Shade was starving. It had been five years since he had been taken from home. All there was to eat was… rotting flesh. Disgusting.
“You… get back to work!” A summoner screeched. How Shade wished he could tear the ugly thing to pieces! But he went on dragging the cart of… of… well Shade wasn’t sure what it was. It was a liquid something. And a solid sort of darkish blue tablet. Shade hated the smell of the stuff. It smelled… dark. Strange. Unfamiliar. Like evil. Shade wished Moon was here with him. She would make things so much easier, more hopeful. But Moon was gone. Dead.
Sorry for the short chapter. Also an FYI I cannot get genesis one or two so I have no idea what the creatures are like except for their pictures.

Episode six: Eat Tail
It had been weeks since crew returned to their base and began to incubate the egg. They hadn’t even left the base, to intent on waiting for the egg to hatch, and eventually, it did. One of the biologists who had been tasked with checking on the egg on a daily basis walked into the incubation room, and met a mysterious sight.
“What the hell happened here?” He asked himself as he looked around. The incubator had been completely destroyed and the egg inside had been reduced to a broken egg shell. He looked around, trying to find who did this. But then an idea came to him: perhaps the egg had hatched, and the baby had destroyed the incubator in an attempt to get out. Suddenly, there was a screech, a horrible screech, like someone scraping their fingernails across a blackboard, but much louder. An immense creature appeared, at least five metres long, and pushed the man towards the wall. The creature raised its scorpion like tail and stabbed the man through the mouth, pinning him to the wall. The creature stared at his lifeless corpse, and pulled its tail out of his mouth, causing his body to slump to the floor. It turned to the door, and walked out into the base...
Rockwell’s Reign (Lamprey)
Chapter 2
A pack of four Bonehounds were feasting on two sarcosuchus, which were probably mates since they were both there when the bonehounds had killed both of them. The leader of the pack, Skull, begin to speak.
“I’ve really been thinking, and I think of figured something out.” Bone said, awaiting the others responses.
“And what could that be?” A darker-colored bonehound said, who was known as Deathhide.
“Our entire purpose is to kill survivors, yet all of them keep respawning. We have never made progress, and because of that, would if we disobeyed Rockwell and did something.. different?” Skull suggested to his pack.
“Disobey Rockwell? Are you insane?” Said Rust, a confident she that had skin the color of rust.
“If we disobeyed Rockwell, he’d skin us in an instant!” Said Venom, a quite strong bonehound. Deathhide stayed silent, attentively watching the responses, as usual.
“I know it sounds absolutely insane, but we could do anything instead of constantly traveling with no den to rest in!” Skull said. The group argued for a bit, until they eventually came to an agreement: if they were to disobey Rockwell and do whatever they wanted to, they had to expand their pack and let in different creatures.
“Bringing in non-bonehounds into our pack is dangerous, and therefor shouldn’t be be done!” Said Deathhide, in an annoyed tone.
“Deathhide, you are to do as your leader tells you.” Skull said, keeping a calm tone.
“Alright, fine. But what are we to let in, where are we to go?” Said Deathhide. The group decided it was best to travel around, and find different things.

Hey shadowmane!
Can’t wait for your next story! Just took the time to read your wyvern story! I hope you get encouragement instead of hate. I have given you a like, but it seems as though the haters out there are dislikeing your comment. Don’t worry about them. But anyway hope your story comes out soon!
Tina. Write back soon please!
Hi Tina! I am so glad that you like the story. It is really encouraging. Sadly, Lamprey kept forgetting so he told me he was going to stop his part of it. I was originally going to cancel it, but if you really enjoyed it and want me to continue it, I will happily do so. I also don’t want to take away space from your story in Shadowmane. I also have a story that I will pick up again in insect swarm. Also, if you have any ideas for the plot of this story, I will gladly listen to them and use them since I have no ideas as of right now.
I am so glad that you are going to be writing and I hope it goes well. I am excited to read it and will be happy to provide feedback or tips. I love helping people and it is never a bother if you ask for help. I saw your request for any tips and am happy to give a couple big ones right now and maybe a couple more along the way. Again, no matter what I say you do not have to do it and I am not criticizing your story. I have helped people before and that’s what they thought I was doing, so I would like to mention that right now. Can’t wait to see how your story comes along!
Tip 1: This is a tip I give to every new fanfictioner that asks for tips. Your story is your own, which means, you have full control of what goes in and what doesn’t. You don’t have to meet the wants of others. What you think while you are writing comes out in it. If you are frantically writing something for someone else, it will be a frantic story with many mistakes. If you write something that you want to write, not that someone else will want to read, your story will be a beautiful piece of art. I always write how I like to write, and I always thought there were no true fans, but here I am writing to one. They are out there. Don’t worry about it.
Tip 2: Punctuation is key. Now when I say this, I don’t mean you need to have perfect grammar and punctuation. If you understand what each punctuation mark does, you can use them wherever in your story. It does not have to be grammatically correct. Put commas where you want pauses, not when it is always correct. Put the necessary punctuation in to make your story read how you want it to. A couple big things to make notice of is you don’t want to use all caps. An exclamation point does more than you think. All caps is for loud booming voices and things on a computer screen such as diagnostics. Same with the actual numbers. It looks better if you say one rather than 1. The 1 stands out and people will be drawn to it. It also takes the flow from the sentence. When someone new speaks, always make a new paragraph. It makes it easier to read. And all the dialogues don’t need to end with so and so said or replied. If it is a two way conversation, make sure the first speaker is noted, and through in a so and so said occasionally. The new paragraphs you put in will do the rest. Lastly, if your character is saying something, it also does not have to follow any grammar rules. I like to say what the character says in my head. Then I write it with whatever missing letters and commas. It makes their speech sound like them, no monotone.
Sorry for the long post. I hope these tips helped and will be happy to give more. I will give as much support as I can and am excited to see where your story goes.

Right, here’s a description of the creature in Oblivion:
It is five metres long, with a body shaped similar to a megatherium’s, but with black scales instead of fur. It’s head is similar to a shadowmane’s (check the genesis 2 trailer), but black with glowing red eyes. It’s mouth is full of jagged teeth, and it has a long, scorpion like tail. Hope this was helpful, please can you leave down name suggestions for the creature, having a name for it would make writing a lot easier.

Genesis 2: Chapter 1: The Strong, The Weak, The Evil. ‘HLNA’s voice boomed, “Hang on! I can’t seem to find you” Vonnie woke up, being dragged by a Rockwell tentacle. HLNA closed the door the tentacle was coming from, severing it off. Rockwell began to speak with telepathy, “Little Gnats, how did you find your way on my spaceship!” The last thing Vonnie remembered was being teleported. He began breaking trees, grabbing rocks and picking berries and fiber from bushes. A raptor snuck up behind him, yet he knew due to the helmet visor. He crafted a spear and turnt around just as it was midway in the air trying to pounce. The spear impaled the raptor as it desperately tried to escape. He pulled his pickaxe out, harvesting the meat and hide. He cooked it, eating it. The next day he beat a innocent parasaur with his bare hands, stuffing berries down its throat. It began to tame and he crafted a saddle, he put it on its back and climbed on, exploring. He crafted bolas and bola’ed a raptor and punched it until it was knocked out. He forced meat down its throat and tamed it, he crafted a saddle. He soon got bored and learnt how to build with stone. He made himself a large base with stone but it was quite empty. He created a breeding pen for his future dinos, and he added feeding troughs. He began taking everything he saw, carbonemys, sire wolves, Mae wings, he saw a large metal creature and began hitting it with his axe. He died.. Yet somehow came back with the same body. He found a platform and did missions. He managed to finish every last one and he got himself two snow owl, and argy, and two Pteras. He grabbed the fastest ptera he had and rode into the hole in the wall. He went into a land that was corrupt and he made fish baskets because he heard of a half lion half fish creature that he could tame. He saw a level 498 female Bonehound and fed it fish as it slept. He found a level 532 male and fed it fish, he left with his new games and went back to base. But be warned, this was for sure not the last bit of his journey.’
Hey guys! It’s me Smiley -o-, this hurt my hands. Should I do a part 2?
Rockwell’s Reign: Chapter 7 Part 1
- The Nazgûl
Erin had been tracking the Bonehounds for near an hour. She had gone back to the massacred camp and found a few weapons in the small hut. She grabbed a bow and a dagger. She wasn’t confident that she would do any damage with them, but she might as well have some form of defense. Having tracked things before, and considering how obvious the Bonehounds trail was since they had apparently been injured when taking out the camp, tracking them was easy. After about ten minutes, she began to hear noises. She stopped and listened. She thought she heard talking, but she also thought she only heard growls. She moved in closer. Through the tall grass, she could see the Bonehounds. They were talking with each other. She outlay heard growls, but occasionally a word of English caught her ear. This was weird. She consecrated on listening for the English more. It suddenly was all English and no growls. It was like she was thinking their entire conversation. She was trying to figure out what was happening when she heard one of the Bonehounds mention hunting humans. She drew her bow. One of the Bonehounds heard her. Staring into its eyes, she lost her focus. The arrow flew. She heard one of the Bonehounds grunt in pain. The others rushed at her. She tried to draw another arrow, but the other Bonehounds got to her and knocked the bow out of her hands. The arrow again managed to somehow hit the same Bonehound in the leg. She tried to fight with her dagger. One of the Bonehounds pounced on her. Her dagger got knocked from her hands. She yelled in anguish, as the Bonehound knocked it away. As soon as she spoke, the Bonehound paused. He spoke to her. She barely caught what it said as she remembered to listen carefully, or rather think more carefully. “You’ve enraged Bone. Your death may be soon.” She was very confused. Without thinking she spoke back. “Bone? How do I understand you?” After speaking, she realized how foolish this was as she didn’t know if the Bonehounds could understand her. She did not expect a reply, but the Bonehound left to join his friends and spoke to them. The Bonehound she shot in the leg, apparently their leader, came forward. “You speak my language. Why do you attack us?” It asked. Thinking it weird that she was having a conversation with an animal, she responded.
Rockwell’s Reign (Lamprey)
Chapter 6
The pack of bonehounds had found a den to sleep in, it was quite large and belonged to something else, but it didn’t matter, the bonehounds could most definitely kill it. Most of the wounds that the bonehounds sustained weren’t too bad and were already healing, but the process would take much longer than it looked like. It was morning, time for another hunt. The bonehounds exited den as the beautiful sun was rising. If they wanted prey, they needed to be quick to find another survivor’s home, one especially with other creatures to feast on.
“If there were anymore humans around here, their either trying to hunt us down or already gotten out of the area, turrets are very loud.” Venom said, he clearly wasn’t confident about actually finding what they were looking for, but it was worth the try.
“Theres always a chance we catch wind of prey scent, or maybe even blood, don’t keep your hopes low.” Rusty replied to Venom. Rusty had a good sleep, which meant she was in a good mood, which was just what we needed.
“Quiet, I hear something.” Bone said. As Bone had said that, there was small movement behind him, something the size of a human could make.
“A human.” Deathhide whispered. Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air and hit Bone in the leg. The arrow was able to get pretty far in there, but its full potential stopped by thick hide. Another arrow came out, hitting bone again. The bonehounds quickly rushed towards where the arrows came from, Bone was furious about being hit by those. Deathhide saw a glimpse of the human, it looked like she had a bow and a small dagger. She was quick though, evading the bonehounds as she tried to kill them. Deathhide saw the human, and not only that but Deathhide had a good position. Deathhide leapt at the human, and pinned her. She quickly tried to reach for her dagger, but Deathhide quickly moved it away, still holding the human down.
“My dagger!” The human said. Did that human just speak in Bonehound language?
“You’ve enraged Bone, your death may be soon.” Deathhide said, seeing if he could get the human to speak more.
“Bone? How do I understand you?” The human said, surprised. Deathhide got off the human, keeping her weapons away as the rest of the bonehounds approached.
“That human speaks our language.” Deathhide whispered to Bone as he walked by, and then standing by his packmates.
“You speak my language. Why do you attack us?” Bone said as the other bonehounds surrounded the human. The human had no escape, and along with that the human had no weapons on her.

Rockwell’s Reign: Chapter 1 I guess since Lamprey did the Prologue?
- The Nazgûl
Erin pushed hard against the raging wind. This area used to be a vast desert, until the strange whatever it was started invading. Now it was more deadly. Creatures were also now covered in a strange purple substance. Whatever all this stuff corrupting everything was, she hated it. She hated it more than anything. The sickly look of everything. The animals unable to resort to their base instincts. She was unsure whether or not this corruption, as she decided to call it, was the cause of her dreams, but she knew it was not good for the animals. Erin was a girl who had always loved animals. She would watch and study them for hours. She knew all about them. Now that the corruption was here, the animals were more hostile to one another, but not to Erin. She had thought it strange, the day a Rex half covered in the corruption just walked by her, sniffed her, and left. She somehow had felt a connection to it, like her mind was it’s mind for just a second. It was the same for the other semi corrupted animals. But not for the fully corrupted ones. Some new creatures even appeared. She hated those the most. She pushed on towards the outcropping of rock up ahead. She needed to take shelter. She thought she saw shapes in a few feet away in the sand storm. They looked like several of those new “Bonehounds,” as she decided to call them, that had appeared. Hopefully they would not attack her. She finally made it to the outcropping, several times thinking a Bonehound would leap upon her and end her life there. If they were Bonehounds, she wondered why they had been so calm. As she thought she drifted into a long sleep, and the dreams began to take over.
