Chapter 54: Morality
Part 2/2
“W-What about the bike?” Samuel hiccuped. Dad took a glance at the bike, then back at Samuel. He turned away, walking to the front door of their home.
“Don’t worry about that, Samuel. We can always get it back later.”
Samuel stumbled forward, and Samuel limped his way in through the front door. Warren swung the door open, and Samuel could see his sister studying at her desk. She spun her swivel chair around and her eyes widened at the sight of Samuel.
“Samuel!” She got up from her desk, but Dad stopped her.
“Wren, there’s no need to worry,” Dad reassured her, “It’s all under control.”
Wren was wearing red pajamas and a baggy white shirt that didn’t fit her. Samuel could spot the bags under her eyes. Her long black hair was ruffled and messy, and her skin looked paler. There was a stack of homework assignments on Wren’s desk. It didn’t look like it had been finished yet.
“But-”
“Hush. Get back to your studying. You may worry about your brother later.”
Wren frowned, then sat down on her chair, letting out a huff before spinning her chair back in place and looking back down at her notes. Dad tapped the dining room table.
“Sit.”
Samuel plopped down on the seat, and then Dad grabbed a first-aid kit and set it on the table. He opened the case up, took some gauze out, and ripped a chunk off. Dad grabbed a bottle of ointment and applied it on Samuel’s heel. It stung and Samuel gritted his teeth.
“I know it stings.”
The moment was silent, and Dad began to wrap the gauze around his heel. Samuel sniffled, mucus in his nostrils.
“Why isn’t Mom home more often?” Samuel asked. He suddenly regretted saying those words. He didn’t want to upset Dad. Dad looked up.
“Mom’s still busy fighting crime, Samuel.”
“But why can’t she fight crime some other time?”
Saying it now made Samuel feel stupid. His ears began to burn red in embarrassment.
“It can’t be good all the time. So, something has to balance it out. People commit crimes, and that’s what’s bad I suppose.”
There was a moment of silence, until Samuel spoke up again.
“Why are there bad people? What did we do to deserve this? We didn’t do anything wrong to them,” Samuel blurted. Dad looked to the side, then shrugged.
“Bad people exist because… of the decisions they make. And they make bad decisions because they let their feelings get in the way. Their instincts,” Dad explained gently, “Don’t rely on your feelings, okay? Use your head, not your heart. And don’t care about what happens to others. Only mind yourself, and the people close to you.”
Dad finished wrapping the gauze, and he began to clean up the first-aid kit.
“Dad, I thought you wanted to be a cop,” Samuel confirmed, his tears run out, “And cops want others to be safe. That’s why they have to… make sacrifices.”
Dad sighed, brushed his hair to the side, and slowly shook his head.
“Not anymore, son.”
“Not anymore?”
“But, why?”
The memory faded from Samuel’s eyes, and he heard soft footsteps approaching him again. For a second Samuel would have sworn his father was there once again to talk to him… But no. Samuel turned around to see Aurora sitting atop Blueblaze. Aurora hopped off.
“Samuel, are you okay?” Aurora asked.
“Uh, yeah, for sure,” Samuel replied.
“Okay, I just… wanted to know.”
Aurora walked off, and Neddy rolled his eyes.
“What an emo girl! Anyways, what’s the plan now… Friend?” Neddy asked Samuel. Neddy looked over to the right to see Ruby feeding slabs of meat to Goofy and Fish Eater.
“The plan?” Samuel replied, looking off at the waterfall in the distance, “Go check that out over there.”
“Okay, and when?”
A roar suddenly echoed through the air. All heads instantly perked.
“What was that?” Ruby asked. Goofy began to shuffle uncomfortably. And Goofy never did that.
More roars began to burst through the air, and it sounded like there were multiple of them.
“That. Sounds. Dangerous. I think we need to go guys,” Aurora commented. Even Star had to agree with her, nodding in agreement. Ruby got on Goofy, and Aurora mounted Goofy as well.
“How about you two catch up on Blueblaze?” Ruby suggested to Neddy. The two dashed away.
“Bruh. RUBY. Come on bruh! I thought we were gonna ride it out together!”
“WELL WHY DON’T YOU RIDE IT OUT WITH SAMUEL FOR NOW?”
Neddy sighed, holding his hand out to Samuel.
“Come on. I think you need some help up, so…”
Samuel stared at Neddy’s hand, but ignored his request and got up onto his two feet.
“I don’t need help with that. Now let’s make a move on.”
The three quickly hopped on Blueblaze and ran off to the waterfall.

“Whew, that was a close call,” Neddy said, wiping sweat off his face.
The five were resting on the small mountain they had spotted earlier upon entering the Redwoods. It was easy to see if anything was coming their way, and plus high ground was always an advantage in any battle.
Samuel eyed his injury with grimace. The sting mark was swollen and was starting to form a really nasty, pus-filled bump. Samuel really wanted to pop it, but he knew that would just make it infected.
“I should just patch it up,” Samuel thought. Samuel grabbed the sleeve of his graduation robe, then with one pull he tore it right off. He doused the article in clean water and wrapped it around his wound. The cool, wet water felt cool on his skin. He sighed in relief, as he tied a knot with it.
“Just like how Dad did,” Samuel murmured.
As Samuel looked off in the distance, he could spot a waterfall tucked away behind some sequoia trees. That looked like a good spot for a shelter. Perhaps there was someone there? Samuel decided that they should go there next.
“But not yet,” Samuel thought, rubbing his hands together, “I’m… tired? Yeah. I am.”
Samuel ruffled the back of his hair, and he could feel his father’s voice in his ear. His words still haunted his head every time he thought of his father.
And then that vivid day came back to him in an instant…
~
“Ow, ow, ow!” Samuel cried in pain. There was a giant gash on his heel, and it was oozing blood. Tears streaked down from his eyes, leaving his face hot and wet.
Tears…
Samuel was sitting on the hot concrete floor. The sun was out again. And Samuel’s bicycle lay crashed against a post, the wheel popped and the bar bent. Samuel could see a red haze in the bushes.
“Mom? MOM!” Samuel shouted in agony.
Footsteps slowly approached him, and Samuel blinked his eyes, seeing a blurry figure slowly approaching him. He wore a black t-shirt and had well-defined arms. He wore black sweatpants too, even in this weather.
“Samuel? Oh my, what a fall!”
“Dad, I fell, Dad!”
“I can tell.”
Dad got on one knee, and Samuel’s vision began to return. Dad’s eyes were vibrant, yet so monotone at the same time. He had a spark, yet there was no passion. Dad eyed Samuel’s injury with no worry.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts, Dad. Help me, please. It hurts.”
Dad looked into Samuel’s tear-filled eyes, then got up.
“Let’s go back inside. I’ll fix you right up.”
Samuel looked at Dad’s hand. Samuel held his hand out. Dad raised an eyebrow in confusion.
“Come on, Samuel. Get up. You can do it.”
Samuel put his injured foot out and attempted to propel himself up, but as he did, his foot went numb and he fell to the ground again. Samuel groaned, tears falling from his face.
“Dad, please.”
“Just one step at a time pal.”
Samuel looked at his bleeding heel again and groaned. He took his other foot, and with one giant push, he hurled himself up from the ground. His arms dangled by his side, and he lifted his arm up to wipe the tears away.

Chapter twenty: Elizabeth and Eric’s romance
Elizabeth and Eric lay on the raft, the ocean gently rocking it. Eric watched Elizabeth with a tender expression on his face. The moonlight cast its glow on her hair, making it shine. Eric still felt the same way about Elizabeth as he had when they were kids. He still loved her. Eric reached out and held her hand. “Elizabeth?” Eric asked. Elizabeth turned her head and smiled sweetly at him. “Yes?” She whispered. “Elizabeth…I love you. I’ve loved you since the day we met and every day we’ve spent together after that. I love you Elizabeth. I don’t have much to offer you but…when all this over will you marry me?” Eric asked. Elizabeth’s face and eyes lit up with joy. She locked eyes with Eric. “Yes. Yes Eric. I don’t think I can live a single day without you.” Elizabeth said. They scooted closer together. Their lips were suddenly touching. Eric could hear his heart beating loudly like a drum. A shock of joy filled him. He and Elizabeth. Together. No matter what happened they would be together forever.

this is a story of a brave and courageous megalo: melon
i tamed melon at level 135 he was perfect, i tamed him in safe waters, he helped me alot with killing other sharks and even a leedsichthys!
when he was level 187 i took him out for a run, it went great! i collected alot of prime fish and tamed another megalo level 100, it was fine... i guess but still melon was my favourite!
anyways, he was good for pvp underwater, i ran into a guy on the plesiosaur, and killed him easily.. his plesiosaur was only level 90 or something, but melon took it out! especially with the bleed, took a lot of damage, but melon was fine, so i took him out to gather pearls.
i got 2000 pearls before stopping, and i even got a deep sea drop with a apprentice megalodon saddle, the saddle was good, then i went to look for a tuso, cuz i had black pearls.. BUT THEN i was tagged by a pack of megalos when i was off melon, i couldn’t do anything.. but then MELON.. he came in and attacked the megalos a viscous battle, i saw him destroying them!.. and he won, then i failed ti find any tuso and gave up, as i went home.. you wont believe it.. A GODAMN JELLY MOTHAF**KING FISH, he was trapped by like 10.. i tried and tried to save him with harpoons.. then i
i ran outta stamina and one came for me.. it killed me.. i tried to get there, but before i could.. he’s already dead.. i killed of the jellyfish.. and took his saddle, put a grave down.. and a storage box with his saddle..
it was my fault.. i wasn’t paying attention.. im sorry melon, i really am..
Rip melon the shark :(
-sincerely, (sad)HJK
A quick anecdote about these is that one killed my parasaur Baragon so I boarded my ichthyosaur Stubborn which I named because of how he acted when I fed him to do the tame ichthy pursuit. Then I committed mass genocide and war crimes upon the entire megalodon genus and abused ichthyosaur’s ability to make everything passive to end up with lots of their drops
The Obelisk
-Chapter 77-
Fire.
Hungry, bloodthirsty fire, blazing from all directions, bright and hot as it burned everything in sight.
Crimson turned around in a full circle, searching for a spot to escape. She looked down and realized she was on a small island. A small ring of water separated her from the burning mess beyond.
She stared at the still water, flames and screaming carnivores reflected on its surface.
Then she heard a voice, two voices, the voices she’d never expected to hear since that day.
“Crimson!” Her parents cries echoed from beyond the fire. Crimsons eyes widened. “Mom? Dad?” She heaved herself up onto her back legs as they yelled her name.
Once more she glanced down at the water.
Her parents called again.
Crimson roared and leaped over the water, straight into the fire. She ran and ran and jumped high onto a fallen rock spire, right before spotting her parents fighting back flames.
Quick as lightning Crimson leaped down and landed with a thud in front of them.
“Crimson?” Her dad exclaimed.
“We have to get out of here!” Crimson yelled. “Come on!”
The Kapros turned and ran as far as they could, through the falling trees and smoke as the world fell in flames around them.
Still running, Crimson looked to her mother and father. “Im sorry,” she yelled. “Im sorry I couldn’t save you!”
“It’s not your fault, Crimson,” Her mother said, turning her head to look at her as they ran. “You were so young.”
“I just wish I could have done something,” Crimson cried.
“It’s ok,” Father said. “We know you would have.”
“Everything’s going to be alright.”
I tamed a level 20-something megalodon (took forever) and on the way home I watched in horror on my raft as the first alpha megalodon I have ever seen came out of nowhere and absolutely slaughtered her, then disappeared as fast as it came. 1 like = 1 prayer for un-named female megalodon.
