These sculptures were carved and chiseled by the anger in my soul, pu!
Give it up... I can draw and win this even with my hands tied behind my back. Queeek!
“This beach isn’t big enough for the two of us...”
The never-ending dispute of Papua Crinea between the Otters and Papu have been brought to Terrmian Beach as the Otter painter, Kakuo, and Papu sculptor, Parapura, confront each other at the Thousand Years Masterpiece Auction!
Bid on the drawings of Kakuo, the outstanding Otter painter who created masterpieces out of nothing, leaving a beautiful mark on the Otters’ history. Or bid on the sculptures of Parapura, carved during the Papu’s brilliant golden age.

Lot 1 Kakuo Supper of the 13th Moon
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Supper of the 13th Moon] was born one night when the full moon hung over Oquilla coast.
This piece best represents the Otter belief that there’s no better hoy in life than to fill one’s tummy. The piece does an excellent job of capturing the dichotomy between fish that poke their head above water, tantalized by moonbeams, and fish struggling within the vast abyss of Kakuo’s stomach.
Otters who are suffering from a lack of appetite are said to feel hungry again after taking one look of this picture.

Lot 2 Kakuo Thinking Portrait
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Thinking Portrait] was drawn after the otter bachelor Kakuo thought about what his unborn pup would look like. Using iridescent Coral paints, he drew himself vigilantly standing watch over his future son with a rainbow of assorted colors. When he first revealed this work, he confessed that he had put in all his sweat and blood, tears and joys, past and future, and all else that came to mind when imagining his unborn son.
While many in the audience teared up at his confession, They say that no female Otter has yet offered to help him with his predicament. |

 |
Lot 3 Kakuo Touched by the Root Nymph
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Touched by the Root Nymph] was drawn one summer by Kakuo when he observed a gathering of Otter Military Academy cadets. Due to sudden rainfall, many of the cadets began picking up clam shells from the ground to try and keep their furry heads from getting wet.
All of a sudden, a golden ray of sunlight parted the cloudy skies, and began to reflect off the impromptu “shield” of clam shells formed by the cadets.
All who were there on that day claimed that it was definitely the Rooy Nymph bestowing its blessing upon the great warriors. Coincidentally enough, that very eve, those same witnesses claim they were all served a foaming pint of golden beer. |

 |
Lot 4 Kakuo Papu
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Papu] is the only work of Kakuo drawn by his left paw. One fateful day, Kakuo mistook his right paw for a King Clam, and took a huge bite. His recovery was rather quick, but many of his fans jokingly referred to the incident as an assassination attempt by the Papus. Gorging himself with Swellfish skewers caused the hallucinogenic effect that prompted him to bite his own paw, and during his treatment, he claimed he couldn’t help but feel maddened by hunger and rage and salivated each time he glanced at his wounded paw. He would later win many more Otter admirers after declaring his nightmarish ordeal askin to those “stinkin’ Papus!” |
|
 |
Lot 5 Kakuo Blue-eyed Invaders
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Blue-eyed Invaders] was drawn around the time when Kakuo visited the workshops of Florin and witnessed Loria’s hand mirror for the very first time. He was so surprised by the mirror that he fainted twice in a row- For some time, he was so filled with dread at the thought of being under the blue-eyed invader’s control that he stopped all of his works and would spend all day starting into the mirror. Then, one day, it appeared that he had finally made peace with the invader in the mirror itself, Announced that they had decided to respect the other’s existence, and he finally resumed his work. |
|
 |
Lot 6 Kakuo Sea of Sun and Moon
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Seas of Sun and Moon] was drawn when Kakuo was a wee pup as he gazed at the sea from the rooftop of his granny’s home in Nada Island. It serves to prove how gifted he was with his imagination and artistic creativity from a young age.
He claimed the existence of the sunsea and moonsea at the world’s end where no living being could survive, and between those bodies of water lay our very own sea. Therefore, since there existed no body of water untamable by Otters, he proposed that all Otters must press onward to the ends of the world.
However, Kakuo also claimed that the warm and cold currents flowing from those two bodies of water found balance when they met in the seas of our world and made our seas able to sustain Otter life.
Therefore, his declaration that maybe the moon and sun seas may exist as the only exception to the fact that Otters can tame all bodies of water brought much attention to this piece as well. |
|
 |
Lot 7 Kakuo Paradise
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Framed Without glass Good condition |
|
[Paradise] was drawn while Kakuo was heading up the Behr River to publish the “Salmon Dishes” book. The painting depicts salmon swimming in the gentle currents speckled with stones here and there, perfect for sunbathing after filling one’s tummy with the delectable fish from the river.
Kakuo unveiled this piece by declaring that paradise is not some distant vista. However, due to too many Otters flocking to the Behr River and consuming the entire population of fish in the region, critics arose, decrying Kakuo as a fraud, and thus began a dark chapter in the career of Kakuo. |
|
 |
Lot 8 Parapura Papu Thinker
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Good condition |
|
[Papu Thinker] is a famous piece by parapura who captured the near life-like portrayal of a lone fruit soldier pondering about her own fate before throwing herself into the fray of the Thousand Year War.
Rowdy fruit soldiers are brought before this piece by instructors to focus on this sculpture, whose muscles are tense due to thought of teaching Otters a lesson they’ll never forget. The actual fruit soldier who was captured in the piece, however, denies such an interpretation, claiming that she was only filled with thoughts of her next meal once the war was over. |
|
 |
Lot 9 Parapura Ostreaebolus
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Good condition |
|
[Ostreaebolus] is another piece by Parapura who captured a participant during the Shellfish Throwing sport of the Papuaora Island Games.
Graceful harmony and balance are perfectly expressed in this animated piece, and has received many accolades by countless critics. However, the very athlete captured in the piece apparently ranked last place in the sport that day, and took out her frustrations upon Otter prisoners held at the Fruit Soldier Academy. |
|
 |
Lot 10 Parapura Papu of Liberty
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Good condition |
|
[Papu of Liberty] is a piece that was first set into motion while Parapura was captured and held at the Crioniak Abyssal Pearl Prison during the Thousand Year War. In both paws she holds the Shell-a-Phone, a special conch shell used by members of Abyssal Pearl Fishism to communicate over long distances. |
|
 |
Lot 11 Parapura The Birth of Paphrodite
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Good condition |
|
[The Birth of Paphrodite] is a sculpture of Paphrodite, who won first place in the Papuaora Island Beauty Pageant, and was wholly funded by the Fruit Soldier Academy.
However, this sculpture was actually made after the pageany and when Paphrodite was forced to enlist into the Fruit Soldier Academy as a secret weapon to seduce the Otters, only to be dishonorably discharged later. The reason being that not one Otter fell to Paphrodite’s charm, none. |
|
 |
Lot 12 Parapura The Creation of Papu
Start Price 500,000,000 Silver
[Condition] Good condition |
|
[The Creation of Papu] is a masterpiece of Parapura praised for best depicting the ideology that Papus are basically gods. This piece gained popularity after it was declared that the sculpture’s slender, extended claw was pointing to the Pa-quoise Sea Urchin of the Papu Creation mythos, where it apparently cried out “Pa!” and “Pu!” as it later evolved into the Papus we know today. All because of the verse that mentioned Papus being made in the very image of the gods.
