Power Origin Ideas
The origins of the Kyngdom Powers are a mystery to all. Many stories have been passed down through the generations. Each tale may be based in truth, although the full truth is clouded by the mists of time.
What stories have you heard?
Check out others' ideas on the previous origins thread, and feel free to repost any of those ideas here.
If we got your story wrong or left your story out, please post your correction(s) on this thread. The poll will close on Tuesday, May 3, at noon CT.

Can you incorporate my backstory into your story, Icy? I like your idea of you being my sister and I would like to make it real.

Hmmm, I like some things, but I (I know this sounds soooooooo selfish and bragging, but it's the truth) like mine better. (I know, I know,) I really am not trying to be mean or anything, just honest.

I don't actually like the idea of corrupt Powers. It's scary. It means everyone is bad. Your story is also confusing. I think it could use some work, and it occured to me while reading this that we're all making origin stories for the universe, kind of like religions. Most everyone has suggested a good, water dragon and a bad tooth/darkness dragon. Gryphons, unicorns and angel wolves are also common themes. They're too general though. Gryphons and angel wolves both have the powers of air/sky and earth. I would suggest some sort of bird that is nothing more than a bird. Not a special thing like a pheonix but just a bird. I realize that they have to land somewhere, meaning the power of earth, and I respect that, but just tone that part down. How about a sparrow? Or some sort of bird no one really cares to know about, and they say it's superspecial because they don't want to believe that something so ordinary is so important. Angel wolves: wonderful imagery, but a bird covers the air/sky part and the angel part of angel wolves really gets confusing. Also, wolves are pack animals. Are you sure there's not more than one? Dragons: I hate that dragons are always the evil things. How about the unicorn(s) is/are evil? They're typically symbols of light and purity. It would be interesting to turn that inside out. Serpent:I have nothing really to say here. Good job on making the serpent not evil. Is there anything I missed? I really like the idea of the unicorn's and dark dragon's roles being switched.
(Closing).

Droe could be a name for the Serpent. And we should also vote on some names soon.
My capatcha says foze. Are there traders among us? I wonder how much the capatcha knows...

heres part four! Tell me what you think, Scylla, Claaws, Claire, And Icy! And anyone else I forgot to mention :p

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.

W-wow... someone actually wants my critical eyes?
I love your story! It's long, fun, and gives enough detail without offering too much. One thing that I think you didn't do very much was mention the roles that humans played in the beginning. It might be useful to show contrast on how the humans began to become jerks.
But otherwise, great story. 10/10, will read again.

Hey, guys (not trying to be annoying), what about my Power of Evil? It's fine if you don't like it, but I would like to try to contribute. In case you've forgotten, here it is again:
It's a small, smooth, black stone on a chain. It was originally owned by Catastrophe, the evil warlord that started all five of the Catastrophic Wars. When worn around one's neck, it renders the wearer coldhearted, unable to reason clearly and extremely violent. This power controls the actions of the wearer and others that the wearer commands. If you say the words, "Salmso Akkat," while wearing the Power, you will summon Ares, the Song Of War Bird that Catastrophe was very good accquaintences with. However, Catastrophe died in The Battle Of Devil's Back just after his youngest son was born, and the Power was buried in a rockfall with its owner. The day before The Battle Of Devil's Back, though, Catastrophe's head magician made a prophecy that the Power, someday, would find Catastrophe's true heir and wreak havoc again...
PS: I almost forgot: The guardian of this power is Rogud, a giant Scuttler, which is basically a half-spider, half-crab. I will try to post pics of Catastrophe and Rogud soon.

The evil thing is almost always black and very often a stone. I'm going to tell a weird but true story now:
Once I was moving a bulletin board with a poster on it having to do with butterflies. I turned my head while moving it and for a split second it looked like the poster said 'Attack Butterflies'. Which got me thinking: the really evil stuff is disguised. It's pale and light and beautiful and will betray you.
I think that got away from the point, which is that you might want to make the Power of Evil something different. Keep the chain, though. There should be some piece to subtly reinforce the evilness.

Awesome. But like I said can we intertwine the stories like how all the Avengers movies are intertwined?

I am starting a 2-part story on how the Power Of Evil fits into Moonshaddow's story. Anyway, here's the first part. Tell me if you like it!
Catastrophe~ All this long time I've been waiting. Waiting for my armies to gain enough strength to kill the Dragon. It's been two months since I killed off Caelani. Two months too long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one week later...
My sentry looks down at the sinkhole where the Dragon lives. "Not many footholds down the cliff... Master, do you really want to do this?"
I grip the table so hard that I leave dents in it. "SIX YEARS I'VE WANTED TO DO THIS, AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE CLIFF IS TOO STEEP? I DON'T CARE IF ALL MY GENERALS DIE DOING THIS, AND YOU TOO!"
"M-Master, I d-didn't mean-"
"COR, EVEN THE WORLD COMING TO AN END CAN'T STOP ME!"
The sentry flinches. "Y-Yes, s-sir..."
Just then, my best general, Rolak Lezacious (pronounced le-zash-us) strides into the tent. "My master, we are ready to attack the Dragon..."
"Good," I reply.
I stand in front of my entire army. I stare at the cliff. I'm doing it. I'm destroying the Dragon, no ruddy footholds or not.
Part 2 is coming soon... Also, Moonshaddow, do you mind if Catastrophe is the boy?

Wow! Someone actually liked my story enough to add to it! I don't mind a bit if Catastrophe is the boy!
(April 15, 2016 - 3:05 pm)
Okay, here's Part 2!
Catastrophe~ I stared into the sinkhole as my army surrounds it. 500 men, 20 cannons, 100 cannonballs, and one person-me-about to destroy the final Power once and for all. The word formed on my lips. I took a breath. 1, 2, 3-
"CHARGE!" I screamed. The first round of cannons went off, shattering rocks in the bottom of the hole and sending dust up into the air. After a minute, the dust cleared-and there was a figure in the middle of it. "Who are you?" I inquired.
"My name is Claaws," the figure said.
I should've known, I thought to myself.
"What are you here for?" Claaws asked warily.
"I'm here to kill," I replied, an evil smirk crossing my face.
"Ha. Yourself, most likely?" Claaws retorted dryly. I could tell she'd been hardened-probably by her exile-and she wasn't going to be easy to bring down.
"No. You."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes. ATTACK!"
Claaws instantly leaped into the air as a volley of spears soared towards her. She then quickly dived and destroyed a cannon, sending shards of metal and wood everywhere. No matter, I thought. I still have 19 more. But as my army kept fighting, most of the other 19 were taken out, not to mention 300 of my army's men. I was furious. I knew I couldn't die; not here. In a wild attempt to stop Claaws, I got my spear-the very one that killed Caelani and all the others-and covered it in Brazen Goo. I chucked it at Claaws-and it hit her.
I wish. It actually skimmed her flesh and made a scale fall off. It fell, but it seemed to be falling at a faster and faster rate. Suddenly, it hit me in the face. Hard. That was when I noticed that it had turned into a small, smooth, black stone. I put it on. I felt a surge of energy. Then...
"Master, she's dead, she's dead!"
I looked up. Claaws was falling. I had done it. I had killed all the Powers. Or so I thought...
