Chapter 10
Claws rattling, scales bleeding, blood swinged everywhere. Soldiers died as they fought. The heros would win. The velonasaurs didn’t stand a chance against the heros of Crystal isles. “Yes! Half of them are down!” Mia yelled. “Yes half of them. But not the reaper.” Fury said. They started charging towards the reaper. Shuttle held the reaper for Fury to bite him. “YOW!” the reaper roared. Joe exclaimed that the reaper couldn’t be held for long, but can be stopped. “How then?” Fury looked at the map. “Not the time Fur- Joe got interrupted by Fury -shh, I got this.” Fury finished. “Got wha-whatever.” Joe changed his mind in talking. “(Gasp) there’s lava near by! Lead him to it!” Fury yelled. They led the reaper to the lava. Shuttle held the reaper. “WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT! Fine! You win! I’ll give you the riddle! Follow me.” The reaper said. “Ok.” Fury said back. They followed him. “Here.” They read the riddle.
“Tiny little things, little tiny stealers.”
“Find them in caves, and they’ll steal your stuff.”
“If they steal your stuff, you’ll have to make a dealer.”
‘What does it mean when it says dealer?’ Fury thought. ‘Oh! Make a deal with them! But what are they?’ Fury thought again. “Pegomastax..” Sorow said. No one else answered. “Well, I guess the next guardian is in caves.” Shuttle said. So they went on.
They’re backkkkkkkk! (Btw I messed up six, it’s the one that starts with alright, let’s get into this, or something like that)
Ally’s Hope
Chapter 7
“Okay, so, who’s going hunting?” Asked Lynx as they settled down on a cliff with few animals near “I think me and Renegade should go since we have the murderous bird to look out for” replied Rorin sarcastically. “Hey! I’ve only ever killed a few bugs!” Defended Ally, “and besides, you said that I would tell Ally what a prophecy is” said Renegade, sneering, “Fine! Me and Lynx will go hunting, come on Lynx” yelled Rorin as he got up and stalked off. “Gotta go!” Called Lynx as she ran off after Rorin “so what’s a prophecy?” Asked Ally, turning to look at Renegade “oh, a prophecy is, well, it’s a foretelling of what’s to come” said Renegade as if he was all wise and knowing “so, it’s like telling the future” concluded Ally “yes, it’s...kind of like that” finished Renegade.
Lynx and Rorin returned with only two dilos, they looked sad, “what happened!?” Asked Renegade, a shocked look on his face, Lynx dropped her dilo “everything we found was...disgusting...and extremely aggressive, as if they where corrupted” responded Lynx, a questioning look on her face, Rorin had already dropped his dilo “we’ll share, I’m sure it’ll be enough, maybe the bird can help us find more tomorrow” said Rorin with a grunt. Ally was excited, maybe she could prove herself to Rorin! And he would stop being mean to her! Lynx shared with Ally and Rorin shared with Renegade. “We need to figure out what we need for this boss battle and what we’re fighting” said Renegade while chewing “I’m sure the argent can help with that” growled Rorin.
Ah! Sorry to cut this one short I will try to make the next one longer!

Ally’s Hope
Chapter 5
Ally sat in the tree breathing heavily, she only nearly made it, she could have died. Ally sat there for maybe an hour, shocked, that she had survived. Ally knew she had to keep going, she was also hungry but could spot nothing easy to kill, except a single dodo of course, but she couldn’t eat anything so cute! It looked like a baby argent. Ally knew, she knew, there was only one way to make it home safely, she would have to fly, but she STILL didn’t know how, maybe there was an argent that could teach her how? Maybe the dodo could! Ally hoped up to the dodo, “could you teach me how to fly?” Asked Ally excitedly, but the dodo squawked, as if it where afraid, and ran off. Ally asked the dodo several times, as it could not run fast, but would not answer her. Eventually Ally gave up on trying to speak to the dodo and went to look for food. Ally climbed the trees and hoped from tree to tree, hoping to spot something to eat. Nothing. Nothing, is what she came up with, Ally ended up spending the night in tree, her stomach empty.
Ally awoke, dizzy, from not eating recently and that’s when she noticed it. The land before her was not lush and green anymore, it was dry and dusty, it looked, it felt, wrong. Ally must not have noticed as she went to sleep due to the darkness and dizziness, Ally was excited, a new place to explore! Ally glided down from her tree, this place, was empty, how could a place be so dry, and....sad. Ally, who was never really sad, took one a few looks at this place, it was odd, a waste, and that’s when she realized, it was horrible, it was corrupted. Off, in the distance, Ally noticed something, it was beautiful, it had a glowing aura, it was so white! What was it? I sounded like...the snow biome! Lol and Silver had discussed it once over dinner, there would be flying creatures there! Ally knew her destination, although there where not many trees that didn’t look like they’d cripple at the touch, she was sure she could make it, if not, something amazing would happen on the way. Ally set off, on what would be, although she didn’t know, the last time she’d be alone, at least for a very long time.
New chapters soon!

Ally’s Hope
Chapter 4
Ally had slept, now, it was a new day. Ally knew, well, more hoped, but she didn’t want to be negative, that her tribe would find her, but right now she was hungry and hoped to find something to eat. Ally walked up to the base of a tree and started to climb till she was at the top, from the top of the tree she noticed three small titanyoma(sorry if I spelled it wrong) insects, not the kind that could fly, and decided they would make an easy meal. Ally jumped out of the tree and glided down where she landed on top of the insects, killing two, and then picking the one that was still alive up in her beak and crushed it, The insects made a decent meal. Ally looked up at the sky where she noticed an argent flying, Ally climbed back up the tree, surely flying couldn’t be that hard. Ally jumped from the tree, trying to mimic the argent, it did not work, Ally crashed onto the ground with a thump, Ally did not give up hope though, as she climbed up the tree several more times. Come night fall Ally was covered in scratches and bruises so she climbed back up the tree and went back to the indent in the cliff that she had stayed in the previous night. Ally woke up once again, she decided she’d try to find her way home, she knew she wouldn’t make it all the way, because her tribe would find her, but she’d do some of the work to make it go quicker. Ally wandered for a while, keeping eye, to make sure she didn’t run into anything dangerous, Ally noticed a stego. Ally went up to the stego, “um, excuse me, but could you tell me where my tribes base is?” Asked Ally as it chewed on some grass, the stego turned its head to face west, “just go strait that way, now, leave me alone!” Yelled the stego. Ally turned around and went west, just like the stego said, he was nice, thought Ally. Ally noticed a giant human fortress, that wasn’t what her tribes base looked like! One of the humans patrolling the base noticed her and pointed at her and started yelling. Ally realized immediately that they where not friendly and climbed up the nearest tree, Ally hoped from tree to tree only stopping once to see if they where chasing her, they were, with a giant spino tearing through the trees. Ally screeched, and kept hoping from tree to tree, she could do that faster than she could walk, and faster than the spino could run, but it was still close to catching her. Ally came to be on a tree at the edge of a canyon/long ditch, Ally turned around, the spino coming, so she did the only thing she could think of, she took a step back, prepared herself, and jumped. Ally glided across the ditch and barley managed to grab a branch with her beak and scrabble up on to it, the spino turned back to go home.

Chapter 6
The cave was empty.
“She’s not in the cave,” Ares said. “Not over in the woods. Not in the plains.”
“Maybe she got tired of an annoying brother and she flew away!” Jazz offered.
Razz snorted. “Only you would do that.”
Jazz turned away. Ares sighed. “Where can you be Cleo?”
“Maybe she flew somewhere else,” Razz suggested. “Were you supposed to meet up somewhere? Or maybe you were going to a city?”
Ares brightened. “Yes! She must’ve gone ahead to Wyvern Central! Something must have come up so she just HAD to leave.”
He turned to the twins. “We’re headed to The Wyvern Central!”
Razz and Jazz stared blankly at him.
“You’ve never heard of it?” Ares asked, confused. It was so famous that even animals that aren’t wyverns should’ve heard of it. “Wyvern Central is the only place where a lot of different types of wyverns can commute and co-exist. Not only Wyverns, though.”
Jazz blinked. “What does ‘Commute’ and ‘Co-exist’ mean?”
Ares groaned. “Usually, wyverns don’t interact with each other. We stick with our clan and our leader, only ever communicating with each other for peace deals and the such.” He took a breath. “And if they mix and mingle with each other or have forbidden marriages and relationships, they will get killed. It’s a law.”
Jazz gasped. “That’s horrible!”
Ares nodded. “I was the result of one of those marriages. I would’ve been the King.”
Razz whispered, “What happened?”
Ares chuckled, a sad, heavy laugh. “I’m supposed to be dead right now.”
They sat in silence. Suddenly, Ares didn’t feel like flying to Wyvern Central that night. “Let’s head to sleep in the cave, okay?”
“But you didn’t answer my question!” Jazz protested. “What do ‘Commute’ and ‘Co-exist’ mean?”
Ares rolled his eyes and said, “Commute means communicating and co-exist means living alongside each other.”
Razz nodded, satisfied with Ares answer. “You get the definitions right.”
Ares growled. “Of course I did. Now go to sleep.” He settled into the far corner of the cave.
“Someone’s grumpy,” Razz whispered to Jazz.
“Does he need a little nappy?” Jazz laughed.
The twins snickered until Ares roared, “GO TO SLEEP!!”
That shut them up real quick.
(This is in fjord) I have a argy named Valkyrie (credit to the person who suggested that) who was lvl 159 at the time this incident happened. I tamed her bc I wanted to move my base to the literal other side of the map and she was able to carry all of my creatures I had at the time. I took my fav tame first; my iggy named Autumn. I was half way there when I needed to land for stam, so I set down Autumn and rested. My stam was half full then I saw a lvl 98 giga charging toward me. I went into panic mode and started trying to pick up my iggy. I finally did but the giga was RIGHT THERE! It tried to attack but Valkyrie was fast enough to get away! She saved me and Autumn! Now we are at our new home safe and sound! 1 liek = one treat for my girl.
Thanks to the other fanfictioners for exsisting and getting me through life

Prologue(because my iPad was about to die when I was writing the last Chapter of Renegades Shadow)
“Alright, we gotta think logically this time and NOT let Lynx touch anything” said Rorin “calm down, there’s only one we can click on anyway” replied Lynx “huh?” Said Rorin turning around to see that two of the three places the hadn’t gone where black “we should probably go to that place then” stated Renegade “well, it looks safe” stated Rorin “let’s go then!” Called Lynx. Renegade walked up to the floating picture that wasn’t black “here we go!” Said Renegade as he touched the picture and once again, they disappeared to a place unknown.
If you haven’t already, check out my other stories, Lynx’s Tale in Thylacoleo, Rorin’s Story in Direwolf, and lastly Renegades Shadow in ravager, because if you haven’t read those than the chapters to come after this might not make sense!

A Strange Island (new story by Lamprey)
Chapter 1
I awoke on a beachside, and I saw endless waters. Where was I? I had no memory of my past, but it didn’t make any sense. You know what, it doesn’t matter right now, because I need to focus on survival. I heard something strange, and I looked in the direction of where it came from, and I saw… A dodo bird? I walked over to the dodo, and this thing looked REALLY ugly. I grabbed a stone, and started to hit to the dodo with it until it died.
“Stupid dodo! Just free meat.” I said. I hit a tree with my stone, and it quickly broke. Didn’t make sense at all, but whatever. I decided to punch the tree, and I did just that. Now I had some thatch and wood, maybe I could get fiber and berries to eat from the bushes. I collected fiber and berries, and ate some of the berries. I made a stone pickaxe and got some flint, and also made an axe. And then I harvested the dodo with the axe, and got some hide and meat. This felt… normal? It didn’t make sense, but this place probably won’t make much sense though. I then collected more thatch, fiber, and flint. I made a bow and about 50 arrows. I also made a quiver, and I could see a hill with lots of trees, and I mean a LOT of trees. Once I got to other side of the beach, a huge body of water split me between this place. I looked to the left, and I saw a shorter path. On the way there, I made some cloth clothes with my little bit of hide and fiber that I had. Once I got there, I crossed the water and I could see a swamp to the left, but I ignored it and proceeded to go up the mountain. About midway through, I heard something dangerous. I pulled out my bow and had an arrow ready, and I could see a strange lizard charging at me with a jaw full of teeth, and claws to kill. I aimed for the head, and loosed the arrow, and the raptors fell at my feet. I pulled out the arrow, and examined the creature. Words popped up in my head, “Raptor.” Was this thing called a raptor? I harvested it, and got a good amount of hide. I got to the top of the hill, and I could see dark colored rocks with yellow stripes. Perhaps it was metal? If it was, I could have access to many defensive things.
THE FOREST TITAN BATTLE DUNDUNDUNNNNNN
Ally’s Hope
Chapter 10
They traveled through the cave, “where’s the terminal?” Asked Lynx “it’s supposed to be down that tunnel, along with the artifact” replied Rorin, stopping and pointing at a glowing tunnel with his paw. “Maybe we should have Lynx scope it out first”, Lynx ran off just as Renegade finishes his sentence, Lynx came back about 5 minutes later. “The cave is covered in rexs, allos, yutys, Carnos, basically it’s covered in a bunch of deadly things” said Lynx “well how are we supposed to get to the arena? Not everyone can climb like Lynx” stated Renegade, Ally looked at everyone like they were stupid, “I think we should stay here and let Lynx go, I just have a feeling that’s what we’re supposed to do” blurted Ally, everyone stared at her, but after a moment, Lynx smiled, and ran off, back down the glowing cave. “Lynx wa-“ Renegade stopped Rorin from following Lynx by putting his paw in front of him, “trust them” said Renegade, calm and determined. Just a moment later Lynx appeared at the other side of the cave they where in, she ran over to them as the center of the cave started to shimmer. The forest titan appeared, the forest titan was there as if the air had formed it, it roared. “So, um what’s the plan!?” Yelled Lynx, the forest titan was slow, “I’ll climb up that tree, Ren, Rorin, you lead it close to the tree so I can grab onto its leg, Lynx you climb up to the top and wait for me there, we need to destroy the corruption” ordered Ally, not stopping to let the others speak, she went to the tree she was talking about and climbed up it. Renegade looked at Rorin, he had a grumpy expression, Renegade smiled then bumped his side into Rorin’s in a playful manner, Rorin rolled his eyes as the went to get the forest titans attention, Lynx ran toward the titan, she jumped onto the titans leg and started to climb. Once the forest titan got close to the tree Ally jumped out of the tree and landed on the titans leg, with a determined look, she started to climb, Rorin and Ren kept distracting the titan. Once Ally made it to the top of the titan where Lynx was waiting, Lynx told Ally they should start by taking out the corruption in the left shoulder, so they did. Lynx ripped at the corruption as if she was sharpening her claws on a tree, Ally ripped out the corruption with her beak, until, the titans arm fell off, and Lynx nearly went with it, she managed to climb back up, they started on the other shoulder. One by one they pulled out the corruption, the titans left arm grew back, just as the right one fell to the ground. The forest titan roared, louder than before, it shook the ground, the forest titan shot two seeds from its back, hitting Ren and Rorin, roots started to encase them. Ally stared at Ren and Rorin, the titan had thrown the seeds before, but they never hit anything, as Ally stared at the roots encasing Ren and Rorin the forest titan raised its left arm and knocked Ally off, Ally squawked as she fell, then started to glide gently down. The roots around Ren and Rorin started to dissipate and they started to distract the titan again, Lynx looked at Ally who was now standing on the ground. “Lynx! Get the corruption on its chin! You can do it! I believe in you!” Yelled Ally, Ren and Rorin going in circles around the titan, “you can do it!” Yelled Renegade, Lynx looked at Rorin, Rorin rolled his eyes, “I believe in you!” Called Rorin halfheartedly, Lynx smiles and laughed. Lynx turned to face the titans chin, her face changing. She climbed up to its neck and climbed onto its chin, she was upside down, Lynx did her best to hold on, but she was going to fall. Lynx looked up at the forest titans face, she used the roots the forest titan was made of and wrapped and weaved them around three of her legs, leaving one of the front ones free, she used it to claw at the corruption. After a while, the forest titan stopped Ren noticed that Lynx could not free herself, the roots where ensnaring her, by now Ally and Rorin had noticed as well, the forest titan had started to fall, the corruption on his chin gone. “Lynx!” Yelled Ally, as the titan fell to the ground clouds of dirt fell around it, they couldn’t see anything, but as the clouds of dirt started to disappear, they could see two silhouettes, the forest titans, and another, standing on top of it. The forest titan stood up, as it stood up they noticed Lynx standing on top of it triumphantly, Ren, Rorin, and Ally cheered.
Manticore is probably gonna say something like “When does Rorin not have a grumpy face?”,

Chapter 9
“So you can’t actually fly?” Asked Renegade as he separated the good parts and the bad parts of his corrupted Dilo “I cant fly, I can glide, but that’s about it, my tribe never taught me how to fly” replied Ally as Rorin walked up “I went back to where those runes where and found some more, I suggest we start with the forest titan, the artifacts are right at the terminal so we don’t need to worry about those, I also found out where exactly the terminals are, the forest titan requires, 10 Rex arms, shouldn’t be too hard, 10 sauropod vertebrae, we’ll just kill some Diplos, and as I said, the artifact, but that one is the easiest” Said Rorin. Lynx jumped up “well then, let’s start on the corrupted hearts, there are so many corrupted dilos and raptors, which are pretty easy to take out, AND they live in packs so it’ll be easy to get a lot at once” suggested Lynx, “sounds good to me! Also, would now be a good time to mention that I can’t fight? Also I don’t really want to” said Ally, Rorin starred in shock, he was starting to get very annoyed with this bird, he couldn’t take it anymore “WHY DIDNT YOU SAY THIS BEFORE!? TELL ME LYNX, RENEGADE, WHY, WHY, ARE WE TAKING THIS NUICENCE WITH US!? SHE CANT HUNT, FIGHT, OR FLY, SHES USELESS! AND WHATS ALL THIS WITH HAVING A FEELING ABOUT HER, YOU BOTH CLEARLY HAVE IT, WHY DONT I! OH I KNOW WHY, ITS BECAUSE YOUR BOTH DELUSIONAL, YOU TOO BIRD, AND IM NOT, THATS WHY!” Yelled Rorin, breaking, he breathed heavily. Lynx was had gone from standing up, full of courage, ready to fight, to ready to rip Rorin to shreds “I didn’t understand 50% of that, I’m just going to assume Rorin’s getting himself ready for fighting the titans” said Ally, she sounded stupid, Lynx was tired of Rorin’s grumpiness. Lynx walked up to Rorin “You are STUPID to think you can talk to ME and MY friends like that without getting your PELT ripped off! YOU take that ALL back RIGHT now!” Growled Lynx, a dark look in her eyes “make me” sneered Rorin, Renegade stood in horror, about to jump in to the fight to try to sort this out. Ally came in between Lynx and Rorin, stoping Renegade from trying, “look, I know it’s hard right now, and we’re all starving and confused, and I don’t know half of what Rorin was talking about, but we can’t fight! Imagine what will happen!? NONE of us even know how to survive out here alone, HECK, we can barley do it together! So, pull yourselves together and let’s go kill some corrupted dilos! I may not be able to fight, BUT, I can climb trees, I’ll use that to jump on top of them and kill them, alright? Besides...if they’re corrupted, I don’t think we can do much for them” said Ally, a small tear formed as she said the last sentence. “Ally’s right, having her in the trees will be almost like having her in the air, so let’s get on with it!” Agreed Renegades “fine, I guess that bird, despite her empty brain, can have decent ideas sometimes” growled Rorin, Lynx nipped at him.
The four of them spent the whole day collecting the corrupted hearts, once they had them all the took them to the cave underneath the purple liquid, where nothing would find them, and decided to move on to getting the vertebrates tomorrow, the next day they headed for the sanctuary, diplos where not hard to find, in the process they actually got a good meal for once. On the way to the sanctuary, they had spotted many rexes and also found some in the sanctuary, so, they killed them with ease, Ren and Rorin attacking its feet, causing it to spin in place, in attempt to get them, while Lynx jumped onto its back and Ally jumped onto it’s back from the tree, once they where both on they would claw at the Rex constantly until it died, they did this over and over again until they had enough Rex arms. The four of them where prepared, they had found even more runes telling them about the titans, they knew what to do, Ally, would be perfect for this one since it was just a living tree, tomorrow, they would tame a titan.
Okay, so this series is going to have...oh...about 16 chapters 0-0

Chapter 32: The Dex
Part 2/2
“Thank you so much for sticking with me the entire ride. I’ll publish my book soon, and you’ll be on the thank you page. I don’t think I’ll use this platform very often now that my story is finally finished… But I know yours hasn’t. I know we'll meet again some day.”
The message was signed off by someone named ‘Moon’. And there was another message replying to her.
“No, I should be thanking YOU, Moon. Your story was phenomenal and I really loved talking to you about the recent chapter or what I thought about the characters and everything. It has been such a journey, a journey three years in the making. So thank you, for the memories you’ve brought me. Thank you for giving us your story, The Obelisk.”
This message was signed off by someone named ‘Biggest Fan’.
“Well this isn’t very relevant,” Warren whispered to himself. He looked at the top right hand corner of the message and saw that the messages had been posted on May 17, 2023, which was four years ago.
“I wonder if there’s any recent messages,” Warren wondered as he scrolled to the bottom of the page. Warren immediately noticed there was an option to go to the previous page. He clicked it and immediately a few more messages popped up on the screen. These ones had been sent a week or two ago.
“Hey, does anybody here know how to tame the Carcharodontosaurus? Me and my nephews have been trying everything with it! Knocking it out with tranquilisers, walking up to passively feed it (although that ended in my death), and even throwing grenades at it. It seems like a messaging site to me, even if it’s inactive… someone please help! - Pilot.”
“Hey Pilot. Don’t worry you’re not alone. I’ve always been here, waiting for someone to message. Even if this isn’t about a story, taming the Carcharodontosaurus is an easy process. All you must do is earn its respect. This beast has a fondness for bloodlust and rage. Murder is its middle name. Slay creatures and earn its respect. Then it will cooperate with you. - Moon.”
“Thanks, Moon. Me and my nephews are going to tame this bad boy soon, the school year is almost over for one of them and one’s even graduating… so I at least want to tame it before he’s off to college. - Pilot.”
“It’s not a problem, Pilot. If you have any further questions, I’ll be here, waiting. - Moon.”
“Looks like that name popped up again. But they’re talking about it as if it’s some sort of game… What even is the point of this website?” Warren asked himself. Warren didn’t know, but if there was one thing he DID know, it was that Dodo Tales was directly tied with this enigmatic website. And there were people still here.
And one of those people had also written a story.
“Surely this mysterious ‘Moon’ knows about whatever this Dodo Tales book is. I should send a message asking where I can find it. I will find out who my author is soon enough,” Warren thought. He began digging around the website, trying to figure out where he could post a message, when he found it. He would need to download the app. He pulled out his phone and typed it in the app store, searching the name up and seeing the app at the top of the page. Downloading it only took a few seconds, so as he opened the app he began to type up a message.
“Hello. Recently I’ve been on an investigation involving the disappearances of all seniors at Terran High School, in the Star City area of the United Republic of Democracies. As a deputy sheriff this usually isn’t my business to dig around in, but my son was involved in this disappearance and I fear his safety. I myself personally investigated the scene and found a book in the principal’s office titled “Dodo Tales”. It was noticeably less dustier than the others. In hopes of getting a lead I searched this book up, and hours upon searching I stumbled upon this website. It doesn’t seem very active, but… if anyone can please point me in the right direction of where this “Dodo Tales” story could be found I would be so happy. Please respond soon, my son’s safety is on the line as we speak.”
He wasn’t too sure if he should consider putting a signoff name, but it seemed the formality here. So he decided to just sign off his name. Deputy Warren. He clicked the “Send Message” button, and the screen flashed green. He turned his phone off, placed it on his desk, and stumbled off back to his bedroom, his eyes droopy and his energy low. Time to sleep.
He collapsed onto the bed, readjusting himself until he lay on his back. He turned to the right, where a silver pendant with half a heart attached at the end hung on a stand.
For a moment, everything seemed still. He felt someone comfortingly grab his shoulder, reassuring him that everything will be alright. That they would stick it through till’ death do them part.
“But, that’s probably just my imagination,” Warren thought. He felt a single tear shed from his eye, and he closed his eyes, letting a blissful rest consume his mind.

Chapter 32: The Dex
Part 1/2
Clack!
The door to Warren’s apartment swung open and a sheriff with tired eyes stepped inside. He flicked the switch and the lights hummed to life, lighting the room up. Closing the door behind him, he walked through a door frame and into his bedroom, which had a single, lone bed that could fit one. He reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a book, tossing it onto the bed. Unbeknownst to Sam and Detective Darren, Warren had snuck out that Dodo Tales book after Darren and Sam left the office. It was a simple task, really.
He opened up his wardrobe, switched his uniform out to a pair of pajamas, and snatched the book off the bed, walking off into the living room and plopping down onto the couch. Warren looked up at a stand on the wall. There was a picture of Warren, Sam, and their son Samuel together. Everyone was happy. Sam was carrying a small baby in her arms. He tore his eyes away from the picture and looked at the book that lay in his hands.
The book was called “Dodo Tales”, and there was an emblem of a dodo bird on the front cover. It was old and torn and the cover was as hard as a turtle’s shell. A hardcover book, it felt rigid and leathery to the touch, as if it was made of an animal’s hide.
“So who wrote this book?” Warren wondered as he began to flip through the old, yellow pages. The last page of the book, which typically featured who the author was, didn’t have anything except a list of people and the words, “Thanks”, at the top.
“Huh,” Warren said as he looked at the list. Many of the names were odd and unrecognizable. They were almost like usernames from a video game. But two names were separated from the others that stuck out to him.
“I give my biggest thanks to Bob and the Nazgul, my biggest and best friends on the Dododex! Without their tips, their thoughts, and their stories I would have never made it to where I am now.”
“Interesting names,” Warren thought as he glanced over them, “Isn’t Bob the name of the Vice President? Probably just a coincidence.”
Even if the book was referring to the Vice President, it wasn’t like he would have enough time for interrogation. Neither would an opportunity arise for him at the moment as on the ride home from Terran High he had heard on the radio that Vice President Bob himself would be going out on leave to the Western States of America for a meeting with their president.
But what piqued Warren’s interest the most was the “Dododex”. What exactly was that?
“I should search that up, along with the title of this book. Perhaps I can find the author that way,” Warren thought. But before he could do any of that he still needed to study the rest of the book. He flipped to the first page and noticed the table of contents only contained four “parts” to it. There was also a fifth part, but when Warren flipped to that page he noticed that it was the Thank You page.
“Where is the fifth part?” Warren asked himself. He flipped to the previous page and noticed the last few words at the bottom of the page.
To Be Continued.
The book had never finished.
Warren jumped back to the previous few parts, which seemed to be in fine condition. Although Warren noticed that the seams at these parts of the book were unusually off. It was as if they were stitched together manually.
Warren looked up at the ceiling, and pondered and pondered. What could any of it have meant? Most of these details didn’t matter whatsoever. For all it could have been, this book was just a book that the principal of Terran High really enjoyed reading, and there was nothing to dissect there.
But he still needed to try.
“If I can’t get a lead with one perspective, I will with another. I must find out who wrote this book,” Warren realized. He slammed the book shut and placed it on the coffee table. He got up from the couch and walked over to his desk. A slim, white laptop lay on the desk, produced by technology giant Element Corp.
Opening the laptop up, he fired it up and opened up his browser, gingerly typing “Dododex” on the bar and clicking the enter button. Instantaneously a few thousand results popped up, filling his eyes with thousands of icons of strange egg emblems. He moved his finger along the touchpad and clicked on the link that was most unique. Dododex “Stories”.
Upon clicking the site, his screen faded a teal blue, with a green bar at the top. There was a strange message at the top of the screen.
Thanks for the support guys! And now it’s time for what you’ve all been waiting for!
Ally’s Story
Chapter 3
Ally had half flapped, trying to fly, and half walked and now she was...lost. Ally had no idea where she was, but she did know a way to potentially figure it out...just had to find a good tree. Ally wandered a little longer just to have a Rex practically land on top of her Ally tried to get away but she still didn’t know how to fly and just as she was about to turn around and accept her fate as she knew she could not outrun a Rex three defense units crashed into the Rex attempting to kill it. The Rex was distracted, Ally left as fast as she could. When Ally was little a defense unit had attacked her tribes base as they occasionally did and that’s when she realized she would need a way of escape in case of a life or death situation. Lol was the main care taker of all the baby dinos and every time she left Ally would try to climb a tree, and now, she was a professional tree climber. Ally climbed a tree near a cliff, not afraid, she used her beak and sharp talons to grab on to the tree and she wrapped her wings around branches to help haul herself up. Ally was about halfway up the tall tree when she noticed a small cave in the cliff, safe from predators, not really a cave though, more of a indent in the stone, Ally glided down from the tree, the closest she could come to flying, and landed in front of the “cave” Ally lied there, wondering, as she looked up at the sky. Would Ally ever be able to fly? Was she defective? Would she be able to survive out here? Would she be able to find her tribe again? Would she wake up to find herself dead? These where all questions Ally had that could not be answered, she missed the older dinos who would tell her stories, she missed her parents even though they did not seem to care about her, she missed Lol and her gentleness toward Ally, she missed being a tame. That was it! Ally was still technically tamed, just, on wander, the humans would find her soon and then she could go home and sit next to a warm fire and listen to Silver and Lol go over the days activities and about the silly things that happened on a daily basis. Ally, Ally would not give up hope, this, this was her hope, for her tribe to find her, to be home, she, would not give up, no matter what.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can’t wait to write the next chapter!
