavi said, putting down her pouch. "Do you know what the name is?"

The Grey Faerie nodded. "I do, but I cannot say it."

"Hm." Tavi looked at the lock. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

The lock chuckled. "You will never guess my name, little Kyrii, and I will never tell it, for I serve Jennumara, and her powers are greater than any in the world!"

"A Darkness Faerie!" Tavi whispered. She took a step back, but then saw the Grey Faerie's eyes widen, the hope there being devoured by fear. Right then and there, she knew she had to help the Faerie, no matter what the cost.

"I will play a game with you, little lock," she said, putting down her pack. "A game of guesses."

"What kind of game?" the lock asked, it's voice ringing with suspicion.

"We each get three questions, and after each question, I'll guess at your name, and you guess at what's in my pack. I cannot ask you your name, and you cannot ask what's in my pack." She gestured back at the pack. "I have three things in there. If you guess even one of them before I guess your name, I will join the Faerie in the cage; but, if I guess your name before that, you let the Faerie go free."

The lock laughed. "That's too easy!" it said. "You are obviously a mountain climber. I know what's in your pack."

"If it is so easy, why don't you agree to the terms of the game?"

The lock laughed again. "All right, foolish little Kyrii. I agree. Why, I'll even let you go first!"

"Very well," Kyrii said. "Here's my first question." She pointed at the Grey Faerie in the cage. "What's her name?"

The lock screamed out loud. "No! That's cheating!"

"Go on," Tavi smiled. She knew she had the lock beat, right there and then. "You have to tell me her name."

The lock grumbled. "Her name is Baelia," it said.

"Then, your name is Baelia, isn't it?" Tavi asked.

Again, the lock grumbled, then made a loud click. The door swung open and the Grey Faerie stumbled out of the cage.

"Thank you!" she said, hugging Tavi tightly. "But, how did you know?"

"When I asked your name, you did not answer, but looked at the lock. When you said the lock had a name, I knew the spell must have used your own name to keep you inside."

"You are wise," the lock said. "But not wise enough! My lady of shadow will find you, Faerie, and when she does, she'll trap you as she did before."

Tavi looked at the Grey Faerie. "Is it right?"

The Grey Faerie nodded. "Yes. I am powerless without wings. In order to get new wings, I must get a new name."

Tavi put her pack back on her shoulder. "All right, then, we have to get you a new name!" She started to walk away, then stopped, turned and looked at the Grey Faerie. "Exactly how do we do that?"

Soup Faerie


At the forefront of the Neopian Marketplace stands a small homely cottage shaped like a pot. That's where you can find the Soup Faerie.

The Soup Faerie is a kind and gentle soul. Unlike the other Faeries, she cares very little for her own appearance, preferring to spend her time helping the starving pets of Neopia. Any pet she comes across who is malnourished will be given free food and a warm bed until they are ready to brave the world.



The Soup Kitchen

There is a very large cauldron of soup in the Soup Kitchen! The Soup Faerie looks after it and makes sure there is always a plentiful supply for hungry pets.

If you don't have many Neopoints, you can always come to the Soup Kitchen to get free food for your pets. The Soup Kitchen is kept running by donations from the Money Tree, so make sure one day when you are rich that you donate!!!

How do you get free soup?
Remember, the Soup Faerie knows how much is in your Bank AND your Shop Till :)

If you are too rich, you will get this message:
Oh dear! You have XXXXXXXX Neopoints! Only really poor people (under 3,000 NP) can get handouts at the Soup Kitchen.

A Story from Neopedia:

The Soup Faerie

It's early in the morning, the sun isn't even awake yet, but the Soup Faerie is.

She's stirring the pot, adding this and that, getting ready for the long line outside her little cottage. The canisters on her shelves have no labels� all the ingredients are secret. Nobody stirs the pot but her. Of course, it isn't just any old ordinary cast iron pot. Like they say, in Faerieland, everything is magical. Even the dirty dishwater.



She pulls out the big wooden spoon (she never uses a metal one) and gives it a taste. Her face lingers for a moment, eyes closed, as she considers. Then, she reaches to those canisters on the wall, pulls one down, and adds just a touch of something that smells like it could be a little asparagus or maybe something a bit more exotic. It's always tough to tell.

A few more minutes of simmering and the soup will be ready. She puts the top back on the pot and wipes her hands on her apron� then she turns to peek out the door. A line has already started and reaches back as far as she can see. A little smile curls on her lips. "Almost," she says. "Almost ready."

She turns back to the pot... The pot!!!

The spot where it rested... now an empty space. The smell of the soup still lingers in the air, but the pot is gone. She runs around to every corner of her cottage, looking for any sign of an intruder... any sign of the pot.

Nothing.

Gone.

Lost.



She's collapsed on the hardwood floor, listening to their voices outside -- the hungry pets waiting for her to open her door. She shakes her head slowly, keeping the tears from escaping. Then, slowly, she rubs her hands on her apron, lifts herself to her feet, and walks to the door...

Soup Faerie

Here are some articles on the Soup Faerie at the Neopian Times:
1. The True Face of a Faerie: Soup Faerie
2. Theoretical Lily: the Soup Faerie's Ingredients

Lastly, the Avatar.

The soup faerie will give out her avatar randomly for those who feed their pet at her kitchen. Sigh... when I was poor, I was too busy making NP. Didn't know anything about this cute avatar. Now that I have made the NP, I am too rich to be able to feed my pet there. So ... I will have to say sayonara to this avatar. ... sobbing away... stomping feet... screaming "I want my soup avatar!!!!"

When you explore around the neopet site, you may get a quest from a faerie. This is usually random events. Something like the "Something has happened". It will just suddenly pop up on the screen.



When you found the items, you tell the faerie that you have the item and you will be rewarded.



note: That quest cost me 3200np. Worth it? To me yes because if I were to send it to the training school, it will cost me 2 codestones which cost more than 3k and you need to wait for 4 hours.

You can choose to do the quest or reject it. To accept or reject go here to do so. If you choose to reject, you will not be given another quest for 600 minutes. But then it's random. So who knows when you will get another tasks. It's has been weeks since I got a quest. But yesterday, I got 2 quests back to back from earth faerie. The useless quests. .

Before I go on, I will talk a little about faerie. So what exactly is faerie? According to the Neopedia:

Faeries are tiny magical creatures that live in Neopia. Meeting one is said to be very lucky indeed, as they can bless your pets with all sorts of powers and abilities. A pet must be strong enough to control the faeries spells though, so if your pet is inexperienced then the faerie may just fly away. There are many different types of faeries with differring powers, abilities and temperaments.

So what is a quest?
A quest is actually a task that the faerie ask you to do. There will be rewards after you complete the task.

The following faeries' quest has no time limit.


Air Faerie

The Air Faeries are magical, joyous little creatures who love to dance on the wind. Meet one and it will bless your pet with abilities from the sphere of air - powers such as invisibility, haste or flight.

Ask For: Grooming Item
Rewards: +1 Movement Point
Recommedation: No. Movement points do nothing in battle and it would be wasting NP.


Earth Faerie

The Earth Faeries live in the forests of Neopia, making their homes between the branches of the tallest trees. They love to collect and store items, and try and hide themselves from the creatures far, far below. They can grant powers such as toughened skin, the ability to magically create food or burrow into the ground.

Ask For: Magic Items like healing potions
Rewards: Heal your pet and make them not hungry
Recommendation: Worth it? Some say "No". Not unless the item is under 100np or you have extra in your SDB.


Fire Faerie

Fire Faeries are mischievous urchins that inhabit the hotter realms of Neopia. They love nothing better than playing tricks and causing havoc wherever they go. If you want a strong creature in combat then visit these Faeries, as they can grant many battle magics.

Ask For: Clothing
Rewards: +1 Strength Point
Recommedation: Yes because most clothing are cheap.


Water Faerie

Swimming in the rivers and streams, unseen by most, are the Water Faeries. They can be heard singing quietly at night, but only if they aren't aware that you are near. They specialise in healing and defensive powers that will protect your pet from harm.

Ask For: Books
Rewards: +1 Defense Point
Recommedation: It depends on the price of the book. Some said that if it's under 4000np, it's worth it to do the quest.


Light Faerie

Living on clouds on the upper levels of Neopia are the radiant Light Faeries. Devoted to the cause of good, they will rarely stray deep down to the lower levels. If a creature is noble and bold of heart, these magical sprites can grant him or her holy powers such as bless and restore.

Ask For: Trading Card
Rewards: +1 Level
Recommedation: Again it depends on the card she asks for. If it's under 4000np, that it's worth it.


Dark Faerie

And lastly, the Dark Faeries, minions of the evil one himself. Lying in wait to tempt those weak of heart, the power granted by these evil imps is great, but at a price. These evil Faerie abilities include creating darkness, draining life and vision at night.

Ask For: Toys
Rewards: +1 Hit Point
Recommedation: Do it because most of the toys she asked for are under 1000np.


Fyora

Fyora aka the Faerie Queen spends most of her time in her enormous castle in Faerieland. From here she rules over all the other faeries and keeps the Hidden Tower stocked with incredible rare items.

Ask For: Random
Rewards: Random stat boosts
Recommedation: Definately because she will gives multiple statistic boosts. Plus it doesn't happen very often.


Fountain Faerie

She is found in Faerieland Rainbow Fountain, an eternal waterfall of magical Faerieland water!

Ask For: Usually Expensive Items
Rewards: You get to enter the Rainbow Fountain where you can choose to paint one of your pets ANY color.
Recommedation: Definately. I painted my bruce to disco when I did her task. It cost me only 90,000np. Definately cheaper than buying a paintbrush. Check out your pet's color and what you want to paint your pet. Then check the price of the paintbrush. If it's cheaper than the item she asked her, don't do it.


Space Faerie

Living amongst the stars, the Space Faerie rarely visits Neopia. She will only do so in case of an utmost emergency!

Ask For: Random
Rewards: +4 Levels
Recommedation: If it is under 15,000NP, go for it.

Timed Quests:
You have to complete these quests within an allocated time. They usually give you 16 minute time limits to complete the task. You can do them once every 12 hours. However, if you feel that it's not worth the neopoints to do the task, you can reject. Just come back in 12 hours to check for the next task.


Snow Faerie (Taelia)
Ask For: Random (Usually candy)
Rewards: Random (usually snow items, NP, and other items)
Recommedation: If it is under 2000NP or so, yes.

How do I complete Quests?

When you are on a quest you will be asked for a certain item, piece of information or group of items. Once you have what you were asked for, simply go back to the person that gave you the quest and give them what they want.

Faerie Quests - Just go back to the quests page with the item in your inventory. If it is in your Safety Deposit Box it won't work.

Brain Tree Quests - Go back to the Brain Tree and type in your answer.

Edna the Witch or Esophagor Quests - Go back to the Haunted Woods and click on Edna or the Esophagor. As long as you have the correct items in your inventory, they will take them from you. If the items are in your Safety Deposit Box you will have to take them out first.

Kitchen Quests - Return to the Island Kitchen with the items in your inventory.


Other Faeries that doesn't give quest:


The Negg Faerie

This elusive little character resides deep within the Neggery. It is a very chilly place in the ice caves, but if you make the trek to visit her you may be well rewarded :) Neggs are very pricy rewards that she gives out randomly.

The Tooth Faerie

The Tooth Faerie is a unique type of Faerie. She spends her days whizzing around Neopia giving people Neopoints when they lose their teeth. Randomly she will gives you an avatar too.

The Soup Faerie

The Soup Faerie is a kind and gentle soul. Unlike the other Faeries, she cares very little for her own appearance, preferring to spend her time helping the starving pets of Neopia. Any pet she comes across who is malnourished will be given free food and a warm bed until they are ready to brave the world. However, she will only feed poor pets. So if your total fortune is more than 2000np, sorry to say this, she won't feed you.

The Battle Faerie

In olden times of war this magical creature was said to help inexperienced pets learn to defend themselves and on rare occasions teach the strongest ones a lesson they would never forget.

Jhuidah the Island Faerie

Jhuidah watches over the Island Cooking Pot. Sometimes she adds a dash of magic to your recipes to help you create something extremely rare and unusual.

The Grey Faerie

A poor miserable creature that has lost her magical powers and can't even fly. So far we have only heard of one although there may be many more hiding around Neopia.
