Aurakeeper, that was her name.

She whinnied and twirled in circles as those uncountable colorful shapes danced around her. They seemed to welcome her presence, flickering with light at her excitement as if merely laughing. In return she would only whinny more and relish in the feel of being alive after sleeping for so long. The guardian could feel the lights' power seep into her chest and head, filling her with uncountable sensations, uncountable emotions... each light seemed to have a different energy, some sort of soul, and she could only watch as they let the wind carry them away and high in the sky, apparently reuniting them with their siblings in those vasts curtains of colors. The entire forest before her, too, seemed to be leaking the same colorful energy, all of it dissipating in thin air and becoming one with the atmosphere... and with such an inspiring sight, the joyful guardian leapt and sped across the illuminated landscap.

After ages of slumber, it was finally time for Aurakeeper to assume her role as the Guardian of Auras.




Image
Dreamcatcher, that was her name.

As the newly risen guardian finished shaking the duller rocks off her shell, she looked up at the stars and basked in their glow, their power... Their secrets. It was as if every single star had it's own little tale to share and, with the guardian finally awake again, it could finally tell its stories to somebody. The thought made Dreamcatcher smile. She bowed her head in respect to those shining pools of wisdom and let them touch her being with their energy once more, the energy of the universe, and as she leapt for the darkened sky, the guardian wove their voices, stories and knowledge into endless streams of moving images...

After all, what are dreams if not little whispers of the universe?

Corewatcher, that was his name.

The guardian could feel his very form fill with the power of a thousand lightnings. The sensation was overwhelming and he absolutely loved it. He felt so powerful, so unstoppable... and as he broke through the dense walls of stormy clouds, his rough, dull shell of rock cracked open and gave place to his true form, crackling with raw energy. It looked like the very core of the planet seemed to cherish his return as well, for lands shook with earthquakes and volcanoes came to life wherever his hooves galloped over.

It was the return of Corewatcher, the Guardian of Power.

From the corner of his eyes he could see his siblings joining his sides, four colorful little comets smiling to each other in a silent understandment. They would whinny their greetings, but it was no use. The sound barrier had been broken long ago.

Their speed grew at each second, their forms distorting into nothing but blurs of light as they whipped across the planet. The five guardians, the five children of the universe, were together once more, ready to restore the balance of this and all worlds like they did so many times before. It was their routine, their job... a very slow one, I must say, but special nonetheless. They absolutely adored the feeling of running freely, of getting to take a good look at the beauty of the worlds they protected, of finally unleashing the power they had been holding back for so long.

And once they were finished, just like in every cycle, they would return to their birthplace, the very core of the universe itself... a place where thousands of their other siblings would return as well from their own world. There they would no longer be recognizable as their so precious forms. Instead, they would be nothing but stars in that sea of lights, stars with lots of stories to share from their travels and missions.

Stars that would fall back to that so lovely little planet when it was time for the guardians to rise again.


And this, children, was the tale of the Geode Guardians of the Universe. *closes thick old book*


That story gave me chills. :clap: Love your writing. c:

I absolutely agree! If you ever decide to change jobs, I think a writer/author would work very well for you! I'd love to read more things you write/have written someday!

Geodes like it says at the end of the story.

The theme was confirmed back when Biomancer (the first one) grew. His geode was based on the ones with frogs trapped in them.

Haha, I actually do hope/plan on publishing a book series one day, I love creating and writing stories ^^.

I'm really, really glad to see you all enjoyed the little story I made up for the litter. Like I said before, the first concept for these horses was of them being just geode inspired... however, as I worked on the Biomancer guardian I thought they could be a lot more interesting. I've always had an abnormally fertile imagination, you could say I wanted people to see the pets a little like I do most times when I design them, as something more than just a bunch of colorful pixels, you know? And when you read a little story behind a design, you tend to no longer see it as just another themed pet, but something much more special ^^.

I remember that when I was little I'd see geodes as some sort of "universe egg", specially those huge amethyst geodes. I mean, it's a boring chunk of rock that seems to hold an entire universe filled with stars inside them, it was so magical to me when I was a kid and it still is nowadays XD. And so I thought turning those geode horses into guardians was just appropriate, for while they clearly hold part of their own world close to them through their rocky shells, they also hold a little piece of the mysterious universe inside, just waiting for the day the guardian wakes up and is ready to crack open.

But well, enough babbling all over you XD. Like I said, I'm so happy you enjoyed this litter, specially since they were quite a handful to work on due to all the details. I guess I should try make more story-deep litters in the future ;3.

Oh, and regarding the geode types...

Aurakeeper: Opal Geode
Dreamcatcher: Amethyst Geode
Corewatcher: Blue Agate Geode

Sentenced to a life of nothing but loneliness...

These horses are amazing! I especially like Corewatcher - the colors and detail are pixel-perfect! This is a horse litter I will remember.

All of this months pets were really nice. I like the patterns of the rats, and the fruit kittens are so cute! The rainbow-eyed PPS looks amazing, and the rest of the litter is great too. And the multicolored gold-swirl dogs are beautiful! I love their colors.

Has the theme of this dog litter actually been confirmed? I'm baffled...

I believe the artist said they're summer themed. Rain storms, sunshine, pools, etc. Nothing really specific ^^

Hi, I'm Dark Dragonness.
I'm more of a forum lurker, so don't expect to see many posts/trades from me.
I sometimes gift people, but other than that I'm not an active trader.
If you want to trade, make it fair and I might respond, but don't count on it.
