InterARK - Ep 2

(episode 1 is in dodo section)

---???---

Mia wandered around aimlessly, the sand felt like hot coal on her feet. She spotted a bird, a dodo bird to be exact.

The dodo was near a few bushes, said bushes had a few bushels of berries of all sorts of colors.

The dodo was picking at the bush, only picking out the purple berries.

Mia, having not eating dinner, was hungry, and if the berries were good enough for the dodo, it was good enough for her. On second thought, the berries could be poisonous, and the dodo could be the koalas of this world.

But you win some, you lose some, so Mia ran and scared away the dodo, the sound of petrified squaks slowly fading because dodos can't run very fast.

Mia picked out all of the berries, and decided to eat a few. She decided to eat the black ones, since they looked the most delicious.

After she ate some (or, rather, the whole bushel), she suddenly felt very sleepy, and fell asleep (unwillingly).

When she woke up, it was nighttime. Great.

She was still drowsy from eating the black berries, so she didn't think when she saw the red eyes glistening in the moonlight.

High pitched chirping came from the farther away bushes, and suddenly, it clicked; Mia was being hunted. The chirping became louder as more eyes were revealed.

Mia tried to quickly get up, but stumbled and lost her balance, sliding down the sand.

One pair of red eyes crawled out from the darkness revealing sharp teeth and a crested head.

Two more crested heads emerged from the darkness, and screeched, revealing frills on the side of their heads.

Mia quickly got up again, this time with success. She ran across the glistening beach, and into the forest, the sounds of hungry dilos keeping up.

No matter how fast she ran, the frilled creatures always kept up, suddenly she heard the leader screech and spit acid towards her. Luckily, Mia ran fast enough to dodge it.

She looked behind her, and saw... nothing..?

Rule number 4 of all horror movies is don't stop running, even if you think your alone; that being said, Mia kept running.

She found herself on a different beach, she slowly sat down, keeping an eye on each of her sides

Thoughts spiraled in her head, did she really survive THAT? Where even is she? What.. were those things?

Mia shook her head, trying to get disturbing thoughts out of her head.

She curled up in a ball (still sitting), since she was cold. Wait, she was semi-naked so.. um.

She heard a low grumble nearby, and looked around, panicking.

Oh wait, it was just a triceratops.

The trike was just wandering around aimlessly. Maybe not aimlessly.

It's frill was glistening in the moonlight, so pretty!

Mia soon realized that the things that were chasing her were Dilophosaurus. "Wait, no that couldn't work.. those are extinct," Mia thought.

But.. maybe.. that wouldn't be too unbelievable, I mean, a triceratops is walking around basically in front of her.

That brought some MORE questions. Is she in a place were dinosaurs are still alive? Is time travel real? Will she be crushed by a meteor tomorrow?! ...Or is this all a dream?

All of this wondering... all of these questions... if Mia didn't find out something, ANYTHING, as to where she is.. she would basically go insane, or if worst comes to worst, die.

Mia slowly got up, thinking about what she should do on this people-deprived island. One thing for sure, is that she needs weapons and protection. And food. And water.

Mia went to a fallen tree, and, almost upon instinct, punched it.

Ow. Mia grabbed her knuckles in pain. Punching a tree is a no-go.

Mia walked away from the fallen tree and found some leaves attached to a long stick. She picked the leaves and stick up and walked back to where the trike was, and sat it down.

This went on for, an hour? She had collected many sticks, leaves, stones, and- yeah you get the idea.

The sun wasn't going to rise for awhile, so Mia decided to try and craft something, but what?

"Okay," Mia said to herself, "what to do? I could craft something like... a spear? But what happens when I spend too long crafting a spear? What happens when those creatures come back, a-and I have nothing but a stick?!" Mia continued to mutter on, what she didn't notice was that she was biting her nails, and she bit the pink part, the pain snapped her back to reality.

The triceratops grunted, and started to walk towards the pile of materials.

The trike shuffled through the pile, and took out a stick, and sat it away from the pile.

"Hmm," Mia muttered.

She picked up the stick, "Well, I guess I have you for protection," Mia chuckled at the trike.

She began crafting a 'spear', putting thick sticks on top of eachother, tieing them together with thatch. She put the sharpest rock she could find on top, and tied the rock to the sticks.

Behold! A spear as efficient as eating water with a fork!
