Me and my megatherium (named Bugsy) were out in the arktic attempting to find a high level mate for him until a red drop spawned in, I thought to myself I’ll grab it as it began to turn to night because this game is so dark at night I couldn’t see the cliff it had just passed so then we fell onto an iced platform and had to swim all the way to shore from the furthest penguin spawn we got hit by sharks, froze during the blizzard and feared jelly fish but escaped with our lives.

Riddles of the Phoenixes series

Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes.

Chapter twenty four: Dinner shenanigans.

They all sat around the long table uncomfortably in silence. Cyrus had his jaw set and Cyra was glaring at him. Jack was wondering whether or not the meat was still raw. The steak that was on Cyrus plate looked rather suspiciously pink. Jack was horrified whenever he saw Cyrus eat the possible raw meat and then push back his plate, ignoring the vegetables. Nora and William broke the silence. “So… tomorrow sometime two….guests will be coming to talk about….some stuff. Dinner will probably be a little late so y’all will need to wait and stay out of trouble!” Nora instructed. “Great. More outsiders.” Cyrus complained. Cyra glared at him. “Not ALL outsiders are bad Cyrus!” Cyra replied angrily. William sighed and he and Nora exclaimed glances. “Yeah but some of them are! Like your friend here!” Cyrus said.

“Jack is not!”

“Oh come on! It’s so obvious he’s using you!”

“Is not!”

“Is too!”

“Is not!”

“Is too!”

“Is not!”

“Is t-”

“ENOUGH!!!” William bellowed. He slammed his fists into the table. “Will y’all stop fighting for…forever?!?!” William asked exasperated. Cyra and Cyrus went silent. “Thank you. Finally some peace and quiet.” Nora muttered. Just then the castle gates burst open and two guards hurried in, holding a limp body. Jack almost threw up when he saw it. The soldier that was wounded was bloody all over, claw marks ran down his face and arms and large chunks of him were missing as if he had been bitten. Cyrus’ face turned very white and he and Cyra exchanged worried looks. “Your majesties! One of our soldiers, Lawrence was attacked by a wolf or something!!! He needs help!” One soldier begged. Nora shot a look at William and then sprang from her chair and rushed to the wounded soldiers side. William followed her, muttering something about “getting rid of the wolf problems”. They set him down on the ground. Nora took a deep breath and her medallion began to glow a deep purple. She held her hands over the wounded soldier and pressed them gently on his chest. Immediately the wounds began to heal. The blood dried up, the skin filled in. The formerly wounded soldier sat up dazed. “What happened?” He asked. William put his hand on the soldier’s shoulder. “You’re okay, kid. You must have been attacked by a wolf. Right?” William asked. The soldier, Lawrence was his name, nodded slowly. “Take him to his home. He probably needs to rest.” Nora instructed. The guards helped Lawrence out. Nora and William walked from the room. Cyrus pushed back his plate and stormed from the room, casting a dark glance at Jack. Jack made a silent note not to be caught in the hall alone with Cyrus.

Luckily whenever Jack left the table Cyrus was nowhere to be seen. He went down the hall and walked for his room. Unfortunately he must have taken a wrong turn because he ended up outside a unfamiliar door. William and Nora’s voices echoed from the room. This must be there room. “Why weren’t you watching it?!?!” Nora shouted. “You were supposed to be on guard?!?”

“I’m sorry okay I was kinda busy.” William said. “Well your heedlessness could have killed a guard!!” Nora shouted. William sighed and said nothing. Nora sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m just so worried that some of our guards will get hurt. We can’t lose any.” Nora said. “It’s okay honey. We just have to find a way through this. There has to be some way we can get rid of it.”

“We’ve already tried. Nothing works. It’ll just keep coming.” Jack walked away, puzzled. He roamed and halls until he came back to his room. They had been really worried, hadn’t they? Someone really needed to get rid of that wolf problem then.

The Obelisk

-Chapter 79-

Scared of heights.

Spark should of seen this coming as strong winds hit her face and her eyes opened. As she glanced down to see herself balancing ten thousand feet in the air on an endless log.

She gasped, instantly struggling to keep herself steady as the wind whipped past her and she wobbled dangerously.

She couldn’t help but look down at the endless abyss of sky, all above and below and around her. She held her breath, slamming her eyes shut. ‘This isn’t real.’ She bared her teeth, forcing her eyes open. She looked to the infinity log that kept going on and on.

‘Not real.’ She took a step forward.

Only to slip on the wood and stumble, screaming as she fell sideways, her scales scraping as she slammed down on her stomach, sliding down the log.

She struggled to grab a hold of the log with her dangling back legs, but it only let her slip more as she roared in frustration.

She was going to fall. A few more moments and she’d slip right off, and she’d go down and down and down forever and ever until she hit the ground and died.

She was still struggling when she noticed two silhouettes in the distance, coming her way. Her heart sped up. “Mom! Dad!”

Hope surged through her. They’d come back for her. They really did care!

They came closer and closer until she could see their horns and scales and faces, calm but surprised as they looked down at her. “Well would you look at that,” Mother said to Father.

“Help!” Spark yelled.

“I told you this would happen eventually.” Father said blankly. “Should have been more careful.”

“I—I’m going to fall,” Spark gasped.

“Perhaps we should help her out,” Mother said.

They thought for a moment, Spark writhing underneath them.

“But…” Father began…

“Yes, you are right,” Mother said, nodding. “It would make things much easier for us.”

“What are you talking about??” Spark snarled.

“We’re sorry, darling.” Mother said. “Goodbye.”

And Father kicked her off the log.

***

She could have sworn she died. She’d expected to wake up and be back in the Shadowmane elders cave, but she wasn’t.

The worst part was that the first thing she saw was a spike through her chest.

Blood was everywhere, splattered acrossed her scales and dripping off of her and onto the rocky ground. She was at the bottom of a large ravine, filled with sharp rock columns and wooden spears, all facing the sky. Her green eyes scanned the place, then went back to the thing driven through her. She felt no pain. She was alive, but stuck. She tried moving but it did nothing.

Then suddenly a loud yelling noise echoed around her, and she heard the sound of footsteps coming her way. Humans, all slowly coming towards her, each wielding weapons of all kinds.

Her eyes widened and she struggled to move, the humans quickly getting closer. They began pointing and talking in their strange language, giving direction to each other.

One of the head humans came up to her, holding its spear forward.

Spark was not letting them get her today. With a strong wrench, She lifted herself up and through the spike.

The humans all fell back, dropping their weapons and snarling at each other. Spark fell forward and onto the rocky ground, snarling loudly. Without wasting another second, she ran away.

By the time she’d come to a large cliff much like her old home, she was entirely out of breath. She looked down to see the scarlet blood dripping from the hole in her chest, before quietly sitting down.

Then she looked up with a sigh, which was instantly cut off as she spotted her parents in the distance.

Growling, Spark lifted herself up and went after them.

They were chatting rather happily to each other, walking alongside a large river.

Spark caught up after a moment and stepped right in front of them.

“Holy—” Mother stopped walking abruptly, whacking father with her tail. “What—Spark—"

“Sorry to interrupt,” Spark hissed. She got a bit closer, and they stepped back. The river roared behind them.

“How are you…” Father stared at her, stepping back once more.

“I’ve got two things to say,” Spark said. “First, kicking’s wrong, and second: you suck.”

Saw two megatherium one black, one white. I thought to myself "ha yin and Yang" decided to tame them and lucky me both were male and female. Black was female named Yin, White was Male named Yin. They keep the balance in my base and in my server they are Gods. We as a server have decided to breed them wonder what its name will be. :)

They killed my terror bird in the presence of a jug bug. They killed my enforcer in the presence of an araneo. I took my ravage- I mean swole Hyaenodons and went on a megatherium genocide in the extinction sanctuary for 3 hours before forgiving them.

When I was still somewhat new to ark I would explore the island with literally all my dinos in tow they were all low level rexs/trikes/sabers so not a very threatening pack but it made me feel safe so I went off to explore the redwoods and I had my first run in with one of the beasts it was bug boosted at the time and i didn’t know that was a thing so I whistled my entire pack on it to my surprise it killed literally everything I had with me it discouraged me for about a week or so. I ended up just starting over completely I’m happy I did . I did learn a lesson though and that is don’t mess with bug boosted megatheriums.
