More Astrodelphis Stories Tips
This is the story of how I met Astro, the most playful, and majestic astrodelphis of them all. It all started when I was relaxing in genesis part 2, not a care in the world. I was on a PvP server, and relaxing wasn’t tolerated. A wild player stormed into my base, lv 314 giga and all. My base was razed to the ground, along with most of my dinos. Innocent otters, and maywings alike were slaughtered. When I returned to my base, I was devastated at the massacre. A rage built in me, I had to get revenge. I traveled to the corner of the map where I hid my emergency supplies, and got to work.
I was in the space biome, gathering materials for my plot of revenge. While I was mining element nodes, I heard a high pitch chirp. I turned around to see a lone astrodelphis, floating to me. It started attacking, like it was angry at the world. I looked at it straight in the eye. “I see we both have angers at the world.”, I said to it as I dodged it. “How about we take our angers out together?” The dolphin lessened it’s attacks, and I fed it element. After a while later, I finally gained its trust. “I’m not that good with names…”, I said to my new friend. The astrodelphis chirped as if it was annoyed, like it ment, “I don’t care” A simple, but decent name came into my mind. “How about Astro?” Astro chirped again. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
A week later, and my plot for revenge was in motion. I managed to find the enemy tribe’s base, and I was getting soakers ready. Astro was armed with a fresh tek saddle, and had a flame in his eye as he looked at the opposing base. “You ready for the attack?”, I asked him. Astro whistled and clicked. “Ok! Let’s begin.” I advanced the soakers forward, and a rain of bullets started to shower on us. After retreating some of the soakers, and replacing them, the turrets finally ran out of ammo. I withdrew all the soakers, and moved the attack squad into position. Rexes, spinos, shadowmanes, and Astro were part of this. Enemy players and dinos rushed out of the base to defend. I mounted Astro, and gave him a pep talk. “Finally the time Astro. The moment we seek glory and get revenge on the enemy!” Astro chirped a mighty battle cry and we soared into battle. Bombs exploded below, and entire walls of metal were collapsing to the ground. Enemy players and dinos alike were run over, eaten, and blown to bits by my team. At the end of the battle, their base was just a skeleton of what it used to be, and the enemy was retreating. We have won!
A huge party followed after our victory, including fireworks, cake, and a game of tag! Me and Astro shared a toast to the ones who died in the battle, and shared another toast to more victories in the future.
To this day, Astro still raids bases with me, and he is the only Dino that survives base wipes by other players. He developed a mighty taste of blood! I hope you all liked my story, I’ll see you all at the battle field!
⚠️THIS IS A WARNING⚠️ NEVER leave these guys out while you’re out farming or taming something. always remember to cryopod them. why? because they like to wander away when you’re not in render distance. then, they’ll phase through the map and kill themselves. i’ve lost countless of these things because of the same problem. if you find this helpful, up this so people don’t lose their dolphins. -J

Chapter 9
She was always watching. She noticed almost everything that went on in this corner of Wyvern Central. She knew almost everyone’s secrets, where they worked, what they usually ate, and even how often they bathed.
There were a lot of subjects to study in Wyvern Central. Lots of fights to watch, usually between a Wyvern that said Fire Wyverns are the strongest and one that disagreed.
She knew who were actually the best fighters: Her kind.
Years ago, wyverns lived together in harmony and peace. They all enjoyed each other’s company and did stuff for each other. But when one Wyvern married another Wyvern of a different race, they all had a war which ended in separation.
The ones who married were an Ice Wyvern and a Tropical Crystal Wyvern. And they had a pure-bred line which was called ‘The Tropical Ice Wyverns.’ She was part of that clan.
They were a small clan, but bigger in size than other Wyverns. At school, she was ridiculed but she didn’t mind. She focused on her studies. Her studies taught her to be vigilant and alert, always watching. She matured faster than everyone else. She rose to the top of her class. The other wyverns treated her as a queen. But she’d rather be alone, on her little wood post, watching people leave and enter Wyvern Central.
Which is how she noticed a Lightning Wyvern with two Featherlights on his back.
“Now that’s strange,” she said, and went down to take a look.
Ares entered the giant, bustling city of wyverns. Razz and Jazz oohed and aahed at the colorful market stalls, drawings of creatures, and they even hooted in excitement when they saw a stall of Plant Species Z seeds.
“Calm down,” Ares told them. “Don’t draw attention to us.”
“Dude, this is exciting!” Razz told him, nabbing a few seeds from a Moschops with his back turned. “Haven’t had these delicacies in a while!”
“That’s stealing,” Ares grumbled.
“We’ve had to survive off of mushrooms! We deserve these,” Jazz answered.
“Look out for Cleo, okay?” Ares said.
“We don’t know what Cleo looks like,” Razz said. “Maybe we can get a description?”
“She’s light blue,” Ares told them. “About as light as Jazz’s body. A little smaller than me.”
“I saw her ages ago!” Jazz exclaimed. “She was following us, but then she got caught up in a crowd of other wyverns!”
Ares whipped around and went back the way they came. He bumped into a few other wyverns that growled at him.
“She’s up there!” Razz shouted, pointing at a wyvern that was sitting on a wooden post on the corner of the wall. The wall that marked the entrance of Wyvern Central.
Ares flew as fast as he could towards the Wyvern. She noticed him and smiled. He flew up to the post and said, “Are you blind, Jazz?”
This Wyvern was bigger than Cleo, not a lightning Wyvern, and almost as deep blue as Ares. The two of them looked alike, actually.
Ares’ body was so dark of a blue that he looked black, and he had blue wings. This wyvern was almost black, but with sky blue wings and sky blue spikes sticking from her head.
“Oh it’s you!” she said. “I was standing up here watching stuff and then I saw you with Featherlights. I lost sight of you so I flew back up here.”
“Umm,” Ares muttered.
“So what are you doing here?” she asked.
“I’m Snowflake by the way. But you can call me Snow.”

The Obelisk
-Chapter 12-
The sun was high in the sky, filtering beams of golden light through the leaves. The swamp was a short ways ahead of them, and the three carnivores were getting along well.
“Da-da—I really can’t stay—da-da—DA-da-da…” Rust sang, bouncing along side Forest.
“How close do you think we are?” Forest asked Spark.
“A few miles, at least,” she said, swishing aside some bushes.
“Baby its COLD OUTSIIIIIIIIIDE!” Rust leapt passed a crooked branch, clinging onto trees with his wicked sharp claws.
“Must you continue singing that?” Spark asked.
“Yup,” Rust answered. “I love singing.”
“So do I,” she retorted. “Just not SO MUCH of it.”
“Now you sound like my mom,” Rust said with a toss of his head. “Great. Will there be a lesson of politics and politeness next?”
Forest laughed, remembering his own mom. He smiled at Rust, who grinned back, beaming.
“Sure,” Spark said sarcastically. “Rule number one: don’t steal.”
“Ahh, come on!” Rust said. “I was just joking! That Kapro probably caught a thousand more meals after that. I bet you gold she’s totally forgotten me.”
“Lucky you, you ran into us,” Spark said with a sigh.
The deinonychus marched forward some more, singing once again. Spark gave Forest and exasperated look.
“So what’s the full plan, Forest?” Spark asked after a while.
“We find the other two carnivores,” Forest said. He’d explained the prophecy and the basilisk he’d met days ago to both of them, getting eager but nervous expressions from the two. But they both agreed they’d search with him.
What are we even saving the world from? Forests mind questioned. She didn’t say that. I suppose the carnivores have been quarreling for a while… but that’s nature, isn’t it? Only young, juveniles like us could get along.
Maybe that’s our purpose. Prove to all of Fjordur that carnivores CAN get along.
If so… what a small band to change the world.
The Five Talons of Abberation, Chapter Four...
Kiri and Syaoran sat on the crates, talking for a while. "So..." Kiri said. "Does this make us friends?" Syaoran put his head on his hand. "I guess." He said. Kiri sighed. "That's what everyone I ever tried to make friends with said..." She sighed. "I guess I'm just too weird." She stood up. "I'll just leave." She said, beginning to walk away. But Syaoran grabbed her arm. "Don't go." He said. "I don't have any friends either... and it seems like we have a lot in common." She nodded. "I guess." She said. He sighed. "People think I'm weird too." He said. "We're just different." She sighed. "Alright then." She muttered. "I.. have a performance tonight though." He nodded. "I'll come with you." He said. She nodded. "Alright." She snickered. "Are you going to dance?" Syaoran huffed. "Obviously not." He said. Kiri snickered. "You totally are." She said, running off. He followed her, jumping over the crates and into the streets. They were no longer the bustling, busy streets from earlier, but a calm, quiet town road with only the few sounds of the few creatures and people left in the roads. Kiri stepped behind the small stage in the middle of town, Mitsuto sitting on the stage. Kiri took a guitar out of its case from behind the stage, putting the straps over her shoulder. "What are you playing?" Syaoran asked. Kiri shook her head. "You'll see." She said. "It's a rather sad song... I don't often feel happy enough to play nice songs. You caught me on a nice occasion." Syaoran sighed. "I feel happy a normal amount... but I also feel sad a lot." He said. "I guess we are pretty similar." Kiri nodded. I guess. She thought. She stepped up onto the cage, fixing the microphone. Very few people stood below the stage, staring up at her. She tapped the microphone and cleared her throat, before she began strumming the guitar. She strummed for a while, before beginning to sing.
Is this as bad as it gets, or is it gonna get better?
Is this some kind of test, or will it be like this forever?
'Cause I ain't ever see a cloud this dark
And I ain't ever been down this far
Is this as bad as it gets, or is it gonna get better?
I know ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself, cause I can't tell
If this is hell or just high water
Is the tide gonna turn, or will it keep on rising?
Is it all gonna burn, and it strikes like lightning?
'Cause I'm fighting and I'm just
Hangin' on to any thread of hope
Wonderin' if I should just let go
Cause it's killin' me to just keep on climbin'
Lookin' for a silver lining
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself cause I can't tell
If this is hell or just high water
Oh, will it ever be over
Oh, am I two-steps back, or one step closer
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high and the flames get hotter
But I'm myself
Cause I know dang well
That this ain't hell
It's just high water
High water
It's just high water
Kiri sighed, stepping off the stage as the few people clapped. She set the guitar back in its case, latching it shut and then heading into the city with Syaoran following. Where do we go? She thought. She turned to Syaoran. "Where do you want to go?" She asked. He shrugged. "I'll see you in the morning, though." He said. Kiri nodded. "See you in the morning."
