T3: By saberdude23 ( I might write more than 500 word, hope i can still qualify)
Yun and I were in the Golden Jungle trying to track down Shashura. To reach Shashura, we had to go through the Golden Jungle and the Griffin, allied with Shashura would obviously not let us through easily, which we would have to slay to reach Shashura. Yun could talk to the Jungle, the nature around us. The animals could feel Yun’s love for nature and they decided to help us. It was a great advantage for us to be able to talk to the animals as they could help us with the direction. We had to slay the Griffin whose lair is the Jungle. As the animals described it, the Griffin had a great head and wings of an eagle with a body of a lion. Its forelegs are of a lion and its hind legs are of an eagle. We were told to be careful by the Bird Chief of the Jungle that the griffin could create strong gust of wind to attack, and to follow and walk along the Golden river to reach the group of oak trees, where the nest of the Griffin is. The Gorilla Chief said that the other Chiefs of the Jungle would send their best warriors to help out. After that, we begin the dangerous journey to the nest of the Griffin.
After a short while we felt that the Jungle was actually very resourceful. There were blue herbs to help us with our healing, water from the Golden River, and fruits like bananas and grapes. The jungle was actually quite beautiful as a lair of a beast. It looked like a painting of a hundred colors. There were green grapes, yellow from the Golden River and different shades of green of the dense agriculture and other amazing mixtures of colors.
We were walking along the Golden River when we heard a thunderous roar from a lion followed with an ear-piercing screech of an eagle. And then footsteps, coming closer and closer. If it was what I think it was, we would be in trouble. We were not ready, not ready enough…
“Who dares enter my terroritory! Its seems that you two over have. Crossing into my territory is a shame to my pride as the Griffin!! I shall not kill instantly, but make you suffer!” the Griffin bellowed! He smashed the ground with its claws and broke the ground, the ground started to shake and we fell into a hole, as wide and tall as a basilisk. The Griffin laughed, flapped its golden wings and flew off.
Yun thought for a moment and said,” I will try to stone the hole with my dark hammer and we climb up while holding onto the whip after whipping it up on a tree branch. After Yun carefully hit the earth walls for a moment, I could see the walls shift and shake. I knew that the walls were going to collapse, and unfortunately now…
“Yun! The walls are going to collapse. Hit the walls one more time, hurry!” I shouted to Yun as the soil fell on my head. Yun smacked the wall one last time and miraculously, the walls got stoned.” The walls are going to return to normal soon, let’s hurry!” Yun told me. We both caught hold of the branch with our whips and hurriedly climbed out of the stone hole. Suddenly, on my way out, the branch snapped…
I fell down into the hole. I looked at Yun and thought,” See you next time Yun.”. I thought I was going to die. But suddenly, I felt a tug and I flew up and landed in the arms of a Gorilla. It was the Gorilla Chief. “Here are two of the fastest leopards in the jungle, they will bring you to the Griffin, go on and ride on them, hope you will win.” The Gorilla Chief said to Yun and I. We got on the leopards and sped off into the jungle towards the oak trees in the distance. Soon enough, we were racing across the oak trees. “We have reached sir and madam, we wish you both a safe battle, and we shall leave now.” The leopards said and took off through the trees.
We walked into the group of trees and found the Griffin. It turned around and shouted,” Shashura told me that u escaped, but now I will take care of you!” It stood up and shot a gust of wind at us and we were sent flying back. Yun drew her venom bow and sniped the Griffins left wing, and then its right wing disabling it from using its wings. I charged towards it. It tried to attack me with its beak, but I evaded it and pierced my spear in its heart. The Griffin was slayed.
Yun told the trees to thank the animals on their behalf and we took off, in search of Shashura…

The tale of T4 by MissPoppins:
Yun-Yun's Story
There was a time, when Yun-Yun was the happiest person on earth. There was peace everywhere and the most peaceful place of all was the archipelago of dreams located in the tropical seas. Living on the main island were the most beautiful butterflies, and birds. The waters around the archipelago were home to the Plesiosaurus and the main island was home to the giant turtle Ran-Ran. All animals lived peacefully together and Yun-Yun loved to visit the island and enjoy its beauties.
She sat for hours with Ran-Ran and together they watched the ripples in the water, the beauty of the sunset and the play of the animals. When the wind was silent they would sometimes catch a glimpse of the glitter of the sapphires as their reflection reached the water surface, shining as beautiful as the stars in the sky.
When time passed, Yun-Yun and Ran-Ran became best friends and they understood each other without talking. The Plesiosaurus watched their happy hours from distance. As the friendship between Yun-Yun and the turtle grew, so did the jealousy of the Plesiosaurus. Seeing their happiness he suddenly felt lonely and a boundless hatred arose in him.
One day Yun-Yun arrived on the island to find Ran-Ran lying lifeless on the beach. Shocked by the hate in the Plesiosaurus’ and the birds’ eyes, she knew what had happened at once, and her eyes filled with tears. “How can you evil Plesiosourus dare to let your envy guide you and all the other animals in such a wicked way!” Sadly she closed her eyes and did what had to be done. She sealed the poor inhabitants of the main island away to the smaller islands, jailing the Plesiosaurus on the most remote one, so that he would never reach Ran-Ran again. She used her only fruit of life to revive Ran-Ran, knowing that life on the archipelago would never be the same again.
When Ran-Ran opened his eyes, her tears were running down the cheeks. “Ran-Ran”, she said, “please, forgive me for saving your life, as it will be a life without your friends from now on. I had to seal them away for your own protection. It was selfish to revive you and give you this sad new life, only because I could not bear to loose you. One day, my destiny will take me away from here and you will be left alone for the 1000 years to come.” But Ran-Ran smiled at her and replied: “The memory of your friendship will always keep my spirits up. Don’t worry about me, and he took some soft cotton to dry up her tears. He held one of is scales up into the sun, and it was reflecting the sunlight in all its colours as beautiful as a rainbow. “Take this!” he said. “Whenever you are sad, it will remind you of our happy days.”

author: moronsnail tower: t8/t9 no. of words: 367 The revelation (written like a poem/song)
"The memories sealed into this tower belong to Yun. Oh thy warrior Protect my love…….. Survive You must fight the macabre Phantom Guardians Who escort the White Dragon, Burisarigon This merciless serpent serves Shasura as a loyal lieutenant. Be on guard, for the phantom guardians known your weaknesses Oh real Puppet Guardians be aware cause they can do you serious harm.
And for my love yun…..
Oh Yun….thy pain, for this is where you lost your life For it is where it all begun………Shasura was born… For it is a burden of your agonizing soul… Full of remorse …..For thy it is you who created Shasura … Yes my love…. …..a symbol of your sin… Shasura the demon… Your other self which you crafted touching the magic of mirror which is said to reflect the darkest part of your heart and turns it into a reality… Now he who wants to become the real you…… He who was a creature of a Mirror world….residing on it till now Has the plan to make the illusion world into the real world….our world Yun….. Your life was the first step…….
Oh my love guide me and the Puppet Guardians… Our only hope is the Fruit of life…..and to seal the Mirror portals created by Shasura a warp of time and place which will bring the demon to any destination they desire. Shasura terrified the rulers of the world by using it for assassination and mayhem. Had we not captured and sealed it, the 13 Kingdoms, allies against aggression, would have fallen. I fear that I cannot describe precisely where the mirror is hidden without putting it in jeopardy But this much you must know, that which reflects also changes shape and slumbers. It is found in a blessed land above the clouds in a clear celestial sky where no rain ever falls..
and for the demon who takes any form..shasura...
Let me end the agony of our ancestors soul who are cursed to be the Demon lords of each tower .. including my father and mother.. which is now in the seventh tower - Ridge of Chasselas as Lester and Milard..
and for myself...
Oh thy love…give me strength…to kill you….Shasura..for it is he who is you Yun.. and you who is he are one.."

Name: japangoogles1 Tower Story: Tower5 Story Told By: Yun Written in:Note form Ran-Ran My Savior
Ran-Ran... as you have known, i have used the fruit of resurrection to bring you back from you're slumber. what choice did i have? you were not only my pet, but you were my dearest friend... I would give my life for you any day Ran-Ran. Its funny, because when you awoke after i fed you the fruit of resurrection, and you awoke, there was millions of birds fluttering, cascading from the Sky's! it was like something you hear from stories, i cannot describe it my dear Ran-Ran, i believe, no! i know it was the happiest day of my life seeing you awake. I guess thats why they call the island the paradise of birds right? My times almost up Ran-Ran, soon ill have to sleep, i only hope in a thousand years, when the fruit grows back, you will be at my side when i wake. Get strong, grow and help people on there travels Ran-Ran. And in a thousand years, i know you and my followers will save me from my eternity of sleep. Ran-Ran be strong for me and remember i love you. So over the Thousand years Ran-Ran, heart driven to get strong and save yun, battled many of the birds on his island to get strong, until one day when he was strong enough, he battled the Plesiosaurus and triumphed over the swamp looking monster. Knowing he was greate enough he amassed an army of followers to storm the castle to look for the fruit of resurrection to save his loved owner yun. A day before his army storms the castle grounds, Ran-Ran was at his usual spot at the island looking over the lustrous waves and the sparkling pearls that lay beneath the sea. When all of the sudden yun appeared! except it wasn't really her... it was her ghost telling Ran-Ran he is doing the right thing and that she is so very proud of him and that she loves him to the end. to be contd....

Name:Liisa 499 words
Once upon a time there was a brave and fearless king called Org.He ruled his vast kingdom with righteousness and dignity.Org was in love with the most beautiful girl in the kingdom-Yun.The young lovers had a friend-Ran-Ran,a big turtle who was so old that pretty flowers had started to grow from his shell.Everyone lived in peace and happiness, until a tragedy happened. One dark day both Yun and Ran-Ran were kidnapped by a giant lizard-like creature.Legends said that the creature dwelled in one of the isles in the kingdom.Org was furious, and determined to save his love. Org set out on his ship and sailing from isle to isle he looked for signs of Yun and Ran-Ran.Suddenly he saw something-it looked like a rock overgrown with grass.But when he sailed closer,Org recognized Ran-Ran.He was lying motionless on the ground! Having a bad feeling,Org continued sailing,and after a while he reached a big island-bigger that the others. “This is it”-he thought and anchored the ship. He took his wand, a bag of healing herbs and set out to explore the island.It had a rather bushy vegetation, and there was not a living soul. “YUN!”-he jelled into the distance.”YUN!!” Suddenly Org heard a horrifying rumble,and a girl’s scream.He recognized Yun’s voice!Org rushed inland as fast as he could.He came to a valley where he saw the most terrifying beast-a gigantic lizard with a long neck,tail and fins!Yun was lying on the ground behind him. “Prepare to die,beast!”-Org screamed,took his wand out and rushed towards him. The balls of fire that were cast at the monster made him angry,so he slid on the ground and hit Org with his long neck. “Aaah!” Org continued to cast magic at him and went for his back,but the beast let out another squeak and hit him with his tail.Org was very injured,his shoulder started to bleed but he saw that the monster got weaker from the fire.With his last strength he cast a fiery rain that finished off the sea serpent.The ground shook as he dropped dead. Org tripped over and fell on his knees.Blood was dripping from his wound.He took out the healing herbs he brought along and put some on his bleeding shoulder.He looked towards Yun-she was still lying on the ground,and her face was buried in her hands. “Yun!Are you hurt,love?” Yun was crying. “I am sorry about Ran-Ran,Yun.Let us go.” Yun was silent as they sailed back. They reached the dead Ran-Ran. “I wish there was anything we could do for Ran-Ran.”-said Org. “But there is!”-suddenly there was a spark of hope in Yun’s eyes.She took out a small jar.There was a round golden fruit inside. “Yun…this is a rare fruit…are you sure?” “Yes Org.It is a rare fruit and now is the time to use it.” Org put his hand on her shoulders,and nodded.They went up to the dead turtle,and put the fruit inside his mouth.The fruit was swallowed and in a moment,Ran-Ran was alive!Yun and Org were ever so happy! “We will plant the seeds and grow a new tree of life together,Yun!” All three returned home safe and lived happily ever after!

Lilli Tower 6
I traveled desperately in the land called The Road of the Magical Volcano, thinking of Yun. The lovely places we visited together were replaced with what i see before me, i trembled with sadness. The purpose of this venture to the lands of this fiery magical road is to find a piece of a powerful artifact, to engrave a mural in the castle, a mural sealing the souls of 10,000 guardians, to protect the tomb of my beloved wife, Yun. The legend says that to use this magical piece for sealing, it needs to be activated with the crimson red jewel, called Ruby. It has been told that a beast who is known as the Carbuncle bears this jewel on it's head. While i searched for it, i slayed many vicious beasts, their reactions to my arrival were different from the cuddly animals i had chance to meet thanks to my beloved Yun. I slowly lost my hope of finding the bearer of the jewel or the artifact. Then, i saw two fiery creatures, In my memories i shall know them as Night Mares. they chased towards me, i went against them as well, when the creatures faced me i managed to end their lives without any regrets. I continued on my way, i saw a black creature when i passed a giant rock, it stared into me for a while, it had what i searched for, the Ruby! It was quite a shock, the creature knew i wanted to take it so it tore into me, and i fell from the back of the white lion. "i won't let you to take my jewel, leave this place!" It felt a little painful when i tried to stand up. "Carbuncle, i lost my beloved, i need it to engrave a mural to protect a castle from Shasura until a tree of life will grow". The creature kept looking at me. "This jewel makes me unique, i won't just give it to you!". I took a deep breath "I will keep your honorable jewel on you in my memories for this land". The creature closed it's eyes,"If you will keep a memory of me and my jewel, then i understand, you may take it." I could take the Ruby from it's head now, i slowly took it and the creature wandered away. When i held the ruby in my hand, i felt it's power, the beasts around me started to hide as they sensed it. I came to the end of the road, and a giant Salamander who held a spear got into my way, I did not hesitate and i rushed forward, it was difficult to fight, but i conquered it and i won the long tiring fight and i stumbled upon something that sparkled, suddenly, the tip of his flaming spear broke and i took the fragment, i realized that it is the piece of the artifact i needed, i did it at last!
(...This story is based on Romtu's assumptions for the Season 2 screenshot where there is a giant creature that looks like the Carbuncle, however, the creature doesn't have the ruby on it's head, so i decided to write a story that can explain why it shouldn't have it.)

copycat t7 number of words 496
“Sister what do we do!?”
Tes turned her gaze to her fellow priestess knowing the horror she saw in her eyes mirrored her own.
“Evacuate the others then come back to me,” Tes commanded whipping her white hair and turning her gaze to the distance as the man drew closer.
For that morning a pale duo had started to climb their mountain. First the snow people thought it was nothing, the wolves will take care of him. But the man slew all the wolves with inhuman speed, the black sword separating their skin from their flesh. The pair carried on leaving blood staining the snow with every step. Higher and higher the evil pair climbed eventually coming to the eternally frozen lakes leaving a trail of death behind them.
“Let us pray sisters, let us pray this evil away,” Tes said bowing her head hand resting gently on her necklace. The eerie prayer flowed from her lips like run off in spring dancing in the air as mist in the morning sun. The small far away specks on the lake were thrown into the water as the prayer melted the ice around them. Sisters smiled weakly at each other, power drained but glad it was over…or so they thought missing the figure emerging at the shore, out of their minds until he appeared near the village the panic quickly setting in.
“I will not let you harm my people we will not leave our home.”
Her voice strong with her wisdom only matched by her great age Tes started to sing. She sang of the tempest gale, Wolves howling at the winter moon, of hoar frost and eternal slumber. The earth hearing her song sent jagged blades at her foe time and time again yet he kept walking forward wounds healing as if they were never made. Straightening a spine that seemed to have carried the world she sang for all she was worth the winter nights, a frozen corpse the beauty of a snow blossom all went into her song.
All to protect her people, Protect her mountain. Protect her home.
Gently falling flakes swept together creating a storm like no other see, yet still the man strode on. ‘Where is Sister Claudia’ thought Tes before the screams answered and the whiff of smoke. The village was set a flame by a woman in a black gown.
“Sisters!” Tes cried hoarsely as the women wrapped them almost lovingly in her magic. The sister’s hair grew around them, nails sharpened, and horns grew from their heads transforming them into beasts stepping brought into the world for the first time. Opening her mouth to sing, the only sound to come out was a gasp. The man with the sword stepped back as Tes’s blood stained the ground as red as his cloak.
“sisters…protect our home, our people…” The final command fell on the sisters but they had neither home nor people to protect anymore thralls to the vampires now, the vampires Lester and Mirald.
(edit*** relooking over the contest rules i noticed that we were sopost to retell a tower tale of sorts. i did not do this with my story and i am sorry but thank you for reading this anyways even if it did waste your time.
this isnt the part of the entry but i thought i should explain a bit. i set my story as if there was a group of people living on the t7 mountain before the vampires made the base there and yun and org are not in it. just tes who is the "hero" died failing to protect her people)

VII - Ridge of Chasselas :by yukiTORA “Org! ...Org! ...The blizzard is getting stronger! Darling you need to rest, we need to find shelter, we can’t keep on like this we’ll freeze to death!” Yun cries in distress. The never-ending ice fiercely bites the flesh wound of Org, the wound from a triumphant kill of the Winter Wolf to merely survive in his fur to keep Yun and himself warm. Org was determined, determined to the core of his bones to capture the Magic Mirror at all costs. He thought to himself ‘Even the once magnificent and affectionate unicorn is now under Shashura’s Spell of evil, how could he do this to the pure creatures of our lands…’ “Org Darling Please!” Yun wailed, “You’re hurt badly and even if we do get the Mirror you wont make it back!” Org stops his tracks and snaps back to reality, Yun’s voice becoming clear. He turns around and stares at his wife’s flustered face in worry, seeing her makes him feel overwhelmed in love and warmth. He smiles at her, waving his arms for her to come closer. Yun sees the twinkles in his eyes and sees he has recovered from the deep worried trance, ‘He always thinks for others and never takes care of himself, what will he do without me!’ she thinks while chuckling to herself as she trots towards him. Org winces in pain when he tries to hug her but looks away to hide it “I think there is a cave up ahead, are you alright?” yells, as the blizzard is too strong muffling his words. Yun stares at her husband's face all covered in frost “Yes that would be a good idea.” Org treads the snow in front of Yun to check for any loose snow edges and points to where the cave is “Look Yun we are near…Yun?” He turns around to see Yun’s eyes wide open, frightened with her mouth covered by a male Vampires hand, he rips her hood and scarf off and bares his fangs at her neck. “YUN! Get your hands off her!!” Org screams with his voice hoarse from the cold air. Then a woman Vampire comes from behind the male grinning deviously, so cunning and full of wicked and cold heartless intentions, no doubt that they are another of Shashura’s minions… but these two are different, these two are extremely deadly. “I see you are searching for the Magic Mirror, as to think you even dream of using the Mirror, you …just a mere human... how dare you even come here! As if we would ever hand the mirror to you, our lord Shashura is who deserves such power” Mirald sneers, “Lester take her back to Shashura, I’ll deal with this fool.” “Give her back!! How dare you touch my wife! I’m going to find the Mirror and I’m going to kill you!” Org screams, charging at Mirald and drawing out his silver sword, “YUN!!” his cries of despair unable to reach her...
