Riddles of the Phoenixes series

Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes.

Chapter three: New cell mates and old friends.

Jack awoke from a nap to the sound of his cell door creaking open loudly and someone yelling. Jack sat upright and faced the door. Two British guard were struggling to get a man and a woman into the cell Jack was in. “Let go of me you filthy scum!” The man yelled. One of the British soldiers yanked the woman by her hair. “No, no, no I don’t like being touched!” The woman complained. “Don’t touch her punk!” The man yelled. Finally they got the prisoners in the cell. The guards slammed the door behind them. “Well that didn’t go the way I wanted it.” The man said. “Ya think?” The woman spat. The woman had long curled chestnut colored hair and greenish eyes and the man had brown hair and brown eyes. Jack watched them with narrowed eyes. “What are you looking at?” The woman asked. “Nothing.” Jack said quickly. The man chuckled. “This place seems…cozy. Who are you?” He asked Jack. “Jack. Why do you- wait…y’all look familiar. Do I know y’all? Who are y’all?” Jack questioned his cell mates. “I am Eric and this is my lovely w- I mean partner Elizabeth.” The man said. “Wait what? Eric? Elizabeth?” Jack sputtered. “Yeah, why do you care?” Elizabeth asked. “It’s me Jack! From Tortuga!” Jack exclaimed. “Jack?!” Eric exclaimed. “Jack.” Elizabeth said. “How are y’all still alive? And why are y’all here?” Jack asked. “Well-” Eric began. Elizabeth cleared her throat and shot him a look. Eric gave a uneasy chuckle. “Well it’s a long story.” Eric said. “Before we tell you, if we tell you, we have to escape from here.” Elizabeth said in a low voice. “How?” Elizabeth and Eric exchanged looks and then looked back at Jack. “We miggghhht have some ideas.”

Chapter 48: Knowers

Part 2/2

“What about Dr. Aston?” Loki argued, “Can’t he do it?”

“He cannot. You know he’s an old man, he’s not fit for combat,” Mr. Ma replied, “And it cannot be me either. I have to take care of this place. I’m counting on YOU to help me with these people.”

“But I-I can’t!” Loki protested, “I can’t just kill innocent people-”

“But you can.”

“What?!”

“Loki, didn’t you just…” Mr. Ma paused, catching his words and stopping himself from speaking any further, “Nevermind.”

A memory of Loki’s flew by his eyes. Flying over the green Obelisk, and spotting a group of seven with a variety of tames, he had thrown a grenade once they were distracted to stop them. He wasn’t thinking right… But there was no denying he had tried hurting innocent people.

“Please Loki. There’s no one else who can do this but you. They can raze our home if we don’t deal with them!”

Loki rubbed his eyes and leaned back.

“Fine. FINE. I’ll- I’ll do it.”

“Great,” Mr. Ma said with a smile, “I expect you to do it… uhhh, tomorrow?”

“Okay. Sure.”

“Great. Okay, thanks,” Mr. Ma said, “Um. And one more thing. Get some good sleep, okay? The living quarters are pretty much done with construction. You won’t have to deal with the bad smell anymore.”

“Thanks… I guess?”

“Alright. Well… Have a good night.”

Loki got up from his seat, and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him and being greeted with the smell of narcotics.

But as Loki stood there… He felt as if there was something off about Mr. Ma.

Loki looked around. Dr. Aston was nowhere in sight. He was probably taking care of the construction. Loki walked past the window that was on the door to the office, and took his karambit out. The reflection of the blade showed him what was happening inside Mr. Ma’s office. Mr. Ma was clenching his fists, and he looked really angry.

Then he slammed his fists into the desk. He swiped the items off his desk and slammed the drawer of his desk open, reaching into it impatiently and taking a knife out. Loki’s eyes widened, his heart beginning to beat faster and faster as Mr. Ma got up from his chair and began walking over to the door.

But then Mr. Ma stopped. He paused, blinked his eyes, and then dropped the knife onto the ground. It clattered, and he buried his face in his hands.

“No, no no NO, not now… Not now I need to wait. Tonight. Tonight and I won’t have to worry anymore,” Mr. Ma shouted. He picked up his knife, walked over to the desk, and put it back in the drawer, closing it shut.

Loki exited the complex without hesitation, still looking back every few seconds before making his way back to his living quarters.

Chapter 48: Knowers

Part 1/2

After Loki’s threat, many of the settlement’s scholars had helped create a saddle for Crusher. The rest of the day was spent hunting and gathering, for both Crusher and the people.

But, there were still things that had to be settled.

As Loki was feeding scraps of meat to Crusher, Mr. Ma walked up to Loki and cleared his throat.

“Loki? We need to have a talk. A talk about the Knowers.”

Loki took a huff of air and closed his eyes, gently brushing his long, luscious black hair to the side.

“Fine.”

Loki and Mr. Ma made their way into Mr. Ma’s office, where Loki found himself sitting back on that chair, facing Mr. Ma once more. Compared to last time when Loki had returned from his scouting trip, the room seemed a lot more messy and disorganized. Crates all around the room were scattered and opened up, and there were light scratches and marks on the walls. Loki got a bad feeling walking into the place.

It didn’t really help Mr. Ma’s implant was glowing.

“So, uh, what were we gonna talk about?”

“The Knowers near the Redwood Forests. The ones you told me you saw taming a Tyrannosaurus. There were… how many again?” Mr. Ma asked. His right eye looked duller, and his left eye was fully shut. Odd.

“There were two, Mr. Ma.”

“Two. Hmm, we can definitely take them,” Mr. Ma replied with sudden nonchalance.

“I still don’t get why we can’t just be allies with them,” Loki said, “That would be triple the knowledge! We’d be even more unstoppable working together!”

Mr. Ma scratched his chin, then shook his head.

“Hmm, no. Most certainly not, I should’ve been the only one to know how to tame these beasts. The only way they could know is… the book. And there’s nothing more to learn so,” Mr. Ma concluded, “They are nothing more than an active threat to our survival. They must be slain.”

“Book? What book is he talking about?” Loki thought.

“Okay, but have we figured out who’s gonna… you know, finish the job?” Loki asked, uncomfortably shifting in his seat.

“Yes, yes I have,” Mr. Ma replied. Loki noticed that perspiration was building on his forehead. Which was strange considering they lived in the tundra.

“It’s going to be you, Loki.”

Loki’s eyes widened and he scooted back in his seat.

“WHAT?! Me? But- I thought we agreed someone else was going to!”

“Change of plans,” Mr. Ma said, “You know your peers are not to be trusted with our resources. And you are the only person I can trust to do this job.”

The Obelisk

-Chapter 64-

The map lay spread out on a flat boulder, the sun reflecting off its weathered surface. The Five studied it closely.

“I have no idea,” Spark said.

“Well, wherever we’re going, it’s gotta be good,” Rust observed. He tapped his claws on the lower part of the map. “we can’t go this way or this way, because of the recent human packs roaming there.”

“I’m not afraid of humans,” Crimson said.

“Well you should be.” Rust gave her a neutral look. “They are very aggressive, and quite smart. Trust me.”

Forest tilted his head at the map, then at Rust. “But I thought that—“

“Yeah, I know. Gossips gotten the best of us this year. No matter what other carnivores or even scrolls say, they are not to be reckoned with.”

“They may be dangerous,” Spark said slowly, “but I wouldn’t worry about them too much. We can’t overestimate them either. Humans are very weak. They don’t have scales or fur to protect them. But I agree, no human encounters is definitely safer.”

“I’ve never seen a human up close before,” Nyx said.

“Me neither.” Forest admitted.

“I hope I never do,” Rust exclaimed. “Humans scare me. And I’m not as tough as I look.”

“REALLY?” Crimson gasped, making Nyx jump. “Rust, You’re NOT All Knowing and All Powerful?”

“Maybe,” Rust said to her. “But I am All Handsome, that’s for sure.”

Crimson rolled her eyes. “Shut up already.”

“Oh!” Nyx’s blue eyes widened. “I know where we can go!” She turned and gestured for the map. “May I?”

Forest nodded and picked up the map. He carefully handed it over to her.

She sat down on her haunches and studied the map for a short minute. “Here,” she said finally. “We can go here!”

The other edged around to see where she was pointing. It was a small scrap of land right outside the Lindbjord forest, in between a few large, pretty looking hills.

“It’s my home,” Nyx explained. “The Shadowmane camp. It’s the safest place to stay.”

“But I thought the Shadowmanes lived in Asgard,” Spark said with a puzzled expression.

“Oh, you never heard?” Nyx asked her. “The Shadowmanes we’re driven out of Asgard about five years ago, before I was born.”

“That’s too bad,” Spark said.

“Yeah,” Nyx said sadly. “I’ve never even been to our old home. It’s just a lonely, forgotten forest now.”

A small dab of sympathy for Nyx went through Forest. The Shadowmanes had lived in the Realm of Asgard for many decades, and Nyx’s unlucky generation never got to see it. ‘the scrolls I grew up reading…’ Forest thought, ‘they’re all so outdated.’

“Our new home is great, though.” Nyx said. “I grew up there. Since Father is still at Runheimr, Orbit should be in charge of the camp right now. He’s the nicest! We have to go there!”

“You sure they’re safe?” Crimson questioned.

“Believe me, you can trust them. I just hope that they trust you.” Nyx bit her bottom lip thoughtfully, then brightened. “But I’m sure they will! So should we go??”

“I think it’s worth the try,” Forest said, glancing at the others.

“Sure,” said Rust with a shrug.

“OK.” Spark and Crimson said.

“Then let’s go!” Nyx jumped up and handed the map to Forest, and he folded it and placed it inside his sack. “If we get going now,” she said, “we’ll get there by sunhigh tomorrow!”

To Calem,

If you didn’t see my last tip, I just wanted to tell you I can’t wait to read yur story, and you have full permission! (Not that you need it, this sounds great!)

I just ask that you PLEASE start it in Yutranus and continue up tamables like you suggested. It’s the tidiest way to go.

I have a few name ideas for yur characters!

First of all, for the Yutrannus, it kinda depends on her color. If she’s a more bluish color you can call her Icicle, Teal, Frost or after some kind of polar plant or tree. If she’s a more white color she could be Snowflake or Snowstorm. If she’s more gray, There is Slush, Fox or Storm. Of course, these are just suggestions.

Now, for the Andrewsarchus. Names for him could be Throng, Thrush, Ram, Baobab, Scorn and a whole lot more awesome names.

The other one was a Basilisk! OK, now, in my story they have random names like Calin, Heron, Spike and a lot more random stuff. This guy seems like the names Flick, Denen and Qill would suit him. Again, just suggestions, but I REALLY feel like I might love this character! (I’ve actually been planning on making a male Basilisk somewhere in the future, so I’m very excited others are right now!)

And last was a Sinomacrops. Name him after some kind of butterfly or moth. Also depends on his color. Look up SilkWing names, idk.

Hope these helped! Can’t wait to see yur story!!!!

I had never seen these before in ark, so when I flew over to the swamp I saw two crawl out of the water towards me and I was like, what the but the I tried to knock it out but I hit my pt so I was like, oh crap but I knocked him out in the water!! Then the leaches got on me and I was freaking out and then a titanoboa killed me 🥲

This looks like a leech but different

This is just an overgrown leach

Fun fact, on iPad these guys don’t exist. The computer people are in Heck. A lot of dinosaurs on computer don’t exist on iPad, so we’re mostly getting some of the dinosaurs.
