They walked a bit closer. “Well?” Said Mia. “What now?” Sorrow finished. “Now,” continued Fury. “We ask, who has..THE RUNE.” Said Fury. “ok.” Said Mia. They walked a little closer. “Who has the rune!?” Sorrow roared. “Huh?” One Pego said. “What..RUNE?” It finished. “The green crystal.” Said Fury. “Oh, this one?” The Pego said. “Yes. Now give it back to us!” Roared Sorrow. “Not so fast, you have to trade us for it.” The Pego said again. “No! Give! It! Back! Now!!” Roared Sorrow. “Nah, not like that.” Sorrow stepped closer. Then ran after the defenseless Pego. “Give it to me!” He roared again. “Never!!” Roared the Pego. “Sorrow, leave it alone.” Anubis said calmly. “No!” Roared Sorrow. “Oh well, I’ll trade you my silica pearls.” Mia said. “Silica pearls?” Said the Pego. “Yes please!” It gave us the rune and Mia gave it silica pearls. “Thank you!” It said. “Your welcome!” Mia said back. “See? Not so hard.” She said again. “Fine. You get it this time.” Sorrow calmly walked back towards them. “We need the riddle.” Fury said. “The riddle eh?” It said back.

Chapter 31: Feeling of Despair
Part 2/2
Aurora paused, realizing how much she had just revealed, everything that was going on between her and Borealis, everything would be known by Samuel. Samuel’s eyes darted around, and he looked back at Aurora.
“Everyone’s gone to sleep already,” Samuel explained, “You don’t have to worry anyway. But just think to yourself…”
“Who do you love?”
“And, if you don’t know the answer to that, what type of person do you want to love?”
Aurora stared off into the distance gloomily, her shoulders dropped and her hair fallen to disgrace. She shrugged.
“I-I don’t know.”
“Maybe you’re just lost,” Samuel suggested, “Borealis is gone, and you need to accept the fact. We can’t do anything about it. No ma’am. But you really need to reflect and ask yourself if Borealis really loved you.”
Aurora turned away, looking into the fire again. It was dying, the flames subsiding and the gentle breeze of warmth fading away from her body.
“I suppose I should, huh?” Aurora said with a chuckle. She laughed to herself, rubbing her eyes and getting up from the log, “Oh I’m such a fool, Samuel.”
Aurora walked off to her hut, but before she did Samuel called out to her.
“Hold on just a moment!” Samuel hollered, “You haven’t forgotten something, haven’t you?”
Aurora turned around, her hair flowing gently as the wind carried it across her eyes.
“And what would that be?”
“A good night,” Samuel replied, “You forgot to say good night.”
Aurora smiled, and waved at him.
“Good night!”
Aurora turned around and opened the door up, stepping inside and closing the door behind her. As she did, she felt her heart hammer against her chest.
“Maybe, maybe I was wrong,” Aurora thought as she walked over to her sleeping bag. She dropped down to the floor and snuggled her way in, tugging the cover up.
“Maybe things really can work out between us.”

Samuel was inspecting the strange sheet of paper Star had given him. The fire had died down already, but Samuel didn’t feel cold at all. Oddly enough he felt just at home.
“I’m going to figure this out, Star,” Samuel announced out of the blue, “Don’t you worry. Nothing and no one is going to get in the way of that.”
Star didn’t respond, only wobbling up and hopping onto the log, planting her feet firmly on the rotting bark. Samuel looked up at the night sky, the stars twinkling like fireflies in a dark forest. It really was a pretty sight, no matter how many times Samuel looked at it.
“It’s even more beautiful than down below,” Samuel muttered. He glanced at Star, who was staring at the stars too. Her namesake.
“You know who I named you after?” Samuel asked. Star didn’t look back, her focus shifted toward the stars in the night sky.
“I named you after a woman named Nova,” Samuel sighed, “She was my best friend. I don’t know what was so different about her compared to anyone else but-”
Samuel clenched his fist.
“She made me feel… alive.”
Star’s ears perked up, her feathers ruffling and her tail wagging like a dog.
“Don’t even know why I’m telling you this,” Samuel said, “You might not even understand what I’m saying. Maybe you’re just a dodo bird who’s really smart.”
Samuel relaxed his fist. He sat up from the log and stretched his limbs. He walked over to the grass and lay down on it, looking at the night sky with wide eyes.
“It really is pretty,” Samuel said, “It really is…”
Samuel spent the rest of his time staring at the night sky, the stars slowly moving east as the moon’s might glared upon the camp. As he felt himself drifting to sleep, he felt something soft and fluffy rustle on his arm, the night sky twinkling one last time from his vision.

Chapter 31: Feeling of Despair
Part 1/2
Aurora turned back and forth in her sleeping bag, the conversation between Neddy and Ruby keeping her from falling back to sleep. She sighed, staring at the ceiling as her heart weighed against her body.
“I need to mend things now,” Aurora thought, clutching her gold heart locket, “Or else the rest of my time here will never be the same.”
Aurora crawled out of her sleeping bag, snuck past the two lovers mingling on the ceiling, and made her way to where all the noise was at. The campfire. There everyone seemed so friendly and welcoming. Well, to the others, at least. Bobby and Simon looked at Aurora with raised eyebrows before turning away and chatting about something else. Sunny took a quick glance at Aurora, furrowing her brow and staring at her intently, and Gary took no attention to her. Rick was too busy reading his own book, and upon seeing her, Paige glared at her and drew a finger across her neck. Chris whacked Paige on the head.
Aurora turned away, disappointed in herself. Once a leader among a group of four, she was now looked down upon like some rebel who talked back to their superior.
“That’s not true though,” Aurora thought, “I was VALEDICTORIAN. It took lots of discipline to get to THAT state. I am not some brat.”
She looked at Samuel, who was studying some piece of paper with keen interest. She made slow strides toward him, the voice of Borealis crying out and demanding her to stop.
“STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” his voice echoed within Aurora’s mind like a cave. Aurora paused in her tracks. What was she doing? And why?
“I’m sorry, I need to move on,” Aurora whispered. She stepped forward again, the soft dirt below her shoe crunching and crackling. Samuel’s hairs stood on end, and his head slowly turned around, looking at Aurora.
“Oh, hey Aurora, didn’t think you’d recover so soon,” Samuel noted. Aurora sensed an anxiousness coming from Samuel. For once, he struggled to maintain eye contact, staring past Aurora’s shoulder and out into the hut she had come out of.
“Yeah, me neither, but I can’t have stayed sick for so long,” Aurora answered, “It wouldn’t be fair on the others.”
“Well it’s nice you’re healthy now,” Samuel bluntly responded. He looked away, staring at the paper again. Squinting his eyes, he scratched his forehead, slowly tapping his foot against the grass. Aurora was not too sure what Samuel was looking at, but it couldn’t have been anything too important, right?
Aurora let out a sigh, taking two steps forward before finally sitting down on the log Samuel resided on. Samuel looked over at Aurora, who had her hand on her fists and was staring deep into the fire.
“I don’t know what's been going on with me recently,” Aurora admitted, “And I can’t grasp why I’m feeling this way.”
“Feeling in what way?” Samuel asked curiously. The ruffling of feathers brushed Aurora’s ears and her head jolted to Samuel’s left. Star was looking at the grass, studying small ants making their way through the dirt. One of her eyes was focused on Aurora, and she had a sullen look in it. Aurora blinked, looking away. A bead of sweat rolled down her forehead. She wiped it away.
“That feeling of despair,” Aurora concluded. She buried her head in her hands, “Borealis has been haunting my dreams. I-I don’t get it. It feels like I failed him-”
“Why do you think you failed him?” Samuel gently asked. He folded the piece of paper up and placed it in his graduation robe pocket. Aurora blinks three times over before replying again.
“I just- He’d probably think I’m a failure,” Aurora murmured, “He’d think I’m weak for not stepping it up or taking the lead here. He’d think that everything I’ve worked for would go to waste and that I wasted my time with it all.”
“You think he’d think that about you?” Samuel asked with a raised eyebrow, “If he loves you, wouldn’t he think the opposite? That you tried your best?”
“No, I highly doubt it,” Aurora wavered, “He thinks very highly of me, and if I don’t meet expectations he chastises me. ‘Why is your grade in this class at a B? You know colleges won’t like this! You’re supposed to be smarter than this!’ I just think if he sees me now he’ll-”
For a little while, Aurora talked about everything Borealis said to her, everything she did to appease him, but in the end it was never enough to prepare for the inevitable future.
“He always believed in me, but he didn’t bother spending time with me-”
“Always asking how my grades were going instead of my day-”
“Talking about possible volunteer hours for college-”
I just noticed this, each new tamable dino on genesis is found on each different biome, magmasaurs are found in volcanic biome, bloodstalkers are found in bog, ferox are found in snow biome, asctrocetus are found in the lunar biome, and megachelon are found in the ocean biome
I actually might throw you in. There was actually a guy on my sever named dodoman. The prequel will be about mainly him. Only problem with putting you in my story is that it is based on a true story. Only reason why I added Charlotte in the story as to add some flare to it. Maybe I will start a spin off with you in it.
