Egg Hunt

The Wyvern Attack

Ep1

A large shadow appeared on the ground In front of the trio of men as they made their way home.

"What is it?" Liam asked

"Looks like a bird of some sort, Pteranodon maybe?" Noah guessed.

"No, to big for a Pteranodon," Kurt said

A large ball of acid like poison hit the Earth in front of them.

"Poison Wyvern! Don't move!" Kurt hissed.

Liam and Noah stopped and watched the shadow become two.

"That egg you grabbed! It must have been a Poison Wyvern egg!" Liam panicked

"Shhhh"

"What do we do?" Noah asked

"Stay quiet and stay low," Kurt whispered

"Right!" Liam and Noah nodded

The Wyverns circled angrily above them, sending bolts of Poison crashing into the ground. One of Acidic streams hit Liam in the shoulder. Liam cried out in pain and fell to the ground, clutching his injured arm.

"Liam!" Noah rushed to his side, Kurt right behind him.

"Stupid leathery rat! Got my shoulder," Liam growled.

"Can you stand?" Noah asked, he already knew the answer as he watched the green poison slowly spread throughout Liam's body.

"Noah, help me carry him," Kurt gently lifted Liam up and helped him stand. Noah grabbed Liam's other arm and helped Kurt carry Liam into the bushes nearby.

Kurt poked Liam's injured arm, "did you feel that?"

"Yes!" Liam snapped

"Good, that means your arm is still alive."

"How are we going to get him back home like this?" Noah said

"I can carry him with Raven," Kurt replied, pulling the metal box out again

"What about me?" Noah's eyes widened, "Raven isn't big enough for two people to ride in his back!"

"Don't you have still have Cinder?" Liam asked

"Yeah? Still got Cinder?" Kurt threw the box, releasing the Argentavis once more

"Alright Raven, I need you to carefully grab Liam," Kurt instructed as he climbed into the saddle.

The bird screeched and lifted itself off the ground. It slowly outstretched it's talons and grabbed Liam carefully around his chest and legs.

"Smart bird," Liam chuckled as he patted the birds scaly leg.

Noah reached into his pocket and pulled out a box similar to the one Kurt had and threw it at the ground. A red, black and orange Pelagornis flew out and squawked.

"Hey Cinder," Noah smiled as he lifted himself into the saddle on the birds back.

"Ok, we'll stay low under the cover of the trees until the Wyverns are gone," Kurt said.

"Right," Noah nodded.

"Let's go!" Kurt told Raven.

The large feathery beast glided and dodged through the trees with ease, Cinder following close behind.

After an hour of flying the Wyverns had finally given up and flew back to their nest, accepting the fact that they would never get their egg back

"I think it's safe to fly out of the trees now," Kurt pulled up on Ravens reins, forcing him to go above the trees. Noah patted Cinders neck, signaling it was safe, the graceful Pelagornis carefully flew up to join Kurt.

Liam smiled, "are we almost home?" He asked weakly

"Yes, so hold on," Noah laughed

They flew home in silence the rest of the way.
