So I’ve only been on this game for a couple months so I don’t know tooo much about it. Anyways I tamed one of these guys after a failed ichthyosaurus tame. So I was bringing it home with it following my raft because I was to low of level to get the engram for it’s saddle. However, that’s when 7 Megladons come up and attack my Baliosaurus! I thought he was going to die in 5 seconds, but then something strange happened I realized it killed one of the megladons! And then another and then another! It was a monstrosity! I came to help it out (not that it needed any) and finished off the last one for it. Anyways we got home with only a fraction of its health depleted and it killed basically everything hostile on the way. Therefore, this is why you should definitely, as soon as possible get one of these to become your best buddy.

Forgot this was a passive tame, found a level 75 one, shot it with tranq arrows, didn’t notice when it fell unconscious. I wasted a ton of tranq arrows just to remember it’s a passive tame. Now i’m waiting for it to wake up.

Back on my old save I had a basilo named BIG BOI. He was my second best water tame ever and helped me tame a plesiosaur. Sadly after I left the ocean for a bit I never saw him again. I deleted the save out of sadness. 1 like=1 prayer for BIG BOI.

The Terrible Demise of Tortuga

Chapter fifteen.

After the funeral they went home. As soon as they had all gotten inside their house Arianna began to berate them. “What were y’all thinking?!” She exclaimed angrily. “Talking during A FUNERAL!!” “We MUST honor the dead with RESPECT!” She yelled. Jay and Jack cowered in the wake of their mother’s anger. “Sorry mom.” They whimpered together. Arianna glared at them. Aragorn put a hand on his wife’s shoulder. She took a deep breath. “I’m sorry I’m just very stressed.” She said to the boys. “I better go make lunch.” She told them, hurrying off to the kitchen. Thirty minutes later the food was done. They all sat down at the table and after they prayed they began to eat. “Um I have a question. Why exactly do we wear black at funerals?” Asked Jack. “Yeah,I hate wearing these stiff black dress clothes, they make me so hot.” Jay chimed in. “You wear black at funerals to honor the dead. And it’s not that bad wearing all black.” Aragorn told them. Jay smirked. “That’s because YOU wear black ALL the time.” Jay told his father. Aragorn have him a disapproving look but the corners of his mouth twitched. “I don’t mind wearing black but I’d rather wear a lighter color, like white.” Emma remarked. “You mean like on your wedding day?” Jack asked. Emma turned almost as red as her hair. “No! I don’t want to marry.” She said. Jack and Jay gave her unconvinced looks. “Ok enough.” Arianna said, rising from the table. “Josephina, Emma do you want to help me with the dishes while we do our music lessons?” Arianna asked her daughters. (The Peterson family taught their kids stuff they didn’t learn in school so basically everything except the history of the arks.) “Oh yes mommy!” Josephina squealed. “Sure mom.” Emma said.

Arianna washed the dishes(nope, no dishwashers) in the sink while Josephina dried them and Emma put them away. As they worked Arianna taught them, which since it was music class they sang: “Grander earth has quaked before, moved by the sound of His voice.” Arianna began. “And seas that are shaken and stirred, can be calmed and broken for my regard.” Emma sung. “—and through it all-through it all my eyes are on you. Josephina sang, struggling sort of because she was still learning the song. “And it is well, with me.” Emma sang. “Far be it from me to not believe, even when I can’t see. And this mountain that’s in front of me will be thrown into the depths of the sea.” Arianna finished. “—and through it all through it all…my eyes are on you, and through it my eyes are on you and it is well…” Josephina sang softly. They continued like this until they had finished the song and the dishes. The boys did not participate because they didn’t prefer singing. “Yay!” Josephina said once they had finished, clapping her tiny hands. “Im glad y’all liked that.” Arianna remarked. “Mommy? Why doesn’t daddy sing?” Josephina asked. Arianna smiled at Emma then scooped up Josephina. “We’ll honey, daddy is a m a n and he doesn’t sing anymore.” Emma cocked her head. “What do you mean “anymore”?” Emma asked her mother. “Well, when your father was young he used to sing a LOT. In fact he and a couple of friends made a “band”.” Arianna said, smiling at the memory. “Wait! I have a picture of it! Here hold your sister.” Arianna said, then handed Josephina over. She hurried down the hall into her room then back into the kitchen. “Here.” She said showing it to them. “See?” Sure enough on the photo was a younger Aragorn holding a guitar. He was with the guy with dark brown hair and brown eyes and…the guy from her dream? Ugh, not again. This guy just kept popping up. He was younger and was playing the drums while the other guy (other than Aragorn) was on the electric piano. “Who are they?” Emma asked. She pointed to the two other teenagers. “That is Cole.” Arianna said pointing to the guy on the piano. “He was one of your father’s best friends .” She added. “And who is that?” Emma asked about the guy from her dream. “Oh him? That is your father’s brother Tom. He’s your uncle” …..

Hope y’all enjoy cliffhangers! Just joking nobody does. Anyway…next chapter coming soon!

Hope’s Cry

Chapter Eleven

Buddy awoke with a start. His mind racing at millions of miles per hour. Buddy looked around. The other animals seemed too be waking up. Dawn sat up and looked around. Her eyes were spinning like she had just been in the worlds most violent roller coaster. Buddy saw that his fur was smoothed down and he felt free of the many fleas that had been bothering him. The double doors opened. Out came over a dozen Gigantapithecus. “Come on! Let’s move.” One said. Buddy and the other animals obeyed. They entered the throne room for which Buddy hoped was the last time. “Everyone line up!” Ember shouted. All the creatures obeyed. “I will be sorting through the animals that will come on the mission… and the ones that will not!” Ember shouted. “We can all hear you perfectly your like two feet away.” Said James and Blaine at the same time.(u will have too look in the previous chapters if you don’t know who that is.) “That’s just downright creepy.” Ember said. “You two are definitely not going.” Ember said. After at least ten minutes there were only eight animals that were going. Buddy, Terenzy, Dr. Ian, Dawn Pryde, a Jerboa named Radar, and the two Pteranodons.(Susan and Greyn) The Gigantapithecus leaded the eight towards a wagon. The wagon was full of barrels that had what Buddy supposed was spices in them. There was just enough room for the eight too sit. Sitting at the front of the wagon was a Gigantapithecus who was going too be the driver. “What’s pulling the wagon?” Buddy asked curiously. “Chailcotheriums.” The Gigantapithecus grunted. “Isn’t that…” Buddy started to say. “There payed for it.” The Gigantapithecus interrupted. Buddy popped open one of the containers. Inside was a black powder substance. “What’s this?” Buddy asked. “Paprika.” Radar answered nervously. “Oh!” Buddy said. What Buddy didn’t know was that Paprika is red… not black.

Under the waves: chapter 5

(Thanks so much for the support! Especially you, sunny fox! <3)

Pearl jumped back, startled. Another plesiosaur! This close to land even. “What… who are you?” She managed to choke out, even though she felt like she couldn’t think straight. The other plesiosaur smiled. “Name’s trench. You?” “Pearl. She responded. “What are you doing here?” She asked, a little confused. “What are YOU doing here?” He countered. “Oh you know, just waiting for these bloody humans to chop off my head and feed me to they’re tames.” Pearl growled. Trench thought about that for a while, before pearl repeated her question. “Well, I smelled you and humans, so I went to investigate.” He said simply. “Can you help me out of here?” She asked him. “of course! Don’t want a fellow plesiosaur dying, and I definitely don’t want the humans to brainwash you and turn you into a brainless beast of burden.” Trench snorted before knawing on the rope net. Pearl joined him, and almost immediately recoiled. It tasted awful, like rotting seaweed and sun-baked corpses. “It’s vermy cheway.” Trench tried to say around the giant rope on his mouth. After a bit of work a decent sized hole gaped in the net, and she wriggled out and took a breath of air, enjoying the morning sun on her face. Wait.. that means the humans will be up soon. She barely had time to finish that thought when one of the humans shook a large bell. In what seemed like seconds, the entire pack of the buggers we’re up and shooting harpoons at them. “SWIM!” Pearl roared, before darting off at top speed. She knew how to evade the human’s projectiles, but apparently trench didn’t as she heard a screech. Bob even stopping to think, she immediately closed her jaws over the human that shot him and flipped the raft upside down, which would hopefully drown the rest of them. Snapping the human in her jaws in half, she spotted trench and swam over to him. He seemed to be having trouble moving, and then pearl saw why. A large tranq dart, lodged right in his neck. She swiftly pulled it out before trying to help him get away from the humans. The rest of the rafts were faster though, so she had to resort to something else. She dragged trench to the surface, took a death breath, and dove down. Down down down, down where the humans can’t follow, and down into the empty abyss that lies beyond.

The Obelisk

-Chapter 14-

Oh.

It was the Kapro from before—Forest could see now—her dull, washed out red scales, her scowling expression, her narrowed, furious brown eyes.

“You followed him here?” Spark bellowed.

“Tracked his scent all night. Like I said. NO ONE STEALS my KILL.”

Forest turned to Rust. The blue and orange deinonychus wasn’t moving. “Rust?”

The Kapro hissed with delight. “My job may already be done. Let me go!”

“No.” Spark growled. “Rust!”

He didn’t answer. Forest hurried to his side.

No. No. He couldn’t be gone. Forest had been starting to like the spunky, feathers creature. “Rust,” he whispered, shaking him. “Rust. Wake up. Wake up, Rust.”

The deinonychus’s tail twitched, and Rust sucked in a breath. He was just unconscious. Two long scratches were bleeding through his feathers, but he was alive.

Forest sighed with relief.

“You’re not going anywhere,” Spark said. She pushed down her foot harder. The Kapro gawped uncomfortably. “He may have stole, but it doesn’t mean you should kill him.”

“I do what I like!” The Kapro growled. “Why do you care?”

“We just do,” Spark said as Forest said, “cause he’s our friend. And we have to save the world.”

The Kapro let out an amused snort. “Rubbish. You’re a sack of lies, aren’t you?” She squinted at Forest. “Then again… it’s a little strange, three carnivores wandering the swamp.”

“Like I said—“ Forest tried, but Spark whacked him with her tail.

Rust trembled lightly, growling in his throat. He jerked his head closer to his chest, like he was having a nightmare.

“Let us go on our way,” Forest said. “ and we can pretend this never happened.”

“Forest,” Spark warned. “You may not know much about Kapros, but I do. They keep grudges. For a long, time.”

The Kapro hissed in response.

“We have to let her go sometime, right?” Forest prodded. He nodded to Kapro. “So let’s just make a deal with her. We’ll never have to see her again, if she lets Rust live.”

“What?” The Kapro shouted.

“Alright. Yeah,” Spark turned to look down at the Kaprosuchus. “I’m gonna let you go. And you are gonna leave. OK?”

The Kapro growled deep in her throat, then nodded slightly. “Fine. Keep your stupid raptor. I don’t care.” And Spark lifted off her talon.

The Kapro jumped up, her eyes glinting.

Please don’t try anything. Forest thought, seeing Sparks glare. Don’t fight.

The Kapro opened her mouth.
