Kalon Name: Casey
Prompt:

The wind blows through the dark gloomy woods.
It's too cold of an autumn day for a lil Kalon like you to be walking through the woods.

Oh lil Kalon, beware of the dangers that lurk in the dark. Quickly, make your way to Grandma's.
The dark home comes into view. Scurry in, night is about to fall.

Grandma is laying in bed. "My my, sweet child, comes closer to grandma. I can't hear you from there."

"Oh, grandma, what worries you so much that you cry?"

"It was getting late, my dear."

"Grandma, why have the plants grown around you?"

"I have been waiting so long for you my dear."

"Grandma, why have you worn such large jewelry?"

"To dress my best for you my dear."

"Grandma, why have you gain so many tails?"

"For better balance my dear."

"Grandma... why have you sprouted some wings?"

"For me to fly into the night sky my dear."

Her wings flap open as she soars out the window with the lil Kalon in tow. The lil Kalon’s hood flies away as the cold seeps into the skin.

"Grandma! Where are we going?!"

"To my new home my dear."

Clench your eyes tight lil Kalon and wish to awaken.

...

The kalon wakes up with a jolt and cold sweat running down their back. The kalon looks over to a picture of their late grandmother and sighs. Grandma looking as she always does, normal. No extra tails, gems, wings, and all that. The kalon mumbles under their breath to the picture of grandma, "What a strange dream... and who was that voice that narrated and spoke to me?"

Kalon Name: Garrett
Prompt:

This is a story, about a chosen one, who was blessed by the divinities of Gods.
(The God of Wings, Plants, Crystals, Tails, and Water.)
Who sought to turn this chosen one into a vessel, a blessing to the mortals below...

Or so they thought.
____________________________________
God of Wings - "I think we may have made a mistake with this one..."

God of Plants - "YOU THINK?! The chosen one is literally running around laughing like a maniac!! They even set fire to seven houses!! And we didn't even bless them with fire!?"

God of Tails - "... Make that 8, houses."

God of Crystals - "by the heavenly stars this is a nightmare... Us... The gods, what were we thinking... What was thought to be a blessing for the mortals, has turned into a monster..."

God of Water - "Guys, guys, chill, yeah sure, things didn't go as planned, and what we thought was going to be the blessed one, has now grown into a maniac, but we're gods, we can fixed this! All we need is a good little..." *Snap*
-----
(meanwhile on earth)

Garrett stood on a rock, his arms stretched up high over his head, as he laughed into the air!! Crystals and plants over taking the town, an endless waterfall shooting out from his eyes, causing a minor flood.

The villagers looked upon him in fear as they coward back, all seeming lost...

Suddenly, the clouds parted ways, allowing a single bolt of lightning to shoot out, hitting Garrett square in the head, sending him flying in a blur of smoke.
-------
(back in the heavens)
*insert bug zapping sound*

God of Wings - "WHAT THE HECK, WATER!! YOU SHOT A LIGHTNING BOLT AT THE CHOSEN ONE!!? "

God of Plants - "Wait... Look, the chosen one... Their water trait is gone!!?"

God of Water - "See guys, problem solved, we blessed the chosen one with our gifts, so the simple answer is, we just take them right back!"

God of Wings, Plants, Crystals, Tails - "....."
*Snap, Snap, Snap, Snap!*
------
(meanwhile 'back' on earth)

Now fried to a crisp, Garrett slowly pushed himself up, blinking his eyes in a daze, smoke floating from his scorched fur.

"W-What’s going on?"

Suddenly, the sky parted once more and a glorious bright light ascended towards him.

What was this? Another blessing? Could the gods be wanting to bless him more after the unfortunate lightning strike?
What new traits would befall him now!? What awesome new-

*insert multiple bug zapping sounds*
______________________________________
And so, with the mistake corrected, the Gods all high-fived each other and called it a day.

Prompt:

Let me tell you the tale of how I lost everything that was once dear to me...

It all happened so long ago.
I was a beautiful sight to behold with my many glorious traits adorning my form.
People from all around would stop, point, and stare at me. I was the talk of the town.
But I wanted something more than what that old town had to offer, so I left, I set out on an adventure to see what this world really had to offer that this town couldn't.

I traveled a long ways from my home, barely able to see it in the distance from where I stood, but continued on.
As I strolled through the forest, the most devine smell of freshly baked bread caught my senses, and to my surprise it was baked by an old forest troll.
I asked him if I might have the bread, and he suggested a trade, but all I had to give was what was on my back, literally.
I gave him my wings in trade for the bread, and went about my way.

The next morning I woke under a tree I slept by, not realizing it was inhabited by a fairy, who was slicing some of the most delicious of meats, and I just had to have some.
So I asked the fairy for some, and they would accept if I gave them my crystals in return, and I eagerly agreed to the trade.

Later that afternoon I came upon a dragon, who was gorging itself on some of the finest cheese known to man. I simply must have some, so I approached the dragon without fear and asked for some of it's cheese.
It agreed but only for a gift in exchange, so without a thought I gave it my plants.

That evening I continued my travels when I came across a beautiful and luscious garden, owned by a terrifying cyclops.
But the fresh vegetables called out to me, and I begged the cyclops to let me have some.
He laughed, at my pitiful begging, but obliged if I could give him something worth his while, so I offered him my waterfall tears. He paused for a moment looking at his garden and agreed to the trade.

That night when I set up camp, a unicorn poked me in the ribs, startling me.
Behind her was a wagon filled with different trinkets and commodities.
My eyes lit up at the sight of some jars.
She said they were flavorful condiments said to have come from a far off land.
So I purchase them by giving the unicorn my tails in exchange.

I was at the end of my travels, I had finally done what I had set out to do, something that old town could never offer, to make the world's best sandwich!
And by the gods it was the best sandwich, just a shame how expensive it turned out to be, but so worth it.

Closed! Results will be posted when I've designed the kal

[cyrevan]

The winner is honee bee - 348767
I absolutely LOVE how this entry reads like an aesop fable, and the idea of the kalon's new appearance never being restored but rather reflecting the version of himself that learned from his mistakes. I was already scheming to incorporate the fake legendary traits into the design somehow and this story makes the reflections of those traits truly feel a part of the character. The symbolism of each trait is excellent, this entry has such good storytelling.


I'd like to award an honorable mention to Alantica 349242
If the winning entry is an aesop fable, this one is a fairy tale!! The inspiration from little red riding hood is super cute!!

Sorry this took forever as usual JFGJKSHF i tried to integrate the default kal somewhat, unsure how i feel about the results but I hope you enjoy!
