Chapter 4
From the start, Ember knew something was wrong.
There were prints along the ground. Big prints.
Yutyrannus prints - outside of their natural habitat far north - accompanied by the tracks of a few smaller creatures they decided were the minions this Yutyrannus brought along. Kage was well aware of the power of the Yutyrannus’s call, sending enough intimidation to rally smaller carnivores to their side.
“Oh shoot!” Swiftfoot yelped in panic. Even he realized what this all meant. Ember dashed ahead of them. “We seriously need to get to the camp. C’mon!” She then rushed off into the darkness.
“No kidding, detective.” Pernelle muttered before following after.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The camp where the group resided consisted of ruins of a stone structure, as well as natural resources and light sources salvaged from dead sapiens. In the center of the camp, where the floor was flat, stood a Yutyrannus with glistening white feathers and steel plates on her back, sides, and legs which served as armor. She was accompanied by three Allosaurs, their eyes all turned yellow to show they were under her control.
Behind one of the walls, a brown Baryonyx, a Troodon, and a Purlovia hid out of sight.
The Yutyrannus’s silverish-blue eyes burned into the crimson-gray male Carnotaur she conversed with, who stood firmly without breaking.
“Deriving from all evidence procured from the scene, three low-liver Saurs were involved in the destruction of the Arc Camp.. I presume these may be those youthful acquaintances of yours, Venator.”
The Yutyrannus was Yvennia Frigidfall, one of the intimidating and ferocious commanders of the Bane Empire’s military and almighty sovereign over her northern territory - an entire mountain known as Winter’s Mouth. She was careful to ensure absolutely every single outbreak all over the Island was personally investigated and monitored, and she had no need to worry about threats, for she was almost completely unmatched, having never known defeat against attackers of all kinds… except against a few.
“I know of their hunger for freedom, Yvennia. Like the last incident, I’ll control it.”
The carnotaur was Venator, a decorated war veteran and a caretaker of orphaned Saurs on the south keystone islet. He became a vigilante in the local area, and outbreaks were scarce. If it weren’t for his key role in the preventing of outbreaks against the Bane Empire, Yvennia would’ve killed him on the spot. She had another resolution on her mind.
“They snuck out when you least expected it, Venator. They destroyed the entire camp, killed many new recruits off,” Yvennia snarled. “Thus, I require you to turn in the Saur responsible for this mess.. before it promotes more riots islandwide.”
“You know I cannot do that. At the very least, I could turn myself in,” Venator responded.
“You FOOL. You are astoundingly important to the security in this little radius.”
The towering Yutyrannus heaved a sigh, handing Venator a tiny TEK device. “If you happen to change your mind, contact me within 48 hours.”
Then she and her soldiers departed, leaving Venator in conflict.

Chapter 12-
(Note: There was an error in Chapter 11. Bloodfeather grabbed Teal's arm, not Bronzefeather)
"What do you want?" Tealfeather hissed, wrenching her arm out of her father's grasp.
"Patrol, now," Bloodfeather replied shortly.
"B-but," Teal stuttered, her gaze turning back to her brother.
"I said patrol! Don't make me ask twice..." Bloodfeather hissed aggressively.
With one last look at Bronzefeather and Greyfeather, Tealfeather turned to Bloodfeather.
"Fine," she muttered darkly.
"Where are we going?" Teal asked, her tone hinting at how annoyed she was. They were roughly ten minutes into the 'patrol' and Tealfeather had no clue where they were going.
"*That* is for me to know... and you to find out." responded Bloodfeather, his voice conveying no emotion.
They rounded a corner, and came face-to-face with another raptor.
The stranger hissed with surprise, and Bloodfeather's vision clouded with rage. The unfamiliar raptor slipped into the shadowy undergrowth and for a moment Teal was certain that her father would chase after him, but instead he took a deep breath and kept walking.
"There's a waterfall over here. I... wanted to show you," Bloodfeather said cheerfully
Teal was taken aback. She thought about how her father would never do this for her, and then immediately felt guilty. *Maybe he changed his mind,* whispered the voice of a younger Tealfeather in the back of her mind.
They came to a cliff and, sure enough, a breathtaking waterfall burst from the sheer rock. It dropped away into a clear lake that eventually led out into the river that ran through the area.
"Wow," she began, "this is really ni-"
She was cut off as Bloodfeather barreled into her, knocking her clean off the cliff.
Freefall was something Teal had experienced once, for a split second, when she fell off the highest rock that around the camp when she was younger. It wasn't soothing she wanted to do again. And as she was knocked off of the cliff, she nearly did. Tealfeather let out a scream and desperately lashed out with her claws. One connected with Bloodfeather, leaving a shallow cut down one side of his face, but another miraculously wedged itself in the space between two rocks.
"Why-" Tealfeather looked Bloodfeather in the eyes and saw pure hatred.
"Have you ever noticed that all siblings are born very close to each other," he began, his voice cold with long-concealed rage," And have you ever noticed how much older Bronzefeather is than you? You're too young to be of the same clutch, he's a whole moon older than you! I had one clutch of eggs. *One*. You're not my daughter. Your father was one of *them*. A rouge. Like Star." He smirked. "Yes, I know what you saw. It doesn't matter now. No one is ever going to find out what really happened to you." He chuckled, and as she watched, Bloodfeather ran his claws down his arm, opening a series of cuts that suggested a fight. "Goodbye Tealfeather."
And with that, he aggressively wedged his claws into the furrows of the rock that Teal desperately clung to and loosened it, causing Teal and the rock to plummet into the fierce waters below.

Chapter 11-
The heat was gone. That was the first thing Tealfeather noticed. The harsh heat if the desert had been replaced with a cool mist blanketing her surroundings. A slow-moving river ran nearby, cutting through the green, albeit dark, plain. Teal assumed it was night, although she couldn't see any stars. Teal drank deeply from the river, almost falling in as a result of the throbbing in every muscle of her body. "Am I... dead?" Teal wondered aloud.
"If you're dead, I'm dead too," a familiar voice said ruefully.
"Greyfeather!?"
Teal spun around just in time to see the majestic cream raptor stalk out of the bushes, a dodo dangling from her jaws.
"You have it," she said, gesturing to the dodo with a nod of her head, "I've already eaten one."
Teal stared at her friend curiously.
"Maybe you're dead too." she said finally. "Goldfeather?" she half-yelled.
Greyfeather winced.
"No, we're definitely alive. *It* happened again, whatever 'it' is. The same thing that happened before. The rest of the clan is over there. I... was one of the first to wake up."
Grey slowly stood from the crouch she had settled in and began to lead Tealfeather back to the rest of the clan.
A growl came from a nearby tree, and Teal saw Bloodfeather standing uneasily on one of the lower branches. "Let all raptors strong enough to attend meet at the base of this tree!" he called.
A small handful of raptors assembled, and Teal saw with a stab of sadness that many were either still sleeping or too weak to come. "As you all know," Bloodfeather began, "my deputy, Mintfeather, was recently killed. It is time for me to appoint a new deputy. For this role, I choose Tawnyfeather."
A murmur of congratulations and sadness swept through the assembled group. It was good that Tawnyfeather would be the new deputy, but the mention of Mintfeather brought sadness to many. He had served his clan until the end, and left behind a partner and two eggs, that had now hatched into Indigofeather and Silverfeather. His death was still a shock.
"It is also time for the partnering of young Bronzefeather. He has grown into a fine young raptor, and from now on his partner shall be Greyfeather." Tealfeather looked up in surprise. She had almost forgotten about Bronzefeather's partnering.
"Greyfeather, Bronzefeather, come here."
The two raptors nervously walked toward their leader.
"I now pronounce you partnered. Congratulations to Tawnyfeather, and these two, of course."
Cheers went through the growing crowd, but no-one was louder than Teal. She pushed her way through the crowd until she was as close as she could get to her two best friends.
"Come with me. Now." said a voice on her left. Bronzefeather grabbed her arm.

Chapter 10-
Goldfeather's burial was a rushed affair, carried out by Bloodfeather and Goldfeather's family - Grey, Tawny and Forest. The old raptor had died of starvation, and her corpse looked thin and sad as it was lowered to her final resting place. Teal noticed Bronzefeather and Greyfeather growing thinner, dark circle under their eyes. She assumed the same changes were reflected in herself. The only one who hadn't suffered in the slightest from the effects of dehydration and hunger was Bloodfeather, the leader looking plump and sleek as always. Teal seethe internally at her father, but kept quiet, preserving whatever moisture she had left in her parched throat. Teal was going out hunting. She silently crept past Bronzefeather, who would want to go with her. She couldn't risk his safety as well. This was the last time she could hunt, she knew, before she would be too weak to catch any prey.
The hot sun beat relentlessly on the hard, dry ground. The cracked mud flats kept claiming Tealfeather claws, and she had to keep wrenching them out of the cracks in between the chunks of sun-beaten earth. She hadn't found any prey. The creatures here seemed smarter than the prey back home - there had been barely any prey and little to no water for days. Teal began to make her way to an obelisk - a towering black pille embellished with a bright coloured gen in its centre. This one was red, and cast a red-orange glow, tingeing the sky's natural blue hue.
Suddenly, Tealfeather's legs gave way. She collapsed on the hard ground, unable to muster the strength to get up. Her head was spinning, and she felt as if she might black out. *I must be dying,* she thought, but to part of her's dismay, she felt comfortable with that. The mountains in the distance began to drop away leaving a distortion. *Must be the heat,* Teal though, her thoughts muddling together. She shut her bloodshot eyes, and the world went dark.
My raptor Billy had great stats and whenever we went hunting we would hunt brontos and came out every time with merely a dent but the one time I go into the swamps there were 4 kapros 2 sarcos and 5 titanaboas that attacked me. One of the kapros grabbed me and Billy started attacking, we beat it but then the rest came after me it was a battle for the books, I made it out alive but when I got on my pteradon and went looking for him I whistled follow all but only one creature heard (that was my pteradon) then I got the notification “ your raptor Billy was killed by a sarco” I WAS SO MAD! I killed about everything in that swamp and went home and built him a grave
.R.I.P Billy my best tame
Why therzinosaurs are so stupid and I’m heartbroken and my raptors are dead:
My pack. 1 trike. 2 carboneys. 1 pachy. 1 stego. 2 raptors.
I think that, since they have before, they can kill a therzinosaur. *anh!* Nope! I mean, well, yes, but with a terrible price. My shortsightedness. I MIGHT have had a vision. MIGHT, BECAUSE I REALLY DO HAVE VISIONS SOMETIMES! I also had a bad feeling already. I ignored it. I strike the therzinosaur and see that it’s level 22. WHAT?! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE! I see messages, “primitive hat (broken)” and something else, but I never found my second raptor so she’s probably dead. I then see other messages, “Your Triceratops-level die!, level 12 killed a therzinosaur, level 22” and “Your Raptorsaurus III, level 9 was killed by therzinosaur, level 22”. I am heartbroken and I want to kill something, or at least bite my sock. Up please, these are VERY hard times for me. Because, I would have had about 10 raptors total if they hadn’t all DIED! Why no therzinosaur will ever live again, unless I’m really thinking about my pachy, trike, carboneys, and stego. Which is always, because I learn lessons from being heartbroken.
Once I had a raptor who's name was speed and we were near my base hunting but speed got unconscious and he was near ocean so when he was unconscious, a stupid parasaur came and accidentally pushed him to ocean then I tried to follow him but he got lost in the ocean and I died. Then I killed the parasaur who pushed him into the ocean. You guys will think it funny but only I can understand it.
Teeth Chapter 1 :3 Fear rippled across Athena’s scales and feathers. No No NO! She thought rapidly. My mother, dad and brother, all being eaten alive by a giga. This can’t be happening. Not today. This must be a dream. Right? She pulled a feather. OUCH! Not a dream. Athena found a cave to hide in. She curled up. It all happened because of me, she thought with a whimper. She was out hunting, she found prey and dragged it back to her family. Little did she know a full grown giga was hunting there. The beast followed her, and she was the only one to make it out alive. “Who are you?” A voice echoed across the cave, making Athena jump. “I’m Athena who are you?” The creature stepped out of the dark and Athena saw who he was. An Alpha Raptor! Part of the Mystical kingdom! An enemy! A rival! A low hiss escaped Athena’s throat. The only reason Alpha Raptors weren’t apart of the Claw kingdom was because they were blood thirsty monsters. They killed for fun! Not for food, for FUN. “I’m not like the others! I promise!” He held out a claw and Athena sniffed it: a polite ritual in the kingdoms to greet others. “So where did you come from?” He asked. “I ran from a giga as he killed my family.” Athena whispered. “Oh I see.” The Alpha Raptor looked distant. “Since your apart of the Claw Kingdom, you have more members in your pack.” “Iwill help you find them” “Why should I trust you?” Athena said. “Because..” He grinned. “I will kill your if you don’t.” “I’m a blood thirsty monster, aren’t I?” -Thx for reading! Next chapter soon! Hoped you liked the first chapter!
