Mage pauses before she jumps into the gate. "Don't worry, you'll be able to breathe normally." She winks and then jumps in. Confused, you follow after her. You find yourself completely emerged in water, but you are breathing normally, as if you were in air. The water tigress chirps to gain your attention, "Welcome to the Ocean, where you'll find all of Cougar's water friends. Have a look around and enjoy the nice freshing feel of the water." The tigress swims off leaving you to follow the path.

As you walk along the pathway, movement catches the corner of your eye. A colorful seahorse about the size of your hand floats up to you. It rocks slightly as it watches you then deciding that you are of no harm it speaks, Hello, I am Rune. You can get one like me here. He then scooted off into the current.

You hear something larger approach and a big hippocampus swims up to you. Her eyes sparkle with happiness, Welcome to our home!, she whinnies happily, I am Emerald and you can get one like me here. I hope you enjoy your stay. Then something passing over head. Its a mother dolphin and her baby. Emerald speaks again as you watch the graceful dolphins swim past. That's Grace and little Flip. Adorable aren't they? The hippocampus bobbs her head and then takes her leave; sweeping the water with her large tail. (Dolphins can be adopted at the same place).

Another creature swims past you and pauses. Hello. I'm Aquas. Bobs his head in a bow. I am a Ferilon. My kind can be adopted here. We come in all shapes and sizes, and rumor has it, the aquatic Ferilon smiles, we are very nice to be around. Hope you enjoy your stay. He paddles off, leaving you to watch the beautiful creature as he swims away.

You see the tiger swimming back to you. Mage smiles, That's all our underwater friends, climb on and I'll show you those who reside at the bank of the river that empties nearby. You climb onto her back and she swims back toward the surface, her powerful paws churning the water. Breaking above the surface, you see a small collection of animals waiting for you. Mage looks to you as you climb off her back. One of the creatures steps forward. My name is Cyan. I am a Vaishen. You can find one like me here.

Mage then speaks as the vaishen steps back, The rest of them were adopted, like me, in a Neopets egg or animal adoption. Each of the animals step forward as they are introduced to you. (and some day they may get their own pictures).
Hydro: A male, fuzzy brown otter pup. His egg was a yellow and red color. He is very friendly and loves to ride around on Juhali's back. He allows anyone who holds his water crystal access to the power of water.
Tai: A blue dragon that I found while on an island. We were turned loose to roam about the island and gradually, each of us were greeted by a dragon. Tai greeted me by splashing me with a wingfull of pool water.
Aqua: A set of firsts! This lovely creature is a light blue wolf with ice blue eyes. She controls a water element and can dissapear in water, purify it and shoot it out of her mouth at 50 gal/sec. She is very loyal, but is shy to the other critters. However, she's starting to make friends with Hydro and T'pol.
Mystt: Female wolf pup. Her white fur fades into a sparkly sky blue. He shiney light blue wings stretched out as she lay down. Her aqua eyes looking around. She loves to be the center of attention. She is rather easy to please. Element: water!

I suppose I should tell a little about myself as well. Mage says smiling. Lahrea had entered this role play with the plans of adopting my sister, a panther. However, someone else also wanted her. She then saw me, a silver tigress with blue stripes and cerulean dragon wings sitting alone. And well, here I am. I'm told that I'm friendly and very understanding. The tigress then smiled shyly, I'm known as the group psychiatrist..

The tigress then motions you to climb aboard. Ready to go back? With a nod as you climb on, Mage opened her wings and prepared to return you to the den.
