@Claaws, it's totally fine to use Leptomiris! If you publish the book will you tell us? I want to get it!

Thanks Nebula! I will!

As long as it's okay with the Admins and other Kyngdom users that have created powers, I think it's fine that you use the Powers. You have my permission to use Lunee. 

Written from the view of a very old storyteller, from the days before death

We thought it was normal.

To always live until you aged so hard that you were insane and couldn't talk. That was the fate. That was the eventual outcome, no matter how hard we worked to stop it.

There was no circle of living and dying, it was just a perfect circle drawn in with a Gryphon's quill, dipped in the blood of the Angel Wolf and used as a quill and ink.

A circle of life with no death.

We all, nowadays, live crazy lives. We live the best as we can before we die.

But back then, we had no word invented for life, or a word invented for death. But in your life it's live, die, maybe live another life if you use the right crystal before you die. Live for a long while, then die. Live for a short time then die. 

Illnesses were awful. An eternity of torture, and if you were lucky the illness might leave you.

Those were the days before death. We never realized what had happened, but people dropped like flies. The true circle of life had began.

Oh, a few creatures that were born before death still stayed alive. But never humans. They were either animals or humans blessed with magic.

Enjoy your life and death. 

Adding on! Arra and Grondor, do you want to start your thing with Grondor and the badger? I feal like everyone was on here at once, and then gave up and went along with other stuff. I could help you work on it, if you like. Just be warrned, I will not post AT ALL this weekend (starting on Friday), and maybe not even durning the week following. Finals...

~Some random SailHaven guy

Two yellow eyes glared from the darkness of the shrubbery around the large city. We were attacking, and I could feal the presance of a hovering drone beside me. He would protect me. I am safe. We will win. Take over this feeable city. I drew my gaze away from the puipless yellow eyes. They could be anything, flowers, bugs, furns, even my imagination. I just somehow concluded that they were eyes. I looked back, and they were gone. Just a figment....Just a figment of my imagination. I concluded. I looked back at the rest of the patrol. They were strong enough to take down this whole city, with only the 5 or 6 of us. I could see the gaurds at the gate. They were waiting, daggers and armor ready, the darkness had hiden us no longer, the light had revealed us. The sound had revealed our footsteps. I looked challengingly on at the general. Being the captain of this team myself, I steadly slincked fowards toward him. 

But then sound gave away another's precence. The padding of footsteps, what sounded to be the earth being spit from the soil. Oh, Lunee, help us please! I know we have not given our sacrafices, but please let this invasion be with sucsess. Then I felt it. A tremmor in the earth. Like something was underneath us. Then I heard the muffled panick sound of one of my men. I looked back.

And realized I was alone.

Had my men left? Or had....had something else gotten to them?

I looked up at the drone. Shaped like Gryphon, to give us luck with the winds. I turned back to the gates, and started fowards at a run. I can do this. I will make the Powers proud of us, of SailHaven. 

There was a strangled cry from my drion, and I skidded to a hault. It's michanical heart and peices of it's head layed across the cool dark earth. Its wings were mangled a little ways into the darkness, and as I watched, something spit the rest of the machanical body from the furns.

Now I was scared. I had nothing to protect myself. Its all or nothing. I told myself, drawing my sword and racing for the gates.

But as I did, a large creature jumped infront of me. With slobbering jaws full of pointed dagger-like teeth, and long visious claws stained crimson. It had a large, muscular build, with a strange dimond pattern like a snake's down its back. It had peices of metal and gears strung in its pelt and around its paws, and its eyes were a menancencing puipless yellow.

Then it lunged. All I had time to do was take a step back, before the menancing, surprisingly cold jaws closed around my neck. Black spots apeared across my vision, and I only felt a very fast, sharp pin of pain before everything went black. And I knew my body was no more.

~Eico

I stood over my kill, sides heaving. My claws were red with blood, and my jaws were still dripping with the blood of my victums. What a horrid taste. Blood. Salty with a weird, gamey tang to it. What I do for my younger sister....

Then I remebered the guys I was showing off for. I felt their gaze on my furry pelt, going down my black dimond pattern. I turned my gaze to them, teeth bared, and stalked up to them.

As a badger, my pace was slow. But with the earth helping, I was in front of the gate in heartbeats. The humans with spears started, shocked, and I smiled a bloody smile. "Oh, don't worry. I'm on your side." One of them gabbed a spear at me. I grabbed it in my jaws and snapped it. "I wish to see Catastrophe. I wish to join his army against the Powers. I have proven myself, and I wish to be in his precence."

"How do we know you don't want to murder him?" One of the gaurds threatened.

I smiled cooly, no offence taken. "Then I would've marched right up to his castle and challenged him there. I am no coward. I am no human."

They extganged glances. "Fine. We'll take you to him." 

Wow this has really died. Here, I'll try to continue. 

~Ayearth

I slithered over the rough ground. Having no claws is something I have to get used to. There, I spotted a few humans and a gate. Time to prove myself...

I slithered over the earth, but something caught my eye before I could travel far. It was another human, with strange metal skin and weapons. He was walking towards the gate, but more like a tiptoe then confidant gaunt. I started to change course and slither over to him, thinking how this would be a lot faster as Sea Serpent then Ayearth. But he spotted me, and a wild fear crossed his eyes. His weapon emidiatly swing down and hit the ground inches from my neck. I hissed in annoyance as he drew it back and swing it again. It bounced off my scales and I roared, well more pike hissed, and drew back to strike like any normal snake. The man glanced around wildley, then reached down with his mechanical hands to grab me. By instinct I struck, as fast as lightning, and bit into his hand. He screamed as two black lines shot up his arm and to his heart.

He was dead in moments.

I heard a rustling in the bushes. I turned, shock widening my eyes. What if they won't accept me for killing this human? It was an accident! 

But I was created by a shocked joyous sound as they spotted the dead body. They, the guards at the gate, had probably heard the noise and rushed over to see who had intruted. "Did you do this?!" He asked excitedly. "You killed one of the top generals of SailHaven!" They knelt down before me, and I couldn't help but raid my head higher. 

This wasn't the plan, but it will work. "Take me to Catastrophe."

"Of course. We will tell him of your glory. Follow me." 

Finally....

~Lunee

I can't belive I was actually doing this. Sideing with the humans, submitting to Dragon?! It was a tragity. Yet, I was still doing it. 

And I was a wolf. Just a plain wolf. I kept on trying to spread my wings and take flight, forgetting what I was. Walking was so slow. And so slow that it takes forever and gets tirding. Well, it's better then Sea Serpents, I guess. He doesn't even have talons to walk with.

Before long I came upon a city gate. There were people there, and I trotted up to them. "I wish to join your forces." I announced as I came into view. They just laughed at this. 

"A wolf, huh? You can't just ask humans to join their war, you have to prove it, puppy." 

I snarled, running up to the gate, facing them nose to snout. "You want proof, huh?" 

There was a rustling in the forest near by, and I flicked my ears back. "Then I'll prove it."

I snuck into the dark, stalking my pray. It was a human. Did I really have to kill it? What I do for Dragon...She should be in exile right now! I pounced, imagining that it was dragon bellow me. But to my shock, the face turned and it was unicorn as a mare! I almost didn't recognize her with no horn, and I managed not to wound her as we stumbled through the undergrowth. "What are you doing here?" I asked in shock.

"Same as you. I thought you went the other way?!" I shook my head. "Did you catch that human?"

I looked back, and saw the shape inching through the darkness to the amused guards. "Why, a friend of yours?" I joked.

"No. I have to kill him to prove myself." I looked sadly down at her.

"Me too. If only Dragon didn't make all this greed, we wouldn't be here right now."

"But we are. So we better make the best of it."

We charged together out of the undergrowth and attacked the man. He was dead in moments. "How's that for proving myself?!" I demanded, throwing the body at the gate. 

Unicorn snorted. "Us. We killed him." She responded.

"Wow-you-you killed..."

"A general of SailHaven. Nothing better then killing a Power itself!" The other guard continued where the last one left off. We exchanged glances.

"Were taking you to Catastrophe. Right away." 

~Claaws

I walked into the cold castle. My claws scraped and echoed on the cool floor, and the guard looked anxiously at me. "This is where I leave you." He announced. "Follow this hall and it should bring you to the throne room." 

I nodded as he closed the door with a bang. I followed the hall to Catastrophe, who was sitting on his throne without a care in the world, figiting with the hilt of a dagger. "Ehum..." I began. 

He tore his gaze from his dagger to me, sitting up in his chair. He was waiting, for what? Oh, oh no. I don't bow to humans. But I have no other choice if this plan is to work. I bent down in a bow. 

As I did the door closed behind me and a fluttering of wings created my ears. I turned to see a crow, a white crow...Caelani.

We exchanged glances and I saw Catastrophe's eyebrow raise. I snarled at Caelani to prove to the king I didn't know him and wanted no busyness with him. 

Caelani landed and bowed. "I am Caelani. I killed a group of SailHaven warriors. The soldiers sent me here to meet and talk with you."

"Same," I growled, getting up to pace around the crow, hissing lightly bellow my breath.

Just then the door clattered shut and four more animals walked inside. They were chattering warmly with one another. I growled under my breath. Stupid! 

I growled again at Caelani then went to pace around the others. "You don't know each other." I reminded them in a low whisper. 

I hissed at Eico. It felt good. I roared at him, raising the hairs on my pelt. He growled back, as Sylvia in the lead and Lunee following went to bow in front of Catastrophe, telling them their names and why there were here. Lunee growled at Sylvia a few times and she cast the wolf a few meaningless hateful glares to top it off. 

"Clearly you are all here because of the same nature." The boy king announced. "Your founding to help me. But first you need training. After that, your going to come with me to hunt down the Powers." 

We all exchanged glances.

My plan was going perfectly. 

Here, no one has posted in awhile. I thought we could fast fowards a tad, and start with the deaths of the powers. Does that sound good? 

~Claaws

After a year and a half of training, we move up the ranks to becom Catastrophe's lead generals and head comanders. Of course, I was the top of all of them, second in command. Celesti never knew about this, atleast I didn't think. One time I incountered her in the hallway as human form and challenged her. Catastrophe interrupted before she could figure out who I was. But that didn't mean she wasn't suspitious. 

Catastrophe asked us to track the Powers multiple times. We lead him other places every time, and he gets confused and storms off in anger. We've sucsessfully droven off whoever the other human intruders were, and hopefully killed their race. 

We come home at times, as ourselves, and slowly reak havic on the human race. Catastrophe cannot stop us, for we faked being allergic to a different poison, so he has discarded the other stuff, the flower pollen, compleatly. In the middle of a desert, gaurded by a civilazation of lesser humans, if I remeber correctly. 

We still haven't gotten Celseti away from Catastrophe yet. Too late, we realized they had married. And had triplets. We were ferious when we found out. Celseti and a human?! Well, I was more angrey then anyone else, and swore revenge. On Catsrophe, not Celseti. I learned the hard way that trying to kill Celesti would not work, in more ways then one.  

I met the children a few times. One I belived was named Death. The boy, I couldn't remember his name. The other girl had a strangley beautiful name, and looked exactly like her mother. I wondered if sh could shift into a human also. 

But the strange thing about the first one, Death, a girl, was her wings. They were a mix of Fairy wings and bird's wings. I could tell Catsrophe disliked them, but he never did anything about them. The girl wore them freely, proudly, proud for being different. But I fear one day Catastrophe will kill her, if I dont get to it first. 

Now Catastrophe has excused us for the week. We gather in our cave, before we realized Gryphon is not with us. Catastrophe might want to talk to him, or maybe Gryphon desided to finally kill the boy king. Maybe he finally got enough of his ordering around. Gryphon wasn't the one to be bossed around, and we all brushed off the fact that he had gone alone. I mean, what's the worse that could happen?
