Chapter 6: No War Is Ever Won
On my slow walk back to the others, I couldn’t stop worrying. A scar on his face- what was it from? Was he here? How did he kill those humans? And that Rex? What if he was in our pack? Or if he killed someone? By the time all these thoughts had flooded over my head, I was back at my pack. Despite their drowsiness, they saw my worry.
“Hey… Serena,” one managed through a yawn. “Are you alright?” My nervous looks contrasted my reply.
“Yeah… I-I’m fine.” I wandered off to a rock a little further away from the crowds, but not too far from the others. I sat, worrying my feathers off.
It was dusk, sunset. I hadn’t taken part in a hunt. I was hungry but that didn’t matter. I was too nervous and tired for it to matter. I was staring out to the setting sun, it’s orange and rusty-hue easing my eyelids to close. Barely visible, I noticed a little lump, or rock in the centre of the sun. Slowly, it got larger. Clearer. I saw, through my heavy eyelids, a swishing, swaying tail… a steady, constant pace… a feathery, reptilian body… and a long scar across the right cheek of his face. About 50 metres away, and holding his ground as the top of the sun set over the horizon. He was there. It was him! I panicked, my eyes flew open and I sprung to my feet. He started to sprint towards me, his teeth bared and his claws outstretched, I ran back at him, my teeth gritted together, my claws ready to plunge into my attacker’s chest. I leapt up towards him but he leapt higher, pinning me down by my neck with one arm and my tail with the other, putting a claw over my feet so I couldn’t kick him. I snarled and tried to bite him, but I was helpless. Then I got a decent look at his face, and I stopped. I couldn’t believe it.
“I guess I’ve got some explaining to do.” I saw the look of shock on Serena’s face. I let go so that she could stand up, and she scrambled to her feet and rushed to hug me. I felt her tears in my side, dampening my feathers and turning this already cold night colder- but the warmth of her chest was all I needed. All I wanted was to spend this moment with her forever. Through sobs, she managed,
“Tyrone! Oh… Tyrone!” But I silenced her gently, hushing her. She wept into my side the whole night. By the time it was morning, my side was soaking and she was huddled up, nestled in my side. When she finally woke up, she asked one word:
“How?” So that’s when I guess I started to tell her about what happened. What I had been through.
-Hope you liked! Hopefully I’ll be able to put out the next part soon!

Sup Ranger, lol I also need coffee rn. Advice for a writer? Well, honestly you are already great. But if yur planning on making another story? Take a lot of time to think about it. That’s my best advice. The Obelisk was not something I thought enough about, so now I’m kind of stuck with a story that’s first half is pretty cringe and resulted in a few plot holes. My future stories, however, (Can’t wait to write Pandora, Clans and See rahh) I had time to think about.
Listen to music, take inspiration from other books and movies, and add some creativity. Once yur imagining scenes in yur head, grab some character personality ideas and fill in the gaps! If it fella empty, add things. If it feels too full, slow down a bit of the plot and remove some unneeded things.
Romance, death, twists and turns are great to keep readers in! Hope this helps at all lmao, just some of the firsthand bits my teenage self uses. Bye!

Good work on your book, Moon, over I think 60 chapters? That’s longer than one of the Harry Potter books. Impressive. I try to support some fanfictioners, though this may sound rude, the bad thing about some Fanfics is the fact that the title isn’t in capitals( example: the blood forest should be The Blood Forest). Anyway, I don’t mean to be rude by any of this.
Keep on writing!

Chapter 20
Alisa sliced the oxygen tube, causing it to swell and close. She heard the queen gasp for air, and then fall to the ground. Alisa stabed a part of the throat and slice a hole big enough for her to fit. She climbed out and immediately said:
"Thats was the most disgusting thing i have ever done in my entire life."
Alisa looked at goon and Diana, confused by their shocked faces.
"What, did you really think i jumped into the wyverns mouth without a plan?" Alisa said jokingly.
Diana rolled her eyes and ran to alisa and hugged her.
"You better not leave me again, it was really lonely."
"Hey, your the one that got to stay with mom and dad, im the one who got abandoned. Plus, you know, we have company." Alisa pointed at goon who was just standing there.
"Oh- well this is awkward. Im diana, Alisa's sister."
Good shook her hand "im goon."
"Well, Goon, you said you weren't from here, right?" Alisa asked.
"Yeah..." goon replied.
"Well, if your interested, i know a way you can go home."

Chapter 19
Goon watched in shock as Alisa leapt into the wyverns mouth. The wyvern queen looked as confused as Goon was. "No!" screamed Alisa's sister. The queen laughed.
And then suddenly she stopped.
Her eyes went wide and her laughter was replaced by a gurgling sound. She was trying to breathe but couldn't. She held her throat and fought for air. Her remaining slaves looked around, frantically trying to think of a way to save her, but they were too late. The shadow wyvern queen fell to the ground completely still.
The shadow slaves scrurried out of the nest and flew away, and there was silence. Alisa's sister let out a wail and Goon dropped his head. He was about to lead the sad deino out of the nest when the wyvern queens throat began to tremble. A small claw poked out from her neck and slid down the throat, making a hole. Alisa's face peeked out.

Chapter 1
Goon hid under the overhang of a large rock, peering up at the sky. He had only been there two days and he already knew this was not the tundra he used to call home. Some of the creatures here looked like stranger versions of themselves. Other creatures he had never even seen before. There was a screech from the sky and the shape of a swarm of unusual looking dimorphodons sped past. Goon had seen the swarm kill off plenty of large creatures to know he needed to stay away from them. He had faced something similar before, and he didn't ever want to go through that again.
The swarm was so large that as they flew past, they darkened the sun, casting an enormous shadow. Finally, the sun returned as the last dimorph disappeared into the distance. Goon waited. Even when it looked safe, more often than not, it wasn't. Here he was, the tyrant of the tundra, cowering under a rock. He didn't have a gang of carnos at his side. He was alone, and alone he was a coward. There was a moment of silence, only broken by the howling of the wind, and then the rock shadow grew, curling and contorting into the shape of a yutyrannus. Goon's shadow jerked its head away from the rock.
All clear.
Goon rushed down the rocky hill into nearby trees. He stopped to catch his breath. The sound of his stomach growling distracted him. He looked down at his shadow expectantly. The silhouette slithered across the ground, blending in with the shadows of the trees. It stopped short of the tree just in front of it. As Goon strained his eyes, he could see an ovis picking through the dead peaves for a snack. Goon grunted. The dimorphodons always picked off the big meals, so this would have to do.
"Thanks," he whispered to his shadow.
The shadow winked back a, 'You're welcome.'

Wow Ranger, the prologue and first Chapter were so good! Very suspenseful.
Im glad that you would tell us your backstory. I almost died when I was born too. One of the doctors was an idiot and almost cut my head open during the C-section. I find it awesome, though, knowing that I’m a survivor and I was a tough one to get out of there.
I have a brother, and BOY can he be annoying as heck. Ah, whatever, I love him anyways. He probably finds me evil a lot of the time.
It’s cool to know you base your character off of yourself, I’ve done that sometimes too with my characters in the Obelisk. I usually just stick a little bit of me in them and then build up the rest.
Your story has so much potential! I can’t wait for more!
P.S. Queen Scarlet is one of my favorite villains. I like to tell people that it’s OK to love and hate her at the same time. Cause I sure do, man. I sure do.
Oh, and did you read my most recent chapters, 59 and 60, of The Obelisk? I’d love to know what you think about the characters I mentioned!
—Moon 😋
Ingenious, Moon, absolutely ingenious. And the reason I’m both is the fact that I hated being TheRaptorMan, I was a tad of a jerk. I felt I needed to drop that side of me. So, really, I’m neither. Thanks for calling me out from that, Moon, it really helped. I’m sorry I lied to y’all but really, I’m neither, yet both. I know Imma probably get a million downvotes, but that’s OK. I could just be a terrible writer and be hated. And that’s probably what’ll happen, but I guess I’ll lay low for a while. Bye guys.
