Chapter 14 ~the cave of the hunter~
“Th-they ARE carnivores.. GET THEMM!” The amargasaurus yelled insanely, the sea serpents slithered away on all fours and the avians flew away as fast as their wings could carry them, the amargasaurus’s spikes glowed orange and shot out at the group, near-missing them and setting the forest floor aflame. “These guys are fast, for sauropods!” Nash said. “Yes they are!” Skyla said. “How do we lose em!” “Umm, OH yes now I remember, the amargasaurus are afraid of the caves!” “Why?” “They believe the artifacts are the prized possessions of some great predator or something!” “Wow these guys just keep getting kookier..” they continued fleeing for a couple minutes until Seascale said; “there! a cave!” They fled towards it as fast as they could. “Oh NO you d-don’t!!” The amargasaurus yelled, he shot a spike at them and it hit right next to Seascale, blasting fire at him, “Agh!” He cried, his men immediately slithered back to him and carried him into the cave under heavy fire. “AHGHGSHSGISHSNAGZGAHAFAGAJAGGSJAVAYAYSBSFGAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!” The lead amargasaurus yelled, then he bashed his neck into one of the other amargas for no reason..
“Now what? We can’t go back outside, what do we do?” Nash said. “This is the cave of the hunter, it has two entrances, but we’ll have to go through the entire cave to get to the exit..” Skyla said. “Oh lovely..” Nash said. “What do we do about Sseasscale? He needss medical attention, severe burnss and a cut,.. he may bleed out..” a sea serpent said. “There are some herbs in this cave that could help, but they are further in, do what you can to slow the blood flow then we must move.” Skyla said. “So what dangers await us in this cave?” Nash said. “Spiders and bats mostly.” Skyla said. “What bats? Big or little?” Nash said. “Hmm bigger than us.” “Human or gigantopithicus sized?” “Uhh human.” “Ooh not good my friend Jaxz told me tales of that breed vicious rabid creatures.” “Yes pretty much, how about the bigger ones? Are they dangerous?” “Ohh ya, well usually, my friend Jaxz is actually one of them and he’s a good bat, can’t say the same for any other desmodus I’ve met..” “hmm maybe I’ll have to meet this “good bat” someday.”
Whoever said to tame a Diplocaulus from the dungeons, you are a GENIUS! I killed 2 of these in some random dungeon and harvested their implants, then I died in the dungeon and respawned at my base, got some Amber from ads, took my lvl 51 pteranodon to the red obelisk, revived it, flew it back to my base, and now I have a beautiful color changing Diplocaulus named Ultraviolet

Chapter 42: Filler
“Yummy,” Loki muttered as he took a bite out of his steak. He and Mr. Mo was sitting at a large table that was situated at a pavilion. Many other residents of the snowy settlement were also eating, and all the food had been prepared on a giant grill created by Dr. Aston. Using the plentiful resources of the north (one reason why Mr. Mo settled here), they managed to mine plenty of oil and metal, allowing them to build a fabricator.
Surrounding Loki were many troublemakers, troglodytes, and terrorizers of the innocent. They didn’t have much going for them except bothering others, and hurting people. Although there weren’t many of them at Terran High, they were still plentiful.
“They only turned to Mr. Mo because he was an adult. They had no one else to turn to. Back at Terran High they hated him just because he did his job. Even though THEY were the ones in the wrong,” Loki thought, taking another bite out of his steak, “I wasn’t a Grade-A student. Or a role model like the valedictorian Aurora, but, at least I had something going for me.”
Loki solemnly took a drink from his water jar.
“I’m a little mad that I can’t finish the last chapter since I’ve been brought here. Maybe I’ll find another way to finish it some other time.”
As Loki ate his food he looked at the blue Obelisk which hung over the mountain peak. It looked so ominous and foreboding…
“I know what you’re thinking,” Mr. Mo whispered to Loki, “But I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
“If you’ve never seen anything like it, do you think we should investigate it?” Loki asked.
“No, probably not. There could be lots of danger at a place like that. We’ll have to master the tundra before anything else,” Mr. Mo stated, “Which will be difficult due to the lack of crops.”
As the two eat, Mr. Mo laughs a little.
“Ahh, I find it funny that you of all people are the one I like the most here in this place. The kid with the worst grade in all of 12th grade…”
“Hey don’t bring that up man!” Loki shot back, flustered.
“Aw I’m sorry Loki, ya’ know I didn’t mean it. You’re a smart kid, Loki. I’m glad you’re on my side.”
Mr. Mo clenched his fists again.
“You know, your stories remind me of something…”
Loki stared at the implant that was engraved in Mr. Mo’s wrist. He didn’t know what it did, nor did he know what the implant that he had did. Everyone else did something. Brad could blind people and some other kid could extend his nose whenever he told a lie (something he thought was really cool).
But for some reason, Loki and Mr. Mo’s implants didn’t really serve a purpose.
Darkness soon began to consume the tundras, as the Sun dipped below the horizon. Everyone begins to head off to the cabins to go to sleep, and Loki is last, watching the expansive, snowy plains with wonder. Off in the distance, a pack of wolves roam. Loki smiles at the sight, a reminder of his past stories engraved still in his mind.
With that, Loki headed to bed.
Live Or Die
Chapter 2: Keep Your Friends Close, And Your Knife Closer
After I tied the flimsy plant-based ‘clothes’- even if they were just fibrous messes around my no-touch zone, I took some of those berries again and ahovelled them down my throat. I shovelled some down the Dodo’s mouth- or rather, it almost took my hand off in its feeding frenzy. The lizard didn’t want any, so it went without a snack except that disgusting lump of off meat- but it seemed to enjoy it. We decided to follow the sand tracks, and judging by the footsteps it was 2-3 people. Friends? Enemies? Well, humans. That’d be a start. As we tracked their steps, we saw half-chewed berries and spear-like weapons, and one had a bloody tip. We went further, and saw smoke. my little Dodo ruffled its feathers, and made its way to a nearby rock, where it squarked and panick-strickenly looked at me, back over the rock and almost fainted. The impact of it falling off the rock woke it up again. My dino sniffed the air and flapped its frills- and so I took a peek ober the rock. There was a campfire, and 4 people sat around it, with proper fibre clothing- as in, not my mess by my waist. As the centrepiece was a suspended, roast Dodo on a spit. I found a nearby stick and walked over the rock.
As I walked closer, one of them noticed me- and they picked up one of the sharp spears and pointed it me. Then, a girl picked up a clumsy bow and pointed what looked vagely like an arrow. I knew it wouldn’t fly. The first person, who turned out to be a he, grunted and snarled at me. My dino was keen to fight for that roast, and rushed over the rock to help me. The Dodo followed more out of fear that they might sneak up behind it rather than courage to help me. I didn’t blame it, either. Then a male voice spoke from behind the campfire:
“Hey! Don’t just kill them! Look,” he said, revealing himself- a man in his late 30s with greying hair and cracked glasses. He had a rock to sharpen the sticks, and no other weapon. “They’re a friend, another person- not an animal.” He approached me, and the dino drew back, ready to pounce. The man reached out to shake my hand and I waved the dino down. We shook hands and the Dodo fainted AGAIN, falling onto my foot. I nudged it awake, but it slumped its head on the ground and made a weird, half-asleep squark by breathing in through its beak. I frowned at it and shook the man’s hand. “I’m Harvey.” he said.
“Isiah.” I said, and saw the others ease. My Dodo rolled down the hill next to their campfire, where it woke up, saw the roast, and fainted. I picked it up and sat down with it on my lap where the man offered me, and the dino slowly edged towards the cooked bird. The Dodo dribbled on my bare chest and I sighed grumpily.
-Hope you liked! In Direbear, I’ll keep writing and decide a name for the Dodo. See you there!

The tale of the shadow phoenixes
Chapter eleven.
Cole could hardly wait for the switcheroo to end. Not only did he want Arianna back but also his toes were hurting. It was clear that Tabitha had NOT been taught to dance. She continued to step on his toes with her heels. And the worst part? The worst part was that she didn’t realize she was stepping on them…or she just didn’t care. Finally, mercifully, the switcheroo ended and Cole caught Arianna.
The ball finally ended. Tom danced with Leah all night long(except for during the switcheroo). He walked her home, still holding hands all the way. Leah seemed like a very nice girl and she liked to talk with Tom. “Yeah, I find Sirens very strange. Do you think they are real?” Leah asked. Tom shrugged. “I wouldn’t doubt it, after all of dinosaurs are real why can’t Sirens be?”
Finally they came to Leah’s house. “Well.. goodnight Tom. I enjoyed our time together.” Leah said sweetly. Tom smiled. “Any time.” Tom replied.
Once Tom reached his house he quietly crept past his parents room and his Jenny’s room up to him and James’ room. He opened the door and closed it behind him. “You’re late.” James said. Tom looked up to see his brother lying on his belly in the top bunk reading. “And YOU are supposed to be studying. I already finished studying…mostly” Tom said smugly. James placed his bookmark carefully in the book, muttering something about “poor Aurora, she’s so lonely.”. “I am.” James said, pointing to his desk. Tom looked at the desk, where a shadow sat reading a book about magical fungi and plants. Tom sighed. “You know that you’re not supposed to use your power like that.”
James smirked. “Yeah, but nobody knows so…who’s gonna tell?” James asked. “Um… I know…so I guess…me.” Tom said. James frowned. “You’re such a tattletale Thomas and to think you’re gonna be a king.” Suddenly they heard footsteps in the hall, heading toward their room. Tom ran over to his bed and opened “magical creatures and where to find them”. James disappeared for a brief second and appeared right where his shadow used to be. Someone knocked on their door. *Knock,knock* “come in.” Tom called. The door opened and a young girl about ten years old stuck her head in. She had long dark red hair and brown eyes. “Mom asked me to make sure that you two were studying and were home from the ball.” Jenny said. “Okay, thanks Jenny.” James said. “Bye.” She said, beginning to shut the door. Then she stopped and ran in. She hugged her brothers goodnight. “Goodnight.” She said, the hurried out the door, closing it behind her. “We’d better head to bed.” Tom said. James nodded. “Okay, you don’t tell mom and dad about me using my power to study and I won’t tell them about you staying out past our curfew to hang out with Leah.” James said. Tom blushed but nodded. “Fine. Deal. James disappeared again and reappeared on his bunk. “Good night.”
“Good night.”
Hope y’all are enjoying! I’ll be working on the next chapter!

MY POOR DIPLOCAULUS it was early on ark when me and my argy where flying to another island to go get some metal that time I had a lot of pets I had trike a sarco a carno a those off brand brontosaurus that only push you I had a lot more pets but I’m not typing all of that anyway after me and my argy came Back there was a baryonix or how ever you spell it in front of my base I knew I was safe since I had all my Dino’s but then it roared and started attacking something in the water I wondered what it was and I pulled out my spy glass i then realized I forgot I put my DIPLOCAULUS ON WONDER mode so then the baryonix killed it a was furies with a shot gun in my hand I whistled to my pets target but then I realized it was at 7 health and my pet diplocaulus was a warrior I then shot it and killed it. mural of the story don’t put your pets on wonder if they are weak
Here’s something people should know if they are
A.Looking to tame a Diplocaulus
B.Just now able to access the Dungeons
I found my two Diplocauluses within the dungeon known as Cloven Burial grounds. But before you go, stock up on amber (click the amber icon in your inventory twice every 15 minutes and click on the video ad button) as they cannot be tamed inside of the dungeons so you have to kill them and harvest their implant, followed by reviving them using it. This is what I did. When revived from the dungeons their highlighted areas change color. I recommend going to the red obelisk as it is the safest journey of the three obelisks. Once tamed, I named my diplocaulus Violet Spectrum for her changing color. Upon bringing her home she looked lonely to me, and I didn’t want to give her a normal Diplocaulus to befriend just yet because her changing color isolated her from the rest of her species. So I went back to the red obelisk, went back into the Cloven Burial Grounds dungeon and from their the whole process repeated. Eventually I found a Diplocaulus shortly after killing a Moschops that I now wish I had harvested his implant. I ran up to the Diplocaulus, a beautiful male, who’s highlighted areas were currently light blue (comparable to cyan) and I killed him as they slowly went to a green color. By the time I have harvested his implant, his highlights are showing a shade of blue that could be used in a blue screen, particularly his belly (he flipped over when he died). From their I left the dungeon and respawned at the red obelisk, where Violet Spectrum had been patiently waiting for me. From their I revived the male Diplocaulus that I had killed earlier, and gave him the same treatment as I had given her: bola, tranq and feed. He, unlike Violet, ended up needing a few bio-toxins to keep him asleep, but nothing too much. Once he was tamed, I named him Neon and we all went home. To this day Neon and Violet Spectrum live in harmony in a place known as The Hidden Lake (it’s in the North parts of the island, close to the snowy areas but not in them).
Hopefully you enjoyed and hopefully it helps you if you are looking to tame a Diplocaulus, for whatever reason (Pet, Underwater Journey Helper, etc.)
Dodo Tales (S2 cha- I mean Ep8)
Rick walked up to a locked door. He kicked it down. "What the hell?!" He said as he inspected the old room. "Wow...this is just...weird" an old crown was on the wall. "I remember when this place was a monarchy" he then found a letter on the ground. It said:
Dear Bob, (a reference for Bob the writer)
I hate to inform you that the king is dead, killed by someone unknown. The prince disappeared soon after, we can't find him anywhere. His best friend said he couldn't have run away, yet here we are. The bottom line is that we can no longer trust our monarchs.
The prince did not run away alone. We assume he left with...followers if you will. We were told he had another friend that disappeared as well. We need to track dow-
That's all Rick could read before being interrupted
"Uncovering old secrets I presume. I'm afraid they are not yours."
Rick's eyes widened
"Y- you-"
"Yes"
"You must now be silenced. I hope you understand."
"Not again"...
Steelslaughter here. I have a diplocaulus I named “Bomber”, and I just have him around as a companion. After long days of caving or hunting, I just sit on the seashore with him and my archaeopteryx,”Emerald”, and watch the sun set. A diplocaulus is just as important as any other life.
I saw my first one after reading about it and I was so disappointed because it was level 28 and I was level 38 and flying around with my new pt so I picked it up and tried to bring is to herbivore island but it was killed by a Meg before I could knock it out so I went back for another one that was level 3 and tamed it then named it axolotl
I had one of these named Fish. Me and Fish traveled everywhere together, swimming across the great deep depths of the ocean and collecting resources. I once went into a pretty dangerous area while riding Fish but thankfully got away on little stamina. Once we arrived on land, I was immediately attacked and killed by a high level raptor. Once I respawned, I immediately rushed back to where I died, thinking I had lost my best friend forever. But surprisingly, I found Fish had survived and killed the raptor. Fish had barely any health left but still survived. Me and Fish still explore the great depths today, however now with more caution
I would go around the swamp and see these little guys getting absolutely demolished by every carnivore around,so I made it my priority to save them.I went into the swamp looking for a male and a female,took me 3 hours to find both.I made a small enclosure with water and plenty of space for them to walk around worry free,I also added frogs,snails,and dimetrodons so that they don’t get lonely.I know have 3 adults and 1 baby,and I plan on making a booger space for them to thrive in.Yes,that how much I love these creatures
Under the waves: chapter nine
The megachelon surfaced from the water, moving silently to the light blue sand shore. Almost as soon as they settled down, an enormous red crystal wyvern with a skull atop her head landed, fuming. “What did you do? Do you know the danger you just put us in?!” She roared. “Calm down, Queen Ruby. It had to be done.” The megachelon said coolly. “You just told one of the strongest of the others the prophecy that they shouldn’t have been told untill they learned their powers.” Ruby snarled. “The portals have been open already, and creatures from the different worlds are already going through. They should be prepared.” Said the megachelon. “And what about the other? Trench, was his name?” The queen hissed, inches from the megachelon’s face. “He is part of the prophecy as well.” The megachelon said. “They will find each other, and they must know why the humans are hunting them.” They continued. Ruby snarled in response. If she was a fire wyvern, you would be able to see the smoke pouring out of her snout and ears. Suddenly the megachelon pressed they’re eyes closed, scowling. “Well, I can’t stop you from doing it. If I killed you, the entire isles would fall into chaos. But it won’t be as easy as you think it will be.” They said, taking on a more hostile tone. Ruby gave a sly grin. “That’s the annoying part about your powers. You know what I’ll do to you before I do it.” Suddenly, Ruby was latched onto the megachelon’s back, nipping at they’re spinal cord. The megachelon hissed and bucked the queen off it’s back, before nipping her wing. “You knew this would happen eventually, slate.” Ruby said. Then, before slate could even blink, queen Ruby had slit a wide, bloody smile across slate’s throat.
