Chapter 34: Sunset
Part 3/3
“Soooo,” Paige said with a devilish grin, “I see that look on your face, that tone in your voice. You like Samuel, don’t you little valedictorian?”
“How’d you-”
“Shhh, it’s okay, I won’t judge,” Paige reassured her. She closed her eyes and crossed her arms, grinning like a maniac, “Ah, moving on since Bori?”
“Bori- Borealis is… he’s passed on already,” Aurora replied with a frown. She glanced at the heart locket slung around her neck. She grasped it softly and ripped it away, putting it in her pocket, “He would want me to move on.”
Paige smirks, looking Aurora up and down before looking away.
“You know maybe you aren’t such a brat. All girls fall in love eventually.”
“What do you even mean by that?”
“Well, not just girls, boys too,” Paige replied, “I thought you were a weirdo who wouldn’t like anyone after Borealis. Basically, all of us fall in love. Whether we like it or not. And we can’t do anything about it.”
“That’s it?” Aurora said, “I thought it’s deeper than that.”
“It is deep,” Paige replied, “We as humans survive because of love. Without it we aren’t anything. That’s why.”
“So do YOU love anyone?” Aurora teased. Paige smirked.
“Very funny. No. I do not. Not now. But I know I will,” Paige said, “Who knows how long it takes. Maybe in a few days. Maybe weeks. Years. Decades. End of my life. That’s our fate. So I’ll embrace it with open arms.”
Just then, they heard a snap.
“Oh, hey, looking for me?” a familiar voice asked. They looked to the right to see Sunny leaning her back against a tree, her orange hair flowing softly down her chest.
“Sunny! What are you doing just sitting here? Are you hurt?” Paige asked with a glare.
“No, not hurt,” Sunny replied, “Just wanted to appreciate the sunset.”
She pointed at it, and the two girls looked at it in awe. It exploded in a vibrant cast of red and orange and yellow. It was so beautiful.
“Well, it is pretty nice,” Aurora said as the sun dipped below the horizon.

Chapter 34: Sunset
Part 1/3
“I’m really sorry,” Skyler apologized to Rick for like the hundredth time.
By now Skyler had finally seemed to realize the weight of her actions and had maken up for it with a hundred apologizes to Rick.
“Really, it’s okay,” Rick reassured her, “It was a moment of tension. There’s no way you could’ve done anything to stop it.”
Samuel was leaning against the weird metal beam in the middle of the metal platform.
“I have to capitalize on this,” Samuel thought. Then he spoke up.
“Skyler,” Samuel said, “From what we’ve seen, I think it’s safe to say this obelisk is not here to empower us, but to endanger us. Clearly that was the case with the grenade.”
“Mmm, he’s not wrong,” Neddy commented, “You think that came from the obelisk?”
“Yes. I am sure it did,” Samuel replied, “Just remember that even if the obelisks could give its power to us, it may not have a reason to. There’s good reason to believe that this place was designed.”
“Designed?” Paige asked with a raised eyebrow. A bead of sweat dripped from Rick’s face.
“What… Do you mean by that?” Rick asked.
“Well just look at the implants in our wrists,” Samuel said, putting emphasis on our, “Where could they have come from? And I’m sure you’ve all received that message, the one before the obelisks rose from the soil. The one that claims strength comes from the death of others.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“So, why not the obelisk go against us? Why give us its power?” Samuel asked, “I still believe your book is trustworthy, Skyler, don’t worry. It’s just that gaining its power may not be so easy. That’s why we NEED to find Tiffany, and find the original book. Maybe they’re connected in some way.”
“I agree with him,” Aurora interjected, “We just need more information about these obelisks, you know? I am totally onboard with the idea. We need to find Tiffany.”
Skyler sighed for a moment, thinking about what to say next, before nodding yes.
“Okay. We’ll go find her.”
Samuel smiled.
“Great. I’m glad we reached a compromise,” Samuel added on. He turned to the others, “What about the rest of you?”
“Of course,” Neddy answered.
“Sounds like a good plan, I guess,” Ruby said.
“Sure.”
Everyone had decided to go with Samuel’s plan.
“Wait, hold on,” Rick said, “Sunny hasn’t come back yet and it’s been a while.”
“Uh oh,” Skyler said, her face turning dark, “That’s- not good.”
“Should we go find her?” Paige asked.
“Of course!” Samuel replied, “We need to, we can’t leave anyone behind. Let’s split up into pairs and spread out. And by an hour past nightfall we shall come back here and regroup next to the entrance of the obelisk.”
“Pairs?” Aurora asked, her head jolting to Samuel, “Samuel-”
“I’ll be going with Rick, if that’s fine with him,” Samuel said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Rick jolted up, and took a glance at Skyler. He turned to Samuel and nodded.
“Yeah, not a problem.”
“Of course I’ll be going with Ruby,” Neddy said.
“Girl, I think you’re lacking a partner,” Paige said with a sly smile, “Why don’t we pair up?”
“And what about me? Should I just-” Skyler was interrupted by Samuel.
“Skyler, I believe you should stay behind and recollect your thoughts. You look like a mess.”
“But I-”
“Listen to the man, Skyler,” Paige sneered, “We don’t want another accident happening.”
Skyler looked solemn, but ultimately agreed.
“Okay. I’ll see you guys soon.”
Everyone walked off in their groups to find Sunny.

Chapter 34: Sunset
Part 2/3
Samuel was walking by Rick’s right, who had put his book away and was merely taking in the sunset. He had his hands in his pockets and was whistling a sort of tune.
“So, where should we look? By the rivers?” Rick finally asked.
“Hmm, I’m thinking we follow the dinosaur’s path. We’re bound to find her that way,” Samuel suggested.
“I like that plan. Let’s go.”
The two walk off, the mood serene and the environment quiet. Somehow on this island filled with bloodthirsty dinosaurs, it all felt like heaven. Over heaven, even.
“So. I know this is a weird question to ask but-” Rick questioned, “You never look worried. Like. Never. It’s like you know what you’re doing here. In a way.”
“I know what I’m doing?” Samuel chuckled, “Trust me, I don’t.”
“Well it seems plausible. There’s books out there.”
“I don’t read.”
“Really? You seem like the type of person to read.”
Again, it was quiet. Rick looked off into the forest and saw a family of Triceratops wandering. He sighed at the thought.
“I’m worried. For my family. How would they- how would they feel? Now that I’m missing? I really hope they don’t do anything crazy. But I’m more worried about my older brother,” Rick said, “Calem is- he doesn’t deserve to go through that.”
“I understand that feeling. You worry about the people back home, right?” Samuel said. Rick nodded.
“Well you don’t have to worry, Rick,” Samuel said. He pondered on whether he should tell him his plan. His plan to escape the island.
He decided against it.
“They’re going to get us out of here soon. I know they will. The police will notice that all of us went missing, and send a search party out to find us.”
Rick smiled.
“Thanks. I shouldn’t worry, you’re right. That’ll just get in the way of things and- worrying is for my family.”
Rick turned to Samuel.
“What about you? You worry about your family?”
Samuel shrugged.
“Not really. My mom- my mom is nice. But she had always been busy with work. Ever since I was a little kid. And my dad…”
Samuel paused, looking off into the distance with clenched fists.
“He’s… gone.”
“I’m sorry…” Rick softly said.
“Not in that way. But you know what I mean,” Samuel replied.
“Any siblings? Or are you an only child?”
Samuel paused again.
“Only child,” he dryly replied.
The conversation halted once more. Rick sensed Samuel’s unease and decided to change the topic.
“I know what you’re thinking about Skyler’s little story prophecy. I don’t believe in it either. I think Dodo Tales is the true story we should be looking for. Not The Obelisk,” Rick said. He looked off, “I know you know. That I know about that book. I’ve read it before. And I’ve memorized every single word.”
Samuel looked at Rick with wide eyes.
“You have?”
“Well, not exactly,” Rick replied, “I’ve only read the first half of the book. With my implant power.”
Rick pointed at the implant, which glowed a little.
“But, it seems legitimate. And you know what? Maybe Skyler is right about one thing.”
“And what would it be?”
“That there is a destined hero. And that hero is you. The main character of that book had a pet dodo who stuck with him since the beginning, and the two of them along with his friends managed to defeat the one controlling it all and find a way out. YOU are the key to us getting out of here. Nothing else is,” Rick said with a smile.
“Huh,” Samuel replied as the sun began to dip down the horizon.
Don’t even think about hitting it. Just don’t. If you accidentally hit it, just swim away as fast as you can. I was out hunting for ammonites (I didn’t know what they did back then) on my basilosaurus. I saw one and hit it. I watched in horror as the whole ocean came swimming at me. I swam back to the surface, only to realise, a Tutsi was chasing me. It knocked me off my basilo and it tried to kill it. Luckily I had scuba gear. I got the gear on, whistled passive and put it to follow. The stupid tuso chased me around the whole map and now it is right next to my base. My basilo is stuck on the other side of the island. All because I hit an ammonite.
I saw one of these guys in the ocean floor while riding my ichthy and I was like "ya know I wanna see the ocean go mad and i attacked the ammonite..Then i swimmed to the surface with my ichthy and i see armies of mantas megalodons basilos cnidarias and even a leedsichythis wanted to kill me.I went to the surface and saw pteranodons and pelagornise's trying to kill me and my ichthy.After that the rage thing was over and everything wasn't angy and I was like "let's do that again with a basilosaurus!!!!!!"I mounted on my basilo and attacked the ammonite in the ocean floor went up to the surface and wow.Everything came to kill me and my basilo it was crazy!!! I even saw a mosa coming into the fight. Good thing my basilo was strong enough to kill them all.Soo many xp anyways that's all bye🤣

“Humans?” Ron said “I thought they went extinct.” “they are now, they went extinct because of the dragon, duhh.” Caesar said. “Oh, that makes sense, I guess” Ron said. Caesar gestured to a corner and said, “well anyway if your hungry help yourself to those ber-” he was cut off, by the sound of Ron munching berries. “Mmm MMM good berries!” Ron said with a mouthful “yes I only choose the best be-“ Ron interrupted again “how did the humans make a dragon?” Caesar sighed, “ it’s a long story..” “I love long stories!” Said Ron. Caesar sighed again “ok fine I tell you, a long time ago well a couple weeks ago.. the human tribe of Olympus went to the red obelisk an-“ “what’s an obe-licks?” “That floating red thing in the sky, seriously where you born yesterday?!” “No… i just never knew what those were called commander..” he said. “anyway..” Caesar said. “they went there after going to the other obelisks and defeating the guardians within them.” “what were the other beasts?” Ron said “ a gigantopithicus and an oraneo, big ones, and stop interrupting!” Caesar said. “Sorry.” said Ron “okay back to the story, they went to the red obelisk and opened the portal.” “what’s a por-“ “don’t..” said Caesar “oh right, sorry sir.” Ron said “they opened the portal and it transported them to a volcanic wasteland, and there it was.. the d-“ “dodorex?” Said Ron “What?!? No! what’s a dodor- nevermind, and seriously stop INTERRUPTING!” Caesar said angrily “it was the dRAGONS lair, he destroyed their entire army, even their giganotosauruses where no match, their leader on his carchardontosaurus tried a risky move to get the upper hand, by spinning his mount in a circle, but the dragon was too quick, it grabbed the carchars tail and flew up, and up, higher, and higher, then dropped it, the carchar fell with a last roar, and landed on its back, crushing king drake. without the majority of their army, and their leader gone, they where no match.. and the dragon used king drakes relic spear to reopen the portal, and now the dragon is here, in pandora..” Caesar said. “how do you know what happened?” Ron said “I was there.” he answered “how did you survive?” “I hid and waited, when the dragon opened the portal I ran for it. I’m lucky to be alive, but we’re all dead soon anyway” he said solemnly “how so? Pandora has had crazy apex predators before right? what’s new about the dragon?” Ron said “when I was escaping the fire realm I heard the dragon say something about making this island burn bright, and making a new world from the ashes, a world he could lead, or some crazy psycho thing like that..” “oh I see..,” Ron said “we can stop him!” “Hah!” Caesar said “how do you plan on doing that when even the strongest army on Pandora couldn’t” “when I was young I was taught about war tactics and stuff.” said Ron “and I know some things, like the dragon won because he was at his home, this is ours” he said “hmm I guess that’s true but it’s still a dragon.” said Caesar “I also know, that you must know your enemy, so we stalk the dragon, learn it’s weaknesses, put it out of its element, and slay it!” Ron said “hmm I guess it’s worth a shot, better than dying for no reason,” caesar said “but if we’re going to do something crazy like this we’re gonna need some help.”

Chapter two.
Aragorn and Aaron shook hands. “Nice to meet you.” Aragorn said stiffly. If Aaron noticed he ignored it. “Pleasure! I just wanted to…welcome you to the town!” He said rather loudly. “Since y’all are new and all!” Aaron explained. Jay and Jack exchanged curious looks with each other. “Let me help carry that box!” Aaron exclaimed taking a box from Jay. Before Aragorn,Jay or Jack could protest,Aaron had sauntered off to their house to put the box inside. Jay and Jack shot confused looks at their father. Aragorn shrugged then he motioned for them to help take the last few boxes inside. When they got to the house with them Aaron stood there holding the door open for them with Arianna and Emma standing behind him looking confused at Aaron’s presence. As soon as they walked in Aaron shut the door. They set the boxes down and turned to Aaron. His face had turned serious. “What is going on?” Arianna asked Aaron. Aaron held up his hand. “Before we talk, let’s close the windows. They pulled the blinds down around the house until Aaron was satisfied.
They sat down in the living room/dining room. “Thank you for your patience.” Aaron said running his hand through his hair, which revealed more grey hair. “I’m guessing you aren’t welcoming us.” Aragorn said. “No, Im not. And I’m sorry for being so secretive, the fact is that in THIS town it’s best to be secretive.” Aaron said lowering his voice. “Listen, the mayors specifically tell our citizens NOT to tell newcomers (like yourselves) about the night protocols. Right now it’s…” Aaron looked at his watch. “… seven o clock, and once it’s eight o clock you HAVE TO STAY in your houses until the bell rings. Lights out is at nine thirty. If you don’t follow theses protocols punishments WILL follow.” Aaron said. “What kind of punishments?” Emma asked. “Did you see the execution and hanging stands?” Aaron asked. They all nodded. “Ever wonder what those are used for?” Aaron said.
*Sigh* Whew, that was a LOT of words. Hope y’all are enjoying. (The first prologue was in achatina.)

Dodo tales (s1 ep3) thank you for the support 😀 BTW I am -NOT- the same person as the guy making journey to the Aberration trench.
The other creatures ran off one by one, and he heard a voice say "those Raptors almost killed you, you're lucky to be alive" then he realized that his bird was gone. He immediately ask his savior if he had seen it. His answer was exactly what he hoped it wouldn't be. "As good as dead, they took it. Don't worry though, it was just a Dodo."
"A Dodo?"
"Yeah, it's total garbage, maybe it's better off dead"
"Are you gonna kill me?"
"Dude, you can't even take care of a Dodo, you're not exactly a threat. Follow me, I'll show you my house." He decided to come with him
On the way he asked "what's your name? Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
"I'll tell my name after I get to know you.
And yes, there is something you can do for me......." he replied
