I completly understand the not wanting to get into trouble for going on the CB, especially since your mom 'banned' you. I hope that you'll be able stay on here, because you are amazing and fun, and such a great person. But if you do have to leave, like I said, I understand! Hopefully you'll be able to come back on in the future. Love you!

THE COMPLETE POWER ORIGIN STORY: BY MOONSHADOW

Here's the incredible Power Origin that won the poll. It was written by Moonshadow. Now you don't have to go digging through this thread to find out how the Powers and Kyngdom came to be!

It's posted in the same order Moonshadow posted the story in. 

Part One

There was once a dark planet. There were no stars, no life, no light, no beauty. But, one day, somehow, and we still don't understand how, a small bud bloomed. It was a tiny bud, but when it unfolded it let a glorious light shine through. Each golden petal shone with the power of a thousand suns. And then, a tiny creature, small, and fragile, came out of the flower. A baby Gryphon with tiny wings. And the sky became blue, and a sun came out, and clouds billowed in the air. As the Gryphon stumbled out of the flower, a little garden snake with tiny arms and claws came wriggling from the flower. And all around grass washed over the earth, and the soil became good for planting, and trees came up everywhere. The little Clawed Serpent pulled himself out of the petals, and one fell off. As did a petal when the Gryphon climbed away. Next, a dragon, with fins, but still a small one emerged. And a stream flowed from the flower, and creeks and rivers and oceans popped up over the land. And as the little Sea Dragon clambered away, the first rain sprinkled the earth, knocking off a petal. But then, a filly, but with a tiny horn came from the ever-shining flower. And with her flowers sprang up, and the magic of the land was born. And next, came a tiny wolf pup, with tiny wings, like the Gryphon's. As the petal of the Unicorn fell, and the Angel Wolf emerged from the bloom, beautiful music resounded, and stars and a moon entered the night sky. But as she leapt from the flower, a tiny Dragon, with wings black as ebony, came up. And with her, all the bad and the greed of the land came in. And the last petal fell, the petals lost their glow and dissolved into the earth, and the stem shriveled up and dryed out. As the animals grew, they ruled the land which was now called Kyngdom. The Gryphon ruled the skies, as the Clawed Serpent ruled the land, and the Sea Dragon ruled the waters. The Unicorn ruled beutiful things, and magic, and Angel Wolf ruled the night, the stars and moon to be precise, and beautiful sounds. And the Dark Dragon ruled bad things. She kept things like greed, anger, and evil under control.  And soon the world was full of animals. And they each had talents, or powers. Birds had The Power of Wing, many mammals had The Power of Claw, many fish and water dwellers had The Power of Fin, all walking animals (with hooves or not) had The Power of Hoof controlling walking and movement,mThe Power of Howl gave all animals their voice, and The Power of Tooth gave animals the ability to eat and bite and kill. But Claaws, who ruled The Power of Tooth, also ruled greed, and anger, and evil. And so when bad things happened, the other Powers as they came to be called, blamed it on Claaws. And so they changed the power of tooth to The Power of Darkness, and one day, at their meeting place at the grave of the magical flower, the Powers decided to send Claaws into exile. And then something happened. A new race, full of greed and anger and evil, entered the once beautiful land of Kyndom and destroyed it. This race became known as Humanity. The humans were evil, they wanted power, but some were good. Some obeyed the laws of the Powers with humility and joy, but they too suffered. And the most evil human of all decided to rule Kyngdom. So first he had to take out the Powers, one by one.

Part Two

Caelani (pronounced, say-lu-nie) flew through the sky, his great wings beating the air. All the birds swirled around the Gryphon, he was their ruler. Caelani's wings were white, outlined in silver. His eyes shone with all the emotion of the world, and his feathers shone golden, almost in the sunlight. Caelani soared through the air, then swooped down. He was the picture of power. But then he let out an air-piercing shriek, and all of the birds stopped flying and looked around. And then they saw their great leader falling. Caelani landed on the ground without a thud, or a single sound. He seemed to almost float toward the earth when he fell. He lay near a few boulders in a large field. His bright red blood streaming down from his neck, where a spear was embedded. A tear streamed down from his eye, as he cried out one last time before closing his eyes forever.

Part Three

But the 'kings' wish did not come true. And although he killed all the Powers, his 'guardians' failed. For the good animals of the forests, meadows, rivers, and skies came and took the powers, and guarded them themselves. I will be posting each power story soon. I have done the power of wing and the power of howl already.

------

And that's the story, as created by Moonshadow.

The origin story has been polished since then, and more details added, so here's a basic summary of Kyngdom & the Power's origins. Written by me a few months ago, and I think I spelled Caelani's name wrong about a million times. I'm very sorry.

-Before Kyngdom was even thought of; before the land and the sea or anything, a giant flower bloomed in the darkness. It had six petals.

-When the flower was grown, six baby creatures emerged from the flower, one for each petal. One was a gryphon; one was a clawed serpent; one was a sea dragon; one was a wolf; one was a unicorn, and one was a dragon. These were the Powers.

-From behind the Powers emerged a blue fairy, the PowerFriend, who acted as a sort of mother to them as they grew.

-The Powers created Kyngdom as we know it--Cealani, (the gryphon; Power of Wing), created the skies and gave winged creatures their joy for the skies. The clawed serpent (Power of Claw; his name was Ecio) created the ground, and was ruler of all animals under the earth. The sea dragon made the seas (Power of Fin; Ayearth). The wolf, named Lunee, was the Power of Howl. She made the moon and the night and gave creatures their voices. The unicorn, Sylvia, who was the Power of hoof, created life, including animals and plants. The dragon, Power of Fang, gave creatures the ability to bite and kill for their food. Her name was Claaws, and she controlled some of the impulses that led to biting and killing--namely the darker ones, greed and such.

-The Powers walked the land for many years. But soon trouble began to arise. Claaws began to grow unruly and jealous. Darkness grew within her heart, and she began to feed it. She spoke to it, and it spoke to her...

-Claaws's darkness soon grew so great that she was exiled by the other Powers. In order for this to be balanced, Claaws became the Power of Darkness, while Lunee became the Power of Light. Claaws was forced out of the Powers' abode.

-Alone, Claaws's darkness grew. She could not control it, and soon, it took on an actual form. This form was one of the first Sideaffected Powers. It was a dragon, just like Claaws.

-The Sideaffected Power was named Jaaws, and she held powers of great darkness. She was evil personified, and also a sort of punishment for Claaws, who had caved in to the darkness within her. Jaaws would do everything she could to destroy Kyngdom. Jaaws went around Kyngdom putting true evil into the hearts of humans.

-The Powers decided that humans were too evil to keep on Kyngdom. They began to hate them. Soon, some Powers were killing humans, including Claaws.

-One poor innocent boy's family and town was destroyed by Claaws. His name was Samson...but he soon changed it to Catastrophe.

-Catastrophe, orphaned and alone, went into the forest and befriended a wolf named Froststone. She pretty much adopted him, and nurtured him in his aloneness. Catastrophe also befriended other animals.

-Soon Claaws mastered her darkness and was able to rejoin the Powers. She was once again the Power of Fang; Lunee then returned to being the Power of Howl.

-At this point, however, other Sideaffected Powers had been born. Here is a list of all Sideaffected Powers, just in case you're curious:
CEALANI'S SIDEAFFECTED POWERS: Aya; female; phoenix AND Leptomoris; male; manticore
ECIO'S SIDEAFFECTED POWER: Grondor; male; megatherium (a megatherium is a giant ground sloth)
AYEARTH'S SIDEAFFECTED POWER: Chinese dragon; female; (I forgot her name); was once Ayearth's love but was killed; created hurricanes and bad weather, including snow
LUNEE'S SAP: I don't believe she has any. Great job, Lunee.
SYLVIA'S SAP: Whist; female; deformed owl with scar over eye; has powers over the mist and can create mist animals; can hypnotize minds with her mist
CLAAWS'S SAP: Jaaws; female; black dragon with red eyes; power over evil and can turn people evil, breath purple flames, posess and hypnotize, fade into shadows, speak to the evil part of people
(Sideaffected Powers are created from Powers' flaws and typically strive for destruction. They are not good.)

-This is where Catastrophe comes back in. One day, Cealani killed Froststone and Catastrophe's other animal friends. Catastrophe, broken and alone once more, fled.

-He came across Whist, who attempted to hypnotize him but only partially succeeded. Catastrophe then stumbled into Jaaws's cave. She sensed his darkness--the anger at the Powers for ruining his life, his ambitions to become something powerful, his thirst for revenge--and Jaaws spoke to those desires. She used her powers to turn him evil, into someone to destroy Kyngdom.

-Jaaws helped Catstrophe rise to power. According to legend, if you killed the monster of the mist you would become king. This monster was none other than Whist, and with Jaaws's help, Catastrophe killed Whist and subsequently became the 13-year-old ruler of ancient Kyngdom.

-While Catastrophe was trying to kill Whist, Whist tried to gain control of Catastrophe's mind to stop him from ending her life. Thus, as Catastrophe fought Whist, Jaaws and Whist also battled, for control of his mind. Jaaws won, but a little bit of Whist's essence was left within Catastrophe's head. (This tidbit of info comes into importance later.)

-Catastrophe, as king of Kyngdom, went around using Brazen Goo to kill all the Powers. [Of course, it wasn't called that back then.] Brazen Goo is the only thing lethal to Powers, and it is derived from a flower. (Sylvia created this flower as a failsafe in case any Power went bad and became too dangerous to stay alive.)

-Around this time Catastrophe fell in love with the PowerFriend, whose name was Celesti.

-Now...it gets a little confusing here, so let me just say:
~Catastrophe had a son named Ronan.
~Celesti also had another child, but not with Catastrophe. This child carried the blood of the PowerFriend. Icy, a character belonging to Icy, also carries the blood of the PowerFriend.

-All of that aside, the Powers fell one by one. The last Power to remain alive was Claaws, along with Celesti, Catastrophe's love. If you can believe it, Catastrophe then killed Celesti.

-Note: Powers do not truly die. When they 'die', they simply turn into an instrument, which holds their essence. As each Power fell by Catastrophe's hand, he assigned an animal to guard it. These animals were instructed NEVER TO PLAY THE INSTRUMENTS, or the Powers would get out. These became the Guardians. More about them later on.

-Finally Catastrophe killed Claaws, but in that battle between the two of them, Claaws struck Catastrophe down, and he died as well. (Though not forever. Later on he somehow comes back to life.)

-Since the Powers were all dormant, some if not all of the remaining Sideaffected Powers fell into a deep sleep for the next hundred+ years.

That's about it for Kyngdom's origins. This all took place hundreds if not thousands of years ago in Kyngdom's past. The Powers' instruments were passed down from guardian to guardian during that time, so the Powers remained dormant for a very long time.

There we go, I'm sorry it's so long--I didn't write this. 

Hey guys, heads up, I posted an idea about making a new guide to Kyngdom on the Kyngdom Revival thread on inkwell. Check it out there if you're interested or would like to help!

@pangolin, I know you've been busy with school and everything, but do you still want to continue Arietis and Tarava's conversation on the Nobyl RP? I don't mind if you still need a while to respond, or if you don't want to continue at all - I was just wondering :)

I posted an idea for a Catastrophe's Army RP on the Kyngdom Revival thread. If your interested, check it out there.

Just wondering, is anyone interested in joining the Nobyl RP or Estrelle's party? 

SOCKS RP is up now if you're interested!

If you're interested in helping with the Ultimate Guide to Kyngdom, check out the Kyngdom Guide Proofreading thread on Inkwell. I'll be posting stuff there to be reviewed soon!

I was thinking of starting another low-stakes RP for the purpose of exploring Kyngdom and branching out a bit, about Catastrophe's soldiers. I imagine at the moment they're not doing much, just being employed by Nobyls to protect their estates and trying to put down the Resistance, so there might be a lot of space for innovation there. What do y'all think?
