Sorry for the really long wait for this chapter l got sidetracked with some IRL stuff. Anyway here is:

What lies above: chapter 1 (please read prologue first)

Cavern glider the rock Drake was gliding though the red zone looking for a nameless to kill. She was very excited, her first egg was due to hatch any day now. She snapped herself back to reality and looked around, she saw ordinary red zone things: a seeker, some aberrant dinos, a raveger flying though the air... Wait what? She glided down for a closer look, the raveger was sliding down a thin Zipline with a human on it's back, and it was heading straight for the eggs! She had to stop it. She glided down to try to intercept it but she was to late. The raveger stopped at a small cliff Right underneath the nook where her egg was. The human dismounted and began to climb up to the nook. Cavern glider dashed forward onto the Wall just below the human, the human climbed into the nook followed by cavern glider. When cavern glider reached the nook she saw the human holding her egg! With a cry of rage she lunged at dawn (the human) but dawn dodged out of the way and slid by her out of the nook and jumped off onto the clif... And landed flat on her face, but it didn't slow her down at all. She got up and hopped onto her ravager and it grabbed onto the Zipline. Cavern glider let out a loud call letting the rest of the Rock drakes know about the theft, before jumping out of the nook and after dawn.

Dawn's raveger climbed away along the Zipline as the entire colony of rock Drakes gave chase.

Will cavern glider get her egg back? Will dawn escape? Will ravegers ever learn how to fly? Find out next time on what lies above!
