Yeah, this was the longest time that I spent on any tame! Yes, I tamed it without a trap....I chased around the map behind it for 30 mins, on an Argy, and whenever it was aggro on Argy I got down and shoot it.. That's how I tamed it...Not impossible to tame it without a trap, it's just very very very hard!

“So. Why do we love?”
Mr. Lopez walked back and forth at the whiteboard, his gray, red striped trench coat swaying back and forth, and his sunglasses reflecting the buzzing light off. Everyone stayed silent. Some students were on their phones, some were jotting down random sketches and some were dozing off. This was a place where nobody cared about their academic careers, a place where people were trapped within their own worlds. The teachers were aware of this, and they didn’t care about it either. As long as they weren’t disrupting the classroom environment for the others who did care, they could do whatever they pleased.
Ben rapped his fingers along the desk as his eyes darted around the classroom. The vintage old wooden desks that looked like they came from the 1900s littered the classroom. Some were left empty because of ditchers. One of the desks had an engraving of the big letter B. Ben didn’t know how long that B had been around, but it must have been for a while because it was filled with dirt and dust.
Ben looked to his right. John had his head in his hands and was staring at his paper in horror, his eyes darting from sentence to sentence and word to word. Ben sighed and looked over at his other friend, Ian, who was looking at Mr. Lopez blankly. There were earpods in his ears that connected to the phone in his pocket. Ben could distinctly hear piano music coming from the earpods.
“Ben. Do you know the answer to this question?”
Ben’s eyes shifted to Mr. Lopez, who gave a smile back.
“You’re asking that as if I care,” Ben replied.
Mr. Lopez raised his eyebrow.
Just give it your best shot. At my question, that is. There’s no right or wrong answer.”
Ben shuffled in his seat uncomfortably and crossed his arms.
“Fine. Love is the strong feeling you have toward someone. It can be romantic or platonic, doesn’t really matter. A strong feeling that you wish to take care of them or be with them. Happy?”
“Eh, not really. I feel like you have a better answer than that,” Mr. Lopez replied.
“Well I can’t think of anything… I guess I’m stumped,” Ben quickly lied with a shrug.
Mr. Lopez’ smile shifted to a frown.
“Enjoy the moments as they last, Ben. You don’t have much time left.”
Ben stared down at the desk.
“Yeah. I know.”
BRRRING!
Saved by the bell, John’s head jolted up, and he instantly rushed out of the classroom with his backpack strapped around his shoulder. Everyone else did the same as well, paying no attention to their surroundings or others. A random individual who Ben did not know (nor did he care to know) brushed his shoulder against Ian’s.
“Hey, watch where you’re going punk!” the random snarled. Ian rolled his eyes and raised his fist in the air. The random’s eyes bulged and he began to back away.
“Jeez, you don’t have to take things so personally!” he muttered under his breath. Ian lowered his fist, brushed his hair back, and looked over at Ben with a smile. He adjusted the collar of his black leather jacket.
“Let’s get out of here, I’m ready to go to Carlos’ place,” Ian said with a toothy grin. Ben smiled back softly.
“Don’t be afraid,” Mr. Lopez suddenly said, “It’s not a good idea to deny your emotions. Because one day you’re going to make the wrong choice, and that regret is going to hang around your side for a loooong time.”
Ben ignored Mr. Lopez and walked toward the door. He turned back to Mr. Lopez, who sat down on his office chair dejectedly.
“Don’t pry into my business, teach.”
Ben exited the classroom to be greeted with the bright sun shining on his face. He shielded his eyes, and a flock of birds was flying overhead. They seemed to be a family.
Ben looked left to right and noticed many of the hallways empty and barren. They must have left quickly. Ben began to walk toward the entrance. Things felt a lot heavier that day. Ben knew why.
“But I can’t let them know,” Ben thought gloomily. The sounds his shoes made pounding across the asphalt path felt a little louder. The whistling of the wind mirrored that of a cavern, despite the open air and bright skies. Well, almost bright skies. Clouds seemed to be gathering a little far away.
“Hopefully they forget it’s my birthday today.”
Ben soon found himself at the front gates of Altos High, and he stepped outside to admire the view. His four friends were all sitting on a bench, talking about the school day they had.
“How was Culinary for you, Carlos?” Ian asked gently, his earpods out and the music absent. Carlos, another of Ben’s friends, smiled back. He was wearing a black shirt and tan khakis.
“It was really fun to be honest. We were cooking whatever we wanted today, so I chose a burrito because I thought it’d be funny cooking something I don’t like to eat.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, but then I accidentally set the building on fire-”
Carlos paused as his eyes graced Ben, and a grin grew on his face.
“Ben, finally you’re here! What’s the wait for? Ian told me that you needed to do something really quick!”
Ben smiled back and gave a thumbs-up to him.
“Nothing. Just needed to ask that yappin’ Mr. Lopez why I got such a bad score on my paper.”
“Ha ha! Yappin’ Mr. Lopez!” Paul, the last of Ben’s friends, laughed. His face was covered in sweat, he must have just come out of PE. He was wearing his iconic bright red shirt with a white zipped up jacket with short sleeves covering it. Then he squinted his eyes and scratched his head, “Wait. What does that mean?”
Everyone began to laugh to themselves, and John got up from his seat, putting a straw hat on.
“Come on, let’s go walk to Carlos place as we planned this Thursday.”
All five of them agreed. They began to walk away from the school and down the streets. Ben turned around one last time to glance at the school. He mentally took a picture, and turned around, not daring to look back.
~
“So. What should we do now that we’re all here!” Paul asked with enthusiasm. He seemed to have stopped sweating on the way there. Ian leaned back in his seat and shrugged.
“I’m not sure. Usually we just talk, but we’ve talked about all our school days already…” Ian said. Paul suddenly pointed a finger in the air.
“Ah ha, I know! Let’s talk about fire trucks!”
“Heh, sure, fire trucks,” John sarcastically said. Paul shot a sneer at him.
“What’s wrong with fire trucks? I love fire trucks!”
Carlos seemed to be looking at his bar counter, where his parents kept all the alcohol. Obviously they weren’t legally allowed to drink, but… There was a bottle of grape juice freshly bought.
Carlos got up to get it. The more time Ben spent with his friends, the more his mind wandered to the old times. His old friends, who had gone off to another school.
“She wanted to go into the medical field. Be a scientist or something,” Ben recalled. He smiled at the thought, “That’s right. Science.”
Ben heard the pouring of a liquid, and Ben glanced over to see Carlos pouring grape juice into glasses for everyone. Paul licked his lips.
“I love grape juice!” Paul said gleefully.
“I have a good idea,” Carlos replied. As the last drop of grape juice dripped into Ben’s glass, he set the bottle horizontally on the table. He sat back in his seat and signaled at the bottle. A look of confusion spread on Ian’s face.
“You aren’t suggesting that we-”
“EWWWW,” Paul said. He began to gag, “That’s GROSS! I can’t believe you Carlos!”
“What? NO! That’s not what we’re playing you dummies, I was going to suggest truth or dare!” Carlos replied, turning a little red, “You guys… Jeez, why did you think we were going to play that?”
“Don’t know, don’t care, how is this even going to work?” John asked.
“I guess whoever spins the bottle will ask truth or dare, and the person it lands on will have to choose between the two,” Ben suggested.
“Yeah. Basically. So, I guess I should go first since I’m the host!” Carlos said with a grin. He grabbed the bottle and afterwards spun it as hard as he could. The bottle kept spinning, until eventually, it landed on…
“Ian!” Carlos said. Everyone began to “Ooohh”, and Carlos began to scratch his chin, trying to think of what to say.
“Hmmm, Truth or Dare, Ian?”
“Truth,” Ian replied with a smug look. John smirked at him.
“What, too chicken to choose dare?”
Ian looked back at John with a smirk.
“I’ll be expecting you to choose Dare when you get picked,” Ian added on. John slunk back into his seat, and Ian smiled and looked back at Carlos, who finally decided what he was going to say.
“Okay… Who was the last girl who tried to get with you?”
Ian looked up at the ceiling, biting on his finger as if he was trying his best to remember. Then, a few seconds later, he looked back.
“It was Madison.”
“Madison?!” Paul exclaimed with surprise, “She’s the most popular girl in the school! That’s surprising.”
“Yeah, I know. Last week in math class, her friend was bugging me about her. So I talked to her about it, pulled out a few flirty moves, and then… we were kissing. So yeah, we’re together now. She’s smokin’ hot, what can I say?”
“Wow, that’s just fast,” John said, a bit shocked, “I thought you were dating Alice? Wasn’t that just last month?”
“Yeahhh but she was using me for my money,” Ian said. His eyes glazed over with sadness as he said that, “We broke up. But it’s not that big a deal. There are fish everywhere in the sea.”
“I’m sorry, Ian,” Paul said, putting a hand on Ian’s shoulder, “You’re okay though, right?”
“I am. Like I said… not that big a deal. Girls are always like that. I can’t expect much from them except a little fun,” Ian sneered.
“And what makes you think Madison will be any different?” Ben suddenly interjected. Ian looked back at Ben.
“I’m sure she’s better than the last,” Ian blankly stated.
“You can’t just keep hopping from one girl to the next,” Ben said, “Sometimes it’s better to just reflect and think about who you really want in a person. It isn’t about if they’re hot or if they’re cute or anything like that, is it?”
He took a swig of his grape juice and set the glass down. All eyes turned to him with raised eyebrows. Ian chuckled a little bit.
“Well what do you know about love?” Ian asked, “Riddle me this, Ben. Ugly girl with a fun personality, or a hot girl with none?”
“I-”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. So how about this? Once you get a girl to like you… I’ll listen to whatever you have to say.”
“He’s got a point though,” John added on, “No one’s liked you yet, right?”
“No… But what does that matter?”
“Then we’re just going to have to wait and see. Till’ then your advice is just blank advice, y’know?” John said. Paul bit his lip. He seemed uncomfortable about the topic.
“Guys can we just move onto the next person.”
“Okay. Seems fair enough to me,” Carlos said, “Ian you can spin the bottle next.”
Ian smirked and grabbed the bottle by the neck. With a quick spin, it spun round and round, and each person watched on with wide eyes, wondering who would be picked next. The bottle began to slow down, and the cap was pointing at…
Ben.
“Ohh, here we go,” Ben thought to himself. Ian looked at Ben.
“Truth or Dare, Ben?”
Ben began to scratch his chin.
“Usually, I’d pick Truth, but…” he looked at Ian, who seemed to already have a devious question cooked up. Ben felt his face get prickly and the air felt sharper.
“Dare,” Ben finally replied. There was a moment of silence, as everyone just looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
“But Ben, you never pick Dare!” Paul pointed out.
“I guess… I’m feeling a bit more bold today,” Ben replied lightly. Ian seemed to be thinking hard. This obviously wasn’t part of the plan. But then suddenly his face lit up. He turned to the others.
“Bagels,” Ian randomly said. Paul’s eyes widened. He put his hands over his mouth to keep himself quiet. John nodded in affirmation, and Carlos began to crack his knuckles. He began to walk over to the kitchen and put an apron on. Ian turned to Ben.
“I dare you to stay in the bathroom until we knock on the door,” Ian blurted. Ben raised his eyebrow. What a weird dare.
“Okay… Just don’t take too long, okay?”
Ben walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. He heard his friends all shuffle, whispers about a ‘plan’, and then the beeping of a stove.
~
Someone knocked on the door.
“Hey, Ben, we’re done!” Ian yelled. Ben groaned and got up from the toilet seat. He felt a little sore, which was expected because he had been waiting for the past fifty minutes. He walked up to the door and opened it up, but nobody was there.
“Come over here!”
Ben walked down the hallway and through the living room door. Suddenly confetti poured from the ceiling, and the sound of a party blower shrieked in the air.
“Woah! What the-”
Ben looked around in dumbfoundment as Paul had a party blower in his mouth, and John was holding onto a thin wire that connected to a bucket above Ben’s head. Carlos was carrying a poorly constructed cheesecake. His white apron was covered in cream cheese stains and his hands were coated in white flour. The cheesecake looked droopy, and red frosting made a smiley face. Strawberries resembled eyes. Five lit candles were stuck in the cake. Ian was wearing a party hat and was playing birthday music.
“Surprise! Happy birthday, Ben!” Ben’s friend, Carlos yelled with a huge smile.
“What a beautiful cake!” Ben said, his eyes sparkling, “You guys actually remembered it was my birthday…”
Ian smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Ben. We’re all friends. We all remember each others’ birthdays,” Ian leaned in and whispered into his ear, “You don’t need to lie, you can say the cake is ugly.”
“Hey!” Carlos shouted.
“No no, I really do like it!” Ben said honestly, “I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
Paul, the optimistic, cheerful dude as he always was, walked up to Carlos with a grin.
“Don’t worry friend!” Paul said with a goofy grin, “We all worked hard to make Ben happy and he is happy! That’s all that matters!”
John smiled, and turned to everyone one by one.
“Okay then. What are we waiting for? Let’s sing happy birthday!”
For the next minute or two, they all sang happy birthday, and Ben couldn’t help but smile. Life was great. Things were going well, and the friends he had been with for a while were on his side, as always.
“It’s not what I expected, but… I don’t want to-” Ben thought as the sing-song voices of his friends came to a halt.
“I don’t want to go.”
“Make a wish now, Ben, and blow out the candles!” Carlos said, interrupting Ben’s thoughts.
“I think you should wish for Carlos to get better at cooking,” Ian whispered into Ben’s ear.
“I heard that!” Carlos shouted while waving his fist in the air.
“Nah, don’t worry Carlos I won’t make that wish,” Ben reassured him with a grin. He leaned forward, his wish ready. With a soft blow, only one flame of the candle was extinguished. He blew it again with all of his might, and at last they were extinguished. His four friends cheered, clapping as Ben grinned one last time.
“Thanks everyone, thanks,” Ben said with a smile.
“Hey, what was your wish?” Paul asked curiously, and with raised eyebrows.
“He can’t tell you, otherwise the wish can’t come true!” Ian warned him.
“Oh…” Paul said with a frown.
“Don’t worry about it, it’s nothing important,” Ben reassured Paul with a soft smile.
“Well that’s good to hear! I hope your wish comes true!” Paul beamed with a bright smile. Everyone began to laugh, and with that, Carlos carved the cheesecake up into pieces for everyone to eat…
~
Long after the occasion, everyone had decided to head home because it was getting so late. Carlos was cleaning up the mess he had created in the kitchen.
“Well, I’m going to head out right now,” Ben announced to Carlos.
“Oh, okay,” Carlos replied with a smile. He looked back at Ben with a soft smile, “It was nice having you. And happy birthday again, I can’t believe you’re already turning 17. Man, we grow up so fast.”
“Thanks for having me Carlos,” Ben waved goodbye. As he put his hand on the door handle, Carlos suddenly stopped him.
“Before you go, I just wanted to say I really am happy to be your friend,” Carlos blurted. Ben turned back and smiled.
“Me too, Carlos. Me too.”
Ben exited out of the house, closing the door softly. He adjusted his white dress shirt and thin black jacket. He closed his eyes, rubbed them, a mental picture blurred in his head.
“Me too…”
Ben opened his eyes. He was ready to go home.
Ben began to walk through the neighborhood, looking up at the night sky. The stars were distant and fading away because of humanity’s machinery and factories. But one star seemed brighter than all the others, a star that blurred red, blue, and green.
“Hey Ben, sightseeing?”
Ben turned to see a girl with golden-brown hair approaching him; she had a warm smile on her face that was as bright as the lone star above. Her hair flowed in the gentle wind. An old friend, a remnant of his past.
Caught off guard because of her unexpected arrival, Ben didn’t know what words to muster up.
“Oh, um, hey,” Ben replied. His eyes shifted away.
“What are you doing out so late? Shouldn’t you be going to bed right about now? I thought your parents were strict about that sort of thing,” she asked curiously.
“They’ve gotten a bit more relaxed on that,” Ben answered while looking away. He couldn’t look her in the face. He was afraid that she would know what he was thinking, as she always did.
“How are the others? Brandon, Ela, Elena? Are they doing alright?”
“Of course. I’ve been watching over them.”
Ben sighed, sitting down at a bench. She lingered nearby.
“Y’know I would have joined you all,” Ben said, “But we all agreed to go to Altos High. And then…”
“I’m sorry about that, but some things have to be done for the greater good, you know?”
“I understand.”
There was a moment of silence.
“What do I say?” Ben asked himself.
She giggled.
“You don’t have to say anything. I came here for a reason,” she said.
“What do you mean-”
She got up from the bench and walked past Ben, patting him on the shoulder. Ben shivered.
“Happy birthday, Ben.”
Ben couldn’t handle it anymore. A tear dribbled down his cheek. He shook slightly. She understood what was inevitable. She closed her eyes.
“You could have told us,” she whispered, her voice barely coming out a crack, “We could have all spent one last day together.”
“I’m sorry,” Ben wept with a whisper, “I was afraid. I should have told you sooner, I’ve known all this time.”
“I promise I’ll come back. And we can do the things we were destined to do. I promise.”
Soft footsteps pattered across the grass, as she slowly left, leaving nothing but solace in her wake. A lone flower was rooted near the bench. A blue hibiscus. Trembling, Ben uprooted the flower, the promises in his heart rooting itself within the plant.
Three ways to love.
Two promises.
One flower.
He felt a hum come from the flower, as the world around him began to get blurrier. Voids swirled around the flower, and the memory was gone in an instant.
He blinked rapidly, and he was back at the Book Club camp. The flames of the torch crackled under his eyes, and he rubbed them a little to try and figure out what just happened.
“Just a memory,” Ben realized. He put the hibiscus away in his pocket, and then continued walking off to the farm.
I once had a griffen named atlas he was perfect a high level great stats it was great.

The Obelisk
-Chapter 52-
Coal kept his head low. He slowly marched through the Strongholds halls, hunching his back and keeping his wings folded in. His feathers were ruffled and un-preened, but there was no time to stop. He had to do it. Tonight. Jethezzar would arrive for the council meeting soon. And he knew he couldn’t keep the prisoners waiting.
Torches flickered in the halls, a few fireflies buzzed near some glass where a lantern had fallen and shattered. Coal left it alone.
He finally arrived at the doors to the prisons, which were guarded by two soldiers, keeping their spears tucked under their wings and their beaks up.
“Good morning, Prince,” greeted one of the soldiers. Coal recognized Quake, one of his hatchery-mates. He, along with a few other young Terror birds, had grown up with Coal in the main palace Hatchery. But Quake, like his father, had slowly grown into a prideful, arrogant soldier. While they had a history together, Coal was no longer friends with him.
“Morning, Quake.” Coal nodded his head respectfully, then did the same to the second soldier, who straightened under his gaze.
“What brings you to the prisons?” Quake asked.
“I would like to speak with a few of the prisoners,” Coal explained.
“Oh,” Quake blinked, something flashing in his eyes. “Of course, but, If I may, this is not the right time to approach any of the prisoners. Tough night for most of them, still finishing their meals—“
“I said, I would like to come in.” Coal had no more time for delay. “Would you dare disobey the son of the Emperor?”
Quake gawked silently, swallowing hard. The second soldier kicked him hard and opened the door before Quake could intervene. “Of course not, young Prince,” the second said. “You may enter. But don’t be too long.”
“Watch out for their teeth,” Quake called as Coal entered the prisons.
Coal still led carefully through the halls, checking each cell. Lots of angry, tired and sleeping prisoners l, but so far no—
He instantly knew the Five when he saw them. He stopped by the bars. “Greetings,” he said to them.
One of the Five, a green, blue and yellow Rock Drake stood up. He blinked soft, confused eyes at Coal. “Hello. Who are you?”
Coal was momentarily distracted by his royal instincts. He drew himself up, irritated. “You don’t recognize me?”
“Nope,” said one of them—a pale ruby red Kaprosuchus. “What do you want?”
Coal wanted to push further and tell them about his royal blood—but he didn’t. He needed to get straight to the point.
“I need your full attention. All Five of you.”
“What? What is it?” Asked the Rock Drake.
“Im going to help you escape.”

Chapter 20: The Book Club
Original Post Date: Feb 4, 2024
Note: Story starts in Wyvern, Aerial ABC backwards filter and has a Prologue. Last chapter in Ichthyornis, next chapter in Griffin. The next chapter will be a “decimal” chapter (20.5). This means it does not exactly fit on the timeline, but still has relevance to the plot.
~
The raft sailed smoothly down the river, carried by a gentle current. Neddy and Ruby still seemed content about chatting away, but there was a clear, awkward tension between Aurora and Samuel.
“I really hope she isn’t too upset about how I feel about… Life,” Samuel thought as he looked onward into the peaceful day. Despite being on an island filled with bloodthirsty creatures out to get them, he found it quite peaceful. These mindless beasts were no smarter than a chicken, all they did was hunt or flee constantly. It was like they were built to be this way. In a way, this was like a break for him from school. In school, people were unpredictable. Irrational. And Samuel felt as if that just made life more complicated.
“But here, I don’t really need to worry about any of that,” Samuel thought with a smile.
And steering the raft was Ben, who had decided to take the wheel, or in this case, the lever, in turn of Samuel as he would know where to go from there. But Ben, who was usually a lot chattier than this, was awfully quiet on the way there.
Neddy seemed to notice his unease, so he decided to lighten the mood.
“What’s wrong, bro?” Neddy asked Ben as they traveled upstream.
Ben didn’t respond for a second, but after a minute he finally answered his question.
“The problem I’m facing isn’t for you to solve,” he ominously said, “You don’t have to worry about me. Only about yourself.”
“Ooookay, dude…” Neddy murmured, turning away.
Ben looked ahead for a moment, and he spotted a standing torch that was lit ablaze.
“Ah, here we go! That torch over there marks the camp of the Book Club!” Ben grinned.
~
The group soon docked near the river coastline, where a row of lit standing torches paved the way to a small cluster of huts made of thatch. A perimeter of wooden spike walls surrounded the camp, and stone irrigation pipes ran from the river into the camp’s entrance. One of the three obelisks floated in the sky eerily nearby, its green glow humming so intensely that the friends could hear it from here. It almost sounded like the bellow of a beast. Creepy.
“Wow, you’ve got a lot set up,” Samuel stated with suspicion.
“I didn’t think they’d progress so far,” Ben replied, “I have been gone for pretty much the entire time here on the Ark, though, so I can’t really blame them.”
“This place looks really cool!” Neddy commented happily.
“I agree, this is like a cozy little village,” Ruby replied with a smile while looking around.
“Where’s the leader of the Book Club’s camp?” Aurora asked while crossing her arms. She seemed cautious of the place, still believing Ben and his Book Club to be untrustworthy.
“The leader is right this way,” Ben answered, waving his hand at a thatch hut that was guarded by Raptors.
The five walked down the pathway and up to the thatch hut. One of the Raptors had a significantly more muscular body than the others, including Samuel’s Raptor. Samuel’s Raptor snarled at it, and the big Raptor snapped its jaw at it, causing it to leap back.
“Hey! Knock it out, Special Raptor!” Ben scolded the Raptor. Neddy looked at Ben with a weird expression.
“Really? Special Raptor?” Neddy asked.
“I’m starting to reconsider letting you name mine,” Samuel admitted to Ben.
“Hey don’t blame me! I’m not the one who named her anyway…” Ben said with squinted eyes, “The leader did.”
Ben looked back at the door and knocked on it softly. Footsteps approached the door, and it creaked open, revealing a girl with flowing white hair that seemed to emit a subtle ethereal glow. Some of her white hair had dark spots, it was almost as if she was wearing the Moon atop her head.
“Skyler,” Ben said grimly.
“Hey Ben, I’m glad to see you’ve returned safely!” Skyler chimed cheerily. She looked at the friends Ben had brought eagerly, “And I see you’ve brought more members!”
“Where’s Tiffany? And why are you in her home?” Ben asked immediately.
“So this is not the leader of the camp,” Samuel thought as he looked at her, “Something happened while Ben was gone… And I’m assuming that Tiffany is the leader of the Book Club.”
“My my, Ben,” Skyler explained with a sigh, “Tiffany’s deserted the camp. Overnight she had disappeared. We looked everywhere for her, all around the area but she was nowhere to be found. So I took her stead.”
“Skyler it really is great you want to lead us, it really is, you are the president of the Book Club after all… before all this happened, but you haven’t even read the book! How will we know what to do next? How will we know where to go next-”
“You don’t have to worry about it, Ben,” Skyler hissed, “Because last night, I got information regarding this place last night. It turns out that there are multiple books which have this cursed island as their setting.”
“What? Impossible.”
“Completely,” Skyler smirked, “Remember that book that I tasked everyone to read together since I thought it was so good? At the beginning of our second semester, The Obelisk.”
“Really? You think that book has anything to do with this place?” Ben sneered with unamusement, “Yes, there may be some similar aspects, like the fact that that story had ancient dinosaurs too, and humans who tried their best to survive… But other than that that book is too unreliable to use as our source of information going forward!”
“It was revealed to me in a dream,” Skyler stated smugly.
“Oh you’ve gotta be kidding me. A dream?! What is this, the thirteen-hundreds?”
“You don’t believe me, but… the author of The Obelisk herself spoke to me in that dream,” Skyler replied, “She appeared as a beautiful, white dragon with three heads. She called herself Moonflight, and she told me that her story was the key to survival here on this island. She told me that the key to survival was the obelisks on this island… Just like in the story, where that dragon was able to harness the power of the Obelisk…”
“Seriously?”
“Yes seriously… And you know what happened after that? I was awoken to an earthquake, and when I went outside to check on the other members to see if they were okay, there they were. The Obelisks in all of their glory, and one is floating in the sky right next to us,” Skyler boomed as she pointed at the green Obelisk.
“And why didn’t this dragon of yours speak to anyone else except you?” Ben rebuked.
“Because I’m the author’s *biggest fan*!” Skyler exclaimed with a bright smile, “I mean, who wouldn’t give their biggest fan a warning? I’ve read her story since its birth, since its creation on that fanfiction platform… What was it called? The Deck? Dex? I don’t remember. But the last message she sent before she became inactive was… ‘Thank you so much for sticking with me the entire ride. I’ll publish my book soon, and you’ll be on the thank you page. I don’t think I’ll use this platform very often now that my story is finally finished… But I know yours hasn’t. I know we'll meet again some day.’”
“I-”
“If you don’t like that then you can leave,” Skyler said, pointing at the exit. Ben sighed, and shook his head.
“It’s not that, I’m just worried,” Ben responded, “I don’t want anyone here to get hurt.”
“I know you don’t,” Skyler said, “You want people to be safe. We’re your friends. You can count on me. I know what to do next. We will all survive.”
Ben nodded.
“Okay. Let’s just… leave it alone,” Ben solemnly mumbled. Skyler looked at Samuel, Aurora, Neddy, and Ruby with a smile and closed eyes.
“Well I’m glad to meet you all, you’ll have to excuse me and Ben’s argument. Sometimes we don’t get on the right foot because of our ideals, but we’re still friends anyway,” Skyler reassured them. Skyler turned to Ben, whose face had brightened up again, “Ben, I’ll let the new members get acclimated, then I’ll call a meeting and brief everyone on what to do next.”
Ben nodded in affirmation.
“Different ideals, huh?” Samuel thought as his eyes darted around the complex, “I’m sure the others here can give me some clues on Ben and Skyler. What exactly are these ideals? And why did this Tiffany lady disappear?”
Skyler yawned, waved goodbye, and shut the door, leaving Samuel and his allies to meet new people on their own.
“Well, I guess you guys can just wander around and meet my friends,” Ben told the four, “I have to check up on my farm, I need to make sure they’ve been properly taken care of by Sunny.”
Ben trotted off, and with nothing left to do, the allies decided to explore.
Protectors of Pandora
Chapter 44 ~the journey to the mines~
The group headed east, as that was the direction the chalicotherium said that the person who brought the element shipments came from. It was a hard journey, the weather was good but it was still a frozen tundra. At one point they had to cross a frozen lake, and Lee fell in, luckily, he’s a kairuku so he was fine. They eventually reached a forest, inside they met a thylacoleo he was quite rude, but told them about a cave where purlovias used to come in and out, sometimes with a very shiny metal in paw. So they headed in the direction that the thyla grumpily gestured towards.
“So who’s going first.” Ping asked when they reached the tunnel entrance. “Not me, I’m too old to die in a hole.” Wan said. “HAH cowards! I shall do it!” Quan said, he ran into the cave yelling his battle cry, “AHHHHHHHHHGGGGHGGHGHGH!” He yelled. “Well, he sounds fine. Let’s go.” Richard said. The group walked into the tunnel, Quan was a little ways in the cave sobbing. “What’s wrong Quan?” George asked. “I- I was not met with instant glorious battle…” he said sadly.
They walked down the winding tunnel for a wile until they heard a noise. “What was that?” Ron asked. “I don’t know.. everyone stay vigilant.” Charles said. “I am vigilance!!” Quan boasted.
He was not, the purlovia jumped him first followed by its friends. They bursted out of the ground and leapt at the group, there was five purlovias in total, the wolves and three perlovias engaged in a dog fight like combat wile the other two attacked the birds, Quan had a small battle hammer, and we swung in around insanely, trickster threw some of his new smoke bombs he made on the way, this wasn’t very helpful because purlovia use their hearing and smell more than sight anyway so the smoke was actually a hindrance. The pengujas and Ron fought the purlovias as hard as they could but they were strong creatures, and when the two had finished the birds they helped their comrades with the wolves, the group had been defeated.
Dun dun DUNNNN!

The house of madness
Chapter fourteen: always.
Whenever Marvelo finally left Tom dank backward into his throne, still shaking violently. He took a breath and closed his eyes for a fraction of a second. Or so he thought….
Tom was in a meadow. The rising sun shone its golden rays on the flowers making them shine. A woman was suddenly in front of him. Her long golden blonde hair swirled around her face like a glossy curtain. Her eyes were a bright blue. “Tom! Come dance with me!” She said, her face lighting up like a ray of sun. She took him by the hands and stared deeply into his eyes. Tom gazed into her eyes. They were so blue and as deep as the ocean, they held so much love and patience. She giggled and then they spun through the meadow. For once in forever Tom cast away any worries or anger. All he could think of or focus on was her. The woman he loved. The woman he missed. They spun the through the meadow, through the blossoming flowers, through the clover. It lasted for what felt like forever until they paused in a bed of roses. “I miss you.” Tom said. The woman reached out and traced his lips with her finger. “Tom, I miss you too but I never left you.” She said. Tom gripped her hand desperately. “Please…don’t leave me!” He begged. She giggled. “Oh Tom, you’re so silly! I never left you. I will be with you forever no matter what….always.” She gently loosened his hands from hers. “Always.” She whispered. Then she spun away across the fields. Tom ran after her but was unable to catch up. “Wait come back! Don’t leave me!” Tom called. She kept spinning faster and faster, farther and farther until she was gone. Tom collapsed to his knees. She was gone. Again.
Tom sat up on his throne breathing hard. He must have dozed off. It had felt so real. Her words echoed in his head. “Always.” Tom trembled. He had things to do, more important things besides sleeping! “Easy Tom. Everyone needs sleep.” He thought to himself. Tom let his mind wander. Who was hunting peacekeepers? Maybe he could read the person’s mind and find out who it was! Tom’s eyes rolled upward and he searched and probed with his mind but he couldn’t find out the person. He couldn’t read the person’s thoughts! Suddenly a face flashed in his mind. A face changed with time, with age, and filled with resentment. An friend from Tom’s youth. Tom sighed. “And so old friend we meet again.”

The Isle Of The Griffins Chapter 18
After a journey of roughly three days, Lolite and the two griffins had gotten within sight of the continent of Erythala. From the small Isle they were currently positioned on, it appeared to simply end somewhere in the clouds:
The entire continent seemed to be made of huge spires and plateaus of sunset orange rock reaching eternally upward through the sky, the only signs of a top being the trailing roots of air-plants clinging to the cliff faces somewhere in the mist.
"Ah, there it is" Grappleclaw said, looking on at the colossal structures, around which pelagornis flapped in the distance to and from their nests on the rock.
Käärme chattered and squealed in agreement, attracting a local Ichthyornis, which the dilo proceeded to devour before it could cause trouble.
Goldenbeak took flight for the continent, flapping up a cloud of sand and dust,
While Grappleclaw picked up Käärme in her front talons and flapped up into the air as well.
Lolite hopped off the ground and glided over the sea between the last Isle and the continent, splashing his tail feathers in the water to remain airborne for longer until splashing down into the sea, swimming the rest of the way among wild salmon and rare surface anglerfish which gazed upon him with massive eyes like pools of mercury but chose not to come closer.
Reaching the thin strip of red gravel that served as a beach for the continent, Lolite rested for a few seconds on the stones before hooking In his paws and scuttling up the rock face, stopping to regain energy on a precarious ledge home to myriads of seabirds and fishing pteranodons, a very strangely behaving argent flew close to him and grabbed one small Ichthyornis from the rock face, feasting on it on the wing, and he continued upward over the rough rock face.
Climbing became somewhat swifter when air-feeding roots began to appear in a tangled thicket about halfway up, offering better grip than the bare stone. And he soon enough had crawled through a dense layer of clouds.
Bursting through the vapourous barrier, Lolite crawled atop the cliff, briefly his vision blurred, the entire world reducing to bizarre abstract shapes of surreally bright colour, two big brown blobs suddenly began fluctuating in and out of reality, getting closer and larger while extending hundreds of tentacles and legs, but quickly his third lung began breathing the thin air, and as the world reverted to a more comprehensible landscape of bluish green grasses and hardy shrubs with spiny triangular leaves and mejoberries growing in clumps on their thorned branches. The pair of monstrosities slowly morphed and shrunk into Goldenbeak and Grappleclaw, while what had been an indistinct puce circle turned into Käärme the dilo.
"That. . . Was bizarre" Lolite noted.
"The hallucinations are always odd" Goldenbeak said "they tend not to happen once you've gotten used to the thinner air"
So me and my friend trapped a griffin and started shooting at it with tranq darts, but then we ran out of ammo and we were too far away from our base to make more, so we decided to try to knock it with a slingshot.. it took over 1,250 stone and one hit to the head with a club but we did it.
-Jerboa travels-
Chapter 1.
Helen sat in the plane thinking about her destination and what kinds of animals she might find there. Maybe some rare crossbreeds! Suddenly a large boom interrupted her thoughts. BOOM! “The plane is going down!” The pilot yelled. Helen rushed in vain to where the parachutes where. But it was too late. The plane crash-landed and everything went black.
Later Helen woke up in a world she had never seen before (The arks) with strange new creatures…

I woke up it was dark but there was light. I realized there were metal walls all around me but it wasn’t like the base there was meta above me too I was trapped the tamping rex was asleep next to me. I tried breaking the metal but it was no use I couldn’t.
There was a door so I hoped that Bella or Erica would come threw it. I heard yelling and then a bomb exploded the door! I still couldn’t fit but I could see through there was Erica! She said “give us back ruby and storm Tyler!!” Storm must be the rex but I have no idea who Tyler is. Storm woke up a couple minutes later. I heard only Erica at first but then I heard a her come if on crystal! More bombs I could almost get through suddenly I saw Erica get picked up by talons! But not like mine they had no feathers. I could no longer see Erica or Bella.

One day, I was flying around on my Argentavis when I found a pond with a bunch of silica pearls. (I was on Fjourdur) I got off my argy and started collecting the silica pearls until I heard my Argy taking damage. I saw that a Griffin was attacking it. My argy was strong and I knew it would win so I just waited for it, not wanting to risk dying myself. But they both started flying up in circles when I got distracted by terror birds. I was able to kill them with my sword, but when I looked for my argy I couldn't find him. That was until I saw a dead Griffin fall from the sky. I looked up and saw that it was SO HIGH that I could barely render it. He was too far for me to whistle follow or anything, so I literally had to use my only tranq arrows to tame a Pteranodon, then I had to go make its saddle. Then I had to fly up and whistle it follow. I'm never collecting silica pearls from there again
