"the watcher at the gate"

╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮


There are two statues standing guard at the mouth of the valley of the Weathering inhabit. The first is a crumbling stone unicorn, layered in wreathes of daisies. The other is a large glass dragon like beast in glittering gold armor, his neck caught between two saplings. He shines in the sun, throwing rainbow reflections across the path. Even with the unicorn's delicate looking state and the shine of the dragons scales, the elders stay silent in respect while passing, and newcomers slink through their shadows.

There are whispers that neither statue started out as such and before, they were both free living beasts, the guardians of, well, no one truly knows myths have been told a village of faerie wonderment and mysticism forgotten with time lays beyond their protection. However it is truly known by few what lays beyond is not a village but rather a well of stars a place of only few can enter that transports believers to places unfathomable where one can truly touch the sun, if they dare enter its divine waters. It is also said that the regal dragon statue was once a knight, that it was his job to stand and keep watch over the gates of said curious realm, but as he grew older his body aged to the point where he was no longer able to keep his watch duties. He sought the help of the mages, and they built him a glass body that would never age His spirit placed inside, and now he can stand at the gates with the stone unicorn, ever watchful of those who enter, only to exit his glass sarcophagus to play the offense at moon-high.

gender; female
prompt; the old texts described of a green dragon whose horns stood like branches to a tree. a guardian to a grove full of unknown trees. no one was certain to the existence of this mythical beast and the even more mythical grove under the dragon's ownership. texts showed tales of old that recant the tales of fires started to protect this grove or the swift punishment without remorse for entering the beast's grove. it was told that the beast is a guardian from heavenly bodies to protect over a grove to anyone. from what this was saying, no one had ever been the same after encountering the beast of the green dragon.

the young ones always tried to venture out into the world to find its grove. the ones who did return, with a look that said that they witnessed the horrors of the whole world, faced questions that always ended with the same advice of not even dare to seek out the grove. rumors were sturred of the power of the beast and its elusive grove throughout the generations. it stirred multiple tales to add to the ever-expanding mythos throughout this small region.

if one did seek out this grove against the advice of the small region, then they face a maze in the woods, and hallucinations brought on by the beast in order to guard against intruders. theses are always can be fought off with spells from anyone who as the knowledge from the old text. the beast always knows of it; however, it can do anything against what the spells do. it would just watch with a cunning plan in its head.

eventually, the daring ones come across the grove with its unknown trees. the green dragon stood in the shadow of it, always threatening a battle. this has spawned stories that is an entity created as a manifestation of the grove. if one came too close, then no mercy would be put into the battle. tempers would flare, and most fail here from the beast taking no mercy upon them. no one ever turns around from this point unless successful.

this grove houses the memories of the world in each fruit. successful young ones ate this fruit and faced everything that was every experienced in the world at once. it causes much pain and a whole lot of problems for the future to the point where the victim refuses to speak of it. the beast never pursues after any successful ones as it always knows that there is no need to continue on with seeking to guard it. whenever the successful ones leave, the beast and the grove vanishes to ensure it can't be tracked if they decide to tell others.

from over the years, the beast had always been the guardian of its grove with all of its myths and the reputation.

Sorry for the delay in getting the winner up, I got sick in the middle of judging this.
There was so many great forms here, and it was really hard to choose between a few favorites.

HMs go to:

parker;, Meduz, Takk, aloe~, petrify, puddsoul, & Zailune

And the winner is doge fruit!

I just really enjoyed your story, and the relationship between the two kalons. It stuck with me for a while after I'd finished reading it, and I kept circling back to it when trying to narrow down the list. There seems to be a lot of potential for their story to continue. Congrats! You've been added to the ref.

To everyone else, I know this was a big comp, and if you want to DM me, I can always try and give you honest crit on your form if you'd like it. A lot of them were really great, but there can only be one winner!
