I applaud you, Morgaln. :3 That was an AMAZING story, and.. Truth be told, that explains the colors in a better way than I ever could. It's beautiful, I can't think of any reason why it should not be used on here.

..And now I have an urge to draw them. *Sigh*. XD

Amazing story! I'm glad I actually took the time to go and read it. ^.^ However, I think i noticed a grammatical error

Long Tolano dived, watching the water around him grow darker and darker, until his eyes couldn't perceive any light at all.

I think it should be 'dove', not dived. It just doesn't quite sound right with the way you have it. Otherwise the story is wonderful. Great idea and good luck!

Ashamaly, it's not a grammatical error, but a stylistic one. Both dove and dived, are correct, but dove suits the story better. I thought I had used it everywhere, but one slipped past me, obviously.

Rijolt, I am very happy you of all people like the story :t-glomp: . The Leviathans are my favorite creatures here and their coloration have a lot to do with it. But you did explain the colors, when you told us how you decided on the names; I just took that and made a story out of it ^_^ . So in a way, it is your story as well as mine.
I would feel very honored if you would draw Ashante and the others, but don't feel compelled to do so.

:t-X3: But making up the names was the easy part, you had the difficult job of translating it into the story.

Well, now I do feel obliged to draw them for you. XD Aldo, I did find another typo. o.o
Morobe announced. "I will go to the Green Sea and make my living there." Seeing that his mind was firm, the others agreed and said good bye to him. Morobe made his way through the island labyrinth, and as he entered the Green See, his body had taken on a green color with yellow webbings, perfect to hide in the patches of sea grass.
Green Sea*? X3

You really don't have to draw them, unless you want to yourself. Oh and thanks for pointing out the typo. You want to have it? I don't need it anymore :P .

Fantastic story! Don't worry about it being to long - it's exactly long enough to tell the tale well. :t-dance:
