ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Chapt. 1 of The Red Rockdrake, Lost
Mikaa wandered through Aberration when a sudden rumbling came. She donned her cracked, stone sword, and braced to fight whatever came.
Mikaa hugged her jerboa, Tiger, as the beast revealed itself, a giant, black, green and red basilisk! It hissed and spat its acid saliva at Mikaa, Mikaa quickly dodged and leaped at the creature with her sword, impaling its neck. Tiger leaped at the basilisk, mainly because his companion was being attacked by it. She then, with one fell swoop, chopped off its head, blood pooling onto the ground.
"What a day," Mikaa sighed, "now let's try to find a place to make camp." Her jerboa nodded as if it understood her and hopped back onto her shoulder and rid its fur of the mass blood.
Mikaa stumbled over rocks to arrive at a large canyon or trench with holes in the walls? Mikaa then heard a loud roar, but nothing was there, Tiger started to tap at Mikaa's chitin armour and squeak nervously, as if something was wrong.
"What is it, Tiger?" Mikaa asked, completely oblivious that Tiger was trying to tell her that there were rockdrakes here. Then, that fact is proven true by a gray-scaled and yellow-feathered rockdrake pouncing at her, snarling. Mikaa shook, thinking this would be the last time she saw the bioluminessense of the cave, when another, slightly larger rockdrake with yellow-orange scales and bright red and blue feathers, leaped at the gray-scaled rockdrake, tearing into its flesh.
Mikaa, not wasting a minute, grasped her jerboa that was knocked off her shoulder by the two rockdrakes, and ran away. She was a bit confused, why did that red rockdrake save her? Why would a creature that normally works together rebel against its own kind? Well, whatever got into that red drake was not natural, that's all that Mikaa knew...
