Looks like everything is reserved.

Might want to make an announcement of this, Kami.
To my knowledge, Gravity Nymph is still open. And as RootRanger said, you do not need to have a reservation to write a story. You just must include at least 2 rare nymphs/weapons as major parts of the story.

Here's my story.  Good luck everyone!

Story Title: From The 13 Chronicles of the Oracle: Chapter 7 The Origin of the Nymphs and the Rise of Scorpio
Cards used : Nymph Queen,Arsenic, Poseidon, Druid's Staff
Other charecters: The Oracle, Scorpio (False God)
Words: 663
Author: Zblader
Before the Oracle became the mysterious, obese soothsayer he is today, he was a very thin orphan who had always failed at being an elemental.  He was always at the bottom of the chosen groups, and his decks were always defeated because he could not get the electrum to buy powerful enough summoning cards.  He had only one friend, a Water Elemental, Kia, who was supposedly the strongest elemental in the chosen groups for 5 years.  Although this earned the respect of many, this also caused her to gain many enemies, especially Scorpio, an Elemental Adept of water, poison, and earth*.  Scorpio's hate was so strong that he tried to infuse his hate into a pair of short swords to prevent him from hurting anyone, but in process, his respect for Kia also broke off and infused itself into one of the swords. One sword transformed  into a dark weapon, splitting it's blade in half and began to drip with a deadly venom, while the other lengthened and created three ice crystals on itself like a crown.  Scorpio decided to dub the poisonous blade the Arsenic, while the pure staff he dubbed the Poseidon.  Soon after, he issued a challenge to Kia.

When the elemental battle commenced, everyone including Kia was shocked by the immense strength of the Poseidon, who conjured massive waves to wreck pillars, while the Arsenic simply needed a stab here and there to inflict just as lethal poison.  Her Puffer Fishes stuck in the Realm of Summoning** and her own blood becoming poisoned, Kia began to falter- and suddenly fell, lifeless.  The immense power of the two legendary weapons combined had overwhelmed her body.  The Life elementals tried to use their Druid's Staffs, but even that would not revive her.  Having lost his only friend, the Oracle cried, and the teardrops landed on a small piece of water pillar as well as Kia's body.

Suddenly, a rush of water surrounded Kia's body, and she slowly stood, and then floated, thus giving birth to the first Nymph Queen.  Out of her gratitude for the Oracle saving her, she transferred a small amount of power from herself to him, and from the Oracle's imagination formed the essences that would eventually become the very first nymphs to be summoned in battle by the Oracle himself.

The three students went their separate ways.   Scorpio, ashamed of himself even though Kia forgave him, began to travel the lands and learn more about the elements.  His mastery was so powerful that he was chosen to become the 8th of the False Gods, who welcomed him with open arms, as well as a reward in learning how to use the power of immortality, Aether, at the cost of his Mark of the Earth.  It is said one with the right power will encounter him on the night when it rains on the full moon.

The Oracle, realising the power of the Nymphs, as well as the ascending power of the False Gods, began to travel as well. During his travels, he also entered a lot of eating competitions, causing his figure to become very round.  However he also saw the cultures formed by the creatures of the elements, and by using the memories of the many cultures he had seen and friend he had made, he created the nymphs, creature who could use spells as if they were elementals themselves.  They were not very strong physically, but they were not meant to be - their power had come from the unification of those with little power and strong dreams.
It is said that a lucky elemental that meets the Oracle will get the power to call upon one of these nymphs, as well as obtain other predictions of the future and other trinkets. 

Kia was never seen again, but legend has it that she travels alongside the Oracle as a spirit guide, and is only called upon when the Oracle faces an enemy rivaling his power.

* I made Scorpio use Earth instead of Aether because I felt it would go better with the creation of Poseidon.
**Realm of Summoning means the players hand.

2. All submissions must be between 250 and 1000 words. Novels are lovely, but a casual reader has to be able to connect to the story. Longer stories may result in a tl;dr(too long; didn't read) and overlooked.
What if you're satisfied with your story, but it only has 175 words? That's still decently long to tell a story/legend.

It has to be a minimum of 250 words. Any less, or any more than 1000 words and it won't be accepted.

This is my story entry. its 360 words long. (just so u no) :)

So this is the story....
Long ago the Gods ruled the universe but they soon became bored with controlling everything so they created a being called a Nymph. The first one they created they called “The Queen Nymph” and from her created the others. As a keep safe they put a powerful spell on them cast from the sword Lobotomizer which meant they couldn’t use their powers without the Gods permission.
For a while the Gods watched as these supernatural beings messed around with the world creating faster, stronger beings and also destroying those they did not like. This continued for a while but then the Dark Nymph started spreading its poison within the nymphs until they turned on their creators, the Gods, and took the sword Lobotomizer and restored all their powers until they could do whatever they wanted.
Seeing this the Gods decided it was time to destroy them so they created weapon’s which’s likeliness had never been seen before. These weapons were called Owl’s eye, Arsenic and Eternity. Using these they wiped out all the Nymphs but one. The Queen Nymph survived and hid from the Gods recreating the others in her own likeliness this time. They waited till the time was right before striking the Gods a brutal blow and stealing their weapons. Now the King of the Gods had previously remained out of all this but seeing what power the Nymphs had, he made pillars to control how much power they could use at one time and then he created weapons to control these pillars so that no matter what these Nymphs did they would be reliable on the Gods for their powers.
Doing this created fractions between the Nymphs as each relied on a different pillar for their power. Soon they were waging war against each other until eventually they disappeared to the far reaches of the planet. The only thing that remained of these beings for us to find were Queen Nymphs tears as she cried at the restfulness between her children. Now days these beings and the weapons that they stole can only be found by the most powerful beings, and those that can vanquish those beings.
