The Obelisk
-Chapter 7-
Last one was in ankylo and others before it in tamables alphabeticaly.
Woah.
The first thing Forest could see was only light—bright light, white and gold and stinging at his eyes like a billion glow worms encircling him.
But then his eyes adjusted, and as cool air whistled by him, slowly giant plants taller than himself followed, and small black birds flew passed his snout.
It’s beautiful out here.
Forest stood up on his talons, digging his claws into the grass. Holy mother of Araneos. He thought, glancing down at the dirt on his claws. Dirt! Grass! So much GREEN oh my gosh is that a pteranodon? Are these how big trees can get? And Is that a WORM WHAT THE HECK—“Ack!” He leapt back onto the nearest boulder away from the slimy wiggling thing.
A nearby moschops squinted skeptically at him, then continued digging up roots nearby. She paused, her snout half in a bush, and then huffed and walked away. “Sorry,” he called. “Was I loud? Am I not supposed to be loud?” Goodness i’m being loud now shut up Forest. He sat on the boulder and stared at the ground for a while.
Now what? He curled his tail around talons, thinking. I have to find other creatures… but the basilisk only said their names! Am I supposed to just walk around asking everyone their name? That would be kinda creepy.
A large cracking sound came from above him, and he looked up to see a giant branch bigger than himself dangling on its last fiber. Oh dear—
SNAP!
Something hard and scaly slammed into him, pushing him away from the falling branch. He fell into the grass face first and lay there, groaning form the sudden contact.
“Phew. Now that… that was close.”
Forest turned to see the creature that had saved him.
“Hello,” the Carnotaur said. “I’m still waiting for a thank you, but that’s fine. I’m Spark.”
Dodo tales (S1 Ep6) look for Ep5 in the ankylosaurus section
thank you journey to the aberration trench/a yuty's quest person, I am a fan of your stories (my favorite character was Eel, because he was weird, R.I.P. random spinosaurus) anyway....
As jerry ran into the house, he grabbed his friend's arm and pulled him in before slamming the door. To Jerry's suprise, His friend looked shocked. "Are you ok?" When he didn't respond, he slapped him "Are you ok?!"
His friend finally managed "R-Rick..... my name is.....Rick."
"ok, what's wrong with you, Rick"
"We're.......screwed" Rick said right as the wooden roof burst open with a crash, and the head of an Allosaurus poked in.
They ran to the other side of the house, but a window burst open, and in came another head. It was chaotic. There were at least four, each burst through a wall or window to try to catch them. They ran up the stairs, but an allo came in and caught Rick by the leg...
Heroes of Pandora
Chapter 6
They were taken to a cave, it was so large that a rex could fit inside, but the tunnel narrowed slightly as they went through, the desmodus, led them through the tunnels, until they reached a fork in the passage, “vwhich vway vwaz it again?” One said. “I think it was left” another said. “No i think it vwaz right.” The first said. “You fools,” Drain said, he sucked in a breath, and made a loud shriek, then twitched his ear in different directions, “it’s left.” He said “HAH told ya Phax.” The second said. “Shut your blood hole Nickoli!” Phax said. “Both of you idiots shut up!” Said Drain.
They marched down the halls, until they reached a large room, stalagmites, and stalactites, lining the floor, and ceilings, “WE’RE HERE AND WE BROUGHT GUESTS.” Drain yelled, that moment, hundreds of desmodus dropped from the ceiling, some cackling, and chuckling, then a large desmodus dropped down, kicking dust all around, with the force of his landing, “vwelcome back Drain,” he said, he looked at the group, “hmm zmall prey, but..,” he sniffed the air, “such exotic blood..,” he looked at Drain “good vwork.” “Thank you Count.” Drain said. “Vwelcome honored guezts, to our home vwe hope you enjoy your stay,” he gave a crooked grin “you’ll stay for dinner, yez?” “Actually can we go, I’m not hungy.” Ping said. “SILENCE FOOL HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO COUNT PHASMA!” Drain screeched. “Now, now, drain, it’s alright our guezts are allowed, to speak their mind,” the count said. “Sorry count Phasma.” Drain said. “But I suggezt you stay, you’ll have front row seats for the meeting.” “What meeting.” Caesar said, the count just glanced at him, then looked back to drain, “take them to their seatz, pleaze.” The count said, Drain complied, walking them to the left of the cave, which had square cells cut into the stone of the wall, they were in a 5 by 8 grid, from floor to ceiling, there were many creatures in the cells, at least 25 or so, the group was all thrown in the same cell, besides Caesar, he was put in a cell with other mesopithicus, “enjoy the little time you have left,” drain said “honored guests.” He said sarcastically, he flew away chuckling as he went. “This is not good..” said Ron
Toxic Tales: Chapter 6
Power
Achelois whinced as a pain flared through her head. "Watch your step wyvern!" Yelled an allo, he hit her in the face with his tail as he left. When his tail touched her scaled she could hear his voice, "stupid wyvern..." She was startled by the voice, how is it possible that she could hear his voice even when he didn't speak? It must be my imagination, she thought, how else could she hear what wasn't said?
She saw Elpis entering the camp with Moirae and Elpis rushed over to her.
"We're starting the walk to the shore tonight, get ready," Elpis said.
"Ok, how far is it?" Achelois questioned.
"Around ten kilometers."
"With the hatchlings and the patrols around we won't make it in a day."
"That's why I said start," teased Elpis.
Suddenly the pain came back, this time Achelois saw something, the silhouette of wings over a forest at dusk, she saw a poison wyvern swoop down into the camp and shot poison at the fleeing allos.
"Are you okay?" Asked Elpis.
"Yeah, just a headache."
"Okay, the hunting party should be back soon."
Achelois spent the rest of the day dreading dusk, she told herself that it wouldn't happen, it's impossible to predict the future. Once the sun set she relaxed, it wouldn't happen it can't happen. Then she saw it, the silhouette flying towards them, "run! There's a patrol!" She yelled.
Moirae lead the pack, holding a hatchling in her mouth while the other allos sprinted alongside her. The wyvern shot poison at them, just missing Elpis, who shot back, hitting it's wing. The second wyvern flew through the trees into the camp, Achelois saw him, immediately recognizing his face, her father. He shot the allo next her, the allo dropped the hatchling in his jaws and fell to the ground. While Elpis and her father fought she pushed the acid off the allo, picked up the hatchling in her mouth, and grabbed the allo in her talons. She fled with Elpis close behind with one thought in her mind, "they know we're here."

Story of a survivor ps: it’s all in alphabetical order
I woke up back at base? The only person who’s there was my friend
He was alive? He told me to stay away, Before I could ask why. He told me that our commander went into a cave and never returned he would go but he had something called swamp fever. No wonder he didn’t let me go near him. Anyways I got on a creature called a barry for short
And started venturing the cave was very far away, but eventually I stumbled upon it and went inside, I saw these beautiful crystals while walking and I decided to take some of them as I continued I saw the roof of the cave was shifting in a way it was weird as I jumped down a little crevice in the cave. I saw the commanders raptor, but he was webbed to the wall and then I looked around the corner and saw spiders eating the commanders lifeless corpse they immediately tried spitting webs at me but my creature was too big so I stomped on one the other tried jumping on top and biting me but I shot hit with my bow, then stomped on it and then for the last one my Barry tore into it like nothing I unwrapped the raptor so he could carry the corpse until I looked over in the distance and saw a very bright green light as I got closer they came continued to shift, however to get to it I had to crawl through so my creatures would have to fend off the crawlers of the cave I saw a long green glowing artifact!? It was levitating but I grabbed it and dragged it under the crawlspace, I threw it on the Barry and hopped on. We exited the cave when I made it home and my friend saw the commanders corpse…..
Today We Rise
Chapter 7 -
A head of us was a large platform being pulled by two equus. On said platform were 3 wolves, 4 raptors, a trike, and Duck. Duck. He is our target. Pathro took Chicken from me so I shall take Duck from him.
"Sand, see the Parasuar?" I asked my wolf
Sand nodded and tensed, preparing for the attack
"Good," I smirked, "we take him when it's dark."
Sand stopped and layed down. I climbed from her back and sat on the ground, leaning on her. My leg aches still. A couple days ago as me and Sand were following Pathro, we were attacked by a couple of raptors. One of them bit my leg, luckily Sand was there and is strong.
I'm still weary about Pathro, what if he didn't have anything to do with Chickens death and had thought I had left with her during the night? No. He killed Chicken and left me, and now I will take his Parasuar. I don't know what to do with the Parasuar after I have collected it but I'm sure I can think of something.
(Night Fall...)
As soon as the sky went completely black, except for tons of stars, we set for Pathro's temporary home. Really it was a platform with a tent bland dinosaurs but it was better then nothing. Creeping up to Duck, I noticed the blood everywhere. Feathers and blood. Chicken's feathers and blood. Rage rushed through me, he will pay. As soon as I reached that Parasuar I pulled a large butchers knife from my pocket. Gripping the handle, I held it eye level and crept in front of the sleeping Duck. I gently pressed the knife to his neck and pressed as hard as I could. Blood rushed from the wound. Duck woke and let out a horrid sound, calling for help. I ran the knife down his throat and then ran back to Sand. Tucking the knife in my pocket, I pulled myself onto her back.
"Quickly Sand! To the woods!" I told her. She launched herself into a sprint and reached the woods in a minute. Behind us raptors screeched, wolves howled and Pathro was screaming. I can't tell if he was yelling in anger or sorrow. All I know is how good and weird the dark joyful feeling felt as it crept through my bones.
I was able to make out a couple words from Pathro's yelling.
"Find.... kill....avenge!" Was all I could make out.
"Come on Sand, to the cliffs!" Sand ran through the woods, hurdling over fallen logs and small streams. It took 2 minutes and we were in the large clearing.
Sand came to a sudden stop, almost flinging me off of her back.
"Sand? What the hell?" I asked, regaining my balance. I turned to see the four raptors emerge from the woods. They stopped and smelled the air, chirping to each other quietly. Sand let out a low threatening growl, smart girl. We are the threat, not them. The largest of the four growled back, preparing to attack.
"Easy Sand. We tick them off, wait for them to reach us and then we dodge out of the way. They'll fly off of the cliff," I told her. Sand growled in response.
"I can't lose you too," I mumbled. She went quiet and nodded, before growling at the raptors again. The Alpha raptor let out a loud call, telling the others to attack.
"Get ready, and... Jump!" I ordered. Everything went perfectly. The raptors fell off of the cliff, all if them except for the Alpha.
The wilderness
Ep 8 - the first sunrise.
Garess sat by the tent looking to the sky, wondering why he is here.. and.. where?
"What you doing..'
"Just waiting for the sun to come up.."
"This places sunrise is the best one I've ever seen.."
Garess got up and walked to the campfire
"Fire might go out.."
He looks up..
"Huh?.."
3 argents being rode with saddles
"Quick, put out the fire!"
One of the argents accidentally drop something
A shard of some sort.. it looked like it was energized and had power..
Garess hid it in his pocket
"Alright they passed.."
20 minutes later
7 AM
Garess wakes up
"Wow.. there it is.."
Garess got up when he could see better
"Hmm.. is that a swamp?.."
He walks down to the beach and sees a dodo..
"Huh.. a bird?"
He knocks it out furiously
"Huh.. why did I do that?.."
He thought it would be nice to leave some mejoberries next to it when it awoke
"There.."
The dodo immediately got up and ate them.
"That.. was fast."
It started following him
"Are you mad?.."
It rubbed it's head against him
"Okay.. uuh"
He picked it up and walked back to camp
Then distant smoke in the air when they attacked the village
"What a shame.."
"What's that?.."
Garess looked at the dodo
"A bird?.."
"That's.. a dodo."
Garess looked at it's face..
"Mhm.. makes sense."
They walk back to the camp when they see something.. or someone
... It What is it?

Chapter 5 is finally here!
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 5
“Humans.” The megalo snarled. “And three kapros and an Araneo.”
Slav kept his hand on his whistle, ready to tell Parker and Flash to attack the brutal creature.
“I won’t eat you yet.” It growled. “But I know what you are after.”
Kai began blasting with his tek rifle, and the megalosaurus roared in pain. Pockmarked with bullet holes, their pursuer chased them down narrow tunnels, dodging other dangerous creatures, until they were blocked.
Slav and Nox, one of the kapros looked at each other. They could both sense the artifact on the other side of the wall. The creatures closed in and it seemed that they were doomed.
Then suddenly, a reddish blur flew through the tunnels and took the megalo down with one hit. It stopped, and Slav saw Flash, his gallimimus standing there. A tear came to Slav’s eye. He whispered something to Flash and then told Kai to blast through the the wall.
“Okay, sure.” Said Kai, confused. He began blasting through the rock. They made it to the other side, where two things stood at a pedestal.
The artifact.
And the Toxicant Tea.
Slav heard Flash dying, but he was too focused on the vial.
Sir Edmund Rockwell. Where had he heard that name before?
The kapro Pouncer grabbed the artifact and Jenny grabbed the Toxicant Tea. They raced out of the gave and into bright sunlight.
A Rex’s roar shook the Earth.
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 1 By Swamp Guy
Slav looked across the cave. Arthropleuras. Coming fast. He whistled to his gallimimus and his Araneo. It was time to go.
They shot out of the cave into bright sunlight. The redwood trees were tall overhead.
Slav patted Flash, his gallimimus and Parker, his Araneo. Another tough spot that they had gotten out of together.
“Hey, who are you?” A girl’s voice asked.
Slav put his hands up. The girl looked at his Araneo and thought for a minute.
That redwoods village was enormous, Slav thought. It had been here where he had killed Skrake.
When they got to a large building, three kapros and a male human bounded out.
Slav recognized that kapro. The kapro recognized him.
“You.” It said. Slav could understand animals. It was pretty weird.
“Jenny!” Said the other human. “You’re back!”
“Yeah, and look at this guy.” She said.
The kapro said it again to the boy. “Kai, that’s the man who killed Skrake!”
Kai’s eyes widened. Slav just stood there, wondering what would happen next.
King of the Wyverns
Chapter 4
Malston flew out the cave. Tricking the wyvern had been easy. Now came the hard part: leading Cleo far away from anywhere near Ares.
“You can come out now Cleo!” Malston yelled. She quickly came from her hiding spot on the other side of the hill, another cave Ares had not seen. Knowing the land so well came in handy for sure.
“Ares is gone, so let’s move somewhere else,” Malston urged. “He’s looking for you.”
“Ooooh!” Cleo squealed. “This is the most exhilarating game of hide and seek ever!”
Malston smiled. “Yeah, so let’s go. If he finds you, you’ll lose. You don’t want to lose, right?” Fooling this naïve wyvern was easier than fooling Ares.
Cleo nodded. “But where do we hide?”
Malston held back a gigantic smile. Everything is going according to his plan. “I know the perfect place. Follow me.” He flew away quickly. A gut feeling told him Ares was on his way back, so he had to work swiftly.
Cleo and Ares were too dangerous together: Cleo may not act it, but she was perceptive and intelligent while Ares was said to have unsurpassed combat skills along with top-tier schooling. They would easily find The Artifact, which was meant to be hidden. And if they found The Artifact, they would also find The Hidden Lands.
And that would mess up all of Lord Hiro’s plans.
Two Deinonychus flew through the tall grass. Their most recent hunts had been unsuccessful, but this one was bound to succeed. Their prey this time was a trike that came out of a fight with a group of dilophosaurus scratched and scarred.
Easy meal.
They hopped onto it and tore at the surprised trike, which easily succumbed to their sharp teeth and claws.
“That’s one,” said one deinonychus, a black one with specks of white scattered through his feathers.
“Thinks it’s enough?” said the other, a rare mutation. She had blue feathers and a white stripe going down her back. She was widely known throughout all of the deinonychus in Fjordur for having superior stamina and strength.
The black one nodded. “Let’s drag it over there,” he said. “We have to be careful though.”
The two Deinonychus dragged the trike to the recipient of the meal: an awaiting Carchadontasaurus. They watch it eat.
“Wonder why Lord Hiro wants this thing,” said the blue one, nodding at the carcha. “He’s paying good for it though.”
The black deinonychus lowers his voice to a whisper. “I heard he wanted it to kill something.”
“Like what?”
“A wyvern.”
Jointed mysteries
Wait till the end of this WHOLE story. I’ll give bonus chapters for what happened to the REAL heros. Stay tuned. -SpecialRaptor/sneakystripes
Chapter 8
They slid back behind the wall of the side entrance. “What are we going to do?” Mia whispered. “I guess I roared too loud..we have to do something. And I mean anything.” Joe whispered back. “Then WHAT are we doing then?” Mia whispered again. “I don’t know. Here, Fury, this is your map now. You get to decide.” Joe said.
***
After ten minutes of deciding, Fury finally spoke. “Well, we’ll have to be quick about this, because their coming..” Fury said. “Here, take this moss from the tree. We’re blending with the floor.” Fury whispered once more. They took moss from the tree and made a cloak with it. They all fit perfectly in together. “Well? Now what Fury?” Joe asked. “Now, we crouch.” They crouched onto the floor of the castle. “Hmm, might of been a bird like a pelagornus.” The velonasaur said. “Phew, I thought they saw us.” Shuttle whispered. “Shuttle! Your squishing me!” Mia scolded. “No, I’m not!” Shuttle scowled back. “What’s going on here?” The reaper shouted in question. “Oof, did he hear us?” Mia asked. “I’m sure he did,” Fury continuedlessly confirmed. “But, I think we’re still safe.” Fury finished. “We need to surprise the reaper.” Sorow said. “True, but how? I don’t have that- Mia got interrupted by Sorow - I’m sure you have the talent to do it. Just jump out of the moss. Not too hard is it now?” Sorow questioned. Mia didn’t answer. They hopped out of the moss and suddenly, velonasaurs surrounded them. “We already knew you were here! Talons up fokes!” A velonasaur said.
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 3
“Long ago, Skrake was a glorious leader of our tribe. We were known as peacemakers and problem solvers. We spread our peaceful influence throughout the word.
But then everything changed. In an expedition to the tek cave, Skrake and I uncovered a small bottle of liquid with the name Sir Edmund Rockwell on it. We did not know what it was.
Skrake and his scientists began to do tests on it. Skrake became obsessed. Our tribe had now gained a more reclusive reputation. Then, Skrake finally figured out how the liquid worked. It could give any tamed creature supernatural weapons, though killing it over time. Skrake called the liquid the Toxicant Tea. His first subject was my giga, Titan.”
Kai and the kapros gasped. “What happened next?” Jenny asked.
“When the Toxicant Tea was used on Titan, he became loyal to nobody. He went on a rampage and destroyed our entire village. He killed my mosa, my stego, my raptor pack... my only tames left are right here next to me. Myself, Skrake, and a small band of Skrake’s followers were the only human survivors. Skrake figured out how to control Titan, and they set on using him to find more Toxicant Tea. They only found one more vial. I heard rumors that it was going to be used on a kapro called Cutter. I see now that he escaped. But I fear that while Skrake is dead, some of his followers may still be out there and searching. We must find the Toxicant Tea and destroy it.”
The kapros nodded. Kai and Jenny talked for a minute and then turned back to Slav.
“We will help you.”
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 6
“We’re... we’re dead.” Kai managed to say, exhausted, as they ran from the Rex. “There’s no point...”
“Shut UP, Kai!” Nox barked. “There’s still a chance!”
The Rex came closer and closer, saliva dripping from its merciless jaws. “Prepare for death.” It snarled, the second a tek rifle blast hit its head, killing it.
“Who are you?” Said a strange voice through a helmet.
“Doctor Cenness.” Said Slav bitterly. “How are you enjoying having no Skrake to boss you around?”
“Shut it.” She said, and Kai and the kapros could tell that it was the scientist who helped Skrake in the swamp.
“You are coming with me.” She said. She whistled loudly, and an entire allosaurus pack came to her side.
“Come now.” She said.
They were thrown into a small building on the edge of the Maw.
“This is inconvenient.” Muttered Jenny. “We help some random guy and then we get thrown in prison.”
“Oh, you’ll like it here.” Said a malicious voice. “You’ll get used to it.”
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 4
“Is this the right place?” Kai asked as they reached the Maw.
“Yes, I believe so.” Slav replied. “We will try to find the tea in the Central Cave.”
“I’ve never been in a cave.” Said Jenny. “What’s it like?”
“Dark, wet, humid, and dangerous.” Kai muttered.
Nox, Cutter, and Pouncer (Kai had told Slav their names) went in alongside the humans.
Jenny held Kai’s hand for most of the way. Growing up on a high mountain does not prepare you for deep caves.
“Watch out for Megalosaurus.” Slav said bitterly.
Jenny stifled a scream. “They have those here?”
“Yes.” Said Kai. “They also have snakes.”
“Talking about ussssssss?” A titanoboa hissed as three more found their hiding spot.
“Who are you?” Barked Nox.
“We are the Venom Warriors of the Central Cave.” They said in unison.
Kai and Jenny drew their swords. “I really miss living on the volcano.” She said, and sliced the head off of the lead snake.
“You’ve killed Constriketor!” Gasped the other snakes. “He was... he was a...”
“Real pain in the butt!” Another voice said. A megalosaurus began bounding towards them. He killed the snakes and then turned his eyes on Slav and the others.
“Today, I think I shall eat quite well.” It snarled.
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 2- By Swamp Guy
Kai confirmed the news to Jenny. She nodded.
“Were you the one who killed Skrake?” She asked.
“Yes.” Slav said, slowly. Parker twitched his abdomen. He wanted to web these strangers.
“We were going to spare him, Skrake.” Kai finally said. “We weren’t expecting your intrusion.”
“But I’m honestly a bit glad he’s gone.” One of the other kapros said.
“Quiet, Cutter.” The first kapro hissed. “He can understand us.”
Kai’s eyes widened and the unsheathes his sword. “Tell me,” he said, “why you killed Skrake.”
A Rex roared in the distance. All around them, the sights and sounds of purlovias and raptors and allos attacking their prey echoed through the still air.
“Here is my story.” Slav started.
