I had two deinonychus and they had a child that I named Junior. Junior leveled up quickly from 40 to 50 but then I couldn't upgrade is weight as I was too heavy to get carried by him so therefore I couldn't take him out to hunt things so once he could run and carry me, I found two trikes so I thought I'd kill them to get some XP for Junior. Yet I didn't know that would be a mistake. I didn't bother looking in my spyglass for the level because I thought it's a trike versus my deinonychus of course I'm going to win. So I left my base to kill them. I liked one of them but little did I know that the final one was a max level vs my level 60 Junior. We battled valiantly but Junior still died and I barely escaped one I got discounted. Once I escaped and got to my base, I got mounted Junior's mother so she could avenge her son and we gave that trike the most painful death I could give it. Once it was dead. I took Blue back to base and went back and dragged Junior's body back home, took his saddle off so he could rest comfortably, and placed a gravestone at my base so he'd be with me all the time.

RIP Junior

Once open a time…ah forget it.

So I had a bunch of deinonychus eggs (like 9) I got them all from using a bait technique so I hatched them all

Turns out I suck at being a parent because only 1 survived *-*

I named it snowy and it died to a raptor the next day.

I just got 3 new eggs and I named the babies Denise Deborah And Destiny. They died to a raptor as well. I just got 2 eggs and one had triplets. I lost them all today. I still have 1 egg to hatch.

God I suck at being a parent.

1 up = 1 R.I.P to those who have not made it past childhood T-T

A lonely rock drake walked into The crowd moving to the Abberation Trench on Valgrueo. They arent allowed to come, so he snuck in. The crowd walked and finally came to there. They moved in just as a baby raptor was born. Said raptor loved to adventure, so the little raptor and his siblings from across the map walked to the trench. The other two died fighting a giga (they grew up along the journey) but the little clever female escaped. She walked and saw the trench, and went in. As she was clever, she escape bigger predators. She walked into the mushroom forest and saw a rock drake, a male who looked sad. They talked and apparently the rock drake, named Zoomer, had lost his family before hatching. The humand took him but dropped him whilr they were fighting something. The raptor, named Cinder, told him about how she and her sibs were adventurers, but they died coming here. They became friends, and then mates. Zoomer died fighting off a bunch of karkinos and defending the nest. Cinder escaped with the eggs and made it to the White Cliffs, settling in and hatching the eggs. They turned into deinonychus and lived across the map. The spirits of them lived on and watched as their descendants killed every last survivor venturing in their territory.

I had managed to snatch an egg that had level 140 parents had was excited to hatch my first Deinonychus and took it back to my house and then put down a bunch of standing torches to warm the egg. I went to drop the egg in the middle of the torches and looked and saw the egg had not been dropped. Then I heard a heart dropping munching sound and realized that I had eaten the egg! Moral of the story: make sure you press Left trigger and not Right trigger on console when dropping eggs you plan to hatch!

The Extinction Of Humans chapter 2: Two Friends Meet

As mentioned in our last chapter,deinonychus were really invasive and killing everything. By now most of the earth was covered by deinonychus. Except one place: the deep sea. The deinonychus were extremely smart so they tried to figure out how to get there. By now their were barely any humans,but there were very few. A kid named harry wanted to stop the deinonychus,but he didn't know how. As he was thinking in his house,a large deinonychus pounced on the glass window,latching on and trying to get in. Harry was extremely afraid, and he hesitated because he knew of the power of deinonychus. But just as he thought he was doomed,the deinonychus looked afraid and ran away. Harry had no idea why such a horrifying creature would be afraid. He looked around. As he was looking,he saw a another kid. The kid came and said: "You okay?" Harry stood up and said:"Who are you?"The kid said: "Adam" Harry: "How did you scare away a deinonychus?" Adam:"Using this" It was a flashlight,deinonychus fear it when the light enters their eyes. They have excellent vision, so turning on a flashlight in their eye would damage it. Harry: "How do we stop the deinonychus?" Adam:" We must kill the mother of all these deinonychus,the first deinonychus who was born from the experiments in jurrasic Ark (the dino park we mentioned in chapter 1) using a microraptor,a raptor,a rock drake and a thylacoleo". "I think it's hidden behind a waterfall in fjordur in the vannaheim biome". Harry: "We should go their, but how?" Adam: "I know". (Adam calls a quetz) This is pretzel,my quetzalcoatlus. I built a house on his platform saddle a week ago". "We will live on him on our journey" Harry: Let's go!

The Obelisk

-Chapter 28-

Jethezzar stepped back.

“Wrath,” he called.

A black Ravager stepped forward. “Yes, sir?”

“Find this…. Needlesss,” He ordered her. “Start a search by where he fought Ripper.”

“Yes, sir!” She said. She scampered away to the others.

“And make sure he meets the same fate as Peeri,” Jeth snarled. He paused. “In fact, find ALL her followers. Every single carnivore that believes and trusts in this prophecy of hers. And don’t stop until there are none left who breathe.”

Wrath stood up on her back legs and howled wildly, and the rest of them howled in unison. One after another, the Ravagers ran for the exit of the cave.

You think you’re so smart, Peeri.

We’ll look at where you are now.

Who’s laughing this time?

***

All acrossed Fjordur, creatures are dying.

Carnivores are slowly disappearing. Bodies are found acrossed the lands, and badly scarred Ravagers are caught fleeing the scenes.

Are the Ravagers taking over? Are they planning on overrunning the Terror birds?

If so… why are they killing innocent creatures, who seem to have nothing in common?

Carnivores are whispering to one another…

Are these targeted carnivores? Or just random victims?

Or is something more sinister going on here?

The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter three.

They went a little bit into the forest to play hide and seek. Leah volunteered to count. She covered her eyes and began to count to one hundred. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve….” Leah counted on while the others hid. Arianna hid in a bush, Cole hid behind a large tree, Tom hid behind a bush, and James….climbed into a tree and hid up there. “….ninety seven, ninety eight, ninety nine, and one hundred! Ready or not here I come!” Leah yelled. She began looking around till she came to the bush Tom was hiding behind. “Hmm…who could this be?” She said slyly. “Tom! You can come out! I see you!” Leah said. Tom came out. He turned very red. “Was i the first one found?” Tom asked. Leah nodded. Tom sighed. “Don’t worry, you can help me find everyone else.” Tom’s face brightened. They began searching again and in a few minutes they found Arianna then Cole. “Now there is only James left.” Leah said. “Ok guys let’s spread out!” Cole said. They all went in different directions and began searching for James. Eventually they all gathered together underneath a tall oak tree. “I can’t find him.” Tom said. “Me either.” Cole said. Everyone nodded their agreement. “Then there’s only one thing to do.” Leah said. “James you won! Everyone has been found and we can’t find you!” Leah yelled, her voice echoing through the forest. No answer came back. “Why isn’t he answering?” Arianna asked. Suddenly a pine cone “fell” and bonked Arianna on the head. “Ow!” She cried out. Arianna rubbed her head. “Ugh a pine cone.” Another hit her on the head again. Then another hit Cole. Another hit Leah, then Tom. “There’s no way those pine cones are hitting our heads without missing.” Tom said. They all looked up to see James perched in the top of the oak tree, grinning. “Come down!” Leah called up to him. James carefully slid down the tree. “You could have been hurt!” Arianna exclaimed. James scoffed. “Yeah right, stop acting like my mother.” James said. Arianna huffed. “I think we should probably head home now.” Tom said. And so they went home, agreeing to meet again the next day.
