Sorry to sound pushy, but will the judging be done soon?
Not pressuring or anything, I'm just curious if it will be soon or not

Username: Stoneleaf
Name: Nerites. (name explained in adventure/story)
Gender: Stallion
Age: 5 years.
Adventure: Nerites, on no particular day, had been searching for shellfish.** He was particularly driven to find a shellfish today, but for no reason. He hadn't wandered waters long before he found one, and pinning it to the sea floor, he looked at it, curious. In a strikingly childish and stupid move, Nerites attempted to eat it, but before he could, he jerked his head back; and suddenly he was seeing something different. He was witnessing a vision, with the shellfish still pinned beneath a hoof.

In this vision he couldn't tell what he was, or who, but he seemed to be mostly one of those land-dwelling creatures that walk about on upright legs. He had heard about them before, but forgot what they were called. He was looking at a beautiful being, and everything was mute and black and white as of now. But in a few moments everything became clearer. Color came, and he started to hear just as the female in front of him began speaking. As this being was speaking, he tuned in and listened. "I can promise you a pair of wings! Just come!" But he found himself shaking his head. He was in no control of this vision, and he just shook his head. Then the being in front of him seemed to get angry with this, and did something spectacular. With not much of a hassle, she turned the male before her into a shellfish.

Nerites shook as he looked down at the shellfish beneath his hoof. He was back to the present, and frightened by this vision, he let go of the shellfish. He turned away, but stopped before going anywhere. He remembered his vision clearly, and the sight of the being with seemingly magic powers lingered in his mind. Why would any being do that to another? That was cruel, he thought. And suddenly filled with a new determination, Nerites started to wander the waters again, this time in hopes of finding that thing that had turned another into a shellfish. He was determined to find it, and seek revenge. But was that really what he was looking for? Maybe Nerites just wanted to know why. Why was she trying to get the other to come with her? Where was she going? Nerites was full of questions to ask, but he had to find her first.

That was the beginning of his adventure yet to be completed.

**= Sorry if shellfish aren't actually part of a GoS' diet. This is my first time trying out for one, so please dont' get upset if I got that wrong!

You're probably wondering what my story meant. Well, I am a big mythology fan. And as soon as I saw this GoS it reminded me of Poseidon, and doing some more research on water-related Gods and Goddesses, I came across one called Nerites. Aphrodite was trying to persuade him to come to Olympus with her, and she even promised him wings, but he refused, and so in turn she turned him into a shellfish. That's where I got my inspiration for this little thing, and the GoS here is a reincarnation of Nerites. That's why I named him that, so he could be a reincarnation. c:

This link doesn't work right, apparently, so if you want to read the quick story of Nerites you'll have to go to Wikipedia yourself and search Nerites. Make sure it's the greek mythology one, where Aphrodite wants him to come to Olympus with her but he refuses so she turns him into a shellfish

Credit to whoever wrote the article, I don't claim the mythological Nerites as my own
Credit to the owner of the gif as well, I don't claim that as my own, either

Congrats!

Sorry for letting you guys wait so long, life was quite busy and judging wasnt that easy for me too! You all wrote so good stories, in the end I had a friend let me help deciding, otherwise I think that would have never come to an end. >w>"

Congratulations!
Honestly, you won my current dream GoS. If you consider to offer one of his breeding slots one day, please let me know. ^^'

[stoneleaf]

Oh my gosh! I actually won!!!!
Thank you!! <3

Also, Yamaneko, sorry that I stole your dream GoS! I feel kind of bad!
I wouldn't mind offering one of his breeding slots for you, I just don't know how
Does it cost anything to breed them? I assume it does.

[Yamaneko]

No reason to feel bad. My form was just not good enough.

For a breeding I would just need a permission quote.
Breeding does actually cost something but no worries about the price. As I want to keep the foal I'll pay. And I think I could easily afford a breeding.
The breeding slots are much more important, as every Guardian can only breed five times.
But before I write and write and write, just take a look at this thread. There you'll find all information about breeding.

[stoneleaf]

I read it, I understand.
I'd be fine with letting you breed with mine. c:
Just give me the link to the offspring when it's designed!

I'd love to roleplay Nerites, if that's what you can do with GoS
