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.

“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.

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.

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.

Riddles of the Phoenixes series

The War of the Phoenixes.

Chapter sixteen: The Rain Forest phoenixes’ city.

Nora and Sylvia stopped in the city of the rain forest phoenixes for the night. The Rain Forest phoenixes kingdom was always VERY close to the Shadow phoenixes kingdom. “We have to wait till tomorrow to go to the castle. We’ll find a place here to stay for the night.” Nora told Sylvia. Sylvia nodded. The Rain Forest phoenixes’ city had old, strong buildings, vines slightly wrapped around them and the city was surrounded completely by a giant rain forest. They came to a place in the city where a woman and her daughter were boarding people in their house. “Hi. We’d like to stay for the night.” Nora told the woman. The woman nodded. She had short dark brown hair, dark colored skin, and sorrowful blue eyes. Nora set down a bag of coins in front of the woman.

The woman, her name was Leanne, tucked the bag into a cabinet and led them down a hallway where the rooms were. “Here you go.” Leanne said softly, opening the door. It was a modest room with two beds and a small table. A little girl, about nine, with long black hair in a braid, and blue eyes, and was carrying a bouquet of pink and red flowers ran in from another room, and hid behind her mother, hugging her around the waist. “And who are you?” Sylvia asked gently to the little girl. Leanne pushed the girl gently forward. “This is my daughter, Fiona.” Leanne said.

Just then the tea pot let out a high pitched squeal from the kitchen and Leanne hurried off to check on it. Nora watched as Sylvia bent down in front of the little girl. “Hi Fiona. I’m Sylvia. And this is Nora. I love your flowers, they’re really pretty. ” Sylvia said. Fiona smiled shyly and plucked a flower from her bouquet and tucked one in Sylvia’s hair. Sylvia smiled at Fiona. “I get them from the meadow.” Fiona said.

“Nice. Do you like it here?” Sylvia asked. Fiona shrugged. “It’s good for me and my mum but….” Fiona lowered her voice to a whisper. “…there’s the shadow man.” Fiona said. Sylvia blinked. “What do you mean, Shadow man?” She asked. “He comes at night, in a black cloak, and lurks around the city. They call him the Shadowy figure or the shadow man, cause no one has ever actually “seen” him. ” Fiona said. “What does he do?” Nora asked, suddenly curious. Fiona shrugged. “I don’t know….but I can hear his whispers.”

“What whispers?” Sylvia asked. “He talks to himself about…about someone who can give him something. And about the guilty. The Shadowy figure haunts our city.” Leanne suddenly marched over. “Fiona! Stop talking about nonsense!” She scolded her daughter. Leanne turned to Nora and Sylvia. “Forgive my daughter. Whatever she said is not true. You should be honored to be in this city.” Leanne said, but there was something about the way her eyes darted away for a brief second, that made Nora and Sylvia suspicious.

Are you, are you, ready for the next chapter? Cause it’s coming soon!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

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.

My husband and I found a bright red one lvl 150. Got the fish to tame it, knocked it out and filled it's inventory with fish and narcos. It had only half way left on the concussion bar with in 60% tame when a lvl 70 Dilo came out of the blue and tried to get a free meal. It had less than a quarter of a bar of concussion, a sliver of health and 75% tame afterwards.But, we got her! One punch at a time to keep her under and lots of fingers crossed 🙌🏻😂

Me and my dad tamed one of these while on our trip around the island. Very sadly it got killed by a pack of megalodons as soon as we took float on our raft. One like equals one more pray for our sky blue palagornis.

I just need to know where to find these on Mobile. The map is Island.

Funny how this was the largest flying bird ever, and then compared to the argy it looks like a mouse.

One of my fans said that if you can name one you can get one

These guys are great for organic polymer farms. I am currently taming a 130 and I will use to for that exact reason 🙂

I had a pelagornis called parrot on lost Island and it had the nicest colours and we traveled the map together collecting polymer and fish meat until I had to sacrifice my life to save him when we were in the snow and I led some dire wolves away from him so now he sits there waiting for me to come back

I wish that flyers were allowed on Genesis. I would really like to use the X tapejara and the X argy but I also think the pelagornis would be op in the ocean biome. I understand why we use flyers on Genesis (because the biomes are small so we could get across the map too quickly) but it would be cool to be able to use them.

I was lvl 1 and I found one sitting on a rock but I had this game before so I didn’t t try to knock it out cause I didn’t have any bola or fish just my stupid fists then I found one sitting in water right by my camp I love these and I wanted to tame them so bad now I can tame one and I search for one every ark day but I can’t find one!!!

I thought it had rider weaponry but it didn’t and now I have a Pelagornis named Riptide hopefully he is worth it

These little dudes are super great 👍 I love them! They land on water and can fit in a door so you can have them inside easily! It’s better to put them inside so they can be safe because their damage isn’t to great. One of mine was outside and got killed my 2 raptors 🙁

I got a pelegornis called pelé and decided to go get some organic polymer with him. So my dad and I went to the snow biome and we harvested some penguins but when I landed I got glitched of our raft and got eaten by Megs. My dad fell in the water to but made it to land with the polymer but nearly died to a spino, sarco and a terror bird (in the redwoods). He got killed by another terror bird though. But the main thing is that pelé survived!!! I’m planing to go to the snow biome soon, to rescue pelé.
