Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 43 ~ help from a hesperornis~

Nash and the serpents left the cave to search for Skyla, they had been out there for hours in the area she went missing, they asked every creature that would hear them but nobody had seen a fjordhawk recently nor had heard about one nearby. “Sorry, fjordhawks never come to this side of the mountain, I’ve only seen one or two my entire life.” Said a glowtail. “I’ve seen one but he was a guy, and dead.” Said an unhelpful parasaur. They continued searching all day, until it was sundown, they gave up for the night and set up camp. “Where could she be..” Nash said. “I don’t know, but she hass be ssomewhere.. if she wass dead ssomeone would know, my sserpentss asked every sscavenger and carnivore in thiss jungle and nobody had sseen a body..” Seascale said. “Psst!” A voice said in the bushes. They looked around and then noticed a small beak in the bushes, “Hello? Who are you and why are you in the foliage?” Nash asked. “I can’t let them know I told you, I couldn’t say anything earlier because they are always watching!” The Voice said in a wisper. Nash remembered the voice, “I remember you! You were the hesperornis who avoided my questions earlier!” He said. “Yes, sorry about that but like I said they are always watching!” The hesperornis said. “Well what iss it then!” Seascale said impatiently. “Your friend, I saw her, she was taken by the amargasaurus!” It said. “What?!” Nash exclaimed, “is she alright? Did they..” he said. “no, well, I don’t think so, they took her captive instead of killing her so I assume they are trying to lure you in to try and save her.” The bird said. “Well it’s working, where is their base?” Nash said. “It’s nearby, they’re territory is everywhere around the mountain and they move camp constantly but right now I believe they are to the west.” It said. (The dinopithicus empire is north and the group started on the southern tip of the ark. the mountain is about in the center of the ark with the cave going from south to north.) “what’ss the quickesst way there.” Seascale said, “followed the river to the west, it should lead you to them.” The hesperornis said. “Thanks.” Nash said.
