Alright friends, time
Alright friends, time to get this story rolling! Sorry it took me so long, theres a lot going on in life! Now, to begin, I will write in the view of Caelani today.
~Caelani
It was snowing. Caelani hated snow. Snow was the worst. It was cold, and wet, and a doing of Ayearths wretched sideaffected power. Who, stupid Ayearth had ran away with. Underwater. Where Caelani COULDNT go.
He was flying. The wind in his feathers, the breeze in his face. He was ok with the cold....if it just stopped snowing.....
THERE!
His target had been spotted. A white mare, picking at the snow in surch of food, probably. And around her neck......
Caelani smiled.
I'm coming for you sis.
With an angle of his wings, he dove through the air, landing awkwardly on the mare's back. She started in alarm as his claws dug into her skin, and she realed, but Caelani stayed on. "Im a friend, trust me. If I was a foe, you'd be dead." He whispered, his voice having some sort of tranquil affect, which was ironic, and she lowered her front hooves, pawing at the ground, her nerves subsiding.
"Are you the ghoast of the last Power of Wing gaurdain?" She asked, craining her neck to look over the white feathers Caelani had.
He paused, thinking over the answer. "Yes." He finally said, then backed up the long pause with, "since you're a fellow gaurdain, I'm sure its fine to tell you."
"Wow." She gasped, amazed.
Cealani shifted his weight so he was touching the necklace holding the fragile instrament. The idea he had had circled back in his mind. "I've come to warn you. You must know now that BIG isnt our problum, Catastrophe is. And his army will kill you when they find you have the power. So I have come to protect you, to protect you duty, and to take the power into the after life with me." Caelani knew perfectly well that was imposible, but this mortal creature knew nothing of the life after this.
Her eyes widened. And then they darkened almost instanty. "Im not suposed to guve it to anyone." She said, shifting her weight. "Not even a ghoast, who I can feal prickling on my shoulder."
He laughed. "Like you know anything of ghosts."
She glared into the snow for a moment. And then she reeled. In a swift movement, Caelani snapped the necklace, carying one string in his talon, and flew off swiftly into the storm, the wind giving him speed.
He heard the horse neigh frantically after him.
After a short flight he landed in a sheltered clearing. The snow had stopped, for now. Knwoing that no one was around, he shifted back into his normal form, the necklace still gripped in his talon, now small compared to before.
"You found her." It was Eico's gruff voice as he emerged from the ground. They were never that close, he was the one who Caelani lastly wanted to get stuck alone with. But.....familys family. And he had learned how to hide in anger, thanks to Claaws.
"No, this is just some random other drum." Caelani growled. "YES i found her."
The moments that followed were moments that neither one would ever forget. In the mist, the mist that had started gathering as Caelani had landed, a figure stood. The mist was hazy, and the blurry shape almost looked like...like....a dragon.
"Claaws?" Caelani called, his eyes widening.
No responce. Just a steady hiss as the mist started gathering around their heads. Then a whisper, that almost sounded like....."GiVe Us ThE iNsTrAmEnT........."
"Jaaws...." Eico breathed.
But it wasnt just Jaaws. A disfigured owl had apeared in the trees, her eyes narrowed slits. And as Caelani looked closer, he saw the red haze of a certan Pheonix in the sky and the wingbeats of a creature next to her.
Why did he have to have so many stupid sideaffceted powers?!
"Run." Eico whispered.
Almsot imidatly he burrowed into the earth. Caelani took to the sky and gracefully turned back into a crow. The mist parted at the wind blew around him, and he heard a battle cry from a pheonix and a manticore.
Aya and Leptomoris.
Little did Caelani know that while he was flying away in the sky, Ecio was fighting a battle in the ground with a ground sloth who had escaped his prison of rock...or....had help doing it.
He twisted and turned, and while the two were heavy on his tail, they could never reach him.
And then a sparkle of blue reached his eye. And looking down, he saw the ocean. And his keen eyesight caught something else....who he instantly reconized at Ayearth.
He was too relived to be mad, so instead of avoiding him, he dove right towards him. But at the last second, the Power of Fin looked up and saw Caelani.
And what Caelani saw was not his brother. The eyes of this creature were dark, like pitch black ash, and had a soft red glow. "YoU'vE fAlLeN rIgHt InTo OuR tRaPe...."
he caught a glimpse of white and black at the corner of his eye, blue and red eyes staring right at him, before the water surged fowards and everything went black.
A strange black.
A type where he knew he would never escape from.
Red eyes flashed, and laughter filled his skull, before he fell into nothingness.
~~~
Disclaimer, Grondor is affected by Jaaws, she made him come out of his hiding place where he was mourning his friend who he had realized was his friend too late.
So is Ayearth and his sideaffected power, and now, Caelani.
Idk about the others, up to you I guess. But not Whist, because shes evil too and working with Jaaws, for now. Its all about revenge for her.
Also, another disclaimer, Sylvia is already activated. She just hasnt come out of hiding. I think she was activated long before Claaws, because the horses thought she was good, and she was, and vanished into the forest to do her life-making skills. But she made them forget about releasing her, causing them to gaurd a fake drum that everyone thought was her. She hasnt come out yet because shes scared of the others, scared of what theyll think of her for abandoning them. (You like that? Does everyone agree with that?)
also, Ronan, idk how they found out a way to affect the powers, something invloving brazen goo probably, do you wanna come up with that?

Top!
(February 4, 2018 - 11:00 am)
I just read two or three of the last posts on here, and I am loving the direction this is going. I like Claaws's and Hazel's ideas of how to end, but I'm kind of agreeing with Hazel: do they have to die? That would be sad...maybe they could sort of come back in a way? I'm not sure.
Anyway, I also wanted to let everyone know that Moonshadow has the Power of Howl. Basically, sometime in the last bit, his uncle (the former guardian) was killed and the power was taken, and he tracked the power down for months until he found it (it's also a nice explaination for what he's beEn doing when I wasn't active on Kyngdom :P)l I haven't worked out the details yet (who took it, where it was, etc.) but I thought you guys might want to know its location.
(February 4, 2018 - 2:36 pm)
How long have you been gone? Surprisingly little time has passed in-story in the past few weeks--a matter of days, at the most.
(February 5, 2018 - 8:07 am)
Oh, hmm...interesting. I was gone for, I'd say a few months, I don't even remember, but it must have been early fall the last time I posted, and then sometime in December or January I came back for a few days, then disappeared again, and now I'm back and trying very hard not to vanish off the face of Kyngdom.
(February 5, 2018 - 12:32 pm)
Let's see, shadow came back to life with no wings and an agreement to take five specific lives, Harbor of Mer died and was succeeded by her daughter Ocean, the SOCS came under new management and was largely dissolved, Sylvia is having a baby, Icy left the Resistance to find the Powers, Jaaws has been hypnotizing and/or possessing people and Powers but the Elites discovered that elf magic works against her, Mina separated the magic from the Crown and Nova gave it to Ocean, Karune has changed her name to Rose and is going insane in the woods with a wolf named Sybill, and it's only been a week or two in-story. It's still the last days of September. That's... actually a lot.
(February 6, 2018 - 3:11 pm)
Ah Im so sorry seas of homework have been drowning me latley. But Im back! Brake is soon! Yay! Only like, three more tests to go! *Mentally eye rolls*
Anywho, yes I love your ideas!
But, what if Jaaws is controlling Catastrophe the whole time? Or maybe Enyo who is in turn influancing/controlling him? (Or whatever his name is AHHHH IM SO BAD AT THIS!) Also, maybe in the end Ronan and Icy get Catastrophe to join their side again (as Catastrophe was never a bad guy, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and happened to want revenge) by somehow riding him of Jaaws magic? And this is all before the final battle, before Jaaws realizes that shes lost most of her allies, before all of the final stuff goes down (after Claaws is summoned tho).
Whats the deal with the elf magic? Like, who came up with it, what does it do, how can we incoperate it into the story? Like, what are the 'kyndom' version of elves. Are they human? Not human animals? Magical? (So then when the magic from the instraments desperssed, the elfs got Lunne's magic of light, or Sylvia's magic of creation, Sylvia's makes sence more because they could create something to counteract the brazen goo.)
I would like Claaws to be activated last, for the dramatic affect.
Yes, Ill play Whist. And possibly the other three sideaffected powers if you guys DONT STEP UP (IM LOOKIN AT YOU RONAN) Also, how about she wants revenge on Catastrophe, but also on Sylvia (which is why shes still with Jaaws) and actual power over the animals of the world (the exact oppist of Sylvia) (and another reason why shes sticking with Jaaws). Maybe shell be the fisrt sideaffected power to go, maybe Icy kills her to protect Sylvia's foal, or Ronan to protect his father.
YES THEY MUST DIE FOR THE MOST AWSOMEST ENDING IN THE WORLD! (Is just Lunee and Claaws deing too? What about the others?) In the end, I think Claaws hast to do much more then apologize. Maybe she comes to terms with Icy, in turn mending the bond with her mother, and she also comes to terms with Ecio, Sylvia, and Lunee, who respect her and realize that she was trying to protect them all along, and Claaws realizing that she had created Jaaws, the darkness, by keeping that angered fued between those three. But, something goes wrong with Lunee and Claaws, and they fight, causing a shift in the dimentions of sorts and in the end kill eachother to mend the bond. (Or something like that XD
Also, Scylla, since its impossible for Powers to have kids (as astablished with Lunee) maybe Sylvia creates her put of lonleyness to resemble a daughter, so she is her daughter ment to be a 'Power' in a way.....OMK OMK OMK!!!! Ideas! So, what if, since Powers arent suposed to create Powers, the foal becomes a sideaffected power?! Like what happened with Whist and Jaaws?! In turn becoming a powerful sideaffecetd power (good or bad non shall know) who struggles with her personal being and whos side she should choose. (Resulting in deep converstations about mothers between her and Jaaws) SCYLLA HOW DO YOU LIKE IT LOOK AT THIS READ THIS DO YOU APROVE (im so proud of myself for putting those peices together)
How are we gonna incoperate the Resistance and all the other new groups I really havent been paying attention to? (Sorry, Im bad at keeping track of everything!) Like, are all the people on Catastrophes side really truley evil or are they hypmotised by Enyo? Or Jaaws? Whats their backstories? Wheres BIG? And SOCS? And the other humans of the world? What about the other animals? The bystanders? Whats happening with them? What about the true rulers of Kyndom? Who are they and how is Catatrophe getting around them? What about the Crown, sheild, and sword? They hold Jaaws' magic intended for Catastrophe's forever power over kyndom (and in turn her power)
AHHHMAGOSH THAT WAS A LOT OF WORDS! Now i cant RP tho! Shoot, catch me on saturady and I might have time cause its BREAK! YAY!
(February 8, 2018 - 12:04 am)
I was just asking the same thing about elves, so I don't have any answers there. I like those ideas, though.
(February 8, 2018 - 9:15 am)
Great points, Claaws! I would love to see some of these enacted.
However, when was it established that Powers cannot reproduce? I really like the plot thread of Sylvia's foal.
(February 8, 2018 - 6:36 pm)
It was established awhile back, when we were creating the complex backstory of kyndom. Moonshadow wanted Lunee to have a pup, but we established there was no way for them to....you know....because theyre all magical and powerful and really really big. Also, I dont think they have reproductive systems (im allowed to say that, right?) because they were to first creatures ever and they only created others by magic at that point.
Sorry the first part might not post....if so ill try to work around that in trying to explain why Sylvia cannot possibly give birth to a foal (or have that foal in general).
ILL RP TOMMAROW GUYS I PROMISE! WHILE IM GONE TRY AND GET OTHERS TO COME HERE AND POST, LIKE WHOEVERS SUPPOESD TO BE PLAYING THE OTHERS ONES AND OOMG RONAN COME OVEER HERE AND POST! (Sry, i say this with much love ;)
(February 8, 2018 - 11:23 pm)
Yay, you're back, Claaws!!! And awesome ideas!
So, for Jaaws controlling Catastrophe the whole time...maybe she only controls him in bursts, like, steers him in the right direction whenever she sees him. Sort of like booster magic to keep him evil/working for her. I do like the idea of Icy and Ronan curing him of Jaaws's magic--if that happened, Jaaws would probably take Catastrophe's place as the worst enemy of everyone. But I feel like Ronan had his own plans for Catastrophe--something about getting caught in his own trap or something. Maybe he can get healed after that. They would need Lunee's help, and it would probably be very very very painful. (By the way, who's Enyo again? I feel like I recognize the name but can't remember who it is. Is he...Lunee's sideaffected Power?!)
Elves! So, I know they're definitely magical because they use spells. I was thinking maybe they were special humans that Lunee trusted to carry her type of light magic. But if that doesn't seem like something Lunee'd do, the idea that they got her magic when she went into the instrument makes more sense. Also, elves can apparently heal hypnotized people of Jaaws's control. (Norah and Etoile healed Hazel only recently.) I remember back in the Labryinth Lands when Ecio said that Lunee was the only cure for hypnotized people--it would make sense that elves are linked to her in some way. Also, your point about the cure for the Brazen Goo makes sense. Does that mean Sylvia could in fact cure the Powers of Jaaws's influence?
I think the other Powers should stay alive, and only Lunee and Claaws should die. Maybe the remaining Powers could then take their rightful place back in Kyngdom, or willingly return to their instruments. (I don't really know what the circumstances will be at the end, so I'm just throwing out anything that comes to mind.) Maybe Claaws and Lunee are reincarnated as baby Powers, or something new--something similar yet different from a Power? (Just random ideas here) And then the Powers could go off to take care of their siblings. What were you thinking about happening after they died? I do remember you mentioning them coming back in a way.
OOOOOOOHHH. I like that idea about Sylvia's foal! I definitely like the idea of her struggling with her internal self. And the conversations between Jaaws and her. (Or him.) She could turn bad for a while, then good, and keep trying to decide. Until she finally picks a side. And someone is bound to get mad no matter which side she chooses. But what would the foal's powers be? Maybe they could change a little depending on what side she was on.
As for the others...I may have already mentioned this but here's an idea of how the Resistance and the Powers will come back together: Jaaws overtakes some of the Powers (already done) then starts attacking Catastrophe's enemies. Or something. Then the Resistance will have to find someone to cure them (either Sylvia or Lunee) and afterwards the Powers will break away from Jaaws's control. But maybe the Sideaffected Powers would stay so Jaaws still has some allies that she can lose at the end.
(February 9, 2018 - 8:13 am)
Enyo is a she, the Song of War Bird, and one of Caelani's Sideaffected Powers. She's named after a Greek goddess of war and destruction.
I like that idea about Jaaws and Catastrophe--maybe he's not even opposed to her possessing him now and then, merely irked by it on occasion when their goals don't align, and has the power to force her out if needs be.
The other Powers should definitely stay alive. I like the idea of Claaws and Lunee reincarnating, too. Maybe they can come back significantly diminished in power, like without their other forms? But still representing a sort of ying and yang.
The foal, though it might not be naturally born (how would that happen, anyway? Kind of an awkward subject), will almost certainly have an internal conflict. I love the idea of its becoming a Sideaffected Power. Maybe their abilities will have something to do with creation or movement? It would be morally neutral and would fit in with Sylvia's powers, too.
(February 14, 2018 - 8:28 pm)
People with elf charries came up with elf magic. I freely admit to encouraging it. It seems to be rather light-based, maybe like the opposite of Jaaws' darkness. So far it's capable of creating a force field, disrupting Jaaws' hold on a hypnotized person, and probably healing to some extent. I think the elves themselves (no rhyme intended) are like Tolkien elves, pure and good and light and awesome, beautiful and mainly archers. They're less OP, and almost exclusively sylvan (also spelled silvan, from the Latin word for forest, meaning something like 'of the forest'). Ask Rose, Etoile or Norah for more details.
Is Ronan on the CB? If so, what's his username?
I like that idea about the foal. Scylla, do you approve of it?
I've been trying to figure out what happened to the BIG, too. As far as I know, it allied with the Resistance and then partially collapsed, fragmenting into splinter organizations. I don't know how many. The remaining part may have merged with the Resistance.
The SOCS changed management and was largely dissolved or remodeled. They've been lying low.
Some of Catastrophe's supporters are brainwashed, hypnotized or possessed. Others are simply misguided. Others support him willingly, for whatever reason.
Someone made a thread about the citizen bystanders. They're not doing anything plot-relevant, that being their main purpose.
I have no idea who the true rulers of Kyngdom are. They're probably dead. I would say Lycaella is their heir just to have her be more involved, but I think a council as we discussed would be the best.
The Crown's magic has been drained from the object and given to Ocean, princess of Mer. Catastrophe still has the Sword, and Trixie's family will soon move the Shield from its hiding place.
(February 9, 2018 - 8:46 am)
Ronan used to be on the CB, and he went by Ronan. But he took a break a long time ago and hasn't returned. I don't know if he's still around or gone or what...I do hope he comes back soon though.
(February 12, 2018 - 7:14 pm)
Aren't the Nobyls in charge of Kyngdom? They used to be for sure, and I feel like it would have come up if the government had fallen. Maybe they're just kinda lazy and don't do much? You'd think that they're be trying to stop Catastrophe though, seeing as he'd be taking power away from them.
