Here it is!

Long ago, terror ruled the land of the elementals. The reason of this was known by all, yet never spoken of. The great god Zanzarino had gone into hiding when his creation turned against him. He had created a new series of the magic-controlled decks. He called the first one nothing other than “Destroyer.” Destroyer had a different deck strategy every time an elemental played him. They all had one thing in common, though. They wielded only one weapon. Pulverizer. He enjoyed smashing the lower magic decks to pieces with his great weapon. All of the elementals cowered before the Pulverizer. One very dark and rainy night, a young hero was testing a deck with the new creature, found in the star of Pegasi when the star exploded, spreading quanta everywhere. The creature was named Crusader.  After that, there was a knock at his door. There stood his father with despair in his eyes. His father asked him to meet the mayor of the village in the mayor’s home. When he got there, the mayor told him grave news. His sister had been killed by Destroyer’s Pulverizer. He was furious with Destroyer for just throwing away lives in the manor he did. The hero had one thing on his mind: revenge. The mayor warned him not to go try to fight Destroyer, but the effort was in vain. The hero stormed out of the house and went to his small hut. He grabbed his cards he was experimenting with and put them in his bag. For days, the hero ran. He ran all the way from the Kingdom of Light to the Planes of Aether. When he got to Aether’s capital city, the hero snuck through dark allies and walked casually to the Town Square. There, on exhibit, was the legendary Portal of Aether. This portal could take you anywhere on the planes of the elementals. The hero made a dash for the portal and went past the Phase Spiders guarding the portal. He jumped into the portal and went to the Seventh Plane. He wondered in this shattered world for months. One night, while the hero was sleeping, Destroyer came back from the Fifth Plane laughing at all the Half Bloods he had crushed. Destroyer found the hero and was pleasantly surprised by the hero’s presence. Something in the hero looked familiar. He had seen those bright green eyes somewhere. He realized it at once. The young girl he had swung his Pulverizer at. He let out a demonized laugh and the hero awoke. The young hero screamed in rage and threw 6 slips of paper out of his bag. All of the paper turned into armored figures that had a shield shaped like a four pointed star and they were wielding Pulverizers. The hero yelled for them to demolish Destroyer’s Pulverizer. The Crusaders swung their Pulverizers but they missed. Destroyer laughed and swung his weapon at the hero. The hero was crushed.

I reserve owl's eye/ eagle's eye.

and here it is:
              Once, many centuries ago, Artemis was traveling with her enchanted hunters. They came upon an old merchant, who offered them a place to stay for the night. Artemis, being as polite as she is, kindly accepted the offer. Soon after they settled in, the old merchant started to tell stories of his travels. He came upon a story about his travels through a mountainous land. He told of fighting a large wolf and becoming injured. The wolf had bitten part of his arm off, and he was bleeding badly. He soon managed to kill the wolf, but barely escaped with his life.  As he came to the next mountain, the tallest of them all, he knew that if he ran into another animal, he would be killed. As he reached the peak, he noticed an odd bow frozen in the ice. He grabbed his ax and began to hack into the ice to obtain the weapon. After many hours of work, he managed to get to the bow. It was an odd blue color, but he knew it was powerful. As he pulled the bow from the ice, his arm was immediately healed. As he turned around from the ice to begin his journey down the mountain, he found a large bear standing before him. Much larger than the previous one he fought. Before he knew what he was doing, he pulled out the bow, notched an arrow, and killed the bear. He realized that in a time of need the bow would fight for him. Artemis was very intrigued by this story, and asked if he still had the bow. The merchant went into his tent and came out with a large, glowing, blue bow in his hands. His face was distorted and he had an evil look in his eyes. He slowly drew the bow and pointed it at Artemis. But he was too late, the goddess had known the power in the bow the moment she saw it. The bow was much too powerful for any human or god to wield. By the time the man had time to pull back the string; she was behind him and pulled the bow from his arms. She put the bow into an enchanted bag and carried it with her. She knew of this mountainous land that the old man had spoken of. After many months of traveling, the came upon the large mountain. The goddess left her hunters at the foot of the mountain and began the dangerous climb. As she reached the peak, she could feel the power humming in the air. As the placed the bow back into the ice, she realized how it had come into existence. There was, something, traveling throughout the world and gifting amazing places with the power to create weapons that signify them. This weapon represented air. And she knew that there were others, and she must find them. If the weapons fell in the wrong hands, it could be the end of the world as we know it; supposed gods could form and use the weapons to destroy heroes of battle. She set out to search for them, but they were never found. She never discovered the weapons, but she always knew they were in existence.  Eventually, after years of traveling and searching for the other powerful weapons, she returned to the site of the bow. What she found their will haunt her forever. The bow, the all-powerful bow, was gone. Someone, somewhere, was using the bow for something. She never found the bow again, but always knew it was being used for battle. Do you know where it is?

I'll go for the Earth Nymph.


She was one of three sisters, child of Phorcys and Ceto and a merciless murderer of thousands innocent citizens.
Her gaze alone was enough to turn one to stone for eternity.
So she was feared all over the land, and wherever she went people would scream "It's Medusa! She's coming!" and run for their lives. But it was futile. Whole cities became extinct of life, only leaving statues of those gazed upon.

In the end, it wasn't her evilness that lead to her doom but her own strength. Because of her strength Zanzeus the half god wanted her head as a trophy. It was a furious battle, but thanks to his Reflective Shield and Lobomizer Zanzeus was able to take Medusa's head.
After Medusa was killed, all her victims were revived. But where the male ones were able to return to their old lives, the female inherited a small part of Medusa's power and lost all their memories.
They were feared for anyone looking in their eyes would turn to stone for a year. Hunted and Banished they run and hid in a deep cave praying and wishing to be saved.
Antagon heard their wishes, so he sealed their power and returned the memories. Thanking Antagon for his generousity they were able to return to their normal live.

Thousands of years have passed and very strong mages were searching for ways to unlock this power and gain an advantage in the ever lasting battle of elements.
Finally Terroking, the master of earth, was able to achieve the impossible! He broke the spell Antagon cast thousands of years ago. By synthesizing the blood of the offsprings of Medusa's female victims with the stones of a golem who was killed by the breath of a phoenix, he created a creature able to use Medusa's power.
Those creatures are called Auburn Nymphs./*

My story on the black nymph:


There was a time when nymphs were unknown, they were rumored to exist but had never been found, until at one day Zanzarino met the Oracle. He seemed to posses a knowledge beyond all our understanding and foretold Zanzarino of a meeting with a nymph that day. Zanzarino knew nothing of nymphs and was curious, to say the least.

Following the directions of the Oracle Zanzarino entered a dark, forsaken place, it was a fearful place, with eyes glaring at him from everywhere, or so it seemed. Yet Zanzarino went deeper into the darkness, somehow he was allured by it, an irresistible attraction from out of the heart of this darkness. Zanzarino stopped walking as he suddenly noticed his march was slowed, he had entered a bog, the water felt oddly, it seemed to grant immense powers while slowly draining away your soul.

Enticed by this power Zanzarino entered the pool, when suddenly he could see a mysterious light from somewhere from the lake, it seemed to be black light, the sight of it was amazing. As Zanzarino swam closer, he saw what the Oracle meant, this was a nymph, in all it's dazzling beauty...

Suddenly Zanzarino wakes up in his house, but with no memory of how he got there but still senses a remnant of the power Zanzarino remembered at the lake. Puzzled by this mystery Zanzarino met with the Oracle once again, hoping for answers. But rather than answers the Oracle presented more mysteries, which is how Zanzarino encountered the rest of the nymphs, yet none ever appealed him as much as the black nymph...


Hope you like it, see if you can find all references in the story :)
I decided to go with slightly over 250 because I hate walls of text...

Arg!  Seriously, 4 minutes.   :(

So, if I'm reading the rules correctly, I can still write about Arsenic, but I have to include one or more other cards in the backstory as context, perhaps?

Not exactly. You have to write about 2 or more cards, and they have to be the main focus of the story. You can't just write about Arsenic and then just mention another cards once or twice. Your story has to revolve around the cards you use.

Two things

First - NINJA'D!

Second - So I can add Jade Staff in my story, not giving any ideas from where it came from, but I can insert it in there? From my point, it'll play a small part, not so big, but I want to put it in as it is the opposite element of Arsenic.

I'm not sure I follow. You want to Include Jade Staff and Arsenic in a story, but Jade Staff will only play a small part? Yeah, that won't work so much because it will have a small part. The story has to revolve around the cards you include if you plan to do multiple cards. Since Arsenic was reserved already, you can do Arsenic, but you need at least one more card in your story that plays a big part. Here is an example:

Air Nymph was one of the most feared nymphs for her unstable gas. It would cuase such intense damage. But one day she decided she wasn't powerful enough. She was already reliant on fire quanta to activate her unstable gases, so she created Fahrenheit, a mighty weapon that attacks based on how much fire she had. Fahrenheit soon become more fearsome than the Air Nymph and she grew jealous of her creation! She banished Fahrenheit away to an ancient Volcano where the Fire Elementals found it. The End.

Both Air Nymph and Fahrenheit played a large part in that tiny story, and your story has to be similar in the importance on each card you include.

I hope this helps :) If not feel free to keep asking questions.

Yes. As long as they don't play an important part, you can use them and still keep your reservation.
