The Obelisk

-Chapter 95-

“Moonbeam?”

“Moonbeam, where are you?”

“Hey, I found her!”

Forest scrabbled down the last few chunks of stone. His grey-blue eyes were wide as he hurried after Rust, who had gone down shortly before him.

“She’s over here!” Rust yelled from close by. Forest climbed over a long, flat rock and stopped as Rust froze in front of him.

“Oh no,” the Deinonychus whispered.

Forest spotted Moonbeam lying on her side in a dark pool of blood. Forest stared in horror as the others ran passed him.

“Moonbeam!” Orbit roared, rushing over to her and skidding to a stop.

“No, no, no no no,” Nyx cried.

Moonbeam rolled her eyes over to look up at them. “This is an interesting way to die,” she said in a weak voice.

Orbit’s blue eyes were flaming. “You’re not dying,” he said firmly. “You can’t die.”

“Pretty sure I can, actually,” Moonbeam said. “Just like anyone else, I’m afraid. It’s OK, though. You’ll do fine without me.”

Nyx was crying, tears falling down the sides of her face and muzzle. Crimson and Spark both gazed from behind Rust, unspeaking.

Blood was spreading around Orbits talons, but he didn’t seem to care. “No!” he yelled. “I can’t let you. We can fix this. We can save you! I can’t let you die. I—” he stopped himself, making an expression Forest didn’t recognize. “I…”

“I’m listening,” Moonbeam said.

“I love you,” Orbit whispered.

Moonbeam met his eyes without moving her head. “Oh, Orbit,” she sighed, closing her eyes.

“Its true,” he insisted. “I really do. I’ve loved you since the day we met when you walked into our camp. I never had the guts to tell you, but I do. You’re amazing and beautiful and fearless. I can’t let you die. I love you, Moonbeam.”

Moonbeam smiled dimly. “You shouldn’t,” she murmured. “There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”

“I don’t care,” Orbit growled. “I love you.” He thrust his head forward and nuzzled it into her neck. “I love you, Moonbeam… I love you…” He blinked and lifted his head. “Moonbeam?”

Forest stared down as Moonbeams body went still, as Orbit cried her name desperately. He wanted to say or do something, but he couldn’t, he couldn’t do anything. All he could do was watch; watch as Moonbeams eyes stared sightlessly into nothing, as Nyx let out a shaking sob. As Rust stepped back and covered his snout with his talons.

No one could do anything. Moonbeam was dead.

“Mmm, WOW. This is super good!” Neddy gasped as he took a big bite of his meal. Ruby was chewing viciously on a piece of orange-eyed beast meat.

“I’ve totally got to agree with you. It tastes better than the food back home,” Ruby said. Suddenly, her eyes sparkled like diamonds, as if she had an amazing idea.

“Wait a minute… What if we combine berries with the meat?!”

Neddy laughed.

“Oh yeah, totally! Like a meat-berry sandwich?”

“Yess! How good do you think that’s taste?”

“I dunno, but maybe we can make it some other time together,” Ruby responded with a smile, “It’s a little funny. I’ve always wanted to be a chef. So in a way, we’re cooking delights even when we’re away from home on this-”

“Dinosaur-infested island. But being a chef sounds like a lot of fun. You can make bank while making good food, like, wouldn’t that be the life?” Neddy said with a smile. The two of them laughed, until eventually Neddy’s smile faded away.

“Well, I’m just wondering one thing,” Neddy said, “Who, who exactly was Aurora’s boyfriend?”

The tone of the conversation changed, as Ruby looked off in the distance.

“Borealis was… A good guy, apparently. Aurora thought he was charismatic, but at the same time very smart and wise. He’s one of the reasons why Aurora decided to step it up and focus more on academics and… the future like college,” Ruby recalled.

“Did you like Borealis? Did you think he was a good guy?” Neddy asked with a raised brow. Ruby shook her head.

“No. I never did. Cool that he cared about her future, but to me it seemed like he didn’t care about anything else except that. He was always so obsessed with it. And all he ever did was care. He didn’t share any hobbies with her, did anything fun with her really. Just that. Planning for the future like some crazy hermit.”

Ruby took one last chunk off her skewer and swallowed it. Finished, she tossed the stick into the flames of the campfire.

“I never really liked anyone. I guess my way of love is different from others,” Ruby said. Neddy nodded solemnly and empathetically.

“I feel the same way too. Some days I just wonder if I’ll ever find-”

“If we’ll ever find the right person to love.”

As the two sat back and relaxed, full and no longer famished, someone giggled beyond the forest line.

“Hee hee, look at those two! I think they’re having a date or something,” Ben said, with a hand on his forehead. Samuel peeked beyond Ben’s shoulder.

“Oh really?”

“Wait a minute,” Aurora said, squinting her eyes, “Those are the two we’re looking for! Neddy and Ruby!”

“Wait, for real?” Ben asked, “I didn’t know your group was on a double date!”

Samuel slapped the back of Ben’s head, and he let out a “Youch!”. Star scowled, ruffling her feathers. Samuel’s Raptor made a chattering noise.

“Say that again, I dare you,” Samuel said.

“Sorry dude…” Ben whispered, “Okay, so what are we going to do? Are we just going to watch them?”

“No, idiot! We’re going, come on!” Aurora said as she walked up to the two.

me and my friend had a male pelagornis (we called janet on accident but never changed) it was a beast i mean it could kill tens of wyvern and alpha wyverns alike and it wouldn’t go down it didn’t even have multiples stats it was just incredibly overpowered to this day it is still a powerhouse and killed its first gigs a few hours ago

Chapter 14: Apology Accepted

Part 1/2

Ruby and Neddy were huddled up near the crackling fires of the campfire they had put together. Using a few moist sticks that they knew wouldn’t catch on fire so easily, they propped up the Pegomastax and orange-eyed beast meat and put it above the fires. And for the time being, they just waited by the fire. They waited not just for their meat to finish, but for their allies to come find them.

“This is pretty relaxing,” Ruby softly said. She looked up at the night sky, where the stars were beginning to fade away and the Sun was beginning to rise, creating vibrant streaks of red and orange across the night sky. The Moon also hung above, and it seemed bigger than usual.

“It is,” Neddy said as he rubbed his eyes, “I forgot I was on an island filled with bloodthirsty dinosaurs.”

Ever since Neddy had lost his glasses to the pests that were Dilophosaurs, he hadn’t been able to see very clearly. He didn’t really know what Aurora or Ruby looked like, and some of the fauna on the island he couldn’t differentiate, like those orange-eyed beasts that separated the group.

The rest of the time was a little bit silent. But eventually Neddy turned to face Ruby.

“Ruby, I need a favor from you. It’s really important,” Neddy said.

“Well what is it?” Ruby asked.

“My sight,” Neddy replied, “I can’t see anything because I lost my glasses a while back. I was wondering, if you could make glasses with your power?”

There was a pause in the air, and Ruby nodded with a gentle smile.

“Yes, yes I can. I’ll help you get your sight back.”

“But what type of resources do you need to make them?” Neddy questioned, and a little puzzled, “I mean surely it can’t be that easy.”

“You’re right. It isn’t. I can think the thoughts right now, we need crystals and obsidian.”

“Where are we even going to find that?”

“I don’t know. But I’m sure we’ll find it along the way. And I’m sure Aurora will help you too,” Ruby reassured him. Neddy looked around the forest again, but still there seemed to be no trace of Aurora or Samuel.

“Ruby, do you really think Aurora cares about us?” Neddy asked with clenched fists.

“Of course she cares about us, we’re her companions, why wouldn’t she?” Ruby asked, “And more importantly, she’s my friend. Why would friends just abandon each other like that?”

“Ruby, Aurora just decided to ditch us, now we’re waiting on this weird beacon of light and hoping that the two of them are going to find us? She ran away from the situation and didn’t even bother to help us! She’s a terrible person, Ruby, why can’t you just realize it already-”

“She DID care, okay?! She called out to me to come with her, to just leave you there to die to the orange-eyes!” Ruby cried out, “But I decided to stay back to defend you! It was MY CHOICE! Not hers, don’t blame her! I’ve known her since before her boyfriend died! I’ve known her the longest here on this cursed island, so don’t pretend like YOU know what she was doing!”

Ruby tossed her meat aside and stormed off. Neddy put his arm out in despair.

“Wait! Ruby, please! I didn’t mean to say that! I didn’t-”

“Don’t talk to me!” Ruby shouted back. Ruby stopped in her tracks, crossed her arms, and sighed heavily, putting her head down.

“Ruby. I just don’t want anyone to hurt you. I didn’t know you were close to Aurora,” Neddy apologized, “I’m sorry. I really am. Just, please, let’s not argue. I don’t like to argue it makes me feel bad. Besides.”

He turned around to see the flames dying down.

“Our food’s going to burn if we just leave it like that.”

Ruby looked back and closed her eyes softly.

“Fine. Apology accepted,” Ruby said. She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Neddy, who was taken aback. But he decided to hug her back.

“I’m sorry too, for yelling at you like that. I shouldn’t have. You didn’t know any better,” Ruby whispered.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Neddy replied, “We’re both stuck on an island-”

“Filled with dangerous dinosaurs, yeah, yeah I know,” Ruby said with a laugh. She let go of Neddy and smiled.

“Now let’s dig in!” Ruby said, running over to the campfire to pick up one of the dinosaur meat skewers.

I was just flying with my prteranadon and my pelagornis when we hit a bro to i tried to make my pelagornis stop attacking it but it wouldn’t. So me and my pteranodon started attacking but it was too late my pelagornis was dead. Since I was near my base I ended getting all my animals to attack the Bronto in the end we killed 1up=rip for my pelagornis.

Once when I was younger and ark first revealed to the public and a plegornis was intro fixed I knew I had to get it. I got ark made a single player world and leveled until I got it a saddle for the pelagornis we travelled across hills mountains until we got to the redwoods. That day was a gruesome day 2 Rex’s were on us so I had to get off and lead the Rex’s away. I died but they left my pelagornis he sat there days after days I tried going back but no I couldn’t I quit the game at level 45 and my only tame a pelagornis. Two years later I decided to get into ark again I never uninstalled it then I remembered my pelagornis. I ran to redwoods went to the last area I found it and low and behold my pelagornis still alive with low hp fighting a Rex. I knew it was the same rex so I charged to try and help we killed the Rex and now he is the leader of an army of pelagornis. I hope you enjoyed the story of my first pelagornis if you got this far his name was FlapperJack idk why tbh.

When I tame one and gets a saddle do you guys want me to try making a story? I don’t know if it will be good or terrible. Up if you want me to make a story.

A wise man once said that one day humor would be randomly generated

He was right

I recently tamed a direwolf and I was ridding it around my base until I saw a pelagornis I hopped off my direwolf and got out a bola I bola’d it and was getting ready to tranq it then my direwolf fricken killed it because I forgot to whistle him to passive now I can’t find another one -.-

Spent the past week leveling a Pelagornis. So I decided to head west around the north/west corner of Rag to explore the cost. I get MILES away from my nearest camp and disaster strikes! I get glitched in a Bronto that gets pissed and starts attacking my Pela! It kills him, and now I’m stranded near a T-Rex and Carno infested area trying to survive and tame something good enough to make it back to my stronghold!!! This might make a lot of people rage quit.....not me!!! I find it..... exhilarating!!!!!!!!!
