Steelslaughter here,
Ever since I lost my carno, Bruce Wayne, I never looked at these things the same way (including pulmono’s and onyx’). Whenever I stumble upon them while skeplunking, I make my presence known.

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?

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
The Terrible Demise of Tortuga
Chapter seven.
“Hi mom, hi dad.” Emma said. Arianna smiled. “Hi kids. Did y’all make friends?” She asked them. They nodded. Josephina came running over to Aragorn trying to climb into his lap. “Daddy!” She cried. Aragorn swept her into his arms. “Hello little bit.” He said. Josephina giggled and buried her face into his shoulder. Arianna looked at Aragorn. “Don’t you think tonight is the time?” She asked. Aragorn nodded with a serious look. He stood up and put Josephina down. He walked down the hall into him and Arianna’s room. “Sit down pls.” Arianna motioned to the kids. They sat down beside the fireplace. Aragorn walked down the hall with a small metal chest and the key to it in his other hand. Arianna rose and stood by her husband. “What’s in there?” Jaquin asked. “These, are something that all of you will get. You are to wear these ALWAYS and NEVER take them off. They will protect you.” Aragorn said. He unlocked the chest and pulled out… “A necklace?” Jack asked. Aragorn raised a eyebrow. “No it’s a MEDALLION.” He handed one to each kid. “Like that’ll make much of a difference.” Jay mumbled. “Even you’re father has one.” Arianna said. Aragorn nodded. “For generations our ancestors have worn these.” Aragorn said. They all slid theirs on then surprisingly something strange happened. The medallions glowed each almost a different color. Jay’s medallion glowed green, Jacks glowed ocean blue, Emma’s glowed whiteish- pink. and both Josephina and Jaquin’s glowed gold. Emma gasped. The second hers had glowed the room had flashed for a brief second. Their house was on fire, and her family? Were gone. She blinked and everything went normal. She shook her head dismissing it as a daydream. Then the glow disappeared from the medallions and the family was silent for a few seconds. Jaquin was the one who broke the silence. “Ooh! Shiny!” He cried. They all laughed. Arianna and Emma went to make dinner while Josephina tried to help.
Next chapter coming soon. 😉.

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.”

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.
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 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.
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.”

Chapter two: Has this happened before?
Twenty seven years later
Deja Vu? Mars stared at the book in his lap. ‘Regular people read books all the time right?’ Mars thought starting too panic. Deja Vu?Then he spotted a man nearby reading. Mars calmed down. He nervously scratched his wrist although the only thing he would feel there would be metal, it still brought him satisfaction. Wait! Had this happened before? Mars felt very tired. ‘After all I have been running all night!’ Mars thought. His heart started beating really fast. ‘Am I hyperventilating?’ Mars thought slowly. Mars started too hear people gasping. He turned too see everyone staring at him. Mars looked at his hand. His left hand looked perfectly fine. But his right hand…. Wasn’t even there. Mars stared at his shoulder as it turned into a cloud a black ash. He felt as if he was underwater. He looked at his left hand one last time too see a red glow coming from under the sleeve. Then everything was dark.

The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 9
“We were going to hold off on you for a little while,” said Cenness, stepping through the wave of guards. “But we’re going to make you fight now, one by one.”
Hadir was dragged into the arena as a massive roar sounded. A huge beast walked out into the arena. It was bigger than a giga, but it looked like... Slav thought it looked like... a dodo?
“The DodoRex.” Laughed Cenness. “Getting away is impossible.”
They threw Hadir into the arena. The DodoRex snarled and shot a massive blast of fire at Hadir. The awful hater died a fiery death.
The DodoRex walked back into an unseen cage.
“We have something better for you.” Cenness cackled. An even more massive roar sounded, and a creature walked out that was more massive than nearly anything you could imagine.
“Godzillark.” Cenness said. “Now, you die.”
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 8
The Arena Battle was going to be held off for a few days, after one of the prisoners let off a few tripwire narcotic traps for the guards to walk into. Meanwhile, Slav and the others were chained to a wall opposite from a very ugly man.
“Who are you?” Asked the ugly man.
So they recounted their story. After saying “And so we were locked up here to be thrown in an arena,” the man nodded.
“So what?” The man said, rolling his eyes. “I don’t want to hear some clearly made up story about some stupid crocodiles and humans. I want to hear stories about this guy’s quetz, that guy’s raptor, this guy’s Parasaur, et cetera.”
“What kind of ugly hater are you?” Kai asked in disgust.
“I am Hadir, devourer of imagination, killjoy supreme.”
“You actually sound proud about that.” Wheezed Haphis, who probably wasn’t going to survive much longer.
“Shut up.” He said, and then fell asleep.
“Nox. NOX!” Slav heard Pouncer’s voice as a whisper that night. Hadir was still sleeping peacefully.
“Can you get us out?” She whispered. Nox dug his jaws into the steel, and managed to break it. The kapro then broke the others free.
They snuck out into the arena, the only sound being a squawking pelagornis on top of a pillar.
“Intruders! INTRUDERS!” It yelled.
“Oh, crap.” Jenny said as guards suddenly surrounded them.
The Toxicant Trials- Chapter 7
A strange man stepped out of the shadows. Behind him was a woolly rhino.
“Haphis!” Kai and Jenny lifted their weapons at the had-been tribe leader.
“I won’t exile you out of anything anymore.” He wheezed. “Now I’m just a man with a bad case of Swamp Fever.
“Ewwww!” Nox and Pouncer recoiled, but the others kept talking.
“What happened?” Asked Jenny.
“Who the heck is this guy?” Asked Slav.
“We’ll explain later.” Cutter said. Kai nodded to Haphis.
“Not too long after you left, some of Skrake’s followers infiltrated our city. After causing panic and death, they kidnapped me and took me here. So that I didn’t have the strength to escape, they put a diseased leech on me and Impaler.” He gestured to the Rhino. “And now that our town is in ruins, Doctor Cenness can finally infiltrate the Snow Cave to get the Toxicant Tea.”
“That’s really bad.” Kai said, as the doors swung open to reveal Cenness and two allosaurs.
“It’s time you came with me.” She said.
They walked and walked to another prison in the Grand Hills. There, they were locked up for two days. As the sun peeked above the horizon on the third day, a guard came into their cell.
“Come on.” He said sharply. “Into the arena.”
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.”

His heart beats heavier than normal. For now bob shrugs it off as maybe it’s a mild case of swamp fever, but then again. Bob can’t stop himself from wondering “is this love?”
Well it took a few episodes to introduce the characters, but I think it's safe to say that Dodo tales just got exciting. BTW to the guy who asked how long Dodo tales would be, I'm not entirely sure, but I'm hoping to at least get to a point that feels like a good place to stop, it may be 1 season, or 5. It kind of depends on how much support it gets.

Chapter six.
While the kids hung out Arianna and Aragorn sat in the living room. Arianna was knitting while Aragorn was reading the newspaper while talking to his wife. “…I’m just worried. What if he follows us here?.” Aragorn said. Ariana shook her head. “I don’t think he can… but if he did he wouldn’t…” she trailed off. “Oh, I have no doubt Tom would….that look in his eyes when we last saw him…so full of rage and…” Aragorn trailed off and sighed regretfully. “I just wish…” began Arianna but just then the door opened and the kids entered from the town square.
Sorry it was short.

I had an idea of bringing my Carno (Bullseye) to the cave down south, it worked pretty damn well despite being webbed. I get the artifact and leave, I tought to myself, “Wait, I should empty the cave and fill it with spike walls before I leave” I did as planned, Bullseye got stung, webbed, spat, and bit at but he made it in the end, now I can enter the cave with no worries and I can get myself some Soothing Balm. Which by the way I’ll tell right here. So if you’re interested, continue reading this story.
Again, I’ve mentioned the Cave down south (specifically the mid south one, not the east) the artifact in there can be used as a tribute to the green obelisk, now you can’t always get the soothing balm from the tribute, but this is one of the ways to get at least a higher chance of it instead of having to rely on a Free Gift (mobile), the tribute is especially good for some low leveled players as offering it grants other things aside from the balm (blueprints, buffed items, and etc.)
