Went to tame one of these on Ragnarok and unfortunately it took me HOURS of searching in order to find a high level one. When I finally found a nice 135, I set up my taming trap, and accidentally put a foundation inside the ground so I couldn’t pick it up or attach walls. So, I went to go get materials to make a new foundation and just had to hope it was still in a good spot when I got back,

Thankfully, it was, and I led it into my trap. Tranqed it just fine, gave it some raw mutton. Life was good. And then a blizzard hit. My primitive fur gear and imported ferox were not enough to protect me from the elements, but my health drain was slow. I elected to stick it out.

Then a 150 yutyrannus spawned. Oh no. Although it pained me, I killed it so I could stay with my downed 135. In spite of my health being below half and still draining, life was good again, and I had no other problems. My yutyrannus was almost fully tamed; just a couple more feeds and he’d be mine!

And then. The server. It crashed. All my hours of effort and sacrifice, probably for nothing. I anxiously refreshed the server list, waiting for [US] Emoji Movie 2 to show up. At long last, it did, and I joined as fast as possible, and nervously waited for the game to load in.

To my utter dismay.... everything was actually fine. My yutyrannus’ taming bar had glitched to always read “put food in inventory to tame”, but progress was going up. The sun rose, the blizzard ended, and I guzzled cooked meat by the fistful to recover my health. I put my new pet Yutyler in a cryopod and headed home.

And then the server crashed AGAIN. I miraculously was still alive upon login, and was able to find my wyvern, but my beloved ferox was nowhere to be found and there was another hungry yutyrannus patrolling the thick woods. But eventually I found him, floating in the air, and went on my merry way to my home in the desert.

You’d think that after all that, I’d stop having problems, right? Wrong. Before I even got all the way home there was another crash. Everyone survived it. I finally got home. The next day, my friend’s entire base got wiped out when a giga spawned in it.

Nothing good has ever happened in that server ever since I tamed Yutyler.

Journey: Chapter 1

Forest sat on a cliff above his family’s cave and stared out over the Fjordur sunrise. He thought to himself that this would never get old. It has been almost a year since he and his friend defeated Jethezzar with the rune. He still was a juvenile, but he was treated more like an adult now.

And he has enjoyed almost every sunrise and sunset ever since. He was truly grateful for most things that happened to him after the Basilisk or Peeri told him he and four others would save Fjordur.

He sighed and looked to his left, not all things from that time were good and some things he was just unsure of. There next to him was the rune. He wasn’t sure how it was possible, Forest remembered how he got it back and began to think about it.

After the rune disappeared. He thought it destroyed itself. However, a couple of weeks later, the pegomastax that had previously tried to steal the rune from him came back with it in hand. He had said something about coming across it and argued with a very unfortunate Ichthy and thought it belonged to him. Forest was amazed and shocked by seeing it, it indeed looked like the rune from before.

To make sure that it was indeed his, he went to the Shadowmane tribe. Where Nyx explained that it was indeed the same one.

“There are a very small number of runes for the size of this place and the realms but the number is still growing, but still there are only around 200 right now though. Each having their own unique markings and color patterns. This has the same markings and patterns as the one before, it would be almost impossible for this to be another to be to resemble this even slightly, let alone identical.” Nyx said while studying the green glowing object.

“But how are you sure this is the one I had a few weeks ago?” Forest asked.

Nyx looked up at him and gave a curious look at him, “I wouldn’t dare forget what it looked like or what patterns it had. This is the one.”

Forest was amazed by all this, he wondered why the rune returned to him and what this could all mean for the five. He thanked Nyx for the help to identify if it was the same and went home with the rune.

But as time passed, his thoughts changed and he kept thinking about ways to get rid of it. He kept remembering the story of the shadowmane that went mad and that the rune killed him and his friends and fear filled him the worst scenarios. What if he was to become like that shadowmane? He had thought and attempted many different ways to get rid of it, but they all ended the same way. The rune returned to him every time. But he had a surefire plan this time that couldn’t fail.

“Forest, come down!! It’s time for dinner!” Forest looked down and saw his sister Ri out of the cave waving and yelling for him to come for dinner.

“Coming Ri!” Forest replied and quickly grabbed the rune and descended the cliff towards home.

Hi, this is PrimalApex. I have been waiting a while to do this story, mainly because the story I had in mind as a sequel in a Alternate Universe (so it’s not canon to it.) to a story called The Obelisk and contains spoilers to The Obelisk. So please read The Obelisk before reading this. I hope you enjoy reading!!

Journey: Prologue

On this quiet evening, an ichthyornis was flying over a small beach at the southern tip of Vennaland in Fjordur. Circling over, he saw something glowing on the beach shore that wasn’t natural. He swooped down and looked to find an active rune.

“Boy, is this my lucky night, First catching a salmon the size of an Ichthyosaur, then stealing a nice amount of kibble off a Pego, Now this!!!”. The Ichthyornis strutted over to the humming object and circled it.

”It is not a moment too soon, the honest thieves' market is at midnight and this will fetch a me something quite nice.” the bird smug and arrogant said to himself. He grabbed the rune and was about to fly away.

“Better not mess with that thing if I were you, mate.” The voice said. The bird turned and saw it was a familiar face, a pegomastax that he had stolen the kibble from.

The Ichthy dropped the rune and started to look in awe, “Awe come on, you chased me all day long without even knowing where I went, all for your stupid treats and you to comment on choice of items to take.” The bird's enjoyment left and turned into irritation rather quickly after seeing the pego.

The pego showing his irritation himself squalled out “No!… Well yeah, but no on the comment of choice of items. I am trying to warn you about the thing you’re about to fly away with.”

The bird looked at the rune and back at the pego. “Yeah, it’s a rune. Big deal, but not life-threatening. It not like-”

“Wrong,” the pego quickly said cutting in. “The rune is active and if it has a bond, it can be very dangerous. They are strongly possessive and are dangerous against those that don’t help the rune or the rune’s owner find each other.”.

The bird just laughed and hollered after hearing the pego say that. “That’s a hot one. A pego trying to tell an ichthy that a rune can be ‘dangerous’ if it has bonded with another animal beforehand.”

The bird said and in irritation strutted to the pego “Your mejoberry must’ve slid off your meat if you think I am gonna fall for that.” The bird remarked, “I mean come on, the only reason you want me to leave it alone is so you can take it back with the rest of your PRECIOUSES. And, I am not falling for it.”.

Before the pego could say anything, the bird quickly got in the air and went for the rune. He quickly grabbed it in his mouth and took off towards the mountains. The pego didn’t even get time to process what happened. He started to walk away when he heard an unearthly sound and an explosion after. He heard two thuds behind him, so he turned around to see smoke rising at the far edge of the beach.

As he got closer, he saw the rune and an object smoking that was a lot larger. It was the ichthy, but now roasted and smelled like cooked dodo. The feathers were almost as if it was plucked before being cooked. The pego looked over at the rune. It was glowing as if nothing had happened.

“I told you not to mess with that mate.” the pego said to the roasted meat. He grabbed it and saw something familiar about this particular rune.

“Awe come on, how am I the guy to find the exact rune I tried to steal from that young drake? Now how am I gonna find the little fella? It’s not like he’s a famous creature on Fjordur or anything. It's going to hard trying to find the little kid, especially a Drake, they are such shy creatures.” The pego said complaining to himself.

The Pego grabbed the rune and took off in the direction he came from to head for his hole to rest before setting on a journey that he thought could take months. However, it wouldn’t take as long as he had thought.

This story however is not going to follow this pegomastax and his journey, but it will follow the person he is looking for and his friends. As the story of The Five has not ended yet…

Tune in Wednesday for chapter one!!!!

I want to tell you about a lost friend I had in ark, the first ever yuty I tamed, his name was Danny he was high lvl and we did everything togethor he helped me conquer countless foes, bosses, you name it we could have done it, after that I got him some friends to help him out because he started having trouble beating tougher creatures, a few rexs and 4 more yutys, so then I beat the game the beta, and was now going for the alpha dinopithicus king, this was it, it was eithor ascend to a new ark, or fall harder than anybody has, who is to tell if the cards are in my favor but this was it, it was happening, THE final boss of the lost island, I brought all of my worthy companions and we went forth to battle, 13 ten Rex, VERY high lvled in the 800/900 range, all of my yutys, in the 600/800 range, and two megatheriums and a daeodon, I started the boss fight and my gut was second guessing this choice, but it was too late, it had already started, I rode Danny and we went straight to battle not to waste any time, and it was just chaos and madness, bombs fell and there were mini brawls happening everywhere you looked, it was going ok, until the 2nd yuty I tamed dropped dead, and my heart began to sink. This was it I might not make it, I rush in to roar giving the Rex’s more courage, until one of my Rex’s dropped, this one had a LOT of health 200,000 and a VERY good saddle, all of them had ALOT of health and good saddles so if one died, there would be more that came with the lost. We were more than halfway to beating the boss when all the sudden a bomb dropped on my yuty, dropping Danny’s health from 60,000 to 43.000 that is 1/3 of his health, then to Rex came in like freaking bodyguards and destroyed it, the boss was 2/3 to dieing, then 3 more Rex dropped, now I was questioning if this was actually worth it, my favourite dinosaurs were dropping dead, I knew eventually I would fall too, so I rush in to put dmg on the boss occasionally filling my Rex with courage, until I was targeted by the boss, I tried to get away because I was gonna die real quick, and yet again two Rex came then 3 more, then I see another yuty coming, then the boss jumped off the pillar towards me, so I ran but it smacked me dismounted me, terrified I try to find Danny, and I turn around to see him run straight into the boss fight, at the top of the screen I see Danny, has… died and I thought to myself now this is personnel all of the fear inside me for Danny just ran cold reading that text, and nothing but pure rage boiled inside me, nothing was gonna stop me from avenging my best friend, an amargesaurus was attacking me so I shot it point blank with my ascendant sniper, then I ran straight toward a clear area to unload on the boss, and another Rex died because it was singled out, and another yuty named fluffy, ran in and then… we won, I beat lost island, Danny helped me through all of the bosses, and had fallen at the very last boss, he is a true friend, he even though his life was on the line ran straight into battle, he sacrificed himself even though it wasn’t the most logical decision he did it for the best, I still think of him as a hero, his grave rests in a beautiful flower filled beach shore, with a solid stone with his name carved in it, with the others who have fallen there graves stand behind him, he is very special to me, Rest In Peace my dearest friend Danny… one up=A roar for danny. Thanks for whoever actually read this.

Furry, scurry and hurry

Beware of my bite

For it is quite a fright

I will cause you eternal pain

Because I will break your veins

Furry, scurry and hurry

I will cause your dinos a fright

Even worse if it’s at night

I will cause you a heart attack

If you dare retract

Don’t you try to dare

Give me a scare

Or else your blood is mine

And your soul is for ever in my mind

Was just in the the middle of taking a level 85 yuti on scorched earth, when he was at 96 percent and ran out of food. So I went to go Kill a paracer with my wyvern to get prime because I was right by red ob. As soon as I land to go kill the paracer, my game had an error and closed the application. Up this if you get kicked off ark all the time for no reason

I flew around the entire snow biome and every time I tried to knock one out they would die from mammoths. Finally I found one, tamed him up, got him up to level 61, levelled his stamina up to 1400, brought him back home which took forever. I decided to take him out for a test run and I ran into another Yuty which had a hord of carnos…. Long story short he died because his stamina was drained. Now I have to tame the one who killed mine. Up this to support me on my journey, rip Yuty.

Hello Everyone! Here's chapter one of my story, if you don't know who I am, I am the one who reads, review achatina story section to find stuff about me, but here it is.

Teeth, Talons, And Tails. The first three years of snowflakes life had been relatively normal, but It would all change when she was four years old.

She was coming home from a hunting session with friends, when she found her mother waiting for her. "Mother? Are you alright?" Snowflake asked her mother, who seemed.. angry? Depressed? She could not tell, "They came.." her mother replied, "And they took your father.." snowflake was distraught, who wouldt attack a Yutyrannus? "Who came?!" "Who took my father?!" Snowflake questioned, " I couldn't tell who or what it was, but it was small and there were many of them

Small? Humans maybe? Direwolfs? No.. direwolfs lived on the other side of the great crater.. humans... probably? They did use weapons to take other creatures.. Her mind was spiraling into confusion.

"Mother, what did they smell like?" She asked, "Hmm it smelled like.. human? Do you think they took your father?" Her mother asked. "I think so."

They never found iceberg, snowflakes father was dubbed missing, and Snowflake vowed to destroy every human settlement in the tundra, she would help her mother, and she would never lose someone to humans ever again.

SO, that was chapter one! Hope you liked it, I'll be writing more on weekends but Victoria day isnthus weekend so maybe not.

Fallen world

Chapter one

An old and bulky triceratops walked through the rock-spire forest, the wind blowing against his face, carrying dust with it and limiting his vision. He staggered towards a cliff edge and looked down at the wasteland. A huge, barren expanse littered with tall rock spires and a long river cutting between them. The trike’s name was longhorn, and he was a scavenger. Scavengers were dinosaurs that lived in the rock-spire forest, struggling to find food to survive. Scavengers gathered materials from the rock-spire trees and sold them. It was a dangerous business, as the forest was littered with drops and other obstacles, every month at least four dinosaurs would die working. The rock spire forest was a huge area on the Acarb continent, known for its dangerous heat in certain areas. Longhorn carried on walking, dragging a chunk of meat behind him, eventually, he found who he was looking for...

~§~

An orange yutyrannus knelt down in front of a rock spire, chiselling away chunks of it using a small tool between his teeth.

“I’ve got some food for you” Longhorn said as he walked up to the Yuty.

“Thanks” he replied, picking up the meat and gulping it down. “This job drives me mental, I have to use my teeth instead of my arms. My arms are too short”

“Hey, at least you’re not in my situation, I’ve got no arms!” Longhorn joked.

“Yeah I guess” then, they were interrupted by a voice.

“Longhorn! Ember Claw, I need to talk to you!”
