The Missing Pet Mystery: Part 1

If you're reading this, you've been selected to be a part of an ongoing investigation regarding a theft in my primary home. Recently, a rare pet was stolen from outside of my Pyramid of the Lost Horizon - and it's your job to explain the mystery and get it back! That's not the best part, though. Completing pieces or all of the mystery could win you some impressive prizes - in Wizard101 US, Wizard101 UK, and Pirate101!

Lets get started!

[This mystery is a contest celebrating the Spiral-wide holiday season and Wizard101 UK's anniversary on December 15th... complete parts or all of it for exclusive sneak peek of upcoming posts on Swordroll's Blog, and some exciting prizes!]

This all started a few days back, when I hosted a Spiral-wide party in my Pyramid of the Lost Horizon. It really was a fantastic ordeal - the magic radiating from wizards' staves and wands reflected off of the silver of pirates' swords. However, suddenly, as though with the flip of a switch, everything went dark...

When the dust, smoke, ashes ...something... cleared, everyone and everything seems in-tact. The only thing missing was my precious Dark Crow pet - now, what was his name? You see, I just have so many - but I can tell when one is missing!

I have my suspicions about who would be desiring such a pet... but I can't be sure without some hard evidence. While I investigate the crime scene, I'll give you a quick overview of the area! (Click to enlarge)

To get started, I think you should talk to a friend of mine - Daring Dave Hawkins. This Cat Pirate is one that you don't want to mess around with. He's a little nervous to make public appearances, but you can email him at daringdavehawkins (at) gmail (dot) com. Put your influential skills to the test in this first leg of the mystery!
