More Rock Drake Stories Tips
I was with a decent size tribe with a bunch of friends.They raised a bunch of rock drakes when i joined them.However, there was one Rock Drake in Particular that was laying in the corner of the dino pen that has been neglected, never being used cause previous owner from the tribe has stopped playing ARK. The tribe decided that i earned the right to claim the Rock Drake as my own. It was only a 140, but i cherished that thing like a real buddy.I named him "Anon Loves me".Because he always had my back in the darkest time. When i first glided through the air with the drake. It showed me a side of ARK i never knew before, and showed me the oppurtunities the world had to give to me.
Unfortunatly the happy moments came to an end. We got attacked by a bigger tribe while i was on. My tribe leader insisted i flee and transfer servers. However, i could not take "Anon loves me" at the time cause of the sudden ambush. The Rock Drake and I looked at each other one last time before parting ways..
The rock drake chronicles
Chapter 6:
E.D was taking a Walk casually but then he saw that giant crab again! He charged in but then he stopped and saw he was now almost an Adult but now he went went into a rage and jumped and clinged to the back of the crab and bit half of its arm off “AHHHH” the crab echoed the water splashed loudly ad the rock drakes eyes were a dark blood red “What is that look in his eyes!” The crab was in fear he had never seen anything like this and he has seen a reaper baby get born! The rock drake he’d felt a rush of adrenaline into him and he went berserk and shattered the crab arm into pieces! “EVER MESS WITH ME… AND ILL KILL YOU!” Said the rock drake.
Once, there was a guy who had an infinite supply of green gems. Oh, and he also wanted a rock drake. He was looking through his inventory one day wondering what he could use his green gems for. Then he found the answer: climbing picks. He decided to then make a hazard suit and glider suit and go and steal a drake egg on foot. Why did he want to do this? 1: He was known for doing crazy things that never worked out, so he wanted to succeed. 2: He wanted a rock drake. 3: He wanted to prove the wiki wrong (who doesn’t?) and show that it was not impossible to steal a drake egg on foot. His plan? To fling himself from the fertile zone and follow the spine down to the grave of the lost. He would then land on a nest, steal an egg, and then glide out of the grave of the lost. After that, he would climb a tall rock, while being chased by drakes and nameless and make a dangerous glide to the spine, which was in the middle of an element river. He would then climb the spine all the way to the fertile region. He crafted his supplies and set off. He reached the point where he could jump. He jumped and glided out of the fertile zone. He was now above the bioluminescent zone. He started to laugh because he had a feeling of ultimate power. Then he realized that he didn’t know where the spine was. He stopped laughing and glided around until he found it. He found where the spine dropped straight down to the grave of the lost. He had planned to just fall through all the rings in the spine and then catch himself and glide in. He didn’t make it past the first ring. He and to make tons of free falls and quick glides until he could get a decent approach. When he did, he glided in to the grave of the lost. He was going so fast that the eggs didn’t appear. He began to turn around until he saw an egg. He landed nearby the nest and climbed the rest of the way with his climbing picks. He turned toward the exit, grabbed the egg and took off. He felt powerful. He felt happy. He felt brave. However, he did not fly as far as he wanted to. He dodged a nameless and was nearly to the tall rock he needed to climb. Now I would like to say that he succeeded in making it out. Sadly, he got stuck on a rock. A small rock. A rock he could easily have jumped over. He was right next to a drake that was not aggravated. The drake hit him. A third of his health went down. He thought, “I can make it out.” Then he landed in the element river and died instantly. He was very disappointed. Although he failed, he did learn some valuable lessons. 1: It is very hard to glide across the entire map. 2: Don’t underestimate the wiki. Later, he tried again. He failed again. But he knows, that it is absolutely possible. He decided that he should wage a while, bring a light pet, bring at least 100 climbing picks instead of twenty, and bring a cryopoded animal as bait. He knew, that someday he would prove the wiki wrong. Someday, he would show that he was not a fool, but a master of stealing eggs.
If you liked this story, in the future, there may be a story of the survivors success. Also, there may end up being one for wyverns on ragnarok, but that has not happened yet.
The rock drake chronicles:
Chapter 2:
The rock drake woke up to the sound of bushes waving in the air and the river waving up and down his vision was blurry and he saw….
Another rock drake! “Are you ok?” said the other rock drake
“Yes but I broke my right wing” the rock drake said I broke out of my egg somehow “me too!” Said the rock drake did you also see the error sign?
“Yep” Said the other rock drake “my name is red” said the other rock drake. I don’t know my name said the rock drake. I should probably get out of this cave and find somewhere else to stay.
Overseer
Chapter 14 (previous in Glowtail)
As Fuzzball and Eclipse was being escorted by the Rockdrakes, Buddy poked his head out. “Chirp?” He looked at Fuzzball with curiosity. “Shh, don’t get in trouble!” Fuzzball whispered to the Glowtail and putted him back in his pouch. Fuzzball looked at Eclipse and saw him normally fine. If he was worried he didn’t showed. Soon they arrived at gate. “Lynx?” One of the guard said, looking at the Rockdrake that attacked Eclipse. “You know the drill.” She replied back. The Rockdrake quickly gestured the guard behind him to open the stone gates. Once the gate was open Eclipse and Fuzzball followed the Rockdrake. Inside was a bit uneasy, there was Rockdrakes whispering about them, with unusual light. And there was nests guarded by their mother. Soon they arrived at a jail cell big enough to fit 3 of Eclipse in it. There was other prisoners in it too, the jail cell formed a line, in front of them was guards. “In.” The Rockdrake said. Fuzzball quickly obeyed but Eclipse gived her a nasty look. Then he went inside. They locked the door and disappeared. There was only two guards guarding the prisoners outside a medium sized door. “Why did they lock us up?” Fuzzball asked Eclipse.
“First of all, we’re intruders. Second of all, I’m an Shadowmane.” Eclipse replied as he sat down on the hard floor. “Say, have you heard of the Great War?” Eclipse asked. Fuzzball had heard that story from one of his best friend Whiteout. But he always thought it was just a made-up story from someone. “It’s real?” Fuzzball replied. Eclipse nodded at Fuzzball with a sad look. “It all happened when her Majesty Queen Comet was assassin by a guest, who was a Rockdrake. I was one of guard with Queen Comet during her dinner with the guest in the royal mess.”Eclipse explained as the sun went down. “How did Queen Comet died?” Fuzzball asked, taking Buddy out for air. “The Rockdrake was excused to the bathroom, I was right next Queen Comet when the Rockdrake secretly turned invisble when we weren’t looking and stabbed her in the head. The entire kingdom had to do a secured check all around. But the assassin was gone.” Eclipse continued. “That’s when we her daughter, Stargazer, who is now the Queen. Came to the throne. There was many changes, to the kingdom. She assigned me to be a Morse code translator and as a soldier as well. She declared war on the Rockdrakes.” “Then why is it called the Great War if the was only between you guys and the Rockdrakes?” Fuzzball asked. Soon night came. “Because when the war happened your Queen, Queen Diamond. Allied with Queen Stargaze because the Rockdrake was an threat to their supply lines. While the Carno allied with the Rockdrakes. Soon half the continent was at war.” Eclipse said. “I was at a battle between the Rockdrake borderline, translating a Morse code for the Shadowmanes. During the process the machine was damaged from a spear and I was stabbed in the hind legs.” Eclipse said, showing his left hind legs. There was huge stitches. “What did we do? Like how did we help?” Fuzzball asked. Other prisoners was also secretly listening as well. “Ah, you guys were a help. Due to your small size . You guys were able to protect many of our forts to your size, the Ferox destroyed supplies being shipped to the Rockdrakes and their did surprise attacks.” Eclipse replied.
“Soon, the Rockdrake Queen, Sundrop. Give up and signed a peace treaty. I was asked if I want to return to my daily life as a guard but I refused. I decided the join a ships crew called the “Mayflower”.” Eclipse finished. Fuzzball looked around himself and other prisoners quickly turned their heads back in surprise. He saw a machine that seemed to be a shield to Fuzzball. “Hey Eclipse, what’s that?” Fuzzball asked. Pointing to the machine. Eclipse eyes went wide and grinned. “It’s a Morse code machine! I could use it to send a message to the harbor.” Eclipse said as he got up. Suddenly a Rockdrake came to their cell. “Well hello.” The Rockdrake said. Fuzzball realized it was the same Rockdrake that attacked Eclipse earlier today. Eclipse looked at her with surprise. “Look, I know you guys are mad but I had to. I’m Lynx.” Lynx said, as she sat in front of them. “I’m Fuzzball and this is Buddy.” Fuzzball replied shyly. “Ah, I figured you guys lied anyways.” Lynx said. “You?” She looked at Eclipse. “Eclipse.” He replied with a sign. “Ok. Well you guys will be released when further instruction is assigned.” Lynx said. “See you guys tomorrow, and it’s pretty late. So rest up.” Lynx said as she turned back and walked to the exit. “I thought they hated Shadowmanes.” Fuzzball said when Lynx left. Eclipse kept looking at her until he realized Fuzzball was waiting for a answer. “Well I actually don’t know.” Eclipse said with embarrassment.
“Then good night.” Fuzzball said as he laid down with Buddy next to him. There was more surprising things for tomorrow.

Sorry if it was boring.
The tale of Snowstorm.
Once I had a rock drake named Snowstorm. He was my first drake on aberration. Trip to the trench was dengerous and I went there with an army of spinos and a single megalosaurus named god slayer. He was the strongest mount I had. Level 220ish with 1450% dmg. Good mele imprint. My spinos fought bravely but in the end it was only me, 2 spinos and god slayer. I got a single 165 egg. When I arrived home I first experienced the pain of farming for aircons (12 wasn't enough.) but eventually it hached. It was pure white so I named it Snowstorm... I didin't move away from the young drake until it was properly raised. We went on many adventures it knew war, peace, survival and death... He was a true blessing and a well earned one. But once we went to the infamous halls of the reaper queen. The journey was sport but dengerous. I wanted a reaper but I knew I needed him. He was strong and could easily take on a queen. And after searching for a while we finally found a reaper queen. My bulbdog Bubbles turned on his light and we started, the battle was going well I managed to defeat the queen and get impregnated but then another one showed up my Snowstorm was weak and tired (had no stamina) I knew tryng to battle it was useless and escaping was out sunce my drake had no stamina and culdn't take any more damage. My only option was to let him battle the queen while I make my escape so I did. On that day I lost my friend, my hope, my world. I went home. Somehow I managed to escape the red zone without dying. I came home safe but felt empty. I got the baby out and raised it but the more time I spent the more I grew to hate the thing. It wasn't its fault but I still. I raised him to be a warrior to one day avenge the Snowstorm, a blessing that eventually faded away, a broken hope. I raised it to be a killing machine, butchering on my command, a monster that never knew love. After a long while I finally managed the strenght to go back and avenge my bolove drake. I went into the trench filled with hatred but when I came I saw a familiar face, a long white body with a silver mane with blood dripping from its wounds. It was Snowstorm and next to it 2 dead reaper queens. I was so happy to see him again. To this day I don't know how he beat the queen but in the it didn't matter. In the and I realised I grew fond of my own Reaper king and in the end everything was brought back. The same day I faced the beta rockwell the fight was grueling but in the end I beat him. But every victory comes with a price. This time it was my Shadow, the reaper king. I felt sorry, he only knew love in his dying breaths and lived for the sake of somebody he didn't even know. That was the tale of Snowstorm, a blessing to some and a curse to others.
