Me and my tribe mate got two LV 450 super mutated manas on a PvE server. I names mine pussy cat, and I loved her dearly. We did so much together. Until, something terrible happened. I went a friend’s base and he had a male mana. We Bred our manas, and I was bringing pussy cat back home. While we rocket jumped over water, I ran out of jumps . Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem because manas are great swimmers. However, she landed on top of 3 max lv jellies. I got killed trying to fight them off, and I screamed in the chat, begging for my tribe mate to rescue her. When I gave him the coordinates he imidiantly rushed to rescue her. I waited, fingers crossed, for her to be okay. U saw his nana rocketing back home. His man’s was bloody and when I looked at it’s up, 1500 out of 25K hp. Then he uncryod my beloved pussy cat. She had lost the baby from being cryopodded , but she was alive. Barely. 200 out of 26k HP. I was so glad she was okay. Then, one day, my freind stopped playing. It was sad, and I didn’t know him irl so I couldn’t reach him. So, I ended up giving my dad his mana. My dad then lost the mana a month later, the same fate pussy cat almost had, to the jellies. Then, we went on vacation. When I came back, I was happy to find my mana still alive. However, I forgot to do something that got her killed.

I forgot to refill the feeding trough.

An idiots mistake, and I lost my beloved to it.

This happened in 2021, and I still mourn her to this day.

It could have been prevented

And that’s why it’s my fault.

Love you pussycat. -Rune

Born in a disaster

She was just born but the volcano was erupting! (Not any ark map its my own map) the volcano has not erupted in centuries! No one knew it was still there because it was covered in snow her mother picked her up very fast and bounced to the snow queen and left her there in the queens domain and the mother stayed. The child was cufused her eyes would be closed for a 3 more weeks. The child was odd her colors shined and the parts that where supposed to be white where Black as night. The parts that where supposed to be light blue where the color of stars and the part that was supposed to be black was blood moon red.

T.B.C

They had finally gotten home. She walked in her and her mothers dome (dome is Manas name for a house). When she closed the door her mother came out fury radiating from her as she hissed quietly "You pulled another one of your damn stunts again Bloodmoon?" She glared at her mother berfore looking away at her mothers statue. She could still never get over how it was big as her mother and had so much detail. "DAMN IT BLOODMOON!" Her mother would bellow. This was normal and started with those same sentences every single time. She'd shoot her gaze back at her mother "Is there and issue 'your Gernral Snow'Storm?' " She'd hiss mocking her. Her mother would hiss grabbing her daughters chin and pulling her closer making her flich a bit as it hurt "By all the glaciers if you keep this up ill be thrown down even lower than what i am now and you KNOW as the Genral im not afraid to do what i said i would if i get thrown lower again." Bloodmoon would look away silent "Good." Her mother would hiss walking off.

Also very sorry its a bit late! Lets try even harder and get up to 8 likes for another?

-Chapter 71-

Forest quickly reached forward and fumbled to pick up the rune. He snatched it up and held it close to his chest, looking up to Moonbeam with wide eyes.

“Why do you have that?” Moonbeam whispered.

“W—we found it,” Forest answered quietly.

“Well get rid of it,” Moonbeam hissed. She turned away.

“Wait!” Forest called, scrambling over to her. He put one talon on her shoulder to stop her, and she reeled around and roared in his face. “Keep that thing away from me!” she snapped.

“We have questions,” Forest pleaded. “We don’t understand! Why? Whats wrong with it?”

Moonbeam stared at him blankly. “You should know by now.”

“But we don’t,” Spark joined in.

“Moonbeam?” Nyx asked from the entrance to the den. She spotted Forest and the rune, her expression changing from confused to frightened in a matter of seconds.

“Did you know about this?” Moonbeam demanded.

Nyx struggled to answer, her mouth half open.

Moonbeam whipped towards Spark, hissing, “if you want you and your friends to live, make him get rid of that rune!”

“They cant.” Nyx burst out. “Forest has already made the bond.”

Moonbeam froze, unspeaking. She slowly moved her head to stare at Forest, who gripped the rune tighter in his claws. “Great skystars,” She murmured, closing his eyes for a moment.

“That rune is the main reason we started searching for you Shadowmanes in the first place,” Spark explained to Moonbeam. “So please, please tell us: what is it, and why is everyone so afraid of it?”

Moonbeam didn’t speak for another, long moment. “Fine. I’ll tell you.”

“A rune is not just a piece of metal or stone. They are powerful pieces of living energy, hacked out of the Obelisks they came from and cast down to our world. Under certain circumstances they can be more powerful that Element itself. They can build. Destroy. Save. Kill.”

“What kind of circumstances?” Spark asked.

“Bonding,” Nyx whispered.

Moonbeam hesitated. “When a rune is found by someone, it links itself to the keeper’s life force, forming a bond that grows stronger over time. The keeper and the rune become one, sharing a mutual desire to protect each other forever. We don’t know how or why, but we do know that much.”

“How do you know?” Asked Spark.

“Because its happened before.” Moonbeam stated grimly. “Years ago, when most of us were still in Asgard, a Shadowmane found a rune. Took it everywhere with him. bragged about it all the time. But things didn’t go well for long. weeks passed, and eventually, it was all he thought of. Never let go of it. He would spend hours just holding it, staring at it.”

“The next moon,” Nyx continued, “the camp decided it was too dangerous for him to keep it. They tried to take it from him…”

“It destroyed them.” Moonbeam finished. “And him too.”

Nobody spoke. the distant screech of a Troodon was the only sound in the dark, silent den.

Forest looked down to see his claws trembling around the small, meaningless object. Still shaking, he carefully loosened his grip and set it down on the cave floor.

“Why?” Crimson breathed, moving her gaze to Nyx.

“Why what?” Nyx asked.

“Why didn’t you ever tell us this?” Crimson asked her, her voice rising to a growl.

“I—” Nyx swallowed hard, her eyes wide with panic. “I was going to tell you,” She stammered quickly.

“But you didn’t,” Crimson snarled quietly. “You never told us! When we needed answers the most, when you had answers, you said nothing!”

“No, I—”

“Save it for someone who cares,” Crimson growled. She whirled around and stomped away.

Nyx dropped her head low to the ground, crestfallen. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.

Forest glanced back at Crimson, then the others.

“Come on, Nyx,” Moonbeam said softly. “You wanna find another cave to sleep in?”

Nyx shook her head. “I’m fine here.”

“Ok.” Moonbeam nudged Nyx with her tail and left the den.

By the time everyone was curled up in their own spot, Forest found himself a small ledge to climb into. Resting the sack and scrolls by his side, he laid his head on the cold gray stone, setting the rune in front of him. Night crawled in, and the last thing Forest saw was the rune beside him before sleep finally came.

I just started my ark extinction run and some of my friends had already tuned Rex's, and were making fun of me because I'm bad. So I was wandering on my pterodactyl when I saw a 130 Managarmr and knocked it out. And it tamed really quick. So I went to my friends to show them, and they just logged off. I named my new favorite tame snowy!

This is the next story in the Swamp Saga! It’s set on Extinction, after the kapros and humans defeated Rockwell.

Nox woke up and saw the sun. The sun that had so long hidden itself in the dark aberrant caverns. It was welcoming. And bright.

Everyone was used to this feeling. Waking up with nearly nothing after a potentially fatal battle. Except this time, the battle was fatal. They had lost Chiron.

“This isn’t Aberration.” Sean sighed. “Had a feeling you lunatics would bring me to some other ark.”

“This isn’t an ark.” Haphis snarled. “It’s earth.”

Haphis had woken up alongside the others, but they weren’t yet strong enough to fight. His corruption had grown even more, and now he had black and purple wings. Jenny suspected those were Flare’s wings he had tore off.

“Welcome to planet earth.” He laughed. “It’s a real hellhole, isn’t it?”

“What did you do?” Slav growled.

“Nothing...yet.” Haphis grinned, then disappeared in his traditional sneaky manner.

“At least the rest of us aren’t dead yet.” Pouncer groaned.

“I have a feeling we will be...soon enough.”

One day in a blizzard a beautiful managarmer named blood moon was hiding underneath of a snow pile. The snow cave very deep under frozen water a waterfall is the hidden entrance, and as blood moon went to grab a quick dodo dinner. she heard the voice of a male managamer saying May I come in very politely blood moon said yes, anything to help a fellow managarmer. The managarmer said his name was floom as blood, moon and flume sat together, keeping each other, warm, floom blushed under his gray and blue coat of fur And blood moon blushed under her red coat of fur after three years blood moon didn’t feel the best and didn’t want to go out and hunt with floom because she did not feel very well. Flume said it’s fine and he will be fine. when flume was out to hunt for dodos, he heard blood moon, screaming in pain. He rushed to the cave and noticed 19 baby managarmer’s. They were all adorable, blood moon named and she miscounted. It was only five babies, but she felt like more we’re coming she named the five babies Prodi cleo junior prowler and Apex. five years later, blood moon still didn’t have any babies she felt like all she would have would be no more than five as blood moon went out to hunt floom was watching the kids while floom was feeding Prodi Apex tried to sneak out of the caverns to go hunt with her mom but flume grabbed Apex‘s tale and gave her a bath and Apex didn’t want to take a bath in the warm water. She would prefer cold, so when she was put in the tub. she used her ice breath to freeze up the water and make it colder after Apex, his bath Apex tried to sneak out of the cave again this time she made it through the cold running water and found her mom when blood moon turned around with a dead dodo in her mouth she saw Apex wagging, her tail, looking hungry and wanting to hunt blood moon, drop to the dodo, grab the dodo with her tail and grabbed Apex by the scruff Apex did not want to stay inside all the time she wanted to go out and hunt after blood moon, put the dead dodo on a pile of leaves she pushed Apex into her bed, asking flume why he didn’t grab Apex at before she left the cave Apex thought it was a perfect time to go hunt her own dildo she snuck out of bed but just before she could go her sister Prodi confronted her telling their mom blood moon was furious with Apex so blood moon used her ice breath to make a pen for Apex so she wouldn’t try and sneak out again. Apex didn’t know how to use her rocket feet yet so she couldn’t jump out or climb out. The ice was too slippery. but Apex got her favorite part of the dodo, the leg with a little bit of extra blood after Apex had a nice meal she fell asleep in her bed Junior wanted to go hunt but she was very patient and waited until her time came. Prodi was a little too scared to leave the Cave so she was fine with staying inside. She did not want to leave every time she was offered to go hunt some dildos with blood moon she said I was born in this cave, and I’m gonna stay in this Cave. blood moon said all right suit yourself effects that it wasn’t fair that she never got offered to go out for a hunt after this cream of water was almost finished in the cave, there wasn’t enough to even lick a bit perfect moment to get out of the cage blood moon, left the Cave to get a nice big bowl of water Apex tried to get a drink from the lake in the Cave, but there wasn’t enough. There wasn’t enough to even lick a bit. Apex complained that she was super thirsty and her throat was dry flume said fine go get a drink from the waterfall and come right back. Apex looked at the waterfall and she stuck out her tongue but only caught one droplet of water Apex told flume that the waterfall wasn’t running any water and that she had to actually leave the cave to get a drink from said junior. Can I trust you to go with Apex so you tue can get a drink and try to bring back a bowl of water so we can have a drink Apex left the cave with Junior to get a bowl of water but they noticed the river outside wasn’t running either. They lost the cave and couldn’t find their way back home. They how old for their mother but blood moon couldn’t hear them so they tried to hell louder they even break their ice into the sky as a signal, but it didn’t go high enough. they wandered around the forest very very terrified of what could happen they saw scary shadow on the rocky wall and it was just their mother black now she questioned what are you two doing out here Junior explained there was no water in the cave no water from the waterfall and the river outside was empty. We tried to look for the cave, but we couldn’t make our way back. We how old we we froze the skies but you didn’t come moon said well I heard a faint howling I thought it was. One of you calling for help? I was worried, and I followed the sound of the howling and I saw the trees were a little more frozen than usual, so I came follow me. I know the way back. next story on rockdrake.by dino nerd
