i'm super happy to bring you guys my first kalon adopt!! to be honest, they were a little out of my comfort zone but i had a lot of fun designing them regardless.

to win this kal, tell me how they lost their leg through either 500 words max or one art piece (min. of a colored sketch)! was it a tragic incident? a playful memory? or did it just fall off one day? either way, it'll surely make for an interesting story.

prompt:

seulgi is a stuffed doll. she always has been. her owner, a young girl named mari loved her very dearly.
mari is the daughter of a renowned sorceress, who was the one who gifted her the plush doll.
as a sorceress, she added her own bits of magic and mystery into the doll. whenever mari got lonely,
seulgi would come to life to keep her company. when mom was away, seulgi was there to protect her.
seulgi was like her second parent. a good friend. a cherished memory. whenever mari activated her
pendant which contained the magic to animate seulgi, she would come alive.

but that would all change one day. mari and seulgi were at the beach. relaxing. seulgi was in doll form
at the time, when all of a sudden, the tide dragged her our to see. mari was occupied with a sandcastle,
and was not aware of what was happening. her mother was napping, and did not notice either. meanwhile,
seulgi was being dragged out to sea, and soon lost all conciousness.



when seulgi awoke from her slumber, she was back at home. 'it must have just been a bad dream', she thought.
she was in her kalon form, curled up in her bed. she got up to stretch, but suddenly lost her balance. confused,
she got up and tried again. but she was struggling to stand. suddenly mari ran into the room, holding a prosthetic.
it was covered in stickers and crayons, but nonetheless seulgi loved it.

seulgi has been using the prosthetics that mari has made for her since, the designs changing as mari grew older.
however, now that mari is older, she no longer needs a caretaker. so, she gave her to her own daughter, and now
they have even more memories to make and share. and even though the technology now exists to magically
restore her leg, she chooses to keep it the way it is. it's a way for her to cherish the old times she had.

He could see it… the world on fire. A blazing sky filled with shadowless creatures and the screams of the townspeople. He could see it. Those creatures devoured everything, like fire to ash, everything was gone in a moment. All of it, the buildings, the people, down in a blaze of glory.

Glorious it was. He could feel the tug of his lips, a quiet smile he didn't know he could still make. Let it disappear, let it burn, he howled in his mind. He moved forward to get a better view dragging his body across the ground so he could see better, hear better, watch it all be destroyed. He hoisted himself up, plastering his face on the bolted window. Watching with bright eyes.

As if the creatures heard his call they became more destructive and violent but his little prison stayed intact through it all. A woman rushed out, a filthy kind she was, a sorceress who delved in black magic, and him, he was the child of that wicked woman. No more precisely he was the test subject of that woman, a doll to take apart and put back together. His arms and legs, taken off then sewed back on. This time one of his legs was chosen to be studied.

Your blood is my blood, your flesh is my flesh, your bones are my bones that woman would say to him. A special sort of crazy she was hoping that by studying that of the same she would be able to obtain a great power. 'See' she said while holding his leg, 'your leg is my leg, when I run out of parts you can give me them'. New parts for her decaying body, my parts used as spare parts. But no matter, this is the end.

He watched a creature swallow her whole, and in that moment he let out a laugh, a cry, a heart wrenching scream. Gone, gone, it was all gone now. His body tumbled down and he could feel the weakness of his bones, ache from his limb, but no matter it was all gone now.

He could see it… the world on fire. A blazing sky filled with shadowless creatures and the screams of the townspeople. He could see it. Those creatures devoured everything, like fire to ash, everything was gone in a moment. All of it, the buildings, the people, down in a blaze of glory. And he, center of it all, lay gently on a haystack, a creature floating in his eyes.

As you stared at the Kal before you, a thought kept coming to your mind. One that you kept trying to dismiss, but to no avail as it just kept popping back in your mind.
And soon before you knew it that thought turned into words, words that were stuck in your throat, bubbling like carbonated soda until they finally burst out into the open. "How did you lose your leg?"

Those words came out far too quickly, and sadly unbeknown to you, Noel didn't mind telling you his tale.... The only problem is no one knows which tale is true? Anytime someone asks him, he changes the answer each time.
_______________
_______________

"There was a mess up with the design/lines so I tried to erase and fix it, but accidentally clicked save instead of undo."
_____
"I'm not really sure what happened... I just woke up one morning and it was gone."
_____
"Mosquito bite."
_____
"A sea monster ate it."
_____
"It was a terrible allergic reaction, took one bite of a plum and boom, no more leg."
_____
"OH that? No worries I'm just experiencing some lag, it will pop up again soon."
_____
"What missing leg?"
_____
"OH, it's still there, it's just invisible!"
_____
"I sneezed and it popped off."
_____
"I didn't need it anymore."

So when it comes down to how Noel lost his leg, no one really knows, with how many answers he's given and has come up with, it all begins to feel like some sort of fish tale! And the true answer seems to be something Noel likes to drag out, and fill with humor. But when all the cards are down, and all the jokes aside, the true reason for Noel's missing leg, is a simple one. He never actually lost it, he was just born without one.

As a child even to his adulthood, being born without a leg never seemed to really bother him, he just didn't seem to care or even notice that there was anything different about him from others. He would just run, laugh, and play with all the other kids! Without a care in the world.

But through the years as he grew, there was one question that never seemed to let up.
(how did you lose your leg?)

It was this question that lived as a constant reminder that there "was" something different about him, something he could never get back.
But there was one thing that always helped in these moments, one thing that always made him feel better about his circumstances. And that was humor! Making jokes at his own expense at random times. Spinning humorous tales whenever asked,
It was these jokes, about his missing leg that made him feel better, about what was lost. It was his own special way of coping.

Besides if you're curious enough to ask and wonder about his leg, would you really be satisfied with the truth?

Ceri was sitting at her desk when a cloaked figure barged in.
“Ceri, Chyros knows you have the compass. You need to leave. Now.”
She stood up and instinctively checked her neck where she had kept the compass before moving it to a safer place.
“She’s known for a while, she just needs to act. I can handle it-“
“No, she’s coming Ceri. She has her axe and she’s coming and you’re going to die and I can’t, you need to go, please hurry she knows where we are.”
“If you’re this worried, I’m going to go.”
Ceri gathered her things and got ready to go. The compass was safe around her neck, and the cloak was pulled tight. She was about to flee through the secret passage behind the bookshelf, when she heard the clack of claws on wood.
“Ceri, go now.”
“I can hear you both.”
The clacking came closer and Ceri scrambled to open the secret passage. Her friend shoved her through the door and closed it behind her right as Chyros stalked into the room.
Ceri pressed her ear against the door.
“Chyros please I don’t know where it is!”
“Yes you do.”
Ceri gasped as she heard a thump. Peeking through a crack in the bookcase, she saw Chyros turn around the room. Guards rushed in and started turning everything inside out. Just as she was about to run, the bookcase swung open. Her friend was knocked unconscious, and the office was a mess.
“I see you Ceri.”
She tried to run for the exit, but the guards blocked her and pushed her away.
“Look Ceri, I just want the compass, and maybe you and your friend can live?”
Ceri scrambled to find a way out, but Chyros grabbed her cloak and spun her around.
“I know you have the compass. Give. It. To. Me.”
Ceri started hyperventilating. Her friend might die and it would be all her fault, but then hundreds might die if she hands the compass away. With shaking paws, Ceri reached under her cloak and ripped the compass off its chain. Chyros snatched the compass away.
“Oh, and one more thing. Don’t ever underestimate me. Don’t ever think you’ll be safe again.”
With the last word, Ceri blacked out.


“Ceri, oh my gosh it’s been an hour!”
“Do you think she’ll wake up? She’s lost a lot of blood.”
Ceri slowly opened her eyes.
“YES!”
Ceris’ friend wrapped her in a hug.
“Ow?”
“Yeah there’s a lot to explain. Uh, like for the fact you lost your leg. She was really mad I bet. But you still have the compass, right?”
Ceri moaned.
“Did, did you give it to her?”
She nodded.
Both kalons groaned.
“Ok, we need to get moving. I know where a realm-gate it.”
Ceri slowly hobbled after them. So Chyros had the compass and chopped off her leg, and she was on the run with her friend, and it was all her fault.
