Ferra’s Dream

Chapter 25

“Ready to go?” She asked her brothers. Puliki nodded excitedly “Yup!” He chirped. Tahi smirked at his excitement. Ferra began to walk, she flicked her tail for her brothers to follow.

Ferra sat watching Tagulavai mope around. If he really believed in what he saw, why hasn’t he tried harder to convince others of it? Wouldn’t that be the most logical thing to do? She wondered, picking up a handful of snow with her lower right arm. She shifted through it with her fingers as she thought.

Suddenly, she swung her head around. “Need anything Pualau?” She asked a light colored ferox. Pualau jumped at the mention of her name. “Oh. Um. Sure, could you get some things for bedding? Me and Fawi were watching almost all the cubs yesterday and they tore up both our nests.” She explained. Ferra nodded briefly “Sure” she replied before walking off.

Ferra walked through the snow, luckily it wasn’t very deep today.

Ferox nests were mostly made of snow, but they often put things like feathers, fur, moss, and leaves to make it more comfortable and warm. Although, ferox only really sleep in nests if they have a young cub, or cubs, or wants to sleep alone. Otherwise, they usually just sleep in groups, using each other for warmth.

Ferra spotted a bush not far off. She walked up to the bush and sniffed, making sure there was nothing living inside of it. After a moment, she decided it was safe to gather leaves from. She crawled under the bush, hoping to find some leaves that were protected from the weather and freezing temperatures.

Chittering and clicking sounds could be heard coming from nearby. Ferra’s ears perked up and she stumbled out of the bush, she used her mouth to hold the bundle of leaves she had collected. Ferra followed the sound curiously and cautiously. She hadn’t heard anything like it before, she stumbled back as she saw the tall creature.

The creature smelled like element and reminded her of the tek stegos and paras she’d see occasionally. It looked like it was made of a similar material. This creature looked like some kind of skinny diplo, with big ears, a beak, hooves, and a short tail.

A transparent blue ring formed around the creature's legs, then began to expand. Ferra jumped as the ring passed through her, she dropped a few of her leaves. The ring disappeared after expanding a little more.

The thing turned its head in Ferra’s direction and began to walk toward her. The tall, eyeless, creature loomed over her. The creature looked down and pointed its beak at her. The creature Tagulavai spoke of. She thought in the midst of her panic. She began to back away, but it was too late.

Cya later!
