The Obelisk
-Chapter 97-
Forest could hear the deep thump of his heart in his head as he ran heavily. He slowed down to a trot and stopped, talons shaking. He closed his eyes to shake the dust away as he panted quietly.
“No! Orbit!” He could hear Nyx shout out, stopping to whirl around. Forest glanced back and saw that the entrance and several parts of the cave had collapsed, leaving nothing but darkness ahead.
“Orbit,” Nyx cried sadly, her voice wavering. She set her talons on the fallen wall of stones, her blue eyes wide and full of sorrow. “How can this be happening?” She wailed.
Crimson came panting at Forests side, her long snout contorted in a small scowl. “We gotta keep going, this cave could—”
She stopped, dipping her head to look down at Forest’s bag. The others turned and stared. Forest felt his spine prickle. In his bag, the rune had started to pulse lightly, lighting up a small part of the cave.
It grew brighter and then slowed, it’s glow casting a line of light that stretched further down the cave. Forest watched the light blankly, the glow reflecting in his eyes. He stepped forward to follow it.
“Forest, what are you doing?” Crimson called, lashing her tail.
The rune began to beat rhythmically as he followed its trail. It blazed bright green and then it stopped, and the tunnel grew dark again. Then Forest paused. There was a light coming from the end of the cave.
“Forest!” Spark called. The others came after him as he padded into the cave and out of sight.
They caught up with him moments later, stopping to stand behind Forest.
Rust looked up. “What…”
Forest stared up at the three portals, his head lifted and his feathers fluffed up.
The Five gazed in silence and awe. A gust of wind blasted from the middle portal, buffeting against Forests face. Then he stepped forward and set one talon on the middle of the portal.
“Forest!” Nyx shouted.
Immediately it pulled him in. His tail disappeared into the golden liquid and roaring with fear and determination, his friends jumped in after him.
***
Yellow and gold swirled around him. He yelled out in fear as he was pulled forward and shot out of the portal onto the ground.
Forest groaned quietly. Thumps and shouts came from behind him, and the Five lifted their heads in turn.
The moon was high in the dark, cloudless sky. They were all standing on a large flat cliff, somewhere Forest didn’t recognize. Somewhere very strange.
He struggled to his feet. The others came over to his side, wincing and wide-eyed.
The rune came back to life. Forests blood suddenly ran cold, and his body moved, stepping back slowly. “Guys,” he hissed.
A low, chuckling growl came from ahead. Giant claws came into view as something climbed up from the edge of the cliff to stand, tall and towering over them.
“Silly little juveniles,” The Wyvern growled.

Chapter 13b: Another Magnificent Character
Part 2/2
“Oh, crap!” Samuel said, scurrying away. Aurora aimed her spear at the raptor’s skull, and Samuel looked back at Ben who stood as still as a rock, watching everything unfold.
The raptor’s eyes darted around for a moment, then got up onto its feet again. It eyed Samuel for a second, and then just blinked, and kept standing there like some machine.
“What the-”
“Look at that. It’s tamed now,” Ben said with a smirk. He smiled, “Heh heh. Try saying ‘Follow me’!”
Samuel said, “Follow me.”
Samuel began to walk away, and the raptor slowly walked behind him, its arms down and its eyes dull. Samuel turned around, his eyes widened, and impressed.
“So you are correct,” Aurora said in awe.
“I am. Believe me now?” Ben asked with a grin, “I’m not trying to be smug. I genuinely want to be friends with you both.”
Samuel smiled, a realization crossing his mind.
“If this island really IS based on a story, then that means the Book Club has information about it. Maybe there really is a way to escape this island,” Samuel thought.
“Okay then. We’ll join your book club,” Samuel declared.
“What?!” Aurora said, “But what if they’re dangerous?”
Samuel looked back at Aurora with a cheeky grin.
“Let’s be real. What are a bunch of bookworms going to do?”
Aurora sighed.
“I guess you’re right. But we still have people to find. We had two allies that we got separated from an hour or two ago. We need to find them,” Aurora explained to Ben.
“Perfect! I’ll help you,” Ben decided, “But before we even start, we need to go to that beam of light.”
“Oh really? We were planning on doing that before we got ambushed by the raptors,” Samuel said.
“Good idea. Those beams of lights lead to beacons which give loot,” Ben told Samuel. He pointed to the tools on his belt. “That’s how we even got these to begin with. Well, sometimes the beacons give knowledge too, but those are rare.”
“Knowledge too?” Samuel thought. He looked down at his sleeve, which was covering his left wrist, “Would I even have the ability to get knowledge without the implant?”
Aurora nudged Samuel, who looked back up.
“Come on. Let’s go, or that guy’s going to leave without us,” Aurora said. Samuel nodded.
“Okay. Coming.”
Aurora walked off with Samuel, and while the raptor followed behind, Star let out a scoff. Star grumpily trotted behind, ruffling her feathers and giving Aurora the stink eye- Woosh.
Samuel looked behind and saw some red plume of dust hovering in the distance, and as he squinted his eyes at it… he could’ve sworn he saw a raptor head. He blinked his eyes, and it disappeared.
“Must, must’ve been my imagination,” Samuel thought as he walked along. But even as he did, something kept gnawing at him, telling him to watch out. To be careful.
And that feeling was fear.

The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)
Chapter 13b: Another Magnificent Character
Part 1/2
“Who?” Samuel asked. He squinted his eyes at Ben and tried to pick up as many details as he could. He had long, thick yet straight hair that fell to his sides, and he was still wearing his graduation robe, just like Samuel. Unlike Samuel, Ben had his sleeves rolled up, and he had no graduation cap. Samuel took a smell of the air and noticed a nice smell coming from his arms. It was almost as if he was wearing perfume or cologne.
“What do you mean who? It’s me, Ben!” Ben shouted.
“Sorry, I don’t really think I know you,” Samuel apologized. Samuel eyed Ben’s belt and noticed he had a few stone tools.
“Hold on, how’d he get those? Only Ruby knows how to make them!” Samuel thought. Aurora scowled, still not trusting the newcomer.
“Who am I to trust you? You still haven’t answered my other questions.”
Ben’s facial expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Aurora with a dead serious look.
“Look. Me and my group found a way to tame the dinosaurs of this island. With the process you can make them your pets. You can make them your personal bodyguards. It’s only reserved for those who were strong enough to best them in battle,” Ben explained grimly.
“What? Tame dinosaurs? How’s that even possible?” Aurora said.
Ben put his arms up in the air, spinning around and showing all of the wonders of this forsaken place.
“Just look around. Dinosaurs, weird glowing obelisks, glowing supply crates which give knowledge, weird gems in our arms, don’t you think anything is possible? Like riding a T-Rex?”
Samuel eyed Ben’s wrist and saw an implant there too. It was glowing green, and Samuel looked at Ben’s rolled up sleeves. He could have sworn vines were poking out of them.
“Suspicious,” Samuel thought, “But I’m more intrigued than anything. How does he know about this dinosaur taming? How did he get those tools? Who is his group?”
Ben’s eyes darted to Samuel and he smirked.
“You must be REALLY suspicious of me right now,” Ben said with a sigh. He then gave a big grin, “Don’t need to be! I have no reason to be risking my life over this. But I did come trying to find people for a reason.”
“And what’s that supposed to be?” Aurora said.
“Well, to put it straightforward, the Book Club wants more members,” Ben explained, “A few others and I had found each other when we first woke up, some of the most prestigious writers and readers. Then one of us realized that the place we were in practically replicated the places of a book that they had read.”
“What?”
“That’s right. The island we’re on now,” Ben said, looking up at the rising sun, “Is the same setting as a book that someone had read.”
“And how are we even supposed to believe you?” Samuel laughed. Ben looked at the unconscious raptor, which was breathing faster and seemed close to waking up.
“I’ll prove it to you right now. Feed that raptor some meat.”
“Excuse me? Are you trying to order us around?” Aurora said with a scowl.
“No. Just trying to prove to you…” Ben said. Then a big smile grew on his face, and he laughed, “That this place is just like a fantasy, sci-fi story!”
Samuel and Aurora both dug around their pouches, but unfortunately had no meat.
“It doesn’t matter where it comes from,” Ben revealed. He and Samuel both looked at the other dead raptor corpses, and Samuel turned white. Samuel looked at Ben, and he nodded in affirmation. Samuel walked up to one of the dead raptors and dug his hatchet into it, cutting its torso into pieces for the raptor to feast upon. Samuel then took a few pieces and put them in the unconscious raptor’s mouth. It began to feed on them, and suddenly its eyes fluttered open!

“I hate fishing and I don’t wanna use my powers to fish and plus I’m horrible at it” complained rose, “oh hush at least the desert people aren’t after us” said a pissed off dagger, “We are freaking drakes, we are not meant for fishing” said rose, “we are aquatic drakes and we can swim but we have to learn to fish from land” snapped dagger, “h-hey! You see that” said rose immediately going underwater, as dagger caught up to he saw an underwater frozen iceberg with a blue icy phoenix?. ‘Aquatic language:what is that rose?’, ‘aquatic language:I don’t know dagger’, until rose chipped the iceberg apart with the already crack in the iceberg, she grabbed the unconscious icy phoenix and went onto land, “what do you think your doing!? Rose!” Dagger said, “let’s bring this to the village maybe it’s a phoenix that got a color mutation” said rose, “alright” responded dagger
Have a good day/night!

Live Or Die
Chapter 13: The King Of The Earth
It was pitch-black, a swallowing night but I still stalked my prey through the dark abyss that engulfed the place. For a predator as large and heavy as he was, Retribution was surprisingly quiet unless he wanted to be loud. I followed him right to his lair, where he checked his nest before laying down. He was out stone-cold, sleeping like a rock. I put away my tranq arrows and took out the narcotic itself, slowly edging up to Retribution’s open mouth where I poured it in. He began to stir, so I poured more in, and more and more and more before he woke up with a start. I grabbed the rest of the narcotic and ran. He roared, and set out after me and Dagger but he was disorientated from all I had fed him. He stumbled about, knocking down trees accidentally and with heavy footsteps slowly chased us. He looked drunk, so I turned round and fired more and more arrows into his front before he realised he needed a different tactic- run. He turned tail, and the hunted became the hunters. We pressed the offensive until finally, with an Earth-shattering thud, he fell unconcious. I slowly fed him all throughout the night, and by morning he was sat like there like a well-trained labrador. My eyes were as heavy as boulders but we made the joirney home safely.
“Oh my god.” Were the first words to come out of Ruby’s mouth. Harvey was stunned silent. I walked past them all, climbed up the ladder into our community dorm and fell asleep in my bed. The next day, Dasha (who was covered in bandages) stood over me with a surprised look on her face.
“Is this what you woke me up for?” She said, gesturing at Retribution’s nose sniffing the window. I barely got up but saw his black nose and red chin breathing all over the glass. I laughed, but fell back into bed. I was exhausted.
It felt like a Monday morning when I woke up, but Ruby was dragging my arm into her… What do you call it? Sewing place? Leathercraft? I’ll call it that. She dragged me into her leathercraft to show me an enormous saddle. I smiled, knowing darn well that I was about to learn how to ride Retribution. We took the saddle and walked it over to my Rex- when I hopped on the saddle, it was like having the power of God in my reins. I steered him one way, then the other, told him to bite an unsuspecting parasaur that he swallowed whole in one swift bite. It was magnificent, how he loomed over the rest of the world with such power and dominion. The king of the Earth.
Harvey had completed his armour designs, so now we had proper metal armour. It was durable, and Ruby added some insulation to protect us from the elements but it could get a bit warm or chilly depending on the weather. Then we realised that we didn’t have the numbers to defend our home, so we had to recruit. That’s when Dasha had the brilliant plan of making a bar and some shops to lure in travellers, tribesmen and others who could become allies or spill the beans on wherever Raphiel had his main fortress. Then we realised that if Jude snitched on our base and everything about us, Miranda could do the same about them. We just had to get her back.

Here we go again...
Shadow Wranglers
Chapter 7(6 in morellatops, if you go to new to scorched earth, just go in order.)
"Heads up!" Shadow shouted as a Phoenix dived at frost. Shadow net gunned it and it fell to the ground. The flames burned through the net, scorching it. The net stayed intact though. "Fire proof nets, this isnt my first rodeo." Shadow said. "5 left." Frost replied. "I can see that." Shadow said while pointing north. The remaining 5 were scorching a town. "Well, see you there!" Shadow said as she melted into a shadow. At first it was just a circular shadow, then it morphed into a thyla shape. The shadow seemingly ran towards the town. Frost morphed into a bird and chased after Shadow. The suns rays shown through the clouds, causing the heat to rise. Shadow leapt from her shadow form onto a phoenix. "Ouch ouch ouch! Bad idea! Hot hot!" Shadow complained and she net gunned the phoenix. The other 4 saw what happened and charged towards frost and shadow. "Oh they're gettin smarter!" Frost exclaimed. Both pulled out their net guns and shot all 4 down. Shadow walked over and sent them to the shadow realm. "Next is rock elemental. Thatll be extra fun."

The Twisted Sands- Chapter 3
“This is a Wyvern.” 89 pointed to the dragons. “There are three types. Lightning, fire, and poison. Today you’re going to learn how to ride them.”
Slav hopped on a Poison Wyvern and flew it around. He landed and the Wyvern bit a wandering Paracer.
“That’s not even the best thing.” Kalo yelled.
“This is!” Jenny whispered to her lightning Wyvern, and it shot a massive bolt of lightning. Nox winced, painful memories of lightning coming back to him.
—————————
“The giga roared with fury. He let out a blast of lightning.
Wait... a blast of lightning??
“What are you doing? Kai found the man and held him at gunpoint.
“We are advancing science! Weaponizing our tames for more power!”
Titan roared and tried to claw out his lightning cannon implant.
“You’re hurting him!” Yelled Kai. He ran back into the battle, fumbling his armor on.
Nox distracted the Giga, who shot a furious lightning blast at the cage. It shattered, and Cutter leaped out, attacking the furious giga. The giga stomped on the ground, and bit down hard on something.
It was Roughtooth.
“No!!” Nox yelled, running towards his brother.
It was too late.
(P.S., this flashback is chapter 12 of The Swamp)
—————————
“Nox! Are you okay?” Cutter shook him awake. In the distance, Nox could make out Kai on his Fire Wyvern, Jenny on a Lightning Wyvern, and Slav on a Poison Wyvern.
“Yeah...I’m fine.” He threw up on the ground.
—————————
“This place isn’t very much of a ‘heaven.’” One of the soldiers said.
“Quiet!” Haphis replied.
“I’m just saying-“ the soldier had sealed his fate. Haphis picked up a cluster grenade.
The scream of a loyal soldier being killed by his commander didn’t faze anyone else. They slowly trekked across the badlands, looking for those stupid people who had tried to stop him.
The girl’s griffin! Haphis saw its corpse sprawled out over a flat rock, being slowly gnawed away by troodons.
“We must be getting close.” He snarled. “It’s finally time for my revenge.”
The Twisted Sands- Chapter 7
The desert was hot and forbidding. Kai could no longer move. His Thyla moved for him.
Any water they found was too dangerous or dirty to drink. Many more cannibals like the man from before wandered out and tried to kill them. What the desert could do to a person was unforgettable.
“I see haphis’s base!” Cutter shrieked. He crawled through the sand until he came to a rock. It was a mirage.
“Cutter, get up.” Nox begged.
“Just let me die here, Nox...” he sighed. He fell asleep, and Nox began dragging him along.
—————————
“Forget about those stupid meddling people.” Haphis said to himself. “You’ll defeat the guardian and you’ll ascend.” He was walking alone in the dunes, off to the sunken city. The coliseum. The statue of the guardian. No, the statue of the Manticore.
Ten human skeletons were spread out across the coliseum. Haphis had seen more and more human bones the longer he stayed in the desert. Something big was going on. Something big was coming.
“I don’t care what’s happening.” Said Haphis.
“Fool!” He said back to himself. “We must prepare- AAAAUGH!!!” The warlord let out a corrupted cry of pain. The corruption on his body spread slightly. Huge black spikes grew on the parts of his back where the corruption was.
Haphis finally understood.
The beast that was coming was him.
Twisted Sands- Chapter 9- The Final Chapter!
“Should we trust him?” Nox whispered to Cutter.
“No.” Cutter said. “We shouldn’t. I will kill him if anything goes wrong.”
Haphis entered the room.
“I need an army.” He growled.
“Do it yourself.”
Haphis held up a sword. He pointed it at Slav. He raised the sword.
—————————
“I can’t believe we’re taming Rexes for a madman.” Slav muttered. He rubbed the stump that was once his left arm.
“Shut it.” Haphis said. “Or your right arm will be gone as well.”
“There’s the obelisk.” Kai said. “Are we ready?”
“It’s time.”
—————————
The same old flash of light as they entered the boss arena. A giant Manticore flying down to meet them. The guardian of the desert was going to be a challenge. The next ark was going to be a challenge. What would the future hold-
Nox opened his eyes. He saw lots of weird mushroom trees. A glowing raptor. A hairless direwolf like animal. He closed his eyes.
Opening them again, he saw that they were in the heat of battle with the Manticore. Had Nox seen the future? He didn’t know. But he saw. He saw a blue Rex take one last bite. The manticore fell to the ground, dead. In an instant, Nox was lying on the ground again. Lying in the mushroom forest. Lying in the next ark.
Twisted Sands is officially complete! Look out for another story in the Featherlight section!- Swamp Guy
