Bit of a return to my roots, since I haven't actually been involved in the wizard101 fanbase in years, but this is a project I've had in my files for a while and I was in the mood to finish this.
I really liked the catacombs questline, it's easily one of my favorite parts of the entire game.

National Dog Day!
Happy National Dog Day!
Fala was born on April 7, 1940 and given to the President by Mrs. Augustus G. Kellogg of Westport, Connecticut, through Franklin Roosevelt's cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley. At first his name was Big Boy. Franklin renamed him "Murray the Outlaw of Falahill" after a Scottish ancestor. His nickname became Fala. Fala went to live in the White House on November 10, 1940. Every morning Fala had a bone that was brought up on the President's breakfast tray. At night, he slept in a special chair at the foot of the President's bed.
Fala loved to travel with the President on long and short trips by train, car, or boat. In August 1941, Fala was at the Atlantic Charter Conference in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland with the President and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of England. In September of the following year and again in April 1943, Fala went on inspection trips of defense plants and visited the President of Mexico, President Camacho. Later that year in August and then again in September 1944 he accompanied President Roosevelt to the Quebec Conferences. In 1944, Fala was with the President on a sea trip to the Aleutian Islands.

While in the White House, Fala was so popular that he received thousands of letters from people and animals from across the country. He had a secretary appointed to him to answer all his fan his mail.
In April of 1945, President Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia. Fala attended the funeral but seemed lost without his beloved master. He went to live with Mrs. Roosevelt at Val-Kill, where he spent his time running, playing and chasing squirrels and cats. On April 5, 1952, Fala passed away and was buried in the Rose Garden next to the sun dial not far from the graves of President and Mrs. Roosevelt on what would have been his twelfth birthday April 7, 1952.

O que as pessoas mais desejam é alguém que as escute de maneira calma e tranquila.
Em silêncio.
Sem dar conselhos.
Sem que digam:
“Se eu fosse você”.
A gente ama não é a pessoa que fala bonito.
É a pessoa que escuta bonito.
A fala só é bonita quando ela nasce de uma longa e silenciosa escuta.
É na escuta que o amor começa.
E é na não-escuta que ele termina.
Não aprendi isso nos livros.
Aprendi prestando atenção.
- Rubem Alves

Teenage life with chucky
Part 1
As the bell rang for hometime, everyone jumped out of their seats and rushed out of class with relief. Unlike my friends and i, we walked out of class talking about our plan for the weekend.
As i turned my head aside, i noticed something... colourful in a trash can. I was curious to find out what it was so i said to my friends...
