Trilobite life chapter 3 ( you can find chapter 1 in the trilobite section and chapter 2 in the leedsicthys section)
Today was a strange day a man, a human male was traveling and found me. I didn’t wanna have beef with him so I turned away very shy. Before I could even react I feel a large force slamming into my back. “W-WHY” I yell out, but they can’t understand us. I swim into the water trying to get away but he swims after me. But suddenly I feel no more pain. Well at least no more additional pain my shell still hurts from that beating but it took me while to notice how far I actually swam I look up and to my shock o see that the human got clapped a megalodon. “That has gotta hurt”, I said while digging into the sand trying to hide from the Meg before she makes me a nice crunchy snack. I begin to rest after being a few feet below the sand... TBC

It seems chapter four probably won’t post, so I’ll give a summary.
The main character explores the realm of the light, a place made of marble, gold and all that. Then, “The Light” wants to meet the main character where it then explains that humans can’t usually wield weapons of light and void well, and training is required. The Light then says that the first light, the original ruler said that a human would wield her blade, so The Light takes the main character to the blade. The main character then proceeds to attempt to pull the sword out of marble that is shaped like a rock. The sword comes out, and the lightborne were also watching, interested. Then the main character was assigned a room and training sessions. That’s everything that happened.

Passive tame? Passive my ass.
They're anything but passive when they come up to you.
And don't forget to set your water mounts to neutral. Lost my Megalodon in less than 24 hours because one sneaked past my behemoth gate and slaughtered him on passive. Rip Zack. I named my megalodon that because I once had a Labrador retriever called Zack who would chomp like a shark when He ate.. [^] to let others know!!!

Chapter 1 “Beginnings”
I woke up, got out of bed. I headed towards the mines. I knew the tribe needed more metal, and it would be good to start getting some.
“Hey!” I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, and saw my friend, Keith.
“Hello. I was gonna go to the mines and get some metal for the tribe.” I said
“It’s a bit dangerous down there, don’t you think? Anyways, goodluck. I was assigned to tame some creatures since there’s been some new people.” Keith said.
“Got it. I’ll see you later, Keith.” I said. I was in a bit of a rush, you could say.
“See you too, John.” Keith said, before leaving. I realized I forgot to grab my equipment, so I left to do that. A little bit later, I came back, prepared. Sword sheathed, pickaxe in my hands, ready to mine. I went down into the mines. It took a little while to get to metal and other ores, but I was able to do it. I started to mine some iron, with a minecart right behind me to put the ores in.
* * *
It was a little bit later, but I had mined a lot. I decided to go deeper instead of depositing, which may have been the wrong move. Once I had made it deeper, I was about to mine something but then, I heard something calling me. Who could it be? I turned around, nothing to be seen.
“Come… closer.” I heard it say.
“Want to… help.” It said again. I stood there, for about 5 seconds straight and then decided to follow the voice.
“Deeper…” It said. I went deeper, leaving the minecart and my pick axe behind. I unsheathed my sword, just in case something were to attack me.
“Why have you… unsheathed your weapon?” It asked me. How did it see me? I didn’t respond, but I went deeper. These caves go very, very deep. I felt that I wanted to turn back, but something was pulling me forward, keeping me from turning back. I don’t even know how deep I am in the mines, but it didn’t matter, or did it?
“Stop.” The voice said. Suddenly, the stone floor cracked and I fell through it. I landed on more stone, and it wasn’t a very long drop either. I looked up, and I could definitely get out of here. I looked around my surroundings, and all I saw was that I am in a small room, with a dark colored liquid surrounding it.
“You’ve ventured far enough.” It said.
“What do you mean?” I replied.
“You are a foolish one to come down to MY LAIR!” It bellowed. Suddenly, a large, dark shape rose from the dark liquid. It had a meaty body and long, thin arms. The fingers looked sharp enough to cut a rex up in less than 5 seconds. It had a decently sized head for its body. I could see horns curving upwards from both sides of the creatures head. The eyes were the only part that wasn’t a black color. I looked it in the eyes, and drew my blade.
“Ah, you think YOU CAN FIGHT ME?” It said, doubting me.
“Maybe I could!” I said.
“I AM THE VOID, LITTLE ONE! YOU CANT DEFEAT ME!” It bellowed. Suddenly, many dark, humanoid shapes rose from the dark liquid. What did this thing call itself, The Void? That sounded ominous, but it doesn’t matter right now. My life is in danger and if I don’t do something, I could die.
“My Voidborne will kill you, foolish one. You cannot escape!” It said. Suddenly, the dark humanoid shapes ran at me. He had called these “Voidborne.” I looked up, and I jumped. I barely grabbed the edge of the stone. I quickly climbed up and ran. The Voidborne were there, and they were chasing me! I threw my sword at it, almost phasing through it. I ran as fast as I could, watching out for anything dangerous or anything that could trip me. I got higher and higher, and the voidborne were still chasing. Eventually I got to the mine cart. I pushed it at the voidborne with great force. It hit the voidborne and pushed them back. I ran to the exit of the mines, hoping I had escaped.
Me, my friend, and my brother were taming a megalodon on ragnarok. Right after we tamed it mantas came and started beating it up. It was able to take out a couple mantas before dying. We were pretty disappointed so we tried to get another shark. We did it and we were actually able to get it close to base but then a swarm of mantas came and killed it. Our turtle, Tuttle, as we called him, tried to come to the rescue. I saw a fire in his eyes that I had never seen before. It charged headfirst onto the fray, but in the end, both tames had died. RIP to all three pets that were lost that day.
Found a basilosaurus once being follow by two of these mad little pancakes I accidentally hit the basil and got swarmed by life 50 of the mad pancakes I screamed before they killed me they killed my level 100 meg they are like a swat team for the basil I started crying then my mum walked in and asked why I was crying I explained then she gave me the look

So, yesterday I tamed my first Megalodon (around lvl 105), I went outside of our base to test it. Killed a bunch of other megalodons and mantas. That was pretty easy. Went back to base. An hour later, my megalodon died...ONE OF THE FUCKING MANTAS FOLLOWED ME AND ENTERED VERY SNEAKY IN MY BASE AND KILLED MY FUCKING MEGALODON. It was a lvl 5 so it took a fucking hour to kill my megalodon. Those are bitches. Update: I tamed another megalodon today. Lvl 200. Fuck mantas.
These things are flat out demons that will show up at the stupidest and the worst times. I was on crystal isles and in a weird location near about three other biomes so the spawns were pretty wacky, and one day I had boated across the lake near my base to check out the other side and unfortunately I got ambushed by a pack of hyenadons and when I respawned on my boat bed they just killed me again and I had to swim back across to go get my stuff, which I did with no trouble at all, no mantas in sight, just a cute icthy. The problem now was that I had a pack of hyenas camping on my boat with a few on the shore, so I snuck up on one of the hyenas on the shore to attack it but then I saw the option to pet it, which I did until it tamed which took me by surprise since I'm definitely still a Noob when it comes to Ark. I named him Henry and had him sit there as I lured away the other hyenas before running back to my boat. Unfortunately I couldn't get Henry to climb up on the boat with me so I opted to paddle slowly and just have him follow me back home since when I swam there myself it was safe, so it must still be safe right? WRONG! Everything was going fine and Henry was only a few feet away from the shore as I was parking my boat and suddenly at the top if the screen I saw in hellish red "Your Henry (Lvl 37) was killed by a wild Manta (Lvl 12)" and I mentally screamed. I eventually got a Sacro later on and took her to maul that jerk that killed Henry, but I'm still determined to kill every manta I see now after that.
