Blood swept across the battlefeild as the terror birds ran into the fight. The dodos didnt stand a chance against the survivors, but the terror birds might. They ran into the raging war, all of them from all the different ARKs came. The ones from Scorched Earth charged head-first as the ones from Valgrueo jumped from the trees and boulders, gliding and striking from above. The suvivors called for reinforcements as the terror bird king, a Raptor, screeched across The Island and called the Dodorex and Dodowyvern (the dodowyvern came with the terrorbirds from Scorched Earth) along with some raptors and more dodos. The dodorex came smashing through the trees at the Dodo side of the battle, reaching the feild where the battlefeild was and roared. It stomped through them and reached the humans. It blew fire across several tribes of survivors and killed many. The dodowyvern flew out of its hiding spot behing a towering rock formation and soared across, putting a shadow over the watching survivors. It attacked from above, leaving only a few behind.

The raptors and dodos rushed down a nearby hill and crashed into the battle. They wiped out the rest of the survivors quickly. The battle was done. The war is over. The dodos, raptors,terror birds and the big reinforcements all cheered happily. The dodos finally got revenge.

I hope you all liked the Story of the Dodo War. As always thank you for reading.

Journey: Chapter 22

While Crimson ate a small pile of meat as they sat near a water vein, Forest told her what happened to him. He told her about how he ended up in a different place, how he met Nightfall, the trouble he got into there, and that he met an insect named Nectar.

“So you were somewhere else called ’The Island ’ where you met this pint-sized Troodon who was being hunted down by a large group of his own kind and you got away by a giant bug who picked you guys up, saved you and flew away with you. Then you went to a volcano where you saw a terminal like from an Obelisk that got you here. Well you had a more interesting few days than I have. All I’ve done is hid away from predators and grabbed water.” Crimson saying with a mouth full of meat.

“Well I wish I didn’t have the more interesting time. I nearly got executed.” Forest said.

“Okay are we done talking, because it’s getting dark, and we should probably get moving to the Green Obelisk.” Nightfall said.

“Yeah, I think we’re done, I told Crimson everything that happened.” Forest said to Nightfall.

“Now wait, I have a few more questions about you Nightfall. Can you answer my questions while we walk?” Crimson asked while finishing her meal. Nightfall groaned

“Fine, let’s just get moving. Start asking away.” Nightfall said as he started walking.

Forest and Crimson walked with him “Okay, how do you know to speak Coelacanth?” Crimson asked,

“Well, I can speak more than that, I can speak most species languages including Human.” Nightfall stated.

“But how?” Crimson asked again,

“Uh.” Nightfall started he looked over at Forest for a moment.

“You can, we aren’t going to be hunted here, plus even if you don’t. We would have already endangered her by being with her.” Forest said.

“What?? You know why Forest?” Crimson said confused.

“Yeah and you will too.” Nightfall said “Okay here why.” Nightfall said.

Nightfall began to tell Crimson everything about his part of the story. About him being apart of a secret society of Troodons, that to join you have to learn something of importance and he chose Linguistics, how he learned more about the ancient knowledge of the Order, how he resigned from the Order and what that meant, having to kill two members to not get killed himself how he met Forest and their encounter with the Order.

“So Forest, you made friends unknowingly with an outlaw of a secret society that wants him dead and that makes you and me accomplices with him? Count me in!” Crimson said.

“Well, I think that part of his story is over Crimson. So I think that we aren’t accomplices to him anymore either.” Forest said,

“Well, probably not” Nightfall said as he climbed up on a rock to get a good view.

“What?” Both Crimson and Forest said in unison.

“After a few days, if the Order don’t already know. They will send out a message informing them that a member has resigned and is on the loose. And since I was with a wild who so happens to be the leader of the Five.-”

“I am not the leader.” Forest cut in.

“You kind of are though.” Crimson said after.

“Okay, Back to the point! Which means that we will be hunted down on any place we step foot. Which is why I want to get out of here before night falls.” Nightfall continued on after being interrupted,

“Ah Hah!!!!” Nightfall yelled.

“The Green Obelisk is ove-”

“WHO DARES DISTRIBUTE MY SLUMBER!!!! FOR THEY SHALL PAY!!!!!!” Something said out-loud for the three to hear.

The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 79: The Cure

And so, Sunny, Gary, and Paige were treading through the murky swamp, trying to find the leeches to make the cure for Skyler’s sickness. It was damp, hot, and overall unbearable considering they also had to wear the repugnant bug repellant that Rick made.

“When are we gonna find these damn leeches?” Paige asked, looking around. There were a lot of creatures running around and tussling about. Baryonyx, Sarcosuchus, and the strange Paraceratherium. But there seemed to be no leeches, even though this was where they typically come from.

“Maybe they’re leaving us alone because we have the bug repellent on,” Sunny suggested, “Not like I’m complaining though. I’d rather not get leeched.”

Gary seemed awfully quiet this time around, even in the presence of her sister. Something happened on his expedition with Skyler and Rick that made him this way. Sunny looked over at him and nudged him with her elbow.

“Hey! Brighten up!” Sunny told him, “Why the long face?”

Gary’s eyes darted up to a dry piece of land.

“Skyler got sick because of me. It’s my fault we’re here.”

“Wha-? What are you talkin’ about?” Paige said with a raised eyebrow, “You tried your hardest on that expedition. There was no changing Skyler getting sick.”

Rick put his hands in his pockets and looked down at the algae-filled waters.

“Hey. At least she’s only sick, okay?” Paige remarked, “At least she isn’t… dead.”

Paige’s expression fell at that. Sunny looked at both of them in worry. It seemed as if landing on this island only made their troubles worse and worse. Heartache was inevitable, but to this extent?

“Is this how… they felt?” Sunny thought as her mind wandered to those characters of her world. Voices and screams ran through her head as they trudged toward the dry land. It was almost as if she was there herself. The explosions, the cries, and the bloodshed filled her senses.

And then she began to weep.

“Why are we here?” Sunny sobbed. Tears welled up in her eyes as her mind ran wild, “Who put us here? Why would they put us here? How did they put us here-”

Paige grabbed Sunny, and gently wrapped her arms around her body. Sunny let out a sniffle, as she buried her face into Paige’s shoulder. Paige closed her eyes gently as she embraced her friend.

“I know you’re worried about us. We’ll be alright, Sunny. We’ll all make it out together. All of us.”

“T-thank you,” Sunny muttered. She pulled away from the hugs and looked into Paige’s eyes with a smile. Paige grinned back.

“Hey, anything to make a friend better. I always hug my friends if they’re feeling down in the dumps.”

Sunny looked into Paige’s eyes. For a moment, Sunny could see paint blobs in her reflection. They were blue and covering her eyes and face. But as Paige’s implant dimmed down, the blobs disappeared.

“Thanks, again,” Sunny said. Paige nodded.

“Of course, Sunny.”

“Hey. You two, look what I found!”

The two looked at the dry piece of land to see Gary holding a thick, big leech in his hand. But he didn’t seem to be calling them over because of the leech. Sunny and Paige walked over to Gary, and then Gary began to continue walking, until eventually they reached a large cliff that they couldn’t reach. They could see the remnants of a campfire atop. It would definitely be a beautiful spot to look at the stars.

“Look here,” Gary said. He pointed at a small crevice in the cliff. It was a cave. Both of their eyes widened at the sight.

“A cave? This is where that artifact was found, right?” Paige asked

Gary nodded. He held the leech up.

“We got the leech already. So why don’t we go in and collect the artifact?”

“Hmm,” Sunny muttered, “It could be dangerous in there. We didn’t bring any tames to mask our scent from the creatures. What if there’s something in there we can’t kill?”

Paige slammed her club into the palm of her hand.

“I wouldn’t worry about it. We’re all strong enough to take anything down. Well, probably not a Tyrannosaurus, but those definitely don’t live in caves. Even if things get bad… We can always run and tell the others about it. But if we get the artifact now it’ll be a win-win for us, right?”

“I guess so,” Sunny whispered. The three looked into the cave. They didn’t hear anything except the buzzing of electricity.

“Let’s go in,” Gary said.

The three stepped into the cave, and they were shrouded in darkness again. All of them looked on in awe. It was less of a cave and more of a huge metal platform that rose out of a lake of underground water. Giant metal “fingers” curved out of the platform and toward the roof. And resting in the middle of the platform was an artifact.

“Is that it? Didn’t think it’d be that easy,” Sunny said.

They walked toward the artifact, but as they did, a forcefield of hexagons manifested around it. Goosebumps began to ruffle on Gary’s skin.

“Oh great. Here we go again.”

Gary began to look around, as if something was going to come out for them, but nothing did. Paige’s eyes darted along the floor, and they pinned on a strange lever mechanism. Paige reached her hand out to grab it, but as she touched it, a zap of electricity pierced her heart.

BUZZ!

Paige let out a shriek as she placed her hand over her chest.

Sunny reached out to touch it too, and she experienced the same feeling.

BUZZ!

“Hmm,” Sunny said, scratching her head. She looked at the artifact, “The lever probably makes the forcefield disappear. But it’s charged with electricity, preventing us from doing so-”

Gary suddenly grabbed the lever, and a wave of electricity flowed into his heart. Gary let out a cough of pain, as he placed his other hand on the lever and pulled as hard as he could.

“AHHHHHH!” Gary howled in pain as his heart began to burn away. Blood spilled from his lips, as his consciousness began to fade away. His vision began to blur, and he smiled as he looked at the two again.

“Grab the artifact and leave.”

“But what about you?” Sunny asked. Gary shut his eyes.

“I lived a good life. You two just need to make it out safely and that’s all that matters-”

Sunny rolled her eyes and grabbed the lever. Paige followed suit.

“We’re in this together bro,” Sunny said, “This isn’t some dumb story… You aren’t dying on my watch.”

With both Paige and Sunny pulling the lever at the same time as Gary. Both of them felt sharp electricity puncture their heart, but Gary could feel the burden on his shoulders lessen. With a final pull, they all let out a scream of triumph as the lever stopped zapping them and the forcefield disappeared.

They all cheered and Gary let out a sigh of relief. Sunny patted him on the back and showed him the artifact.

“Why don’t you have it? You basically did the heavy lifting.”

Gary smiled, reached out, and touched the artifact. The artifact disintegrated and entered his implant. Gary’s implant began to glow, and suddenly two clones of himself appeared beside him. The others looked on in awe as the clones looked around, dumbfounded.

“Wow! There’s three of you now! I can’t believe I had two long lost brothers…” Sunny joked with a laugh. Paige looked one of the clones in the eyes, scratching her head and squinting.

“I don’t think they have emotions or know how to think.”

“Yeah, me neither, they’d be chattering nonstop if they did,” Gary realized, “Well I’m tired of this. Let’s just go back to camp, we got what we need and the artifact.”

So with that, they left the cave and headed back home with their finds.

~

“Alright drink up!” Sunny told Skyler as she held a glass vial to her lips. Skyler groaned and opened her mouth weakly. Sunny began to pour it down Skyler’s throat like it was water. Skyler began to choke, and Sunny withdrew the vial.

“Oh, my bad.”

With only a drop left to spare, Skyler swallowed it down, and sat up, rubbing her head.

“Thanks a lot dude,” Skyler commented, rolling her eyes. The redness in her face was already beginning to fade. She already seemed to be getting better. She held her wrist out, and her implant began to glow. The artifact of the hunter manifested in her hand.

“So I heard you managed to collect two more artifacts,” Skyler said.

“Yeah. You were right all along,” Paige apologized by bowing her head, “I’m sorry for not believing you.”

Skyler looked at her with a smirk.

“Oh don’t worry. It’s not personal. But now that we have three…”

She looked off into the distance of the green Obelisk, which seemed to be pulsating more intensely than usual.

“We have a trip to make. And all of us are going. Including our tames. Because something tells me isn’t gonna be that easy.”

“But what about the recruits? What about Ben and Chris?” Sunny asked, “Why don’t we just raid June’s castle with these artifacts and save them?”

“We can’t afford to wait for them. I have a good feeling about this obelisk now. And I think all of you do too.”

Gary spoke, “Skyler is right. I have a good feeling Ben has it handled. He has always been smart with his ideas. If we get to the obelisk and it really is the key to survival-”

“Key to escape,” Rick corrected him. Gary looked at him weirdly. Rick looked up.

“We’re gonna need to come in hot. Literally. So we need to start preparing before we go. We’re gonna need to brew some cold drinks, collect a lot of cool water, and start collecting armor around from the beacons so we can prepare for what that obelisk will throw at us,” Rick explained.

“And what’s so dangerous about this obelisk that we need to prepare so hard?” Simon asked.

“You don’t wanna know.”

Bobby began to get nervous at the thought.

“Well if that’s the case… We should get moving.”

And so they did.

The first time I encountered some of these was in my early game days. My raptor, Ember, and I had been roaming the map and finally came to the redwoods. After killing a few direbears and such, I kind of liked it and was even thinking of building a house when Ember and I get jumped by three terrors. Fortunately, Ember killed them all, but I was put down to half health. We continued, a little bit wiser, only to get jumped by six more of them. Ember took on five of them while the sixth separated me and killed me. Ember killed them, I’m assuming, because I teleported him back to me, and he only died much later with his pack from me thinking six raptors could take on three allos and one rex. Boy, was I wrong. Moral of the story is: don’t go in the redwoods as an early player. Thanks for reading! Hit those arrows if ya liked.

Chapter 22

“Fuzzball, psst! Wake up!” Fuzzball quickly got up and saw Honeydrop and the rest of the Dodos… afraid? “What is it?” Fuzzball asked as he let Buddy out for a morning stretch and gave him a small chunk of meat. “Sneaky reported that there was a huge sand invasion coming this way.” Honeydrop replied as Sneaky nodded from behind. “We gotta get moving then!” Fuzzball said as he got up and looked outside. There was indeed a huge sandstorm (not invasion) coming at them at a rapid speed. “Never mind, I guess we’ll just stay inside.” Fuzzball said.

“Soooo can we eat now?” Chunk asked as his stomach growled. “Sure, I’m pretty hungry as well.” Mocker said. As everybody sat down the ground started to shake, this made Fuzzball remember about Bob in a sad way. “Shouldn’t we just block the entrance just in case it doesn’t come inside?” Sneaky said with a worried tone. “We don’t have anything to cover it though. Not saying we have anything strong to hold it. So I’m sure we’ll be fine.” Honeydrop replied. Chunk then made a campfire and started to make some ‘berries and leaves dish’. “Uh guys, why isn’t the sandstorm here yet?” I asked. It was strange to see a sandstorm come very slowly, although this was the first time Fuzzball had seen one. “I’ll take a look.” Sneaky said as he got up and took a peek outside, exactly the same time when the sandstorm arrived. “AHHHHH!!” Sneaky shouted as the sandstorm was trying to take him away. “Sneaky hold onto my hand, guys help pull!” Fuzzball said as he reached for Sneaky’s hand. “Pull!!” Honeydrop shouted, everyone kept pulling until Sneaky finally got out of the sandstorm. “Rule number 1, never take a peek outside a cave.” Sneaky said then fainted. Everything seemed to be alright now to Fuzzball except the ground felt softer.

“SAND! It’s pouring inside!” Fuzzball exclaimed as he quickly picked up Buddy, who was enjoying the sand. “Cheep!” Buddy chirped sadly. Fuzzball quickly grabbed a few inches of sand and put it in his pouch for Buddy to enjoy. The Glowtail quickly saw the sand in the pouch and happily went inside. “So what do we do now!?” Chunk panicked. “We gotta go through the sandstorm!” Fuzzball said as he made his way to the cave’s entrance. The sand was already reaching his knee, which made it harder to walk. But Honeydrop grabbed him. “We’ll get buried alive out there though!”

“We’ll get buried alive here anyways if we stay here, Chunk and Mocker, carry Sneaky!” Fuzzball said as he helped Chunky by carrying a bag of supplies and putting it on his back. “Do you guys have a cloth or something?” Fuzzball shouted to the Dodo’s through the sandstorm's wind. “Yes!” Honeydrop shouted back. “Use it to cover your face!” Fuzzball replied as Chunk gave a piece of cloth big enough for everyone. Soon everyone was outside in the sandstorm. The wind was so hard that it nearly took Fuzzball and the rest of the Dodo’s away.

“Incoming big stick!” Mocker shouted as he pointed at something in the sky. At first it seemed to be a shaggy object but as it got closer Fuzzball realized it was a log, and it was heading straight to them. “Get down!” Fuzzball shouted as he quickly dropped down to the ground. But it was too late. The log had already hit the rest of the Dodo’s and dragged Fuzzball along. “AHHHH! My beautiful body is gone!” Chunk exclaimed as his body was underneath the log.

Suddenly something hitted Fuzzball’s head and everything faded black.

Chapter 1

The new bird

Ivy walked by the water, waiting for someone to appear, “No people yet?” Jermen asked markedlessly coming from no where. Ivy replies awkwardly “ye-yes..” jermen smiles knowing what’s wrong, “Are you afraid of people that are older than us?” Jermen asked. Ivy didn’t wanna speak, but he had no choice. “Sigh) I’m sorry it’s just that I’m 4 years old they could be 10 or 11 years old-“ before he could finish his sentence, a Raptor appeared. Ivy yelled “RAPTOR, JERMEN RUN!” The Raptor looked curiously at the both of em. Naven appears. “Run now! I don’t want you to getting hurt after what happened to mom and dad! Go now!” Ivy and Jermen ran as fast as they could running back to the nest, Naven yelped as he passed out and the Raptor ran away, Ivy couldn’t dare to even look back, but he did! Seeing Naven passed out Ivy ran back. “IVY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERES A-“ Jermen saw what happened and ran back too. The Raptor was gone, but Naven was almost dead at the sight of saving them. Who knows if he’s still alive, or dead. Ivy questioned himself: is he dead? Did the Raptor kill him? Without Naven, they might be alon forever.

The Riddles of the Phoenixes Series

Chapter twenty one: Arguments.

*DING DONG!!!!* *DING DONG!!!!!!* A bell rang loudly. On and on and on and on and on and on. Rowan was in darkness. She could see absolutely nothing. A smothering darkness choked her and she clawed and fought to get out of wherever she was. *DING DONG!!!!* *DING DONG!!!!* she clutches both sides of her, trying to keep the bells from making her go deaf.

“Rowan.” A voice called. Rowan spun to see her mother, her eyes dark with disappointment. “You failed. Such a disappointment. Ugh disgrace. I thought you wouldn’t let me and your father down.” Her mother said.

“Mother please. I’m not a disappointment. Please! Let me try again!” Rowan pleaded. Her mother shook her head slowly. “Disappointment.” She hissed. Rowan stepped forward, coughing vigorously, choking on the smokey fog. “Disgrace.”

“Mother please!”

Rowan reached for her mother but she’s vanished into midair. Tears gathered at the edges of Rowan’s eyes. “Please! Mother come back! I’ll do better! I promise!”

“YOU’RE TOO LATE. YOUR FATE IS SEALED. SEALED IN STONE.” A voice growled.

Rowan squirmed in panic, trying to get out.

She caught sight of someone briefly. A woman with dark red hair that fell to her shoulders and white eyes. “Rowan..” The woman whispered, her face contorted in pain. She held out a hand toward Rowan. Rowan reached for it. Almost there. And then she grabbed it.

But she stopped. Something had grabbed Rowan’s ankle and was pulling her away from the woman. And then more hands grasped Rowan pulling her down, choking her. “Please help me..” She choked. But the woman was gone.

*DING DONG!!!!* *DING DONG!!!!* *DING DONG!!!!!* “SEALED IN STONE SEALED IN STONE SEALED IN STONE SEALED IN STONE SEALED IN STONE SEALED IN STONE—”

~

Rowan awoke to someone shaking her. She sat up gasping. She looked at the person who’d woken her up. It was Kannon. Rowan rubbed her eyes and blinked at him, scowling. “Why did you wake me up?” She snapped.

Kannon made a few hand signals. Rowan stared at him blankly. “I don’t speak sign language dummy.”

Kannon’s head lowered and he shrugged. He pointed toward her, put his hands folded under his chin like he was sleeping pointed to her again and then to her mouth. “I was…yelling in my sleep?” Rowan asked. Kannon nodded.

Rowan thought back on the dream. “What did I say?” She whispered. Kannon opened his mouth then closed it. He shrugged. Rowan rolled her eyes. “Useless.” She muttered under her breath.

Kannon backed off and walked toward the others. Rowan followed him. Everyone sat in a circle and the lantern shone in the middle of their circle. Liz was curled up against Oliver, her head resting on his shoulder. William leaned heavily against the wall. Rowan crossed over and sat in the corner across from Cedric but distant from everyone else.

Sunny snuck up behind her sitting in the shadows, her blue eyes dancing with a expression that Rowan couldn’t read. “And as soon as I woke, I was attacked by a group of raptors. It’s like they were…waiting for me. I think however we spawned here we were intentionally placed in certain places. So when I spawned I was attacked and I guess they were hoping that I’d be killed.” William was saying in a low voice.

Oliver’s brow furrowed. “And then what happened?” He asked. “Well obviously I ran. I don’t have any weapons. This “implant” is probably useless so yeah…I ran. Till I found this cave and collapsed in a pool of blood. I couldn’t move. The only food or water I had was that rain water falling from the cracks in the ceiling. One drop at a time.”

“And that’s how Liv found you?” Cedric asked. “Yeah after a while.” William said, sipping slowly from a birch wood cup full of water. “She’s pretty resourceful, that one.”

“Did you see anyone else on the island?” William shrugged. “I was in this cave most of the time…waiting to die. Although I did hear voices outside the cave once.” He replied. “Why didn’t you call out for help then?!” Cedric asked, sounding exasperated.

William’s face went dark. “Because…they weren’t trying to save people. They were looking for me. For us. For the Phoenixs. To bring us to “The Master” or someone. I’m almost certain that’s who’s in the dome.” A shiver ran down Rowan’s spine as Sunny’s tail lightly brushed her arm.

Sunny was humming under her breath. The same tune.

“So we need to get to the dome and stop them right?” Cedric asked. “Yeah…sounds like great plan even though there’s what, six of us?” William said slowly. Liv perked up. “Hey! I’m coming too!” She squeaked. Oliver shook his head. “You’re too young Liv. You could get hurt.”

“I’m eight! I’m old enough and if you don’t let me come then-then I’ll come anyway!” Liv exclaimed angrily.

Cedric chuckled and patted Oliver on the shoulder. “You’ve got a feisty little sister. You can come pip squeak, we’ll watch out for you.” He said. “But what about William? Someone has to stay with him.” Oliver said. Rowan frowned and looked at Sunny. Sunny narrowed her amber eyes thoughtfully.

William frowned as well. “What are you talking about? I’m coming. There’s no way I’m letting you kids go without my supervision.” Cedric rolled his eyes. “First off we don’t need your “supervision”, thank you very much. And also you’re injured! You could die! You’re not going.” Cedric said.

William narrowed his eyes at his grandson and sat up straighter, although wincing slightly. “Young man I am coming. I’m going to help y’all with this if it’s the last thing I do.”

“But I don’t want it to be the last thing you do!!! I don’t want you to die!! You’re part of my family for goodness sake!!” Cedric protested.

William opened his mouth to say something but Rowan interrupted them. “Just stop arguing. I already have a headache. If…William wants to risk his life and die to get out of this place then that’s his choice. No one else’s. I don’t care.” Rowan said. Cedric rose to his feet, ignoring Oliver’s pleading “please don’t fight” look.

“It’s not JUST his choice if there are people who care about him! And there ARE people who do. We’re not all heartless like you!” Cedric snapped. Rowan rose to her feet, although she was a head shorter than Cedric she was just as intimidating.

“I’m not heartless! I’m thinking on terms of our survival! If he dies on his own cause then it’s HIS fault. This was his decision. We’re in a life or death situation!! Deal with it.” Rowan hissed.

“But that doesn’t mean that we don’t use good reasoning to keep people from dying for us!!”

“Its his choice! If he dies he dies!”

“No one else has to die if we all work together!”

“Well then obviously you should back down and follow my plan and “work together” on it!!”

“Well if you’re plan includes people dying then I will not!”

“Guys just stop!” Elayne yelled at the top of her lungs. (Which is very loud considering how high Elayne can scream. She got in between them. “Y’all are fighting when we could be working. I just want to get home.” She whispered.

Rowan glared at her. “Yeah because you’re a spoiled little brat who’s been pampered her whole life. You just want to get back to your “special” life. Pathetic!” Rowan spat. A hurt look ran across Elayne’s face. Cedric stepped in front of her. “Hey! Don’t talk to my cousin like that!”

“I can talk to her however I want “Your majesty”.” Rowan hissed, her eyes flashing with rage.

She whirled around and stomped off out the cave entrance. “Rowan come back! It’s not safe at night!” Oliver called. There was no answer. “Kids.” William muttered under his breath.

They all turned and looked at Cedric. “What?!” He asked defensively.

“You’re the one who made her angry. Go deal with it.” Oliver said plainly. Cedric blinked at him. “What? Why?”

“Because the rest of them don’t want to be..squashed. And I’m injured.” William said. Cedric gritted his teeth. “Ugh fine! But if it doesn’t end well don’t blame me! I’m better at starting fights then defusing them!”

With that he marched off after Rowan. “Do you think he can do it?” Liv asked. Kannon snorted. “We’ll just have to see.” Oliver said.

I recently had to sacrifice my Terror Bird (whom of which was named Nando after well, the restaurant Nando’s) as to obtain the artifact of the strong. Nando got me to the artifact, and we proceeded to run back to the cave entrance, but around halfway there, Nando ran out of stamina. We proceeded to get swarmed by bats and yetis and wolves and such. Luckily, I had quite a few levels into speed, so I managed to outrun that horde. Because I was on mobile, as I got closer to the cave entrance, spawns seemed to stop presumably because most of the creatures had spawned deeper in the cave, which I had luckily outrun. I’m yet to tribute the Artifact (for blueprints and such because I plan to run dungeons), but hopefully I’ll receive a good reward for it. If not, Nando’s death was in vain.

Rest In Peace, Nando
