Put one of them on my raft and he started flying up into the sky.

Creatures of Nightmares
Chapter 34
The wolf clung to the wyvern’s tail, thinking of all it had been through. It used to confuse the wolf, but now he understood.
—-
A tan wolf appeared to the soon-to-be-wolf-with-a-cloak.
“Hello,” the tan wolf said.
He curled his tail to reveal a younger version of the wolf.
“That’s.. me?” The wolf asked.
“Young you,” the tan wolf said. “It’s quite confusing, but I’ve meddled with time before. You will go to the future. You will never have any memory of being pulled into the future, which one would expect if young you experienced that. But you will have the memories the young you had once you go to the future.”
The wolf was still confused.
“Do not worry. You don’t have to understand. All you have to do is come with me. You’ll see.”
The wolf set its paw on the tan one’s and they travelled to the future.
“Ack!” The wolf said as memories flooded its mind. Heart wrenching, and sweet, and terrible, and beautiful memories. It half collapsed on the floor.
The tan wolf lifted it up and looked it in the eyes.
“Do not worry, for you are with me. I shall protect you, and in return, you shall protect others.”
The tan wolf pulled out a cloak for the wolf. It put the cloak on.
“Goodbye now,” the tan wolf said. “I will communicate with your mind.” He then paused. “And be patient. I know you remember the wolf from young you’s memories. You will meet that wolf. In time.”
—-
-Young me had taken my place- it thought. -but we are like two different wolves, because I have no memory of being young and led by the tan wolf. We are the same but different.- (lol do u readers understand? It is a bit odd)
The wolf’s cloak billowed in the wind.

Prince wasn’t exactly healing, but was able to fight off the pain and walk around.
Astra looked at his handsome face.
She then looked away.
She had to do this. She knew she had to.
“Prince..” she began to speak. He turned and looked at her as they were walking. “I.. I love you..”
###
Ridley trudged on with the other three. Pax had found them and joined.
“Here we are,” he said, as his paws sank in mud. Jane jumped on his back. “Hey,” he snapped.
“What? I’m not getting my boots dirty..”
They walked through the swamp. “We just have to find a diplocaulus and ask them to get the weed.”
“A Diplo?” Reign asked. “Why would we need that creature? ‘R they something special? Are they the only ones ‘o can get it?”
“Yep,” Ridley said, with a soft sigh. The cold mud felt good between his paws.
A creature soared at them and ripped Jane off Ridley’s back.
Ridley turned around, clawing the Kaprosuchus. It hissed but Ridley killed it in mere seconds, turning to Jane.
She frowned with a deep scratch in her left arm and mud all over her soaked clothes. “Fun times, guys. That was a great experience.” She said sarcastically as she stood up and hopped back on Ridley.
He huffed but softly smiled as they continued looking for a Diplo.
###
Prince’s eyes gleamed.
Astra looked away.
He was confused.
“I..
Love..
You..
As a friend.”
He gulped nervously as she continued.
“I’ve thought about this. You.. you feel more like a brother to me than a lover. You’ve been there for me.. but.. no one can beat Apollo..”
“..I understand.”
She sighed and looked down. “If only he was here..”
Prince nuzzled her head, but not like a lover would do.
Like a brother.

KJ had paused his search near a ridge at the swamp. He silently ate something as he saw a flash of orange.
He sent an arrow flying at Reign.
“Not so fast, are yeh?” She asked, as Jane showed she had caught the arrow moments before it would have hit Reign’s chest. Reign’s words sounded like barks to KJ.
“Gotta say, humans have good aim,” Jane said.
KJ slid down the side of the ridge, splashing water on Jane.
She grimaced at it hit her wound.
The wolf in the cloak followed.
“I’ve been practicing,” KJ said, grabbing Jane’s wrists that were flying at him.
A few humans alighted wyverns out of nowhere and joined the fight.
They didn’t have Astra, so it was chaos.
“I taught you,” said KJ, “but you can’t beat me.”
He thrust a knife in her wound, opening it more.
He kicked her head and she fell into the water.
Pax thrust himself on the humans, knocking them onto a ridge.
“Jane!” Yelled Ridley, but a human blocked his view for a moment. A shadowy creature pulled her down in the water. She disappeared.
Reign was caught by a net and cried, “WHY ARE THEY NETS ALWAYS AIMED AT MEH??!?!?”
She was shot with tranq darts.
“Astra must’ve been the wolf holding us together,” Ridley said, battling a human with his claws. “Or Prince. He wasn’t terrible with a sword.”
Pax was hit with darts, and went out cold.
Ridley was surrounded.
The cloaked wolf pounced on a human and was still invisible.
Ridley saw the humans fall to the ground in seconds to something that could not be seen.
Then the wolf revealed itself as it clawed KJ’s face and made him fall unconscious.
It turned and looked at Ridley under its hood.
Ridley’s heart pounded with fear.
It sauntered toward him and whispered in his ear.
“I’m back,” it said, then it vanished.
Ridley breathed in sharply and tried to look for the wolf.
Was it a relative of his?
Was it one of his friends?
Was it.. Shadow? From another time?
All of these questions flooded Ridley’s mind.
He huffed as he noticed KJ had disappeared with the wolf. So did the other humans.
Reign and Pax woke up.
“Where are the humans?” Reign asked.
“They were taken down and disappeared to a wolf.”
The other two watched Ridley, hoping he had more information.
“The wolf.. it said it’s back.”
Reign huffed. “But who’s been gone that came back?”

Chapter 35
Prince was half distraught, half.. relieved.
He liked Astra, but it seemed they weren’t meant to be. It seemed to give him closure. After all, now he wouldn’t be chasing down Astra’s heart.
Hers belonged to Apollo.
But he was gone.
If Prince could be the “brother” of Astra then he would. They had never really had any romantic moments, even. Just playing around.
-I guess we’ve mainly been like siblings..- he thought.
###
The wolf had transported the humans back to the base and they had no recollection of the incident.
So it had some power.
It watched the humans scattered around their base.
And then its mind went to its memories.
The heart wrenching ones. The sweet ones. The ones he would always remember.
Then there was one memory.
One that always played in its mind, scaring him, but calming him.
It shook its head and focused on the humans, its hooded cloak hiding him in the shadows.
The wolf wondered whether it would ever see the wolves from its memories.
That would be nice.

“We need to find Jane,” Ridley said.
Pax and Reign nodded.
“She had been pulled under the water. We should probably be her size.” He immediately made them humans.
“Again with this? I ain’t loving meh thumbs..” Reign yelped.
“Let’s swim in the water.” Ridley fell back into the water, splashing the other two. They followed him as he swam, using the tree roots as a boost.
A sarco swam in the water near them. They hid behind tree roots as it passed. Ridley led again.
He was looking for some kind of hole, something a size Jane could fit in. Ridley suspected a Diplocaulus had taken her. Of course it would’ve. It would’ve known she was a wolf.
They were smart creatures.

Chapter 37 (or 38)
“It- can’t be you-,” Prince whispered.
“In a.. in a way, yes, I am Apollo. But all I have are the memories.” His voice was cold and sober. He obviously had been through a lot. “No one can know I’m alive.” He said. His face was stern.
Astra had been bewildered when she first saw him. Yet.. this wolf looked like Apollo, had Apollo’s memories.. But how could it be him?
“I’ll be near here to help you all on your mission to Carnivore Island.”
“Wha’ aboot going to meh Cloud Kingdom?” Reign said, flapping her wings.
“That’s the thing.” Apollo said, his voice still sober and frozen. “It’s been attacked. No one knows where your flying wolf kind has gone. Anyways, you don’t have time for a detour.” He stuck out a paw into the snow, and used some kind of white magic to create a map of carnivore island and some numbers above it, going down rapidly.
“The wolf population on this island has been decimated by Tyrannasaurus (is that how you spell it?) Rex and other carnivorous creatures. They need to be rescued, or else we will be the only wolves alive.”
The group looked at Apollo. He seemed.. older. Mature, serious, and had no scars cutting his face. His cloak draped over his back, hiding what would be Apollo’s bright splotches of an array of colors.
And his magic, white. Not manipulation, and no swirls appeared on his back. No one, not even Apollo, knew why these changes had happened. Perhaps it was because he was from another time. Or perhaps it was because this was how Apollo was meant to be, truly.
After thinking hard, sitting in silence, the group nodded.
“What are we waiting for?” Prince said. “Let’s go.”
Back to finish my story! I’m busy the next two weeks tho, so I can’t promise the release date for next chapter, or what the new animal will be. See y’all!

The Obelisk
-Chapter 32-
They had been traveling some time.
A day had passed since they found the rune, and Runheimr towered over them, glistening with mossy redwood trees that looked taller than any plant Forest had seen so far.
The sack felt heavy on his shoulder as they climbed down a small slope, clawing carefully acrossed the loose rocks in the ground.
“This is where my journey ends,” Needles said, stepping down the slope. “I wish you the best of luck.”
“You really have to leave?” Rust asked nervously. Forest felt the same—having a giant, age-riddled Velanosaur with them was actually a bit comforting—nothing would dare attack someone so menacing.
“Yes,” Needles said ruefully, nodding his spiky head.
Forest fumbled with the sack to pull it off his shoulder—bit Needles shook his head. “You can keep it. Maybe the scrolls inside will be useful to you. And you need something to hold that rune.”
“So now what?” Spark asked.
“Find your fifth carnivore,” Needles began. “Complete your mission. One of the scrolls has Peeri’s prophecy written out—it will help guide you.”
Forest bristled with excitement. A prophecy! A real prophecy, about them—he couldn’t wait to read it.
Crimson coughed, and they all turned to her. “Erm… good luck to you too, Needles.”
“Apparently we could trust him after all!” Rust exclaimed, elbowing Crimson in the side. “Yeah, good luck on whatever your doing.”
“Goodbye, little heroes.”
As Needles slowly stomped away, the juveniles all glanced at each other.”
“Umm,” Forest stammered— now what…?
“Let’s go!” Rust roared with enthusiasm. He bolted for the Dark, looming Forest that whispered with noise as if filled with secrets. “Woo-hoo! Runheimr, here we come!!”
Filled with excitement from his friends radiant glee, Forest followed. “To the fifth carnivore!”
“Which we have no idea who it will be!” Crimson added, a bit scornfully. She ran after them.
“I always wanted to see this place!” Spark roared, catching up.
As the four carnivores jumped for the forest, they had complete forgotten… that eyes may be watching them.
Watching their every move.
But not here… surely.. where Needles had said it should be safe… right?
Creatures of Nightmares: Silent Funeral
Chapter 40
Astra could feel her body dragging through the light snow. Her eyes fluttered open, and Bonebreaker must have noticed because she bit down harder on her neck. Astra winced in pain. She couldn’t even move her own body.
“W-where are you taking me?” Astra muttered.
“To my den. A trophy for my collection-”
Bonebreaker paused. Then, she dropped Astra to the ground, licking her lips.
“Well look what the cat dragged in!” Bonebreaker cackled.
Five large Yutyrannus trudged up to them, their bodies more skinny than usual. The Yutyrannus looked at one another, nodding heads, making clicking noises. Bonebreaker grinned, and then kicked Astra in the head.
“Get up.”
Astra saw the Yuty’s, and adrenaline pumped throughout her body again. She rose from the ground, coughing violently. Ice began to collect around her body.
The wolves and Yuty’s stood off for a moment, before Bonebreaker made the first move. She lunged at the pack leader: a Yutyrannus with a blue coat. Latching onto her torso, the blue Yutyrannus flailed around weakly, too hungry to do anything effective. Astra slammed her paw into the snow, and ice spikes shot up into the orange Yutyrannus. The orange Yutyrannus suddenly let out a roar, and Astra’s eyesight narrowed.
Fear overcame her body, and with that, she began to run.
~
“COWARD!” Bonebreaker shouted, unfazed by the Yutyrannus’ fear roar. She tore off a chunk of flesh, and dropped to the ground. One of the other Yutyrannus picked her up by the tail, and Bonebreaker let out a howl of pain as another Yutyrannus tore her body in half.
Bonebreaker was dead.
~
Astra stopped to take a breath, too exhausted from the fight with Bonebreaker to do any good. She could see a cave up ahead. Weakly, she trudged up to the entrance, and then collapsed in the warmth inside.
There was a cozy feeling inside.
It reminded her of a time far, far away. A time that never existed.
Astra passed out.
