My Gassbags, Mr. Wiggles, died today. I was attempting to tame a direwolf, and fell. In panic, I whisled Mr. Wiggles down to me while I was getting eaten, hoping to get on. But I died before I got to Mr. Wiggles. Keep in mind mr wiggles was at like 600-800 health. I ran to my sister's room seeking help because she was on another server, and she wasn't there. I frantically ran back to my room and died twice before finally reaching Mr. Wiggles. He was at 50 health. I frantically tried jumping away, but I was already pinned against a small dent in a cliff. I then tried to blow the wolf away but couldn't. I loved Mr. Wiggles so much, and days before spent nearly 7-12 hrs trying to find him after I lost him in a very laggy sanctuary in extinction. My sister said, it's okay, we can tame a new one, you don't have to find him. But I said "No! Mr. Wiggles is family! And no family left behind!". The night before he died I said to my sister, "I love Mr. Wiggles so much! He's very cute as well. I'd sacrifice all to save him!". Then just 10 minutes before his death I came into my sister's room and said that gassbags are really growing on me. I will never ever forget Mr. Wiggles.

Chapter 23: Aurora's Nightmare

Part 2/3

The world began to blur, and more and more people began to manifest into the air. The ground began to twist and churn into the blacktop of Terran High. Now she was atop the stage, looking on at the laughing crowd, everyone’s faces obstructed with white blobs.

“Let’s give it up for our valedictorian, Aurora Romero!”

The former valedictorian turned around to see Mr. Mo looking at her while giving applause. His face was obstructed too. Everybody looked so unfamiliar and foreign to her, just like how it was back in her freshman years. Just like how it was back in her sophomore years. Just like how it was back before Borealis.

The scene suddenly shifted again, and now she was hanging off a cliff ledge in the snow. A giant mountain towered above her in the distance, and an obelisk that glowed blue floated atop it. She tried her best to pull herself up, but she felt too weak. Tears dripped down her face, and she felt something warm gush out of her chest. She looked down to see a fatal wound, and she felt dizzy just looking at it.

She felt the snow crunch above her, and then she saw a man looking down upon her. He had a soft expression on his face, and he had jet black hair that created a mullet. Just like Samuel, but not exactly. He wore a gold heart necklace that sparkled gently like a star.

“Borealis…” she whispered softly.

Borealis looked at Aurora and frowned in disapproval.

“Where is your necklace?” Borealis sneered as he clenched his fists. Aurora reached for her neck, but didn’t feel the cold touch of gold on her fingertips. She turned pale as she realized what she had done to it before going to sleep.

Thrown it away for some lookalike of his.

“Please, Borealis,” Aurora pleaded as she struggled to hold on, “I- I know I shouldn’t have, I-”

“QUIT IT!” Borealis shouted. Aurora almost slipped off, “You disgust me. Just look at yourself. Falling for some emotionless FREAK who doesn’t even care about anyone except himself. And you leave me behind, just because I died? How would I feel if I were alive and I saw you frolicking around with some other man?”

“But he’s just like you…”

“I DON’T CARE!” Borealis screamed. The wind got more intense, and Aurora felt herself growing weaker and weaker. He just needed him to understand.

“I’ve done so much for you, and this is what I get in return?” Borealis asked with anger written across his face, “You know what Aurora? I think you deserve to die.”

Borealis walked away, and Aurora wailed as she plummeted to her demise, down in the deep sea blue…

Chapter 23: Aurora's Nightmare

Part 3/3

Aurora gasped as she jolted up from her sleeping bag. She was sweating bullets, and her body felt hot and bothered. Suddenly her skin felt like needles pricking her, and she pulled her white graduation bandana off her hair and put it to the side.

“What was that… Nightmare about?” Aurora wondered as she looked to the right. Neddy and Ruby were gone from their sleeping bags. Aurora looked to her left and noticed Samuel was gone too. She let out a sigh, as she huddled up in her bag again.

“That, that didn’t feel good,” Aurora muttered as she shut her eyes tight.

The door burst open suddenly, and Aurora crawled into her sleeping bag, not wanting to be seen by Samuel. She didn’t want to look him in the eye after what happened last night, what he had said to her.

“Why are you hiding there? It’s almost noon and the others are preparing to leave to tame new creatures at any moment.”

It wasn’t Samuel, it was Ben. Aurora took a peek and saw him standing at the doorway without a care in the world. He had his usual outfit on, but he had plants adorning his arms.

“No reason. I don’t feel like going out,” Aurora replied as she held onto her sleeping bag tightly. Ben let out a huff, annoyed.

“Fine. I’ll tell the others you’ve become sick and need recovering.”

“Thanks for that,” Aurora replied. Ben turned around to leave, but before he did he said one more thing.

“Oh, and by the way?”

“Yeah?”

“Next time you have a nightmare, quit screaming in your sleep. It kept me up all night. I suggest you get whatever you have on your mind sorted out or else this is going to become a problem.”

Ben shut the door before Aurora could speak. Aurora looked to the side to see that gold heart locket she had tossed to the side last night. The one Borealis had given for their anniversary. She outstretched her arm and picked it up, gently bringing it to her and clicking a button on the bottom. It opened up in half, revealing a photo of the two of them together at school, proudly displaying their report cards.

She felt herself tearing up. Borealis had passed away, and this is what she does to him?

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Aurora muttered as she held the locket close to her chest. She sat up, clutched her eyes tight, and began to heave her body up and down as she sobbed her regrets away, “I’m sorry…”

Chapter 23: Aurora's Nightmare

Part 1/3

“Why, Samuel, why?” Aurora muttered to herself as she felt tears cloud her eyes, “You’re so much like him. Like Borealis. Why do I feel this way toward you? Even when I know you’d never muster the heart to be with someone like me?”

She blinked a little bit, and then she felt herself falling asleep.

~

Aurora found herself drifting through the night sky. There was a blue haze that filled her vision, and she looked down to see Terran High down below on the horizon. It was dark, yet the sky was filled with thousands of stars. The moon hung in the sky like an executioner’s axe, and it looked even larger than usual. It was a beautiful sight, but Aurora knew that she was in a dream.

“It sure is entrancing,” Aurora thought as her eyes clouded. She felt a searing pain in her left wrist, and she looked at it to see the implant gem still embedded deep into her flesh and bone. It seemed to glow with even more intensity, and as it did Aurora felt her mind grip and tear away, unknown locations popping up in her head at an alarming rate.

The stars above her began to shine intensely, blinding her eyes. She let out a shrill scream, and with a flash she felt herself in murky waters. She gasped as she sat up. She was in the swamp of the island, the one she promised herself never to travel into.

“No, no, I can’t be here,” Aurora murmured. She tried to get up, but she could not. She saw many dangerous creatures prowling the area, and she felt herself struggling to breathe. She felt strange things sucking on her arms, and she tilted her head to see leeches attaching themselves to her arms, and sapping away at her blood. She saw four people traveling in the distance, one of them more familiar than the others, so she cried out for help.

“HELP! HELP! HELP!” Aurora cried out.

But nobody came.

Suddenly there was another flash, and she found herself in large, grass plains. She looked around for a moment, and eventually spotted a boy in the distance with stiff shoulders and long, pure black hair that reached his shoulders. He still wore a graduation robe and had a graduation cap on. Aurora realized that she could move her limbs, so she got up from the ground and walked up to the familiar-looking boy.

“H-Hello?” Aurora asked timidly as she approached him. The boy jerked around, and Aurora noticed that there was a weird substance obstructing his face. They were almost like white blobs.

“YOU,” the boy said, “ARE NOT WORTHY OF ME.”

“What do you mean? I- I don’t know you!” Aurora shouted.

“OF COURSE YOU KNOW ME,” the boy said. He showed his wrist to Aurora, and she realized he had no implant.

“Samuel?!” Aurora gasped, “No, no it’s just a dream. What you’re saying isn’t real. Samuel’s my friend, he’d never say that to me-”

“WHO SAID WE WERE FRIENDS?” Samuel asked, his voice distorted. Aurora’s mind flashed to the night where the group were reunited near that beacon.

“What?”

“YOU HEARD ME,” Samuel replied in a distorted voice, “NO ONE EVER SAID WE WERE FRIENDS. WE ARE ALLIES. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. MY ONLY FRIEND EVER IS STAR.”

Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to squirm, and a dodo bird rose into the air, the blobs around its face obstructing its features. Star. It glowed brightly, and Samuel held onto her tightly.

“MY ONLY FRIEND IS STAR. SHE’S BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN YOU EVER HAVE BEEN,” Samuel blurted, “YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME BUT AN ALLY TO HELP ME SURVIVE.”

“I-I don’t understand!” Aurora cried out to the sky, “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!”

No matter how hard Aurora convinced herself that this was just a dream, just a nightmare, Samuel’s words still haunted him. Aurora was nothing to him. Samuel very much would never care about someone like her. They had only met because of the circumstances of the island.

Samuel didn’t care about her.

Laughter shook the plains, and Aurora turned around with tears in her eyes to see Neddy and Ruby pointing their finger at her and laughing away. They too, had white blobs covering their faces.

“Look at that loser!” Neddy called out, “Look at that emo brat loser! She will never find love like us!”

Ruby was holding onto his arm and laughed along with him.

“She ABANDONED us, and fled like the coward she is! Of course Samuel would never accept someone like HER.”

The house of madness

Chapter six: the team

Hailey and Brutus followed Marvelo. He was leading them to where their team was meeting. Hailey was excited about the mission. “I can’t wait to start!” Hailey told Brutus. Brutus nodded. “Hopefully they have food.” Brutus said. Marvelo scoffed. “Always thinking about your stomach aren’t you Brutus?” Marvelo asked, sarcasm dripping from each word. “Oh cheer up Marv! It’s not like YOU are in the team besides you’re just a butler.” Hailey said. Brutus and Hailey snickered. Marvelo set his jaw at the use of her nickname for him and the fact she had called him a “butler”. “I am NOT a butler Hailey, and actually I am part of the team. I’m the leader.” Marvelo said. Hailey gaped at him. “What?” Marvelo ignored her and continued walking. Hailey and Brutus exchanged looks and then continued following Marvelo. They walked until they came to a medium sized room with a round table in the middle. Strange people were sitting at it. “This is Camille..” Marvelo said, motioning to a woman with auburn hair and blue eyes, had black mascara around her eyes and had large black feathery wings sprouting from her back. “This is Daniel..” Marvelo pointed to a man with brown hair and green eyes had swords strapped to his back. “This is Willow..” Marvel motioned to a woman with long black curls and green eyes. “And last and definitely least…Jaron. You know him.” Hailey tan over to Jaron. “Jaron! How are you and how’s Peggy?” Hailey asked. Peggy stuck her head out of Jaron’s jacket. “Oh I’m PERFECTLY fine…EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I’M STUCK INSIDE THIS MOLDY JACKET! I’M GONNA DIE OF SUFOCATION ” Peggy exclaimed angrily. Brutus walked up, licking his lips. “If you want to die I can take care or you.” Brutus said. Peggy scrunched her nose. “No thanks. I’d rather die of suffocation.” Marvelo cleared his throat. “Can we focus? Now I was saying…you have all been chosen for this special mission because of each of your abilities…or not abilities. These are our targets.” Marvelo said showing them two photos. Here was a woman and a man. One was a brunette with dark green eyes and the man had shoulder length jet black hair and light green eyes. “We have intel that they are staying in a city called cliffside city with a elf woman named Autumn and her husband. We are to capture the targets and bring them back here. They used to be part of this team until they betrayed us. We need to bring them in ALIVE.” Marvelo said.

Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 37 ~vinestraps offer~

“You… you’ve killed.. my son!” The king cried. “Well, twas a deathmatch..” Nash said nervously. “GAURDS KILL HIM.” The king yelled furiously. The two gaurds behind him glanced at eachother and nodded. “What are you doing?! KILL HIM!” The king yelled. “No.” A guard said. “w h a t…” the king said angrily, “fine, you.” He pointed at the other guard, “send this one to the dungeon for treason and then kill that son of a amargasaurus that murdered my son!” The king said. “Actually neither of us will be doing that “your majesty”” the other guard said. “How dare you idiots defy me…” the king said, “fine you.. er.. hunter.” He said forgetting Xu’s name yet again, “get the other guards and do what I ask. You may even get a promotion to guard! We are about to have to open spots..” he said. “Actually, your right, Xu will be getting a promotion. to king.” The first guard said. “WHAT?!” The king yelled. “Xu would be a better king than you ever were, you married a gigantopithicus princess just to get a bigger empire, you then killed her when the truce was made, and to top it all off you were willing to give your monster of a son the throne! Heck you can’t even remember any of our names!!” The second guard said. The guards shoved him to the ground and ripped the crown off his head. the first guard kneeled and presented the crown to Xu. The king was speechless. Xu at first hesitated then said. “I never wanted the throne.. but if it’s the best for the kingdom, I’ll do it.” He took the crown. “ALL HAIL THE KING ALL HAIL THE KING!” The crowd chanted. “I don’t like the sound of king.. how about emperor?” Xu said. “Let it be so.” The first guard said. “Uh.. so am I still to be executed?” Nash asked. “No of course not, we are actually in your debt.” Xu said. “How so?” Nash asked. “We’ve wanted to overthrow that tyrant for years but his freakish son was in the way.” The guard explained. “How dare you say that about your fallen prince!” the (former) king said. “What was that? Uh.. whatever your name is.” Guard two said. This made the (former) king so angry it looked like his forehead was about to explode.

The former king was banished from the kingdom, where they knew he would most likely perish once the amargasaurus’s found out about him being alone, but they couldn’t risk him being left in the dungeon to plot an escape. Xu kindly gave Nash the artifact and told him he’d always be welcome in the dinopithicus empire. And so Nash set off for the cave, before it was too late.

“Those stupid..” the former king said cursing under his breath. “Think they can just overthrow me!” He muttered, “Oh, who am I kidding I’m dead out here..”he wandered through the jungle anticipating a sudden end at any moment, then he saw a green flash, a supply drop slowly started lowering down to the dinopithicus. usually creatures avoided them, but he was desperate and had nothing to lose. The drop was a lime green hue and when it finally landed it displayed a green holographic screen, in the screen Salizar looked at him. He looked different, instead of a mask on his burnt eye there was a cybernetic implant, it had a neon lime eye and his veins were illuminated with a soft green glow all around it. “Hello King vinestrap.” Salizar said slowly. “Who.. Who are you?” Vinestrap asked. “That, is none of your concern. All you need to know is that I can offer you revenge on the little knight that murdered your son and took your throne.” Salizar said cunningly. Vinestrap grinned evilly “What must I do..”

The Obelisk

-Chapter 47-

A beam of light danced in Forests eyes as he awoke. The trapdoor was opening. Every morning, that was a sign of the first light.

The others were already awake, except for Nyx, who was curled up in the corner peacefully. Forest stretched his back and yawned tiredly.

There was a scuffle in one of the prison cages in opposite of them, and a large, furry creature stood up. Forest realized for the first time he recognized him—it was the same Thyla from three days ago, the one from the Ruins, who had tried to help them escape.

“Hey!” Forest called to him, skidding up to the bars. “I know you.”

The Thyla glanced at him, inhaling deeply.

“and I know you. Didn’t escape, I see.”

Spark noticed them talking and walked over, squinting at him. “Why would they capture you?” She asked him.

“Because I helped you,” he answered simply.

“Hah!” A creature from one of the cells barked a laugh, the sound of tail thumping reverberating through the prison. “That’s not all he did. He ATTACKED the GENERAL. Nobody does that! I can’t believe you thought you’d get away with it, you fat old cat.”

“I attack whomever I want,” The Thyla retorted, glaring at the creature. Forest couldn’t see the creature, he was in the cell next to them—and Forest couldn’t angle his head enough to see.

“Yeah, but the General? You must have had good reason.” The creature said.

“I did,” the Thyla snapped. “She was trying to capture the Five.”

The creature laughed again, and Forest heard the sound of feathers and scales scraping against stone. “You’re one of

t h e m ,” he said. “I don’t believe in that old Basilisk gibberish. It’s not like Five baby carnivores can save the world. They’re nothing.”

“Oh really?” Asked Crimson. “And what are you, exactly?”

There was a moment of silence from the other cell. “None of your business,” He hissed.

“Not too exciting, is it?” Crimson asked.

“No! I—you—“ the creature growled loudly. “Fine. I’m an assassin.”

Forest, Spark, and Rust gasped. Crimson made a surprised noise.

“Don’t sound so surprised,” the creature spat. “You’re in a prison. What do you expect?”

“Is that why you’re in here?” Forest asked, tilting his head.

“Duh.”

“Listen,” the Thyla began, “no matter what we are or how we got here, we all have one thing in common. We hate the Terror birds. Can’t you agree?”

The creature paused, then said, “I suppose so.”

“Heck yeah!” Cried another prisoner form nearby.

“I agree,” said another voice. “If they don’t fix that arrogant ego of theirs, I swear, once I’m out of here, I’m starting a rebellion! Banish the Terror birds!!”

“Throw em’ in the ocean and feed em’ to the sharks!” Snarled another, female voice. “That’s what I’d do. What do you think, Quartz?”

“I think you’re all dodo brains,” said a male voice.

“What?” Said the female voice again. “Quartz—“

“Haven’t you heard?” Quartz said. “The Terror birds aren’t the ones we should aim for. They’re just the puppets.”

“What are you talking about?” Hissed the assassin.

“The Terror birds have an ally,” growled Quartz. “Someone who’s been controlling them all this time. convincing them to take over.”

There was a snort, and the female vioce said, “the Terror birds wouldn’t ally with a compy if they could help it. Where did you hear this?”

“A friend,” Quartz said. “He was spotted spying on the Terror birds shortly after he told me about it, and ended up tricking the Terror birds to think I was the one spying.”

“So your innocent?” Forest asked.

“For now.” Quartz hissed. “Once I’m out of here, I’m gonna see for myself who this ally is. But, if you listen at night, when the guards are talking, they speak of him. He scares the living daylight out of them, so he must be dangerous, or just smart.”

Forest wondered who this mysterious ally was, if he was real. Forest would have to stay awake at night to hear for himself.

The prisoners started quarreling again—and suddenly there was a slide of stone doors, and all the prisoners fell silent. There was the sound of claws on stone, and six Terror birds walked, haulted, and turned to unlock the Five’s prison door.

“Don’t struggle, and come with us,” said one of the Terror birds as the door slid open.

Nyx awoke by the noise, and let out a fearful squeak at the sight of the soldiers. The six marched in, small spears held under their wings, and each took one of the Five, except for Spark, who got two guards on either side of her.

“Where are we going?” Spark asked.

Forest’s guard snickered, and he recognized the haughty Terror bird named Quake. “Your gonna love it.

The Emperor wants to see you.”
