Hello there, my human frens! 👋
How did your February go? It's been a month, and I miss you all! 🥰 You might be wondering what your cute, little green reporter had been up to, causing me to miss the previous report. Well, last month was quite busy for me, and I ended up draining all of my energy. Thus, I needed a little breather! 💨
And there’s no better way than traveling, sightseeing, and market hopping! 🤩 But guess what? As I traveled from one place to another, I stumbled upon new and interesting stories that I had never heard before. 👂 Ready? Let's dive right in!
Election Day (A Holly Lathar Story)
ELECTION DAY
A Holly Lathar Story
"Here you go," the bartender sets down a drink of malt color on the counter. "I'll close it later, Edson. Thanks." Holly sips on her glass. She could feel their eyes on her, like a Venari hunting its prey.
This was a mistake.
"Holly..." A soft voice reached her ears. "Professor," she turned her head and kept her posture. "Would you..." Holly hesitated, not sure if the question was appropriate. "...like a drink?"
Does he know?
The stool creaked as her mentor sat, exhaling all the years he had carried. "I prefer teas and herbs. Though, one wouldn't hurt, right? A cause for celebration!"
Ah, he does.
Holly looks around, waiting for this so-called celebration. "Looks like another weekday to me," she could hear their comments, breaking her from the inside.
I'm no one. I'm worthless. I'm useless. I'm—
"Holly," taken out of her trance, Professor Oswald leans in. "Do you want to quit? Do you want to step down?" Their surroundings suddenly became quiet. It was only them and Edson.
I should quit.
"I don't know... I don't want to fail, that's all." She sipped the last of her drink and slid the glass across the counter. The bartender understood. "Edson? Do you mind changing the channel to Caerras Express?" Professor Oswald exclaimed. "You got it," Edson responded promptly.
"Respect yourself over others. Remember when I told you that? Don't let a bunch of buffoons dim your light. You have a torch. Use it. Flail it. Do whatever you can to move forward." Wisdom was seeping through his skin, she could tell.
"And remember. It wasn't my decision. It was everyone else's." The professor shifts his gaze towards the holographic screen. BREAKING NEWS. Bartender Edson raised the volume on the TV, smiling.
"We received confirmation from the Providence that the votes are in. It was unanimous, 100 to 1. Holly Lathar is our new Vestal faction leader. Congratulations, Holly!" Crowds of Vestal Seekers and faction members appear on screen, cheering for Holly.
No, I won't quit!
I really like Holly! 😍 See, Vestal? She is truly worthy to be your leader. 🫡 It was kinda sad to learn about what she went through before, but I’m so proud of how she braved her way through it all. 👏 Shoutout to Gramps, for comforting Holly! 😉

I really find Mr. Valencis impressive! 🌟 I wish I could have a brain like his, you know. 😄 In case you haven’t read about the new traditions he implemented in the Azule faction, check out my previous report now! 📖
I'm kinda scared of Phyrak, 😨 but a little bird told me they're going extinct. 🦖 Wanna know more about them? Check out the Venari Highlight below!
In case you missed it, our 4th Dev Blog is out! 📤 If you want to know about the items you'll be gathering in our world soon, make sure to give it a read! 👀
A Jin’Hu spotted by yours truly during the Yue’Guxiang! 🐅 Am I a descendant of the Legendary Collector? Nope! Haha! 😂 Just a lucky, cute Venari. 🍀 Anyway, that was a memorable experience witnessing the Jin’Hu. 🤩 I hope you come across them in the future too. They're not scary, I promise! 😊✋
VENARI HIGHLIGHT
Phyrak
We've previously showcased the Nature Phyrak in celebration of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Wood Dragon. Now, let's delve into another elemental marvel of Caerras' dragons—the Magma Phyrak.
The Phyrak surveys its territories from above, catching prey with its talons and wreaking havoc with flame. Believed to be descendants of the Lue'rie, many feared Phyrak and their violent tendencies. Present day, Phyrak rarely visits large cities or bustling communities. They stray away from crowds and prefer isolation.
I've already witnessed the Nature Jin’Hu and many other Venari, but one thing I still want to see is Phyrak breathing fire. 🌬🔥 Of course, I'd prefer it to be in a safe and fireproof location. 😆 But hey, I wasn't expecting Phyrak to be introverts. 🤭🤔
Sending lots of love your way! 🥰
How did you find my report? Want something more? Hmm, 🤔 I’m wondering what you want to hear from me next. Would you kindly drop it in the comment box below, pretty puh-lease? 🙏
Anyhow, I think it's time for a little twist in our journey. 🌍 Starting now, I'll be embarking on a monthly adventure to bring you even more thrilling tales and exciting updates. 🚀 So, gear up and stay tuned for my monthly return as we continue this extraordinary adventure together! 🌟
'Til the next update! 😉
