Chapter 4
Steven stuffed a handful of charred dodo in his mouth and watched others socialize. Their hunting party had met up with another to settle and take a break. It was safer if they all stayed together. They had taken down two parasuars and a phiomia in total, and they had rustled up some dodos for a snack before they headed back through the dark forest towards camp.
Leo laid down the spear he had been carrying and sat down next to Steven. "Quite the wallflower, aren't you?" he said with a smile. He bit into a dodo drumstick.
Steven shrugged. "None of these people know me, and I don't know them. I can't blame them for not talking to me. Everyone seems so reserved here."
Leo sighed, "It's a dangerous world out here. You have to be careful who you trust."
Steven nodded slowly. "Well, then thanks for taking me in." After a moment of silence he looked back at Leo. "Why did you take me in?"
Leo laughed and threw a bone to the ground. "Looking a gift horse in the mouth, are we?"
"I'm not trying to be ungrateful, it just doesn't make any sense. You just said you have to be careful who you trust. It makes no sense to take me in," Steven looked adept hunters, fighters, and trackers around them. "I'm practically useless."
Leo wagged a finger, "Practically isn't actually. Don't worry, you've got a skill. We've just got to find it." He sat in a thinking pose for a moment before suddenly perking up with bright eyes. He snapped and pointed at Steven, "I know! Ribbon dancer!"
Steven rolled his eyes, cracking a smile. "But in truth," Leo said, supressing his jokester nature, "You've got a good heart. That's why I took you in."
"How could you have known that?"
Leo was silent for a moment. "You remind me of someone. My son." His bright eyes dimmed.
Steven held in a gasp. Leo didn't seem like the type who would be a father, but he did seem like he would make a good father regardless. "Did he die?" Steven asked as sensitivley as he could.
"No," Leo said with a small smile, "I just lost him, when I came here. I truely hope he never sets foot on this acursed Gray Ark."
"What's his name?"
"Alexander." A sad smile crept across his face. "I called him Lex. I haven't seen him in 16 years. He'll be 27 now, and I don't even know if I'll ever see him again."
Steven was about to offer Leo whatever words of comfort he could think of when a ghostly wail errupted from the forest. Roman stood. "The horseman's call. Time to go," he shouted out to the hunting parties. "Eric's party will go first, then Terresa's, then mine. Go."
Steven turned to Leo, "Why are we splitting up? I thought we wanted numbers."
"Out here we do," Leo whispered back, "Out here we face dangerous creatures, but in there…" he pointed to the dark forest, "More numbers means more sound. Sound is how she hunts."
Steven nodded slowly. He had learned to understand who "she" was.

I’m on Ark Survival Evolved Mobile for reference. Putting this under “Story” because it’s a combo of taming and encountering that I’ve experienced, but maybe this will help someone!
These are a long term pain in my butt. I searched for MONTHS before I found one, happening upon it completely unprepared in a place it “wasn’t supposed to be”. Having been entirely unready to tame and also only a level 35 at the time, being the idiot I was, I attempted to tame the darn thing with berries 🤦🏼♀️ DON’T DO THAT. it was miserable. I spent 5 hours trying to tame this thing with berries. Finally, I’d had enough and he was headed straight for a swamp full of titanboas and sarcos so I hopped off, tranqed him, built a heavy duty pen around him, and went off to gather the necessary rockcarrots.
Taming with rockcarrots is the way to go. It took about 15 minutes and the pen ensured he couldn’t really buck me off, nor could we be attacked or eaten by anything, so that was nice.
I have been and still am searching for a female for breeding purposes now.. been another couple months. I’ve found ONE so far aside from the one I’ve got- not even sure if it was female- under the green obelisk on the plains. Sad story, I was so very irritated. Had my Allo set to aggressive so she would help clear out the predators from the area for me- which she does a fabulous job with- however, I was on my Argy and scooped the Equus up with him, intending to carry back to my base for easier taming. Well, somehow I/ my argy dropped the Equus and my Allo killed/ate it as soon as it hit the ground 😭 I haven’t seen another one since. It’s driving me insane!
But typically location wise, they are in the plains near water. 😊

Chapter 2
Steven found himself in a small makeshift camp on the beach, surrounded by serious looking faces. Compared to these people, Zoe and Roman didn't look so bad.
"Look at you," said Quinn with a smile. She was an elderly woman, and surprisingly muscular. Despite her age, she looked like she could take anyone in a fight and would probably win.
"A nice young person. Been a while since we had one of those," she chuckled and looked back at the trio that had brought him here. Leo was the only one who returned the smile.
Roman and Zoe looked like they would still skewer him, no questions asked.
"What's your name, kid?" Quinn asked.
"S-Steven."
"Well S-Steven, welcome to the Survivor's Band. Tell me, what are you good for? Cooking? Cleaning?"
While Steven didn't have much memory, he knew he had no skills in those areas. He didn't know these people. But they were holding weapons and he'd rather be on their side. "I don't know. Whatever you need me to do, I'll figure out how to do it."
Quinn laughed heartily and turned to Roman, "Oh, I like this one." She turned back to Steven. "Well", she said, "we can always use more fighters."
"Actually, I'd rather not fight," Steven stammered. "I'm a pacifist." That much he did remember.
Quinn smile faded for a second, and then return with a hint of smugness. She leaned and closed to Steven. "Let me tell you a story: There was once a guy who found himself in a strange place around strange people. He told them, 'I'm a pacifist!' The next day, he died." She sat back and smiled at her morbid fairytale.
Steven swallowed. "Okay, okay. I'll fight but I'll only kill animals, and only for food."
Quinn leaned forward again. "Let me tell you another story: There was-"
Steven held up his hands. Okay, okay! I get it, but I'll only fight if necessary."
Quinn laughed. "You think I made it here this long by killing recklessly? It'll be necessary."

THE END! up if like it
Ok, here is my story- (Moible), One day on November 18th, 2020, I saw this beautiful, majestic Equus. I had my Argy with me, so I captured it and took it to my base. I used rockacarrots and tamed it in 20 minutes. She was a female and a level 18. I rode her around, then this heckin level 30 Rex comes after it. The Equus was fast, so we escaped. I still have Cookie (My Equus) to this day! Gl taming an Equus.
Ok, Odd mutant here might know me. I was in a Low level server hanging out wondering what I should do of my pursuits. I LOVE HORSES if you know me. So it’s says only 5 rockcarrots? WRONG I took it to my base at the hidden lake and found it on the other side of the island with my argy (rip though) took about 15 minutes to bring it back, took like two seconds for carrots as it said 5, I have too take my mammoth FOR 29 MINUTES TO GET 50 CARROTS AT THE END ONLY HAD 1 LEFT!
(Mobile). Lord I have to agree the females are rarer then unicorns. I have seen many Equus in my day, but all have been male, I have found two unicorns, both male. I gave up after finding 7 males and taming 3 of them. I bought a female for 14 potent dust, gonna breed soon.
P.S. I also bought one male for 30 black pearls, the equus names are Zephr, Grape, Elvis, Raven, and the rare queen; Mirra.
