Satyr76 wrote:After days of traveling on your faithful Otter Bear, you come across the fabled glacier of the North Pole, said to be melted only by the strongest waterbending. As you look at the full moon, your Otter Bear stares at the at the glacier and raises a paw. A small crack appears. You watch, stunned, as the crack becomes larger, and soon, a thick layer of glacier is gone, revealing it to be hollow. Three men walk out to see you, each wearing white coats. The man in the middle says, "Hello. We are the Brothers of the Ice. We live in this glacier to keep the poles cold, and to give the Moon and Ocean spirits energy. Unfortunately, an artifact, called the Moon Pendant, that was vital to the spirits' survival was lost when a tsunami hit the glacier. We believe that the artifact has formed another glacier, far away from here. If you find it, peace will be sustained. But if not, the Moon and Ocean will perissh. Please find it for us." As you nod your head, the glacier closes, and you ride off on your Otter Bear.



After you find the artifact...
I love it. Lets wait till tomorrow, and if none are entered, I will use this. I love it SO MUCH.


You return to the glacier to find that it is already opened, the Brothers of the Moon waiting for you. You hand the man in the middle the artifact. As he puts it on, he says, "You have shown great courage in retrieving this artifact for us."

You see that each man on the side is holding an egg. One is black with a white dot, while the other is white with a black dot.

The man continues, "As a token of our gratitude, choose one of these eggs for you to take to your zoo."

(Pick egg here)

As you take the egg, the glacier closes once more.

Unfortunately, your Otterbear starts to act strange in the ocean, as if something was calling it. A few hours later, you see something on the horizon--something bluish-white. You wonder for a minute what it is...

*options to go there or return to your zoo or something*

The Otterbear climbs out of the water and you get off it to give it a good lecture on behavior, when you suddenly realize that you aren't familiar with this land. Looking around, you find that it is a huge glacier--not at all like the Water Nation you have known. Your Otterbear starts to make sounds and you hear something moving towards you, but you don't know what.

"Hello," a quiet voice says and you whirl around to find a young man with an Otterbear. He is accompanied by two other teams of men and Otterbear. They are wearing strange blue-white coats with unidentifiable furs on the inside and you begin to wonder where you really landed in. "I am a Water Warrior and we are requesting your help," the man says. You notice he has a worried look in his pale blue eyes.

"Um... What kind of help are you looking for?" you ask as your Otterbear and the other Otterbears greet each other.

"I am the son of Hein, who is the Chief of the Water Warriors," the man says. "My name is Yu. Some time ago, a storm hit our home, this glacier-" he waves his hand at the gigantic wall of ice "-and we don't know what happened, but a very sacred ornament was taken-or lost-in the storm. You see, we wanted to appeal to the Spirits of the Moon and the Koi to ask about the future and blessings for newlyweds and newborn children," Yu explains. "And that artifact is a gift of the Koi. We have the other, safely hidden, but without the two, we cannot perform the ritual." The other two men have already caught up to Yu.

"Ever since the Pendant of the Koi was stolen, we used our Otterbears to call out to fisherman and other Otterbears so they could help us," the second man, who seems older than Yu, says. "And it was because of the delayed ritual that we had that awful storm..." His voice trails off.

"I-I'll help you guys," you say, sympathizing for them. "Do you have an idea where the Pendant is?" you ask.

"We have no idea, but I suggest seeking the Serpent in Serpent's Pass, first," Yu says. "Our first suspects are those that can swim underwater. We have known for some time that the Serpent is a hoarder and can use telepathy to speak to humans." You nod and call to your Otterbear. "I wish you luck!" Yu calls out as you drift off into the ocean.

*at Serpent's Pass*

"Who dares to trespass my domain?" hisses a voice in your head. Your Otterbear and yourself had already gone to land. The Serpent's head is above the water, looking down on you. You face the beast with bravery.

"It is I, the one who has found your egg," you call out. "Your infant is doing fine. I say that it has grown to be as large and healthy as you are!" The Serpent's tongue flicks out and lowers itself to your level.

"Ah, so it is you," it says. "What do you want? I am still in your favor."

"Some time ago, a glacier containing the Water Warriors was hit by a storm," you begin. "During the storm, a Pendant of theirs went missing. Do you know where it is? All I seek is information and the Pendant, if you are the one who took it." The Serpent raises its head and shakes it, large drops of water hitting you and your Otterbear.

"I know about the storm, but not about the Pendant. Last week, I saw something pretty float through the waters, heading for the Earth Kingdom. Go across to the place near the mountains and you may find it." You thank the Serpent and set out once again.

*go to the Island, purchase a map, or just go across to the land across the Pass... Find the artifact, go back to the people*

Your Otterbear knows the way back to the glacier and when you were beached on it, Yu and someone older than his friend are there. You suspect it is Yu's father, the Chief of the Water Warriors. You run towards them, holding the Pendant.

"I've found it!" you shout. The Chief smiles and holds out his hands. You gently place the Pendant of the Koi in them. "The Serpent helped me find it," you explain.

"That's great! Thank you!" Yu says. "We can't thank you enough... Father-I mean, Chief, how do we thank this person?" The Chief beckons to his son and to you. he turns around and walks into a hole in the glacier that was formed earlier. You wonder how you missed it the first time you landed here. As the three of you walk down the eerily translucent halls of the glacier, the Chief begins to tell a tale.

"The Water Warriors are an ancient people. Our forefathers decided to separate from the Water Nation, which slowly lost its ways. We preserved it, as you can see. The Moon and the Koi Spirits were grateful for our preserving their ways for life and granted us the two Pendants. We were to ask them for help when times were tough, to ask for blessings for any good occasions. They, in turn, gave their blessings and omens, warnings of future disasters and so on. But we ourselves became busy, too. We delayed the rituals for imported fish and money from our works. They became angry and would punish us with storms."

The Chief pauses in his story as you see another hole. He goes through and you follow. Yu is no where to be seen. A spectacular sight meets your eyes: a cavern with three pools of water. The middle was the largest and you step forward to peer into its waters.

"Once we lost the Pendant of the Koi did we begin to realize how important it was for us to keep the rituals," the Chief says. He places the Pendant into a hole within the pool of water, and suddenly, the pool is brightened and sparkles. You gasp. When you turn to ask the Chief about it, you see Yu standing next to the Chief, whose hands holds two mysterious objects.

"We cannot thank you enough," Yu repeats. "So please, take one of the koi eggs." You see an egg that is white with a black dot on it, while the other is black with a white dot on it. "You can choose which you want."

Which do you choose?

*choose egg*

"Thank you again, young one," the Chief says. "You are a friend of the Ancient Water Warriors, and are always welcome to return. Take good care of the egg." Yu rushes out of the glacier to see you off. As your Otterbear slides into the water, the Chief adds, "Farewell, friend. until we meet again." And you and your Otterbear swim home.


Oh gosh. You can do anything with this xD

I was planning on entering, but I just noticed the deadline, and that's way too close for me to try. So I'll just sit this one out.

I'm sure Reb was just joking, and wouldn't blow off everyone else who wanted to enter.

No, it's not that, and I assumed he was joking as well. I mean the deadline is this Tuesday. That's only 2 days to work on it... It feels rushed to me, so I don't want to spend time on something that I probably wouldn't finish in time, thus would only result in me falling behind in like.. schoolwork or something.. -shrugs-

Wait, it isn't. DDDD: Oh well.
