Hiccup wrote:What is a Jellybean Dragon?
A Jellybean Dragon is a fluffy, friendly dragon that hatches from a jellybean-like egg. Their diet consists of fruits and insects, but they also love sweets and desserts. Their fur is soft and long, usually brightly colored and it's always neat and shiny. Jellybean Dragons are gentle and happy, and love attention. Most are Great Dane-sized when they are fully grown, but some of them can grow as big as a cow. All Jellybean Dragons have pouches on their bellies, which they use to carry around food or younger JBDs.

Name requirements-
I would prefer that the names mean something together, not random names. I would prefer if they were a *bit* more fancy than just Bob and Bobette or something. I would like it if the names would mean something.
Gender-
The JBD on the left (light one) is a girl and the JBD on the right (dark one) is a boy. It's up to you to interpret their relationships. They can either be SIBLINGS or MATES.
You may NOT change the gender!
Art requirements-
I would like the artist of the pair to do a FULL piece that is ORIGINAL to the artist..do NOT color line arts! You may only do 1 piece of art. This piece must have color, shading, highlight (optional), and a complete background. This piece must include BOTH JBD. Extra points will be awarded if the picture is a scene from the story. I would like it to be something meaningful, not just the two doing something random. I want to be able to feel the emotion in the piece.
Their shoulder markings are SYMMETRICAL but their face markings are NOT
No, I will NOT give you the color codes! You either have to get them yourself or take a guess. ;)
Please do not add items to them.
Story-
This may NOT be over 400 words (a few over is ok.. like in the 420's or something. ASK me if it's more). It may not be under 250 words. I want it to be meaningful as well. It must demonstrate the meaning of their relationship, such as...Show how close they are as friends, or how much they love eachother as mates or siblings. A plot based around and supporting this.
You must interpret this however you can
It doesn't matter to me what/when it's about as long as it meets the requirements

I'm doing the- Story
Story-"And one, the opposite of the other shall be." The male's voice rang out as he looked down upon the bundle, seeing two perfect balls, one black, the other silver. Their mother's, Jaden's mate, body lay lifeless, fallen to a terrible illness. Their uncle, Dysemene, upon hearing the news had stolen into the night with dark intentions, claiming the dark male child, Altair. After absconding with him, Jaden was left with the silver female, Vega.
Both were raised in isolation, Jaden enraged with his brother-in-law, but with little power to change the course of fate. Soon Dysemene grew old, leaving Altair only 14 but able to fend for himself. He ran into the night, intent on finding his father and his twin sister.
It was in the moonlight that the two found each other, Vega having left Jaden to search for her brother. They immediately recognized each other, running into each other's arms. Though the two had grown apart physically, they were one in the same. Without the other, neither was complete.
"Oh Vega, I've missed you so," Altar said softly, gently licking the cheek of his dear sister. She smiled, nuzzling her face into his neckfur. But just as fate had separated them now, it would separate them once more. Jaden, having caught up to his daughter, was enraged that his son was back. Thinking his son had been swayed to Dysemene's treacherous ways he cast him back out.
It was only every seven days that Vega could sneak out to be with her brother. Every seventh day she would find him under the stars, and lie with him. These nights were filled with bliss, and soon the two took to watching the constellations, two of which near each other, only to be pulled away.
”We were named for the stars,” she told him, standing above him as he gazed to the heavens. ”See those two? The ones we have been following? They are called Altair and Vega, just as we are.” Altair, who had always been silent, watched her with a small smile. ”They only meet every seven years,” she continued, smiling all the while.
”Are we destined too, to only see each other when the constellations meet?” Altair asked grimly, his face severe. The thought was abhorrent. Vega left soon after, leaving her brother to mull over their time.
She returned four days later, all of her possessions tucked into her pouch, having left their father.
”Only we can change our destiny.”
