Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 15
The bed itself was rather simple, the blankets, pillows, and sheets all being white, but they were at least thick and fluffy for warmth. She rubbed the base of her neck and sighed “what’s wrong?” Rasped a masculine voice ringing in her ears. “Great One” she muttered. “I told you that you may call me by my name, we are equals.” It reminded her. “Yes'' she paused and gulped “Rockwell'' There was silence for a moment as if it was contemplating something, then it replied suddenly “what’s troubling you?” It asked again. “I-I don’t think the others understand the importance of this project. Most of them barely know how to handle the element. I don’t know how any of them managed to survive the arks before this one. I’ve had to do most of the work, I’ve been more of a teacher than a scientist. The few of them that do know what to do, act like they’re better than me and talk back constantly, trying to be the boss of everything.” She explained angrily. Rockwell sighed “If necessary, you could call in a trade with one of the other labs, perhaps some of them would be more comfortable living with the magmasaurs.” He offered. She seemed to calm down, “No, no, it’s fine. The project is going well, that won’t be necessary” she replied. It’ll just be harder if new people come. They won’t know their place, it would probably make things worse. “Alright” it replied questioningly. She hauled herself off the bed and straightened her glasses. I was going to take a nap or something, but I guess I’ll go to the lab and see what’s going on. She walked out, the door locking behind her.
As she entered the lab people swarmed around her like children. They were all asking for help or assistance with their assigned part of the project. “Alright alright everyone calm down. Someone go get Stoane, I can’t help all of you on my own. Everyone go back to your stations and I’ll get to you when I get to you.” She ordered. They all quickly started to disperse to their stations to continue their work or wait for her to come assist them.
All she did was eat, sleep, and drink. There was nothing to do in this place. The humans brought her food everyday, although she was hardly ever hungry enough to eat any of it. She tried to escape one time when they had brought her food. She had attempted to dart out of the door while they were leaving after giving her food, but they closed the door too quickly. Although she had failed to escape, she had seen a glimpse of something on the outside, she saw another animal. She had seen a green iguanodon with pale orange specks. She heard the sounds of a struggle, humans yelling, and the angry moo of the iguanodon. From what she could hear, it sounded like they were hitting it, and it no longer sounded angry, it sounded like it was in pain, along with the sound of something firing. Once, she had seen something like this, with Fenic, they had thought it was terrifying. They had watched as a group of humans had managed to restrain a mammoth with a metal chain. They then beat it, some of them shooting it with arrows until it fell unconscious. Afterwards, the humans did the oddest thing, they fed it. Later, the mammoth woke up and did everything the humans told it too. That was the first time Ferra had ever seen an animal be tamed. Now, she figured that the humans had attempted the same with the poor iguanodon. Ferra had debated eating the piece of element she wore as a necklace, the one she had just in case something happened and she needed it, she had debated using it to escape this place. She had spent a whole day thinking of ways to escape, but even mutated she didn’t think she could do it. She had decided to wait, she would save her necklace for later, when she absolutely needed it. Lastly, out of all the events that had happened in this place, she had heard someone call out to her. It sounded like it hadn’t come from very far, perhaps someone had been trying to talk to her. The voice had sounded very staticy which was rather odd. She had attempted to reply to the voice, but she got no response. Ferra sat up and looked around. How long have I been here? A week? Two weeks? I wonder if Fenic has noticed yet, I think it’s around the time we usually meet. She quickly spun around to face the clear wall behind her. The humans were back. Ferra snorted and curled up into a tight ball. She didn’t like it when the humans watched her. This was the third time they had decided to watch her since they’d brought her here. She didn’t know why they did this, they just did, and it was annoying. She squeezed her eyes shut. There was no cover here in this prison they kept her in, but she found a little relief in sleep. When she slept she often dreamt vividly, it felt almost like her dreams were reality, she sometimes wondered if they were.

Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 9
One ravaged was bright red, sitting over a white one with a blue back that was laying down on the ground. There were two more ravagers, one was light brown with a dark brown back, and a dark red one with a black back. The dark red one walked off with the light brown one following. There was one more ravager, a black one with a gray back. The black one gently barked something to the bright red one. The red one, which looked a lot younger than the black one, whimpered something in return. The black one snorted, probably angry or annoyed, and walked off. Ferra stepped forward and squinted at the white one laying on the ground. She gasped with horror, the white one was dead. Ferra walked a bit closer. Her nose scrunched up at the awful smell of sickness and death coming from the white ravager. It all made sense now. The white ravager had died from sickness and the bright red one was grieving. Ferra pitied the red ravager and wanted to comfort it, but as she walked towards it, the world vanished before her.
Ferra awoke with a start. Breathing heavily, she looked around. Fenic was fully mutated, dragging a dire wolf he had killed. Ferra calmed herself and sat up. “How’d you get that in here while mutated, in fact, how’d you even get the dire wolf in here?” She asked. Fenic dropped the direwolf and turned towards Ferra.

Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 7
Ferra jumped into the water underneath the ice, her thick fur protecting her from the cold. She swam towards a hole at the bottom of the pond, then went through it. She found herself down a tunnel filled with water, after a moment, the space widened. Ferra’s head burst through the water, she inhaled the air. Ferra slowly got out of the water to look at the cave around her. This was where they met, this cave was hard to access, and there was room here for them to do whatever they wanted. Ferra saw something white emerge from a tunnel. She sat there, unalarmed. “You’re here early” she said as she turned to look at it. “Ah, well, some humans got a bit too close to where I was living, so I decided to spend the night here” it replied. “Fenic, you know you’re always welcome to stay with me”. Fenic looked at Ferra, his expression unreadable. They sat in silence for a moment, until Fenic broke it, “Well? What are you waiting for? Let’s play a game or explore the tunnels!”. Ferra sighed, she wanted to play with Fenic, but something didn’t feel right. Ferra listened to the element around her whisper and hum. She wished she could ask the element why she felt this way, as if it knew the answer. Fenic tilted his head, knowing something was wrong. Fenic turned to look at the dimly glowing walls. “You know, this place is filled with element, the call is stronger here. We could just lay here and listen to it if you want” his element necklace was glowing brighter than dimmer as if having a conversation and responding to the walls. “Y-yeah, if that’s okay with you” she stuttered awkwardly.

Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 5
Ferra grabbed the mammoth's trunk, she squeezed it, growling. She used the mammoth's trunk, and threw it, it landed a few feet away. The mammoth tried to speak or call for help or something! But it couldn’t, the breath had been knocked out of it, it laid there. Ferra walked up to it, stomping, breathing heavily. Once Ferra was only inches away from the mammoth, she raised her arm. The mammoth gasped in pain as Ferra ripped at its stomach, causing it to bleed. Over and over again, she clawed. She clawed until the mammoth was dead. A nearby argent noticed the dead mammoth and dived for it. Ferra, at the speed of lightning, grabbed the argent by the neck, stopping it mid air. Ferra slowly squeezed the argents neck, giving it a slow painful death, until she broke its neck. Ferra dropped the now limp argent next to the mammoth. Ferra stomped off, leaving the dead bodies of the mammoth and argent. Ferra walked and walked, wandering. After a while, Ferra stopped. Ferra raised her hand, then punched the ground. Half of her arm was buried. Ferra pulled her arm out of the ground, her fist clenched. She unclenched her fist, revealing some element shards. The element shards weren’t black like the large piece from earlier, they were the regular greenish-blue. Ferra quickly consumed the element shards, then went back to normal. “ughhhhhhhhh, what happened?” Ferra asked herself, the last thing she remembered going on a walk, and now, she was somewhere in the snow biome with a massive headache.
After about three hours of walking Ferra managed to make it home and was now exhausted. Ferra climbed into her hole and curled up. Not long after, the darkness of sleep took her.
Ferra opened her eyes to see a desert. She heard a squeal.

I made this one a bit shorter than usual cuz I’m switching POVs next chapter
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!

So before the patch to fix the berry tame bug I decided to try and take a few before it happened. I managed to tame 3 but was quickly reminded of why not to push your luck. 3 of them run up to me (I put my others in cryopods) I got happy and started knocking them out when one of them just shapeshifted I ran out of there but it quickly caught up to me and killed me. Needless to say I lost the 3 Ferox I tamed and all of my loot
Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 22
Ferra stepped up to the dinosaur gate that loomed over her. She then turned her head to look at the clear wall behind her, there were no humans there today, she sighed in relief. For a moment, she faced the dinosaur gate, then she angled herself toward the front right corner of her cage.
She exhaled a quiet shaky breath as she grasped for her element necklace, she didn’t dare take her eyes off the cage. With a quick hard yank, the element broke free from the thin rope that it was tied to. She shrugged and the rope fell to the side. She held the element tightly in her upper right hand. Don’t screw this up, she growled at herself, this is the only piece you have, you’ve got one shot. She closed her eyes and opened her small jaws as wide as they could go. She raised the element above her mouth, as she released her grip, it fell into her mouth.
In a few seconds, she became the monster she knew she was. She reached up to the tops of the cage walls and hauled herself over and out of her cage.
As her feet touched the ground, she quickly noticed the row of cages lined up along one of the walls of the human base. She ran over to the first cage and observed it. A thick wood plank that rested on two wide metal hooks, there was a hook on either door, all this held the door shut. Ferra hauled the wood plank to the side and yanked open the gate doors. Renegade looked up at her in surprise for a moment, then darted out of the cage. “Watch my back” Ferra growled in a deep rough voice.
She stomped over to the next cages to free Lynx and Rorin. Ferra opened the doors to Lynx’s cage. Lynx stood in the center of the cage, expressionlessly looking Ferra up and down. “Boo” Ferra laughed, Lynx calmly walked out of the cage.
As Ferra yanked open the last pair of gate doors, the black direwolf darted out past her without stopping to acknowledge her. She snorted and turned to face the others, the humans had begun to gather around them. She walked over to stand beside Renegade. The three of them had their fangs banged in snarls, both Lynx’s and Rorin’s fur was fluffed up.
“Let’s go!” Rorin growled. “We need to find Ally first!” Lynx hissed, her tail lashing aggressively, Renegade huffed in agreement. “Easier said than done,” Ferra warned. “Leave. The. Bird.” Rorin continued.
This one probably came out a bit short like chap 21, so sorry about that,

A random tale (based on a true story)
I’m one of those people who use mods. Nothing too much, just S+, Better Dinos, and Awesome spyglass. Well, I was trying to breed my ferox, and was transforming all my females so that I could get them to the needed amount of addiction. Well, I had forgotten to convert one of them into BD before giving it element, and it looked kinda scuffed, so I figured converting it to BD would fix it. I opened the wheel and held my mouse on the green option/button/thing...
And my Ferox turned into a Deinonychus.
The End
Revenge of the overseer
Chapter twenty five
By skronkmonster
I looked to see and it was! A sky whale. “ a sky whale with guns!” George said We were being shot at!! Rockets were blasting down on the fortress! I looked to see sky dolphins too! “ run!!” Yelled Helena. We all ran to lady but halfway I asked “ wait what about brad?!” Helena stopped and said “ we can’t go back now! We wait until the raid is over and then we go back!” We all ran back to lady and flew up to see what was happening. The flying sea beasts were being piloted by kids? We flew up to one and asked the pilot “ what’s going on?” He was a 14 year old boy with a pair of goggles on. “ we’ve been trying to capture this place for months! We’re putting an end to Rockwell’s tyranny!” He yelled “ tyranny? What’s wrong with him?” I asked. Helena pulled lady away from the flying dolphin and said “ uhh… we would head back to the ground!” I looked at her and asked “ what’s wrong?
Is she keeping secrets?
The ferox fire.
By P. metallica.
Chapter 1.
(By the way this takes place in an alternate version of genesis where Rockwell didn't kill the master AIs, or even ever reach the genesis simulation)
A white ferox with a brown back scampers through the undergrowth of the bog biome, feroxes aren't native to the bog biome, but this one was lost.
It had all started when the ferox morphed and ate a survivor trying to tame it, after that it teleported into the ocean biome, before teleporting out just as Moeder had nearly swallowed him, then he warped into the lunar biome and was flung off the tail of an astrocetus before being teleported into the volcano biome in the middle of an eruption, but he had teleported here before it killed him.
"Hello, little prey" came a clicking whisper from behind the ferox.
He turned around to see a massive squid-spider-plant-nightmare abomination readying it's silk spouts to entrap him.
Clearly the bloodstalker had never met a ferox before,
He scrambled into a dip in the ground and started digging.
Before long he sneezed and saw a black and purplish lump.
The delicious, intoxicating smell of element wafted from the lump.
The ferox stuffed it into his tiny mouth,
He felt the element trickling into his veins and doing what it did best.
He turned on the menacing arachnid,
now transformed into a demonic lupine monstrosity,
And hurled it far away into a pool.
The element discharged itself through the ferox's retinas, singing the fur around his eyes, and he morphed back into a tiny helpless cat-monkey-jerboa with massive brown eyes.
"That was close" said a voice, and out of the bushes nearby scuttled a very small though seemingly fully grown bloodstalker about the same size as the ferox.
"Why are you so much smaller then that other spider that attacked me?" The ferox said.
"I'm just like this, some bloodstalkers are smaller than others" it said.
So i jumped very far with the boostjump in genesis, at once he dosent jump again, he just startet to fly, higher and higher even to the sky limit. up to 10min waiting in the sky with the ferox i decided to jump of and leav the ferox there lol.
According to myth, he still flys today XD
Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 11
Fenic looked at her for a moment, thoughtful, then shook his head “I’m sure. I wouldn’t want to extrude on your space anyway. Plus, I’ve got everything I need here” Ferra nodded “alright. But my cave is always open if you need it” she said before diving into the water. The surface of the little pond had frozen over again, she would have to break it again if she wanted to get out. Ferra swam back, the forwards, faster. She slammed her head into the ice, once, then twice, the ice shattered. She hauled herself out of the water and onto the ice. Ferra stood up and shook her wet fur out, droplets of water sprayed everywhere. She was about to head home, when her ears perked. She turned the opposite way home and started to walk. She seemed focused on something, her pace quickly changed from walking, to jogging, to running. She had been going for maybe an hour when she stopped. She clawed at the snow, although she didn’t have to dig
deep. She pulled out a black piece of element with a purple glow. She ate the odd piece of element without hesitation, then continued to run but at an even faster pace, tearing through trees.
A human waited in front of a giant stone base, it didn’t flinch as Ferra abruptly stopped in front of it, nearly touching. Although the base was made of stone, it had many machines powered by generators, this place was much more advanced than most of the human bases she’d seen before. The human was female, she wore fur boots, fur pants, chitin gloves, and a chitin chestplate, she wore simple glasses and had dark, black hair. The woman stroked the fur in between Ferra’s glowing purple eyes, Ferra didn’t flinch. The human briefly looked Ferra up and down, observing her white and pale pink fur. “You’re a pretty one aren’t you?” the human stated. The human started to walk, Ferra followed.

Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 6
Ferra opened her eyes to see a desert. She heard a squeal. She turned around and saw a small black wolf, along with two other wolves the same size. Ferra started to walk towards them. The two bigger wolves were looming over the small black one, it wasn’t that old. One of them, the male, was dark grey colored, like the clouds before a storm, the other, was female, white and fluffy. The grey one and the white one argued. About what? The smaller one? After about a minute of arguing the grey one walked up and grabbed the little black one by the scruff. The grey one stomped off with the pup in its jaws, the white one slowly followed. Where were they going? Ferra looked at the white one. It was rather fat. Could the white one be on the verge of having pups? Ferra ran to follow the wolves, but she didn’t seem to move. Ferra’s legs were moving, but she wasn’t going anywhere.
Ferra jolted awake. She sighed. It was just another dream, yet, they felt so real. The dream didn’t matter, why should it? It was just a dream, and besides, today she was going to meet Fenic. Ferra climbed out of her hole and looked at the land below the cliff. It was thick and white, it probably snowed last night. Ferra half climbed half slid down. Once at the bottom she turned left.
Ferra walked for a while, until she reached the spot. Most would wonder why someone would want to meet here, it’s a wide open space with no shelter, predators could come at any moment. Of course, this wasn’t were she was meeting, this would be a stupid place to meet. Ferra walked over to a dip in the snow, in the center, the snow was shoved around, revealing a thin layer of ice. This was the little pond, but it was always frozen over. Ferra lifted her arm and punched the ice, it shattered.

Ferra’s Dream
Chapter 4
Ferra awoke. She looked around frantically. She was in her hole, no longer surrounded by giant redwood trees, just dirt walls. Ferra sighed. Maybe she was spending too much time alone. Ferra shook her light pink and white fur and got up. Ferra walked out of her hole. It was cold as usual, but Ferra didn’t mind, she never did. Ferra walked for a while. She passed several other creatures, Daedons, mammoths, dire wolves, and more. Most animals knew by now, don’t mess with a ferox, but only a few of the animals had even seen her. Most were busy fighting, or they just couldn’t see her because of her light colored coat. Ferra walked past a blackened tree, it was as if it had been burned. Her ear twitched, she turned her head. A purple light swirled in her eyes for a second. She ran over to a thick patch of snow, her legs almost completely sinking into it. She dug, and dug. Deeper and deeper. A mammoth walked by “what are you doing little one?” It asked, with a hint of nervousness. Ferra only grunted. “do you need help?” Offered the mammoth. “I can do it on my own'' Ferra replied rudely, not even turning to look at the mammoth. “are you sur-'' the mammoth was cut off by Ferra before it could finish its sentence “There it is!” Ferra shouted. She ripped a large piece of element out of the ground, there was something wrong with it though. The piece of element was glowing blackish-purple, usually it glowed blue or white. The element was also black while normally it was blueish-green. “what is that?!” Asked the mammoth, disgusted. Ferra’s back was still toward the mammoth. Ferra growled, her body started to increase in size, she became more muscular, she became mutated. Ferra turned to the mammoth, her eyes glowing. Ferra roared.
