In on of the many caves that littered the cliffs and mountains of the mysterious beyond where the flyer trio.
Pterano stood at the edge in the sun with his eyes closed seemingly just basking or meditating as the wind blew past him.
Rinkus sat the the edge of the shade just looking out at the landscape and sky.
Sierra was in the cave muttering to himseld about why he and Rinkus had agreed to stick with Pterano again.

Meanwhile, two long-tailed flyers, a tan one named Jared and a green one named Luke were flying along, when Suddenly, Jared saw a dark orange crested flyer and pink flyer sitting near a cave below that was the same kind as he and Luke were.

"Hey Luke," said Jared, I see some flyers down there. There's even a pink one that's the same kind as us. Let's go meet them.

So, they both headed down to the cave. Jared was eager to meet the pink flyer, but a little shy and nervous, too. He didn't know what the pink flyer would be like, or if it would even like him and Luke or not. Would it be nice, inviting and friendly? or would it be nasty and mean? Jared was about to find out.

As Luke and Jared landed, Rinkus looked and noticed the tan and green long-tailed flyers. He started walking toward them.

Luke stretched and eyed the pink flyer walking towards him and Jared. He nudged his friend and whispered "Who are they? I haven't seen them around before." As the pink flyer reached them, Luke stuck out his claw. "Hi" he said uncertainly.

Jared got nervous and uncertain, he had never seen the flyers before, either.

He waved one claw while holding his tail with the other. "H-hi" he said to the pink flyer.

"Hello there, haven't seen any others of my kind for s while" Rinkus said shaking Luke's claw. Pterano opened one eye to look at the newcomers while Sierra just glared at the from inside the cave.

(One of the main rules of RP is that you don't control another's character like when you said Rinkus walked up to them, we all make mistakes and learn so don't worry too much  :D )

"Really? You haven't?" said Jared. He was a little surprised that he and Luke were the first of the pink flyers kind that he had seen in a while.

Then, Jared smiled with a toothy grin on his beak and said, "Well, my name is Jared and this is my friend Luke."

"I'm very happy and pleased to meet you. Now you'll have two fellow long tailed flyers here to keep you company."

"That is, if you'll let us stay with you. Luke and I are very friendly, we get along great, and we really won't be any trouble to you at all.  We're new here and don't have a place to live yet." Jared frowned.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted. That flight took it out of me." Casting a sleepy gaze around the cave, he didn't think he had ever seen such an odd trio. Under the dark glare of Sierra, Luke gulped and and pointed at him. "But do you think he'd mind us staying?" he asked Rinkus.

Post by: Jrd89 on November 30, 2010, 03:55:36 AM
Just a reminder bushwacked, we don't know Rinkus, Sierra, or Pterano's names yet. But it's okay to tell which character you're referring to by their name. Just don't "speak out" their names just yet until we find out what their names are. You're doing great.   :)  returning to the story, now...

*Jared looked at Sierra glaring at him and Luke from the cave that Luke was pointing at. He too gulped, got a little scared, started shaking and fidgeted with his tail*

Rinkus looked at Pterano. "What do ya say Pterano, can they stay?" he asked the other flyer. Pterano now turned to watch Luke and Jared.

"I don't see why not, they seem friendly enough" he said with a smile. "My name is Pterano by the way"

"And I'm Rinkus" the pink flyer said also smiling and then turned to watch Sierra. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" he asked with a hint of annoyance.

Sierra just grunted.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 01, 2010, 12:37:16 AM
Jared waved at Rinkus and Pterano with a smile on his beak.

"Hi Rinkus, hello Pterano, i'm very happy to meet you. Thanks for letting us stay.
My wings are all tired out and so are Lukes from our long flight here. we're both exhausted".

Then, Jared turned and looked at Sierra in the cave, angrily staring at him and Luke.  Then he turned back to Rinkus and Pterano.
"*Gulp*. "Why is he so angry at as for? We didn't do anything wrong." said Jared nervously.

Luke sidled up to the grey flyer at the back of the cave. The atmosphere was thick with menace. Extending a trembling wing, he grinned nervously. "Hello."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on December 01, 2010, 06:52:47 PM
Sierra just glared at Luke some more and then glared at Luke's hand. "Just stay out-of my way" he said swatting the hand away.

"Don't mind Sierra, he's always like that" Pterano said.

"Yeah he's a good guy when ya get to know him, well sorta" Rinkus said.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on December 01, 2010, 07:50:18 PM
Luke smiled with appreciation at Rinkus and Pterano. "Well, thanks for letting us stay. Me and Jared are really grateful."
He yawned and sat down. "So, what are you guys doing out here?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 04, 2010, 02:43:04 PM
Jared sat down and leaned against a rock that was near Rinkus to rest. He really loved his new pink long tailed friend.

The rock felt cold and hard, but it would have to do for now. Jared held the tip of his tail in his right claw. "Yeah. What are you doing here?  What should Luke and I get used to here? he asked curiously.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on December 04, 2010, 02:56:05 PM
"Well other than the basic normalities of living were waiting so to speak" Pterano said.

"Yeah but while we're out here we're just resting right now" Rinkus said. "Wha' are you doing out here?" he then asked them.

(The wha' is part of Rinkus' accent if I remember correctly)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on December 04, 2010, 03:47:40 PM
"Same as you, I suppose" Luke replied, idly playing with his tail. "We've been looking for food, shelter. It's not easy, I can tell you. I've been so tired, Jared's had to do most of the work."
He looked curiously at Rinkus. "That's an interesting accent you've got."

Post by: Jrd89 on December 05, 2010, 09:46:01 PM
*Guys, a side note, Today (December 5th) is "The Stone Of Cold Fire's 10th anniversary! hooray! :birthday  :celebrate  10 years of the flyer trio! *

Jared thought Rinkus's accent was interesting, too. He agreed with Luke and nodded his head.

Post by: Redtooth101 on December 05, 2010, 11:01:29 PM
Rinkus smiled. "You really think so? Thanks" he said.

"Well it would seem you two are going through the average everyday life of the Mysterious Beyond" Pterano said to them. "Quite in inhospitable place"

"So what, we been out here since we were hatch-lings, at least it helps some of us to toughen up" Sierra said.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on December 06, 2010, 10:30:57 AM
"Hey," Luke said indignantly, attempting to flex his muscles, "We can take care of ourselves, can't we Jared?"

*Thanks for the encouragement, FlipperBoidSkua  :) *
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 06, 2010, 12:08:36 PM
"Yes, we can." said Jared. "And we have this cave for shelter and a place to sleep."

Then, Jared went into the cave.... and noticed that the floor had soft leaves on the bottom and he also noticed 3 soft leaf beds.... with soft pillows, too.

"Oooooh.. hey look at these beds. They look very soft and comfy. I wonder who made them?" said Jared, scratching his head curiously.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 14, 2010, 03:37:58 AM
*Uh-oh nobody's posted in 8 days?  :unsure:  time for an update.  :yes *

Jared liked the beds and wished he had one of his own to sleep in. They looked so soft and comfortable.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on December 14, 2010, 04:48:29 AM
*Yeah, sorry, I was waiting for Redtooth101 to post - I'll reply to keep this bumped*

Luke joined Jared and pressed down into the bed. His friend was right - his claw sank comfortably into the leaves. "Ahem," he cleared his throat nervously and looked longingly at the bed, "Any chance whoever made these could make some for me and Jared?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on December 14, 2010, 07:00:56 PM
(Sorry my email didn't tell me anything came in)

"Take mine, not like I need it" Sierra said but not in an all too pleasant manner.

"Leaves are hard to find ou' here, not sure I can make another anytime soon" Rinkus said to them shrugging.

"In the meantime I'm sure you two could fit in a bed made for a flyer of Sierra's size" Pterano told them.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 15, 2010, 01:06:30 AM
note to bushwacked: Uh-oh, You got Sierra's color wrong earlier. Sierra isn't grey.
here are the flyer colors ;) :
Sierra is dark brown, i'm light tan, (we know our pal Rinkus by heart :D ), you're green, and Pterano is dark orange.

to Redtooth101: :yes *I checked a "Very Important Creature" youtube video just to check and study it. You're right. Rinkus is the smallest of the flyer trio, and has the smallest wing span. He is much smaller than Sierra. So, Yeah, Luke and I could fit in Sierra's bed :yes *

Jared thought to himself, Rinkus was right, there weren't many leaves out where they were. All he could see were caves, rocky cliffs, and mountains. He really loved that big, comfy leaf bed.

Jared knew he could easily fit along with Luke int Sierra's old bed. It was big enough.

He also knew that even though Rinkus couldn't make him and Luke their own separate beds quite yet, Rinkus was still being kind, considerate and thoughtful.

After looking and studying the size of the bed, Jared turned to Pterano.

"You're right, Pterano. I think Luke and I can fit into this bed." said the light tan flyer.

"We'll be able to sleep very good and comfortable tonight. It may be a bit of a tight fit, but it will do fine for now. It sure beats sleeping on a cold hard rock or on the ground."

Then he looked at Rinkus and said.

"And Rinkus, Don't worry. I'm sure there'll eventually be a day you'll be able to find some leaves and make two beds for me and Luke. But Sierra's old bed will be fine for now.

It's ok, buddy. You were thinking of us, and after all, it's the thought that counts." said Jared nodding at Rinkus

Post by: bushwacked on December 15, 2010, 02:21:33 PM
* To Jrd98 - Wow, you're right, I always thought he was grey, sorry  :oops

"Thanks guys," Luke said, looking gratefully at the three flyers, "I can't tell you how much this means to us." He sat down on Sierra's bed and sighed contentedly, scatching the end of his beak.
"In the morning, I'll make it up to you. You know, after I've had a couple of naps."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on December 16, 2010, 02:12:07 AM
"Your welcome, it's the least we could do" Rinkus said smiling with the kindhearted nature he once has as a hatchling.

"Yes it's just hospitality, who are we to shun those in need. And after all, if you have enough to share why bother keeping it for yourself" Pterano said to them wih a friendly smile.

"Whatever" was Sierra's simply response not even bothering to look at the other flyers.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on December 27, 2010, 04:02:04 AM
*guys, I put out a thread on the fanart and fanfiction thread if anyone was interested in drawing a scene from the story. I'm very eager to see what Luke, me, and Rinkus look like together*

Jared nodded his head. He couldn't agree more with Pterano's statement

"Ahhh, very well put, Pterano" Said Jared. "Well, i'm gonna take a nap now, I need to rest my sore, tired wings. Ohhh, is this bed comfy." And with that, Jared got into Sierra's bed, and fell asleep.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on December 27, 2010, 07:14:22 AM
"I hope you guys don't mind", Luke said, "but I'm going to have to call it a night too. I'll see you guys in the morning." He nodded a final thanks at the three flyers, then lay down next to Jared. He sank into the rustling leaves, and was asleep in a few moments.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on December 29, 2010, 11:48:55 PM
"That's if you live until morning" Sierra said and chuckled rather evilly but then Pterano gave him a light hid on the head.

"How many times must I tell you that this behavior is simply unacceptable" Pterano scolded Sierra who glared at him. Rinkus just sighed and went and sat in his bed not quite sleeping yet.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on January 04, 2011, 01:07:11 PM
Luke was woken by a sharp, piercing beam of light. He groaned and opened his eyes slightly. The damp night had turned into a bright, clear day and sunlight spilled onto the cave floor.
 Luke hissed and hid his face under his wing. He never liked days like this - it was too hard to take naps in. When his eyes had grown accustomed to the light, he turned to his friend and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey Jared, should we get better acquainted with our new friends?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 07, 2011, 12:22:11 AM
*Sorry for the delay, guys. I had no internet connection Mon-Wed, my parents forgot to pay the phone bill. But they were able to pay the bill today and now I got the internet again*


Jared woke up turned to Luke and said sleepily. "Yeah, we should get more acquainted and get to know them better. Let's go talk to them.

Rinkus is really nice. He cares about us, he's a long-tailed flyer just like us and he's our pal, too. Pterano is very wise, generous, and caring, too. He wouldn't hurt us one bit. I'm not sure about Sierra, though. He scares me."

Jared wings shook and shuddered as he thought about Sierra. He was worried that Sierra might do something nasty or try to hurt him. But then, Jared also knew that Pterano and Rinkus would be right there for him if Sierra went and did such a thing.

Jared felt a little better after that thought, and he wasn't so nervous as he was before. He was still scared of Sierra, though.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on January 07, 2011, 07:59:11 PM
With a yawn Pterano woke up, getting up from the bed a stretched and then looked at Luke and Jared. "Good morning you two, had a pleasant sleep I hope" he said the them. His talking stirred Rinkus who just moved a bit but didn't wake up and didn't seem to effect Sierra who sat leaning against the side of the cave apparently sleeping.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on January 07, 2011, 08:55:27 PM
"Very pleasant, thanks" Luke agreed. He glanced at the sleeping Rinkus and Sierra, and smiled. "If the life you three lead is half as relaxing as it looks now, I might just stick around."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 11, 2011, 01:44:06 AM
Jared agreed with what Luke said. It was quiet and relaxing in the cave. He had slept so comfy and well the night before and his wings felt wonderful again. He loved living with Pterano in the cave. He also knew Pterano cared about him and Luke and would watch out for them if there was any trouble.

"I want to stay with you too, Pterano. It's calm, quiet and relaxing here in this cave. I feel very safe with you around, and you're the wisest and smartest flyer of the five of us." said Jared.

"As for our fellow long-tailed flyer Rinkus, he isn't any trouble at all. Luke and I get along fine with him, and he's nice and friendly to us, too. It's Sierra who i'm afraid of. I don't trust him, I think he hates me, and I don't know why."

"And I'm afraid he'll come over and hit me, or maybe even tear my tail off!" said Jared, grasping his tail with one hand, playing with the tip of it with the other with his legs shaking.

"I know you'll be here to protect us if Sierra threatens to do something mean to me or Luke, w-w-won't you, Pterano?  I'm just such a scaredy flyer." said Jared nervously as he got close to the dark orange flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 16, 2011, 02:41:48 AM
*Redtooth, you go ahead and post next. I want to go gently nudge Rinkus awake next, but if you wanted Pterano to comfort me on my fear of Sierra, then you go ahead and write what you wanted to put in first*
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on January 16, 2011, 03:07:33 AM
"Don't you worry about Sierra, he's practically harmless provided you don't do something foolish" Pterano said and then looked at Rinkus. "Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt, although it is quite rude to wake someone up"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 16, 2011, 03:16:43 AM
Jared then stopped and thought that Rinkus might get annoyed with him if he woke him up.

"Welll... now that I think about it,  I'll take your advice. I'll let my pink pal sleep. He needs his rest."

"You do give good advice, Pterano. You sound very wise. I trust you." said Jared, being fully honest with every word.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on January 16, 2011, 05:25:31 PM
Luke nodded, studying Pterano's confident posture. "I haven't known you very long, but I can tell you're a good leader. Rinkus and Sierra seem to respect you, anyway."
He put a claw to his beak questioningly. "How do you keep Sierra in check? He looks a lot stronger than you - no offense intended."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 20, 2011, 02:14:39 AM
*New Character Request* I got a message from "Noname". He wants to add 2 flyers to the story, a male and a female. I told him that would be ok with me, even though I don't know when in the story that these flyers are going to come in. I think 7 flyers in 1 cave is too many, but maybe Noname's flyers live somewhere else. I do think Noname's flyers would make the story a little more interesting, though. :yes

Now, continuing the story:


"Yeah. How do you let Sierra know that you're the most powerful? Please tell us, Pterano. It'll help me relax and feel better and i'll feel even safer with you." said Jared.

"I know with the big muscles and strength Sierra has, he'd knock me unconscious with just one punch." shuddered Jared.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 26, 2011, 03:41:24 AM
*It's been 6 days* I think it's time for an update. Redtooth, you have the next part. ;)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on January 26, 2011, 05:52:30 PM
Pterano chuckled. "Well the truth is in some way's Sierra's quite harmless, once you don't upset him that is. And as for how I stay leader, well that's a long story"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 27, 2011, 01:12:35 AM
Jared was relieved. "Ok then, i'll do my best not to make Sierra upset. And it's ok, you don't have to explain why you're the leader. I already could tell that you looked like a leader when I met you yesterday". Jared pointed out.

"You're smart, clever, and very brave, too."  "I'm very happy to be living with such an outstanding flyer such as you, Pterano". Jared nodded happily. I like living here with you, Rinkus and Sierra already". "Although I still admit... I am a nervous and shy flyer,

Then, Jared walked back away from Pterano and more near Luke and just sat down and leaned back against the cave wall.

 and.. well...I'm lazy like Luke. I totally let myself go", "Sometimes I like to lay back, and relax.

Then Jared sighed, pat his big, fat chubby belly, and ripped a loud, stinky fart.

Then, he smiled and turned to his friend Luke with the biggest grin on his beak you ever saw. Jared knew what he just did.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on January 27, 2011, 03:13:10 AM
Luke covered his beak with a claw. "Again, Jared?! I thought you promised you wouldn't!" he protested.
With his other claw, he waved an apology to the others. "Jared looks harmless but, as you can smell, sometimes he can be very dangerous," Luke said, his voice still muffled. Suddenly, he also let loose a fart. Turning red, he raised his voice in an attempt to cover it up.
"So, what's the plan for today? I'll do what I can to help - as long as it doesn't involve heavy lifting."

*Jared, when does Noname want to add his characters? The more the merrier.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 27, 2011, 03:47:47 AM
"I'm sorry for what I just did, Pterano. It was an accident. It happens sometimes,  but i'll make sure it won't happen again."

I will help you just the same as Luke will. And if there's a time when you need anything moved or lifted..I can help you there, I'm a little stronger than Luke. as long as it isn't too much to handle, that is."

"What is today's plan, Pterano?" asked Jared, curiously. "I'm eager to know, too."

*Redtooth101: are Rinkus or Sierra awake yet? As far as I know, they're still asleep. I don't think the fart would've been loud enough to wake them up. BTW, sorry for the fart joke if you thought it was sick. I figured I'd put just one in the story for fun, that's all.*
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on January 27, 2011, 11:52:47 PM
Pterano scowled a little and waved the just in front of him. "Yes well if you must engage is such activities please to them in open air" he said. "And as for work, well as of yet we have no planned routine"

Rinkus sniffed the air in his sleep and then got up covering his beak with his hands. "Aye, wha' is that smell? Smells like sharptooth kill" he said looking around.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 28, 2011, 02:23:36 AM
*Jared quickly hid his head underneath his wings, his face flushed a deep red with embarrassment*

"I-I-I'm sorry. I farted. It was an accident. I'll never do it again. I'm sorry Rinkus." said Jared, with his head still buried underneath his wings.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on January 28, 2011, 03:19:57 AM
Seeing an opportunity to shift some of the blame from himself, Luke tutted. "It's okay, Jared," he grinned, "You can't help it."
He glanced at the motionless brown flyer. "At least Sierra didn't wake up. I've got a feeling he wouldn't like having his sleep disturbed."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on January 28, 2011, 03:31:54 AM
Jared uncovered one wing off his head.

"No, he wouldn't, i'm sure" said Jared.

"But, remember to keep quiet so you don't wake him up, because if you do, Sierra will get mad and annoyed with us, and believe me, you don't want that to happen." Jared warned.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on February 07, 2011, 01:44:13 PM
Jared uncovered his other wing off his head

"I'm glad Sierra didn't hear me. You're right Luke, I can't help farting, I just go when I have to do it. I'm such a stinky flyer." said Jared with a chuckle.

*Hey redtooth & bushwacked I'm ready to do something. Maybe we could go fly somewhere? I want to do something else then just sit in the cave, that's all.*
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on February 07, 2011, 02:24:06 PM
Luke nodded. "Well, you were lucky this time." He walked to the entrance of the cave. A cool breeze blew against him. "It's not so bright outside anymore. Do you want to go flying, Jared? Maybe we can think of someway to repay these three for their hospitality." He gestured to the trio. "You guys can come too, if you want."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on February 07, 2011, 02:51:36 PM
"Sure, Luke. I'll come along with you. Let's go flying!" said Jared happily. Then he turned to the trio.

"Rinkus, Pterano, would either one of you like to come, too?" Jared asked
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on February 08, 2011, 10:29:40 PM
(So so so so sorry! Things are hectic right now)

Pterano smiled and walked to the caves entrance. "Why of course, a leisurely flight is always good for the mind" he said as Rinkus got up, stretched and yawned.

"Well you already woke me up so might as well" he said.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on February 09, 2011, 04:28:02 AM
*Redtooth, one thing before Bushwacked or I go on... I'd personally like to fly with just Luke, Pterano, and Rinkus, and let Sierra stay in the cave asleep. (maybe he'll catch up with us after he wakes up? I'll let you decide. he's yours to control.)

I have an idea: While the four of us go on our flight, maybe Pterano and Rinkus could help Luke and I get familiar with the area. They could show us around a little, and tell us about a few neat places to go and see. What do you think?
You could be really creative there.  :)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on February 13, 2011, 03:31:50 PM
Rinkus walked up to Pterano who then looked at Jared. "Would you like the honors of first flight?" he asked.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Jared smiled and was so happy and excited with Pterano's statement.

"Really, Pterano, you'll let ME fly first? I'd LOVE to!"  Jared was so happy, he jumped off the edge of the cave into the air. Then he spread his wings out, started flapping, and decided to play around and fly in a few fast circles and figure 8's for fun.

"WHEEE!!! WAHOOO!!" he happily cried out. Then, he flew back up to cave level, flapping and hovering in place.

"I just love doing fun little flying tricks with myself sometimes.....  Ok guys, let's go." Jared said eagerly with a smile.

Luke smiled at Jared enjoying himself, then turned to Rinkus and Pterano. "Well, see you in the air," he said. Then he stepped off the edge and spread his wings. Feeling the familiar gust of wind pushing him up, he glided up to join Jared. "It'll be fun flying with them," he nodded.

Jared agreed. "Yeah. It'll be lots of fun." he said smiling back at Luke. "I wonder where we'll go first?"

*Just a question guys, should I stop farting in the story? Or should I do it again later? I think if I do it again, it would make Pterano mad at me (but then again, we're outside now). He just said not to do it in the cave anymore.

The reason why i'm saying this is I don't want any really disgusted readers, here either. This is supposed to be a fun story about living with the flyer trio.

We've got...... a rhamphorhynchus trio who are great friends who are nice, kind, fun-loving and care about each other, a very brave and wise pteranodon, and a tough, rough, cearadactylus *

Let's keep having a good story here. I love it so far.  :D  

I'm just afraid i'll make it too gross with any more *fart* stuff, that's all. What do you think? Should the farting stop? I just though it would help bring out my lazy side and that it'd be funny, too. But, a joke isn't funny when it's used over and over again.

In short... maybe the farting should stop. But then again I could keep the farting in the story (in a future part) to bring out my lazy rhamphorhynchus self, and bushwacked's, too.

(Do what you want man)

Pterano and Rinkus spread their wings and took off, catching up with Luke and Jared. "Ya act like it's your first time flying" Rinkus said with a chuckle.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on February 23, 2011, 04:29:05 AM
Jared smiled back. "Well Rinkus, it's my first time flying with you... so you're right!"

"You guys seem a lot nicer than the last flyers we stayed with", Luke explained. He looked around at the mountains surrounding them. "So, what's there to do around here? You three must have somewhere to relax when you're not... doing whatever it is you do."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on February 25, 2011, 10:23:20 PM
"In the mysterious beyond there are endless possibilities" Pterano said.

"Yes, we just make it up as we go, just fly really" Rinkus added.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on February 26, 2011, 02:16:56 AM
*Jared wanted to fly beside Rinkus now, so he slowed down a little, adjusted his position, moved alongside Rinkus, and began flapping at normal speed again*

"Yes, Pterano. Anything could happen. You never know. The mysterious beyond is a very unpredictable place filled with many surprises."

"I wonder what we'll find first?" said Jared, thinking to himself as to what it would be. Then he turned to Luke.

"Remember to be careful Luke, and please stay with Pterano and Rinkus for your own safety, no matter what." Jared carefully warned. "I know I will."
 
"You don't want to get lost in the mysterious beyond all by yourself, do you? I sure don't." he said, a little scared at the thought.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on February 28, 2011, 11:45:34 AM
After listening to Jared, Luke looked down. The ground was covered in fog, and every now and then an unseen creature shrieked. He shivered. "It is pretty spooky down there. At least Pterano looks like he knows his way around here - whatever's down in that mist, I don't think it would help us if we got lost."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 03, 2011, 03:45:11 AM
"Who knows what's down there.... There may be... *GULP* sh-sh-sh-sharpteeth. If either one of us were to get lost down there in the mists.. we wouldn't be able to see where we're going....and we could be low enough for a sharptooth to.. TO.. *GULP!*   EAT ONE OF US!!!"

*Jared shivered and was terrified. Then, he tried to relax.*

"But.. yeah.. when it comes to flying in new places we don't know, it's good for Pterano to stay out in front... He's the bravest of us all, and I agree. I also think he knows the way around here.

So, as long as Pterano stays in the lead, and you and I remember to stay close, we'll be ok. And its just as good to stay close to Rinkus. He's our friend, too."

*then, he turned to Rinkus who was just to the left of him*

"You wouldn't let anything terrible happen to a fellow long-tailed flyer... w-w-would you, Rinkus?" asked Jared, a little uncertain of himself.  

"Because I really care about you. You've been such a great friend to me and Luke so far. I like being with you, you're fun to live with, and i'd hate to have anything bad happen to you, buddy. You mean a lot to me." said Jared with a very caring tone in his voice.

He smiled warmly at his pink friend...
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 06, 2011, 03:28:28 AM
Redtooth: Just a suggestion... go ahead and have Rinkus give a warm, kind reply back to me about the things I just told to him in my last post..

(after all, I told him how good of a friend he's been to me as well as Luke..)  :D

And go ahead and have Pterano tell us about the first place we could go see... (I'm sure Pterano will think of it soon....he's the wisest...)

I also think Pterano knows his way around the mysterious beyond the best, too.  :yes
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on March 06, 2011, 10:38:25 AM
Rinkus paused for a few seconds letting what Jared said sink in. "Er, thank's mate" he said as a smile slowly came to his face. "I think we'll get along just fine, all three of us long-tails"

Pterano chuckled as he looked down at the fog. "Come now, follow me and when I say follow I mean exactly unless you want to get lost" he said as he began to descend.

*Hey bushwacked, Redtooth... I have wonderful message to tell you..

Today, (March 14th) I was at a Barnes & Noble and found a 2-pack dvd of "The Secret of Saurus Rock" and.. "THE STONE OF COLD FIRE!"  :D

When I get my car to myself *after the Florida plates get put on it..the Michigan plates just expired last December and my Dad doesn't want me to get into trouble.. right now, he's just driving it to where he works and back... and JUST  that, right now*

Yep. I found LBT VII on Dvd today...
YES!! NOW I got a chance to take home my funny pink friend Rinkus, and Pterano on DVD!... I haven't seen "The Stone of Cold Fire" in full since I last saw it on t.v. in December 2003... and now I have a chance to own the movie on dvd..

Since then, i've had to rely on clips and youtube videos...

What a great day it was for me today...

My mom says it's ok, and it's no problem with her... she was actually a little happy about it, too.

I just gotta keep it a secret and NOT let my little sister OR ESPECIALLY my dad find out about it...I'll never let them find out, either...

When I go back and buy it on either Thursday or Friday, I'm going to hide it in one of my dresser drawers where I also keep my drawing stuff (and my folder which has got my drawings in it...including a few drawings of Rinkus and a few of Pterano, too!!)

And Right now in my family...ONLY my mom knows about me liking Rinkus and "LBT 7"  ;) and she likes my drawings...

I'll NEVER tell my 'sis or dad or have them find out, either... ;)

**Just a message, guys.. I figured you'd like to hear that.... I'm so happy   :DD **

now, back to the story.  

Jared flew closer to Pterano and got behind him..

"Ok, Pterano. I'm right behind you." said Jared, as he followed close behind the orange flyer..

Then, he warned Luke and Rinkus..

"Come on, guys... follow Pterano closely....and whatever you do, don't get lost in the fog!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on March 14, 2011, 03:38:14 AM
*Good for you, Jared. Now you can enjoy it whenever you want  :yes

Gulping, Luke sped up and slotted himself between Rinkus and Jared. Below them, the mist seemed to be rising. A few whisps brushed against Luke's foot. "Hey Pterano," he called out, "Are we there yet? I can't shake the feeling that something's following us..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 16, 2011, 07:58:51 PM
*You don't have to worry any more, bushwacked and redtooth.. because I GOT "COLD FIRE" TODAY! .. *

My mom was able to get me back to Barnes & Noble today, a little earlier than I expected...!!

I was almost shaking I was so happy when I bought it!  :DD

Now I have "Cold Fire" as well as "Saurus Rock" on DVD!!! I can watch Rinkus & Pterano anytime I want to now!! I haven't seen "The Stone Of Cold Fire" since I last saw it on t.v. in 2003.. and now I OWN the movie!!!!!

(I got it hiding in one of my dresser drawers so my sister or dad won't find or see it!!  :p  

(Hopefully, I will be able to watch it here at the condo if there's a time when my mom, dad, and sister go away somewhere and do something else)

Ohhh man! I feel so happy right now!!

*****I saw that highsoar's dinosona is a quetzalcoatlus... The BIGGEST pterosaur of all... So if she does join the story... we'd have one giant flyer to deal with..

I don't think highsoar could fit in the cave with us.. there probably wouldn't be enough room for a GIANT quetzalcoatlus to live in a cave with 3 rhamphorhynchuses, a pteranodon, and a cearadactylus.... highsoar would be way too big.

But, she's welcome to join anytime if she wants to. (She hasn't replied back yet on if she wants to be in the story or not) *****

"There's always somethin' followin' you out here" Sierra said appearing out of nowhere behind the group. Pterano and Rinkus where visibly startled, with Rinkus pausing long enough to nearly fall out of the air but thankfully he began flapping again before that happened.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 16, 2011, 11:42:47 PM
Jared was startled and jumped when he heard Sierra's voice behind him.

"AHH!...Sierra found us!" he said.

Jared was scared, and flapped harder, trying to stay away from Sierra. Pterano was right in front of him, and Rinkus and Luke were very close by.

"I'm sorry, guys. I still don't trust him... I think he hates having me and Luke around. I'm afraid he'll hurt me or .*GULP!!* tear my tail off! and I don't want that to happen...

I haven't even done anything wrong to Sierra. I'm good and friendly to be with."

But then, a thought came over him... he looked over at Luke and told him...

"But... I did appreciate how Sierra gave us his bed to sleep in temporarily, Luke. It was nice of him to do that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had that nice, extra-soft, warm, leaf bed to sleep in... we would've had to sleep on the ground, instead.

Maybe Sierra is good for a few things after all." said Jared.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on March 18, 2011, 07:20:43 PM
"You could be right," Luke nodded, "He's probably got some good in him, deep down. Maybe."
He slowed his flying slightly and spoke nervously; "Hey Sierra, how long have you been following us? Looks like you have quite the talent for sneaking up on people."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 20, 2011, 02:04:13 AM
***Jared was still scared of Sierra.. he couldn't believe how Sierra had snuck up right behind him and his friends out of nowhere... his heart started to pound...***

*gulp* "Y-y-yeah.. how long HAVE you been behind us... you were very sneaky...I-I-I d-d-don't know how you caught up to us. I didn't e-e-even h-h-hear you, Sierra. Luke's right, y-y-you're v-v-very sneaky."

Jared nervously said, sticking right behind Pterano and close to Rinkus. He still didn't trust Sierra and was still very afraid of him. Jared also didn't like the rough, mean attitude Sierra had been giving towards him and Luke.

Jared whispered very softly to Rinkus.. "ohhhhh...Rinkus, I'm still scared of Sierra.. I just know he's gonna hurt me... I think he hates me... he looks very mean....and so far, he's been rough and unfriendly to me and Luke .....I don't trust him....Can you help me get rid of my fear?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on March 20, 2011, 02:30:57 AM
Sierra snorted. "Whelps, won't last long with that kinda attitude" he said and then narrowed his eyes at Luke.

"Can't help ya there mate, just block him out and trust us when we say he won't harm a scale on ya" Rinkus said with a smile.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on March 20, 2011, 02:54:47 AM
"Ok, Rinkus, i'll just ignore Sierra. I really trust you and Pterano. I feel a little better now." said Jared, smiling back at Rinkus.

Then, his focus returned to where Pterano was going to take them to see first that day. He wondered if they were getting close.

"Pterano, are we getting close to our first stop?" asked Jared.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on April 02, 2011, 04:37:11 AM
"Yeah, Pterano, how far? Even with Sierra with us, I still don't think moving around here for long is a good idea." Luke glanced down and shivered again. To him, the mist curling around below them looked like hands, ready to grab him by the foot and pull him down. Gulping, he looked back up and said shakily, "Not that I'm scared or anything."

"We're just about...here!" Pterano said as he and Rinkus stopped as soon as possible and landed, Sierra on the other hand kept flying and was soon gone in the mist.

"Careful, it's life or death" Rinkus told the other two flyers.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on April 03, 2011, 05:29:27 PM
Jared landed behind Rinkus. he was a little nervous with Rinkus's "life or death "warning. he grabbed his tail.

"*Gulp* No!.. I want to live.  Don't worry, I'll be careful. I really don't know my way around here. I don't know where we're at, but i'll stay right by you and Pterano.

"Believe me, Luke's a good listener and he'll stay close, too. I know he won't ignore us. I don't want to get lost in the mysterious beyond, or eaten up by a sharptooth, and neither does he.

"I'll listen to whatever you or Pterano tell me. I trust both of you. You've been a great friend to me so far, Rinkus. You've been a very caring long-tail and have done a fine job of watching out for Luke and I."

"Pterano's done a wonderful job of leading us, too. He's very bold, smart, and brave."

"Rinkus, you deserve something special. You've been very kind to me and Luke so far. You're a great friend, and I really like you. If you want me to, when we get back to the cave tonight, before we go to sleep, l'll give you a massage, and then that is, if you want to, you can give one to me. "

"Can we do that, Rinkus?" asked Jared, grinning at the pink flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on April 10, 2011, 01:46:35 AM
*We've got someone interested in joining the story!

It's "trulyfantasticme" (a girl btw), and she really loves Pterano just like I do.  :D  She said she really wants to give him a hug. I don't know what kind of flyer she wants to be, though. I guess she'll want to be a Pteranodon, but I don't know yet...

But I think the story just got more interesting with a female flyer in it. At night, "trulyfantasticme" would probably sleep with Pterano in his bed (I'm not trying to send any dirty messages, were keeping it clean, here.

I'm just saying, she'll probably want to sleep in Pterano's bed with him.. Sierra can sleep leaning against the cave wall like he did before, Rinkus has his own bed to himself, and i'll keep sleeping in Sierra's old bed with Luke, ok?

So, after I get Rinkus's answer about my "massage" offer, we could spot "trulyfantasticme" and go meet her (whatever her name is... Like I said, it'll be more interesting with a female flyer in it, don't you think?)*

Rinkus returned the smile. "A free massage, how could I turn that down. Sure thing" he said to Jared before turning back to Pterano he took a few steps forwards and stopped.

"Come here, don't step any further than me" he said to Jared.

Sierra was circling high above them when he spotted a blue female Pteranodon. "Hm, more whelps" he muttered to himself.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on April 12, 2011, 03:17:30 AM
"All right, buddy." said Jared, as he took a few steps forward and stopped when he got right up to Rinkus. Then, Jared looked up and he too noticed the blue female pteranodon flying above them.

"Hey, look up there you guys, I think we got some more company. It's a crested flyer like Pterano,  it's blue, and oooh...it's a girl, too." said Jared, observing the blue flyer above them.

"What do you think, Pterano? Isn't she pretty?" asked Jared, still standing next to Rinkus.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on April 12, 2011, 05:11:43 AM
Luke gazed at the black and blue flyer swooping through the air. "Wow..." he said under his breath, scratching his beak. Then he cleared his throat. "Pterano, she's the same kind of flyer as you. Maybe you should introduce me.. us, I mean. You should introduce us."

**Ok, guys, we have another person who'd like to join the story...Allicloud. I told her that would be fine. I also told her that her character could be a flyer (or flyers) but it didn't have to be... I also told her that I'd prefer that her flyer would live in a different cave or somewhere else...) I just think that 6 flyers living together in one cave is enough for me... And any more than that would be too much..

I also told him to give us a little time to get acquatinted with our new black and blue flyer Artie (trulyfantasticme) before Allicloud introduces his own O.C.(s).

In the meantime, let's get acquainted with our new arrival Artie the black and blue girl pteranodon... *heh heh* I like Artie already. She'll be great for the story. (but how am I going to reveal my farting problem to her..?  I might get called "Stinky beak" or something :DD  :lol  ***

Now that i've told you about Allicloud joining in the near future, let's get back to the story. And get acquainted with Artie.. I bet she'll be a lovely, cute flyer *Look, I'm blushing already*. :oops  :)

Finally! Let's get the party started!

Pterano approached the female blue flyer, who was struggling to find her precious diamond. "Is everything all right, miss?" he spoke smoothly with his deep British accent.

This startled Artie as she nearly fell out of the air, but then Pterano grabbed her hand, keeping her from falling. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, you really scared me there...I thought you were some kinda stalker or something..."

Pterano chuckled. "Oops, that would've been scary." He joked, making the female blue flyer laugh. "So what are you doing out here all alone?"

"I'm just looking for my diamond. My mother gave it to me for my 21st star day. (Just thought I'd make Artie a young adult) So I cannot lose it."

"Hey, I've seen one of those. One of them landed in my cave." (Hope you guys don't mind if I added that :smile )

"That must be it! Take me there."

Pterano did what she asked as they flew to the cave. He picked up the diamond, holding it out to her. "Is this what you're looking for?"

"Yeah! Thanks!" Artie replied, taking the diamond and hugging it to her chest. "I owe you one."

"No problem, you want to come meet my friends?"

"I'd love to!"

Some time later...

"Hey guys! I've got someone for you to meet. This is Artie."

Rinkus was the first to approach her, taking her hand. "Please to make your acquaintance, Artie." He kissed her hand.  

"Pleasures all mine," Artie replied, patting his head.

Pterano placed his arm around her. "Artie, this is Rinkus, Jared and Sierra."

Sierra just huffed in response. He hated newcomers. Cause with them around, he couldn't beat the heck out of other flyers.  "Whatever..."

"Hey where's Jared?" Pterano asked, noticing Jared wasn't in the group.

Rinkus pointed at the boulder behind him. "He's behind the boulder, boss." ( :lol I hope you don't mind if I have Rinkus call him "boss". By the way, Jared, I hope you don't mind me putting you behind a boulder.)

"Jared, come on out. She won't bite." Pterano told the younger rhamphorhynchus (did I spell that right?) signaling him with his claw.

How was that?

"Get out there Jared, don't be shy!" Luke whispered, and gave him a little shove from behind the boulder. "He can be a little nervous sometimes..." Luke explained. Stepping over to Artie, he took her hand and grinned. "How do you do?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on May 09, 2011, 01:18:21 PM
Jared walked up to Artie. He was still a little nervous, but he was happy, too. He thought Artie was beautiful. Then, Jared looked at Artie with his blue eyes and spoke up, as he twirled his tail with one hand and smiled...

"Hi, Artie. I'm Jared. I think you're cute and very beautiful. hee hee. How are you?" said Jared as he smiled big and blushed at Artie. He loved her black and blue colors. He thought she was a very pretty flyer, and hoped she would do something nice back to him, like hold his hand.

"Why thanks Jared! You're quite handsome yourself. I'm called ugly most of the time just because I'm black.  :rolleyes: And I'm doing great! Thanks to Mr. Pterano here." She smiled at the red flyer, who stood up in pride. She had to admit. Pterano was one very handsome flyer.

"Oh, it was nothing." the red flyer replied.

Sierra just scoffed in annoyance. "Girls and their stupid mini crushes on Pterano!" (:lol I just had to put that in there! I couldn't resist!)

[Just a quick thing to bring some of my characters into the story. They aren't in really close proximity to you guys, so you don't know they are there, I'm just getting them int the plot]

Not too far away, another crested flyer perched atop a tall mountain peak. Halfway between adulthood and childhood, he was a grey-brown colour, with an orange belly. Looking out at the Beyond with bright green eyes, he barely moved as a figure clambered up behind him.

"Ah, Tero. I knew you'd be here."

Tero looked back at the figure, not saying a word. Looking out accross the vast wastelands and mountains, something felt off to him.

"What's up? Somethin' new?"

Tero nodded silently, as the figure leaned against a rock, careful not to bend the vast sail on his back. "Well, don't spend too long up here, we were gonna go visit Zin, remember?"

The shadowy figure retreated, leaving Tero alone with his thoughts.

Above the heads of the group of flyers and their new friend, stormy clouds darkened the sky. The cave began to echo with the rumble of thunder.

Glancing outside, Luke kicked his tail nervously. "Uh, I don't want to rush you guys, but we still don't have any food, and the weather looks like it's taking a turn for the worst. Pterano, do you know where we could get something to eat? When I'm hungry, I can get grumpy."  
He shifted his gaze to Artie. "Or maybe you know someplace we could go?"

"I sure do!" Artie said, standing up with pride. "Fallow me!"

So they took off as Artie led them over the Big Water. "Down there!" She pointed at the Big Water below them. "This Big Water has the best tasting fish ever!"

"Hey, I remember this place!" Pterano exclaimed. "It's been quite a while since I last came here."

Jared was new to this Big Water. He was also getting hungry like Luke.

"Really? I've never been to this Big Water before, Pterano. But, If it's got good fish, that's great! Because I'm getting hungry, too." said Jared, hovering over the big water as his stomach growled.

"Hey, this is the first time that Luke and I have ever eaten with you guys!" he pointed out to Pterano, Rinkus, and Artie. Jared was excited. This was going to be fun.

"Well, let's not waste any more time!" Luke cried out, "Those fish won't wait for us!" Angling his body downwards, he shot towards the water. As he got nearer, the dark shapes of the fish wriggled enticingly. "You're gonna make a great snack," Luke grinned excitedly.

Just before he hit the water, Luke opened his mouth wide. Sensing him, the fish darted to the side. Unable to stop himself, he continued into the water and bit down on a rock just below the surface instead. "Gah!" he shrieked as he re-emerged and scrambled out red-faced, rubbing his beak, "I'd forgotten how quick they are!"

Pterano flew down, taking a fish in his beak. "They not as fast once you get used to them. How about you give it a try, Aritie?"

"Gladly!" She flew down to grab not one, but a beak full of fish. "Delicious!" she said with her beak full.

Then, Jared dove down to the water and saw a bunch of fish. "I've got you now!" he said with a grin. He dove his head in and grabbed some...

Jared caught four fish. "Yum! Yum!" he happily said with a full beak. Then, he swallowed the delicious, meaty, fishy goodness.

"Absolutely delicious! I got four fish. Not bad, eh?" he said happily.

But then, Jared frowned, and told everyone, "Aww, It's too bad Luke didn't catch any fish. I don't want him to go hungry, do you?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 12, 2011, 10:41:11 PM
"No, we wouldn't. " Pterano replied before diving down for some extra fish and then bringing up a mouth full of them. He put two of them into his hand. "Here ya go, Luke! Fresh out of the Big Water!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 13, 2011, 01:08:22 PM
Luke took the fish and grinned sheepishly. "Thanks, Pterano. To be honest, I've never been that good at catching fish. It looks like you guys have me beat." With two quick snaps of his beak, he ate both the fish. "I'm good at eating them though," he said, as he scratched his tail contentedly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 14, 2011, 10:27:53 AM
Pterano just shrugged, sending Luke a smile. "Ah, it's okay! I stunk at catching fish too when I was your age."

"Sure you did," Rinkus told him sarcastically, smirking.

Pterano gave him a "Dude, seriously?" glare as Rinkus just laughed. "Okay, maybe I could fish a little. But I couldn't even get them into my mouth!"

"Pterano, you were able to fit five of the fish into your mouth by the time you were twelve!" Rinkus pointed out.

"Chee, you're no help." Pterano sighed. He was just trying to make Luke feel better but Rinkus just had to ruin it. Rinkus just laughed.

"It's okay," Rinkus assured the green flyer, patting him on the back. "We never start out good, now do we?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on May 15, 2011, 03:14:40 AM
Jared agreed with Rinkus. "No, we don't. I wasn't a good fisher at first either, but i'm much better at it now."

"Say Rinkus, why don't you go next? Can you show Luke and I how you catch fish? We'd love to learn from a fellow long tailed flyer like you."

Then, Jared noticed Rinkus's fat belly. "Wow, you've got a big, fat, belly. You must be GREAT at catching fish, buddy!" Said Jared happily to his pink friend with a smile on his beak. "I want to get a big, fat, belly just like yours!"

Seeing Rinkus's big, fat belly made Jared think that Rinkus caught LOTS of fish in one meal, and he also knew Rinkus could help Luke with catching fish.

"Eh, no problemo boys!" With that the pink flyer flew down and caught as many fish he could in his mouth. "Fish is on me tonight!" With that he flew back to the cave with Pterano and the others fallowing.

Tero hovered on an air current, just above the cave where the other flyers were headed. Diving down to a nearby ledge, he watched the gang of flyers swoop down into the cave in the mountain.

Diving down to where his friend stood on a nearby ledge, he pointed to the cave. The other looked with a claw to his brow, as he watched the flyers enter the cave.

"Ah, so that was it. C'mon Tero, let's check it out."

He made to leave but noticed Tero was not following him.

"Hey, c'mon! We'll go visit Zin later okay? Who knows, maybe those flyers will want to meet them too."

With that, Tero and this strange figure headed down the side of the mountain towards the cave.

Post by: bushwacked on May 15, 2011, 06:32:15 PM
Inside the cave, Luke accepted another fish from Rinkus and sat down, chewing it. "Thanks again for helping us to find food. Me and Jared haven't eaten this well for a while."

Swallowing the last of the fish, he sighed with satisfaction. "I think..." he started. Then he stopped and cocked his head. From the darkness outside, the sound of beating wings drifted into the cave. "Were you guys expecting anyone?" he asked, glancing at Pterano, Rinkus and Sierra in puzzlement.

"No not really,  :blink: " Pterano replied before turning to Rinkus and Sierra. "Were you two?"

"No not really," Rinkus replied.

****Cast Change: Pterano (the user) is now playing Rinkus and Sierra in place of Trulyfantasticme****

Jared was a little scared. He grabbed his tail.  :unsure: "W-w-well, Pterano and Rinkus, if you weren't expecting any company, then w-w-who or WHAT could be out there?" :blink: said Jared, as his wings trembled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

"Oh the heck if I know." Artie said, shrugging.

"Beats me." Pterano added, also shrugging his shoulders. "Shall we go find out?"

Every one just stepped back, all frightened. "Okay, I guess that leaves me." Pterano spreaded his wings. "HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!!" He shouted before flying towards the strange creatures.

"But Pterano! What if they're sharpteeth?" Artie called after him.

"I'll beat them up then!" Pterano shouted back at her before continuing to fly over to the strange flyers. "I'll be fine! I promise!"

Sierra rolled his eyes as Pterano flew out of the cave. "Well, he's sure grown a spine, hasn't he?" the flyer asked, a tad sarcastically.

Rinkus shook his head, and placed his hands comfortingly on Jared's shoulders, as the pink rhamphorhynchus could see that his new friend was agitated. He took note of the way Jared twisted his tail, and stammered, in addition to the shudders passing through Jared's wings.

"Now, now. I'm sure it will be OK." he gave Jared's shoulders a few pats to try and reassure him, and get his trembling under control. "Pterano will go out and look, and then we'll find out for ourselves exactly what's out there. I wouldn't get too scared just yet. Let's wait and see, shall we? Try and calm yourself a little." he continued to pat Jared's shoulders, and looked towards the mouth of the cave, squinting to see if Pterano had discovered anything yet, though the red flyer was, unfortunately, out of sight at the moment.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on May 18, 2011, 01:25:33 AM
Jared listened to the pink flyer, and calmed down.

"Thanks, Rinkus. I'm not as scared, now. I'm glad you care about me, buddy." said Jared, as he smiled and pat Rinkus on one shoulder. He really liked Rinkus.

He thought Rinkus was very friendly, kind and caring. The pink flyer was going to be such a great friend for him to have. Then, the tan flyer thought about Pterano and what he may have found outside the cave, and said...

"Hmm... I wonder what Pterano saw?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 18, 2011, 04:47:48 PM
(Oh please, all this buildup for little old me...! :oops )

Tero looked ahead at the flyer heading straight for him. Gliding down to the ground, he waited as his friend came around the bend, and into view.

A stranger pair there could never be. The mysterious figure was a sharptooth. Around his teenage years, he was about twice the size of any flyer, but appeared even bigger thanks to the huge yellow fin on his back that stood up like a sail. His red and orange skin contrasted with the strange black grass and weeds he wore draped and tied all over his body, wrapped around his neck, hanging from his sail, draped over his head, everywhere. Tero had a similar set of weeds tied to his crest and above the knee of his left leg, which was horribly mangled and twisted, with a set of claw-marks across it.

The sharptooth nodded to Tero, his voice dripping with sarcasm "Sorry, us landwalkers are kinda slow, aren't we?"

Tero simply turned his gaze up to the approaching flyer.

"Ah, a welcoming party." The sharptooth grinned a massive, toothy grin as he waved to the oncoming flyer.

"Hey there!"

(In case I'm being unclear, Tero is a pteranodon and the other one is a Spinosaurus.)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 18, 2011, 06:55:19 PM
"Hello there, may I help you?" Pterano asked, not noticing the sharptooth.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 18, 2011, 10:21:56 PM
"Of course." Rinkus replied, in response to Jared thanking him. "It's really the least I can do after all." he gave Jared another smile, this time accompanying it with a nod.

Rinkus kept a hand on Jared's shoulder, just as a reminder that he shouldn't worry, and that keeping calm in this situation was best. "Now then, if you ask me, I think that we'd have heard Pterano by now if it was something bad. I think instead that Pterano has found something that won't threaten or harm us." the pink flyer was basing this assessment off the fact that Pterano would most likely be screaming in pain if there was a sharptooth out there, or calling out a warning back to their cave. As nothing of the sort had occurred, Rinkus felt it safe to assume the best.

"Oh!" Rinkus suddenly thought of something that might help take Jared's mind off of whatever it was that might be out there. "Say, Jared, why don't you tell me about your favorite place to fly to? I mean surely you have one, don't you? I know I do. I could tell my you mine, if you like, after you tell me yours." he wanted to make an effort to keep Jared as calm as possible, as his new friend deserved it after all. No sense in getting worried over things they couldn't see just yet, so Rinkus was going to do what he could for Jared while Pterano was away.

Post by: Jrd89 on May 19, 2011, 01:21:58 AM
"Well, Rinkus, there's a beautiful waterfall I know of. There's some shady trees there that I like to sit underneath and relax. Sometimes, i'll even take a nap there. It's very shady and peaceful. That waterfall is my favorite place to fly to, Rinkus. It's so beautiful and relaxing." Said Jared, as he thought about the beautiful waterfall and the shady trees...

Luke kept staring towards the entrance of the cave. There was still no sign of Pterano, or what had become of him, and the only sound was the rain which had started to drizzle lightly. He started to shuffle his feet nervously.

"He's taking a long time, guys," Luke whispered, drawing closer to Rinkus and Jared, "And it's too quiet. Maybe something got him? And now it's coming to get us... Jared, what do we do?! There's only one way out of this cave, and something's coming to get us!"

"You'll help me, won't you Sierra?" he cried, as he darted behind the brown flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 19, 2011, 07:59:10 AM
Tero looked up to Pterano, but stayed as silent as always.

"You won't get any answer outta him, mate." the sharptooth called, stepping forward into view. "He doesn't talk... Say, ya got any food around here, we're pretty hungry, right Tero?"

The silent flyer nodded.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 19, 2011, 02:15:36 PM
"Hey! What the!?" Sierra exclaimed, caught off guard by Luke scampering behind him. "Errr, what do you want me to do?" Sierra asked. "If it's a sharptooh, I'm outta here!"

"But..." Rinkus broke in, reminding his "friend" of certain facts. "As Luke just pointed out, there's only one way out, so you're stuck with us I'm afraid." he said, chuckling a little at Sierra's predicament. He didn't wish ill on him, though he just found it sligthly amusing that everyone was panicking.

"Let's not lose our heads, alright?" Rinkus went on. "Don't you listen to them Jared." he said, giving the tan flyer another pat on the shoulder. "They're just jumping to conclusions. Why don't I tell you about my favorite place, yes?"

"Hmph." Sierra snorted, though said nothing further. He grabbed a rock from off of the cave floor, not wanting to take any chances in case Luke was right.

"Well, my favorite place is not too far from here actually.There's a very big lake with a beach on one end of it. It can get kind of windy there, but it makes for absolutely amazing flying!" Rinkus said, speaking directy to Jared and ignoring Sierra. "And not only that, but it's nice to just lie on your back or belly and sun yourself for a bit in the sand, if you fancy that sort of thing." he gestured with this hand as he talked (as he was prone to doing), and gave Jared another smile. "It's quite the place. It never gets too hot because of the wind. The heat's just about right I find. Your place sounds quite nice too. You should take us there sometime, if you don't mind sharing your paradise." he told the flyer with a wink.

While Sierra was staying on guard, Rinkus was remarkably at ease, relaxed and conversing with Jared as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Pterano craned his neck to the sharptooth. His eyes widened as he yelled the same thing Petrie would yell. "Oh my...BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH!!!! (:lol Imagine him doing that!) SHARPTOOTH!!!!" (:lol Pterano will only beat up sharpteeth if they are harming those he cares about. He's pretty much of a scaredy egg when the sharptooth is threatening him. Even though this nice one is not) He turned around and started flying the other way with great speed...

Until he bumped into Artie. Luckily she was here just in time to see Pterano's little encounter with the sharptooth. "Calm down, Pterano. I know these kind of sharpteeth. They're harmless!" she told him.

Pterano just nodded in response as Artie approached the sharptooth. "Hi there!" Artie told the sharptooth.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on May 20, 2011, 01:11:53 AM
Jared could picture Rinkus's beach in his head...

"Wow, Rinkus. That beach sounds very peaceful and relaxing. And sure, buddy. I'd love to take you to see my waterfall someday. I know you'll love it." the tan flyer said with a smile.

"Don't worry about Luke, Rinkus. Sometimes, he gets really worried and scared, like I do. He'll be all right."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 20, 2011, 02:39:51 PM
Tero stared up at the blue flyer who had turned up, and nudged the sharptooth at his side. The massive beast grinned up at her, revealing rows of sharp teeth, including a single tooth on either side of his mouth, twice as long as any of the others.

"Harmless, eh? We beg to differ. But friendly enough, if there's friendly folk about."

He held forth a claw for shaking "Redback's my name, and this is Tero."

Tero did not put forth a claw to shake, or even make any reply, save for a slight sneer at the flyers.

"Now, as I said, you got any food around here?" Redback spoke up again "Green food'll do the trick, but if ya got any fish or meat, all the better."

Tero nodded.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 20, 2011, 06:49:36 PM
"There's some green food over there," She pointed to the trees about twenty to thirty feet from here. "But if you want fish, you're gonna have to head over to the Big Water. But I'd much rather save the fish for later. I just had some not too long ago. Right Pterano?"

Pterano was still hiding behind her. "Why are you bringin me into this..?"

Redtooth gazed up at the older flyer confused.

Artie looked back at Redtooth. "Never mind him. He's just tired from our long journey to the Big Water not too long ago." She felt her hand on her head. "And so am I." She flew to the side, revealing Pterano. "I'm gonna head back to the cave. Pterano here will help you if you need any."

Pterano stared at her wide eyed. "Relax, Pterano. You're gonna be fine." Artie reassured him. Pterano just nodded in response before she took off, leaving him with the not-so-strangers any more. Pterano looked back at them. "H-hello." he waved nervously.

A loud, terror filled scream cut through the air. Followed closely behind the scream was a young archaeopteryx child. As he fell past Pterano and the other flyers, he collided with the ground and slid for several feet, however even before his body had come to a full stop against the ground, the child was clawing against the ground and screaming as if he were being tortured.
"Don't let them kill me!!! P-please! I want to live!" he cried as his eyes darted around in fear, and shed several tears.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 21, 2011, 04:58:16 AM
The child's scream reverberated through the cave. Starting, Luke craned his head towards the entrance. "Do you guys hear that? Something is happening out there!" he exclaimed. Seizing the rock from Sierra, he declared grimly "I have to help them!"

Flying up into the air he scanned the area, and could make out Pterano with a smaller figure cowering on the ground in front of a sharptooth and another flyer. He could also see Artie flying back towards the cave. "That's it, Artie! Run!" Luke cried, and threw the rock. It arched through the air and bonked the large sharptooth on the head. "This is your chance Pterano! Take the kid and run!" he yelled triumphantly.

Redback was about to head towards the trees for a handful of green (and who knows, maybe there might be come ground crawlers!), when the small wingtail flyer plummeted to the ground by his foot. Turning in shock, he made to attack the ambusher, but saw it was little more than a child.
It did look tasty, he thought to himself, but he knew the reaction he'd get from the others if he even thought about eating him. So shrugging, he headed off to the grove of trees, but not before giving Tero a tug.

"C'mon Tero, this ain't any business of ours. Let's eat. You can deal with this little guy...Pterano, was that your name?"

The mute flyer nodded, and the pair dined on treestars and the occasional ground crawler. Once they finished, Tero pointed out the cave opening in the mountainside. Redback nodded, and the pair set off climbing the hill towards the cave.

"Hey, if we're gonna hang about with these wingheads, we may as well introduce ourselves to them all."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 21, 2011, 04:34:51 PM
Pterano straightened his body and narrowed his eyebrows before flying back to the cave. "Give him here." Luke placed the child on Pterano's back before heading back to help the others.

"Come on, Artie!" Pterano told the female flyer.

"But I wanna stay and help." she protested.

"No, you take the kid to a safer place. I'll stay and help." With that, he placed the child on her back.

She looked at the older flyer confused. Wasn't he just acting like a scaredy egg a minute ago? And now he's being all-dare she say it-brave? "Just go," Pterano told her, snapping her out of her thoughts. "I'll be fine." He smiled at her reassuringly.

That confusion in her mind turned to worry. Sure he said he would be fine. But this was a gigantic sharptooth he was dealing with. Not the friendly omnivore sharptooth. She just couldn't help but wonder, what if he won't be fine?

She nodded at him before taking off. Pterano watched her, whispering these words. "Be careful, love." Before flying down to help Luke and the others.

The young child didn't seem to realize he was being helped, as he continued to shiver and squirm in utter fear. He gave two more terrified squeals and then on reflex, his body went limp as he slipped into unconsciousness. However even in his dreams, he couldn't escape the fear plaguing his heart.

The childs dream began with a voice calling out to him. But as the voice got closer, it became darker, colder and  more and more menacing and just when the kid thought he'd lose his mind from fright, a soothing, almost peaceful light flooded the darkness of his mind allowing him to breath. After a moment to collect his thoughts he asked aloud, "W-what is wrong with me?! Why can't I find anyone who cares about me?"

The voice that answer the kid was both warm and chilling. "You little one, are the only one who needs to care about your well being. It all depends on YOU and how you will solve these problems!"

The child silently let a tear slid down his face and began to shudder again as he felt himself waking up. He blinked his eyes open to see a flyer carrying him, and after a moment of staying silent he cleared his throat and asked in a hushed voice, "E-excuse me... who are you?"

Artie shook the archaeopteryx child in her arms. "Kid, hey kid! Wake up!" She told him. But it was no use as the kid just stirred uncontrollably. She sighed before giving him on last nudge. "Kid, get up!"

Finally the kid opened his eyes as to him, everything was a blur. He couldn't even see past his own nose. But this only took a few seconds to regain eye sight. A blue flyer hovered over him with worried eyes. "Are you okay, kid?"

Redback rubbed the welt on his head where the rogue rock struck him.

"Ooh, that's gonna sting in the mornin'!"

He shook his head in confusion. So much going on so fast, he felt like roaring out. But he checked himself, knowing that these flyers were stirred and shaken enough without his roars adding to the mess.

He looked up as Tero reached the ledge where the cave was. With one final push, he joined his flyer friend on the ledge, just outside the cave.
As they made to enter the cave, Tero nudged Redback, and pointed down to where Pterano was flying towards them, a grim look on his face.

"Oh boy, this doesn't look good. Whadaya want, Pterano?!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 21, 2011, 06:12:24 PM
"Quickly, pass me that vine behind you!" Pterano shouted back. Redtooth grabbed the vine that was hanging off a tree behind him.

Pterano flew off and threw the vine towards the giant sharptooth's jaws before it could consume Luke.

Luke gazed at Pterano, who was still holding onto the vine with his strength. "Keep your dirty teeth off him, you overgrown lizards!" With that he pulled on the vine, bringing the sharptooth's closed jaws to face him. But before he could do anything, the sharptooth broke free and still headed for Luke.

Pterano landed on the sharptooth's head, pecking his eye out to earn a loud roar coming from him. With his focus now on Pterano, it shook its head, knocking him off and tossing him into the air. Pterano regained his balance, but he realized that he sharptooth had him backed up against the wall.

Pterano closed his eyes, preparing for impact when he realized it never came. For a tree sweet splashed into the sharptooth's face. Pterano looked up to thank whoever had saved him to see flyer, black on the outside, blue on the inside and no crest. "Devon..."

The child blinked again as he looked up at the female flyer. He felt better being in her embrace, but couldn't smile. He then sighed quietly and shuddered again as he remembered his dreams. He heard the flyer ask her own question and he answered with a shaky tone in his voice. "y-yes... I'm... okay. I... I just... I just need to r-relax." he said aloud.

Whatever was going on out there, it was certainly making a lot of noise. Rinkus thought he heard signs of a struggle starting to erupt, which was unusual because things had sounded rather peaceful not that long ago, so it seemed as if events were taking a turn for the worse.

"Should we... maybe go and take a look?" Rinkus asked Jared, wanting to know if it was alright with his friend first before he moved.

Sierra refused to budge. "I ain't takin' one step towards that cave entrance. That crazy Luke can go and get himself killed for all I..."

"Please... just pipe down. We don't know what's going on out there." Rinkus said. He suddenly noticed that Redback and Tero had arrived on the ledge, but he wasn't able to see them too well due to the distance. Rinkus looked at Jared. "Wait here. I"ll be right back." he said reassuringly.

The pink flyer began to walk forward, trying to show confidence in his stride as he neared the cave entrance. "Hello? Who might you two be?" He asked, taking note now that one of them for certain looked like a sharptooth. His heart started to beat a little faster, but he only that this sharptooth hadn't simply chewed through Pterano to get here. He could see little else of what was going on outside after all. But the sharptooth was with a flyer, and that put him somewhat more at ease, though he didn't lower his guard just yet.

In the brief lull in action, Tero made his move.

Swooping down between Redback and the other flyers, he spread his wings wide, separating them.

Redback would stand for this no more, and let out a mighty roar that shook the cave. All froze as the last echoes died in the cave. Crossing his eyes, he licked his lips as he spotted the treesweet that was now perched on his snout. Sticking out a sinuous tongue, he lapped it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"MMM, delicious!....Erm, now, would you guys mind telling us why yer attacking innocent dinosaurs who were just gonna come introduce ourselves to ya?"

Tero glared sternly at the group of flyers facing them.

"You can relax, we're not gonna eat ya!"

*Actually Jared, I'm outside. You're all alone with Sierra  :D *

Luke picked up another rock, started to throw it... then paused. "You're not... going to eat us?" Lowering his weapon, he crept forward cautiously. Looking at the strange pair, he had little doubt they could have caused him serious harm already if they wanted to.

Deciding he could trust them, Luke stepped forward. "I'm Luke. Sorry for throwing that rock at you earlier..." he said, red-faced. "The last couple of times me and my friend crossed paths with a huge sharptooth like you, they weren't so... friendly."

Redback gently pushed Tero out of the way, who flapped up to perch on his shoulders.

"Heh, no big deal. Me and him get that alot. My name's Redback, and my quiet friend up here is Tero." He added, gesturing upwards at Tero, who nodded.

Looking around at the large group of assorted flyers who crowded the area, he chuckled.

"Quite the squadron of flyers you got here. Any room for a pair of young misfits who are down on their luck?"

Jared stepped outside the cave. "Is everyone ok out here, Luke?" he asked to the green rhamphorhynchus.

"It's ok, Jared," Luke replied, "They aren't dangerous. At least not to us". Placing a reassuring claw on Jared's shoulder, he pointed at the two newcomers. "The big guy's Redback, and the flyer's called Tero. He doesn't seem to talk much. This is Jared," he said, indicating his friend.

Clearing his throat, he glanced around at Perano. "I don't see why they couldn't stay. What do you think Pterano?"

Artie cradled the child in her arms, smiling. "Well, I'm glad you're okay." She patted the kids head. "Don't worry, Pterano and I will protect you from the sharpteeth." Her smile grew wider when she felt the kid scoot closer to her chest, listening to her smooth heartbeat. "So what's your name?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Devon!" Pterano called.

"Pterano! Catch!" the blue flyer shouted as he passed the older flyer a vine. "Let's do this!"

Before Pterano could do anything, he remembered about Rinkus. He craned his head towards the pink flyer staring back at them in disbelief. "Rinkus! Run, get out of here!"

The pink flyer's shocked look turned into a confused, worried look. "We've got this! Just go and help Luke and Jared. They're gonna need you!" Pterano continued.

Rinkus just didn't know what to do. He didn't want to leave his old friend to the mean sharptooth. But he also didn't wanna leave Jared either. So he decided he should fallow Pterano's order for once and flew off.

Pterano and Devon smirked at eachother. "Let's do this!" Devon repeated as the red flyer nodded at him. Devon tossed his vine in the air. Pterano did the same. Devon's aiming for the legs and Pterano's aiming for the jaws.

The sharptooth jerked its jaw, pulling Pterano near its mouth. "Be careful, Pterano!" Devon shouted in worry.

Pterano, ignoring the blue flyer's call, used his feet to jump from the sharptooth's bottom jaw to fly to the top of its head, tying the vine around them tight.

Devon tied his vine around the sharptooth's leg as it looked down and saw him as a good meal. So it lowered its head and opened its jaws, despite the vines. Only to taste a certain pteranodon instead.

"Pterano!" Devon shouted as he tied his vines around both of the sharptooth's ankles, pulling them together so it won't go anywhere. "Let my friend go, you heartless bastard!" He pulled on the vine, causing the sharptooth to fall on its stomach, knocking it unconscious.

Devon took a couple breaths before racing up to the sharptooth's closed jaws. "Pterano?" He called worriedly. "Pterano?" Are you in there?"

He received no answer as the atmosphere remained silent around him. Assuming that the sharptooth had already swallowed his friend, tears of grief formed in his eyes. He turned around to face the setting sun, thinking his friend was in a better place now.

Until he heard a silent groan coming from behind him causing him to turn back to the unconscious sharptooth. And guess what he saw.

Its jaws opening...wide, until they revealed a certain red flyer holding them up with all of his strength. He smiled. "Pterano!"

Pterano jumped out of the sharptooth's jaws as Devon jumped into his arms right after. "Are you okay?" he asked the blue flyer, breaking their reunion hug.

"Am I okay? Am I okay? No. The question is, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I'm okay..."Pterano groaned, holding his wing in pain. "I hope..."

"Oh my! Will you be able to fly?"

"I'll try. But probably not that far though." Pterano replied, still clutching his wings.

"Should we go tell the others we're okay?"

"Sure. Just don't fly too fast." Pterano replied, being the first to spread his wings. "I'm not as young as I used to be."

Devon smiled at the older flyer worriedly before spreading his wings. And they took off together.

Rinkus was inwardly relieved to find out that the sharptooth wouldn't hurt them. He exhaled, thought tried to pass it off as normal. "Ahem, yes, well, as said, that's Luke, and Jared. And my name is Rinkus. And..." he glared behind him, at Sierra, who hadn't budged.

"THAT fellow is Sierra. Though I guess he prefers the cave at the moment."

Sierra, who was too far back to hear anything, only caught Rinkus glaring at him. "What's his deal?" he muttered. No way he was getting tricked into walking out there with some sharptooth.

"Why don't you come inside then?" Rinkus suggested, hooking a claw behind him to the cave. "And er... have you seen Pterano by any chance? I thought you would've ran into him since he flew out to see what the noise was... and I assume the noise was you?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

"Here I am!" Pterano interrupted, landing next to the pink flyer along with Devon. "Is everybody okay?"

Everyone nodded. "Well now, everyone, I would like you to meet a friend  of mine, Devon." he put his arm around the blue flyer and pulled him close.

Devon just waved nervously. "Hello."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 10:57:05 PM
"A friend of yours, you say?" Rinkus asked, regarding Devon with a rub of his chin. "You look... a little familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?" he asked, raising a brow and studying the blue flyer, trying to place exactly where he'd seen him, if he'd seen him at all.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:00:42 PM
"Yeah, you look a little familiar too." Devon scratched his head.

"Devon, this is another friend of mine, Rinkus." Pterano introduced.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 11:08:31 PM
"It's a pleasure." Rinkus said with a smile and a nod, and tried to motion for Sierra to walk closer.

The brown flyer, who was still way in the back of the cave, groaned in an annoyed fashion, and started ambling towards the cave entrance. "That there is Sierra." Rinkus said to Devon, pointing at him as he closed the distance between them.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:19:17 PM
Devon's eyes went as wide as plates as he clutched onto Pterano's arm like a child would if they were scared. "Devon, what's wrong?"

"Hold me," he squeaked. Pterano just stared at him confused. (In this story, Pterano doesn't know that Sierra is Devon's father) But he could tell that for some reason, Devon was scared outta his wits and he needed some kind of comfort. So he wrapped his arms around the boy, despite the pain it sent to his wings as he buried his face into the older flyer's chest, still clutching to him. "Keep me safe."

"Of course I'll always keep you safe," Pterano told him comfortingly, though he didn't know exactly why.

Side note: Well Jared, looks to me like yer not the only one scared outta his wits of Sierra.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 11:23:57 PM
((Good!  :DD ))

Sierra raised a brow as he noticed who the blue flyer was that was clinging to Pterano. "What in the... you!?" he demanded, running forward and drawing even with Rinkus, who moved aside. Oh NOW he comes out... Rinkus thought, rolling his eyes.

"You... you're Devon... right?" Sierra asked, mostly shocked by this revelation. "And just... what are you doing here? Where have you been?" He barked, pointing a claw at the agitated flyer.

Rinkus only gave Sierra a confused look.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:29:00 PM
Devon just clinged tighter to Pterano, who held his hand up. "Now, Sierra, show a little self control. You're just scaring the poor thing." He said, tightening his arms around the boy for he had a bad feeling about this.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 11:31:22 PM
Sierra clenched his fists, and bared his teeth. "Pterano..." he growled, in a low voice. "You DO know... who that is... don't you?" he couldn't remember if he had ever mentioned his son to Pterano or not.

Rinkus was studying the two of them, squinting. Was it just him... or was there a resemblance between Sierra and Devon?
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:35:20 PM
"Yes, he's my son. And you're only scaring him even more by clenching that fist of yours!" Pterano told the brown flyer sternly.

Devon gazed up at the older flyer with with great shock and a hint of admiration. Did he just call him his son?
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 11:43:00 PM
"SON?" Sierra almost roared. "Are you NUTS? Did you like... hit your head or something, Pterano? SON? I think you got that a little backwards. Oh wait... I see, hahah." He said, in mock laugh. "Very funny. It's a joke, right? OK hee hee, ha ha, laugh laugh, good one Pterano." Sierra rolled his eyes.

"Um... Pterano... I think that Devon might actually be..."

"Shut up!" Sierra said, cutting Rinkus off when he tried to speak. "Pterano... you ever look at Devon? He just happens to be MY son!" Sierra jabbed a claw at his chest. "And I'd like to know what he's doing here and where he's been." the flyer placed his hands on his hips, glaring at the blue flyer in a knowing manner. "Go on. Tell him Devon. Tell him who you are." he said gruffly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:48:14 PM
Pterano's eyes opened wide then he gritted his teeth. He knew Devon had a cruel father, but he never knew that it was Sierra. He pushed the blue flyer away from him and stepped protectively in front of Devon, glaring at Sierra. "So you're his father that had abused him all his life." Pterano told Sierra coldly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 22, 2011, 11:52:01 PM
Sierra only scowled, teeth still bared. "Come off it Pterano! I was talking to Devon! Devon... get over here!" he ordered, pointing to the ground in front of him. "And how I raise my kid is no business of yours, Pterano. Since when can YOU dictate to the likes of me such a thing? You haven't exactly been a saint yourself, either!" he snapped.

Rinkus cringed, and backed away towards Jared. "I'm sure this will pass. They just need to get a few things off their chests. Don't let this worry you too much. Just a little clearing of the air so to speak." Rinkus explained, hoping Jared wouldn't get too nervous about this.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 22, 2011, 11:58:40 PM
"Look, I know what I've done in the past was wrong, but at least I can bring myself to admit I was wrong! And Devon's been telling me all about how you raised him." Pterano took steps towards Sierra. "Abused him, putting doubts in his head, giving him that scratch mark on his face. I would most certainly call that raising him!"

Devon just watched in horror as Sierra let his anger take over him as he lunged at Pterano, shedding his claws.

Post by: Pterano on May 23, 2011, 12:06:14 AM
((Hey! No autoing, you! *pokes trulyfantasticme* I'll let it slide this time. :)))

Sierra snarled, and lunged at Pterano, but stopped a mere inch from his face, as he caught sight of the horrified look on his son's face, seeing him quite clearly over Pterano's shoulder. "Grrrrr." he growled, backing up a few feet and lowering his raised claws. "Why don't we let Devon decide then, hm?" he glanced at Devon once more.

"Devon." He went on. "You uh... you really like Pterano more than you like me?" He asked, still breathing quite heavily but trying to keep himself in check. He had nearly lashed out of course, and was trying to prevent that, for whatever it was worth. He wanted to hear from his son first of all.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 23, 2011, 12:21:39 AM
Pterano snarled back at him. "You keep Devon out of this, you son of a tarpit!" He glanced back at Devon. "Dont you worry, Devon. I'll take care of this." He turned to Sierra. "If you even put a claw on Devon, I'll kick you out for good! Do you understand?"

"Tell him, Pterano!" Devon shouted. To be honest, now that Sierra gave him a choice, he would decide to go with Pterano, cause to him, Pterano was the only friend he's ever had. Pterano was always there for him, to help him, to comfort him and to hold him in his arms. He helped him through thick and thin while Sierra either told him to "get a grip" or just completely ignore him. He rushed up to Pterano and leaned in against him.

Pterano couldn't help but smile in pride as he wrapped his arms around the boy, holding him protectively in his arms. Then he continued to glare at Sierra.

*whew! you can slow down and relax a little, guys...wow, over 1 page written in just 1 day. Great job! Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back. NICE work!  :yes  :D *

Jared was frightened from all the nasty yelling Sierra did. Then, he thought...

I can't believe Sierra used to be his father...he SCRATCHED Devon's face?!?! SOME father HE WAS!..."  thought the tan rhamphorhynchus.  Then, Jared looked at Devon in Pterano's arms. He liked the young, friendly, innocent blue cearadactylus. He looked so nice and kind. Jared smiled. He wanted to meet Devon and be friends with him.

Jared walked right up to Pterano, who was still holding Devon in his arms... It was such a tender, loving sight for him to see, he almost cried...

Then, he smiled warmly, and looked at the young, blue flyer. "Hi, Devon. My name's Jared. I'm very happy to meet you." :D

The kid thought about the flyers question, and he shut his eyes tight not sure if he could remember his name. His mind was whirling fast, almost too fast as the child suddenly felt dizzy and still couldn't come up with any name. Then a horrible thought came to him.... and the thought chilled the child to his very soul....What if he'd been born without one?!

But the child pushed that thought aside quickly as that wouldn't make any sense... but he had no family, no home, no one really knew who he was... he'd been alone for so long that perhaps now... a name... simply didn't matter, but this female flyer had asked if he had one... what would be the harm in telling the truth... if he didn't have one, then perhaps she could give him one.

The kid looked down at the ground, then back at the female flyer and still stared as she smiled. He didn't want to keep her waiting... but he was afraid she'd laugh if he told her he didn't have a name. But after another few moments of silence the kid shuddered as he replied, "I... I... I don't have a name... I'm sorry! Please don't abandon me!"

[I'm still a bit confused. Did Pterano beat the crap out of another sharptooth, or was that Redback?]

Redback looked about the cave, an awkward silence hanging in the air. He watched Pterano embracing Devon, Sierra looking on. Redback nudged Tero, who hopped of his shoulders and landed at his side.

He muttered quietly to Tero "This is gettin' a bit much for me, I'm gonna slip out. I know an awkward situation when I see one."

Speaking up clearly, he said "Well, um, I dunno about you guys, but I'm gettin' kinda hungry. I'm just gonna, er, step out a minute and get me some food. Tero, you stay here, STAY, okay?"

Tero nodded and sat down on a nearby rock, as Redback stepped outside the cave and sat down on the ledge. IT was easy living with these flyers, once you get them to stop throwing rocks at you, but pretty hectic.

[BTW, if it's okay, could the players give a sort of sound off as to where exactly they are in the game? I'm kinda confused about whose where.]

"Whoa, Sierra, you have a son?!" Luke gasped. Looking from Sierra to Devon and back again, he could see similarities, but so far their personalities seemed totally different.

Following Jared's lead, he approached Devon uneasily. "Hey, I'm Luke..." Being around smaller kids always made him feel uncomfortable. He darted his eyes around, unsure of what to do, then said, "Uh... I'll help you find food, Redback. Wait up!" Taking off, he followed the large sharptooth out of the cave.

"Abandon you?" Artie asked as she continued to hold the kid. "Why would I abandon such a sweet innocent child like you?" She stroked his head. "I'll never leave you."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Devon stared at Jared shyly. He held his hand out for Jared to shake it, but didn't really say anything as he laid his head on Pterano's chest, closing his eyes as he listened to that heartbeat of the older flyer's.

Pterano just smiled as he did so, resting his beak protectively on his head. He loved this boy. He gently stroked the top of his head, whispering, "It's gonna be okay," in such a loving fatherly voice that it caught everyone else off guard.

"Yes, I have a son." Sierra snapped in response to Luke's question. "That blue flyer is MY son." He said, glaring at Devon as he moved right up against Pterano's chest.

This caused the brown flyer to gawk in astonishment. "Unbelievable..." He said, muttering. "Pterano... just what did you do to him?" he asked, hardly believing his eyes.

Rinkus too shook Devon's hand. "As said earlier, I'm Rinkus, very nice to meet you. You should like it here... provided of course your past doesn't get in the way too much." the pink rhamphorhyncus motioned with his head over to Sierra, who was shaking his own head.

"Or maybe it's Devon." Sierra was still murmuring, trying to figure this all out in his head.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 23, 2011, 05:33:33 PM
Redback and Tero looked back to see Luke following them.

"Sure, come on."

As soon as they were out of the cave, Tero spread his slightly tattered wings and took to the air. Redback grinned up at him.

"Heheh, that Tero. You can never tell what's going on in his head. That blank face, plus he's not talked for years, not since...well, the accident."

The sharptooth's face grew deadly serious for a moment as he watched his friend in the sky. But the moment passed quickly enough as he looked to Luke

"Truth is, I'm not that hungry... I'm just not great with situations like...well, you saw what it was like. Emotions runnin' high, fights breakin' out all over the place. Not my thing, you know?"

Tero landed by his side an nudged him. Redback nodded to him. "Say, Luke. You think those flyers back there would want to meet another friend of ours... Well, friend, or friends, depending on what mood you catch him in. But anwyays, what do you think?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 23, 2011, 06:59:41 PM
Devon buried his head into Pterano's chest again, placing his hand on his shoulder. Pterano couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't be frightened, son." he cooed in that same fatherly voice that again caught everyone else off guard, not even caring if Sierra could hear or not. ( :lol I sense Sierra's gunna be very angry...:lol ) "Come on out. Rinkus won't bite."

That caused Devon to pop his beak out, staring at Rinkus in curiosity like a hatchling would do. "Hi," he managed to squeak out.

"Don't you worry, Devon." Pterano told the younger flyer in his arms. "Rinkus and I will protect you from Sierra."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 23, 2011, 08:14:11 PM
"Grrrr! He's NOT your son!" Sierra cut in, trying to remind them of that. "He's MY son! Devon..." Sierra said, trying to get his attention.

Rinkus gulped a little at Pterano volunteering him to protect Devon, but realized if he was being forced to choose sides, he may as well go with Pterano in this, for Jared's sake. Jared was a better friend than Sierra was, and Rinkus knew that Jared would never support Sierra. So, the pink flyer nodded, and gave Devon a smile.

"That's right Devon. We shall." Rinkus stated firmly.

"Now wait a minute! Protect him from what!? I'm not gonna do anything to him!" Sierra exclaimed, brushing a wing back behind him to emphasize his point.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 23, 2011, 08:33:53 PM
"We don't know that." Pterano snapped back, tightening his arms around the frightened boy. "All I know, you might hurt him, or worse!"

Devon shedded a tear, gazing up at Pterano with fright in his eyes. "I wanna get outta here..."

Pterano stared down at him, gazing into the blue flyer's eyes. It was then that he had realized he had forgotten all about Artie and the kid. She had to be around here somewhere, he thought to himself. "Alright." Pterano whispered, but just loud enough for everyone else to hear before turning towards Rinkus. "Devon and I will go find Artie. Everyone, stay right where you are."

The red and blue flyer finally broke the hug, spreaded their wings, and took off to the sky.

Following the path leading away from the cave, Luke nodded. "Bringing someone else could soften the atmosphere. And now there's kids in the cave... I'm not so good around kids..."

Glancing at Tero, Luke frowned. "An accident, you said? Sorry if it's not my place to ask, but... what happened?"

 

Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 24, 2011, 07:55:56 AM
Redback gulped audibly. He knew this was a rather sensitive topic for Tero, and he was brooding and unforgiving on a good day! He looked nervously to the flyer as he walked by his side. Tero simply rolled his eyes and gave a nod.

With relief, Redback smiled at him and lowered his head by Luke. "Hop on. I'm gonna go get this friend of mine, I'll tell ya on the way."

As Luke perched on his shoulders, Redback set off, Tero in tow, and told his story as he walked.

"Well, a couple years back, me and Tero didn't know eachother at all, we were both lone dinosaurs, out in the Beyond. Of course, back then, I was a real monster. Pure sharptooth, savage, feral, eating anyone who looked at me wrong. The one day, I ran into Tero. He was perched up on a hill, just lookin' out at the Beyond. Well, I saw him as easy prey and I tried to grab him. But he wasn't one to go down easily, eh Tero?"

The flyer nodded.

"Well, we must've kept the fight up for days! We chased and hunted and fought eachother all across the land. Eventually, we got so tired, we just both collapsed and called it quits. We've been friends ever since.
So, we joined up, each protecting and helping the other. I protected him from sharpteeth, he taught me to talk. Back then, he wasn't exactly talkative, but he could at least speak. In fact, out of respect, we each got into eating the other's food, playing eachother's games, it was good times.
But one day, we made mistakes. Wandered into bad territory. We ran into a fast-biter."

Tero quickened his pace a little, so he went out in front.

"Well, we held our ground against the guy. But Tero wasn't quite fast enough. I managed to get the fast-biter off of him and...ahem, get rid of him, but the damage had been done. Y'see his left leg? All twisted and mangled? Yeah, the fast-biter did that to him. But something happened to Tero after that. He became grim and silent, never talking to anyone, always going off to brood, always staring off into the distance. He's never been the same since."

Redback watched his friend in front of him, as he limped ahead. He was as graceful as always in the sky, but on the ground, he always had that slight hobble and that odd stance.

Tero stopped, and pointed ahead. Taking to the sky, he glided above them for a moment.

"Ah, Zin must be up and about. We're here."

After hearing the story behind Redback and Tero's friendship, Luke let out a breath shakily. "Wow... I thought me and Jared had it bad when we were trying to survive out here. You hunted each other for days? I'm glad I'm on your good sides..." Looking at Tero's wounded leg, Luke felt a surge of respect. He could count the number of fast-biter survivors he knew on one claw.

Curious about Zin, Luke stood higher up on Redback. "Is Zin another of your friends from.. ah... back in the days?" he asked, scanning the horizon. " I don't see anyone out there..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 24, 2011, 02:21:53 PM
"Well, sorta. We've known old Zin for a while, but we haven't seen them for a year of two. I wonder how the old longfinger's doing."

The trio rounded a corner, and there before them stood a massive cave opening. Tentatively stepping towards the mouth of the cave, Redback let out an echoing shout.

"HEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ZIN YOU OLD THING, YOU IN THERE?!"

Silence prevailed for a few seconds, but then something stirred in the cave. A gentle thud, thud, thud heralded the footsteps of something big.

Tero landed down next to Redback and Luke, who stood still as Zin came out.

If Luke thought Redback was a big fellow, he was astounded by Zin. Almost twice as tall as the sharptooth, he was a strange looking thing. His legs and tail were similar to those of a sharptooth, as was his gait, though his age left him stooping almost parallel to the ground. His upper body was like that of a longneck, with the bulky torso and long neck, both wrinkled and battered by time.
But strangest of all were his arms. They were similar in build to those of a sharptooth as well, but longer and with three fingers on each hand. But to top it all off, each finger ended in a massively long claw, which was so long it reached from his body to the ground, with one hand of claws dragging behind him, the other held out in front, the claws sticking into the ground to support him like a walking stick.

"Keep yer voice down, we're coming! Now, er, who is it?"

"It's your old friend Redback, Zin." Redback called up in a loud voice, annunciating each word slowly, as if talking to a deaf person. "Tero and I have come to visit!"

Zin lowered his head down to their level and eyed them with a smile "Well now, Redback you young scallywag! You haven't visited us for so long, we were wondering if our old eyes would ever see you again. And Tero, how are you? Still as quiet as ever, lad?"

Tero nodded, even giving the slightest hint of a tight smile.

Zin stepped in closer "Ah, and I see you have someone new."

Redback looked back at Luke, still perched on his shoulders. "Ah yes, this is Luke, Zin. He's a new friend of ours. We're staying with him and a group of his flyer friends."

[Once again, in case you are unsure, Zin is a Therizinosaurus.]

"Whoa..." Luke gawped up at the huge figure in front of him, his beak hanging open. He'd never seen anyone like this before, who seemed assembled from many different creatures. Even with Zin bending over, even standing on top of Redback, Luke still had to tilt his head back to look at the old man. Then he realised that Zin was gazing at him, and closed his beak with a snap.

Luke smiled and cleared his throat nervously. "Hi," he said. Leaning forwards, he extended his claw as if offering it to shake, then realised everything on Zin was too big to shake. He settled for patting him on the arm instead. "Pleased to meet you Zin," he said, following Redback's lead and pronouncing each word clearly so the old man could hear. "You said us? Are there others in this cave?"

About time I updated this story. Now where was I? Oh yes, like Pterano said in my story, "I'm getting old!"  :lol  Any way, ONTO THE STORY!!!!!!!!! :lol

------------------------------------

Pterano landed on a near by cliff, leaning against the wall and panting as Devon landed beside him. "Are you okay?" the blue flyer asked him, concerned.

"Yeah, I could use some water though." the older flyer returned as he slid himself into a seat against the wall.

"Funny, I just happened to come across this wet treestar..." Devon handed the older flyer a dripping wet treestar.

"Devon, you're a lifesaver." Pterano said as he squeezed the treestar so water can drip into his mouth. "Thank you."

"Pterano? Guys?"

That caused the two flyers to crane their necks towards the female voice. There stood a blue flyer with a child in her arms. "Oh, and who might this be, Pterano?"

"Pterano grabbed Devon by the shoulders and nudged him in front. "This here is my son, Devon...okay, he isn't really my biological son, but I did adopt him." Devon smiled in great admiration at Pterano. All of a sudden, he felt the strength to stand up to his cruel father, Sierra once and for all.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, miss..." Devon shook her hand, but he couldn't figure out what to call her.

"This is my new friend, Artie." Pterano introduced, placing a hand on the blue flyer's shoulder.

"Hi there," She shook his hand. "So what brings you two here?"

"We came to inform you that it is safe to come back to the cave." Pterano replied firmly.

"Oh, okay. Shall we get going then?"

"Umm..." Pterano then remembered about the little fight he and Sierra had, and how scared Devon was. "You two go ahead, Devon and I will stay a little while."

She nodded, not wanting to question his plan, for she could see in his eyes that there was something Pterano and Devon had to get off their chests. She took off with the child on her back, leaving the two flyers to their thoughts.

As the child held onto Artie's back and could hear her heartbeat, and after hearing her say she wouldn't abandon him... it gave him strength. A smile slowly began to spread across his face, and eventually he began to cry tears of joy. For the first time... in a long time the child felt like he had someone he could look up to for guidance and comfort. But then as he laid against her back he felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly remembered something important. He had several flashbacks to another herd he'd been banished from and he quivered in trepidation. 'If they figure out my secret.... I'll be all alone again... I don't want that to happen!' thought the child to himself. Then as in a moment of pure revelation he remembered among the taunts and insults he was called when with the other herds, and his nickname came back to the front of his mind.

"M-my name... my name is... F-Fury..." said the young Archaeopteryx with a sad almost remorseful sigh.

*Oh no! I'm confused now. :wacko  :wacko  I don't know where i'm at. There's so MUCH going on. I need help. Did I go back to the cave, or have I been there the whole time. Can anyone help me out and tell me where I am and who is with me. I really wanted to show Devon that i'm really gentle and friendly and won't hurt him, but I can't if I don't know where I am in the story.  :( *

Can anyone please help me out and tell me where everyone's at?  :(

((Pterano and Devon took off to find Artie, which they did, along with the new character, Fury. Luke is with Tero, Zin, and Redback, some distance away, and you are with Rinkus and Sierra on the ledge. Hope that helps.))

Jared stood on the cliff outside the cave with Rinkus and Sierra. When Artie returned to the cave and landed on the ledge with Fury, he was surprised that Pterano and Devon weren't with her.

"Hey, Artie! You're back :) . Uh oh. where's Pterano and Devon? are they both ok?."  :( said Jared as he frowned sadly. He really wanted to get to know Devon more and show him that he was a kind and friendly flyer and meant no harm. Then, Jared noticed Fury.

"Oh. Who's this little flyer you have with you, Artie? Can you tell me, Rinkus, and Sierra a little about him?" asked the tan rhamphorhynchus curiously.

Redback chuckled a bit "Nah, that's just how he talks."

The massive dinosaur held a handful of claws up as he said "Oh... we haven't had visitors in such a long time...So, we started to talk to ourselves."

The sharptooth muttered quietly to Luke "He talks like that to make it seem like there are more people with him. Makes him feel less lonely. Poor old fool."

Speaking up, he called to Zin "So, Zin. We were wonderin' if you'd be interested in joining us over by the caves. There's food, and a whole bunch of flyers. I'm sure you'll like them."

Tero perched ontop of Zin's head, looking down at him. Zin looked up at Tero, then down at Redback and Luke. Smiling, he nodded.

"You really think we could? Well, sure!" He lowered his tail and beckoned with his free hand "Climb aboard! We'll do the walkin' for ya!"

(You did say the tagging along half my OC sibling was ok too right Jrd? :) Not sure who they will or should run into first)

Petrie was out exploring in the Mysterious Beyond yet again, only this time neither Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Chomper, Ruby or even Ducky were with him.

The little flyer had taken off all on his own. Well, not completely all on his own.

"Petrie! Getting yourself lost out here is one thing, you're not suppose to lose me too!" the light blue flyer hatchling following him cried out.

All of Petrie's siblings generally stayed near the nest, so he was more than a bit surprised that his sister, Harper, had followed him out on this trip, but as she said, it was mainly to get him to turn back, something he'd said he wouldn't do.

"We not lost, and you not have to come" he shot back, trying to not sound annoyed, but all his siblings had a way of rubbing him wrong at times, and Harper's way was what he'd call just bossy.

"I can't see you leave and let you just take off alone!" Harper said, "Mom would so be mad, and if you think I don't know why you're out here you'd be wrong again".

She sighed and her voice softened, "Petrie...it's not even been a few cold times yet, Uncle Pterano...doesn't get to come back for a while so...finding him's...not gonna change anything".

Harper thought her uncle was ok all in all, and his stories were interesting, but she was so her mom's little girl and listened very close to everything her mom said, and her mom said he was irresponsible and other stuff. Petrie looked up to him though, alot, and it had Harper worried her brother might get hurt.

Petrie ignored what his sister said, just muttering a small, "That not why me out here...". He kept flying on, his sister following, looking around almost more scared than he would be at all the mist and stuff and wishing she was back at the Great Valley where they should be.

Luke flew up to join Tero. "Thanks for the lift, Zin," he called down, balancing himself on Zin's shoulders. "The others aren't that far away. Just keep following this path," he continued, pointing to where the craggy cliffs wound around them.

As they left the cave, a newly formed wave of fog washed over them. Luke shivered and pulled his wings around him as he felt the dampening condensation. "So, Zin, did you look after these two when they were younger? Or was it another case of hunting each other until you got tired?"

As he waited for a reply, Luke thought he heard the voices of two kids arguing, passing over them. He tilted his head, but couldn't hear anything else.

Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 25, 2011, 05:35:02 PM
Zin chuckled "Nah, not really. We just met up one day. I was wandering along, and I stumbled upon them sleeping..."

"You got it backwards old man, we snuck up on you!" Redback retorted in mock-indignation.

Zin chuckled again and continued "Well, anyways, whoever snuck up on whoever, we saw eachother, and well, We guess we just sort of connected..."

Redback picked it up "Well, I saw the guy, and I though to myself, there's no way me and Tero could bring him down, so what's the point in fighting him?"

"And we've been friends ever since. But he hasn't visited us for a long time..."

"Sorry about that Zin." Redback replied "Things just keep comin' up."

Zin sighed gently, as he stomped slowly on down the canyon.

"Yeah, they've decided to stay behind for a little while." Artie replied, taking the child into her arms once again. "And this here is Fury."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last two hours was spent fishing and flying together with Devon for father son bonding, even though they weren't really father and son. Pterano stared off into the sunset, sighing in sadness. Something was definitely on his mind...

"Pterano?"

The red flyer craned his neck to see the blue flyer behind him. "Are you okay?" Devon asked in complete worry. "What's wrong?"

Pterano couldn't help but chuckle. Cheez, this kid could read minds, couldn't he? "Nothing, I'm just thinking..."

"Is it about the herd?" Pterano's point exactly.

"Umm...yeah." He sighed again. Devon put an arm around the older flyer and laid his head on his shoulder.

"It's not your fault, you know."

"It is, unfortunately. I should've taken responsibility like a real leader would." Pterano sighed once again. "All those dinos died because I was too blind to see my mistakes. Familes torn apart, children becoming orphans, husbands and wives becoming widows and widowers all because of me. It's just too hard to bare."

Devon just hugged him, not knowing what to do or say as Pterano went on. "And then I nearly got those children killed when we went after a magical stone that never existed in the first place. How much stupider can I be?"

"I'm sorry, Pterano."

"Don't be, my son." Pterano replied, patting Devon's arm. "You weren't there, you had nothing to do with that." He gave him a fatherly kiss to the fore head. "I need you to promise me something."

“Any thing for my best friend.”

Pterano chuckled, wrapping his wing around Devon’s shoulders, pulling him close. “Promise me that you won’t make the same mistakes I made.” He started. “I don’t want to see you go through what I did. I mean, you’re a good kid. You don’t deserve that.”

“I promise,” Devon told the older flyer, looking deep into his dark blue eyes to let him know he meant it.

“That’s my boy.” He continued resting his beak on his head, protecting the blue flyer for a few minutes. “I don’t know what I would do without you. You have been a wonderful son to me, if not, the best son I would ever dream of. You’ve shown me that I was not alone in this world and I couldn’t thank you enough for that.” He kissed his forehead again. “I love you…”

“I love you too…Dad…” Devon replied, only to feel Pterano’s arms around him pull him closer to his chest.

“You make me so proud…” Pterano drifted off as he continued to hold the blue flyer. A few minutes drew by as silence surrounded them until…

“Ready to get back to the cave?” Devon started. “I’m pretty sure everyone’s getting worried about us.

“Well it is getting late. But are you sure about this?”

“Yeah, besides, I know you wouldn’t let anything happen to me.” The blue flyer winked at him. “Just for the record, that’s one of the main things that I admire about you.”

Pterano chuckled. “Oh you…” He stroked his head before getting up on his feet and reaching his hand out for Devon’s.

“Let’s get outta here, shall we?” Devon told the aging flyer before they took off.

As it seemed they hit rather than avoided the fog about, Petrie shielded with his wing a bit, but became a bit crooked in flight due to it, ending up tumbling down.

"Petrie!" Harper called, immedietly darting down after her brother to try and catch him. She managed to grab his feet but couldn't pull him up and instead the two continued tumbling down until they bumped into something and then kept tumbling, landing at the feet of something.

Groggily the two sat up, shaking their heads. "Are you ok?" Harper asked, standing and helping Petrie up.

Her brother nodded, spotted something behind her apparently, and promptly screamed. "SHARPTOOTH! a-and...SOMETTHING ELSE!", he began to scramble back, not even noticing that the creature he spotted had flyers with it unharmed.

Harper stiffened at this proclimation and slowly turned to face whatever it was they'd found.

(They are still somewhere near even if headed back towards the cave right? Thought I read it that way, if not then the kids just followed without knowing it  from where Luke heard them :D)

Pterano and Devon landed in the cave. "Oh there you are!" Artie said, throwing her arms around Pterano's neck. "I was worried sick!"

Pterano chuckled, hugging her back. He was about to say something when...

"SHARPTOOOOOOOOOTH!!!"

He recognized that voice any where. He flew outside to see none other than...

"Petrie! Harper!" he shouted, earning their attention.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on May 25, 2011, 11:18:32 PM
Almost before Harper could fully take in the group she was looking at that had startled Petrie, both hatchlings heard the cry and turned that way next, their senses trying to take in all the shocks hitting them at once.

What were the odds! Harper thought.

Petrie on the other hand couldn't think much beyond giant spurt of joy!

"Uncle Pterano!" the hatchling launched over the distance over to the cave to hug Pterano's beak in utter joy. "Me find you, oh me tell Harper me would but she say Mysterious Beyond too big and...oh me happy to see you and not have to wait five long Cold Times!".

He glanced down to his sister as Harper, still glancing curiously at the sharptooth and big creature she realized had yet to attack, flew over. "See, me tell you!" he told her.

"Hi Uncle Pterano" she smiled shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed now since she had been the doubter for this trip saying they wouldn't make it or find Pterano. Despite anything her mom said on him, she was happy to see him though.

"Um...are they dangerous?" she indicated the group of sharpteeth and flyers she now noticed and pondered how they must think she and Petrie every sporadic young ones with Petrie first screaming and then rushing over to ecstatically hug Pterano.

After hearing the Jared ask his question, Fury as his name suggested having only negative experiences to draw upon from previous herds and their reactions to him he snapped his beak in the air and gave a warning growl. "I don't have to tell you anything about me!" he cried feeling another sense of anger and fear well up inside his heart. He simply didn't want to be abandoned again, but then he remembered Artie.

He looked up at her and smiled again. He then sighed as he turned to face Jared again. "I'm sorry." he replied. "I just don't want to be left alone here in the mysterious beyond again... it... so lonely out here... with no one to help me."

Post by: Jrd89 on May 26, 2011, 02:35:09 AM
"Aww, it's all right, Fury. You won't be so lonely anymore with us around, and we'll help you whenever you need it." Said Jared, trying to make Fury feel better. Then, he wondered... who were the two flyers that Pterano was talking about?

"Who are Petrie and Harper?" asked Jared, opening his wings and shrugging his arms. "I guess they must be related to Pterano." Then, he walked right behind Devon, and very softly and gently patted him on the shoulder with his tan claw, and softly said to the blue cearadactylus..

"Don't worry, Devon. Your dad'll be all right. He's very brave. I know he'll find Petrie and Harper..whoever they are." said Jared, still puzzled as to who the two flyers Pterano mentioned were.

"It's ok. Don't be afraid of me. I'm a very nice and friendly long tailed flyer like my pink pal Rinkus. I like you, and I think you're a really nice flyer. :) Are we friends now, Devon?" asked Jared, looking right at Devon with his blue eyes and a warm, friendly smile.

Luke saw the familiar group of flyers herded by the entrance of the cave. "We've arrived, Zin," he said. Standing taller, he announced, "We're back, guys! And look who we've found - this is Zin..." He trailed off as he noticed two small flyers on the floor in front of them, who then screamed and propelled themselves towards Pterano. There was also another small flyer, covered in feathers, who seemed altogether unconcerned by their presence, standing next to Artie and Jared. "This place is like some kind of kid magnet..." he muttered incredulously.

"Hey, there," he called down to the two small flyers huddling next to Pterano. Gesturing at Redback and the huge dinosaur he was standing on, he continued, "It's ok. These two aren't gonna eat you. Probably."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on May 26, 2011, 05:03:10 PM
Zin leaned his massive head in to get a good look at the little ones, who only cowered behind Pterano even more. He simply smiled at them and chuckled his low chuckle.

"Heh, you needn't fear, young'uns, we ain't gonna eat ya. And Redback over here... Well, maybe if he was hungry."

Redback and Zin laughed at this, With the huge old beast jabbing his claws into the ground with each laugh. Redback added "Heh, yeah. But seriously, you're safe around us, we're content with greenfood and crawlers for the time being."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 26, 2011, 06:59:54 PM
Pterano chuckled, cradling his nephew and niece in his arms. "Don't you worry, they won't eat you. Even if they tried, they can't get past me." He smirked at Petrie, who just stared up at him in great admiration. Pterano lifted the little flyers onto his back and flew into the cave. "Every one, I'd like you to meet my totally awesome nephew, Petrie," he pointed to the little flyer now on his shoulders, who stood up in pride. "And my very important niece, Harper." (Excellent name choice Mama's Girl! :yes )

"Oh, so you're the famous Petrie you keep talking about." Devon walked up to the old flyer, placing his arm on Pterano's shoulder. "Sup, I'm Devon and I'm his son." (Oh boy, Sierra's gonna be very ticked off right now...:lol ) They smiled at eachother in pride. Pterano remembered about Artie as he walked towards her and put an arm around her. "And this here is my new friend Artie," he looked at the bundle in her arms. "And this here is...AWWWW!!! Hi there! What's your name?" Pterano suddenly realized how cute the child was.

"His name's Fury." Artie informed.

"...Fury." Pterano finished.

Post by: Mama's Girl on May 26, 2011, 07:36:51 PM
((Thanks, yeah the second I thought of it I realized how flyerish it sounded without being too...over the top ya know :D)

Petrie and Harper both gave a small smile to Luke and then his friends, their words did help put them at ease a bit. Harper was still a bit bugged by Luke saying "probably" wouldn't eat them, but then it was most likely like a joke.

She smiled, "Well thankyou and...uh, then we're glad to meet ya, right Petrie?" she jabbed her brother who was being held over on the otherside of Pterano to tell him to say hi. "Uh yeah" Petrie gave a small smile.

As they were introduced, Petrie wasn't so shocked by his uncle's flattering of him, but Harper was a bit. She'd always felt like she got lost within the group of her other siblings. She smiled though.

Petrie's shock came when Devon walked up to both introduce himself and say how he already knew all about him. "Oh...well, then hi and me happy to meet you if you...Uncle Pterano's...son?" the young flyer didn't hide any of his confusion on this.

Harper smiled, "I think he 'dopted him" she told her brother, "and Hi" she nodded to first Devon and glanced to this Miss Artie and the kid she carried. She smiled to both of them too, "Hi".

She recalled something she heard her mom say and giggled a bit, "So you're Uncle Pterano's new friend and one who's a girl? Well that's good, my mom kept saying he needed one of those" she smiled back at her uncle, in typical childish innocence unaware of just what possibly embaressing information she was passing along.

Jared waved hello to Petrie and Harper.

"Hi, Petrie and Harper. I'm Jared." then he turned to Pterano.

"Pterano, you have a wonderful little nephew and niece. They're going to be wonderful to have around. He happily said to the red flyer.

Fury looked up at Pterano while still being held in Artie's embrace. Being kept so close to someone who actually cared about him seemed to bring out the best in him. The child continued to look at Pterano and smiled. "Hello sir. Nice to meet you." he said aloud with a child-like grin. He then turned his attention to both Petrie and Harper.

Having never seen another hatchling that liked him Fury was unsure how to act. In a moment of awkwardness Fury waved to the pair of hatchling flyers. "H-hi..." he commented with a quiver to his voice betraying how truly nervous he felt about this situation.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Back at the cave, Rinkus was trying to calm Sierra down. Everyone else had gone off for the moment, and Rinkus was considering joining them, but first he wanted to ensure that Sierra was at least in a semi-sedate mood before he did so.

"Now just please try and stay calm. I know it must make you very angry, Pterano being with your son and all, but I'm sure..."

"That failure's stolen everything from me!" Sierra snapped, shoving Rinkus away as he sat down on a rock. "He took our chance at getting that Stone of Cold... Fire Thingy... and he kept stopping my chance for revenge on those overgrown eggs! And he took my son. MY son!" Sierra bared his teeth, and snarled at Rinkus.

"Yes, I know... but it seems Devon has made up his mind, yes? I'm going to try and find them."

"Then go! Get out of here! You don't understand either! Just get away!" Sierra barked, pushing Rinkus back with both hands.

Rinkus said nothing further, shaking his head sadly as he turned and flapped into the air, taking to the skies to try and find out where the others had gotten off to. Sierra would calm down... or at least Rinkus hoped he would calm down. Perhaps some time alone would do him good.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 27, 2011, 06:01:06 PM
Looking up, Luke noticed Rinkus flying down towards them.

Waving to catch his attention, he said "Hey, where's Sierra? Doesn't he want to spend any time with his son? It looks like Pterano's getting most of Devon's attention..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 27, 2011, 06:08:56 PM
"Er yes, well, you see..." Rinkus glided down to the others, and flapped his wings in order to effect a safe landing. "I'm not sure Sierra is taking any of this very well at the moment. And on top of that, I'm not quite sure that Devon and Sierra had an exactly... balanced relationship to begin with." the pink rhamphorhyncus stated, giving Devon a smile as he did so.

"As it is, I think he'll be holed up in the cave for a bit. So what has everyone been doing in the meantime, eh?" he asked, looking around at the gathered group, and noticing there were a few new additions as well.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 27, 2011, 09:52:46 PM
Devon just smiled at the tan rhamphorhynchus. "Well you seem like a nice flyer yourself. Sure! I'd love to be friend with you!" He put an arm around the tan flyer. "So tell me. What do you like to do in yer spare time?" The two walked into the cave.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Pterano just smiled at the little kid. "Well I'm glad to see you to. My name is Pterano. Welcome aboard!"

Artie couldn't help but chuckle at her friend and Fury. They just looked so cute. Pterano sure loves kids now doesn't he?

Post by: Mama's Girl on May 28, 2011, 12:11:41 AM
Both little hatchlings smiled to Jared as well, he was definately friendly and their Uncle Pterano seemed to have found a lot of new friends. Petrie and Harper were both glad since it probably meant he hadn't been too lonely.

Noticing how nervous the other hatchling, Fury, seemed, Harper was about to try and say something else when someone else entering the cave caught her attention, but more of Petrie's.

Harper had never really seen much if anything of her uncle's ex-henchmen, just hearing of them mostly, but Petrie definately remembered them! With an all but squeak and jumped up and darted behind Pterano, "W-what you doing back with mean flyers?" he asked, peaking past Pterano's wing fearfully before darting back down.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 28, 2011, 01:51:17 AM
Fury was confused, but what else could he be. He'd never met any of these flyers before, but even without knowing who they were, he could still feel the tension in the air as he saw Petrie hide behind Pterano. He shifted his body around and was about to ask a question when he gave a short cry in pain. Fury then placed a claw against his body and could feel a scar running down his belly.

Ignoring the pain for the moment, he turned and asked Petrie and Harper. "What are you talking about? Your uncle knows these guys? And why are you saying they're bad?" He stopped speaking for a moment to gaze at Rinkus and smiled. "He seems nice to me." continued Fury with another smile.

"Well I caught up with them one night and found that they were wounded by the smoking mountains. So being the very important creature I really am," Pterano explained, being his total ego self for Petrie's and Harper's amusement. "I took them in and gave them a second chance. Rinkus has changed alot since then. He's become a very nice flyer. But Sierra..." Pterano paused. "Well let's just say that he hasn't changed one bit. Though he is growing a bit less violent. I'm totally grateful for that."

Fury now had a mild understanding of the situation and he nodded his head to show that he understood, but as he went to respond he took a deep breath, too deep as it caused his wound to flare in red hot pain. The young Archaeopteryx crumpled to the floor holding his belly in pain. The sudden flash of pain brought with it a momentary relapse of a the fight that gave Fury the scar.

Fury was standing in front of a herd of spike tails, and they were glaring at the child as if he'd done something wrong. Fury looked around with a mixture of fear and anger. "H-how dare you do this to me?! You asked me for the truth and I've told you everything.... and even now... you still want to send me away?! WHY?!?" cried Fury.

The Spiketail leader laughed as he replied, in a gruff and uncaring voice. "Who said you get to leave with your life... you're going to die here and now! KILL THE FREAK!" he shouted. Fury fought as well as he could, even flapping his wings and trying to stay in the sky, but one lucky swing of those spiked tails, was all it took to bring the glider down to the ground and after another few minutes was left in the hot, burning sun of the Mysterious Beyond to die.


Fury opened his eyes from the flashback and took another few breaths and looked down at the ground not wanting to see how the other flyers were going to react to his strange behavior.

Jared thought..."Well, Devon, I love to go fishing. I'm a GREAT fisher. :)  And I also enjoy flying around checking out neat places to see. I know i'm shy, but i'm a really nice, fun flyer to be with. You and I are gonna get along great!"  :yes  
 
"Now, Devon, what do you like to do?" asked Jared, patting Devon gently on the shoulder.

Petrie did peek out and listen as Pterano told them of how he'd found and was even helping Rinkus and Sierra. It...it did sound like a nice thing to do, and even like something that could be used for proof that Pterano had changed when he could come back, maybe.

"Oh...well then...ok" Petrie came out and glanced over to Rinkus again, trying for a small smile, but knowing the might still take some time to get use to. He didn't really much like to hear what his uncle said on Sierra, who sounded the same. But then he figured Uncle Pterano could probably take care of him, like he'd said he would with the sharpteeth, who also turned out to be nice.

Harper was about to say something when she noticed Fury cry out in pain, for the second time it seemed, and she noticed a scar. She flapped down and looked at him as he seemed to be dazed off but then came back. "Are you ok, Fury?" she asked when he opened his eyes.

"Well, I like to go fishing as well. But it's no fun without Pterano around." Devon sighed. "He and I would catch loads of fish for both lunch and dinner. So we could save some for dinner as well. We would have a blast doing it. I'm not kidding, we would either be having a huge water fight, flying and looking for fish or just relaxing on the beach, eating the fish and telling jokes. In fact there was one time in which Pterano and I were crazy enough to go fishing in an upcoming storm. It was fun, until Pterano nearly got hit by lightning and decided we should go home with what we got." Devon sighed again, staring at the older flyer that was watching over Artie and Fury. "I'm telling ya, he's the best father ever. I actually have someone I can count on because of him."

Fury didn't want to admit it, but to hear the pure concern in Harpers voice was soothing for some reason the child couldn't explain. He looked at Harper for several moments before opening his mouth to speak. "Y-yeah... I'll be alright. It's just a scar... still hurts when I touch it though." He slowly stood up and sighed. "Harper, is it normal to think that no one cares about me?" he asked openly. Truth be told Fury wasn't sure why he was being so open to this group of flyers, but something about them gave him hope.

Tero, Zin and Redback all looked to eachother, feeling slightly awkward about the whole situation.

"Hey, uh, fellas? What do you say we go get somethin' to eat?"

Tero nodded, and looked down to Zin, who nodded too.

"Hmm, sounds like a good idea. We haven't eaten in a while."

The trio made a hasty exit from the ledge of the cave entrance, and headed over to the small grove of trees. Tero flew to the top of the tree, picking out the choices treestars, while Redback foraged for crawlers, and the occasional lizard, which he covertly chomped in one go. Zin, meanwhile, put his massive claws to good use, stripping the branches, and feeding the handfuls of treestars into his mouth.

Watching Devon relaxing with Pterano, Luke couldn't help but feel bad for Sierra, who still hadn't emerged from the cave. Without a word, he flew up to the entrance of the cave and peered in. He couldn't see Sierra anywhere.

"Hey, Sierra?" He called out, stepping inside tentatively, "Are you ok? Rinkus said you weren't exactly happy with what's going on between Devon and Pterano..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on May 28, 2011, 08:59:22 PM
Harper had never heard of such a question before as the one Fury asked, so she had to think for a bit. Was it normal to think no one...well not really, but could she really just tell him that, like that?

"Well..." she began, "I...it's not good, to think like that, I mean, you gotta have someone you can...look to and trust; well don't have to, I mean you should, it..." the flyer sighed, she was messing this all up.

"I guess it would be normal and understandable if something happened to you to make you think like that" she instead answered, "but...well you have people to care for you, since I've noticed Miss Artie here does and, and I think you already hooked my uncle into watching you too" she smiled glancing back to the two adults.

"And...well I already think of ya as a friend" she shrugged, "if that's ok...so, yeah I'd say you have alot of people to care for you...if you want".

She wasn't sure where this 'grand speech' had come from and would never have thought she'd be inspiring or anything, but had just spoken honestly and from what she actually felt, even if being still a kid she didn't have everything figured out either.

Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 29, 2011, 03:10:47 AM
Fury listened to Harpers answer to his question, and truth be told, he not only agreed with what she said, but something in his heart clicked and a warm, caring, almost burning feeling filled his body. The more he thought about it the more and more Harper was right.

Several tears fell from his eyes and slid down his face as he slowly began to cry. These weren't tears of sorrow, but indeed tears of joy. Fury for the first time in a long, long time felt as if there weas somewhere he finally belonged.

Fury's next move was unexpected even for him, but he reached forward and hugged Harper tightly as he continued to cry and sob. "T-thank you... thank you for giving me hope." he said inbetween sobs.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 29, 2011, 08:50:08 AM
Pterano patted Fury's head as Artie placed a hand on his shoulder. "Harper's right. You do have someone you could look up to. In fact you have lots!" he chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." He turned to his young niece and smiled at her proudly. "A speech well done, Harper. I must say I am very proud of you." He placed a fatherly hand on her shoulder, rubbing it lightly.

Sierra heard Luke approaching from the entrance of the cave, though did not reveal himself at this time as he was quite far in the back. What did that green flyer want now?

He snarled a little, though mostly to himself, and turned his head (as his back was to the cave entrance) and called back out. "Am I OK? No! I'm not OK!" he snapped. "What are you doing back here anyway? Don't you have... other things to do?" he asked, pausing as he couldn't think of better words to say.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on May 29, 2011, 10:57:22 AM
Harper at first looked shocked as Fury rushed over and hugged her, but then she smiled hugging her new friend back, "You're welcome" she said.

As Pterano smiled back at her and laid a hand on her shoulder, Harper glanced down but smiled at the praise. She knew that she counted her mom being proud of her as the most important thing ever, but she never would have imagined that Pterano saying he was proud of her would make her feel so good either.

"Yeah, where that come from?" Petrie asked his sister.

"Oh hush" Harper gave him a small playful push.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 29, 2011, 04:38:13 PM
Luke paused at Sierra's question. "Other things to do?" He shrugged. "No." Stepping closer, he continued; "I just thought maybe you should talk to Pterano about how you feel."

Then he stopped. He grinned slyly, realising he could have some fun here. "Or maybe you should show him how you feel. Because it doesn't look like words are gonna quite do the trick..." Smirking, Luke crossed his wings and watched Sierra to observe his reaction.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 29, 2011, 07:21:29 PM
Sierra heard Luke's words, and at first, was going to brush the flyer off, but then he paused. "Wait a minute." He murmured, turning this over in his head. He pushed himself off the rock he had been sitting on, and turned to face the green flyer.

"And just what do you mean 'show him how I feel'?" he asked, raising a brow. "What are you driving at?" he asked, his curiosity piqued now.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 30, 2011, 04:51:33 AM
"Well, I don't think Pterano is showing you the respect you so obviously deserve. Trying to replace you as Devon's father?" Luke tutted. "What a thing to do. Sometimes, it's best to let your fists do the talking. Otherwise, Pterano could just continue to walk all over you..."

He sighed. "Ah, but then you might drive Devon even further away. In that case, it might be better to just forgive Pterano. Maybe it'll show Devon that you've changed. I guess it depends what you want - respect, or your son. I'll leave you alone to think about it."

As he sauntered out of the cave, Luke snickered. It would be interesting to see what Sierra decided to do.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 30, 2011, 09:01:46 PM
Fury smiled hearing the praise Harper was receiving and nodded his head in agreement as he let go of Harper and replied, "They're right Harper. Because of you, I don't feel so alone now. I thought that there was no more kindness here in the Mysterious Beyond."

Fury's eyes widened as he realized he could hear his belly making noise. He gave a nervous laugh as he asked sheepishly "Does anyone know where I can find some crawlers? I'm... kinda hungry."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 30, 2011, 09:49:31 PM
"Yeah... yeah!" Sierra exclaimed, gnashing his teeth and getting off of the rock he had been sitting on. "I SHOULD smack that dirty backstabber around! He hasn't been showing me any respect! Stealing my son like that! You're right!" he started striding for the cave entrance, then stopped as Luke went on.

"Wait a minute... smashing Pterano in the face might get my son angry at me? What business is it of his?" he asked, as Luke started to leave the cave. "Ugh... so my son MIGHT forgive me? Well this is just great." he murmured. "So now what I do I do?" He decided to go for a flight, and see if he could figure it out whilst slowly wandering over towards Pterano's position. He jumped of the edge of the cave, and began flying in an aimless direction, not sure yet where he was heading, only that he'd generally wind up with Pterano... and Devon, at the conclusion.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 30, 2011, 11:25:04 PM
(Uh oh, things aren't going good for Sierra. Looks like he's about to go and hurt Pterano)

Pterano chuckled. "Of course! Just fallow me!" With that, he lead every one to the forest, making absolute sure there was no vicious sharpteeth around.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on May 30, 2011, 11:48:43 PM
(I am sort of assuming stuff about movies that have already transpired and all, but hopefully it still meets up :))

"Well help ya out too, Fury" Harper said as they followed Pterano over to this forest, "we know just how to find ground crawlers from when we helped another glider friend of ours, Guido, find some".
 
Petrie nodded, "Yeah, him help me fly better for Day of the Flyers" the hatchling smiled before his smile fell to a frown as he brought this up. "Me still wish you could have been there for our Day of the Flyers" he told Pterano.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 31, 2011, 12:33:28 AM
"Me too, dear nephew," Pterano sighed in disappointment. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you..." He hung his head in shame as harsh memories began to take over. He sure wished he was there to protect his nephew. In fact, he was surprised his nephew was even talking to him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 31, 2011, 01:02:07 AM
As Fury flew behind Pterano, Petrie and Harper he gasped aloud and almost stopped flying completely as he replied with a rather harsh tone. "W-wait... I MISSED THE DAY OF THE FLYERS?!" He then quickly flapped his wings to keep up the others. "It's been... so long. I've been alone, so of course I missed the most important day for a flyer... figures." he then sighed and cast a sad look down to the ground below him. His belly rumbling only worsened his already saddened mood.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on May 31, 2011, 04:16:40 AM
"The day of the flyers?" Luke said as he beat his wings hard to catch up with the others. "I've never seen it myself - sounds like too much hard work." Glancing up at Fury, he added; "You could always go see it when it's next on."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on May 31, 2011, 11:18:21 AM
As Pterano frowned, Petrie flapped up onto his shoulder, "i-it ok, uncle" he said, "me just tell you all about it" he gave a small smile before looking kind of shy of something like it, "Me kinda change it all up".
 
Harper laughed, "Yeah and you're the only hatchlingI know who could get away with it too", she had to admit though, Petrie getting them out of the formal flight formations and into just free flying had been fun. A part of her was glad Pterano hadn't been there, since much as she would have really liked it too she and the others hadn't been the easiest on Petrie during the stress of it all.
 
"Aw Fury" she flapped over to land next to him with a smile, "Well...I'm sure we could...somehow get word to the judged how good you are, since I'm sure you are good aren't you" she encouraged tried to think up something to help but wasn't good at coming up with ideas like this, it was more what Petrie and his friends did, but she had promised to be Fury's friend and help him and she wanted to.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on May 31, 2011, 06:13:53 PM
Fury looked confused for several moments as he thought about what Harper had just said. THen he shook his head and began to luagh, and he laughed for several minutes with tears of joy running down his face. He then turned to face Harper again after his laughing had settled down, and he replied, "Oh, I can fly alright... in fact... I'm sure I could fly circles around you, Petrie and your uncle." he said with a joyous almost challenging tone in his voice. "So, any of you up for a race?" he asked with a smile.

Devon patted Jared's shoulders. "Just out of curiosity, do you look at Rinkus like a dad?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on May 31, 2011, 07:13:22 PM
Rinkus of course fully heard Devon, and glanced over at Jared now, taking his tail in his hands and wringing it a bit, something he subconsciously did when he was agitated, nervous, or excited. The pink rhamphorhynchus tried to act as if he hadn't fully heard though, but kept his ears peeled intently in Jared's direction.

Sierra meanwhile, was off flying about, angrily slapping at tree branches and trying to work out just what he was going to do when he confronted Pterano. He was smacking leaves away, swatting branches aside, and generally picking fights with defenseless pieces of wood. He wouldn't have this! Not at all! He couldn't stand for this much longer, but he was only grateful that he was out of sight of the others at the moment.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on May 31, 2011, 07:32:52 PM
"I mean, if you do," Devon continued, totally not noticing that Rinkus could hear him. "You should really tell him how you feel about him. I did that with Pterano and he and I don't regret a thing..." the blue flyer couldn't help but smile at the sky at the memory.

"You could..." Harper laughed at what she heard Fury say, "Hey I happen to be very good at following along in formation" she said back, just playing and returning some of his challenge. "and after Petrie showing us a bit about that free style flying, well you're on mister" she grinned. "Come on Petrie!" she turned to her brother.

Petrie frowned a bit, not sure if his skills were up to being put to the test like this, in an even friendly competing, and after he knew what his siblings got like when he embarrassed them, though luckily Harper had kept a lot of verbal comments on her disappointment to herself during the Day of the Flyers. "Well...me guess..." he said.

"Okay you kids," Pterano chuckled. "Just don't go wondering too far."

Fury grinned proudly as he spread his wings and crouched low to the ground. "I'm ready whenever you two are!" he commented with a toothy grin to Harper and Petrie. "And don't worry, I know you'll beth will be more than able to keep up with me." he said almost as an afterthought, but figured it would be good sportsmanship to offer a few kind words before the race began.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 01, 2011, 11:47:28 AM
"Me not..." Petrie muttered to himself about Fury's last statement. With another giggle at her brother, Harper grabbed Petrie's other wing, she'd pull him along if he didn't come. "Come on Petrie" she said with a grin, "One, two, three!" she gave the fair count off before they took off, of course letting go of Petrie as soon as they jumped so that he could fly as they took off.

***I'm gonna ask Rinkus if he and I can go fart together in a private cave that's near Pterano's cave. I'm sorry if you think it's gross. But I really would sit down and have fun farting with Rinkus if I were an LBT rhamphorhynchus. This is gonna be REALLY funny!!  We're just having fun, and it'll give Rinkus and I a chance to bond a little.***  :DD  :DD  LOL!!


Jared looked at Devon, and smiled. "Ok, Devon. I'll go over there and tell Rinkus."


Jared walked over, right up to the pink rhamphorhynchus. He was very nervous and worried that Rinkus would accept him for his uncontrollable farting problem. The tan rhamphorhynchus couldn't help it when he let loose farts unexpectedly.
 

then Jared spoke to Rinkus, smiling and wringing his tail.

"Rinkus, you've been such a nice flyer to me so far. I really like you. You've helped me feel better and calmed me down when I get very worried. I really like it that you're pink. I've never seen a pink long-tail flyer before, you're very unique.

And i'm so glad you'll give me a massage tonight before bed after I masssage you first, Then, the tan flyer got nervous and trembled a little.

"But, you see R-rinkus, there's a problem that I have that I haven't really told you or Devon that I can't help....  You see, it's my farting problem, I fart a bunch, sometimes and I can't control it. It just, happens... I can't help being a stinky flyer!"

Then Jared leaned his head on Rinkus's pink belly, and sobbed.

*Sniff!* I'm sorry, Rinkus. I can't help it or control it. I'm quite a stinker sometimes. . I hope you don't mind."


"I just feel so terrible and ashamed." said Jared, crying on Rinkus's belly. Then, his heart swelled up. "You've been such a great friend for me.. and.... and...

You're kinda like a dad to me, Rinkus!  :D  You care for me, look out for me, and try to calm me down when i'm scared and nervous. We have a few things in common. You like to gorge yourself with fish, and so do I. I want to get a big, fat belly just like you."

Then, Jared got a thought, and asked Rinkus.  :smile

"I tell you what Rinkus, can we PLEASE do this? Can we go find a place to sit down right now and just..fart?, C'mon. if we do it together, I won't be so sad anymore and I won't be so ashamed, either."

"Pretty please, Rinkus? We'll be away in privacy from Pterano and the other flyers!" said Jared, giving Rinkus a big, warm, hug!  :D  :D

Devon couldn't help but smile at the strange, yet beautiful father son moment. It reminded him so much of when he told Pterano how he felt about him and how much he truly loved him. And speaking of Pterano...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pterano did his best to fallow the hatchlings. They were so fast, that he was panting uncontrollably on the way. "Slow down, kids!" he shouted. "Uncle's not as young as he used to be!"

Luke landed beside Jared and Rinkus as they were hugging. "What's this? If you two are going somewhere, could I tag along? I have a feeling it's not safe to be near Sierra right now..." He clasped his hands and looked entreatingly at the pair of them.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 01, 2011, 07:24:35 PM
Sure, you can, if you want to Luke. Rinkus and I are gonna go to a private, empty cave that's close by Pterano's cave, sit down and fart! It'll be FUN! :lol While we fart, Rinkus and i'll talk for a little bit!

We'll go back to Pterano's cave when we're done farting.  You still wanna come, Luke? "  :DD said Jared, who was all smiles about farting in that empty cave with Rinkus.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 01, 2011, 07:29:27 PM
Devon turned to Jared, Rinkus (who make a great father son couple by the way!  :yes ) and Luke. "Okay, have fun!" He turned to his father. "Ya know...um...Dad, things don't have to be this way, ya know." he explained. (I edited this because I was feeling sorry for Sierra. Thanks alot, Pterano. :p)

Luke's beak twitched. "Farting, you say? I know your farts, Jared, and they're a force to be reckoned with." He smiled. "But I'll see if I can cope." Preparing to take off, he joked; "Do either of you know a cave with an escape route that's big enough?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 01, 2011, 08:24:28 PM
Jared noticed a cave that was close by. It was very high up like Pterano's, no sharptooth could reach it, only a flyer. and it looked pretty empty.

"THERE'S a cave guys, right there!" Jared said, flapping and pointing at the empty cave he saw. "Let's go use that one. It looks safe enough." Jared said excitedly to Rinkus and Luke. "It's WAY up high, and only a flyer could reach it. Let's go." said Jared, flying to the cave with a grin.  :)

Post by: Pterano on June 02, 2011, 10:44:42 PM
Sierra had landed, but had not been able to catch sight of Pterano. He had no idea where that slippery flyer was. He growled a little, and looked over at Rinkus, who was having his belly cried into by Jared. He grimaced as Jared mentioned their new hobby. "Great... what did I fly into?" he asked, rolling his eyes.

Rinkus wasn't sure about how best to respond at first. "Well... Jared, I'm glad you think of me that way. I really do try my best." He was older than Jared, so he could see how it would work. "I guess I just got a bit too lazy in my last few years." he said, patting his gut and then Jared's back.

"Um... I can't promise that I have anything in me, but I'll try, for your sake." he looked up at the cave. "Let's go then."

Sierra groaned in disgust, and shuffled away from them, but unwittingly brought himself by Devon. "Huh?" he asked, looking over at his son. "What... did you just call me?" he must have been hearing things, as there was no way that Devon could have just called him "dad".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 02, 2011, 10:54:52 PM
Devon tried his best to keep calm. For without Pterano around, his father might...there's not telling what his father would do. But he knew he had to be brave. "I'm not saying I'm not mad at you. You have been putting doubts into my head ever since I was a kid and abusing me as well. And I look at Pterano like a dad because he's actually held me and took care of me. But...because of how you were feeling...that you actually cared that Pterano took me in...I was expecting you wouldn't...I..." Oh dear, never before had he done anything more painful than this..."I would like to give you a second chance." He almost barfed at the thought. He hated his father, yet he felt sorry for him. Why is that? Is it because Pterano had taught him to give people a chance? Could be...

He just stood there, heart racing in his chest, pulse pumping in his neck, waiting for an answer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 02, 2011, 11:14:43 PM
Sierra looked over at Devon, not sure if he heard the flyer right. "You... what? Want to give me a second chance?" he asked, dropping his wings to his side. He really wasn't sure if he was dreaming now or not. "Why... on earth would you want to do that?" he asked, his voice low, almost a mumble of incredulity.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 02, 2011, 11:23:00 PM
"Don't ask why. It's too painful to explain." Devon rolled his eyes. "I just do. Let's leave it at that." He sighed, spreading his wings. "I'm going to find Pterano. In the mean time, think about it." And he took off.

And as he flew in Pterano's direction, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. And he knew Pterano would be proud of him as well. And yes, it was the fact that Pterano taught him to forgive others and give them a second chance. Maybe this would work out. Maybe...
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 02, 2011, 11:27:46 PM
Sierra decided to take flight as well, as he wasn't sure if he was going to feel sick or let his head keep swimming like it was was. He decided it would be somewhere in between if he could help it. He needed to clear his thoughts, and for a moment, considered chasing after Devon, to ask him more, but as he was going to find Pterano, there was no point in intruding on that.

Sierra sighed, spread his wings, and took off, going in the opposite direction of Devon, and not really sure where he'd end up. He just wanted to think, and stay by himself for a little while.

As they flew on, Harper focused on the dart of blue (?) that was Fury and where he was in relation to her position. She focused on attempting to get ahead of that position, just in friendly competition of course, but still she would win this!

Petrie had never seen his sister so determined. He put enough speed into the effort but heard Pterano's breathless call. With a little laugh he flew back closer. "Aw, come on Uncle, you not that old" he said flying beside him.

Redback looked up from his feeding, and saw the young flyers headed towards the grove. Smiling, he waved to them.

"C'mon, little guys! First one here gets a treesweet!" he shouted to them, waving the tiny pink flower in his claw.

Tero the nudged him in the side, tapping the side of his beak, as if to tell the sharptooth something. Redback put his hand to the same spot on his mouth, and felt a damp spot. Drawing his hand away, he saw a small stain of blood on his claws.

"Oh geez! Must have been from that crawly lizard!" He muttered, hastily trying to find something to get rid of the bloodstain. He had indeed indulged his carnivorous side on some small lizards he had found. Gulping down the last remnant (The tail), he saw a small pool of water at the base of the mountainside where the flyer's cave was. He dashed out of the grove, making a run for the pool.

Jared landed at the entrance of the nearby cave. He then told Luke and Rinkus,

"Guys, let's sit down close to the entrance of the cave. That way, we can exit quickly when we're finished or when smell gets to be too much to take."

Then, the tan rhamphorhynchus grinned and snickered... "All right, Rinkus and Luke...let's go in. Pick a spot to sit down against the cave wall, and *heh heh* let the farting begin!"  :)

"Hey, Pterano! Wait up!!!" Devon shouted at the red flyer and his nephew. He was going too fast as he forgot to slow down, so he flew past Pterano and Petrie. "Whoa!" he shouted, realizing he was about to hit the tree.

He switched directions just in time, flying towards Pterano. He again forgot to slow down as he rammed into the red flyer, sending them higher in the air by a few feet, then landing in a hidden cave near the top of a huge cliff.

Pterano lifted his head to face the blue flyer on top of him, panting. "Don't ever do that..." He panted again. "again."

Devon lifted his head that was buried in Pterano's shoulder. "...Sorry..."

Petrie was startled as Devon came flying in so jerkily and the little hatchling watched as the two went carening over to a cave before landing in what seemed a painful huddle.

He winced then flew over, "You ok?" the question was sort of asked to both. He'd given up the race by flying over, sure, but Petrie hadn't really cared about it in the first place.

By now, Pterano and Devon stood on their feet as Pterano held his back in pain. "Just a little hurt in the back, but other than that, I'm okay." He tried to stand up straight, but that sent even more pain down his spinal cord. "Oww!!!...I hope..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 03, 2011, 10:42:04 PM
Petrie gasped and flew over, "You no fine, you hurt" the hatchling frowned in worry over his favorite, if only one he knew about, uncle. His eyes went wide as once again he though of the worst thing to happen out of any accident, "Oh! What if you  no can fly!" Petrie looked really worried over this prospect.

(Petrie's such a little worry wart, but a cute one at that  :lol)

(Oh Mama's girl. You're sure right about that. I loved Petrie in Cold Fire. He was so adorable!! Any way, ON TO THE STORY!!! :lol )

"Don't worry Petrie," Pterano assured, still clutching his back but held up a paw. "I'll be fine. Maybe I just need to rest." With that, Pterano sat down, leaning his back against he wall.

"Well, okay then." Luke entered the cave and planted himself on the closest rock to the entrance. He looked uncomfortably at Jared and Rinkus. "Eh... after you two," he encouraged, kicking his tail nervously.

**I'm putting this story on hold for 4-5 weeks, my mom's taking the laptop with her on a Michigan trip. So i'll have no computer access until about the weekend after the 4th of July. I'll announce when we can continue posting as soon as I can. In the meantime, please don't forget me or this story. And please. don't move on without me! I'll feel sad and heartbroken if I get left out of my own adventure with Pterano and the gang.  :cry  so. I'll make one last post before putting "Flyers" on hold (till the weekend after the 4th, if not sooner...and I'll tell you guys when i'm back here on the GOF after I get to use my mom's laptop once again.. Now, let me make one last post before the hold..**

Jared sat down and grinned. "Ok, me first."

*PRRRT!* Jared let out a short, noisy one.. "Hahh! Ha Haa!"  :lol:  :lol he snickered and giggled.

"Ok, Rinkus, you go next, buddy!" said Jared, still snickering, as he looked at his pink friend with a huge grin. It was going to be fun farting with Rinkus. Jared really loved living with the pink flyer and he was never ever going to leave him.

*Okay, time to bring Artie back!*

Artie landed in the cave, seeing what had happened to Pterano and rushed to his side. "Pterano!" she knelt by him, taking his hand. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Yeah," Pterano replied, groaning in pain. "I just need to rest for a few that's all." He smiled reassuringly at her.

*Well well well, looks to me like Petrie isn't the only worry wart. :lol *

(hehe, yes and they could so be an annoying team up with it too :DD)

"He keep saying that, but me not so sure" Petrie told Artie, somehow his slight shyness with some strangers, or dinosaurs he just met, being broken a bit by her seeming to be worried as well.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 11, 2011, 01:12:07 AM
"Guys, don't worry. I'll be fine." Pterano told them. Artie stared at him suspiciously with a look that said, "You dirty little liar..."

"Turn around," she told him.

"Why?"

"I said TURN AROUND!!!" She snapped, sheathing her claws.

"Okay! Okay! Sheesh! Miss Bossy!" Pterano snapped back, putting his hands up in defense as he turned around.

"Don't you use that tone of voice with me!" With that, she slapped his back lightly, yet hard at the same time, sending more pain into the red flyer's back, causing him to groan in pain loudly. "Yep, you're back's hurt alright." She turned to the little flyer beside her. "Petrie, you stay and take care of your uncle." She then turned to Devon. "You go find tree stars for Pterano's back and I'll go find Harper and Fury. Cool?"

"Yes, mam." Devon told her. With that, the two flyers headed their separate ways, leaving Petrie alone with Pterano.

The red flyer smiled at his nephew. "So Petrie," He sat against the wall again. "Some afternoon, huh?" He chuckled, then groaned in pain due to the pain in his back.

*I edited this so there will be no confusion between us. ;))

Suddenly, Zin's massive head appeared at the cave entrance, with Redback and Tero perched atop it. Redback quickly wiped the last trace of blood from his snout and grinned. Tero simply glared blankly into the cave.

"Mayhaps we can help?" He said with a grin.

Redback slipped off his head and landed on the ledge, pulling off a length of the black grass that he wore draped over his head and body.
Spitting in his hand, he squeezed the black grass in his wet hand, creating a strange inky black substance. His hand dripping black, he advanced on the flyers.

"Here, Pterano. Turn yer back this way, I'll take care of it."

Tero followed behind him, like some shadowy Igor.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 11, 2011, 12:28:45 PM
Pterano did as he was told. "Okay, now what?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 11, 2011, 01:31:29 PM
Redback grinned slightly as he got to work "Now, you see how Blackweed Brothers do things."

He liberally slathered the black slime over the flyer's back, kneading it into his skin, until Pterano appeared to have a huge black patch on his back.

"Tero, if you'll do the honours" He then said to his friend.

Tero nodded. Retracting a long claw on his hand, he jabbed at Pterano's back sharply. Pterano didn't even flinch.

"There we go. Completely relaxed. That's what the goo does to ya. Makes you lose all sensation where it's worked into the skin. You'll feel better for a while now, and you can do the rest."

**Jared smiled at Rinkus in the small cave. It was Rinkus's turn to fart..**

"Ok, Rinkus! Your turn!  :smile  Go ahead, buddy. We're away from Pterano and the others. They'll never find out.
said Jared, sitting right next to his pink friend. Jared pat the pink flyer gently on the back with a smile.

"I'm probably the stinkiest long-tail around, Rinkus..whether I fart by accident.. or on purpose.   :lol

But I don't mean any harm...it's just the way I am. I'm a big stinky beak! Ha ha! Heh heh!"  
said Jared giggling as he wrapped a wing around Rinkus. He really wanted to bond a little deeper with Rinkus. He loved living with him so much!

What Jared wanted way down in his heart, was for Rinkus to adopt him as a son! He wanted Rinkus to be his dad more than anything in the world!  :yes

Jared was laughing so hard, when, his stomach gurgled and...*PPFFFRRRRRTT!* he farted again.

"Whoo-hoo-hoops!   :lol  Heh heh!  See what I mean, Rinkus? I'm probably the stinkiest long-tail around! Come on, fart with me, buddy!  :DD " Jared told to the pink flyer.

Rinkus was really like a father to him, and Jared wanted to bond deeper with the pink rhamphorhynchus. Jared loved being around him so much. The tan flyer was never ever going to leave Rinkus. He meant THAT much to Jared.  :yes   :D

Petrie gave a small smile to what his uncle said, after all the confusing almost arguing with Miss Artie before she left. "Yes, it pretty big but then like you say, big stuff like this happen to you all the time".

His point brought up a lot of issues for Petrie and he hoped all these "adventures" of his uncle's weren't ever dangerous but then he had been ok up till now so he'd probably be just like he'd said before being banished, "Just fine".

As the sharptooth and other, silent, flyer came back in, Petrie didn't say much but backed up just a tad bit. They were here to help though, apparently. Petrie just watched, a little worried again, as the "procedure" but it all seemed to be fine.

"H-how you feel, uncle?" he asked after they were done.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 11, 2011, 10:21:13 PM
"Much better, actually. Thanks Mr. Redback and Tero." he smiled at the sharptooth and flyer, who just smiled at the older flyer softly. "And yes, Petrie, stuff like this happens to me all the time. If not for Devon, I probably wouldn't have lived to see you again, my dear nephew." He smiled softly at his small nephew, staring into those worried eyes of his. Petrie was just the sweetest little nephew out there, now wasn't he? Pterano thought.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 12, 2011, 03:44:45 AM
Fury was well aware that Petrie had turned back to check on his uncle to make sure he was alright, but he grinned at Harper as he turned his head and asked, "So are we still gonna race or what?! I've got an idea of what your face will look like when I beat you!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 12, 2011, 08:58:12 AM
Just then, Artie appeared to the both of them. "Fury, Harper, you guys need to come with me. Pterano has hurt his back and I need to get you two somewhere safe."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 12, 2011, 10:20:27 AM
"Oh...then, me have to thank Devon lots when he get back" Petrie smiled back. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if anything ever actually did happen to Uncle Pterano. It would be just...awful.

~~~~

"Oh, you think so?" Harper shot back the challenge and was about to say more when Miss Artie appeared. She frowned. Of course she'd noticed the crash and Petrie turning back, but she hadn't actually expected Uncle Pterano to hurt himself.

"Oh, ok. I'll just have to beat Fury later" she still half kidded with a smile before following Artie.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 12, 2011, 11:14:34 AM
Devon grabbed the last tree star he needed for Pterano. "Don't worry, Pterano. Your back will be healed in no time." he muttered confidently before taking off to the cave.

***

He landed in the cave as everyone stared at him. "I got the treestars. Are you feeling any better, Pterano?"

The red flyer nodded at him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 12, 2011, 08:01:41 PM
Fury sighed as he heard Artie speak. "Fine. We'll finish our race later. Besides..." he added with a smirk. "We all know I would've won." He then had an question he wanted to ask. "Wait, How did Petrie's uncle hurt himself? Isn't he supposed to be one of the best flyers around?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 13, 2011, 12:26:29 AM
Rinkus was rather nervous doing all of this, and he gave the younger tan long tailed flyer a grin, though one that was uneasy. "Heheh.... oh alright. Alright. I'll give it my best." he said. "I suppose I'm full enough." He had to admit, this was a rather unusual ritual, but he told Jared he was fine with it earlier, and as they were near the entrance of the cave, he figured it wouldn't do any major harm.

Letting loose with a lower sounding one, Rinkus breathed a sigh of relief. "Well... that one rumbled a little. Now um... Jared, when Pterano gets back, you won't... tell him about any of this... right?" he asked a little nervously, wringing his tail as usual.

"I suppose that leaves only one of us left then..." Rinkus said, looking over in a certain green flyer's direction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sierra of course was off flying aimlessly on his own. His head was a mishmash of different thoughts. His son WANTED to give him another chance? Why? And what made him think he even deserved a second chance, after how he'd treated his son?

It made Sierra's head hurt, and he honestly didn't wish to think about it. But he knew he had to... because this was a serious question. A question of whether or not he'd be given another go with being a father. Could he be... a better father than before?
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 13, 2011, 12:35:21 AM
After giving Devon time to hand over the treestars of course, Petrie walked over and tugged on the flyer's wing to get his attention, "Um, me have to thankyou. Well, me not have to, but me want to since Uncle Pterano tell how you saved him a lot and so...thanks for saving him so...he be here" Petrie glanced to the side a bit, this wasn't coming out like he wanted it to, but hopefully he'd made his point.

~~~~

Fury had a point, Harper thought. "Yeah, or atleast that's what he kept telling us is that he's the best of any flyer anywhere" she said, curious about how it happened now too.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 12:52:06 AM
Devon stared at the younger flyer in shock. Sure he knew knew he was there for Pterano. But he didn't know he saved his life. He smiled softly at the younger flyer. "You're quite welcome, young one." He winked at Pterano, who winked back at him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 13, 2011, 01:15:21 AM
Jared looked at Rinkus right in the eyes, and promised.

"Don't worry Rinkus, I promise. I won't tell Pterano anything about this." ;)

"That's right. Only one of us left." grinned Jared, looking over at the green flyer.

"Ok Luke, are you gonna fart?... Or are Rinkus and I too stinky for you?"  :lol


**Uh-oh, Artie's onto us!  We'd better fly back to Pterano's cave after Luke farts, or we might get caught!**
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 01:35:42 AM
Artie was the second to land in the cave, fallowed by Harper and Fury. "Hey, guys!" She noticed something was missing. "Say, where's Jared and Rinkus?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 13, 2011, 03:00:32 AM
Luke looked uncomfortably at Jared and Rinkus. The smell inside the cave was turning him a darker shade of green than usual. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." he muttered to himself. Then he sighed. "Right, then. Here I go." He let rip with a high pitched fart.

As soon as he was done, Luke stood up, clasping a claw over his beak. "If it's all the same to you two, I'm gonna wait outside. It smells like death in here." With a final nod, he turned and stumbled out of the cave. Leaning on a rock just outside the entrance, he gasped and sucked down clean, fresh air.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 13, 2011, 11:26:11 AM
As they entered the cave, Harper immedietly trotted over to where Pterano and the others were, "Gosh Uncle Pterano, I'm sorry for not noticing earlier, are you...".

Before she could ask her question, Petrie turned to his sister and held up a wing, "We already do that" he informed her.

"Oh" Harper said, dropping the subject, "So he's good now?". Petrie nodded.

The little flyer then got an idea and smiled, "We adventerer's tough like that" he said. Harper's laugh broke his attempt at looking all brave though, "I don't know lots of adventerer's who still have snuggling sticks" she teased.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 13, 2011, 12:22:48 PM
Redback called to Artie "Trust me, You don't want to go see them right now. It ain't fit for a lady's eyes..or nose."

He grinned down at Pterano "How's yer back holdin' up now? Need more?"

Redback then noticed something that was off. Looking around, he was unnerved.

"Where's Tero?"


Truth was, the flyer had had enough of the crowds and confines of the cave. Swooping out off the ledge, he spotted Luke sitting out on the ledge of the other cave.
Silently he swooped down, landing right next to him. Perching on the ledge, he drew his wings around him like the cloak of some vampiric creature.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 13, 2011, 03:42:36 PM
As he stood with his eyes closed, Luke felt a slight breeze against his side. He turned his head slightly. "EEE!" he screeched, taking in the lean figure next to him as he jumped up in shock. "Oh.. it's you, Tero." Relaxing, Luke sat back down next to him. "The other two'll be out in a second. I, ah... wouldn't go in there if I were you." Glancing sideways at the ever silent flyer, he noticed some black grass draped across him, and remembered that Redback wore the same. Kicking his tail absent-mindedly, Luke wondered what it meant.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 05:43:03 PM
Pterano smiled at Redback. "I'll be fine for now." he replied.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 13, 2011, 05:50:11 PM
Fury who'd been standing behind Artie frowned as he sniffed the air and gaged a little. "oh by the Guardians! What is that smell?! I"ll bet that could cause a sharptooth to run away! Ugh! What a stench!" he cried as his eyes began to water and he covered his nose with his wings. He then asked Pterano, "If your back still hurts we could go find a pond or something to help you relax."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 06:19:52 PM
"Well that does sound a little relaxing. Sure, why not?" Pterano replied. "My back may not hurt as much now, but it might later."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 13, 2011, 06:24:58 PM
"Yeah" Harper agreed with a smile at what her uncle said, "like the wisdom Mom always says, plan ahead for later".

"But if pool on the ground, wouldn't we have to watch for sharpteeth?" Petrie frowned, then giving a glance to some of their compaion, "Uh...not friendly sharpteeth that be" he added, not wanting to offend.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 13, 2011, 06:25:31 PM
*Oh no! Now i'm gonna be in so much trouble. Ptero knows...Redback knows...and Fury knows.*

"Ok, Rinkus. We're done! That was so much fun!  :D Let's fly back to Pterano's cave now."

But right when Jared got outside of the cave about to jump in the air and fly back...he flinched and screeched! It was Ptero!

"EEEEEEEK!! Ptero! It's you!!  Please, don't tell him Luke!"

*Jared was REALLY scared now. he trembled, and shook, and tugged, twisted, and fidgeted with his tail.*

"I know Ptero is very quiet, but if he tells, and Pterano finds out.. ...he'll...he'll.....he'll call me a nasty, smelly, stinky nuiscance, and..and..he'll kick me out of the cave and i'll be all alone, lost, and left to die all alone in the mysterious beyond!"

Then, Jared lowered his head, and a tear rolled down his beak...

"Ohhhhh. What do we DO, guys? I NEVER should have done this in the first place. I'm sorry. This was my idea. If we get into trouble, i'm the one to blame."   :cry
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 13, 2011, 07:05:46 PM
Luke sniggered. "Tell Tero what? Oh, you mean about the..." He stopped when he looked around and saw Jared's fearful expression. He couldn't bring himself to get his friend in trouble. Lowering his head, he continued; "You mean about the dead lizard stinking the cave out? Nasty. You don't want to see it, Tero." He looked reassuringly at Jared.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 13, 2011, 07:16:58 PM
*Jared caught on to Luke, and smiled and quickly winked at him. The green flyer saved him from some BIG trouble*

"Yeah, Tero. Don't go in there.  Well, guys, let's fly back to Pterano's cave.  You too, Tero."

said Jared, as he jumped off the edge of the cliff outside the cave and began flapping his big, tan wings, as he made his way back over to Pterano's cave.

**Guys, we can get a BUNCH of writing done tonight, and tomorrow, too... I can stay up as late as I want tonight, and I have tomorrow off from work.. My mom, dad, sister, and dogs are up in Michigan. Dad won't be back for 2 weeks, and my mom, sis, and dogs won't be back for 4 weeks. I'm all by myself in the condo here in Florida.  LET the FLYER party begin!! :lol: YAY!*
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 07:19:36 PM
*Jared, I thought you were gonna ask Mr. Rinkus if he could be your dad. You should do that! It sounded like a really good idea!*
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 13, 2011, 07:25:02 PM
Fury smiled. "Don't worry so much Petrie, if any sharpteeth come around I'll deal with em!" commented Fury with enough pride in his voice to cause him to puff out his chest. "Besides, you and your sister are far from home, and relaxing is a good thing!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 07:26:24 PM
Pterano smiled. "And so will I!" He chuckled. "I kicked that last sharptooth's butt. I'll have no problem dealing with any others."

"Same here." Devon smiled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 13, 2011, 08:08:18 PM
*Jared landed back at Pterano's cave and went inside. "Hi, everyone!" said Jared, with a smile. "What's up? Did I miss anything?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 08:10:54 PM
"No sirry!" Devon replied.

"I hurt my back a little but I'm alright." he turned Fury and the gang. "You know, I have a feeling we should stick around a bit before heading to that swamp."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 13, 2011, 08:29:00 PM
Petrie did look a bit more reassured by Fury's words, and then even more so at what Pterano said. "You did?" he asked Pterano in clear admiration, flapping over to land on his shoulder, "ooh, what happen?" he asked.

Harper smiled, she knew there was a chance Uncle Pterano was making up what he said, but whenever he got going with stories she found even she didn't care if it was true or not they were very interesting.

She was curious as to his saying they should probably stay put a bit as Jared came back, but decided that if Uncle Pterano didn't feel in enough pain to go to these pools that were mainly to help him then what did she care if they stayed a bit.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 13, 2011, 08:47:09 PM
"He sure did, little one!" Devon told the younger flyer.

"Yeah! Though I couldn't have done it if Devon hadn't shown up." he smiled proudly at the blue flyer he thought of as his son before turning back to his beloved nephew. "So here I was roaming around when I hear this loud roar and this glider kid shows up begging us to help him..."

Artie rolled her eyes. "You were not roaming around! You were scared to death of Redback here!"

Pterano glared at her, hands on his hips and then turned back to a laughing Petrie. "I was! Oh man, I get so embarrassed just thinking about it!" That caused everyone else to laugh. "Okay, so I was scared...at first!" Pterano continued with his story.

Flashback

"Quickly, pass me that vine behind you!" Pterano shouted back. Redtooth grabbed the vine that was hanging off a tree behind him.

Pterano flew off and threw the vine towards the giant sharptooth's jaws before it could consume Luke.

Luke gazed at Pterano, who was still holding onto the vine with his strength. "Keep your dirty teeth off him, you overgrown lizards!" With that he pulled on the vine, bringing the sharptooth's closed jaws to face him. But before he could do anything, the sharptooth broke free and still headed for Luke.

Pterano landed on the sharptooth's head, pecking his eye out to earn a loud roar coming from him. With his focus now on Pterano, it shook its head, knocking him off and tossing him into the air. Pterano regained his balance, but he realized that he sharptooth had him backed up against the wall.

Pterano closed his eyes, preparing for impact when he realized it never came. For a tree sweet splashed into the sharptooth's face. Pterano looked up to thank whoever had saved him to see flyer, black on the outside, blue on the inside and no crest. "Devon..."

"Devon!" Pterano called.

"Pterano! Catch!" the blue flyer shouted as he passed the older flyer a vine. "Let's do this!"

Before Pterano could do anything, he remembered about Rinkus. He craned his head towards the pink flyer staring back at them in disbelief. "Rinkus! Run, get out of here!"

The pink flyer's shocked look turned into a confused, worried look. "We've got this! Just go and help Luke and Jared. They're gonna need you!" Pterano continued.

Rinkus just didn't know what to do. He didn't want to leave his old friend to the mean sharptooth. But he also didn't wanna leave Jared either. So he decided he should fallow Pterano's order for once and flew off.

Pterano and Devon smirked at eachother. "Let's do this!" Devon repeated as the red flyer nodded at him. Devon tossed his vine in the air. Pterano did the same. Devon's aiming for the legs and Pterano's aiming for the jaws.

The sharptooth jerked its jaw, pulling Pterano near its mouth. "Be careful, Pterano!" Devon shouted in worry.

Pterano, ignoring the blue flyer's call, used his feet to jump from the sharptooth's bottom jaw to fly to the top of its head, tying the vine around them tight.

Devon tied his vine around the sharptooth's leg as it looked down and saw him as a good meal. So it lowered its head and opened its jaws, despite the vines. Only to taste a certain pteranodon instead.

"Pterano!" Devon shouted as he tied his vines around both of the sharptooth's ankles, pulling them together so it won't go anywhere. "Let my friend go, you heartless bastard!" He pulled on the vine, causing the sharptooth to fall on its stomach, knocking it unconscious.

Devon took a couple breaths before racing up to the sharptooth's closed jaws. "Pterano?" He called worriedly. "Pterano?" Are you in there?"

He received no answer as the atmosphere remained silent around him. Assuming that the sharptooth had already swallowed his friend, tears of grief formed in his eyes. He turned around to face the setting sun, thinking his friend was in a better place now.

Until he heard a silent groan coming from behind him causing him to turn back to the unconscious sharptooth. And guess what he saw.

Its jaws opening...wide, until they revealed a certain red flyer holding them up with all of his strength. He smiled. "Pterano!"

Pterano jumped out of the sharptooth's jaws as Devon jumped into his arms right after. "Are you okay?" he asked the blue flyer, breaking their reunion hug.

"Am I okay? Am I okay? No. The question is, are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I'm okay..."Pterano groaned, holding his wing in pain. "I hope..."

"Oh my! Will you be able to fly?"

"I'll try. But probably not that far though." Pterano replied, still clutching his wings.

"Should we go tell the others we're okay?"

"Sure. Just don't fly too fast." Pterano replied, being the first to spread his wings. "I'm not as young as I used to be."

Devon smiled at the older flyer worriedly before spreading his wings. And they took off together.

End flashback

"Oh man, Petrie, you should have seen him!" Devon told the little flyer with pride. "He was FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!"

Pterano blushed at the thought. "Oh it was nothing."

"Nuttin? Nuttin? Nuttin?!?!? Dude you friggin saved my tail back there! If it wasn't for you sacrificing yourself to save me, the friggin sharptooth woulda swallowed me whole!!!" Devon pointed out, both him and Petrie staring at the red flyer with the deepest admiration.

**Jared sat down right in the middle, so that all the flyers were around him. It was time to set up the moment, he thought Pterano's story was absolutely amazing! Pterano was very daring, bold, and strong...forcing that sharptooth's jaws wide open with all his strength!**

"WOW! Pterano! THAT was CLOSE!  :blink: You almost became a sharptooth meal!"

then, Jared lowered his head. "But my dad....he wasn't so lucky... :cry you see, Pterano...when I was little, about Petrie's age...my dad was eaten by a sharptooth."  :cry  Now I have no dad....and.. and...until I met you yesterday, i've flew around all alone in the mysterious beyond..
with no friends at all, before I finally met Luke recently."

"I'm very happy to be living with you...all of you! I still wish I had a dad again, though." Jared frowned, looking right at Pterano and Devon...his eyes were about to tear up.

"But, Rinkus has been so good to me... he cares about me, he watches out for me, he comforts me when I get worried or scared, and he's lots of fun to play with and be around, and sometimes, he's  funny, too.  He's like...like..a DAD to me! He means so much to me, guys!"

said Jared, making sure all the flyers (Pterano, Devon, Artie, Petrie, Harper, Tero, Luke, Fury, Sierra....and Rinkus *if he's there*) heard him.

Rinkus's eyes went wide, and he looked over at Jared. He wasn't sure what to say to this. Sierra wasn't present, as he was still out flying around, and wasn't in the cave at the moment. The pink flyer felt bad for him, but there was only so much he could do as well. Sierra had to sort his issues out for himself.

"Um... well Jared... I um... you really see me like a father?" Rinkus asked, unknowingly pulling on his tail as he did so, though he was smiling as well, though not very aware of it.

Two more tears fell off of Jared's beak.

"Yes, Rinkus! Yes!...*sniffffff* *sob* Yes, I do." Jared sobbed and cried happily

He was so happy now, that, his eyes were now flooding with tears, and his throat began to swell up. It was time. Then, Jared asked Rinkus with a broken-up voice, crying his eyes out...

"Rinkus *Sniiiiiiif!* W-- W--- Will you----Will you adopt me and b-b-be my new dad?!?!?! I'll be a great son for you. I pr-pr-promise!"

whispered Jared, he had now lost his voice, he was that happy. Now he could only hope the pink flyer would adopt him. Jared wanted to be Rinkus's son more than anything in the whole world.

Pterano, Devon as well as every one else was all ears, listening VERY carefully to the upcoming father son moment. Pterano and Devon smiled at eachother fondly, remembering the first time Devon called him "Dad".

Post by: Pterano on June 13, 2011, 10:14:13 PM
Rinkus was at first stunned into silence, and then, because he simply hadn't been expecting this. He stared wide eyed at Jared, unable to speak. He wrung his tail tightly, and then, he once again broke out into smile.

"Well... of course Jared. If it's what you truly want. I can most certainly do so. Why don't you come over here then?" he asked, spreading his wings wide, and beaming now. "I'd be more than happy to take you in. You need it after all you've been through I think... so sure... I'll do this for you." he explained, nodding.

Jared's heart raced, His eyes widened like never before. He was so happy, happier than he had EVER been before. He gasped, and sobbed...and ran right over to his new father, giving the pink rhamphorhynchus a big hug, that he never EVER wanted to end. Jared nuzzled his head right against Rinkus, feeling his soft, white neck ring, and his warm, pink belly..listening to his gentle heartbeat. Then, Jared whispered to his dad,

"*Snifffff!* ....*snifffff*.....*snifff!*. *Ohhh* *Th..th...th..th..th....th...th...th..thank y-y-you!.. *sniiff* I....*sniff* .I....*sniiif*..I...I.*sniiff*..I LOVE YOU!...D-DAD! "

said Jared, still bawling his eyes out, flooding tears into Rinkus's belly. Rinkus's pink wings felt so warm wrapped around Jared's body. The pink flyer's hug felt so warm and loving. Jared NEVER wanted it to end. He was Rinkus's new son!!

Devon and Pterano smiled at the moment, tears pouring down their eyes. Devon turned to his father. "I love you, Dad!!!"

"I love you too, son!" Pterano replied, opening his arms for Devon to hug him.

The blue flyer threw his arms around the red flyer's neck, feeling his strong, warm, loving  arms slip around him as Pterano lifted him off the ground and spun him in mid air before placing him on the floor again.

They broke the hug, staring fondly into eachother's eyes. Devon placed his hand on Pterano's cheek, only for the red flyer to return the favor. They hugged again for what seemed like forever before Devon pulled back, slipping his arms around his father's waist and laying his head right up against Pterano's chest. He smiled as he listened to that heartbeat of his. It was steady, smooth, relaxing, and comforting as well.

Devon loved the red flyer. He loved him like he had never loved anyone before. And it was so good to know that Pterano loved him just as much. They knew they would always be together, forever and always. His spirits lifted when he felt a lips kiss his forehead as he blushed happily, burying his face into Pterano's chest and taking in that fatherly scent of his.

The two remained that way for a few minutes and watched as Rinkus held Jared in his arms, kinda like the way Pterano's holding him. It was such a loving site for them to see.

Harper giggled a bit as Miss Artie called her uncle out on saying he was brave when he was really just scared. It wasn't long into Pterano's story, though, before she was enraptured along with Petrie in listening to the tale, full attention given.
 
"Wow, you really escape from right inside sharptooth!" Petrie asked, obviously impressed.
 
"For...really real?" Harper asked, sounding both impressed and skeptical as she glanced between Pterano and Miss Artie who she had already figured out enough about to feel would say something if it wasn't true. She figured it was though and smiled, "Well way to go being a hero!".
 
Both hatchlings glanced over as Jared started speaking and frowned as he spoke on his own father. As Jared told how his father had died, Petrie and Harper glanced to each other. It wasn't something they thought on a lot, fathers, theirs having died some time before they even hatched.
 
They both wished to say something to the at least adolescent flyer to cheer him up but weren't sure of what. They just watched with small smiles as Rinkus fully took Jared in.
 
It was oddest for Petrie to see, last he'd seen of the pink flyer before him being so mean. But watching this, the little flyer finally believed he had changed. He didn't know why he was surprised though, as he, Littlefoot, Cera and Ducky had said, everyone had some good in them.

(Ah, your love fest is contagious :lol)
 
Harper glanced back over to her brother and said a pretty random thing, but then not really, "I hope...mom's not too worried with us being lost out here".
 
Petrie gave a small smile, his siblings could be annoying and hard to understand, and Harper was no exception even if she hadn't yelled too bad during the Day of the Flyers and stuff and mainly kept her thoughts to herself, just giving him 'a look', but she was still his sister and feeling very unsure being out here on their own, Petrie realized.
 
"No worry, Harper" Petrie said, putting a wing around his sister, "we good. We gots Uncle Pterano and even Devon and...everyone else to watch us" he gave a small smile before frowning, "Me know you rather be lost with others you know better than with Petrie, but me helped friends in Mysterious Beyond all the time and so me help you, me promise, you sister..." Petrie glanced down after saying all this.
 
Harper just stared at him, it was quite possibly the sweetest thing she'd ever heard Petrie say to her and she gave a small smile, "I don't know Petrie, the others kinda argue a lot" she said. She let this sentence sink in before laughing and...well, if she'd hugged Petrie it wouldn't have meant as much, instead she playfully pushed him down and Petrie laughed, throwing some dirt from the floor of the cave over at her. "Hey quite it" Harper laughed. She then helped Petrie back up to his feet and gave another smile, "Thanks".

"There, there." Rinkus said, patting Jared on the back. "I know... it's... joyous." he said, sniffling now himself as he too started to break down. Everyone seemed to be in an emotional state, and Rinkus too started crying, though more softly than the others could probably hear. He cried right in Jared's ear though, sniffling all the why as he hugged him tightly up against him.

"Good to finally have a son, if I do say so myself."

*Yep, it's a flyer love fest!*

Jared's voice came back. "Ohhh  :D ! I'm so happy you're my new dad!" said Jared, still wrapped up warmly in Rinkus's wings. "I promise i'll be a great son for you! I'm so happy! We're gonna have so much fun together! I know you'll be a great father for me just like..."
".
**Then, Jared turned his head and looked at Devon, who was all smiles, all wrapped up in Pterano's wings getting hugged.**

well, just like Pterano is a perfect father for Devon! Awwwhh..thanks for adopting me, dad!"

Said Jared, with his head nestled against Rinkus's warm, pink belly listening to his heartbeat....*thump....thump....thump....*

Fury wasn't as caught up in Pteranos story as everyone else, however when he heard Jared ask to be adopted by Rinkus. He felt a few tears of his own slid down his face, but he then turned away from the group and stood at the edge of the cave.

His head was beginning to hurt... alot. He began to see images from his past flash across his eyes. He quickly shook his head to clear the thoughts, but the more he tried to forget, the stronger Fury's memories became. He shut his eyes tightly and began to shed tears out of anger and sorrow.

As Fury's eyes stayed closed, he could see a island in the big water, it was on fire, smoke billowing into the air and creating a swirling cloud that reflected the red glow of the fire. He could suddenly hear countless screams of terror and fear. He could hear his friends crying for help and could smell the burning of both plants and other dinosaurs.

His heart began to race, and his breathing became shallow as he could see another glider, not just any glider, but his own mother... trying to carry Fury across the big water. He could see the flying fire rocks falling from the sky. The biggest one he could see as clear as the water below him crashed into the island, his home and made the fire spread across and on top of the water as if it was grass.

One final memory pushed its way to the top of Fury's mind. As his home and the water below him burned with fire, he saw one more flying rock slam into his mothers back. His eyes shot open in a moment of shock and utter sorrow. Despite his eyes now being open Fury could still see that single moment of pure pain and anguish on his mothers face. He watched as she too caught fire and dropped him from her protective grasp and shuddered as he remembered falling into the fire covered big water.

At that moment Fury shut his eyes, still letting the tears falling freely from his face and gave out a ear piercing and horrible cry of anger, sorrow, and pain. He screamed to the heavens and held the scream for several long, and painful moments until his voice gave out and he began to cough from a lack of air.

Devon smiled when Jared said that Pterano was the perfect father for him. He agreed completely. The best father in the world... he thought to himself as he nestled closer to the red flyer, blushing happily again.

Artie couldn't help but smile to herself as she watched the loving father son moment between Rinkus and Jared. They look so cute together... she thought to herself as then turned her head and noticed Fury standing on the edge.

She strolled up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" She asked in the softest voice.

Redback watched the whole scene with a mix of awe and confusion. So many emotions running so quickly, he could barely keep ontop of who was adopting who, or generally what was going on.

As he listened to all the little flyers talking about parenthood, his mind strayed back years and years, to when he had last seen his parents.
These leaf-eaters wouldn't understand, his inner voice said. Sharptooth families are very different to flatteeth. His last few seasons with his parents had been rough ones. Any family with two grown sharpteeth was bound to be a tense household, and his was no exception.
He ran a hand over a his chest, and ran it down to his stomach, resting over a set of scratches, that had scabbed and clotted into black scars. He flinched slightly, as he touched them, sending a small jolt of pain through his body

Some goodbye present, dad.

Tero, meanwhile, simply remained standing on the ledge, now once again only accompanied by Luke. watched Zin down below, who had dropped off for a nap, unceremoniously flopping down onto the ground, resting his immense claws on his head. He felt Luke's eyes on him, scanning him, examining him. He simply shrugged and pulled his wings even tighter around him.
Listening to the passionate conversations inside the cave, his face suddenly changed from his usual entropic stare to a look of unbridled hate. His green eyes narrowed, his beak curled into a tight snarl and his long, slender fingers curled into fists.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 14, 2011, 07:18:31 PM
Watching the group of flyers hugging each other, Luke couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Since he'd never known his father, and his mother had vanished while he was still very young, he didn't know how to act in situations like these. He couldn't undertand why it seemed so important for them to have parents in their lives.

Gritting his teeth, Luke turned to Tero. "Hey, you're not gonna go all soft on me are you..." he started, then paused. If Tero looked unsettling at the best of times, then the expression on his face now was terrifying. "You know what? I'll shut up. Looks like you have other stuff on your mind." He kept an eye on Tero uneasily.

Pterano just held his son close as he stroked his head comfortingly. He smiled as he felt the boy snuggle closer to him as he tightened his arms. He's so beautiful...My son...I'm so proud of him! the red flyer thought to himself.

Sometimes he pondered over how he and Devon had come together in such a strong bond. It seemed like only yesterday that he and Devon met in the Mysterious Beyond. Devon was such an innocent flyer...he didn't deserve to get eaten by that sharptooth. If Pterano wasn't there to save the day, Devon woulda been...

He shivered just thinking about it. He didn't want to lose his son. He wouldn't be able to cope with the world if he did. This is why he swore on his life to protect him, protect him at no matter what cost. If it meant his life would end by doing so, then so be it. Pterano didn't care. He just wanted his son safe. He tightened his arms around the boy, pulling him closer to his chest, resting his beak protectively over his head.

They stayed that way for a little while before Devon finally pulled back, staring up at the old flyer in admiration. "Dad?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I talk to you in private?" the blue flyer asked with pleading eyes.

Pterano couldn't help but smile at just how innocent Devon looked, like a hatchling. "Of course," he replied in the softest voice.

The flyer became more and more tensed up, as he listened to the conversations of the other flyers. His snarling teeth began to grate, his knuckles whitened as he clenched his fists, and suddenly, he did something he had not done in a very long time.

From his beak, there came a tiny, almost inaudible whimper. Like the noise a mute makes when they absolutely need to make themself heard.

With that, he collapsed to the ground, curling his legs to his chest, his body shaking, as if with silent weeping. It was a pathetic sight, his face returning to its cold, emotionless state, but his body displaying all the symptoms of one wracked with sadness.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 15, 2011, 08:28:13 PM
Some of these, well, not strangers so much anymore, but lesser known flyers and sharpteeth's mumbled and grunting responses caught Petrie and Harper's attention, Fury's scream and now Tero's...cry being among the chief to do so. The little hatchlings glanced at eachother, not sure what to do about it. The only one Harper felt comfortable even trying to talk to was Fury, being a kid like them, and Miss Artie seemed to have comforting him in wing.

It was odd but of the two of them, both Petrie and Harper would have told you the other was more bold. Petrie for the fact that almost everything scared him, though to different degrees and different times. Harper, being so unused to going anywhere would have told you that it was Petrie who left the Great Valley all the time who could handle things. Sure, she knew as well as anyone how scared he got, but between the two of them he was probably the most use to stuff.

Yet as Tero huddled in, movement did come from one of the little hatchlings. Harper flapped down closer, but still not all the way to the ground, where Tero was. "Um...Sir, you ok?" she asked. At the top of the ledge, Petrie tensed ready to bolt both him and her out of the way if the silent flyer "snapped" or anything.

Jared turned his head to Harper, still wrapped in Rinkus's warm pink wings... He wondered...was this tender moment too strong for Fury and Ptero to take?

"Oh no!  Ptero, Fury, are you guys ok?  I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to."

"It's just that....I can't help myself in tender, touching moments like this. I haven't had a father for so long...but now I have one again."

"Rinkus has been so nice, fun, kind and caring to me. He watches out for me, and.. I love him so much. He'll be a great dad for me. I just know he will! "

Then he looked at Devon....."Devon, can you help me out here? You went through the same thing i'm going through right now when Pterano adopted you. I just hope I didn't hurt Ptero and Fury's feelings too much. :( ." he said to the blue cearadactylus.

Devon was about to take off along with Pterano but when Jared called for help, he rushed to Jared's side along with Pterano. Neither of them knew what to say, but they felt bad for Fury and Ptero and wished they could do anything to help.

Luke frowned as he bent over Tero. "Uh... are you you ok?" Extending his finger, he prodded the prone, trembling flyer with the sharp end of his claw. "Does this happen a lot, Redback?" he asked over his shoulder unsurely.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 16, 2011, 12:33:36 PM
Redback ran to the ledge where his friend had collapsed. "No, I've never seen him like this before! Tero, what's up mate?"

He stopped a few feet from him, knowing all too well how dangerous a wounded animal can be. He prodded him with a foot "C'mon mate... Get up, what's wrong with you?"

He looked helplesly to the other flyers "I dunno what's happened... He's done strange things before, but never something like this. And that's the first time he's made any sort of noise for years!"


Tero stayed, curled up, on the ground. As he heard Harper's voice, he turned to face the little flyer. His eyes met hers for a moment, and he stared into her eyes for a few seconds. Was it a trick of the light, or for a brief moment, did he smile?

Redback ventured forwards more, crouching down by Tero and shaking him gently "C'mon ya wierdo, get up!"

Tero sat up and looked up into the face of the sailbacked sharptooth. Grabbing a scruff of Redback's skin, he pulled himself up on his feet and walked past all the flyers assembled around him, making eye-contact with none. He clambered up the side of the mountain and perched, alone, on a small outcrop higher up, looking for all the world like some age-old rock formation.


Redback watched as his friend clambered silently to the perch. Shaking his head "That Tero, what an oddball. He's been odd ever since that encounter with the fast-biter. But he's never broken down like that!...Maybe someone should go talk to him later. I'm no good at all that sort of thing, and he probably won't talk back, but maybe if he just hears a kind voice talking to him, he'll feel a bit better..."

Rinkus patted Jared on the back. "Oh I'm sure it's OK. You deserve this my friend. You haven't had parents in so long after all. Just enjoy this moment. You're such a lost little thing." he squeezed Jared, hugging him close. "You'll be fine... and so will Tero... eventually." the pink long tailed flyer stated.

A sudden flapping from the entrance drew Rinkus's attention over to the mouth of the cave. It was Sierra. He had landed, but stood a good distance away from Pterano, Devon, and everyone else. He didn't seem to look at anyone in particular, just swept his eyes all about.

Fury extended one of his wings and pushed Artie's hand off his back. He then turned to face her with almost uncontrollable rage in his eyes, and yet utter sadness in his voice as he spoke up. "N-no! DO I LOOK OKAY TO YOU?!" His body shuddered as he fell almost limp into Arties arms. As he looked up to her his right eye dilated and changed colors from quartz pink, to sunburst yellow before he began to speak again.

"I... I just..." he quickly sobbed and tried to breath with his voice still weak from his previous scream. "I... just want... the voices in my head... to go away! The screaming... the horrible screaming!" he shouted as he broke down and began to openly sob and cry. "W-why... do I feel... so alone..." he spoke inbetween sobs.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 18, 2011, 01:53:35 PM
Redback headed for the path down from the ledge, to the valley floor. Looking back at the flyers, all visibly shaken by Tero's sudden episode and Fury's breakdown, he shook his head and walked down the path.

This is why we do things alone, he thought to himself. So that we don't drag other folk into it if we mess up or something happens! Now some of them probably feel all guilty over Tero, and for no good reason. The mute flyer was a brooder, ever since the accident. This was no fault of theirs.

As he walked down through the valley, he stopped briefly as he past Zin. He reached out a claw and gently stroked the old dinosaur's head. He stirred and opened a massive eye.

"Oh...did I fall asleep again, oh dear.." He muttered as he got up, stretching his back with a satisfying crack. Flexing his claws, he dug one handful of claws into the ground as support and stood up.

"I'm just headin' down for a walk. You wanna come with?" Redback called up to the beast.

"Sounds like an idea. Just gettin' away from it all for a moment, eh?"

The sailback nodded. side by side, the 2 creature set out towards the watering hole, perhaps stop by the trees too for a snack.



Tero, meanwhile, remained in his place on the mountainside. He looked down at the flyers below him, some looking up at him.
He sniffed derisively and turned his gaze out to the horizon.

(OCC: Here's Chomper!)

In a dense forest in the Mysterious Beyond, a small Iguanodon hatchling was running for his life! He scampered through a bush, and only seconds later, a sharptooth broke through the same bush, hungry for meat!

This just wasn't any sharptooth, mind you. It was Chomper, the Friendly Sharptooth! Or at least, he used to be. That's what he thought to himself as he barreled towards the hatchling. He didn't WANT to eat a hatchling, really he didn't, but things had been going awful for him lately. He hadn't eaten in days, and his hunger pangs were getting worse by the day. He knew he had to eat something, or he wouldn't be alive for much longer.

As the poor hatchling continued in it's struggle for survival, it stumbled down an incline, and fell right on top of a Sailback named Redback. Terrified at seeing another sharptooth; One much bigger than the one already after him even; he jumped off and ran away as fast as he could.

Now it came time for the Friendly Sharptooth to do the same. Chomper fell down the same incline, and bounced off the same Sailback. Chomper looked back at the sharptooth, obviously very scared. "A..Another sharptooth!" Was all he could get out.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 18, 2011, 03:25:39 PM
As Redback and Zin wandered inbetween two ledges, the former was startled as he felt a weight land on his head. He watched the bundle fall, and saw it was another sharptooth.

Finally, some action! Tensing up, he took up a defensive stance, tail balancing him out, head lowered, eyes wide open, claws bared. He watched the sharptooth for any movement, ready to block or defend him.
Zin followed suit, holding his claws before him, one set clenched into a point, the other fanned out.
Redback grinned his massive teeth, saliva dripping from his two massive canines, as they jutted almost past his jawline. Stepping slowly forward, he leaned in close to the sharptooth and snarled.

But then he stopped, as he heard the little sharptooth speak.

"Wait....You just spoke..."

The small sharptooth nodded timidly, clearly terrified.

"You spoke..leafspeak...? H-how do ya know leafspeak?!"

He stood up and backed off.

(OOC: Leafspeak is just my term for the language of the leaf-eaters. Bit of creative liberties there..)

"Well...I learned it from some leafeaters." Chomper spoke up, still a little tense. "I'm kind of surprised that YOU know leafeater though. I always thought I was the only sharptooth that knew how to speak that."

He looked at the sailback, still fascinated at it. He never saw a dinosaur like this one before.

"Could I ask, what kind of sharptooth are you?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Redback smiled down at the smaller sharptooth. he didn't seem like the "rip your throat out and turn your ribs inside out" kind of sharptooth he was used to.

"Hmm.. I'm a sailbacked-sharptooth. Redback's the name. This here's my friend, Zin."

He pointed up to the longfinger standing behind him, who smiled and waved a hand at him "Pleased to meet you, I'm sure."

The sailback smiled and leaned in a bit closer to Chomper "You gotta speak up with him... And speaking of speaking, yeah, I learned it from a leafeater friend of mine..." He then thought back to whatever had happened to Tero. He hoped that he was okay.

"Anyways, what's yer name then? And what's a kid like you doing all alone out here?"

"Well, My name is Chomper."

"And...I wasn't alone too long ago. You see, I used to live in the Great Valley, but a few weeks ago the elders told me I finally had to leave. They said I was getting too big, and that little ground crawlers and stuff like that weren't enough for me anymore."

Chomper paused for a moment as he collected his thoughts to talk about it some more.

"Anyway, I knew what they meant by that. I had to start eating REAL meat now. I really love everybody there, but not as food! So, I've been trying to live out here since then."

Chomper looked down at the ground, as his stomach growled loudly.

Redback chuckled as he heard the rumbling of Chomper's stomach.

"Heheh, peckish are ya? Well, I know a nice place nearby. A little grove of trees, with a little pond. There's some nice little lizards there sometimes, and some groudn crawlers... But, well... you'll have to be a bit discrete about the lizards. We share the grove with some other leafeaters."

"Redback and us are friends with them. You wanna meet them?"

*Holy shoot! How long have I been gone! Man! I go spend the night at someone's house and look how much changes take place! Seriously!  :lol )

Artie took the sobbing glider into her gentle arms. "Oh, you poor thing..." She told the little critter. "Look at me. You are not alone. You are never alone. I care about you. And obviously so does Harper and Petrie. And so does Pterano." She smiled at the red flyer sending the glider a reassuring smile.

It was a bit eerie, and Harper felt sort of frozen in the moment as Tero did open his eyes and made eye contact with her before giving that...maybe smile, maybe not. Either way the young one just watched, curious and now hopeful like children could be that maybe everything was ok now. She didn't drop this thought either, even as the silent flyer stood and walked on. Redback's words seemed to sum everything up, he was just...like that.
 
She and Petrie both just glanced at each other as Redback suggested someone talking to him. "He look at you and not snap" Petrie seemed to be using this as enough evidence that she should go try it! Well, sure he had, but that wasn't enough to go talking to him...was it? For her, just some kid?

She also noticed how shaken Fury was. "Me take him this time" Petrie offered, "you alteast not get snapped at, so you go talk to other flyer" he pointed. It was worth a shot, Harper figured, so she stepped out a bit, but still just looked to where Tero was rather than rush over or anything.

"Yes, I would love to meet your leafeater friends! ...and get a bite to eat, too."

Chomper was suddenly filled with almost a sense of belonging. Ne had never met another friendly sharptooth before. He didn't really know what to think of it.

Chomper started to follow Redback and Zin to their little pond.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 19, 2011, 08:27:35 AM
Redback beckoned with a claw, and the trio headed back towards the mountain.

"So, the folks we share the grove with are a bunch of flyers. They're alright folk, if you can convince them yer not gonna hurt them."

he rubbed the small welt that remained on his head, from that rock that Luke had thrown at him

"But they're nice enough. They all live up in these caves in a mountainside. You got a couple grownups, a bunch of teenagers, and we just got a few kids too. So like I said, you'll have to be a bit discrete about eating lizards and crawlers.
Me, Zin and another one of my friends, Tero, we live down in the grove. Too big for caves, y'see. I'm used to sleepin' rough anyways."

Fury looked up at Artie and cried harder. He wanted more than anything to believe her, and some small part of him deep down inside his heart he did trust her words, but everything else just seemed too hopeless. As he cried and sobbed, several of his feathers began to change color as well... from their sky blue tint to a darker, midnight blue. And some of his sadness turned to anger. "I... I don't... want your pity! I need your.... h-help." he then cried again.

"I can still see.... the fire... the horrible, red burning fire... as it burns the green food... and kills the others... all of them. No survivors... not even in the sky.... the flying rocks strike them down too. Just... just like... it killed my mother." said Fury as he stared into Arties eyes. He couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling, or if he was feeling anything at all. He simply knew that he had to talk, and as he did his voice began to change too, becoming harsher, almost more sharptooth like.

Post by: vonboy on June 19, 2011, 01:51:44 PM
As Redback, Zin, and Chomper came up to the area Redback spoke off earlier, Chomper went off to the side in some bushes to look for something to eat. He grabbed a lizard, looked around to make sure no one was looking, and horked it down. He was still hungry after that, but he figured he could find something else around here later.

As Chomper stepped out of the bushes, he looked up at the cave the flyers stayed in. On the ledge, he saw three flyers. An older one he didn't know, but two young ones he DID know.

"Hey, Redback! I think I know some of those flyers!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 19, 2011, 02:39:32 PM
As Petrie stayed nearby, listening to what Fury said, he began to rethink his being able to help like he'd told Harper he could. Oh well, Miss Artie seemed to have it really, even if the little one didn't like what he could hear of some horrible disaster or something and Fury's mother being killed apparently. It all sounded too horrible to fathom. The changing color bypassed the little flyer's notice as he thought it a trick of the light, if anything, though he frowned wondering if he'd heard right as a different inflection came to the voice.

Harper had just made up her mind to walk over and actually talk to Tero, when she noticed movement down below and looked. It was the nice sharpteeth from before. With a new one though, looking about their age and...wait? Hadn't she seen that one before? Yeah! She had! He was the one who had been in the Great Valley. The one Petrie always hung around. Harper hadn't freaked out as much as some of the others at their brother having a sharptooth friend, trying to give people the benefit of a doubt, but she did worry at times. Still, this one had saved their mom once, Chip or Chomp or something? Chomper! That was it!

"Wow! It's you!" she flapped down closer. "H-Hey Petrie!" she called up to the ledge. Petrie soon popped his head over the top, looking curious as to why his sister had called before he saw the sharpteeth, and most importantly the newest one. They'd still been in the Valley when Chomper had been asked to leave. Petrie's curious look turned to happiness. "Chomper!" he flew down to hug the sharptooth's snout.

(that's eastern time, BTW.)...I'll be pretty busy, but i'll be here to work on "flyers" when I can in my free time.

Anyways, it's time to meet Chomper!   :)  *


Jared opened his wings and shrugged his shoulders... "Chomper?  Who's Chomper? Is he a friend of Petrie's?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 19, 2011, 04:54:41 PM
(I might be pretty busy this week too. I got work experience, 9-5, working down at a warehouse.)

Redback was taken aback at the reaction of the two young flyers. But it was obvious that they knew Chomper.

"You guys know this sharptooth?!"

Zin smiled gently "Well, this is a strange turn of events."


Tero, meanwhile, watched from his perch high on the mountainside. He could see that Redback and Zin had returned, with yet another new member of this little comminuty.
A cold gust of wind made him shiver, and he drew his wings around him like a blanket.

"I didn't think I'd ever see you guys again!" Chomper beamed as he brought the two little flyers down to give them a hug of their own.

He didn't really know what was going on though. What was Petrie and Harper doing out in the Mysterious Beyond? And alone? Petrie was always with the Gang, and Harper NEVER wanted to leave the Great Valley, even though he always tried to talk her into it.

"What are you guys doing out here? Is the rest of the Gang here, Petrie?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 19, 2011, 06:55:23 PM
"You're in a gang, Petrie?" Luke smirked, looking at the tiny flyer. "You don't really look like gang material to me..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 19, 2011, 07:17:05 PM
Pterano turned to the cave opening to see Petrie and Harper was talking to someone. "Who could be out there in this time of night?" He wondered as he flew out into the opening and look what he saw...

A blue talking sharptooth.

His eyes went as wide as plates. "Oh my...GAGGGHHHH!!!!!!!" He shouted. "T-T-T-TALKING SHARPTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" With that, he dashed back into the cave, but he was flying too fast and he rammed into the wall, getting his beak stuck in the dirt. He grabbed his crest and pulled his beak out. "Uncle Pterano no feel so good..." He collapsed to the ground and opened his eyes to see Devon and Artie staring down at him.

"Seriously, Pterano? You don't mind fighting off big sharpteeth but yer scared to death of this little one?" She face palmed. "Man, what is wrong witchu?"

Pterano just grinned innocently.

(Pterano just does the dumbest things, doesn't he? :lol )
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 12:46:15 AM
(Ok, pulling a slight idea that hopefully works here for why Petrie might feel inclined to stick around the Beyond and then Harper would reluctantly decide to stay with him, if they still need a reason)

Petrie's hug back to Chomper was enthusiastic of course, and Harper just giggled as she hugged the little sharptooth that was such a bad influence, always suggesting she take off on their little adventures. Neither of the two flyers really understood Luke's statement and so just looked confused at it.

"Um...he mean me friends" Petrie nonetheless somehow got that the answer to what Luke asked was no. Turning back to Chomper he answered, shaking his head, "and no, they no here. Me take off to...well..." Petrie paused. He glanced to Harper. He hadn't told her yet the real reason for his taking off out here and knew she wasn't going to take it well. "Me...promise Littlefoot me make sure you ok. Since grown-ups notice and not let him leave. But then me no could find you and then me find my Uncle Pterano and others".

"Petrie!" Harper turned to him in that shock he'd expected, "is that the reason you took off? Why couldn't you tell me that?".

"Because you say it bad idea if me do" Petrie answered. Harper sighed, but decided to let the subject drop.

"Well he didn't tell me that part" Harper told Chomper "but then I for once followed to try to get him to go back, which he didn't, which is how I got lost out here".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 08:33:43 AM
Chomper was pretty shocked by what he just heard, but also very happy. He had to take a moment to digest all the two flyers said before he responded.

"You mean...Littlefoot wanted to look out for me? Make sure I was okay?"

This brought hope to his heart. He had been thinking hard over the past few weeks. About the new decisions he was having to make, like WHAT to eat. He was feeling ashamed of the things he had started to do. He thought his friends would hate him know, since they figured he was out here hunting now, But he was wrong.

A tear formed in his eyes as he smiled at the two flyers.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 11:23:12 AM
Seeing Chomper's touched look, Harper smiled, knowing what he was thinking. "Yeah, don't worry Chomper, from what I heard Petrie and 'the gang' saying no one hates you for have to come out here now that you're just too big". She frowned, "Mr. Threehorn still doesn't talk nice, but they...well...".

"He never did" Petrie finished for her with a smile, "and yeah" Petrie smiled back over to Chomper, "Me watch out for you all me can. Me had enough of people me like having to leave and me no can do anything about it" he frowned.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 01:20:12 PM
"Well, thank you Petrie! I know the Gang always goes exploring out here. We're bound to...meet, so I'm sure I'll get to talk to my friends every once in awhile!"

Things were getting emotional, so Chomper felt like talking about something else for a while.

"So, about the other flyers here, you know some of them? I heard you say something about a uncle?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 01:44:03 PM
Petrie nodded along with Chomper's point. He hadn't exactly given up on going back, but then, as he'd said, going in and out and keeping an eye on Chomper could be tricky...he'd decide about all that later.

"Oh yeah, you no meet me Uncle Pterano, just hear about him" the flyer recalled.

"He's our mama's brother" Harper filled in.

"Yeah we meet him again" Petrie said, "and he with some friends. Some who weren't friend before but are now and even other sharpteeth" Petrie indicated Redback and the others that Chomper had already met.

Harper glanced up at the ledge, "I think he's still just inside there, let me go see if maybe he wants to say hi" she flapped up and over. Inside the cave she found Uncle Pterano had apparently tripped or something. She smiled, flapping over, "Hey, Uncle Pterano, you wanna come meet a sharptooth friend of mine and Petrie's?" she asked, "He's nice like Redback and the ones you know".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 03:04:28 PM
*Aww that little build up for me? Aww thanks guys!*

Pterano coughed, still trying to recover from his ummm...How do I say it? Stupidity fall. :lol But he did manage to squeak out, "Okay..."

With the help of Devon and Artie, Pterano got up on his feet and flew outside once again. He wanted to scream of fright but then he could be himiliating himself in front of his nephew and niece. He didn't want to do that.

He managed to pull out a nervous smile as Artie nudged him. "Don't be rude, say hi!" she quietly scolded him.

"H-h-hello..." he squeaked out.

"He's very nervous when it comes to meeting new sharpteeth." she explained to Chomper. "But you look like a nice looking fella. He'll get used to you."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 03:20:44 PM
"You don't have to be afraid, Mr. Pterano, I'm Chomper, the Friendly Sharptooth!"

Chomper extended his claw in a friendly handshake, while also giving a toothy grin.

Though, in the back of his mind, he did think this was funny. He never wanted to admit it, but he always enjoyed scaring people. He loved meeting new people, and seeing how they react to him. It was always in good fun though, he didn't want anyone to get hurt!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 03:44:20 PM
Pterano held out his hand to shake Chomper's. A little frightening and intense at first then Pterano sunk into it as he began to relax. A small smile formed on his face as he calmed himself down.

"Why hello there, Chomper. So you know my nephew?" he asked.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 04:02:59 PM
"Yeah, I do know Petrie. Actually, we're best friends! Him and some of his friends hatched me, and sort of raised me."

"So, what about you? What are you doing out here?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 20, 2011, 04:18:16 PM
Zin watched the scene unfold, charmed by the strange coincidence of all these old friends meeting up, when he heard Chomper's question.

"You know...that's actually a good question. What are all you flyers doin' out here? You don't usually get such a big group of leafeaters in the Beyond. Usually they're solitary out here, like us."

He was suddenly hit by a slightly depressing thought "I-in fact, we hadn't seen any leafeaters since Redback and Tero brought us to meet you... Speaking of Tero, where's that strange boy gone?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 04:19:49 PM
"Well ummm...its a long story actually." Just then an idea hit the red flyer. "Well it is getting late." He gazed up at the starry night sky. "Umm...how about you come up to the cave and I'll tell you all about it."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 04:22:30 PM
"Sure, I LOVE listening to stories!"

Chomper was getting excited. He'd been pretty bored and lonely the last few weeks as well, so he was in the mood for a story.

Suddenly, his stomach growled again. In all this excitement, he forgot he was still hungry!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 04:28:49 PM
Petrie smiled as it seemed Chomper and his uncle were going to be able to get along quite well, which was of course very important to him. He frowned a bit as Chomper asked a pretty big question even without knowing it, about why Pterano was out here.

He didn't know what he could say, though. If he told Pterano he didn't have to talk about it it would sort of show Chomper's question might have been problimatic and he didn't want to hurt his friends feelings, plus he knew he couldn't explain it for Pterano or anything, everything being so...difficult. So the little flyer just stayed quiet. Harper gave him a reassuring smile though.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 04:40:57 PM
"Well that's great. Umm..." he frowned as regret filled his emotions, realizing what he had just done. "...You see...this is going to be very hard for me to explain. But I'll explain the best way that I can..." With that he led Chomper and everyone else back into the cave, spotting a couple of ground crawlers right when they got there. Pterano scooped some into his hands and passed them onto Chomper.

"Here you go, Chomper, if you'll like them." Pterano then began his story. "Well, you see...Umm...I did something terribly wrong and I feel deeply sorry for what I did..." He closed his eye as an unnoticed tear fell down. "It all started when I caught up with this herd along with my two comrades and I overheard a couple of rainbowfaces talk of this Stone of Cold Fire."

"What's that?" Artie asked curiously.

"Well, it's kinda this magical stone that could end all suffering. I wanted to do just that but..."He sighed. "I was...umm...I just didn't know how because I failed so much in my life."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 05:11:43 PM
Petrie and Harper both frowned as they listened. Of course both knew very well what had happened, but still, to hear Uncle Pterano telling of it.

"Y-Yeah, he only trying to help" Petrie pointed out in his uncle's defense as he told Chomper.

"Petrie" Harper whispered to her brother to tell him not to interrupt. She was having mixed feelings. She believed the way her uncle told of why he'd wanted to go after the stone but...everything her mom had said on what he'd done came back to the hatchling as she recalled what she'd heard just in kids always hearing more than adults knew about. Her mother had seemed to think Pterano's actions not so noble and thought out.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 05:12:11 PM
Chomper was glad when Pterano gave him a few ground crawlers to eat. It wouldn't fill him up much, but he could eat some more after he heard the story. He was used to being hungry anyway.

As he heard Pterano begin his tale, he got the inkling that this wasn't going to be a happy story.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 05:21:52 PM
"So in order to get the stone, there was one thing I had to do: Stay unnoticed. Except for my sister, no one noticed me." Pterano continued. "But I felt the urge I had to see Petrie because well...I missed him. Very much actually." He turned to the little flyer. "Your mother very clearly told me to stay away from you, but I just couldn't. I had to see you."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 05:31:22 PM
"Why did you not want to be seen? Someone not like you or something?" Chomper asked.

As Chomper said this, he thought back to the time he returned to the Great Valley. He was scared of the grownups at first, and it took a while for Littlefoot and his friends to help the grownups see he was nice. He remembered getting chased by Mr. Threehorn once. That was NOT fun!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 20, 2011, 05:37:16 PM
As Luke listened to Pterano's story, he felt it was more personal, and directed towards his nephew. He got up quietly and headed out of the cave to breath in the cold night air.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 05:39:07 PM
Petrie and Harper hadn't expected there to be any part of this story that they hadn't heard before, so they were both stunned at what Pterano said next.

Their...their mom had told him not to come around? Harper looked thoughtful, trying to figure out how she felt about this.

Petrie was even more confused than her over this news and...it was odd. He'd never been mad at his mom before, actually mad, but as he heard how she'd almost kept Uncle Pterano from seeing him...the young flyer had to push these thoughts aside.

He glanced up to Pterano again, "W-well me glad you did come..." he smiled.

Harper glanced over at Chomper at his question. That icky stomach falling feeling had already hit and she had an idea why, clearly remembering hearing about how Pterano had been kicked out after the incident with his herd. She recalled how hard it had been for her mother to tell the rest of them that on their way to the Valley and suddenly felt Petrie might not understand everything as well as he should. She'd try to explain to him later though and not interrupt.

"Mayday, mayday! Look out below!" a voice called from above, a few seconds later a brown flyer, Roger, crashed into the ground next to Luke. He rolled once and ended up on his back. "Still have to work on those landings"

Fury had stepped away from the entrance to the cave as his sorrow, guilt and anger threatened to overwhelm the child. He slowly began to pull his feathers out of his body and only went faster at it the more he thought about his haunting past. However the more upset he became the more of his feathers changed to their midnight blue hue of color. After a few more moments he began to scratch as his face leaving several shallow cuts. Fury in a moment of anger filled emotion gave a loud, almost ear splitting roar that was deep, almost horrific and shook a few pebbles on the ground. He then gazed at the others at the mouth of the cave, both jealous and enraged. I ask for t-their help... and they... ignore me?! HOW DARE THEY!!!' thought Fury to himself.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 05:53:38 PM
The red flyer turned to Chomper. "I'll tell you guys about that later." Pterano sighed. "Now where was I? Oh yes. After that, well...I talked with my comrades and we plotted to go after the stone when the Night Circle shrinks. We were going to do that after we earned everyone's trust, but then Ducky came along..."

"What happened?" Artie asked.

"I-" Oh dear, here comes the hard part... "I kidnapped her."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 20, 2011, 05:57:27 PM
"AAIEE!" Luke shrieked, his serene thoughts shattered by the brown figure crash landing next to him. Falling backwards and landing on his rump, he stared in shock at the flyer lying on his back. "Wha.. how... who are you?! You could have killed me!" he spluttered.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 20, 2011, 06:02:07 PM
Petrie glanced down as this part came up.

At the commotion outside, Harper peered out and the young one's beak all but dropped. There was....something...out there. Something with Luke and Fury on the ledge, but she wasn't sure if it had to do with the glider and thought probably not.

Outside though, it was obvious whatever was going on with him wasn't a trick of the light and this somehow just scared Harper more.

She just stayed where she was, watching.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 20, 2011, 06:02:29 PM
Chomper was too captivated by Pterano's tragic tale to notice all the commotion outside the cave.

"You kidnapped Ducky!?"

Chomper was flabbergasted by this. For a moment, he looked a lot more mean. He showed his teeth at Pterano, and growled for a second. Then he shook his head, and looked guilty.

"...sorry about that. I just kind of get that way when someone tries to hurt my friends."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 06:11:54 PM
Artie slapped him across the crest. "You kidnapped a child? Pterano, how could you?!?!" She crossed her arms around her chest and glared at him.

"I know...I know..." Pterano hung his head. This was way too painful for him. But Chomper deserved to know the truth. "So after a long night of flying, I took her and my comrades to a ledge to get some rest and things weren't going so well..."

"Why's that? Is it because of your foolish actions?" Artie snapped at him, slapping him a cross the crest once again.

(What? I had to add some humor to it! :lol )

Fury glanced over at the newcomer who'd landed on Luke and quickly bared his teeth and stepped forward clearly on the edge of deciding wether to attack the new flyer or not, but truth be told, his emotions were guiding him at this point, and nothing could be assured, or anyone considered safe. As he turned to speak, his voice echoed through the air and held an eerie, almost sinister tone and sounded almost exactly like a sharptooth. "You! Don't you dare move! Unless you like the feeling of death!" At this point all of Fury's feathers he hadn't pulled out, had changed color and he looked as crazy as he sounded.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

*Somebody needs to help Fury!! He's getting very mad! I'm gonna go grab a quick nighttime snack, and have a couple of fish...I mean quick...i'll be back in about 2 posts after I leave to grab some fish..*

Jared was fascinated about Chomper. He'd never seen a talking sharptooth before. As Pterano continued telling his story, Jared wanted to quickly go grab a couple fish and have a snack, a quick nighttime snack. The big water was just below and not very far from the cave at all. Jared knew the way...little did he know that there was a brown rhamphorhynchus he had never met before that had just crash landed outside the cave, talking with Luke...

Jared whispered into Rinkus's ear softly...

"Umm, dad, if it's ok with you, could I please fly quick to the big water and grab a couple fish...I want to go get a little night snack. I promise, i'll be right back. The water's just outside the cave down below. I know right where it is."

"Sorry" Roger said to Luke and then shook his head and looked at Fury, his one blue eye staring into the Glider as there was a eye-patch made of leaf where his other eye should have been. "Your an angry one aren't you? What'ts got your tail in a twist?"

Chomper noticed that Pterano was being silent for a while.

"What's wrong, Pterano? You don't want to finish the story?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 09:10:15 PM
Pterano snapped out of his thoughts. No matter how hard this was, Chomper deserved to know the truth, he reminded himself. "Yeah, I'm okay." He sighed again. "Ducky managed to sneak away from us and we chased her...for a little bit. And all of a sudden, she fell through a tiny whole in the ground. I swore, by my own life, she was dead." He let a few tears run down his eye. He just couldn't take it when he lost someone he was responsible. "When we chased your friends down that river, I couldn't feel more relieved that Ducky was safe. And at the same time, I was worried that my comrades would kill your friends if I didn't stop them. Didn't do a very good job though..."

As Pterano told of taking Ducky, Petrie had just stared at a spot on the floor, even as Chomper growled, but he glanced up as his uncle went on. "Y-yeah, him did try...me saw" the little flyer tried his best to defend his uncle, those times like these were hard.

Meanwhile from where she watched in fear, Harper somehow caught that this new flyer's words to Fury now were very, very dangerous. "F-Fury hold on" she stepped out. She was afraid every step she did. What was wrong with the gilder? Why, why was he acting like this.

Part of her knew. Miss Artie and even some of her attention had been shifted from some pain of his. She frowned. "Um, his tail's not in a bunch" she told the new flyer, "We...forgot. Sorry about that" she turned back to Fury, "My...my uncle, he...sort of...takes over people's attention sometimes. It, I don't think he can help it. but then...", seeing Fury's look again she paused, not sure what to say, or how to go on and even stepping back a bit in fear.

Chomper had to let this sink in. So, he thought he killed Ducky? Then his two...comrades tried to hurt his friends, and Pterano tried to stop them? He was still pretty confused. How could someone change that quickly?

"So, you tried to stop them? What happened next?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 20, 2011, 09:27:23 PM
"We crashed into a rock." Pterano chuckled a little. "And that stormy night, we spent the night in the mountains near Threehorn Peak which was where the stone landed. Sierra threatened he would finish off my nephew and his friends as soon as we reached the stone. Honestly, my first choice was to leave them for good, but then I figured out that if I did, they most likely would've gone after Petrie. So I stayed with them as much as it pained me to do so, because I knew I had to protect my nephew."

He looked down on his nephew, who was gazing up at him with utter shock and major admiration.

Rinkus nodded, and gave Jared a pat on the back. "Well alright. There's enough of us around to keep an eye on you. Just don't go further than that for now. I'll keep an eye on you from the cave entrance." Rinkus moved over to the opening, and nodded at Jared.

He looked down at Chomper with some trepidation, but figured if he hadn't attacked by now, he wasn't going to. It was still strange to Rinkus, but he was getting used to it.

Fury watched as Harper landed next to Roger and he hissed at her. He took a step forward when she took a step back. He wanted nothing more than to lash out, strike something, and draw blood... but he stopped and stared at Harper for a moment. Fury then raised his wings and rushed forward, wrapping the flyer in a hug. He shut his eyes and despite his anger still being dominant, Fury shed a single tear, but said nothing.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on June 20, 2011, 10:49:08 PM
Roger got to his feet and looked at Fury with a confused look, he decided it was best to leave him and Harper be for the while and turned to Luke. "Good day mate, names Roger, or Rog, or Ro if ya really lazy and want to make it short" he said doing what looked like a small salute.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 20, 2011, 11:24:14 PM
Jared went outside, and noticed Roger talking with Luke. "Oh, it's another longtail. he looks friendly." Jared thought in his head, as he smiled.

Then, he jumped into the air, and flew down to the water. It was time for a snack! "A-ha! There's a couple of fish." he said. He stuck his head in and grabbed two fish in his beak. Then, he flew back up to the cave and landed right in front of his dad with his beak still full.

Then, he swallowed his delicious snack. "Gulp! Ohh yummy! there's nothing like a little nighttime snack, dad :) ." said Jared to Rinkus, as he rubbed his tan belly.

"Oh, by the way.. I saw a new brown longtailed flyer talking to Luke outside. Don't worry though, he looks friendly."

Petrie just stared yet again. Everything was all swirling in his head. He wanted to believe this reason his uncle gave for having stayed with the others, wanted to so bad but the doubt and confusion was still there. Yet, as he gazed up at Pterano, he found that he did, for the most part, believe him. Slowly the hatchling smiled.

~~~~

Harper almost up and took to the sky as Fury rushed forward, but it turned out ok. He just...hugged her. Now even more confused and able to tell something was up, Harper slowly hugged him back. What [is wrong she wanted to ask, but couldn't make herself say anything.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 12:56:01 AM
"What happened next, Pterano?" Artie asked as she suddenly felt guilty about hitting him and scolding him the way she did.

"Well, the next morning, my cronies and I headed towards Threehorn Peak and there is where we met Petrie and his friends. As happy as I was to see them safe and unharmed, I marched straight to the stone and did exactly what my Uncle Peter taught me to do: spoke to the stone. And you know what happened next, Chomper?"

Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 21, 2011, 01:04:43 AM
Fury honestly didn't want to let go of Harper, something about her reminded him of everything he'd lost. But he did eventually let her go, but shortly after he did he growled again and began to once again pull the feathers out of his body and makes new shallow wounds with his claws. He wasn't sure what the others would think when they saw him cut and missing so many feathers, but in his anger he really didn't care, he just wanted to cause something pain and in the past his own body was the only thing he knew he could attack while in his angered state.

Redback and Zin watched as Chomper got aquainted with the other flyers. It was nice to see him making so many friends so quickly, but it still made them feel a little left out.

Redback looked to the sky and saw the bright circle beginning to sink. Stretching his limbs, he yawned loudly and headed towards the foot of the mountain. As he huddled down, he flinched as somthing bounced off his nose, followed by another. He looked up and watched as skywater began to rain down upon him.

"Great... Ontop of everything else, it's raining."

He closed his eyes, trying to get to sleep, and after a few moments, suddenly he felt the rain stop. Opening his eyes, he saw Zin lying beside him, one hand shielding him from the rain. Zin had cleverly used large palm leaves that had blown over from the grove, placing them inbetween his massive claws, to form a shelter of sorts.

"Here, we'll take care of that. You try to get some shuteye."

Redback smiled and snuggled down in his makeshift tent. He opened his eyes again as he saw a tiny lizard skitter over his arm. He grabbed it as it entered his hand, and popped it into his mouth. Just a quick bednight snack.

Zin sighed as he watched Redback begin to drop off. Gazing up to the cave, he heard the chatter of the flyers, no doubt telling great stories and having a fine time. But he looked even higher, up to the top of the ridge, and there, still as ever, was Tero.


The dark flyer looked down on the cave of flyers from his perch, no doubt keeping eachother warm, as a gentle, if cold, downpour of skywater began. He began to shiver, and drew his wings around him again. Stooping his head, he covered it with a wing, to keep the rain out. He wanted to go down, but he couldn't. First of all, where would he go? He hated hanging about in large groups, always having been a lone flyer. He only hung round with Redback and Zin because they provided food. And second, his twisted leg was acting up again. This always happened when it started to rain. Just a bit of moisture in the air, and his leg would be out of action for the night.

Huddling down against the rocks, he sat and waited.

Picking himself up, Luke looked warily at Roger, and decided he seemed friendly, though a little unusual. "I'm Luke" he said, returning the salute uncertainly. "At least you didn't land on Fury - you'd probably be missing a few limbs by now." Smirking at Roger, he asked; "Do you make a habit of, ah... landing like that?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on June 21, 2011, 03:50:31 AM
Roger chuckled embarrassingly "An unintentional habit, flying and all is great bit harder with one eye. But I got used to it...sorta" he said before looking at Fury. "Fury huh? Name fits. Who put buzzers in his beak?" he said to Luke, pointing at Fury.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 08:39:27 AM
"It gave you some kind of power? Or it hurt you? Ooh, it blew up!"

Chomper was just being silly, playing along with Pterano.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 21, 2011, 11:01:19 AM
Petrie had to smile at Chomer's guess, especially the last one. After all the horrible stuff being brought back up, it helped to ease the tensions a bit.

Harper just frowned again as Fury seemed to turn on himself again. Why did he feel he had to do that anyway? She gently took one of his wrists, frowning concern. She tried to think of something to say and as she noticed the sky water coming down she found one thing.

"Getting kind of late and starting to rain, maybe we should head in?" she turned to Luke and Roger as well.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 01:37:51 PM
Pterano chuckled at the young sharptooth. "Actually it did young one. Luckily we weren't there to see it. My cronies were." He chuckled at the thought, he would have told Chomper what happened to Rinkus and Sierra, but with them in the cave, he didn't even bother knowing it could hurt them too much. He turned to his nephew and smiled. "Petrie, would you mind telling the rest of the story?" He figured it would've been less painful for Petrie, now that he was at the time he redeemed  himself.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 01:58:38 PM
"Yes, I noticed him as well." Rinkus stated with a nod. "It seems our little cabal is growing then, isn't it?" he asked, admring the tasty looking fish with his eyes. "I might just have to excuse myeslf to get some of that." he commented, watching as Jared gulped them down.

Sierra, who had been at the mouth of the cave for a bit (largely ignored), rolled his eyes at Pterano's story. "Is that all you ever do, Pterano?" he asked. "Brag about yourself?" He quieted down after that though, as Pterano had asked Petrie to finish the story.

The brown flyer ambled over to Devon, not wanting to get too close just yet. He was cautious, as if he was afraid of closing the distance. "So uh... you have dinner yet?" he asked, keeping his voice low so that the conversation would stay between the blue flyer and himself.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 02:03:49 PM
"No, not yet." Pterano turned over to Rinkus. "Hey Mr. Rinkus? Could you go grab us some breakfast, please? We'd really appreciate it." He then looked at Sierra. "So welcome back, Mr. Sierra. We missed you!" Not really...but he did seem a litte depressed earlier. "Where have you been?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 02:09:38 PM
"Eheheheheh." Rinkus half chuckled, and gave Pterano a sarcastic look. "Well, why don't we all go out if you're hungry? Jared just did that." he pointed at the fish Jared was eating. "I don't have enough room in my beak to carry all that."

Sierra only looked up at Pterano, blinking. "Around. Flying. I was asking Devon here if he'd had dinner yet..." he pointed at the blue flyer before lowering his eyes again to his son. "Just... wanted to know if he wanted to maybe get something to eat." his words were slow, and hesitant, as he sounded uncertain of himself, but tried to speak clearly all the same.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 02:21:44 PM
Pterano stared at Sierra wierd. What the heck has gotten into him? But Devon just smiled at him and nodded. "I would love to go with you, Dad." Devon replied.

Pterano's eyes went wide as he gave them both a confused look. What has gotten into Devon? Since when do they get along? Who am I talking to? He got up on his feet, for he had a fishy feeling about this...and not the kind of fishy feeling when you eat fish. I mean the kind of fishy feeling that something was not right. "Alright, but I'm going with you two."

"Naw, it's okay, Dad." Devon placed a hand on his adopted father's shoulder. "You can stay and finish the story if you want. And besides, Petrie and Chomper need someone to watch over them, right?"

"Oh! Right," Pterano turned to Artie. "Could you be so kind watch over my nephew and his friend for me?"

Artie wanted to refuse, for she was never good at watching kids for long. But she could tell by Pterano's face this was an emergency so she nodded.

"Oh, thank you, Artie. You're the best." Pterano told her, spreading his wings. "I'm kind of hungry, now that Mr. Sierra mentions it. I'll bring you some food, I promise."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 02:34:30 PM
Sierra froze, and felt like he was going to choke. Devon said YES? He almost fainted. He not only said YES, but he said he'd LOVE to? His knees were quavering, though he tried not to show that as his woozy feeling refused to leave him.

But even MORE than that, Devon had called him "dad", and also offered to go alone with him. Now he was dizzy, and wobbled a little. Pterano of course managed to talk his way into going along, and Sierra had to snap himself out of his little daze before he could continue with his thoughts.

"Uh... well Pterano... I was wondering if maybe it could just be... me and him?" he asked, shaking his head to try and clear it. "I mean... I know you'd want to go, and you have every right to... but I'm just... asking that maybe this one time..." he fiddled with this claws, rubbing them together in a distracted fashion.

Chomper had gotten up for a moment at all the talk of breakfast. He overheard fish. He pointed this at anyone who would listen

"So, you flyers having fish for dinner? Could someone bring me back some too please? I'm really hungry!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 02:52:21 PM
Pterano thought this long and hard. Sierra was sure acting strange...better yet, he was acting...dare he say it...POLITE???? As much as Pterano wanted to trust Sierra, he couldn't help but think this could all be a trick to beat up Devon again.

"Dad, it's okay." Devon told him, wrapping his arms around Pterano's neck to comfort him. "Nothing's going to happen to me, I promise."

Pterano hugged his adopted son back, never wanting to let go of him, for the second he does, it could be, "Bye bye, Devon" for good. He tightened his arms around the boy, pulling him close, still too worried to say anything.

As much as Devon wanted this to hurry up so he can go with his biological dad, he rubbed Pterano's crest. "I'll be fine, Dad...I promise." He kissed him on the cheek.

Pterano took a deep breath. If this was what Devon wanted, then Pterano would be more than happy to respect his wishes and support him. He finally let go of him, whispering the words, "Be careful."

"I will," Devon gave him another kiss to the cheek before spreading his wings.

"You be good to him, Sierra." Pterano told the brown flyer suspiciously.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 03:04:54 PM
"As careful as I can be." Sierra said, about to roll his eyes, but stopping himself from doing so. "I ain't out to harm him... I just... thought about what he said... and how he wanted to give me another chance... if I don't at least try... for my son's sake... then what sort of flyer am I anyway?" he asked.

He wasn't about to let on at just how excited he felt over this, and kept it well contained for the moment. Spreading his wings out, he looked down at Chomper. "Sure... after we eat, we'll bring ya something back. I'm sure between the two of us it won't be too hard." he commented. "You uh... ready then... Devon?" he asked, looking over at him expectantly.

Post by: Allicloud on June 21, 2011, 03:05:30 PM
Tero watched as the group of flyers took off from the ledge below. Wingbrains. Don't they know how dangerous it is to fly during skywater?! Especially at night.

He simply shrugged as he got up, shook the drops of water from his wings, and slowly clambered down to the ledge. There, he took his usual seat on the edge of the cliff, wrapped his wings around himself and sat in silence.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 03:08:31 PM
"Oh yeah! Bring it on!" Devon told him, taking off ahead of his father. (Let the father son bonding begin! :lol )

This left Pterano deep in his thoughts as he still tried to figure this out. Wait a minute! Devon gave him a second chance?
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 03:12:43 PM
"Hmph." Sierra gave out a puff of air from his nostrils, but in more of a game fashion than contempt. "Alright... let's do this!" and he too launched himself off of the cave's edge. It was raining, but he didn't mind it. It actually felt sort of good. "I bet you know all sorts of tricks from flying with Pterano, huh? Well why don't you show me some of your stuff?" he asked, giving his son a smug but confident look.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 03:16:35 PM
"ALRIGHTY DAD!!!" With that the young flyer flipped backwards and took a dive for the water, head first and body straight, free falling for a little bit until he was ten feet from the water. He shot himself into the air and caught up with his father. "Take that!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 03:19:37 PM
"Heheh." Sierra chuckled. "Well that was impressive. I take it you learned that from him? For a minute there, I thought you were gonna hit the water, as it seemed like you had I dunno, passed out or something. Shoulda known it was all part of your trick, though, or fancy flying. You know anything else?" he asked, easing himself into his flight now and becoming a bit more relaxed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 03:32:27 PM
Chomper turned to Petrie, his stomach still growling.

"So, you wanna finish the story? You wanna?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 03:34:56 PM
Rinkus took note of the grumbling of Chomper's stomach. "Here now, what's this?" he asked. "Something tells me those two might be gone for a bit, so you want I should catch you some fish, then?" he looked down at the sharptooth, figuring it was a probably a good idea to do so before he got too hungry.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 03:36:52 PM
"Sure, I'd love that!"

Chomper saw Rinkus worried look, and added.

"It's just, I didn't want to go out tonight and...look for something to eat."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 03:47:23 PM
"That's fine. I'd fare a little better I think, what with my wings and all." the pink flyer stated, and flew off of the cliff ledge and towards the lake that Jared had gone to earlier.

The flight took him barely any time at all, as it was off in the distance, and just visible from the cave entrance. Soaring downward, he scooped one up from in his jaws, and proceeded to feast upon it, swallowing after he was done. The hunter eyed his next catch, and dove once again.

~~~~~~~~~~

A few moments later, Rinkus returned, plopping two fat fish down in front of Chomper. "There you are. Hope that's enough for ya." he stated, flapping back up to the ledge.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 04:14:10 PM
Devon thought for a moment. "Oh yeah, watch this." With that, Devon flew ahead of his father, heading diaganally (if I spelt that right...) towards the ground first before shooting himself up into the air, circling the clouds and forming and ice cream like shape before catching up with his father once again. "Another trick Pterano has taught me. And he taught me how to capture sharpteeth as well!"

-----------------------------------------------

Pterano watched from the cave enterance. As happy as he was to see his adopted son bond with his comrade, he was beginning to feel a little lonely. Devon was gonna spend alot more time with Sierra, now that they're no longer hating eachother.

Pterano wanted Devon to be happy, but he also wanted him to be safe. What if Sierra really is tricking him?

He sighed, letting tears run down his cheeks.

(Aww...poor Pterano...SOMEONE HELP COMFORT HIM!!!!)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 04:25:56 PM
Chomper happily gulped both of the fish down. This was actually a good sized meal for him, and he didn't feel hungry anymore.

"Thanks a lot Mister!"

Chomper saw that Pterano was starting to tear up, so he walked up to his side and asked.

"Hey Pterano. What's wrong?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 04:34:46 PM
Sierra whistled a little at Devon's aerial acrobatics. "Well that is pretty impressive." he murmured, before Devon rejoined him. "Pretty fancy stuff he showed ya." he said. He suddenly felt a twinge of regret, as he realized that he should've been the one to show his son these things.

"Catch a sharptooth eh? Well I have something to show you as well. We can trade, I guess. I'm taking you to a lake that's not as close to the cave, but that's because there's something there that I want you to see." he explained. The lake was at the top of some mountains, having been a collection spot for rainwater in the previous decades.

Landing on the rocky shores of the still lake, a small stream could be seen stretching off to cascade down the mountains in dazzling spray. The interesting thing about this region though, was the unusual stack of rocks that they could see on the shores. Someone had piled them up to make different shapes, and some had logs sticking out of them as well. They weren't anything in particular aside from shapes. "Here... over here." Sierra strolled over to the rock formations, and tapped one with his hand. "See these? I... built these... a long time ago, when I was around your age. I just put together whatever came to mind." he told his son, motioning to the group of small structures that littered the lake side.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Artie placed a comforting hand on his shoulders, she knew exactly what's going on. "Don't worry, Pterano. You're not gonna lose Devon." She told him softly.

--------------------------------------------------

"Whoa! You built those! That's friggin awesome! How'd you do it?" Devon asked, smiling at the brown flyer.

"He's a little... odd," Luke replied to Roger, "It's nothing personal against you." Turning to Harper, Luke nodded. "You're right. We should get inside. Wanna join us Roger? If you couldn't land when it was clear, I don't know how safe it'll be if it's raining."

Looking out at the mysterious beyond, he muttered to himself; "I hope Jared gets back soon. You could get lost in this weather."

"Hey, Tero!" Luke called up to where the silent flyer was perched, "You should come in as well! So you won't, you know, die from the cold!"

Post by: Mama's Girl on June 21, 2011, 05:20:57 PM
Petrie gave a small smile, "Sure, uncle". He turned to Chomper and was about to finish the story when the whole thing with Devon and Sierra cropped up. Petrie noticed it a lot, though, how...unlike last time Sierra was acting. From having nothing but remembering that about the mean flyer the contrast was very stark. Rinkus was trying to be good now, the little one thing, maybe...maybe everyone was trying to be good.

Rinkus even proved this by next offering to go find Chomper something. That went far in Petrie's leaf collection (book :lol) and he now gave the pink flyer a very genuine, relaxed, smile.

He noticed his uncle looking upset along with Chomper though and moved over as well as Chomper asked if Pterano was ok.

"Yeah, and you still have me and Harper" Petrie said, flapping up to Pterano's shoulder, "and even Chomper" he grinned down at his friend.

Flying back down, he went on, "But me finish the story for you" he told Chomper.

"After is when it really get good too, 'cause Uncle Pterano he do good like he say he want to all along. We all up there after stone no work and me mama come to find us and...well...yell at uncle for us being there, when suddenly everything go all shaky. Uncle Pterano think it the stone, but it turn out it just earthshake. Ducky almost fell, well...did fall" Petrie frowned as he remembered this. Even if this was the part of the story where everything turned good, they hadn't known that at the time and Petrie had just had to watch his best friend tumbling down.

"Uncle Pterano, he fly out and save her, though!" the young flyer said in pure admiration, "and everyone happy about that. When we get back, he still have to face Littlefoot grandparents for what he do, and they banish him for five cold times, but it lot less since he help save Ducky and...now he all better". This last part might not have been completely true yet, but Petrie's faith treated it like it was and he smiled over at his uncle.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 05:41:35 PM
And all of a sudden, just by Petrie finishing up the story and comforting him, Pterano was filled up with joy. He scooped up the young flyer in a hug against his chest. "Oh you! You always know what to say, don't you, Petrie?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 06:11:39 PM
Chomper watched as Pterano started to feel better, and even hugged Petrie! They looked so happy together, he just wanted to join in, so he walked up and hugged one of Pterano's legs.

"I'm happy that your happy now, Pterano!"

He then thought about the ending of his little mis-adventure some more.

"So, you ended up saving Ducky in the end? That's really good! You seemed like a pretty good flyer to me when we met earlier, so I kinda thought you'd do the right thing in the end. I'm sorry that your banished out here, though. I kind of feel like I'm banished out of the Great Valley too."

Chomper got a little emotional as he remembered his predicament again. He looked down at the ground and sighed. He missed all of his friends in the Valley, and he wondered if he'd ever see them again. A tear formed in his eye.

Sierra couldn't help but smile as he saw his son's face. It was like he was REALLY seeing his son's face, and not just the flyer he'd been abusing all these years. "Well... back then I was still torn over whether or not I really loved your mother or not. I was a bit confused by all those emotions runnin' through me, so I used to just sit up here and build these. Here..."

He bent over, and picked up a rock, using both hands due to its size. "I'd just start stackin' 'em like this, see?" he put first one down, and then another next to it, and put a third on top of those two. "You can make anything you basically think about." he pointed to one with four "legs", a middle base, and a "tower" on top. "Like that one over there." he explained, and then held a medium sized rock out for his son. "You want to try?"

"Sure thing, Dad!" Devon did exactly as his father had told him as Sierra watched with full amazement. Devon was really getting the hang of this.

--------------------------------------------------

"Aww, come here, you!" Pterano beamed, scooping the little sharptooth up next to Petrie against his chest.

"Heheh." Sierra chuckled, beginning to smile again in spite of himself. "So whatcha makin' there?" he asked, standing a respectful distance away to see his son's handiwork. "You're actually quite the builder. I didn't think you'd pick it up so fast."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 08:32:21 PM
(Pterano, are we gunna do the same thing to surprise Jared like we did last time?)

"It's a statue of you!" Devon replied as the rock formation began to take Sierra's shape. "I'll do Pterano next. His sixtieth starday is tomorrow and I just thought I'd make a little sumthin sumthin for him...as soon as I'm done making this for you."

(I am loving this Sierra maybe being a little bit better, at least towards his own son, idea Pterano :DD)

Petrie smiled back at his uncle, hugging him back. He smiled over at Chomper too as the sharptooth was scooped up. "We see Littlefoot and others again, me sure" the little flyer said.

Roger looked out at the sky, seeing the weather and thought. "Yes, got a point there lad" he then looked at the cave. "Ya sure there's enough space? I wouldn't want to squeeze in there and make all of you uncomfortable"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 21, 2011, 09:02:40 PM
"Oh that reminds me." Chomper said as he let go of Pterano and Petrie.

"Can I sleep in this cave too? I don't like getting wet, and I kind of like caves anyway."

Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 09:07:56 PM
Sierra took a look and began admiring the form taking shape. "Well lookey there. That is a pretty striking resemblance, if I do say so myself." he said, nodding thoughtfully as he watched his son work. "Well why don't you go ahead and craft Pterano when you're done, then? I'm sure the old flyer would appreciate it." He said, trying not to tack on anything unpleasant about Pterano, as he was still trying to let his son give him this second chance after all, and kept himself in check, simply stating that Pterano would probably like the gesture.

Fury looked at Harper for a few moments as he felt her holding his wrist. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he scoffed, and roughly pulled his wing away from her and stepped closer to the ledge at the mouth of the cave and simply stood in the rain and let it soak through what feathers he had left. His anger, and sorrow wouldn't allow him to be comforted but at least with the skywater falling Fury didn't feel the need to attack himself anymore.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 09:43:50 PM
"Gladly! Will you help me with my Pterano structure when I'm done?" Devon asked with pleading eyes towards his father.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 10:22:29 PM
"Uhhh... well yeah, sure. Sure I can help!" Sierra replied, considering this only a second before he gave his son a firm nod, and watched him work. He moved up to his son's side a second after, and said, "I can help you with this one too if you want." he reached out to get a rock, to hand to his son, giving him a nod and a smile.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 10:24:59 PM
Devon smiled at the brown flyer. "Thanks Dad!"

Pterano smiled at the young sharptooth. "Why, of course, Chomper. The more the merrier as they say."

Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 10:32:34 PM
"Sure! I uh... sort of like this actually. And I'm glad you like it too. Here... I got a long rock for the beak." he said, and held it for his son. "You do the honors, OK? I want you to put the finishing touches on me, so to speak."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 10:37:12 PM
"No problemo, Dad." With that, the blue flyer placed the finished the sculpture.  "Now, shall we start on the Pterano sculpture?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 10:57:39 PM
"Yeah sure. Remember to get his big head just right." Sierra joked, laughing a little as he started making a rock pile for Devon to choose from. He went around, gathering them up and placing them down in the pile, whilst also clearing some ruble with his feet, making a flatter area for his son to work.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 11:00:25 PM
" :lol Good one. Just don't tell Pterano we joked about his head, alright?" Devon walked towards the rock pile. "Now let's see here..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 11:03:54 PM
"Well, don't worry, I won't. I guess we shouldn't choose TOO big of a rock for his head, then huh? Otherwise, he might catch on. Here... try this one." he said, handing over a medium sized melon shaped rock.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 11:04:54 PM
" :lol Thanks." With that, Devon started building the head.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 11:16:11 PM
"Yeah heheh, once that's done... well actually, I'll start with this legs and the base. I've got two fat ones that could be his legs... well at least his legs when he's sitting, as your muscles get all bunched up when you sit. So yeah... these'll be his legs." he set them down, and balanced them by building a rock foundation around them. "There, makes it look like he's sitting on rocks. Made out of rocks." he said, shaking his head with another chuckle.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 11:19:28 PM
"The head's done!" Devon shouted, patting his father in the back after finishing the eyes.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 11:25:42 PM
"Heh... yeah... and here's the body." He rolled a boulder over. "You think this one makes him look fat?" he asked, unsure himself as he stood beside it.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 11:28:38 PM
" :lol I can imagine him saying that right now. 'Does this sculpture make me look fat?"' Devon laughed. "Let's find a skinnier rock so he doesn't notice, alright?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 11:37:40 PM
"Ah, OK, sure." Sierra rolled the rock away, and picked out a thinner one. "This one should do, then. But yeah, he probably would notice something like that. Silly really, but it'd only be a joke. Here." he rolled it up against the legs, making the "body" of Pterano. "Go ahead and put that enormous head on him now." Sierra chuckled, knowing it wasn't THAT big.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 21, 2011, 11:41:40 PM
"With pleasure, Dad!" with that, the young flyer placed the head on Pterano's "fat" body.

Post by: Pterano on June 21, 2011, 11:43:59 PM
"There... all done. Now what do you say to catching some fish for those other lazy good for nothings?" he asked, rolling his eyes, as really only Pterano had requested the meal. He wasn't aware that Rinkus had already gotten his own food.

**Aww man. I got lost again...when I left for work this afternoon it was on page 20..and when I came home... it  was on page 22.

Ok, I know Sierra is watching Devon make a sculpture of himself...and Devon just started making one of Pterano..  Now Pterano is feeling very sad because Devon is hanging around Sierra more than him.  :cry

When I landed in front of Rinkus when I grabbed my fish snack, I flew back to the cave and landed right in front of him. If I read right...Rinkus went to grab some fish for himself and then fly back to me in Pterano's cave. I think Artie, Chomper, and Fury are in the cave, too.

Can someone just remind me where everyone is at and what I should/could do next. Rinkus and I still have that bedtime massage to do.  ;)


 I wonder if it's getting close to bedtime in the story..... Can someone just tell me where everyone's at and what I could do next?  ;)

Okay, I'll try.

Pterano just got finished telling his story about the stone of cold fire.

Fury is hugging Harper.

It started raining and Chomper's sleeping in the cave. (Not now, but later on)

That's all I can remember.

Jared peeked his head outside the cave and let Luke and Roger know he was back.

"Hey, Luke. I'm back. I don't think you saw me when I got back here to the cave. Don't worry, I made it back ok. Why don't you bring your brown friend inside the cave, too. Come on in, you two. I hate seeing both of you standing out in the skywater getting soaked."

Then Jared looked at Roger. "By the way, my name's Jared. Both of you, come on in, dry off, and meet my dad and the gang. You'll love them." said Jared, as he walked back into Pterano's cave, motioning his wing at Luke and Roger to follow him in.

Once Jared entered the cave, he walked right up to Rinkus and said. "Hey dad, our new brown long-tailed flyer is coming in here with Luke right now  :) . We all should give him a nice welcome." said Jared, smiling at his dad. "I'm also happy to hear that Chomper liked the fish you brought him."  :yes
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 22, 2011, 10:08:38 AM
Sierra nodded as he thought that over. "I'd say that'd suit me just fine. I'm not much for mornings, but I know Pterano is even less so, so gettin' up before him shouldn't be too much of a hassle." the cearadactylus confessed. He flew up into the sky water, and zoomed low over the lake, scanning for suitable catches. Upon seeing one, he dove upon it, snapping it up in his hungry jaws and bringing it back to the shore. Dropping it down, he began to go to work on it, and turned to see how his son was doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rinkus nodded. "Oh yes, that young sharptooth rather did enjoy it. I was glad I could get him SOMETHING, because well... he was looking a little hungry, and not that I don't trust him, but he IS a... well..." He trailed off, shaking his head and not wanting to say too much. "Anyway, I'm glad his appetite's been appeased."

Harper watched as Fury walked further away again, just still wondering what all was going on. She'd have yanked him inside out of the skywater if she thought it worth-while, but she could tell she'd done about all she could for the moment so she walked back into within the shelter of the caves again. Shaking the water off she glanced back outside to where Tero was too. He was coming in too, right? Oh well, only his friends could make him do that.

Harper turned to where Petrie and Chomper were once more. "Yeah Chomper" Petrie was telling his friend, "we give you spot right next where we sleep".

"Speaking of that" Harper walked over, "I can sort of tell that besides Miss Artie it's all boys here, these nest are...well...shambly as mom would say. I'm thinking they need some fixing".

"If we just sleeping on them who care?" Petrie asked her.

"Cool, now let's get going, shall we?" Devon said, taking off towards the Big Water, fallowed by Sierra.

Post by: Allicloud on June 22, 2011, 03:05:57 PM
A sudden gust of wind blew the leaves from Zin's hand, exposing the sleeping Redback to the elements. He stirred as he felt the patter of rain on his snout and woke up.

He grunted as he looked about, and gazed up at the caves where the Flyers were staying. They must all be so warm in there, all crowded together...mmm, self-cooked flyers...
He turned his gaze up to Tero, still perched on his ledge. Wasn't he ever gonna come back down?!
Suddenly, a malicious grin stretched across his face. Standing up and pushing Zin's arm aside, he stooped down and grabbed a small pebble and hurled it with all his strength at Tero.

He smiled in satisfaction as he heard the juicy KLUNK as it struck him right in the beak. The flyer slipped from his perch and slid down the mountainside until he landed with a CRUNCH on the ledge just outside the cave. He watched as Tero got stirred. He wasn't hurt, luckily, and it looked like he had little clue what happened.

Getting up off the damp ground of the ledge, he looked into the cave, wherein sat most of the flyers. Shrugging, he took a breath and went inside and shook the water from his skin and sat down, still keeping apart from the others.

Post by: vonboy on June 22, 2011, 07:36:50 PM
"Thanks Petrie!" He turned to Harper.

"Really? It's that messy? I didn't really notice!"

He was starting to get sleepy after a long, eventful day.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 22, 2011, 07:41:15 PM
Sierra nodded, and took off, heading back for the sea, and their cave. He made sure to scoop up some fish in his beak for Pterano, and in case Chomper needed an extra snack before bed. They wriggled in his mouth a little, but he was able to keep them contained, and reached the cave about ten to fifteen minutes after setting out.

"Here you go, Pterano. Food." He let the fish out of his mouth onto the ground, and looked over at Chomper. "There's some for you too if you want any. Wasn't sure if you'd eaten yet, or not." he stated, unaware that Rinkus had in fact brought him some food earlier on.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 22, 2011, 08:20:25 PM
The first thing Devon did when they reached the cave, he attacked Pterano with a big hug around the neck. "Happy early starday, Dad!"

Pterano hugged the boy back tightly. He didn't care about his upcoming star day, he just cared that his beloved adopted son was safe. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he asked frantically, cupping his cheek.

"No, silly goose," Devon laughed. "We had a blast! My dad's really cool now that he isn't abusing me anymore!"

Pterano just hugged him again, kinda like a worried mother would do to her child. "I'm so glad your okay..."

Sierra rolled his eyes at this as he held out the fish for Pterano. The two flyers broke the big emotional hug and Pterano turned to Sierra, taking the fish and stuffing it in his mouth. "Thank you."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 22, 2011, 08:28:02 PM
Chomper grabbed one of the fish that the flyer brought back and ate it whole.

"I should eat what I can eat. Out here, you never know when you'll get to eat again!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 22, 2011, 08:29:57 PM
"Of course you didn't notice, you're a boy" Harper told Chomper, yet with a grin to show she didn't mean any insult, "Actually they're not that bad I suppose". Harper rearranged and straightened a few leaves and twigs here and there but otherwise left everything alone.

As he caught what Devon said, Petrie whirled about, "It you starday tomorrow?! How me not know that!".

Harper laughed, "Petrie you almost forgot my starday last time, and we have the same one!". Her brother grimaced, "Oh yeah..." he turned back to Pterano, "Well me still gonna come up with some surprise".

"Except that you just told him about it" Harper pointed out.

Fury stood in the rain, letting the cold skywater run across his feathers and down his face. With each drop his anger lessened and his wounds stung with every drop of water. He looked down at a reflection of himself in a puddle and gave a sad, weeping sigh. The poor glider wanted nothing more than to break down and cry for all he'd gone through, but he couldn't, because deep down inside, Fury still felt like a monster... too different and dangerous to be around anyone else, but... he still wanted to show that he wanted compassion and friendship. "H-help me...." he whispered to himself, knowing that the odds of the others hearing him were almost none.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on June 23, 2011, 12:12:20 AM
Roger looked at Fury and thought to himself. "I'll be in in a minute" he said to Luke and Jared before slowly approaching Fury. "'Ello lad, something eatin' ya?" he spoke still standing a good distance away.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 23, 2011, 02:54:55 AM
Tero watched on hungrily as food was brought in by some of the flyers. Licking his beak, he wanted to ask if he could have one. Curse this muteness of mine.

He got up and approached the group. Sheepishly he pointed to one of the leftover fish, and back to himself, repeating the gesture a few times to make sure they get the message.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 23, 2011, 03:01:43 AM
Pterano noticed Tero as he held his last fish in his hand. He smiled and walked right towards the silent flyer. "Here you go, young one." He told him softly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 23, 2011, 03:08:17 AM
Tero took the fish from Pterano's hand, glancing into the older flyer's eyes briefly before squatting on the ground. He devoured the fish hungrily, holding it by the head and tail like a corncob, until the last remnants were a skeleton with a fishy head and tail, and some spatters of slime on his beak.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 23, 2011, 03:20:42 AM
Luke shrugged and left Roger to talk to Fury. As he entered the cave, he was met with a familiar sweet smell. "Oh good, fish," he said to himself, clasping his hands. As he bent down to pick one up, he noticed Sierra and Devon seemed closer than before. Damn, he thought, it would have been more fun if there'd been a confrontation between Sierra and Pterano. For him, at least.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on June 23, 2011, 04:33:37 AM
"Uh yeah, sure thing Pterano, whatever you say. You asked for the fish after all, so here's your dinner." he stated casually, as if he figured Pterano would quickly forget this act.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 23, 2011, 04:43:29 AM
(Okay guys I think its time to call it a night)

Pterano nodded politely at Sierra before laying down. "Whew, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired."

"Uhh...me too." Devon agreed, watching as Sierra laid himself down by the wall. Devon without a word laid himself down next to his father, nuzzling him before slowly drifting off into a sleep.

Pterano watched this. As happy as he felt for Devon for he and his dad finally found peace with eachother, he couldn't help but feel lonely. He sighed.

(Mama's Girl, could you have Petrie cuddle with Pterano? And Harper too...if she'd like?  He's very lonely and I'm sure he'll appreciate it. And Vonboy, could you have Chomper cuddle with Pterano as well?)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 23, 2011, 10:45:24 AM
(Oh no worries, that's what I had planned)

As the fish was all brought in, Harper noticed Petrie looking a bit hesitant. Truth be told, she completely understood the sentiment. They were fully aware of a flyer's ability to eat fish, of course, but...well the two had alway stuck to green food even before entering the Great Valley and then while in it the habit had only been further developed.

Harper was going to pass, munching on some leaves she'd found off a nearby bush and got for her and her brother, but she could tell why Petrie was hesitating. He wanted to try it, wanted to prove he could eat fish just like Uncle Pterano.

"maybe..." he began to her.

"You know you'll throw up" Harper bluntly whispered to her brother to which he just sighed, knowing she was right. "Don't worry, we're not weird, it's just...a habit thing" she went on to reassure.

As the two kids finished up and found themselves yawning even now, the adults seemed to get the same idea and begin to settle down. Petrie walked over to where Pterano was, looking a bit down he noticed. The hatchling had an idea why that could be.

Harper signalled to Chomper that he could walk over too as she followed her brother.

"Um, Uncle Pterano..." Petrie asked, tugging lightly on the flyer's wing, "You think...maybe...me sleep by you?".

"Yeah, the both of us and Chomper, if he wants" Harper said, walking up as well and smiling first to the sharptooth and then her uncle.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 23, 2011, 12:02:54 PM
Jared yawned. "Hoooaaaaahhhhummmmm....  I'm getting tired, too Pterano. Yeah, Petrie and Harper really should sleep with you. They're your nephew and niece after all! :) and there'll be enough room for Chomper to sleep with you, too."

"Don't worry about me, though Pterano. I know who i'm sleeping with tonight. heh heh heh! :D " said Jared, as his beak turned into a huge, toothy grin. Then, he turned to his pink dad, still smiling, and winked at him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 23, 2011, 12:28:45 PM
Chomper yawned, and walked over to where Petrie and Harper had already laid down. He snuggled against both of the young flyers, and drifted off to sleep.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 23, 2011, 12:44:14 PM
**Just a reminder, everyone (especially Pterano the user), before I go to bed I need to massage Rinkus, then he'll massage me...then, we'll go to sleep..i'll snuggle right up to Rinkus...and slip out a tiny little high-pitched "pft!" fart...too small to even smell.... and only Rinkus and I will hear it. It'll be that quiet. We'll both snicker at each other.. and have a funny little father/son moment before I snuggle my head up to his nice, warm, pink belly, and fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.  :smile . That's my plan, guys.**

"'Night, Chomper." Jared told the little purple sharptooth.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 23, 2011, 01:59:13 PM
Pterano looked down at Petrie's sleepy eyes and chuckled, opening an arm. "Aww...come here, little nephew." Pterano whispered as Petrie climed right on top of his uncle's chest and rested his head on his neck ring, snuggling up against his neck.

Pterano chuckled as he wrapped his arms around his nephew before bring up Harper and Chomper against his chest. He smiled at the sleepy children and all of a sudden, that gash of loneliness was no longer in him, but was replaced by utter happiness. He tightened his arms securely around the children, pulling them closer so they could listen to his heartbeat. "Goodnight, children..."

Tero rested his back on the wall, watching the others all drift off to sleeep. All except him, of course. He never slept. He just sat there, eyes wide open, waiting for the dawn. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep. He was tired beyond belief, as he always was, resulting in his half-dead appearance. But he knew that if he slept, He would come back for him.

Fury nearly jumped out of his feathers when he heard Roger speaking to him. The young glider turned his head for a moment and through saddened eyes let a few tears fall, despite the rain and he shivered as he replied, "I'm... just cold. C-can I come into the cave now?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 23, 2011, 03:29:14 PM
Now Artie saw her chance. She walked right over towards Fury and opened her arms. "Of course you can, little guy. You're always welcome here. Come here." she drifted off, waiting for the young glider to jump into her arms.

Luke leaned with his back against the wall, watching the others settling down. It had been a busy day, and whenever he was busy he could never sleep. Wandering over to the cave entrance, he sat down to look at the rain falling from the sky.

He noticed Tero, who was also awake. "You're not going to sleep? Actually, that doesn't suprise me... Are you okay? You look kind of worried."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 23, 2011, 07:52:03 PM
Petrie smiled, nestling up beside Pterano  and drifting off first even as Harper and Chomper also climbed over. "Thanks" Harper smiled, "Night everyone" she said to whoever would hear it even as she drifted off.

"Of course lad, not gonna have ya ou' here freezing" Roger said as he opened a wing and held it over Fury's head to block the rain.

((this may be my last post in this thread for a bit. I'm going to Disney for my 25th Birthday in a few days, and will be busy from tomorrow on. I'll be back next Thursday, a week from today, so I just hope I don't get left TOO far behind. :( Trulyfantasticme can have my characters after I'm gone, and hopefully I can pick them back up when I get return.))

Sierra felt Devon moving up against him, and he reacted with surprise initially, and then wrapped his wing around his son. "Aww... well goodnight Devon." he said, absolutely caught off guard by this move. He had been expecting Devon to go with Pterano, so this was a pleasant end to his evening, and he smiled as he closed his eyes, patting his son on the back.

Rinkus wished everyone else a good night along with Jared, and went over to his part of the cave. "Well then, I suppose I'm going first in this massage, right?" Rinkus asked, lying down flat on his belly and stretching his wings forward and letting his tail drape limply on the ground.

Fury began to step towards Artie, but as he did every single step he took became harder, and harder to take, almost as if he had a rock on his back making it difficult to walk at all, but after what felt like a whole cold time, he finally wrapped his wings around Artie. Still shivering and feeling just as heavy as before Fury looked up into her eyes. "T-thank you.... f-for not... giving up on... me." he commented softly as fell into a deep sleep.

"Ok, dad, here we go." said Jared.

Jared placed both his claws flat on Rinkus's pink back, applied just enough pressure..not too much, just enough so his dad would have a relaxed massage.

And so, Jared began rubbing in a circular motion...up his dad's back...down his dad's back...up....and down.....up...and down. Jared made sure he got every spot... "Well dad, how am I doing so far? Doesn't that feel good?  :D Where to next? How about if I do your wings?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 24, 2011, 02:33:36 AM
Rinkus shivered at Jared's touch at first, then he sank into it, relaxing as he closed his eyes. "Mmm...oh yeah, that feels good." he muttered. "Mmm...oh yeah...oh yeah...that feels so good...you can do whatever you want next, Jared. I don't care as long as I'm relaxed." he let out a chuckle.

----------------------------------------------

Artie chuckled, watching the kid fall asleep in her arms. "You're welcome, young one." She leaned herself against the wall, keeping the kid against her chest and fell asleep that way with a smile on her face.

Tero looked over to Luke. Not the only one awake then, he thought. That's a relief.

He shook his head at Luke, as his eyes darted furtively to the cave entrance. he wanted to tell him. He wanted to get it off his mind, but he'd lost his voice a long time ago.

Throwing caution to the wind, he got up off the wall and scootched across the cave and sat next to Luke. As he sat down, he noticed a slight size difference, with him being slightly taller, and much thinner.

As he pulled his wings around him, he still remained ill at ease, his eyes darting to the entrance every now and then.

Post by: Jrd89 on June 24, 2011, 03:10:09 AM
Jared smiled. "Oh. Ok, then, dad. Just keep relaxing..and leave it to me. I'm gonna do your arms and wings next" he said.

Jared rubbed Rinkus's left shoulder in the same small-circle motion...out to his elbows...then to his wrists..till Jared got to his claws..then he did the same to Rinkus's right arm...

after that...Jared rubbed the much thinner lair of skin that made Rinkus's big pink wings...Jared rubbed his dad's wings very gently...

"Ok, dad. Now your tail. Heh heh...this might tickle a little bit. Hee hee.." said Jared, giggling and grinning.

He then rubbed his dad's tail with just his fingers, very softly and gently....He knew the tail can be pretty sensitive in a long-tail flyer..

"Ok, this might tickle, dad.. your ankles and feet are next." said the tan flyer. As he rubbed some extra pressure on Rinkus's feet.

Jared knew (at least he though personally) that both a flyer's wings and feet are themost enjoyable and relaxing parts of a massage...it always feels so good getting your sore, tired wings and feet massaged after a big day of flying, and walking around.  :yes

Then, Jared went on to Rinkus's ankles and rubbed them really good and firm.

"All right..and finally, your neck, dad!" he told Rinkus.

Jared went back to rubbing with the firmer pressure he used to massage Rinkus's back and arms earlier... he started at Rinkus's soft, fluffy white neck ring (and it felt very soft, too  :D ).and sloooowly and carefully moved his way up his dad's neck.

"All right dad. I think i'm done. Now, wasn't that relaxing? Am I a good massager?" Jared asked to Rinkus. He wanted to make sure his dad was very relaxed and very happy with the way he just massaged him.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 24, 2011, 03:12:52 AM
"Oh yeah, that was amazing, son. Is it your turn now?" Rinkus asked, yawning.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 24, 2011, 03:37:10 AM
Jared grinned. "Yes, it is, dad." said Jared, laying down on his belly, with his tan wings spread out, and draped his tail on the ground, letting it go limp and relaxed.

He sighed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....ok, dad. All set. Whenever you're ready." Jared said, as he closed his eyes and relaxed his body completely.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 24, 2011, 03:43:14 AM
"Alrighty, here we go!" with that, Rinkus got onto his knees, clenching his knuckles. "Let me know if you feel a slight pain." The pink flyer started rubbing his hands about his son's back, starting from his neck and down to his waist.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 24, 2011, 12:03:05 PM
"All right dad, I will."

Then, Jared felt Rinkus's knuckles rubbing his back. At first, it tingled, but then it felt really really good.

"Oooohhh yeah......that feels good. Ohhhhhhh.. you're doing it just right, dad....Ohhhh...yesssss...sooo gooood. Ohhh, I love you, dad. You're soooo kind and caring to me." said Jared, with a big toothy smile, still keeping his eyes closed.

Jared was so happy that a tear ran down his beak. He had never felt loved and cared for this much in so long.... to finally have a dad again....and one that was a great massager, too!  :D
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 24, 2011, 12:48:36 PM
Rinkus chuckled, "I love you too, my son." He absolutely loved this kid and so glad he adopted him. His hands moved to Jared's wings, rubbing here and there before they moved up to his neck.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 24, 2011, 02:34:11 PM
"Ohhh..yesss....my wiiiiiiiiings..." said Jared as Rinkus rubbed his big, tan wings... :D

then, when Rinkus got to his neck, Jared said "Ohhh.....yeah.....my neck, dad..right there..my neck and wings get tired the most after a busy day...."ohhh, yesssssss...that feels realllly good..ohhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhh...yeaaaaahhhhhhh....keep it up. Ohhh.. You're the best.  :) "

said Jared, as Rinkus massaged his tan neck.

Post by: Allicloud on June 24, 2011, 03:12:57 PM
Tero's face momentarily lost its fearful expression as he watched Jared being massaged. He watched the strange sight, wishing they'd quiet down a bit. Not that it would wake him up, since he was wide awake, but the sound was irritating to him anyway. Besides, the noise could cover the sound of His approach.

Outside the cave, Zin and Redback stirred as the sounds of the flyers drifted down from the cave. At first it sounded simply like they were talking, but as the sounds became clearer, Zin looked to Redback, who said with a snicker, "Hmmm... Whatever they're doing in there, methinks they're enjoying it a lit-tle too much."

"Our little friend, We don't want to KNOW what they're doing in there." Zin replied, settling down again.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 24, 2011, 04:47:27 PM
Rinkus chuckled at this, "Well I'm glad you like it, son. Now this may tickle a little." the pink flyer worked his way down to Jared's tail, rubbing it gently.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 24, 2011, 05:42:53 PM
As Fury huddled against Artie in his sleep, he could hear her heartbeat, and the sound began to soothe his troubled heart. So much so that, after a few minutes he began to dream. Fury looked around his dreamscape, and was confused. His surroundings were stark white, but they felt warm. The kind of warm that brought his body peace as he sat down and waited for something to happen.

He didn't have to wait long, as several small lights began to shine in front of the glider. The lights began to join together and after a few moments took the form of another glider. Even before the creature spoke Fury could tell who it was.

"M-mother..." he cooed quietly.

The older glider gave a soft, motherly smile as she nodded her head. "Yes, dear. It's me, Soul your mother."

Fury slowly began to cry. He wasn't sad, or upset, or even happy... it was just a reflex action to seeing his mother again. "Mom... I know... I know my new friends all care for me, but, I just... I want to know why I feel so alone!"

Fury's mother giggled.
"My son, you only feel alone, because you won't share how you feel, or what happened to make you think that way. If you share your feelings then your heart won't feel so heavy."

Fury nodded his head in understanding but had another question. "I... I don't want you to think badly of me mom... but, I was hoping that-"

Soul cut Fury off as she spoke. "You were hoping that Artie would adopt you, and you don't want me to be angry about it." Soul reached forward and hugged her son tightly. "Your heart is strong and caring. Listen to it, and it will never lead you wrong."

Fury hugged his mother back, and he could hear her heartbeat and it made him smile in his sleep and curl up to Artie as he spoke softly, "Thank you."

As the sound of Jared's moaning reached him, Luke's beak curled upwards in an uncomfortable sneer. The thought of someone touching him like that made him feel uneasy. "So..." he said, raising his voice so Tero could hear him, "Are you expecting someone? You keep looking outside... Oh, the flyer who nearly crushed me is friendly, if that's what's worrying you. His name's Roger."

*When Jared felt Rinkus rubbing his tail, he felt a tingling sensation! He was ticklish!!  :D  :D*

"Ooh! Hee-hee-heh!! Hee hee ha ha ha!!  y-y-you're right, dad! My tail is so ticklish!! hee-hee-ha-ha!!" :lol:  :lol:

said Jared, giggling at Rinkus.

"Oh you like that eh?" Rinkus chuckled evilly, as his hand started to tickle Jared's tail. "Well take that and that!"

Post by: Jrd89 on June 24, 2011, 11:43:07 PM
*Jared was stuck in Rinkus's clutches, now!  :D *

"Uhh-oooohhhhh! Heee-heeeh-hah hah!! Oh-ho-ho-noo-hoo! Hee heeh heh hah ha..heh heh hehe.. heh-heh! Ohhhh-hohh-ho-ho! D-d-daaad! hee-hee! I'm a v-very t-t-ticklish long-t-tail." :lol :lol :D

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 12:28:37 AM
Loving to torture his son to death by his tickling powers, Rinkus decided to move to the next level: the feet.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 25, 2011, 01:30:22 AM
*Jared was startled. Now he could feel Rinkus's claws tickling his feet!!  :D *

"Oh no!... Not my feet, dad! Oh-ho-haa-haa-haa..they're extra ticklish! Nooo-hooo! ha-ha-ha-hah-hah-heh-heh oh-ho, dad!  :lol:  :lol:   :D

Now Jared was giggling uncontrollably. His dad was so much fun, and very playful!

Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 01:36:40 AM
Rinkus just continued to tickle his son's feet, causing Jared to squirm in his strong grip. Then he stopped and just lied on his back, taking a few deep breaths. "Already, boy. Daddy's getting real tired. I'm not as young as I used to be, you know." Rinkus yawned.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 25, 2011, 02:06:12 AM
*This is my last post tonight trulyfantasticme...i'm logging out and going to bed (real-life bed) after this post.*

"Aww, it's ok, dad. I know you're not young anymore, but you're still fun to play with. Don't judge yourself by your age. You're not old to me at all." said Jared, winking and smiling at the pink flyer.  ;)

Then, Jared yawned..he was tired, too.

"Hoooooahhhhummmm.. I'm getting tired too, dad. We should get to bed now, don't you think?." said Jared, pointing at Rinkus's soft and comfy leaf bed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 02:17:02 AM
(I didn't know flyers used leaf beds. :blink: )

Rinkus laid himself on the bed, opening his arms for Jared to snuggle into.

Roger stood at the edge of the cliff the cave was one, seeming to bask in the rain with a smile. He turned around and faced the cave. "Great weather we're having, aye mates!" he said loudly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 25, 2011, 06:00:00 AM
Tero watched the strange flyer standing outside the cave, basking in the rain. Strange old thing. Granted, he didn't mind the rain, and would willingly stay out there, if not for Him, but this flyer seemed to be positively enjoying it.

He shook his head at Luke. It wasn't Roger that had him scared. It was something worse. Something that had haunted his imagination for years. He had taken his leg and his voice all those years ago, Tero was sure He was on his way to finish the job.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on June 25, 2011, 11:33:54 AM
Fury began to dream again. This time he was standing in the sand, on a beach surrounded by the Big Water. He could see for miles and the warm air and cool water brought a smile to his face. Just as he was starting to relax however, the ground began to rumble and shake. As Fury looked around to see what was causing this, he noticed something.

The water was rising, and as the water broke, a mountain began to take shape, but after that it was clear that the mountain was actually a giant island. Not just any island, "My... home." uttered Fury in shock and... fear? Why was he scared. He should be happy but something was wrong.

As the ground stopped shaking, it was now quiet... the wind didn't blow, even the water that was hitting the sand made no noise. It was deathly quiet, and that's what scared Fury the most. He stepped back as he heard a loud, commanding voice ask, "what is your name child?" Fury blinked for a moment before answering. "My name is Fury."

The voice roared and it echoed through the sky and shook the ground. NO! YOUR FULL NAME, THE ONE YOUR PARENTS GAVE AFTER YOU HATCHED! TELL ME NOW!" shouted the unseen voice.

Fury sighed. He hadn't said or heard his full given name since his home was lost to the fire and big water. He shuddered and his feathers shook for a moment. Just before he spoke Fury felt a sense of utter fear, but at the exact same time, his spirit and body felt... peaceful. He closed his eyes and clearly spoke. "My full name... is Longtail Fury Skyfire."

Immediately after saying his name, Fury felt himself being pulled into the sand, and before he knew it, was was buried. As the dream ended, Fury snapped his eyes open and looked around. He took a deep breath as he realized he was still in the cave, and still in Artie's embrace. Fury sighed and tried to get back to sleep.

Jared got into Rinkus's bed and snuggled up right in Rinkus's nice, warm, arms...Then, Jared looked right into Rinkus's eyes, and gave him a big, toothy smile....he narrowed his eyes, and.."pft!" he let out a very tiny, quick, fart. :D

The fart was very small..too small to even smell or hear. The other sleeping flyers didn't hear it, but Jared felt and heard it, and he knew his dad heard it, too.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 25, 2011, 11:22:13 PM
Chomper, with his amazing sharptooth sense of smell, jumped out of his snuggling position from the tiny fart.

"EW! Who let it rip in here!?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 11:23:22 PM
Rinkus just chuckled, tightening his arms around his son, pulling closer. "Nice one..." he smirked.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 25, 2011, 11:25:51 PM
"Hee Hee. Thanks, dad. :D " Jared whispered, smiling back at Rinkus.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on June 25, 2011, 11:26:03 PM
Roger walked inside, dripping with water and oblivious of the fart. "Don't worry, I won't take up much space and I have to hang myself to dry anyways" he said and then, oddly enough he began to scale the side of the cave, going until he got to the roof where he hung from his talons like a bat. "Just like back home" he said and opened up his wings for them to dry.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 11:33:00 PM
Pterano let out one last loud snort before waking up to the sound of Chomper's voice. "It's okay, Chomper. It happenes to the rest of us..." he muttered before drifting off into sleep.

The pink flyer smiled as Jared scooted closer and laid his head on his chest, closing his eyes.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 25, 2011, 11:34:06 PM
Chomper laid his head back down and drifted off to sleep.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 25, 2011, 11:46:40 PM
Then, Jared snuggled up really close to Rinkus.

Jared sighed, "I love you, dad....*sniff!*"...he said softly, shedding a tear.

Then, he gently nestled his head on his dad's warm pink belly, and listened to his heartbeat..... ba-bump.......ba-bump.......ba-bump.......ba-bump.....as he drifted off to sleep all wrapped and snuggled up in Rinkus's warm, pink wings in his warm, comfy leaf bed. There was no safer place for Jared to be than in his dad's arms.  :D
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 25, 2011, 11:54:20 PM
Rinkus let a tear fall down his eye, tightening his arms around the boy, giving him a goodnight kiss on the forehead. "I love you too, son." he muttered, snuggling himself into the bed before drifting off into a sleep.

----------------------------------------------------

The sun rose as Devon and Sierra were the first two to wake up, as was planned. They snuck over towards the sleeping Pterano, kneeling by his sides. Devon nudged the older flyer's shoulder gently. "Dad...time to wake up...Dad..." No replies of course came from Pterano, for he was still too deep in his sleep. "Dad..."

Sierra of course was losing his patience, he leaned over the red flyer's ear and shouted, "WAKE UP!!!!!"

Pterano snorted loudly before snapping his eyes open. Unfortunately for Devon trying to not wake Petrie and his friends, the little hatchlings woke up by surprise.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 25, 2011, 11:57:58 PM
Chomper jumped up for the second time when Sierra shouted at Pterano.

"What's going on?"

Chomper then yawned, letting out some of the dreaded sharptooth morning breath, which always smelled like rotten meat.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on June 26, 2011, 12:00:31 AM
Sierra's shout had also woke Roger. "Uh! What! Duck and cover Redtooth's here!" he said, accidently pulling his feet free and fell head first on the ground. "...ow"

Jared was startled, too! He sat up in bed and looked at Sierra right in his yellow eyes. Jared got angry at Sierra for hollering.

"Rrrhhh, Sierra!! WHY did you do that for? That was so rude, yelling in Pterano's ear like that! You are a very mean and rude flyer! Rrrrghh!!" :angry:

Said Jared...looking Sierra right in his yellow eyes and pointing at him. He was very annoyed with Sierra yelling poor Pterano awake like that. And right in his ear, too!  :(

"Calm down, kid! Devon and I built a little surprise for his star day." Sierra snapped back.

Pterano yawned. "Huh? What?"

Jared gasped! "It's Pterano's star day?!?!  Wow! I didn't know that. :)  I'm sorry I overreacted and yelled at you, Sierra." said Jared, still sitting up in bed looking into Sierra's eyes.

"You better be, you little-!" Sierra was about to lose his temper when Rinkus spoke up.

"Calm down, Sierra. My son didn't know it was Pterano's starday today." the pink flyer paused. "Wait a minute. It's Pterano's star day today?"

"Sure thing, little buddy!" Sierra replied before turning to Pterano. "Happy star day, Pterano!"

Fury blinked his eyes open and yawned. He stretched as she climbed out of Arties wings and smiled sleepily. "G-good morning everyone." He murmured quietly. He then turned to Artie and smiled again. "Good morning. Can we get some food?" he asked gently.

"Okay guys," Devon told the pink and tan flyers. "you go ahead and get more sleep, we'll take Pterano to  his birthday surprise." He grabbed Pterano by the arm. "Come along, Dad." Devon took off with Pterano, with Chomper on his back and Sierra.

Tero shook himself fully awake. As he tried ot get up, he saw that Luke had fallen asleep ontop of him. Rolling his eyes, he gently pushed Luke's head to hang on the other side, and got up.

He limped to the cave opening, narrowly avoiding banging his head on Roger, as he hung from the ceiling. Looking down at Redback and Zin, he picked up a small pebble and chucked it down at them, catching Redback a stinging blow on his tail.

The sharptooth arched up in pain, unceremoniously being woken up from his dreams. Glaring up at Tero, he shouted to him "Yeah, good morning to you too, weedbeak!"
Muttering mutinously under his breath, he shook his old friend awake "Hey Zin, wake up.There's some sort of to-do going down in the caves. Could ya gimme a boost?"

Zin nodded and lowered his head, so Redback could perch atop it, and rose his head up to the ledge of the cave. As his massive head came into the flyer's view he said "Good morning to you all. Hope y'all slept well... No offence, Tero..."
 
Tero just glared back at the old dinosaur as Redback hopped off, picking up and replacing any black weeds that fell off him as he landed. "So, what's going on today then?"

Petrie and Harper flapped right along following Pterano, Devon and Sierra. Harper heard their sharptooth guests query on their way out and turned, "It's our Uncle Pterano's Starday" she told Redback, "Mr. Sierra and Devon apparently made something and we're going to see what it is" she told them before flapping to catch up with the others.

Fury smiled as he watched the others fly off to see Pterano's starday gift. He stretched his wings and tail before starting to walk around the cave, being cautious not to wake the other three flyers. He stepped out to the edge of the cave and stared out at the sky. He grinned almost as if he had no control as he whispered to himself. "I'll tell them all today... about what happened. Just like my mom wanted."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 26, 2011, 07:28:38 PM
Sierra landed on the beach, Devon and Pterano fallowing. As soon as Pterano landed, Devon used his claws to cover Pterano's eyes. "Hey!" he reacted.

"Pterano, shush! It's a surprise, remember?" the blue flyer told him. Sierra led Pterano and Devon to the statues that he and Devon built last night.

"Devon, move your hands," Pterano said. "I can't see a thing."

"Just trust me, silly flyer." the young flyer laughed, before giving Sierra the look and Sierra, knowing exactly what Devon's look meant, he pointed up with his claw, signalling Devon to release Pterano.

What Pterano saw made his jaw drop.

The sound of Fury walking past him stirred Luke from his sleep. Noticing that most of the others were gone, he turned to Roger. "Where'd everyone go? To get food?" he asked hopefully, scooting backwards to get out of the bright sunlight.

As Petrie and Harper followed, landing just behind where the other three were, the hatchling caught sight of what this big surprise was before Pterano did.

"Oh, wow...".

As Petrie was about to say more, Harper clamped one wing over his beak, "Shh, don't ruin their surprise" she said. Both giggled as Pterano finally saw what it was.

Redback called from the ledge. "They flew off a moment ago. Somethin' about a star day, Pterano's, I think... By the way, Tero, c'mere a sec, will ya?"

Tero looked up and, apprehensively, made his way over to his sharptooth friend. Who promptly punched him in the face.

"That's for the rock ya threw at me!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Pterano dropped his jaw wide. What he saw before him was a rock sculpture of him. It looked just like him. It had all his body parts, arms, legs, belly, crest, everything just right. It rose a good foot taller than him, and its feet were at least five inches bigger than his. It even had his personality on it. "Oh, oh, oh...my GAGHHHH!!!!! Devon, did you build this?"

"With his help, yes." Devon replied, pointing at Sierra and laughing at Pterano's reaction.

"Wow! You guys did a great job!" Pterano commented as Devon threw his arms around his neck, giving him a great big hug.

"Happy star day, Dad!"

Fury couldn't help but giggle at Luke's comment. "No Luke, they went to celebrate Pteranos' Starday. They said they had a surprise for him. Although I'm sure once they're done food will be their next idea. And I'm sure they'll come back for us so we can all eat together." he commented with a bright grin as he turned around and walked back into the cave. He then replied, "What's wrong Luke, don't like the bright circle in your eyes?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 28, 2011, 02:01:08 AM
Redback turned in surprise to the tiny flyer "Yer pretty chirpy all of a sudden."

Zin nodded, and promptly moved a claw in front of Tero, before he could retaliate for the black eye Redback had given him. "Aye, 'tis good for our eyes to see you happy again. Something happen?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 28, 2011, 03:06:24 AM
"Nah, it gives me a headache if I stay under the bright circle for too long," Luke replied to Fury. Then he nodded in agreement with Redback. "Yeah, Fury, you seem different. Did you have a good sleep?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 03:25:55 AM
"Ya like it, Pterano?" Devon told the red flyer, giving him a nudge.

"Oh Devon, it's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!" he pulled him into a hug. "You are amazing, you know?"

"Yeah I know." Devon laughed, snuggling right up against Pterano's chest, wrapping his arms around his waist and closed his eyes.

Pterano just smiled, tightening his arms around his adopted son, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

"Oh brother..." Sierra muttered, rolling his eyes. "Well, uhh, happy starday, Pterano. I'm gonna head back to the cave and get some more rest, alright?"

"You do that..." Devon told the brown flyer, snuggling closer to Pterano.

-------------------------------------------

Rinkus opened his eyes. "Jared, are you okay?" he asked in concern, spotting his son in the cave opening. "You want to fall asleep in my arms again? You look tired."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on June 28, 2011, 04:21:39 AM
Jared heard Rinkus, and walked right up to him, still tired and weary-eyed.

"Yes, dad, I do. Please let me sleep in your arms again. Hooooohhhhuuummm.. " yawned Jared in a very sleepy voice. He was still so tired and could hardly hold his blue eyes open. He climbed back into Rinkus's bed and rested his head on the pillow.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 04:24:29 AM
"Aww...come here, son." Rinkus told him softly, opening his arms. Jared snuggled himself into those arms...those strong, warm, loving, fatherly arms of Rinkus's. The tan flyer nuzzled his chest gently, falling asleep right afterwards.

As she looked at some more of the details on the rock statue, Harper giggled, "I think you guys got his head right too, Devon" she told him, "Mom says that's how big it is" she teased her uncle, giggling again.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 01:57:16 PM
Pterano smirked at his niece, hearing her giggle playfully, it brought the child in him as he smiled back at her. "Very funny, Harper..."

Devon looked up at him and giggled, "Yeah, you do have a big head..."

Pterano just nudged him in response, holding him tighter.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 28, 2011, 02:51:51 PM
"Tero, be a sport and go see where those other flyers went off to, will you?" Zin asked.

Tero nodded, clambering over his claw towards the ledge. As he passed Redback, he stamped on the sharptooth's tail.

"EE-YOW!" Redback roared, doubling up in pain. As the flyer walked by, Redback snarled and lunged at him, but Tero nimbly took to the air and flew off to find out just where Pterano's party went.

Redback angrily kicked at a nearby rock, sending it off the cliff's edge. He stomped into the cave and sat down in a huff.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 28, 2011, 06:46:43 PM
Luke sniggered at Redback. "That looked like it hurt..." Noticing the black weeds hung on the sharptooth, he remembered what he had been wondering before. "Oh yeah, I meant to ask earlier. You and Tero wear those weeds - what do they mean? Are you in some kind of club?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on June 28, 2011, 08:49:31 PM
"I thought so" Harper giggled again.

Petrie smiled, flapping over, "Well me no think Uncle Pterano got big head" he said.

"How'd I know you'd say that" Harper sighed but smiled at her brother.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 09:00:05 PM
Pterano broke the hug and walked around his new sculpture. "Is my head really that big?" he asked Devon in a quiet voice so Petrie and Harper can't hear.

"That's because you're a genius. And genius's always have big heads." Devon told him, smirking.

Pterano smirked back, ruffling the boy's head. "You always know what to say, dontcha son?"

"Oh I try." the blue flyer blushed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 28, 2011, 09:12:03 PM
Chomper spent quite a while staring in awe at the sculpture. IT took him awhile to think of somethign to say.

"Wow, I really like it Devon! It looks just like Pterano!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 09:20:23 PM
"Why, thank you, my good sir!" Devon chuckled. "I'd say it would make quite the masterpiece myself." Pterano must've rubbed off on me in the last few years... he thought to himself.

Pterano just kept admiring the sculpture. "Hmm...I look good..." he chuckled, shaking his head. "Don't I, Devon."

Devon just rolled his eyes and smiled. :rolleyes: "Yes, you look good, Dad."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 28, 2011, 09:22:17 PM
"I'll say you look good!"

Chomper's stomach started growling again.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 28, 2011, 09:28:38 PM
"Thanks Chomper," Pterano said, before realizing that he heard CHomper's stomach growl and he began to get a little freaked out. He just ignored the feeling, reminding himself that Chomper is a friend of Petrie's and would never do anything to harm anyone.

"Help yerself," Devon replied.

Fury leaned against the wall of the cave as he spoke. "Lets just say, my sleep stories gave me some good advice that I'm taking to heart." He then sneezed hard and his head slammed into the wall behind him, making his eyesight go blurry. "Ow..." he moaned as he leaned forward and cradled the back of his head. After a few moments, he felt dizzy and tired. "I... don't feel well..." Fury then slowly lowered himself to the floor and shuddered.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 29, 2011, 12:58:03 PM
Redback looked up at Luke. Holding up an arm, he let the strands of black grass hang limp, as he gazed at them.

"Oh, these are from a long...long time ago. Tero and I used to know a couple other dinosaurs out here, around our age. We did everythin' together, hanging out, hunting, playing, generally lookin' out for eachother. We used these black weeds as a sort of symbol. We found heaps of 'em growing nearby to where we all first met, and it sort of stuck... Heh, and since I was the leader, I had the most." He added, rustling the weeds hanging from his arms.

He sighed, as if reminiscing on times gone by "The Blackweed Brotherhood, we called ourselves...Those were the days...At least, before... *sniff* before the raptors..."

Redback buried his head in his arms as he suddenly began to sob quietly. It was a strange sight alright, a sailback sharptooth, a creature known for ferocity and brutality, crying.
For a moment, he could only sob for the memory of his friends. Eventually he got his emotions under his control and continued.

"... It..it was horrible. Tero and I were the only ones who got away from that, and Tero didn't exactly survive entirely... You've seen what he's like? Well, he used to be not unlike you, Luke."

With that, he buried his head in his arms, returning to his silent weeping.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on June 29, 2011, 07:49:24 PM
Pterano circled his sculpture one last time, smiling. He noticed one thing and that was the fact that it was all silent around him. He smirked. "Say, does this sculpture make my butt look big?"

That earned a big laugh from everyone around him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on June 29, 2011, 08:13:01 PM
Luke stared in shock at Redback, as the large sharptooth shook with grief. "I'm... sorry. I wouldn't have brought it up if I knew. Well, at least you and Tero got away...".

As Luke stepped forward to try and console him, he heard Fury sneeze, and then a sharp crack. Turning, he saw the glider hold the back of his head in pain, then collapse to the floor and begin to shudder. "Oh jeez..." Luke muttered, scatching the back of his head as he glanced from the sobbing Redback to the convulsing Fury.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on June 30, 2011, 12:46:46 PM
Redback sniffed "I-it's okay...You take care of the kid. I just need a moment..."

He got up and headed deeper into the dark recesses of the cave and sat down on his own.

Zin watched the scene from his spot outside, peering over the ledge into the cave. He sighed and shook his head, saying to himself "Poor kid... We hate to see a kid fall apart like that."

He turned his gaze skywards to watch Tero, hovering on an air current, surveying the area. Zin looked back to the cave, and was suddenly struck with an idea.

"We'll get him something to cheer him up. We know his favourite food, and there's plenty around."

The old dinosaur headed down the valley towards the grove, seeking out the choicest of meaty food. Lizards would probably be out of the question, with flyers still in the cave, but they won't grudge him a few fish!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on June 30, 2011, 12:49:04 PM
Chomper just stared back at the flyers.

"But...I don't really know how to catch fish."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 01, 2011, 12:25:00 PM
Pterano chuckled. "Well, just a few more minutes and we'll all go fishing. Cool?"

"Sounds good to me, Dad." Devon agreed, placing his arm on Pterano's shoulder.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 02, 2011, 09:06:56 AM
Luke nodded, and approached Fury unsurely. "Uh... you okay?" he asked, stooping over and poking him with his claw. There was no response. Deciding it was probably better to get him off the hard rock floor, he picked Fury up and looked around the cave.

"Shift up," he told Jared, nudging him aside as he placed the small glider on Rinkus' bed of leaves.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 03, 2011, 06:50:34 PM
"Yeah, and me learn how catch them better" Petrie said. Whether or not he'd be trading treestars for fish any time soon, it would still be a useful skill if he was going to help watch out for Chomper for however long he could do that, like he'd told Littlefoot.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on July 03, 2011, 11:30:54 PM
Jared moaned, still half-asleep.. "Zzzzzz..mmmff? mmmkay, Luke."  said Jared very sleepily, as he scooted over a bit to make room for Fury. Then, he laid back down, snuggled up to Rinkus and went back to sleep.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on July 03, 2011, 11:42:54 PM
Fury blinked as he opened his eyes. He could've sworn he was just blinking, as he looked around he noticed he was siting in Rinkus' bed made from leaves. He blushed as he sneezed again and looked up at Luke with a goofy smile. "Thanks. I think... sitting out in that skywater last night was a bad idea." he said aloud as he sneezed again.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 04, 2011, 11:49:35 AM
Tero flapped down to the ledge, ready to report where the others had gone, but found that nobody was there waiting. He ventured in and saw Luke tending to Fury, lying prone on the floor, while Redback could be seen brooding near the back of the cave.

"So Tero, any word on our friends?"

Turning, he saw that Zin had returned to the cave entrance, holding a handful of fish, freshly dredged from the pond. Tero pointed outside the cave, towards some nearby mountains.

"Ah, they're off by the lake, We'll bet... Anyways, Redback's a bit down, you may have noticed. Could you take these to him?"

Tero nodded and scooped the fish into his wings. He carried them into the cave and deposited them next to Redback.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 04, 2011, 07:54:22 PM
"You'll be okay," Luke told Fury, "Just try to keep warm. And if you need to sneeze... well, try not to get too much on Jared." He grinned at Fury and stood up.

Smelling fish, Luke whirled round. "Nice catch!" he said cheerfully, as he scampered over and snatched up a handful. "I love the smell of fish in the morn -" he began, stopping when he realised who they were intended for. "Sorry Redback..." he said guiltily, dropping them back down - but keeping hold of one behind his back.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 05, 2011, 02:00:32 AM
The Sharptooth managed a smile as he raised his head "Ah, go ahead, Luke. Have some... After putting up with me all this time you deserve it."

Redback then stood up and grabbed himself a handful of fish, stuffing them into his mouth, bones and all.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 05, 2011, 03:52:50 AM
"So, shall we head out, Dad?" Devon asked, pointing at the sea.

Pterano chuckled. "Sure son. Let's get going, shall we?" they were about to take off when Pterano clutched his stomach and groaned in pain, leaning against the sculpture.

"Dad!" the blue flyer shouted, rushing to his father's side.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 05, 2011, 10:38:31 AM
Petrie and Harper darted over as well. "What wrong?" Petrie asked, just as worried as Devon and Harper tried to scrutinize and see if she could spot out the problem, but was left just as in the dark as the others. Some kind of...stomach...issue.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 05, 2011, 01:46:01 PM
"Is it your back?" Devon asked worriedly, taking his father by the arm to help him keep balanced.

"No, definitly not that." Pterano replied, trying to stand up straight. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Shall we take off now?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Pterano swallowed, standing up straight.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on July 05, 2011, 01:48:07 PM
"Um, I'm still hungry" Chomper piped up. "Weren't we going to go fishing for breakfast?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 05, 2011, 01:49:21 PM
"Yeah, climb on my back, I'll carry you." Pterano replied, bending over so Chomper could get on.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on July 05, 2011, 01:56:27 PM
"Oh, thank you sir!"
 
Chomper climbed up on the back of the old flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 05, 2011, 03:59:24 PM
All four flyers took off into the skies, all watching for fish. "Oh! I see one!" Pterano shouted, flying lower. "Hold on, Chomper!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on July 07, 2011, 02:01:26 PM
"Good catch, Pterano!" Chomper yelled out after he dipped his head in the water for a nice ripe one. Chomper almost fell off from all the movement, but he managed to stay on. Unfortunately, Chomper didn't notice that he dug his claws just a little bit into the old flyer while trying to stay on.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 07, 2011, 02:13:54 PM
With a fish in his mouth, he landed back on the beach, suddenly realizing that he was growing tired. He swallowed the fish and took deep breaths. Devon placed a hand on his back. "Dad are you okay?" he asked nervously.

"I'll be fine, Devon. I'm...just a little tired." His voice drifted off and all of a sudden, he began to cough uncontrollably. His vision blurred and the next thing he saw was black before he collapsed to the ground, slipping into unconsciousness.

"DAD!!!!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 07, 2011, 07:12:52 PM
"Ok then. Thanks Redback." Luke took out the fish from behind his back and chomped into it.

Frowning, he looked outside. "The others are taking a while. What do you think's keeping 'em?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 07, 2011, 09:21:16 PM
After they landed, Harper had just frowned a bit in sensing something more was up about Uncle Pterano coughing again when he all out collapsed. She gasped and Petrie immedietly darted over, looking just as worried as Devon.

"What...what happen?" was all he could ask, even if he knew no one around him probably had answers. Harper walked over and, much as she felt bad about something possibly having happened to her uncle as well, she also knew how bad Petrie was going to and was probably taking it even with the worry.

"I...I'm sure...it's nothing..." she couldn't even finish her try at optomism. Harper just put a wing around Petrie for a bit. She didn't want to leave him or Devon right now but then they both probably wouldn't want to leave Pterano and someone had to get to doing something.

"I'll go fly and get the others" she offered, flapping up.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 07, 2011, 09:33:45 PM
"I dunno! He just started coughing and well..." Devon's voice drifted off, too shocked and worried to say any more. He just stared down at the old flyer, hoping, praying that he would be okay.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 08, 2011, 04:14:44 PM
"No clue, Luke." Replied Redback as he munched at a particularly juicy fish.

"Tero told us they're down by the lake" Came Zin's voice from the ledge. "They should be back before nightfall."

Redback nodded, as he picked a bone from between his teeth with a claw. He watched Tero, who had taken up his usual spot on the ledge, just sitting and staring out at the landscape. He then looked further down in the cave where Rinkus and Jared were fast asleep, lying side by side, and then to Luke. It was then that he said something totally unexpected and sudden:

"Hey Luke... Thanks for being my friend."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 08, 2011, 05:45:16 PM
Luke looked up at Redback in suprise. "Oh... it's no problem. I like being your friend." He grinned and swallowed the last of his fish. "I never thought I'd say that to a sharptooth."

 Following Tero's gaze, he continued; "It can get kind of lonely out here. Sometimes you can make friends with the last person you'd have thought possible."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 08, 2011, 10:18:01 PM
Petrie hoped the same, even if he knew Harper was pretty reliable when she said she was going somewhere, he didn't like the waiting for her to get to the others.

Harper was taking her self appointed mission seriously though and flapped back over to the cave as quick as her little wings could take her. She was sort of surprised she remembered the way on her own, but didn't dwell on it too much.

"We...got a problem..." she panted, landing on the ledge but right outside the cave entrance as well in a heap and catching her breath, "It's...Uncle Pterano, he...something's wrong with him!".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 08, 2011, 10:21:26 PM
Pterano coughed one more time, opening his eyes to see his nephew and son gazing down at him worriedly. "Devon...P-Petrie..." was all he could stutter out before he took a deep breath, slipping into unconsciousness.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on July 08, 2011, 11:14:36 PM
*Jared heard Harper, woke right up, jumped out of bed and looked at her with shock...*

"What, Harper??  :blink: Something's wrong with PTERANO?! Noo! We gotta go help him... now!" then Jared shouted so all the flyers (whether they were inside or outside the cave) could hear him..

"HEY EVERYONE!!!, LISTEN UP!!!, SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH PTERANO!!!"

Then, Jared flew right up to Harper.. "Harper, can you tell me what happened to your uncle? Is he hurt? Ohhhh..  :unsure: I'll do whatever I can to help Pterano... We all will."  :(
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 09, 2011, 12:01:16 AM
"I...I don't know" Harper went on, thinking back through everything and putting together what had happened, "His stomach did seem to bother him before, but he said it was fine and so we flew on but then he started coughing and just fainted. Devon and Petrie are with him now".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on July 09, 2011, 12:16:29 AM
"So, he had stomach problems... a coughing fit... and then he fainted? Aww man. We've gotta help him! Harper, fly us to your uncle, now."

"You lead the way, and i'll fly right behind you, ok?" Jared told Harper.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on July 09, 2011, 01:44:05 AM
Rinkus wrung his tail in frustration as he came awake and heard the news. He blinked a few times, trying to clear his eyes. "Here now... that's not good. We should go and see what the matter is, yes?" he suggested, and nodded at Jared's suggestion. "By the way... is Sierra there?" Rinkus asked, looking down at Harper.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 09, 2011, 04:22:53 AM
Before Harper could reply, Tero nodded. he had seen Sierra out there.

"Well, no use just hanging around here talking about what's happened. Let's see it for ourselves!" Redback stated, before taking control of the situation. He knew how flyers could easily get aggravated and panicky.

"C'mon Tero! You saw where they went, let's go!!"

Tero opened his wings and flapped into the air in the direction of the lake. Redback, meanwhile, leapt down from the ledge and followed from ground level.
Zin was startled to see such a hurried exit, and called to his friends "Tero! Red! What's the hurry?"

"There's some trouble down by the lake! Somethin's happened to one of the flyers!"

Zin hobbled as fast as he could behind him, keeping his eyes on Tero up in the sky.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on July 09, 2011, 05:03:31 AM
Chomper looked on at the whole scene, not quite sure what to say or do. He wanted to help, but he couldn't really think of anything to do.

"Does he need some water? Would that help?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 09, 2011, 05:55:45 AM
Luke hurried to the entrance of the cave. "Wait! What if he's contagious?!" he yelled to the others. "Oh! Don't blame me if you get sick!"

Sighing he turned to Jared. "Fine, then. Let's go see what we can do." He took off and hurried to catch up with Tero.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 09, 2011, 10:54:51 AM
Such much rested on her shoulders, having to be the one to show them back to the spot and not get lost, that it was a bit much, but Harper also knew she couldn't focus on that. Plus she'd found her way here, back was no problem after that.

She just nodded to Jared. Her gaze went over to Rinkus as he asked his question. It was odd but she hadn't recalled where Sierra had gone, though he had been with them. Tero's nod helped with what she thought had happened. "Um, not where they are no, but he was. I think he...flew off again like he does" was her best answer.

(ooc: I'm lost myself and couldn't find it in the back posts, though I probably just didn't go far enough, Sierra was at first there and then flew off before they went to get the fish right?)

Tero taking off helped spur her too though and she quickly took to the air, "But yeah, it was this way" she said, following after Tero and along the same way back towards where Pterano was.

~~~~

Meanwhile back with Pterano, Petrie heard what Chomper said. "M-maybe water helped..." he was really just trying to think of anything that would help. He frowned, "Where Harper, how long it take to get others!" he sighed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

"I'm not sure, Petrie," Devon said, sighing in disappointment. "That would have made sense, but you don't faint from dehydration after having severe stomach pains." the blue flyer sighed, taking Pterano's hand in his and whispered the words, "Hang in there..."

What they heard next nearly made them jump. "Hello boys, did you miss me?"

Tero was the first to arrive. He saw the group of flyers down on the ground, huddled around Pterano, and glided down to earth by their side.

Redback was second, rounding a bend and skidding to a halt "...we..we're here! What's happening?"

Zin stomped behind, keeping up well for one so old "We heard someone was sick..."

Artie was the next to land with Fury on her back. "What's happened? Is he okay?" she asked, just as worried as Petrie and Devon.

"I don't know! He just started coughing and well..." his voice drifted off, gazing at the ill fated flyer next to him. "He did have a few stomach pains earlier..."

"Hey! I know that sickness!" Artie shouted, rushing to Petrie and Devon's side. "But..." she trailed off. She knew with this disease being so fatal, the next days could be Pterano's very last.

As he landed, Luke covered his beak with a wing. "You know his disease?" he asked Artie, his voice muffled. "Is it catching?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 10, 2011, 02:06:33 PM
"Yeah, it is said to be the Abdominal Flu." She described. "It's caused by either a scent of a poisonous plant or if there's something wrong with the stomach area."

Devon listened very carefully. "Is there some kind of cure?" he asked, hopefully.

Artie shook her head. "That's the sad part. No dinosaur has ever found the cure for this disease. It may not be contagioius, it is very deadly and it can kill even the largest longneck in a matter of days. And very few dinosaurs survive this illness." She gazed down at the ground in disappointment.

Well she'd got them here, Harper thought as they landed. Ok her and Tero had got them here, still she'd done all she knew how so now was just the waiting period or the finding out what was wrong period.

Hope flooded the little flyer as Artie said she knew what it was. Harper smiled, "Really? So he'll be ok?". In the child's mind knowing what the sickness was equalled everything being ok.

"What...what he got?" Petrie asked. He couldn't feel hopeful until Pterano was back up and well.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 10, 2011, 02:13:53 PM
Artie closed her eyes tightly, she didn't want to tell those poor kids this. She sighed, a tear falling down her eye. "I'm afraid not, Harper. There's a very high chance that the next few days maybe Pterano's very last. I'm sorry."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 10, 2011, 02:33:24 PM
Slowly a frown overtook the smile that had been on Harper's face. "Oh..." she glanced down, coming to terms with the words that didn't really seem to register. Her frown was all that showed the news hitting. Like how when she was really frustrated with Petrie back during the Day of the Flyers, she'd still stayed quiet and not yelled at him so much as just thought all her thoughts to herself, she did the same here, not even crying, yet anyway, just...pondering. Just coming to terms.

Then her thoughtful nature extended to her brother and she put a hand on Petrie's shoulder.

Petrie's reaction was different. He too stared for the longest time, not able to make the words make sense. He just stared at Artie in shock. Then he felt the hand on his shoulder and glanced over to his sister. Both the touch and her own frown seemed to put it all in place for the little flyer.

"N-no, you lying!" he turned back to accuse of Artie.

Harper closed her eyes, "Petrie..." she began to try.

"No!" Petrie swat his sister's hand away and stepped back, as if shrugging off the comfort would somehow shrug off what was happening too. "You...you both wrong, Uncle Pterano gonna be fine, he...he not...".

All the emotions hitting at once choked any other words from Petrie's beak and as tears finally began to fall, he turned and, without a word, began to fly off.

"Petrie, come back" Harper flew after.

"No, leave me alone!" at the snap in her brother's voice, Harper paused mid air as Petrie continued on into a nearby tree. She understood though, only able to guess at what was going through him. Slowly she drifted back down to the ground, staring up at the branches where Petrie was in pity and sadness.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 10, 2011, 02:43:12 PM
"Petrie!" she tried to call, but he flew away too fast. Poor kid, she thought to herself. Losing an uncle sucks.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a low voice. "Go after him." she turned to see a green spiketail. "I'll keep watch over Pterano."

Devon turned to the elderly spiketail before him. "Who are you?"

"I'm Joe." the spiketail replied, stopping beside Pterano.

Artie gazed at him, not sure if she should trust this stranger. She didn't want to leave Pterano, but she didn't want to leave Petrie either. She nodded at him, and took off, heading in Petrie's direction. Joe gazed at her before turning to Devon. "What happened?"

Artie landed on the treebranch next to the young flyer. "Petrie..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Tero stepped forwards and knelt down by Pterano's side. Gently pushing Artie a little away from the prone flyer, he put his ear to Pterano's chest and was still for a few moments.

Then, he started tapping his good foot in a rhythmic pattern. He would tap his foot twice rapidly, then pause for a moment, then tap twice again. With one of his wings he started a strange motion, flapping it up and down, raising his arm up quickly, then letting it drop slowly. Occasionally, he would let his arm drop equally fast as it rose.

"Atta boy, Tero. Good for you, makin' yerself useful." Redback called from the back of the group. He then went on to explain to the confused others "This is a little trick me and Tero use sometimes out in the beyond."

He omitted the fact that it was used to check how long it would take for their prey to die, and continued "He's tapping his foot in time with Pterano's heartbeat. Looks like it's slower than normal." He added, putting a claw to his chest to measure Pterano's pulse against his own.

"And that flapping motion is his breathing, I presume." Zin added

Redback nodded "Yep..." He would have remarked on how shallow and rapid it was becoming, but emotions were already high enough. So the sharptooth stayed quiet, shuffling his feet awkwardly, his blacked grass adornment rustling gently.

*nice communication, Tero!*

"Uh-oh..Pterano's heartbeat is slowing down...that's not good...ohhhh..." said Jared walking up to Tero and Pterano... "But..what can I do? There has to be a way to save him..." *Sniff!*

said Jared, holding his tail..as tears ran off his beak and ran down the front of him...

"Please, Pterano...don't die... we're all here for you." whispered Jared (who could barely speak).. to the unconscious Pterano.. then he turned to the others..

"Awww guys, Petrie's so upset. I hate seeing him this sad.. OHH guys...*sniff* what do I do? We gotta save Pterano...Oth--oth--otherwise...he..he...he...he...he..he'll...he'll..he'll d-d-d-d-d-d-die! *SNIIIIIF!* " said Jared.. with a broken up voice, twisting his tail with worry...

"Hang in there, Pterano...we're all here for you" said Jared.. patting the red flyer's shoulder.

Post by: Mama's Girl on July 10, 2011, 10:13:05 PM
Petrie would have told Artie, maybe not so snappishly, to go away too, but the little flyer was beyond being able to really talk. He just sat there sniffling, head burried in his wings.

"Me...me can't lose him" he said, "He all me got". This was a bit understatement considering the young flyer's mother and siblings, but it was on line with how he felt right now. For people who truly understood him, there was only one flyer that did.

On the ground, and hoping Miss Artie could get through to Petrie, Harper watched Tero's actions. Maybe it was her almost breaking through to him before, but despite his not talking, Harper trusted the silent flyer more than she perhaps had any proof to. Glancing back to Reback as the sharptooth explained, she glanced over to Tero again, now with this info, trying to translate what was being sad and if it would be good or bad news for her uncle. It wasn't really looking good.

(Wow I missed a lot)

Roger, who had silently followed them all looked at Pterano with a worried look, he then looked away. "It's against the rules for me to do this" he muttered to himself "But it's worth it" he then walked up to Pterano "Lemme take a look at him, I might be able to so something" he said, kneeling next to the flyer. "What's the problem now?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 12, 2011, 08:52:30 PM
Devon gazed up at Roger, tears forming in his eyes. "Well...first he had stomach pains...then he fainted...but its worse then it sounds." he hung his head, he couldn't lose Pterano...not after all he had done for him.

------------------------------------------

Artie stared down at the young flyer next to her, she placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, Petrie..." she drifted off, searching through her mind to find the right words to say. "Petrie...did I ever tell you..." she sighed, pondering over if this would comfort Petrie or make him feel worse. She only hoped for the best. "I lost my uncle when I was your age myself. In fact, he had the exact same disease your uncle has. I was sad about it, yes. But I knew he would be in a better place and would no longer suffer in this world. Your uncle has suffered alot these past few years. But it was the thought of returning to you that kept him going."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on July 12, 2011, 09:07:47 PM
"I see, I see" Roger rubbed the bottom of his beak. "I'll be right back, just hand in there" he said and the quickly flapped up and flew away.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 12, 2011, 09:33:38 PM
Harper just watched quietly as Devon gave Roger the symptoms leading up to the illness again and then the other flyer darted off. He...he sounded like he had a plan, but she knew building up too much hope could be bad. Still she could hardly help feeling that, yes, he would come back with a miracle or something, even if she knew this was very unlikely.

She just sat a bit away from where Devon was still over by Pterano. Again, not due to indifference, but due to everything and the odd sensation of feeling suddenly cold making her not want to be too near either as she sat there with her knees drawn up against her and wings folded over them.

~~~~

Petrie turned slightly, listening as Artie went on. He couldn't help frowning a bit more sadly, just in confusion and despair, as Artie mentioned a 'better place'. He'd heard the term before, it was where his mother said his father he didn't remember was, but the little flyer didn't even know what it was suppose to mean, just that they weren't here, and right now here was where he wanted to keep his uncle.

Her words on how seeing him again was what kept Pterano going stunned the little flyer again and he glanced up at her. "M-me?" he asked, then frowned as the whole situation hit again. "But...he not even get to return. Not even get to see Cold Times all up and now...". Petrie's words cut off as he suddenly launched forward, burying his beak and most of him, given the size, into Artie's wing. It did provide some comfort, her words on understanding, but not enough and Petrie's tears still flowed though his sobs had calmed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 12, 2011, 10:04:50 PM
"Aww, Petrie...come here..." she took the young flyer into her arms, rubbing his back gently with her claw as he cried for a little bit. Then she used her claw to bring his face to face her. "Now you listen to ol' Artie." she told him gently. "He may not get to return, but he did get to see you. Petrie, you are one of the very few highlights of his life. The main reason why Pterano was so eager to return was so he could see you again. You are his favorite nephew, Petrie. In fact, he even thinks of you as a son." She smiled softly. "When my uncle died, I didn't know what to do except spend some quality time with him until he passed on. And that's what you should do as well."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 14, 2011, 10:49:50 AM
Petrie just listened, sniffling once or twice, as Artie went on. It somehow both helped and made it worse, her saying how highly Pterano thought of him and how anxious he'd been to get back.

Running a hand along his beak, Petrie nodded, still not sure he wanted to be anywhere near the hopeless situation, but also Miss Artie had a point. This was all he had of time with Pterano and he should make the best of it, even if that just meant being there by his side like Devon.

Giving Artie another hug, still upset but this time more of one of thanks too, Petrie flapped down out of the tree.

Harper glanced up, noticing her brother right away. "Hi..." she trailed off with a small, sad, smile.

"Hey..." Petrie glanced aside, "me sorry about...".

"That's ok" Harper cut him off, understanding about how upset he'd been and so not holding his slight snapping at her against him.

Petrie glanced over to where Devon was with Pterano again. Harper reached over and took his hand, squeezing it. "Come on" she said softly, having read what her brother was thinking over and being there for him in moral support no matter how this wouldn't be easy for either of them. Petrie never let go of her hand either as they walked back over.

"So..." Harper glanced from Petrie to Devon, "Mr. Roger's got a plan", it was half a question half an overly optimistic statement.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on July 14, 2011, 07:04:46 PM
Not too long after, Roger came back making a surprisingly good landing for him. He had some oddly shaped leaved in one hand and some berries in the other. "Is he out cold or can he still move?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 17, 2011, 04:09:55 AM
Zin watched the scene unfold below him. He shook his head slightly, but tried not to show his feelings.
He had seen this disease before. Bigger and stronger creatures than Pterano were killed by it, and even if a creature didn't die from it, he had never seen someone completely cured.
He hid a slight tear as he watched Roger. Those leaves might make him feel better, but they won't cure him, he thought.

Redback and Tero watched the scene unfold, the sharptooth wishing he could do something to help. Unfortunately, medicine was something he had never learned about. He did know one leaf that could help in this situation, that they may have to resort to.

"Tero, do me a favour. Go find that leaf."

The flyer silently nodded and flapped off over the mountain and out of view. Redback nodded grimly. He hoped that it would not have to come to that leaf. There was a reason that, when he still had his voice, Tero referred to it as the misery's-aid plant.

Fury blinked awake, his dreams and the pull of sleep leaving him. The first thing the young glider noticed however was the tension and fear in the air. Fury looked around and could see the sorrow and trepidation on Petrie and Harpers face and then noticed that everyone else, wore an almost identical expression as well. He wondered what was wrong, but didn't want to disturb anyone and stayed silent while keeping an eye out.

Seeing that nobody around Pterano was dropping down in the same condition, Luke cautiously lowered his hand from his beak.

"You've treated this before? Should we try and find more of those?" he asked Roger, indicating the leaves and berries he was holding.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 27, 2011, 10:21:24 PM
(Seeing that nobody has posted in here for days and to keep this rp going, I'm gonna skip to the evening when everyone's in the cave surrounding Pterano. They've tried everything they could think of but none could do the trick.)

The sun was starting to set in the horizon as Pterano laid on his back, head supported by a rock as the flyers surrounded him. He laid there unconscious as he was getting worse. Petrie and Devon stood by each of his sides, hanging their heads down. Niether of them knew what to say or what to do. They were crying, of course, losing Pterano was one of the hardest thing they would have to deal with in their lives.

All remained silent until Pterano opened his eyes as the first thing he saw was his nephew. "P-P-Petrie..." Pterano whispered in a raspy voice.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on July 27, 2011, 11:57:42 PM
Although everyone else was surrounding him Roger was in the background hitting himself in the head repeatedly. "How could that not work? I had the stuff, chanted the right words everything" he sighed and looked at his hands "Failed as usual"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 27, 2011, 11:58:17 PM
Petrie's entire world and focus had been narrowed down to one horrible fact he couldn't get around. His Uncle Pterano was...not going to be around. It was something he still found unbelievable even if Artie had helped him a bit in coming to terms. While disbelieving he also couldn't believe otherwise, not when Pterano looked so clearly drained.

The little flyer felt himself tense up at Pterano addressing him. He was half afraid to speak because he didn't know if he'd be able to make his voice work even. He felt a squeeze at his shoulder and glance over it to see Harper, just as distraught as the rest of them, but handling it differently and even better, he would say, by being able to look strong enough for Petrie's sake as she gave a small nod of encouragement to him.

Petrie turned back to face Pterano. "Y-yes, Uncle?" he said.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 28, 2011, 12:04:10 AM
"Petrie, if anything happens to me..." Pterano drifted off, he found it difficult to tell his beloved nephew that he wouldn't be around much longer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on July 28, 2011, 12:06:45 AM
Jared cried as he watched Pterano speak to Petrie.. He didn't want Pterano to die. The tan rhamphorhynchus wiped the flood of tears rolling down his beak.  :cry  :cry

Jared thought in his head, "Please.....Please.....Pterano.....don't die!! I...I don't want to lose you.....and...and..if you die.....your poor little nephew Petrie won't have an uncle or anybody to look up to anymore."  :cry  :cry

Jared lowered his head, still sobbing. :cry

A fluttering noise came at the cave entrance, as Tero returned. He limped to stand by his friend's side, as Redback looked down to him.

He had found the plant, alright. There it was, stinrgy, dark green, with the blackish-purple head. The Misery's Aid plant.

"Thanks Tero. Let's hope it don't come to that, but just in case... At least he wouldn't be lingering in suffering anymore"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on July 28, 2011, 04:44:11 AM
Luke surveyed the scene around Pterano. Things didn't look good for him. In times of stress he always felt hungry, and right on cue his stomach rumbled. He looked up as Tero entered the cave, and saw he was carrying some kind of plant. "Is that food, Tero?" he asked, walking over, "Doesn't look very appetising..." He reached out for it.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 28, 2011, 10:41:44 AM
Petrie frowned, "N-nothing happen to you uncle" he stepped closer, almost as if he thought if he said it it would make it true.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 28, 2011, 12:51:27 PM
"Petrie, I won't be here that much longer, I'm not as young as I used to be..." Pterano told his beloved nephew. "Which is why I need to you promise me one big favor..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on July 28, 2011, 03:30:05 PM
As Luke reached for the plant, Tero recoiled, tightening his grip on the plant.

Redback leaned down to whisper in Luke's ear "Not a good idea. Truth is, it's kinda appetising, but only to certain people."

As he saw the look of confusion on Luke's face, he explained "Well, Luke, you know the old ideas of a person being so sick or so in pain that they'd actually prefer to be...well, you know? Well, that's what this plant is for. It helps put the eater outta their misery by doin' them in quickly and gently. It's just in case it gets bad enough for Pterano to want to do it himself."

He then noticed Petrie drawing ever closer to his dying uncle. He then whispered to Luke "Don't tell the others, especially Petrie. Knowin' them, they probably wouldn't approve."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 28, 2011, 06:41:22 PM
Biting his beak, Petrie went to argue this fact of his uncle's going once again, but Harper laying a hand on his shoulder again paused him. Taking a steadying breath he walked fully up to be beside Peterno now as Harper turned aside as if turning aside from the whole situation as well.

"Me, me do anything for you, uncle" Petrie said in a low voice.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 28, 2011, 07:00:06 PM
Pterano smiled at him, very weak but lovingly at his nephew. "Promise me, when I'm gone, that you'll take care of your mother and your siblings. I've spent nearly all my days here in the Mysterious Beyond worrying about their safety. I know they were in the Great Valley, but what if something so bad happened in the Great Valley that they had to leave? I was their lookout and their protector but it seems that I just can't do that anymore. So this is why, I'm passing the opportunity to you, Petrie. I've done alot of things I regret so I suggest that you don't make the same mistakes I did. I don't want to see you going through the conseqences I had to go through. Promise me, Petrie, promise me that you will take care of them. They need you more than you know."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on July 28, 2011, 07:06:09 PM
Chomper, who had been silent for hours mostly out of shock, stood next to Petrie as Pterano told him his very special request.

Thoughts started racing through the little sharptooth's mind. Uh...very strange thoughts that only a sharptooth would ever think of. IT mostly had to do with what most sharpteeth did when someone died. He decided not to bring it up.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 28, 2011, 08:37:06 PM
Petrie didn't know what he expected his uncle to ask of him, but it certainly wasn't that. Not that the request was all that odd or impossible. It was the exact opposite in fact and that's why it shocked the little flyer so much.

He would have never thought to not do whatever he could for his siblings or his mother, but he also would never have really thought of himself as main flyer to do that. His mother took care of them, he hardly ever thought about it the other way.

Petrie glanced over towards Harper, but she had moved far enough to have not overheard. Despite the fact that by agreeing he taking on the passed sky light so to speak and sort of accepting that there was nothing any of them could do for Pterano, Petrie turned back to his uncle and nodded, "Me, me will" he nodded. Then everything he had sort of said and accepted hit the little flyer and broke down, crying, hugging Pterano's wing.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 28, 2011, 11:15:31 PM
Pterano watched as his nephew sobbed on his wing and he couldn't stand to see him like this. "Awww, Petrie..." he said, pulling the boy onto his chest and wrapping his strong arms around him. "Hey it's gonna be okay. Do you hear me? It will. I know I may be...yeah, but I'll always be with you. Because once you love someone, they're with you inside your heart...forever." He tilted his head. "Petrie, let me tell you something I should have told you a long time ago."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 29, 2011, 12:22:05 AM
Petrie tried to take in his uncle's words, but it was still hard just knowing they were losing him, "W-what?" he asked, glancing up to Pterano.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 29, 2011, 02:36:32 AM
Pterano looked down at the kid. "You know what? My uncle died of this same disease...or was it old age...hmmm, I forget. So anyway. After that was pretty tough for me to continue living and boy was I depressed. I was an emotional wreak. But then you were born. I don't know what hit me that night, but for the first time in twenty years, I felt like a hatchling, ready to take flight for the first time. I looked into your eyes, and I felt that those twenty long years of mourning the death of my mate has finally returned to me."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on July 30, 2011, 10:44:29 AM
Petrie listened, at first confused but soon captivated by what his uncle was saying. He was young, of course, and didn't know of any trouble really having ever hit his family except for Pterano's exiles and all, but of course there would have been prior years for struggled he knew nothing of. But the most shocking thing was to find out he'd been such a help to Pterano. Not all of him and his siblings, but just him. He gave a small smile.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on July 30, 2011, 10:36:10 PM
Pterano smiled back at his nephew, stroking his cheek lightly. "Thank you, Petrie...I love you..." the red pteranodon turned to the blue flyer beside him. "Devon, come closer..."

The blue cearadactylus leaned in close to his father and took him by the hand. "I'm here, Dad."

"Devon, I won't be here with you much longer."

"Pterano, don't you DARE say that! You're gonna make it! You will! You will!"

"I'm sorry Devon, but, I'm too sick to move on with my life. I'm very old, Devon. I've lived my life." Pterano spoke in a raspy voice.

"That's not true! You're not old! You proved it when you knocked down that sharptooth!" Devon protested, tears starting to form in his eyes as he continuedt to squeeze Pterano's hand.

Pterano sighed, rubbing his son's hand. "Devon, I need you to promise me something."

"Anything, Daddy."

Pterano smiled at his son. "Promise me you'll never forget me." Devon opened his mouth to protest but Pterano went on. "Remember the wisdom, protection and love that I gave you. Remember that, so you can do the same for your children. Find yourself a mate you can trust, and have yourself some beautiful children. Treat them with love and devotion as I had done with you. Remember what I taught you, Devon. And pass it on to your children so they can pass it on to their children and grandchildren. Promise me you'll do this."

Devon looked at him. "Of course, Dad."

Pterano smiled at his son for what seems like the last time, reaching up to touch his cheek. "Thank you, my son. I love you, Devon. I could'nt be more proud of you than I already am. Thank you...for being there for me...and being my son." Devon closed his eyes as tears fell freely down his face. He then felt Pterano's hand slip from his cheek and fall to the floor. He heard a quiet sigh coming from the old flyer. He opened his eyes to see his father, laying there, with his eyes closed.

Devon's eyes went wide open. "Oh my god! Dad?...Dad?..." his voice drifted off. For a second there, it seemed as though Pterano was dead. Luckily Pterano was still breathing, but his heartbeat was dangerously slow. So that didn't cease Devon's worrying. He burried his face into Pterano's chest, sobbing uncontrolly as he clutched to his arm, desperately wishin to be held by the old flyer...just one more time.

***Man that was sad...poor Devon...***
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Jared walked up to Pterano and kneeled down...sobbing and crying his eyes out... He couldn't take it anymore.

"Ohh..*sniff* Pteranoooo..."  :cry  :cry  sobbed the tan rhamphorhynchus as he gently placed one hand on the red flyer's shoulder... "Ohhhhh.. wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh*sniff!* why does it have to be this way....Why?!?!  said Jared...in a very sad broken-up voice..

Pterano was so special to Jared, too.... He was the one who let Jared and Luke come and live with him in the cave in the first place.

"I'm nothing without Pterano, either....nothing!" the tan rhamphorhynchus softly wailed as a flood of tears ran down his beak.

Jared was also sad about another thing: If Pterano was dead...then Devon would no longer have a protective, loving, devoted father...and poor poor little Petrie would no longer have an uncle to learn from or to look up to.

"This *sniff!* is *snifff!* b-b-b-beyond *snifff!* t-t-t-terrible!" Jared sobbed, and like Devon, he also buried his head into Pterano's chest.  Then, he totally broke down.

"I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!  H-h-h-h-h-he h-h-h-he h-h-h-he.... HE'S DEAD! WAAAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry  :cry

Said Jared, as he wailed, bawled, and cried his eyes out to no end.

Redback watched the sad scene, tears rolling down his cheeks. At least his last moments were with his family, he thought. At least he wasn't dying alone.
He took the mess of black grass from his head, holding it to his chest, like a hat. It was a tradition for him, every time he watched something die.
Tero, meanwhile, hurried out of the cave and stood out on the ledge. His beak twitched as he felt the first telltale signs of rain bounce off his beak. He gripped the Misery's Aid plant, before throwing it to the wind. he wouldn't need that anymore.

He stepped back as suddenly, Zin's massive head rose to greet him. His old face was solemn "So, is he...?"

Tero nodded. Zin lowered his head, resting his chin on the ledge, as a tear rolled from his eye. Tero limped until he was by the old dinosaur's nose, and patted his snout comfortingly.

Petrie had been holding back on hope that Miss Artie, everyone else and even Pterano had been wrong and that his uncle would be fine, but as he seemed to drift off for good the little flyer buried his own little head in his uncle's wings sobbing. He didn't even have Devon's clue that Pterano's heart still beat.

While she'd felt like she'd sort of abandoned Pterano, but then not really with Devon and Petrie there, Harper had by now moved to the outside of the cave, all her sadness still internal and trying to just almost pretend it wasn't happening. She knew it was though, especially as Redback came out and informed Zin of the news. Harper's eyes immediately shut tight.

Artie turned to Zin with a sad look, trying her best to hide the tears. "It would appear so..." She wished it wasn't true, but it was...Pterano...was dead. (Or at least she thought...)

Fury stood in a dark corner of the cave and despite his fever and extreme headache he looked around as the others mourned. Then for reasons even unknown to himself, his gaze shifted over to Harper. He knew from the moment the bad news was given that Petrie and Harper would take it the absolute hardest. He knew the pain of loss, and the loss of Pterano only reopened the pain he'd felt when he'd lost his own mother. His mind was quickly made up as he stepped through the cave and stood next to Harper outside. The young glider knew nothing he could say or do would make the pain any easier, so he let his body speak for him as he began to silently let tears of sorrow and empathy roll down his beak, staring straight at the horizon.
However the silence broke his resolve as he spoke quietly almost at a whisper into her ear. "The pain... of loss will never fade or go away. It will always feel like a fresh wound in your heart, but.... that is part of what remembering is about, both the pain... and the joy. Losing someone you care about is always hurtful and sometimes unfair... but if you remember the best times you've had with them... wether it's a story they told, or an adventure you had with them, or just... a simple hug before being laid down to rest at night... the joy... will always make the pain in your heart hurt less." He then continued to cry quietly trying to keep his breathing even and his stance steady as he struggled with his fever.

Harper hadn't even been aware, for a moment, of Fury walking up, but as he spoke she glanced over to him, noticing the tears of empathy even as she also took in his words. Her own tears too had started being allowed to fall but she found a small smile to try and thank him for the words she knew he meant. So well, in fact she wondered that he must have lost someone too. Yeah. It wasn't fair why anyone had to leave. Taking Fury's wing and giving it a slight squeeze of both her own comfort and thanks, Harper let it drop after a bit and just gazed forward. "Yeah. Thanks" were the only two words she said, but she said them sincerely.

Everyone bowed their heads down for their diseased leader.

Artie couldn't take it anymore. Pterano was dead...and there was nothing she could do about it. She broke down on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Joe stepped up to her, leaning his head near her. "Artie..." he whispered.

She glared at him, wiping her tears. "Why couldn't we save him?"

"We already know that, Artie." the spiketail told her. "He's gone to a better place now and we need a new leader." He smiled softly at her and Artie stared at him, studying his face until she came to realize who he was referring to.

"Wha-Me? I couldn't possibly-I'm not even a good leader!" Artie declined, pointing to her chest.

"Don't deny your destiny, Artie. You're a great leader, you just need to see it."

"But-" she was cut off by the old spiketail next to her.

"Artie, Pterano wouldn't want to see you deny your destiny. He didn't deny his..."

She gazed at him for a minute. She hated to admit it, but he was right. She stood up on her knees. "Everyone..." she announced. "I am your new leader, and I say we go now and find flowers for Pterano's funeral, and then in the morning, we bury him and pay our respects. Are we cool?"

Fury felt Harper hold his wing for a moment and squeeze before she spoke. He knew she meant those words with sincerity and it made him smile. But as she let go, his vision doubled and he couldn't see straight, and his breathing sped up as he realized his fever was acting up. His lack of balance suddenly caused him to stumble backwards and fall onto his back as he tried diligently to keep his stomach from doing loops, but failed at that too. He shuddered quietly still having enough of a mind set to keep quiet those still mourning. But no matter how hard he tried he simply couldn't keep his eyes open and he slowly passed out from the effort of staying awake.

**Guys. I'm very sad too. And i'm really crying... :cry  :cry I can't believe Pterano is dead..**

Jared stepped up to Artie.

He was still sobbing, and wailing...his voice was so sad..and so broken up..he was extremely disturbed just as much if not more than what Fury was capable of.....Jared was so sad..he totally broke down and threw a fit.

"Y-y-y-yeahhh A-a-a-a-artie.. y-you can go find flowers for Pt-Pt-Pterano's funeral... *sniffffffff!!!* dddyyyyohhhhhhhh!!! I can't live with myself!!! I CAN'T!! LOSING PTERANO IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TAKE!!:bang

"I spent so many years of my childhood alone after my dad became a sharptooth dinner...Then I meet the most incredible, powerful, and brave crested flyer i've ever seen...and only a couple days after I meet him...he dies!! NOW DEVON HAS NO PARENTS!! AND PETRIE AND HARPER JUST LOST THEIR UNCLLLLEEE!!"

Jared yelled in a raging fit..as he cried..and screamed.. stomping and pounding both feet on the ground..shaking his fists..

"That's it, Artie!! I'M DONE!! I've had it!!...I'm going to kill myself!!...I'll do it, too! I can't live anymore!! THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TAKE!!"

"I..WILL.. NOT... LIVE... WITHOUT.. PTERANO!!!" said Jared VERY broken-voiced..looking over at the cliff.. he was so emotionally hurt. He couldn't live without Pterano...

the tan rhamphorhynchus thought of a plan : "Artie, I'm gonna go jump off that cliff...not flap my wings.....and fall to my death... I can't live on without Pterano...*"

said Jared, sobbing and bowing his head down...

**Wow. Talk about drama!  :blink: Artie needs to do something to help me!**
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 03, 2011, 04:17:06 PM
(Darn you all and your plot twists! I was gonna have Artie lead the others to find flowers for Pterano and come back the next morning finding out that Pterano's corpse has been taken. But then, I was gonna have Pterano land in the opening, totally alive-Oh snap! I wasn't supposed to tell you that! :blink: Darn me and my  big mouth! Don't tell the characters I told you this! And ya know...I think I'll just skip to the morning anyways...right after this.)

Artie walked up to the depressed tan rhamphorhyncus and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Jared, I understand your pain, but this isn't the way to go. When my uncle passed away, I thought I would end up doing the same thing. But my mother told me this: Commiting suicide would only lead to an eternity of torture and abuse. However, trying to move on with your life would lead to an eternity of paradise. Life can be very hard sometimes. But that doesn't mean to jump to conclusions and kill yourself! It means you think things through and move on. Just because Pterano is dead, doesn't mean you have to be. And if you don't do something to move forward, you're gonna end up like Sierra here." She turned to the brown cearadactylus. "No offense, dude." Then she turned back to Jared. "So what do you say? Come with us and find flowers. It's what Pterano would want you to do. And I highly doubt he would like to see you commiting suicide as well."

She turned around to see a sleeping Devon on Pterano's dorment chest. She slowly walked towards the sleeping blue flyer, and moved Pterano's arm around him, as she knew it was what he would want. But the strange thing is, Pterano's arm felt kinda warm...very warm actually. Not so cold like a corpse would be. And...was it just her? Or did PTERANO'S CHEST JUST MOVE UP AND DOWN???? She sighed as she knew it was only her imagination. She turned back to the crowd. "Let's move out."

So she lead them down to the grounds in search for flowers. For those who couldn't fly, she had Rinkus and Sierra carry them as she herself carried Chomper. And yet, the only one who stayed behind with Devon was Joe as he plucked a blooming flower from the ground. "Poor old guy." he whispered as he tossed the flower next to Pterano's head.

And as if some miracle happened, Pterano opened his eyes weakly, moving his head slightly. Joe was surprised by this. "You're alive? But...how?" he shook his head as he grabbed the flower once again and held it out for Pterano. "That doesn't matter. Eat this...it'll make you feel better."

Pterano took the flower.

The next morning, Artie was the first to land with a bunch of flowers on her back being held by Chomper. She looked around the cave as she saw a sleeping Devon and Joe...but no Pterano. She was the first to react. "Uhh...guys?" She pointed towards the place Pterano was supposed to be...and yet he wasn't there as Joe and Devon was in his place.

As Fury collapsed in a heap, Harper frowned, worried of course just with how the gilder kept doing things like this yet also knowing he'd be mainly ok just because he always was and came out of stuff like this. She moved over and gently helped him sit up, even if he was still unconscious, and  having fits. She wasn't sure what she could do and so just placied him in a sitting position against the wall just to be more comfortable and in a bit of shade for while he was "out" and kept an eye on him.

Jared's break down didn't help even if the hatchling understood it being hard. She just frowned, yet Miss Artie seemed to be able to handle things real well and Harper was more than a bit impressed at her words as she spoke to Jared. As they gathered the flowers and for the rest of the day she just focused on being there for Petrie as her brother seemed just dazed now.

They both stared at Artie and where she stood as she pointed out Pterano being gone. "W-Where...". Petrie couldn't even finish his statement. Harper frowned, confused as well, this didn't make any sense.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 03, 2011, 06:52:03 PM
Devon was woken up by Artie and Petrie landing in the cave. He too noticed that he no longer had a pillow to sleep on. "HOLY HOLA DONUT!!!  WHERE THE HECK IS MY DAD????" he freaked out, going wide eyed. "Oh no...I've seen this before...SOMEBODY STOLE MY DAD!!!!!!!"

Joe too was awakened by the presence of Artie and Petrie. "Devon, calm down. I'm sure he's..." he stopped there, as he no longer could come up with the right words to say.

Chomper was actually relieved that he spent the day with Artie picking flowers. He figured if he stayed behind that morning, he'd probably be the first one to get an accusation when Pterano turned up missing.

"Do you think...Redback ate him? Where is he, anyway?" Chomper asked the group of dumbfounded flyers.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 03, 2011, 07:00:39 PM
Devon thought about what Chomper said, and he placed his hands on his claws. "Oh no...it's worse than I thought! REDBACK ATE MY DAD!!!!!!!" Then the blue flyer clenched his fists in anger. "I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!!!"

Joe nudged his back with his head. "Devon, calm down! Redback wasn't even with us last night. He was with all the other flyers picking out flowers. And if there WAS a possibility that he ate your father...with the flyers busy hunting and picking, just how would he be able to get up here?"

Devon glared at him, clenching his fists at him. But then he placed his fist down, realizing that Joe had a point. He sighed. "This is all too confusing for me..."

"Devon... please..calm down....it's ok. I don't know where Pterano disappeared to either..and besides, it wouldn't be like Redback to just go and eat Pterano." said Jared, shrugging his shoulders...

"But still..I wonder where Pterano went to?" he asked, feeling a little puzzled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 03, 2011, 08:08:01 PM
(Wow... :blink: I didn't have to wait very long now did I?  :lol )

"Well whatever happened to him...I think we all should still pay our respects to Pterano...he deserves it more than I do..." Artie said, bowing down her head along with everyone else. Just then...

"Oh, hi everyone! What'd I miss?"

Everyone went wide eyed and they turned to the direction of the voice...the very familiar voice. They couldn't believe their eyes and if there was a world record for the world's biggest jaw drops, they would all be tied up in first place. Standing before them was none other than the one and only...

"Pterano?" Artie said, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I woke up and it was like a ghost valley in here. So I just thought I'd go ahead and get me some breakfast." He sighed, leaning against the cave. "Whew! Who knew that after a while, flying would take alot of energy!"

Everyone just stared at him, dropping the flowers they had, still too shocked to say anything. "What? Are you just gonna stand there or come and give me a hug?" Pterano opened his arms as he knew what was coming.

"DAAAADDD!!!!!!!!" Devon was the first to act as he rammed himself into Pterano, throwing his arms around his neck, nuzzling him gently. Pterano couldn't help but chuckle as he wrapped his arms around his son's waist, pulling him in closer.

"Well...hello there, my son." Pterano said, tightening his grip on Devon.

Despite his unconscious state, his labored breathing and his raging fever Fury could somehow just 'feel' the emotions of those around him. After several seconds of trying to figure out exactly what his body was doing, he mentally realized he didn't care, as he spoke while still unconscious, having no control over his body or voice, with the latter having a coarse echo-like sound to it. "He returns to us now, stronger than... b-before as he mocks death... f-for it is... not so easy to claim.... a child... born to... t-the sky!" The young glider coughed then fell silent again, sleeping peacefully.

Jared RAN right over to Pterano! He was so HAPPY! He jumped up and down with joy!

"Pterano! You're ALIVE! AWWWHHH!" said the tan rhamphorhynchus as he gave the red pteranodon a huge hug!

"I-I-I-I-I-I thought y-y-you were dead! Ohhh Pterano...i'm so happy you're alive...and so is Devon, Petrie, Harper, Artie......we ALL are!!"

"DYOOHHHHHHHH!!!"  :D  said Jared, burying his head into Pterano's chest..  "I'm SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED that you're ok!" he smiled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 12:15:30 AM
Pterano couldn't help but chuckle as he wrapped an arm around the tan rhamphorhynchus below him. "Well, I'm glad to see you too, Jared."

Devon, equally as happy as Jared, couldn't help but scoot himself closer to his father. He really loved  him. To Devon, he was the best father a son would ever ask for. He was kind, caring and understanding. Devon just couldn't lose him. He couldn't bare it. Pterano just couldn't die...not now.

He burried his face deep into Pterano's chest as he felt the red flyer's arm tighten around him and his beak rest on his head.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 04, 2011, 10:42:38 AM
Even as she turned in shock of her own, Harper caught that Fury said something, she just wasn't sure what. Well it showed he'd be ok at least. She smiled and then turned to dart over to Pterano at the same time as Petrie as the two also hugged him.

"You...you ok" was all Petrie could say in relief as he hugged his uncle.

"Yeah" Harper smiled, "But...how?". She was relieved of course, but also confused.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 10:57:13 AM
Sierra rolled his eyes, inwardly relieved to see Pterano getting better, but he also knew that it was just like him to do something along these lines. Even in death he couldn't escape the theatrics. "Sheesh... rather typical, wouldn't ya say?" he mumbled to no one in particular.

He watched as his son went over to Pterano, and buried his face into his chest. Maintaining a stolid face, the flyer simply watched the scene unfold.

Rinkus too was going through some emotions, though much different than Sierra's. He was instead wiping his eyes, and sniffling a little at the breaking of the condition that had gripped Pterano. Jared was over there, and Rinkus patiently waited for everyone to stop crowding the flyer.

Sierra approached his son from behind now, and cleared his throat. "Ahem... yeah... great you're doing better Pterano... but mind if I have a word with Devon?" he asked.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 04, 2011, 12:34:35 PM
Redback had entered, not far behind the others. Carrying a bunch of flowers in paw, he was as shocked as anyone when he heard the others shouting about Pterano's body disappearing. His shock was complete when he overheard Devon's lament, and accusations against him. Why would HE eat Pterano?! What reason would I have, he thought to himself.
As he entered the caves, ready to give Devon a piece of his mind, he was even more shocked to see Pterano's form flying over him into the cave entrance.

As he entered the caves, he smiled with relief as he saw Pterano reacquainting with his family and friends. It was always heartwarming to see such a thing.

But as he watched, he saw Sierra trying to draw Devon to the side. he stepped forwards, frowning slightly.

"Hold on a second there, devon. before you go, I think you owe someone an apology."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 01:30:35 PM
Devon looked at Redback, shocked. He heard me? Well...I might as well. He broke from Pterano's hug and turned to face the sailback. "I'm sorry, Redback for accusing you for something you didn't even do. It's just I was confused. I had no idea what had happened to Pterano. I was just so worried. Can you forgive me?"

Well now that's done and over with, might as well go talk to my dad. He went with Sierra. "Sure, what is it?" he asked.

Pterano hugged his nephew and niece along with Jared in his arms. "Well, Harper, Mr. Joe over there," he signalled to Joe with his beak. "handed me a flower and told me it would make me feel better if I ate it. So I did and the next thing I knew, I was soaring high in the sky searching for-" He was cut off when...

"PTERANO!!!!!" Artie shouted in extreme excitement as she too rammed herself into Pterano, thrwoing her arms around his neck, sending him on his back to the ground, with Petrie, Jared, Harper and her, piled right on top of him.

"Ooof!" Pterano chuckled as he extended his arm around her. "Well, hello there, Artie."

Joe chuckled at the sight. "Well I'll be...it really is him." he muttered to himself.

(Dang...how long have I been aleep? :blink: )
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 01:37:43 PM
"Well uh... see... after that whole incident... it showed me just how much you really care about Pterano there." he said, speaking in low tones so that the conversation would mostly just be kept between himself and his son. "Anyway... you were on the verge of panic... you must... really love him, huh?" he asked, half turning his head to regard his son.

"I can see that he's going to be a far better pops than I ever could be... or ever was for that matter. I think the time has come for me to leave you with him... and just... move on with my life, I guess. You'll have a good home with him... and I... well I'll be finding my own... things in life, I suppose. That uh... OK with you?" he asked, his tone still low, and he let his wings hang to his side now.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 01:46:29 PM
"Yes I do. I love him so much...wait a minute! You're leaving?" Devon suddenly realized where his father was getting at.

Pterano, hearing the whole thing, poked his head up. "Wait, you're leaving Sierra? You don't have to do that! We have plenty of room!" Pterano told him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 01:52:12 PM
He gave his son a solemn nod. Pterano overheard Devon's words however, and Sierra had to face the flyer now.

"Wellll I guess you do, Pterano. But the thing is, you and Devon got something pretty good... and real for that matter. I'd just be getting in the way of that. I don't want to be cramping you two or anything. You showed up with Devon and things started changing. I wasn't expecting to see my son again so soon, and after all this, I figure maybe you and him would want to have a real father and son relationship... without me gettin' in the way of anything. I sees it that I lost the right to raise my son years ago, and you earned it." he told the flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 01:58:36 PM
"Is this what you want, Sierra?" Pterano asked, gasping under all the wieght. "Okay guys, Uncle Pterano's gotta get up." He said, gently pushing the four flyers off of him and he stood up to Sierra.

"Sierra, you don't have to go, but if you really want to, I can't stop you. So if you want to go, at least say goodbye to everyone around here. For starters, come and give me a hug!" Just then the unthinkable happened as Pterano pulled the brown flyer into a hug.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 02:07:28 PM
"Ooof!" Sierra gasped as Pterano pulled him in for a hug. "Uhh... what are you doin', Pterano?" he asked, wriggling a little to try and get free, though his wings were pinned to his sides.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 02:11:00 PM
"Look, I know hugs aren't your thing, but might as well, since we're saying goodbye now aren't we?" Pterano pointed out as he moved his arms so Sierra's wings were no longer pinned.

"Oh, just hug him already, Dad." Devon told his biological father. "Ya know ya want to."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 02:14:22 PM
"Well... I suppose but... still... you know this... ain't really my thing." Sierra said, shifting in Pterano's grasp. "Look uh... I don't really know how to say this but just... take care of him, alright?" Sierra said, hugging Pterano back, albeit uneasily.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 02:18:23 PM
"Of course." Pterano replied, pulling away with a smile. Then he began to speak in his Texan accent that had rubbed off on him. "Ya'll best come back again, ya hear?"

Devon couldn't help but chuckle. Pterano had no idea at just how rediculous he sounded with that Texan accent. "I taught him that." he declared, placing an arm around the red flyer.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 04, 2011, 02:25:20 PM
Sierra snorted a little at the attempt to mimic his way of speaking, but just closed his eyes and shook his head. "Yeah well... keep practicing. MAYBE I'll come around again." he said, not sounding very sure of himself. "See I just... feel like this is more of your lives now, not mine. Ain't my business to interfere." he stated.

"Alright... I guess I gotta say goodbye to Devon next." he said, looking right at his son.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 04, 2011, 02:30:38 PM
"Oh please, Sierra, you're always welcomed here. I'm sure Devon would love it if you came back for the holidays or something." Pterano told the brown flyer.

Devon stepped up to his father, immediately giving him a hug. "I'll miss you."

As Harper heard that it was Mr. Joe who was responsible for the miracle of sorts, she smiled over at the spiketail and then moved over along with Petrie as Pterano and Sierra talked. Petrie seemed lost as to what to start with in suing thanks, so Harper started for them. "Well, Mr. Joe, thank you" she smiled.

"Yeah, me no know what me do without Uncle Pterano" Petrie said, suddenly being the one to launch up and hug the spiketails neck.

Harper giggled, "Petrie, don't choke him, that's not good payback".

"Yeah well... I ain't really... good with holidays." he muttered. "Can't ever remember what day is which." He looked right at Devon now, and nodded. He proceeded to hug him back when his son performed this act, and he patted him a few times on the back.

"Yeah... I'll miss you too. Alright well... I'll... see you around." He said, breaking the embrace, and walking over to the edge of the cave. Giving everyone behind him one last look over his shoulder, the flyer spread his wings, and took off into the sky, looking about him as he decided where to head next, and began making a line toward that course as he did.

Redback let his frown loosen into a gentle smile at Devon's nervous face, and patted him on the head with a clawed hand "Heh, it's okay kid. I understand how yer emotions can get in the way of yer judgement. Just go easy on the swift accusations next time, kay?"

As Sierra said his goodbyes, Redback stood back and watched. he had not had alot of time to get to know the strange brown flyer. But he was still a tiny bit sad to see him go. he brought alot of drama to the group, and it had made things very interesting for him.

And, as always, Tero stood to the side, watching the whole scene with a blank stare. But as he saw Sierra fly off into the morning sunlight, he let his visage slip into a tight smile as he waved goodbye to him.

"Well...there he goes...out into the open." Devon said, watching as his biological father got smaller and smaller until he disappeared into the distance. Despite all the times Sierra abused him, he was kinda sad to see him go as well.

Pterano placed an arm around his son. "Who would've thought that the fiesty Sierra we once knew would head out on his own. Though he has changed alot in the past few days."

"Yeah." Devon could only agree.

"You did a good job, you know," Pterano started as the blue flyer looked at him confused. "Giving him a second chance, even though you never wanted to must have really changed him. I'm so proud of you, son."

"Thank's Dad." Devon hugged the older flyer back, leaning on his shoulder as they continued to watch the sunrise.

Fury coughed several times and blinked his eyes open. He looked around and gave a tired smile as he noticed the happy atmosphere around him. "I don't know what's going on... but whatever has happened, I say we celebrate." commented the young glider as he shakily stood up and kept his balance.

Harper giggled, turning to Fury and walking over to him again to help steady him if need be, "Yeah it's pretty big" she answered for him what had occurred, "Uncle Pterano's escaped near death, but not due to being awesome like he'd probably say, it was all Mr. Joe's doing" she smiled.

"He...he probably survive partly because he just great like that too" Petrie half argue.

Harper smiled back at her brother, "Sure Petrie" she said.

Pterano couldn't help but smile at his nephew and niece. Then he remembered the one thing that he really needed to do. He turned to the green spiketail. "Yes, thank you for saving me. I couldn't have made it without you."

"Aww, don't mention it, ol' buddy." Joe said, blushing a little.

Devon broke out of his father's grip. "Oh yes!" he too rushed to hug Joe's neck tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!! For saving my dad, sir."

"Oooof! Well," Joe chuckled. "You're quite welcome young ones."

Fury was thankful that Harper was there to keep him standing upright, but he smiled as he stopped leaning against her for a moment and stood on his own as he he looked around, seeing Pterano up and about, thanking the spiketail who'd saved his life. "I'm feeling a little better now. I feel like stretching my wings. Does anyone else want to join me?" he asked as he blinked his vision clear.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 06, 2011, 05:55:26 PM
Pterano heard Fury's offer and decided he could use a little stretching. After all, he did have one heck of a flight due to his curing sickness. He turned to the little glider. "Yeah, I could use a little stretch in the old wings." he said, stepping towards the opening. "Would it be nicer if we could do it outside?"

"Yeah, me too." Artie agreed. "I had a looooong night of hunting for flowers for Pterano, whom I thought was gonna DIE!!!!!" She gave Pterano a glare before turning back to everyone else behind her. "Anyone else like to join us?" She offered.

Just then, Joe gasped as he suddenly remembered something. "So Pterano, I heard it was your starday yesterday," he spoke up. "Well, happy starday...despite the...uhh...illness thing."

"Thank you, Joe." Pterano replied, with a smile.

"I will, Artie! I'd love to come and fly with you and Pterano. Count me in." Jared smiled and nodded happily.  :D

"Me too!" Petrie darted over to his uncle. Harper thought on what she wanted do. "Well I get the feeling I'll probably be here alone if I don't, so I guess I'll come too" she smiled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 07, 2011, 03:46:48 PM
Fury gave a small laugh at Harpers statement before he spoke. "That's a good thing... because I'm sure you'd be the only one able to catch me if I stopped flying Harper."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 08, 2011, 03:31:38 AM
Pterano couldn't help but smile as Petrie, Harper and Jared joined up with them. "Grand! Let's get going, shall we?"

"Of course, Dad." Devon replied.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 08, 2011, 09:41:51 AM
Redback inwardly wished he could join the flyers. But he was starting to feel a bit sleepy. Yawning, he waved "Well, y'all flyers have a good flight. I'll stay behind, guard the cave. Maybe catch up on some sleep too."

Tero followed his large friend to the ledge, but Redback stopped him.

"Forget it, snore-beak! You go on with the others, have yerself a flight. I'll be fine."

"I'll make sure he does nothing silly" Zin said jokingly from the opening.

Post by: Pterano on August 08, 2011, 10:04:19 AM
No one had really asked him, but Rinkus figured it was alright to tag along. "Yeah... may as well stretch the wings and go for a bit of a flight." he said. Sierra was gone now, and that left him of the original duo that Pterano had picked up.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 08, 2011, 10:29:35 AM
Harper would have asked why Fury felt he would just randomly fall from the sky, but then that was right, the glider did seem to do things like that. "Well I'd prefer you didn't just fall from the sky, but yeah I'll keep an eye out and catch you if you do" she smiled.

Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 09, 2011, 12:57:38 AM
(Okeey...EPICNESS TIME!!! YEAH!!!!)

Just as Pterano and the flyers were about to leave the cave, a loud roar swept the land. Devon went wide eyed, as he dashed behind Pterano. "Dad...what the heck was that?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 09, 2011, 02:08:55 AM
For the briefest of moments Fury felt fear grip his heart, but then he remembered what he did the last time he'd faced down a fastbiter and he spread his wings and took up a protective stance in front of Petrie and Harper, baring his teeth and giving a warning screech.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 09, 2011, 02:48:16 AM
The roar took place again. Pterano gasped. It can't be... He knew that roar every where. Red Claw...

As if on cue, two giant green legs stepped in front of the cave opening. "It is," he muttered out loud but only for Devon could hear, for he was right behind him. Two fast biters entered the opening, lunging straight for the dinosaurs. Normally, his first reaction would be to dash behind Redback or Joe and pretend he wasn't there. But as he looked around to see everyone's frightened face, he knew he couldn't just let them die. He was their leader...and a real leader wouldn't coward out like this.

Pterano stood up straight and spreaded his wings to shield Devon and whoever was behind him. "If you want to hurt them, you'd have to get through me."

Just like nothing, Screech and Thud passed him, lunging for Joe, knowing that the old spiketail would make a lovely main course. Pterano puffed out his chest and lunged for the fast biter, landing on his back and wrapping his arms tightly around his neck. "No you don't!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 09, 2011, 11:42:13 AM
Tero saw the three sharpteeth coming, and his mind raced on what to do. But as son as he saw that the 2 in front were fast biters, his eyes widened in terror and he took to the sky, flying to the top of the mountain and staying there.

Redback, meanwhile, rubbed the lump on his head from when he banged it on the cave ceiling as he heard Redclaw's roar. As he saw the sillouhettes of the chaos in the caves, he hurried to his feet and leapt into the fray.

He stood inbetween the fast-biters and Joe, bearing his massive teeth, slashing at them with his claws and roaring, "BACK OFF!". Finally, a real fight! He was in his element.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 09, 2011, 12:38:43 PM
Harper frowned at the roar that sounded out, and turned to the cave entrance just as Petrie answered the question of who it might be. "Redclaw..." he backed up, fear written on his face.

"How do you know it's him just off the roar?" Harper asked as Fury moved in front of them, "It could be any sharptooth". Then the green sharptooth became visible and Screech and Thud rushed in at them. "Ok, it is them...". She flinched as the fast biters rushed at them, but then they kept on and over towards Mr. Joe. Harper and Petrie both gasped, especially as Pterano leapt onto one of them.

Harper turned to her brother and friend, "Petrie, Chomper, quick, how did you all deal with Redclaw and the fast biters before? I know you did it all the time, I just don't recall how".

"Um..." Petrie tried to think, "Well we run most times". That was little help here. Another roar sounded and the two hatchlings turned, but this roar was a good thing as Redback rushed in to help.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 09, 2011, 04:17:43 PM
Pterano held on as tight as he could onto Thud's neck as the fast biter shook violently. The red flyer let out a scream, as he noticed he was losing grip. He tried to tighten his arms, but before he could, Thud gave one last fearful shake of the head, sending Pterano back into the air. The red flyer tried his best to get his flight back, but he ended up crashing into the wall before landing on the floor in deep pain.

"DAAAADD!!!!!" Devon shouted as a great ball of rage hit him. He lunged at Thud, letting out a scream as he did so. But before he could do anything to the fast biter, Thud dodged his blow and scratched at the blue flyer's chest and thus, throwing him into the air as he landed right next to Pterano.

Pterano however had seen what happened to Devon and as if a fatherly instinct kicked in, he stood up on his feet, despite the pain. "Nobody hurts my baby boy!" He lunged at the velociraptor, slashing at him, sending him backwards. Pterano got into a fighting stance as Thud began to circle him.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: vonboy on August 09, 2011, 04:30:43 PM
Chomper was just staying back so far in the fight. Even if he was a sharptooth with really sharp teeth, he was still pretty little, and wouldn't stand much of a chance. Even against Screech or Thud.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 09, 2011, 11:14:55 PM
At Pterano's cry, both hatchlings turned. "Uncle!" Petrie called in worry as he saw Thud fling him off. It was chaos, with Devon and Pterano both seemingly trying to charge at the fast biters but not having much success. Even with Redback's assistance, Harper wasn't sure how much longer this could go before someone got hurt.

Petrie was already making to flap forward as Pterano circled Thud, when Harper stopped him. "Come on Petrie, think, we need a plan" she encouraged, glancing from him to Chomper, "What's worked against them before?".

"Well..." Petrie struggled to think up something, "There..." as he glanced about, he noticed a hole in the back of the cave that might lead further on, "there time we make talk back to confuse them" Petrie whispered to Harper and even Chomper, glancing to his friend to see what he thought of this. "But we have to go through itty bitty hole into who know what..." he went on with a nervous frown. There might not been be a useable cavern beyond.

"Well...we gotta try something" Harper glanced to the fray once more.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 09, 2011, 11:59:09 PM
Pterano watched closely as Thud circled him and then lung full speed at him, giving out a roar. The red flyer dodged the blow and slashed his claws at the velociraptor. "Is that all you got?" he challenged, baring his teeth. "I've seen better."

As if the fast biter understood Pterano's rather rude comment, he charged at the flyer as Pterano shot himself into the air. "That's right, big guy! Right this way!" he shouted, leading the fast biter away from the hurt cearadactylus but having absolutely no idea that he drifting towards the cave opening, and thus into Red Claw's mouth.

"PTERANO!!! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!!" Artie shouted at the top of her lungs. But it was too late. Before Pterano could realize what the blue pteranodon was babbling about, Red Claw snapped his jaws shut, grabbing Pterano's leg, and pulling him outside.

"PTEERAAAANOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Artie screamed as she flew out after him.

As for Thud, you could see a small smirk form across his lips, before he turned to the unconscious Devon. He lunged at him, letting out yet another roar...

Only to get rammed into by Joe. "No, you don't!" he shouted.

Red Claw brought Pterano to the skies, tossing him out of his mouth into the air. But as he did, Pterano immediately took flight. "Well, well, well, look what we've got here," the red flyer taunted.

The green tyrannosaurus snapped his jaws at Pterano a few times, only getting air instead of meat. "My my, Red Claw, someone needs to brush their teeth!" He chuckled. He was having too much fun with this.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 10, 2011, 02:28:41 AM
Fury at this moment acting strictly on impulse and not willing to let his friends worry about him, he turned to where Harper and Petrie had mentioned using the talk back from deeper inside the cave and chuckled. "Well there's only one way to find out if it works." he commented with a wide grin. He rushed over to the hole, and after a moment's hesitation he forced his way though and laughed. "Hey Petrie! I owe you a treestar!" he shouted back the way he'd came as he stared up into a larger cavern.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 10, 2011, 05:04:41 AM
Redback's eyes glazed over, becoming fully red. The bloodlust took him and with a roar, he charged right into the sharpteeth, heading right for Thud
The fast-biter gnashed at him, one of his teeth catching him in the side, but the gash was minimal. It only added to his rage.
Redback didn't even bother with claws or teeth. He simply went in like a boxer, grabbing him in a headlock with one arm, and pummelling him in the head over and over again with the other.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 10, 2011, 11:48:57 AM
"Why you owe me tree sweet?" he wondered as he followed Fury over towards the hole he'd climbed through and peered through.

Harper laughed, "Petrie, it works, his talk back is all...big. Come on" she started to crawl through herself now. Petrie hesitated and then followed as well. "Wow...yeah this could work" she smiled over to her brother "good job. I guess you are good for more than just being annoying".

"Me just remember what others do" Petrie shrugged, then frowned as he caught that last part.

"Hello!" Harper gave a test yell and it bounced around and then back to her. She giggled.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on August 10, 2011, 05:42:25 PM
After Jared saw and heard Pterano taunt Red Claw with the "brush your teeth" thing...

he laughed.  :DD

"Ha haa haahhh!! OHHH YEAH!! THAT'S tellin' him who's BOSS, Pterano!!!! You ROCK!! "

"You don't mess around with the FLYERS !!!" Jared said, encouraging Pterano some more.  :)
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 10, 2011, 07:41:18 PM
Pterano heard what Jared said and he smirked. "You heard him, Dumb Claw...YOU MUST DIE!!!!!!" the red flyer took a vine but before he could do anything, a strange yell could be heard. "What the..." Did I miss something? Or did that scream sound like my nephew? :blink:
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 11, 2011, 01:25:19 AM
Fury now knowing their plan could work, flapped his wings twice and listened to the sound reverberate off the walls loudly and smiled. He then after a few moments of consideration looked to Petrie and Harper before speaking. "You two might want to cover your ears." he said as he stepped forward and cleared his throat. The glider then inhaled as much as his body would allow and then he gave a loud, almost primal and horrid roar throughout the cave.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 11, 2011, 05:53:02 AM
Redback was still oblivious to all going on around him, his vision glazed into shades of red, his entire being focused on the fast biter in front of him. Screech was reeling from the flurry of punches, and Redback grabbed him round the throat and threw him back towards the cave entrance.

But he collapsed in pain as Fury's roar echoed through the caves. It was the loudest thing he had ever heard. It tore him right out of his Red Wrath, he felt like his ears might explode!
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 11, 2011, 10:53:22 AM
As Harper continued just testing out noises, Petrie slowly started to think that maybe this could work. Mainly because he had successfully scared Redclaw with it before, or him, Chomper and their friends had. That made him wonder if they would really fall for it a second time, but it was the best plan he had at the moment.

Harper had already been flying low, and Petrie flapped down to join her as they both heard what Fury said. Both flyers covered their ears and then caught, on a level they could take, the glider's cry. "Wow, yeah that should chase them off" Harper said. Petrie smiled, this could quite possibly go better than when he and the others tried it before.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 11, 2011, 03:27:51 PM
The two fast biters, having absolutely no idea where those mysterious screams came fled the cave. As for Red Claw, he watched as they ran out and at first, he called them back to get their dinner, but he too heard Fury's scream, and fled as well.

Pterano perched himself at the top of the cave, watching as the sharpteeth cowardly ran for their lives. "Yeah, that's right!" The pteranodon shouted after them. "You'd better run, cowards! Oh, and next time you mess with my friends like that...IT'S GOING TO BE ALOT WORSE!!!!!"

He then landed at the cave opening, checking on his...uh..."herd". "Is everyone alright?" He turned his looks on everyone. No one seemed to be hurt bad...except for a certain blue flyer by the name of...

Pterano gasped, as his eyes spotted his son. "Devon!" he rushed to the blue flyer's side, immediately taking him in his arms. "Devon?! Devon?!? Can you hear me?" He checked his pulse...and sighed in relief. Devon was still alive after all. Pterano pulled the blue flyer close until his cheek was directly over the pteranodon's beating heart.

Artie watched the scene between Pterano and Devon. At first, it appeared to her that Devon was dead, but seeing Pterano sigh in relief corrected her. "I'll go get treestars for the wound." She offered, spreading her wings.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 13, 2011, 12:14:30 AM
Fury waited diligently for the echo of his voice to quietly end and afterwards smiled. "Well, that worked out nicely." he said with a light chuckle as he stepped over to Harper and Petrie before asking, "Are you two alright? I know my screams can be.... a little annoying. Especially in a place like this."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 13, 2011, 12:28:57 AM
Both hatchlings had covered their ears tighter, just to be sure, as Fury's echoes continued bouncing about the cavern. Harper shook her head, but smiled as Fury landed nearby and she removed her wings. "I won't say it wasn't loud than anything I'ver ever heard, but yeah, I'm good". She glanced to Petrie for his verdict.

The other hatchling blinked, but otherwise did seem fine as well, "Yeah, and me sure glad you on our side" Petrie gave a small smile, "Let go see if others know it you who save us all" he went on, turning towards the cavern entrance.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on August 13, 2011, 05:22:04 PM
Jared took off... he wanted to go help Artie get tree stars to help heal Devon.

"Hey Artie! Wait for me! Let me come with you and help you get treestars. :) "     said the tan rhamphorhynchus, as he caught up with Artie.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 13, 2011, 05:36:09 PM
Artie stopped in mid air when she saw Jared coming after her, offering to help. "Alright, boy, if you wanna help, fallow me." she told him, flying downwards.

Pterano continued to sit there in the cave, continuing to hold his son close to his chest. "Oh, please hang in there, Devon..." he drifted off. How Devon was still even breathing was beyond Pterano, but he didn't care. He was just happy that his son was still alive.

The blue flyer opened his eyes about half way and stared up at his worried father. "Mmm...Dad?"

Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 13, 2011, 05:55:41 PM
Fury gave a small blush as he coughed and replied, "Now Petrie. It wasn't just me. Everyone helped out to fight off Redclaw and his goons. Besides..." he paused for a moment before coughing again. "I still don't feel at my best." he said with a sigh as he stepped back through the hole from the side cavern into the main outlet of the cave.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 13, 2011, 10:47:04 PM
"Well" Harper began as they climbed their way back out from the cavern, "then maybe you should...". She paused as she caught sight of Pterano over at the other end of the cavern cradling Devon. Apparently there had been casualties.

"What...what happen?" Petrie rushed over.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 13, 2011, 11:31:15 PM
Devon lifted his head a little. "I-I can't remember-" he was cut off by Pterano placing a hand on his beak.

"Shh...don't speak. You're in too much pain to do that." The red flyer told him gently, pulling his head back on his chest. "Let me handle this." He turned to his nephew. "He was clawed in the chest by one of those stupid fast biters." he sighed. "I could've stopped them..."

Devon gazed up at him. "Dad, don't be so hard on yourself. You did your best."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 15, 2011, 10:03:54 AM
Fury stepped over to Devon and Pterano with a frown. "A-are you... going to be alright Devon?" he asked quietly. He shed a single tear as he spoke again. "It should have been me to take the claw swipe... but I know with my sickness, I certainly would not have survived. But that's why you will... you are stronger and far more willful than I could hope to be." The young glider then stepped back his breathing dissolving into a fit of hacking coughs as his head swam, forcing him to lean against the wall and try to stay standing.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 15, 2011, 10:57:17 AM
Harper moved closer now too, partly because she wasn't sure if Fury would stay standing, he looked....shaky. "S-should we go get him something..." she wondered with a frown, turning her worried glance over to Devon as well. "And...Fury, are you ok?". She wasn't sure who she felt was in worse straights at the moment.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 15, 2011, 03:13:42 PM
Pterano all of a sudden stared in concern at the young glider. "Sickness? What sickness?" he asked in full worry. Devon stared at the young glider in concern as well. Was it just him, or was everyone getting sick around here. :blink: Finally, he spoke.

"Fury, don't say that about yourself. I'm the one that deserved the hit, not you. You are a good kid, Fury. You are." His worried look turned into a smile of reassurance as he continued speaking. "I'll be fine, I just need rest a few treestars that's all. It's not like that claw swipe pierced my heart or anything like that." Devon finished, letting out a chuckle.

Pterano couldn't help but smile down at his son. He always knew what to say, even in this condition. He was proud of him, but despite what Devon said, he was still worried, like any other parent would be. The red flyer just pulled the boy closer as Devon looked up at him with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine. I promise." With that, the blue flyer wrapped his arms around Pterano's middle, nuzzling his chest while doing so to prove his point.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Artie soared across the sky along with her tan friend, searching desperately for treestars, until she spotted a big tree with loads of them. "Oh! I know where we could get some good treestars! Fallow me!" With that she headed down to the ground for a landing.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on August 16, 2011, 02:48:41 AM
"You do?.. Cool!"  :)  said Jared, smiling happily.

Then, he landed on the ground right along with Artie.

"All right Artie, i'm right behind you. Lead the way!  :) " said the tan rhamphorhynchus, looking at Artie with a big smile as he followed right behind her as they both made their way toward the big tree.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 16, 2011, 02:58:59 AM
Fury couldn't help but grin as both Devon and Pterano showed sings of concern over his health. However his smile faded quickly as he began to cough for several moments again before finding enough air in his lungs to speak. "D-don't worry about me. I just stood too long outside in the skywater last night. I will be just..." the glider however never finished his sentence  as his body still leaning against the wall gave into for it's need to rest and his mind was wrapped in the blanket of sleep.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 16, 2011, 03:26:43 AM
The two flyers gasped as both of them broke out of eachother's embrace and rushed to Fury's side. "Rinkus, you watch over Devon and Fury...as well as these two," Pterano started, referring to Petrie and Harper. "I'll go find Jared and Artie? Right? Right." Without another word, Pterano took off to the skies.
________________________________________

Artie landed on a giant tree root, looking up at the tree itself. The tree was ginormous with it's 20 to 30 ft thick trunk and hieght rising up to 200 to 300 feet high. The pteranodon couldn't help but gasp at the sight. So many treestars... And ones perfect for healing wounds as well." Whoa...that is one big tree...Dude, Jared, check this out!"

But before Jared could say anything about the tree, Pterano zoomed right passed them, forgetting to slow down (again :rolleyes: )as he smashed against the tree. "Ooof! I really gotta work on my velocity." the red flyer mumbled shrugging the dizziness off his shoulders as he turned to face Artie and Jared. "Guys, you might want to find more than just treestars. We have a very sick patient at the cave and he needs help PRONTO!!" Pterano exclaimed, breathing heavily.

Rinkus nodded, and grabbed his tail in his typical nervous fashion, turning to look at the children he had now been assigned to watch. "Right... well you're with me for the time being." he said softly. "Hopefully he gets back here soon... not used to watching out for others, after all. Not since that swimmer..." he said, referring of course to Ducky.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Why it always seemed Fury was hanging on by a thread, Harper didn't know, but she hoped help could be found for both him and Devon. Meanwhile she just kept watch on both even if that was suppose to be Rinkus' job.

Petrie frowned a bit at the flyer's words, not sure if he would count the last time Rinkus was with Ducky as "watching", but the flyer was apparently being good now, so for the sake of that, he didn't say what he was thinking. "Well...we try not to wander" he instead tried out for attempting to talk to the flyer on a normal level and help put the past behind.

Despite the shallow breathing, the raging fever, and the odd angle at which his body sat still sleeping against the wall of the cave Fury was rather content as he wandered once more inside his own mind, not entirely sure when he'd wake up this time. He'd had days like this before, but now he was seeing his friends before him and some of them were blurred out, being almost impossible to see at all. I know I should be afraid... but I think... something important is supposed to happen... but I don't know when or why... maybe when I wake up I'll figure it out with my friends... he thought to himself. However, in his weakened state his body cried out feebly "H-h-help.... me..."

Redback opened his eyes as the roaring stopped. It had been such a fierce roar, it had practically knocked him out! He blinked a few times, but the red tinge that enveloped his vision wouldn't go away. The only thing that he could see through the red was the opening of the cave, and the three sharpteeth running away.

Still not finished!

The sharptooth got up and ran straight for the outside. At that same time, Tero was coming back into the cave from his perch outside, and entered just in time to apprehend his friend.

Redback snarled at Tero, as he skidded to a halt. Tero spread his wings wide across the entrance.

"Move it or lose it, Tero!" Redback growled menacingly.

Frowning as Fury mumbled, Haper placed a hand on the glider's forehead, but she wasn't even sure what she was feeling for or how to know if something was "up". She sighed, "Haopefully they get back soon".

Jared was startled a little by Pterano's arrival.

"Whoa! We DO, Pterano? Artie and I were just about to gather treestars to help heal Devon.

But please tell us... Who's sick? and what can we bring for them as well as the treestars for Devon? Artie and I will do whatever we can to help Devon as well as whoever's sick... right Artie?" said Jared, turning to the female pteranodon.

"It's Fury, he's sick, but I don't know what with. Oh, I hope he didn't catch my disease..." Pterano drifted off, placing a hand over his heart. "Quickly! I don't know what kind of plant that Joe gave me, but I do know where we can find those. Bring the treestars you have and follow me!" Pterano took off into the air, but not leaving the two behind.

"Well, you heard the flyer! Let's go!" Artie told Jared, taking off into the air next to Pterano.

--------------------------------------

Devon coughed, laying against the wall, as an awkward silence closed inbetween them. "So...Rinkus...how long have YOU known Pterano?" he asked the pink flyer.

Post by: Jrd89 on August 21, 2011, 03:41:29 AM
Jared took the treestars he picked and took off, flying right behind Artie.

"Don't worry Artie, i'm right behind you!... We'd better hurry! We don't have much time!"

Tero wouldn't budge. He knew that Redback was still under the influence of Redwrath, so he wasn't really thinking straight. Let loose, he could do some damage.

Redback snarled again. He knew it was his friend trying to stop him, but he wouldn't be stopped. "One last chance Tero! I'm going after them and you can't stop me!"

But Tero was adamant. He stood his ground, wings held wide.

"Fine."

In a single, fluid motion, Redback strode towards his friend, grabbed his by the wing, and threw him against the cave side. The entrance clear, he headed down to the Valley floor at top speed, eager to be in the chase again.

Rinkus thought about this. "A few years I suppose. First met him out in the Mysterious Beyond. No idea why I was so taken with the idea of following him... BUT... at the same time, I saw it as convenient too. I was nothing but an outcast before that... so perhaps I could use him to elevate my own position, yes? That's what I thought at least. Almost worked too... 'cept he wasn't as er... guess I should stop talking about this topic now." he said, realizing he would probably end up just saying negative things about Pterano. "Well either way, didn't quite work out." the pink flyer said, rolling his eyes.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 21, 2011, 01:26:58 PM
"Oh...that's cool." Devon sighed. "So...how about you and Jared? You too seem to be really close. I'm just wondering, how have you two met?"

-------------------------------------

The three flyers soared through the air. "Come on, guys. We're almost there." Pterano shouted, flying faster. They ended up landing in a grassy plain full of flowers. "Ah...here we are. Now all we have to do is search for the ones with the yellow flower petals with pink spots. Start looking! We don't have much time!" the red flyer ordered, immediately beginning his search afterwards.

Fury felt something inside himself change. He couldn't tell if it was good or bad, but something had definitely changed. The young glider's heart was racing faster and faster, his breathing was faster and deeper than normal, almost as if it hurt. He forced open his eyes, and the world he saw appeared to be as if he were underwater. He couldn't speak... his mind was too overwhelmed by the changes happening and all he could really do was sit agains the wall and quiver in fear and distress. He knew the others that had left were close to returning, but he didn't know if this new feeling was him dying or something else.

Post by: Allicloud on August 23, 2011, 04:38:45 AM
Tero rubbed his head, groaning slightly as he got back up. Redback had thrown him pretty hard. As he got up he felt a sharp pain on his shoulder and saw that he was bleeding slightly. Gritting his beak he watched as Redback hurried through the Valley, seeking out those three sharpteeth.

Desperately, he looked around the cave and the area, to see if anyone was around. He'd need some help if he was gonna stop his friend.

Luke landed at the cave entrance, looking defeated. "Roger and I were trying to find another cure for Pterano. No luck. I think Roger's still looking around." He looked up and noticed that Pterano wasn't there, and that Tero was looking scruffier than usual. His expression changed to one of confusion. "Hey, what happened to you? Where's Pterano?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 23, 2011, 10:39:51 AM
"Oh, Jared? Well I mostly know him because he met up with me first... before I rejoined Pterano. He showed up at my cave one night an absolute wreck... was raining really hard to complement that too. I decided to take him in... he had no family after all... and we ran into Pterano shortly after that." the pink flyer explained.

He looked over at Tero, who seemed distraught after having been thrown against the wall. "Oh dear... you need some help?" he asked, pushing himself up and walking over in that manner of his, with his arms hanging down and his wings bent.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 23, 2011, 11:07:17 AM
"Just hang in there, Fury" Harper said as he opened his eyes. She couldn't tell if the gilder could see her or not, he was gazing off. "They should be back soon".

Hearing a commotion, she turned and noticed Tero seemed to have injured himself, or someone else did. Her compassion had recently been pulled towards both "flyers" and she looked from Fury to Tero, not sure who to check on or keep by. She was helpless either way anyway.

"Are we gonna need more leaves?" it was the only thing she could think to ask. Petrie frowned worriedly at all this injury going around. What if something happened to them next?
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 23, 2011, 05:33:49 PM
Tero beckoned with a claw, grimacing as pain shot through his shoulder with each movement. Walking over to the cave entrance, he gestured out in the direction Redback had run off, pointing frantically.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on August 23, 2011, 06:07:08 PM
Luke looked in the direction of Tero's gestures. Squinting his eyes, he could make out Redback sprinting off into the distance. "Oh, this can't be good... should we be trying to stop him?" Glancing back into the cave, he could see the leaf beds were scattered, and that the only ones still in the cave were Fury, Petrie and Harper. It seemed he and Roger had missed something important.

Luke sighed. "I hope I don't get bitten or stepped on. I hate it when that happens." He stepped out and called up, "Hey Roger, you want to help see what's wrong with Redback? The more the merrier! And the less chance of me getting hurt..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 23, 2011, 10:48:59 PM
A few second after Luke had called his name Roger came, landing rather gently which is something he didn't usually do. He looked at them with something of a defeated expression, he then looked down at the ground as he spoke. "Don't bother bringing me alone, I'll just fail like I always do"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on August 24, 2011, 05:14:12 PM
"Hey, now," Luke exclaimed. "We haven't known you long enough to know whether that's true or not." His expression softened slightly as he saw Roger really seemed down. "Just because you couldn't find a cure for Pterano doesn't mean you failed. I mean, I don't think any of us knew what to do to help him. I sure didn't." He paused, then lay a hand on Roger's shoulder. "Come on. Let's stop Redback from doing something he'll regret."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 24, 2011, 06:00:42 PM
Roger sighed and lightened up a bit. Looking at Luke he nodded. "Right, maybeI can prove myself this time" he then looked up at the sky. "Cheirus, I hope you're watching" he said to the sky and then stood straight and proud as he always did. "Alright then! A failure lost me me eye but by the Great Beyond it won't make me loose me friends, lets go"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 25, 2011, 04:40:37 AM
Tero was glad that the others had gotten the message. Beckoning the others to follow, he limped to the ledge and was airborne in seconds. His flying was still a little wobbly from the injury to his shoulder, but he gritted through it and headed after Redback.
If he had really come under the RedWrath, they were in trouble. He only knew of one easy way to get him out of it, and it wasn't easy.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 25, 2011, 12:50:47 PM
Roger took off after him. "What exactly are we lookin' for again?" he asked as he looked at the ground for anything strange or note worthy.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 25, 2011, 12:59:26 PM
"We're lookin' for Redback!" Rinkus exclaimed as he too took off after the two flyers. "No argument from me of course but... how exactly do we stop him?" the pink flyer inquired. "Oy! Hey Redback!" he yelled down to the charging dinosaur. "What do you think you're doin'? Where are you going?" he called, knowing it probably wouldn't get much of a response, but figuring he'd try all the same.

Furys' fever was getting worse, on the inside he was absolutly frigid and his body attempted to warm itself by shivering, but that only made his outer body extremely hot and uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and suddenly everything stopped, his world stopped spinning around him, his body stopped aching, his mind stopped thinking, and for several long minutes he actually stopped breathing as well. His body simply lay limp against the wall of the cave not making a sound or moving in anyway, giving off the illusion that he'd given up.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on August 25, 2011, 01:50:49 PM
Luke caught up to Rinkus and flew alongside him. "Doesn't look like he's listening to us..." he muttered. Dropping down, he landed on Redback and clung on. "Hey, Redback, I dunno where you're going but maybe you wanna stop, talk it over? Hello?" He leaned forward and rapped sharply on the sharptooth's head.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 25, 2011, 02:04:20 PM
"I see..." Roger said and then sped up to get ahead of Redback. He then swooped down and landed a little distance in front of the sharptooth. "Whoa there, calm down" he said putting his hands out.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on August 25, 2011, 02:06:01 PM
Rinkus wasn't quite that brave. He shook his head. "They're going to get themselves killed." he commented, and gulped as he felt certain Roger would be run over, and Luke would be thrown off...
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 25, 2011, 02:38:38 PM
Devon sighed. "I know...I'll go take care of it." He tried to get up on his feet but he ended up sitting back down due to the pain in his chest. "Or not..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 25, 2011, 04:56:29 PM
Tero watched in frustrated resignation as the other flyers did their best to try to stop Redback.

But the sharptooth did stop as he felt Luke's claws dig into his shoulder, and the rap on his skull brought him to a halt, just in front of Roger.

With a snarl, Redback tossed his head in an effort to knock off Luke. He swung a fist at the flyer as he growled "RRGH! Gerroff!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 25, 2011, 05:33:36 PM
"Hey, calm down fella we're here to help!" Roger took a step closer. At first he reached out to try and hold Redback's head as the flyer's claws seemed to glow a little but then he pulled his hands back with a nervous look. "We're you'r friends, mate"

In keeping her vigil, Harper noticed Fury shiver and then stop. She moved over to place a wing on the gilder's forehead again and gasped, stepping back. "Petrie; we might have a problem..." she said.

"Yeah" Petrie was now glancing about the cave, "me think we get left alone" he glanced about for any other adult flyer left in the cave now.

"Well, we can take of ourselves" Harper distractedly moved past this, "But...Fury...Uh, well...".

Turning, Petrie noticed that his sister looked very freaked out and perhaps on the verge of tears. "What?" he stepped forward. Harper could only point, still looking distressed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on August 26, 2011, 12:15:51 AM
**Whew! Slow down a little for me with the posts, guys. :) I don't want to fall behind! **

Jared landed back at the cave with Artie and Pterano.

Suddenly, he noticed Fury looking MUCH worse than he was before Jared had left with Artie.

The tan rhamphorhynchus went wide-eyed, :blink: and ran up to Fury.

"OH NOOO! FURY! FURY!" Then, he turned to Artie and Pterano and called over to them.

"Hey Pterano, Artie! You guys need to come over here! Fury's fever is much worse than before! We've gotta save him before it's too late!" said Jared, looking very worried.

Jared knew that if they didn't do something soon, Fury would be a goner for sure!  :blink:
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on August 26, 2011, 07:36:10 AM
Luke yelled, clinging on for dear life as Redback's fists whistled over his head. He wanted nothing more than to get off, but with Redback flailing around he dared not even move an inch. "C'mon, calm down! For me?!" He raised his head a little - and was instantly batted in the side of the face. He cartwheeled through the air and landed on his rear. "Ow," he said simply, looking dazed.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 26, 2011, 12:31:46 PM
Pterano's eyes went as wide as treestars when he heard that Fury's fever is getting worse as he and Artie landed in the cave enterance. He passed the treestars to Artie. "Quickly, you go aid Devon, and I'll take care of Fury. Cool?"

"Of course, Pterano," she moved to Devon, who groaned in pain as he felt her lift him up by the back. "Now, hold still, Devon." She told him as she placed the treestars on his chest.

Pterano rushed to Fury's side, taking the young glider in his arms and held the plant in front of him. "Here, eat this. It might not be the best tasting, but it should help with the sickness."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 26, 2011, 10:31:50 PM
The moment Pterano picked Fury up, a fire was lit in his hear, and this feeling spread through the gliders body. As the leaf was dangled in front of Furys' face, the glider opened his eyes, and his sight was clear, his hearing was sharper than before, and as he opened his beak, the child took a deep, gasping breath of air, and began to cough as he struggled to breath and talk. "I... I'm..... a-alive... a-awake and alive..." before breaking down into another fit of coughing.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 27, 2011, 01:16:30 AM
Harper breathed a huge sigh of relief as the others came back to help with the situation. She only hoped they would be able to. Frowning, she stepped forward as she caught Fury's words. "O-of course you are, Fury" she said, "a-and you should be just fine now". It was really over-optimistic of a statement.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Allicloud on August 27, 2011, 03:54:33 PM
Try as the others might, Redback would not be contained. He threw Roger and Luke off every time they tried to grab him or land on him.

But the distraction was all Tero needed. He had needed to do this before several times, but always needed someone to help him. Diving down at his friend, he held his fist out in front of him and zoomed straight into the back of Redback's skull, right in the soft spot.
The punch to his head froze Redback for a moment, before he collapsed to the ground. Out like a candle.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on August 27, 2011, 07:07:16 PM
Staring at both the unconcious Redback and Tero standing over him, Luke frowned. "Would it have killed you to do that sooner?" he asked incredulously, nursing the right side of his face where he now sported a nasty black eye. "Well, at least you got the job done..." Picking himself up, he walked over and joined Tero at Redback's side. He prodded the sharptooth with his foot. "Does anyone know what got into him?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on August 27, 2011, 07:47:29 PM
"What sort of spell was that?" Roger asked as he walked closer, rubbing his beak. He went wide eyed for a second before quickly correcting himself. "Move I meant, what sort of move was that?" he chuckled nervously before stopping, looking more serious again as he looked to Tero.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on August 27, 2011, 09:03:31 PM
Jared turned to Harper, gave a small smile. and helped her keep calm.

"Awwh, it's ok, Harper. Fury's going to be all right. Those treestars your uncle gave to him will help him feel better."

said Jared, nodding to Pterano as he comforted Harper.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 28, 2011, 09:56:40 AM
After taking a moment to get his breathing under control, Fury glanced at the plant Pterano held in front of him and with a quickness that surprised even himself, and snatched the plant out of Pterano's hands and chewed on it vigorously not caring about the taste at all. As he finished the plant he glanced around talking a momentary roll call in his mind. His eyes then settled on Pterano as he asked his voice still coarse "D-do you... have any more?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on August 28, 2011, 11:39:55 PM
Harper smiled up at Jared as he tried to comfort her, "Oh, yeah...I know" she sighed. It was still hard, everything being so touch and go.

"Yeah Harper, no worry, Uncle Pterano know what he doing" Petrie added with a smile of confidence. One that grew as he saw Fury come around.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on August 29, 2011, 11:20:31 AM
Pterano smiled as he heard Petrie's confidence in him as he stared down at the little glider in his arms. "Yes Fury, but not now. For one your size, it is best that you eat one plant a day. I know it's not the fastest treatment, but its better than eating too much of these plants where you'll end up getting worse." Pterano dared not to go "there" as he knew, you eat too much of these plants, you'll be as dead as dust in a matter of days. He laid Fury down, hovering over him. "Now, just get some rest, okay?" He even gave the young glider a kiss to the forehead as it was like a goodnight kiss, except it was daytime.

(DAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!! Pterano really knows how to be fatherly, now doesn't he? :wub  :wub Guess who he has to thank for that.  :p )

Tero landed by the prone form of Redback, He had missed the spot slightly, and bashed his fist on part of Redbac's skull. Shaking his smarting hand, he knelt down by his friend's head and poked Redback in the snout a few times.

The sharptooth stirred and groaned slightly. His snout twitched and one of his arms batted Tero's arm out of the way.

"Well, well. Rise and shine, Redback," Luke said as he saw the larger dinosaur stirring. Keeping his distance while still rubbing his eye, he continued; ""Are you gonna keep pounding us to pieces, or have you calmed down enough to tell us what's the matter?"

Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on August 31, 2011, 01:09:02 AM
Fury for the first time in his young life felt no fear, no shame, or cowardice at being coddled. As he looked up to the older flyer and listened to his words, the younger glider began to grin and then turned into a full fledged smile as he felt Pterano place him back on the ground, and still all he felt was joy, and acceptance. He yawned a moment later not realizing how tired he still was. However it was the gently fatherly kiss on his head that brought his joy and bliss to the forefront of his mind as he slowly with that still bright, ear to ear smile across his beak drifted back into a joyful sleep. Just before he gave over to his bodies' demand for sleep however, Fury managed to speak. "Thank you. You've reminded me.... that a family doesn't need to be... related to care."

Tero put his hands under the massive form of Redack and helpd the sharptooth sit up straight.

Redback shook his head and looked about for a moment, very confused.

"Hmph...huh? How'd I get out here? Last thing I remember I was watchin those sharptooth legging it... Was I sleepwalking again?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

"Sharpteeth?" Luke edged closer to the others and tried to glance around casually. "I don't know anything about them. When me and Roger got back, everyone was gone and you were running off into the Mysterious Beyond. We stopped you... eventually." He crossed his arms.  "Sleepwalking? You nearly killed us when we caught up to you."

Roger chuckled "Sleep fighting, sleep running even. Ya friend there gave you quite the whack in the head to....wake you up" he with a nod before looking at Redback seriously. "Just what is wrong with you, mate?"

Pterano chuckled as the little guy fell asleep in his arms. "Go to sleep, little one. You need your rest." He placed him down, laying beside Fury because he was tired too. He laid his head over Fury's, protecting him from the cold. (Yep, Pterano's a real sweetheart once you get to know him) He was about to fall asleep himself but a ramble went through the ground, causing Pterano to jump. "Huh? What's going on?" he asked, still cradling the young glider.

Jared felt the violent rumbling below his feet "Whoaaahoooaahhh!!! PTERANO! It's...it's an... EARTHSHAKE!! WHOAAAHOOOAAAHHHHH!" yelled the tan rhamphorhynchus, feeling very worried and scared as the ground continued to rumble heavily.

Just as she was starting to feel everything was going back to being better, Harper felt the ground shake a bit and backed up nearer Petrie as her brother looked even more shocked and worried over it and they both backed nearer where Pterano and Fury were.

Trulyfantasticme came up with Zaine. He's an old pteranodon who's Pterano's father, and he's far more evil than what Sierra could ever be in his life!

So (If it's ok with you guys) Let's let Zaine into the story. We just need a villain to make the story more interesting, and Zaine will be perfect for that.  ;) *************

Redback sighed. There was no hiding it now. "Well, y'see, I have this little...condition that...makes me like this."

But as he made to get up and continue, he stumbled as he felt the ground shake beneath his feet.

"Aw heck, now?! Really?" He muttered as he held himself low to the ground.

"Urgh, I hate these," Luke complained as he felt the ground violently tremble beneath him. "They always make me feel queasy..." He shook a finger at Redback. "We'll talk about your condition later. I don't want to end up on the wrong side of it."

As he spoke, he noticed the earthquake seemed to be getting more violent. "We should be careful of the trees... they don't sound so steady..." he warned, as the sound of the trees creaking filled the air.

As the earth began to shake Roger looked as though he didn't even realize. He just stood there, swaying with the moving ground and a hand on his beak. "We'll talk about it later mate, seems like ye' old grounds getting restless" he chuckled and nodded to Luke. "Good point aye"

(Okay time to resurrect this baby)

The ground shook a little more violently, causing a few stalicites to fall on the ground. "Uhh Dad?" Devon called, a little worried. Let's say about a second later, the shaking stopped, leaving the dinosaurs in confusion.

"...that's it?" Artie muttered, stepping towards Devon to make sure he's okay. Pterano did the same for Fury as he brought the little guy back into his arms.

"Are you okay, little one?" he asked, but the the ground shook as hard as ever, causing the flyers to stumble. A crack formed on the dirty ground, getting larger and larger as it began to split the earth in two.

Petrie and Harper both flapped up as the split formed, avoiding it. This was starting to look really bad, like it had back during that Great Earthshake. Harper pushed aside thoughts of that time.

"I...I hope the others are ok" she said, partly to herself.

*Yeah, Zaine does sound interesting, and it'll be interesting to see if Harper will be able to see through him, so to speak. Is he going to be playing nice around everyone but Pterano?*

Jared jumped in the air as the earth split.

"AHHHHHHHH!! Pterano!!! Artie!!! everyone! We've gotta get to a safe place now! I don't want to fall in!!" screamed Jared. The tan rhamphorhynchus was VERY scared as the ground continued to split apart!

The creaking sound was replaced by a louder, grinding noise. Darting his head around to see where it came from, Luke jumped in shock as the ground in front of him cracked open. The trees next to the split line were ripped free from their roots and swallowed by the dark, cavernous mouth opening up.

"We need to get out of here!" Luke yelled as he flapped and landed on Redback, urging the ground - bidden dinosaur onwards.

Fury grumbled as he still felt the earth shaking below his feet. Yet despite all of this going on the poor flyer simply closed his eyes and drifted back off to sleep feeling safe and content in Pterano's arms. "J-just let me... sleep." he mumbled aloud as he curled up to Pterano while still feeling the ground shaking.

Roger jumped up and began to flap his wings, looking at the crack in the earth with an odd expression. "Very interesting..." he said to himself as his one good eyes scanned the ground.

Jared began to really worry.  :unsure:

"I hope Rinkus, Roger, and the others are ok."

Then, tears started running down the tan rhamphorhynchus's beak. Then, Jared started trembling all over as he thought of his father...

"I hope... I.. *sniff!* hope m-my dad's all right!  :cry Ohhh! I wish Rinkus was here with me right now. And... and Roger too... He looked like such a fun longtailed flyer... and... I.. I wanted to learn from him how he can sleep hanging upside down!"

Then, Jared's mind went back to Rinkus...

"B-b-but... OHHH!!! ... Rinkus!  He's my DAD! *sniff!*  :cry   I hope he didn't get hurt or fall in the crack!!.... AWWH!! DAAAAD!!"

Cried Jared as he continued sobbing his eyes out about Rinkus, very worried if his pink father was ok or not.  :cry

Pterano looked shocked at the little glider in his arms. Surprisingly enough, the earth was splitting in two and Fury was just sinking into him and sleeping? Just then, a stallicite cracked and began falling down from the cieling right above Pterano, who just moved out of the way just in time. As if on cue, the shaking stopped and the ground was now two cliffs. The opening of the cave wasn't there anymore. Just a big pile of rocks and dirt that looked futile to clear.

Pterano sighed, still holding the young one in his arms. "Is...everyone alright?"

Artie sat up and shook her beak. "Ohhh my head. Yeeeah I'm alright. How about  you, Devon?" She recieved no answer whatsoever. She looked in his direction, only to see a couple of rocks. "Devon?"

(Yay!! Time to put in some suspence!)

"I'm all right Pterano... but.. now you're cave's ruined....and worse yet.. WE'RE TRAPPED!!  :cry  Now I don't know WHAT WE'LL DO!!. :cry " Jared told the red flyer in a sad and scared voice... then HE got very worried about Devon..

"But first, before we do anything else.. we need to find Devon!  :blink: HE must be buried beneath the ROCKS!!!  AHHH!  WE'VE GOTTA SAVE HIM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!" said Jared in a very panicky voice...

Jared tried moving some of the big rocks out of the way, and called out for Devon...

"*Uuuuughhh* *mmmmmmffff* DEVON???? DEVON??? *urrrrrrgh* DEVON!! Can you hear me??? It's Jared! Do you remember me? *mmmmmfff* I'm that tan longtailed flyer with the blue eyes..  **oooof** DEVON! are you alive??" :blink:  :unsure: Devon!! where are you? c-can y-you hear me?"

shouted Jared to the blue cearadactylus as he continued moving rocks out of the way, hoping Devon could hear him.

Fury gave a short but annoyed screech at the sky as he rolled out of Pterano's embrace and landed on his feet. He stood up and without opening his eyes commented. "I am just never going to get to sleep am I?!" The young glider then opened his eyes and upon having to readjust them for the new source of light around him he blinked in rapid succession and then after realizing something was wrong he asked rather nervously, "Woah... did I miss something important? The last time I looked, we were in a cave.... What in the Mysterious Beyond is going on around here?!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on October 03, 2011, 06:46:07 PM
"Yeah, we're fine" Harper said as she glanced back to her brother. Petrie looked freaked out, but generally ok. Yet then they both frowned as Devon couldn't be spotted and the worst was feared.

"Oh, me hope he ok..." Petrie said as they watched Jared dig and were too small to move most of the rocks themselves.

Harper turned at Fury's question, " There...there's been back to back earthshakes, and one of them, destroyed the cave" she answered, "but...we're not sure where Devon is".
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on October 03, 2011, 07:01:56 PM
Pterano snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Petrie and Harper. "Wait...WHAT???" He freaked out, immediately taking off to the other side of the split and landed next to Jared. "Devon? Devon? Can you hear me?" But there was no answer. Either the rock wall was soundproof or...No. No he couldn't think like that. Devon was on the other side of this cave. He knew it...he hoped it was so. He knelt down and helped Jared with the moving rocks. But there were too many of them...and 99 percent of them were too heavy for any flyer to move. He sighed, leaning against the rock out of breath. "Ohhh please be okay, Devon."

Artie sighed, trying to calm herself down. If there was one thing she feared most, it was being trapped in a small place, especially if it was with other dinosaurs, even if they were the dinosaurs she knew. She then turned to her side, expecting to see Joe...but he wasn't there either. "Joe?"

Just then, a mumbling was heard and she immediately rushed towards the voice. To her surpise, she saw a certain spiketail laying there, covered in rocks. "Joe!" She gasped, rushing to his side, removing the rocks. Luckily the rocks weren't too heavy or she'd be out of luck. "Joe! Are you okay?"

He groaned in response, opening an eye to face her. "Artie...is that you?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: The Great Valley Guardian on October 05, 2011, 08:36:10 AM
Fury looked around and noticed two things immediately. That two of their members were trapped underneath several large rocks and after a few moments of fearful indecision the young glider had made up his mind, and set off to try and help Artie clear the rocks from around Joes body. He felt bad that he had slept through most of the danger and wanted nothing more than to make sure everyone was alright. "J-just stay awake. Please... can you do that for us?" he asked gently as he pulled more rocks away from Joe.

Flying up to join Roger in the air, Luke followed his gaze as the crack stretched on into the distance. "Sure, if by interesting you mean terrifying..." he panted. "We should regroup with the others back at the cave. It should be a safer place to wait this out."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on October 09, 2011, 12:56:34 PM
Roger just nodded, still looking at the crack. "Yer right, mate. Make sure they're alright" he said before flying off in the direction of the cave. When he got there he saw that the cave entrance was blocked by rocks. "Oh no..." he landed next to them and got up close. "Anyone in there?! 'Ello! Speak up!" he shouted and then laid the side of his head against the rock wall to try an listen for any noises.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on October 10, 2011, 02:22:33 AM
Jared recognized that voice anywhere! It was Roger! Jared ran up to the wall of rocks blocking the cave entrance and yelled back.

"ROGER!!...ROGER!!...I HEAR YOU!!! It's me, Jared, the tan longtail, Rinkus's son!!!! I CAN HEAR YOU!! I'M TRAPPED inside with Pterano, Devon, Artie, Fury, Joe and the others! WE'RE ALL OK EXCEPT FOR DEVON... HE'S TRAPPED IN THE PILE OF ROCKS, AND WE CAN'T GET HIM OUT!! The rocks are TOO heavy for us to lift!!  :blink:

We're ALL stuck in here, Roger! A HUGE pile of rocks have blocked the entrance!! We need help getting out, or we're ALL GONNA DIE IN HERE!!!"

"PLEASE ROGER, WE NEED YOUR HELP!! YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!!!" asked Jared in a very loud, scared and panicked voice....as a few tears rolled down his beak as he though of his father Rinkus and that if Roger couldn't help them get out of the cave, Jared would NEVER see him, Luke, OR Rinkus again!   :cry  :cry

"ROGER? I FORGOT TO ASK YOU... ARE MY DAD AND LUKE WITH YOU? MAYBE THEY CAN HELP, TOO!" shouted the tan rhamphorhynchus loudly, making sure that Roger heard every word he said.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on October 10, 2011, 03:55:18 AM
"We're all here, Jared!" Luke called through the blockage. "Out of all the places there could've been a rock slide, it's just our luck it had to be here, huh? Keep trying to help Devon - we'll clear these rocks in no time!" He lowered his voice. "I hope."

Wrapping his hands around one of the rocks, he heaved and tried to pull it down. It wouldn't shift. After a few moments he gave up, leaning over with his hands on his knees, gasping with exhaustion. "Those are... really... heavy..." he panted. "I don't know... if we can do this by hand..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on October 10, 2011, 04:46:33 AM
"We're alright! I'll find a way to 'ave you out!" Roger called back and then looked at the boulders. Clearly they were too heavy to lift. "Oh dear...only one way out of this" Roger said rubbing his hands together. "Say Luke, do you believe in magic?"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on October 10, 2011, 09:52:58 AM
"Magic? As in, abra kadabra?" Luke cocked an eye at Roger. "Can't say it's ever worked for me." He folded his wings skeptically. "What did you have in mind? Are you gonna turn the boulders into flowers?" he snickered provocatively.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on October 10, 2011, 06:57:37 PM
Devon groaned, opening his light blue eyes. "Uggghhhh my head..." he managed to mutter out, sitting up against the rocks. "What happened?" It only took him a second to figure that out. "Oh...son of a tarpit." He stood up on his feet, despite the pain it sent to his chest. He took a few steps back, not even noticing that he was stepping towards the edge. Luckily for him, he was able to catch himself before he fell, letting out a "HOLY SHOOT!!!!"

He then noticed the rocks...the big pile of rocks all surrounding him, he gasped at the sight. "Oh no..." He rushed to the rocks, removing as many rocks as he could. "DAD!!! DAD!!!! GUYS!?!?!? ARE YOU IN THERE??" He shouted at the top of his lungs, having no idea that Roger and Luke were on the other side of the rock pile, doing the same thing he was.

****

Pterano preached his head up as he could have swarn he heard his son's voice. "Devon?"

Artie and Joe listened to the worry in Fury's voice. "Ehhh I'm not sure if I can do that, kid. I'm pretty tired." Joe told the young glider, yawning.

Artie would not let that happen. "No, you stay with us, Joe. You hear? We're gonna get out of here, and we're gonna get help. Just hang on!" She said, removing the last two rocks off of the spiketail. "Just hang on..."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on October 11, 2011, 10:50:43 PM
"Not exactly" Roger said and then sighed before muttering something with the words 'forgive me' in them. He then began to look around at the rocks on the bottom of the pile before stopping at one. "Yes, perfect" he then placed his hands on them, humming lightly as his claws gave a faint blue glow for s second.

"You might want to stand back" he told Luke before letting go of the rock, panting as if he'd been doing something physically demanding. He then tapped the rock and stood back as it seemed to crack, more and more. Soon the rock had crumbled and just that one missing rock was enough to make the wall on the outside tumble down in a Jenga Block effect.

Now they could see Luke, but they could also see the SECOND wall that blocked him from Pterano and the others. "...oh cripes" Roger muttered seeing another wall in the way.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on October 11, 2011, 11:45:08 PM
After Jared heard the loud tumbling of the rocks.. he shouted out to Roger to find out what just happened.

"HEY ROGER!! IT'S JARED AGAIN! WHAT JUST HAPPENED OUT THERE? Did you get some of the rocks moved out of the way?."  Jared asked in a loud and scared voice, as he nervously played with his tail. The tan rhamphorhynchus was VERY worried and scared that he may be stuck in the cave with Pterano and the others forever!  :blink:

"Roger, PLEASE don't give up! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! YOU'RE A VERY SMART LONGTAIL... YOU CAN DO THIS!.. I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!"  :)  shouted Jared with encouragement from inside the cave with a small smile on his beak.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on October 12, 2011, 02:24:04 PM
Luke's superior laugh caught in his throat as he saw Roger's hand glow blue. He continued to watch, mouth hanging open, as the rocks then crumbled under the flyer's touch.

"What was.. this is... how did you do that?!" Luke spluttered. He started to continue, but then he heard Jared's voice echoing from the other side of the boulder pile. "Never mind - whatever you did, do it again! I think we're almost through."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on October 12, 2011, 05:51:16 PM
Usually words like the ones he heard from Jared would have cheered Roger up, but in this situation it seemed to do the opposite as the brown flyer just sighed and looked down at his hands. He didn't even have enough energy to shout loud enough for Jared and the other trapped to hear him. "I don't know if I can do this, kid" he said to Luke. "I'm not the flyer I used to by, looks like I let you all down again" he said slowly shaking his head, then slowly looking up to Devon trying to move the rocks out of the way. "I'm sorry"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on October 12, 2011, 06:45:32 PM
Devon heard Roger's comment, but he couldn't bring himself to give the attention because he was so busy removing the rocks. "DAD!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME????"

Pterano's confused face turned into a smile. "Devon? DEVON!!! I HEAR YOU, SON!!!!!"

Devon let out a sigh of relief. "DON'T WORRY DAD!!! WE'LL GET YOU OUT!!! I'LL GO GET HELP!!!!!" With that, Devon took off into the air to find some land creature of some sort. Little did he know...he was in for a surprise.

"Be careful, son..." Pterano drifted off, before sitting down on his tail against the rocks. "I'm not as young as I used to be," he muttered sadly.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on October 13, 2011, 10:13:09 PM
Petrie hoped over to where Pterano sat as Devon went off to find help and the others outside tried to help. That seemed all that could be done for the moment. "Aw, you not old, uncle" he said, "and we make it out".

Harper didn't want to shoot down her brother's try at encouragement, but somehow she wasn't as sure as he was and frowned up at the huge wall in front of them. She heard a slight noise like crumbling rock from the other side and listened. "I...I think they're breaking through!"
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on October 22, 2011, 02:14:01 AM
Jared shouted for Devon and Roger.. "ROGER? DEVON? ARE YOU THERE?"  shouted Jared to both of the flyers that were outside the rock wall.

"PLEASE guys! I DON'T want to die in here along with the others.. but that won't happen if you guys can get us all out of here!!  :)  I have faith in both of you! I KNOW you guys can think of a way to get us out of the cave! Don't give up, guys! You can do it. You both are VERY smart flyers!"

Added Jared with lots of encouragement in his voice. The tan rhamphorhynchus had faith in both Devon and Roger. He thought they were both wonderful and smart flyers and knew that they could figure out a way to get him, Pterano, Artie, Fury and the others out of the cave.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on October 22, 2011, 09:54:45 PM
Before Devon could hear any of Jared's comments, he flew out of there. But he did manage to hear the words, "I have faith in the both of you!" which had him smiling. So he soared over the land, scanning the trees to find any sign of creature there is. Luckily he didn't have to wait very long, for he spotted a brown crested flyer perched on the treetops. He soared down away from the altitude to get to this brown flyer.

He landed on the ground, behind a tree. Right up above him he saw the brown flyer, up on the tree branch staring back down at him. He jumped out of his spot and turned himself around so he could face the flyer. "Hehe, hi there!" he sputtered out nervously.

The strange flyer landed next to Devon so he could get a better look at him. He stood at least a good one and a half feet above him. He was huge too! He had the biggest muscles Devon would ever see. And Devon could tell for a fact that this flyer was in Pterano's species and the strange thing is, he noticed a resemblence between this flyer and Pterano.

"So you need help removing those rocks, huh?" he told the blue flyer cooly in a raspy voice.

"How'd you know?" Devon asked, eyes going wide.

"Well first of all, I saw it happen. I'm a flyer too, you know. And second of all, I saw you searching for help," the flyer replied.

"Oh." Devon chuckled nervously.

"And you came to the right place, my good man! I didn't work out for these muscles for nothing!" He flexed his muscles. "I may be old, but I have the energy of someone your age! I can fix anything! Just lead me there and I'll do my thing."

Devon chuckled. "Okay then! The cave is just above these trees."

"But first of all, let's introduce ourselves shall we? I'm Zaine. What's your name, son?"

"The names Devon."

"Devon..." he gasped. "Oh yes! Devoooon. I think I met up with your father once."

"You did? You mean Sierra?"

"If you mean that brown flyer with a Texan accent then yes." Zaine stroked his beak. "Huh, you look like him, but you don't sound like him."

"What do you mean?"

"You just don't have the same accent."

"Oh." Devon chuckled again. "Hehe, you can thank Pterano for that. He's the one who adopted me."

Zaine preached his head up. Just the name "Pterano" had his head spinning. He smirked evilly and turned to Devon. "That's nice. Now lets get goin shall we? I'm sure your Pterano wouldn't wanna be stuck in that cave forever, ya know."

"Hehe, yeah." With that, the two flyers took off into the air. Little did Devon know, he was in for a mess.

(Whew! I thought I'd NEVER get this post done! :p  :lol I was wrong before. I think THIS is my longest rp post ever!)

Roger took a deep breath and then walked over to the wall of rocks, even his walk seemed to show how tired he was. He placed his claws on a stone and they began to glow once more. Unlike last time though, the stone didn't shatter, all it did was crack, it was clear that he'd either need quite some time or some strong help to get through this wall.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on October 29, 2011, 03:01:16 AM
Jared though to himself, and told the other flyers who were trapped with him:

"Ohhhhh, I hope Roger can find some way to get through the rocks. And if he can't, well, then maybe he'll find someone who can help him out. I know Roger will find some way to get us out guys, I have faith in him. He's our friend and I know he won't give up." said Jared, smiling with confidence, but totally unaware that at the same moment, Devon was on his way back to the cave with Zaine.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: bushwacked on November 05, 2011, 06:00:13 AM
Luke watched as Roger gripped a rock and concentrated. When it just cracked, Luke sighed. "I guess we just have to wait for you to recharge. If that's how you, uh... work." Putting the side of his head against the rock wall, he thought he could just about hear talking and movement on the other side. "This one doesn't seem as thick as the last one. It shouldn't be as hard to break through."

Luke looked up and nodded. "I think I see Devon coming back."
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: trulyfantasticme on November 05, 2011, 05:19:25 PM
Devon landed on the cave enterance with Zaine close behind him. "Guys! We've got company!" Devon said.

"Stand back." Zaine warned, Devon being the first to take a few steps back. "This is gonna be messy!" With that, he rammed himself full speed into the wall, creating a few boulders to roll over. He rammed again and again and pretty soon there was a hole. "Don't worry guys, I'll get you out!" Zaine said before he took off into the air, and lunged full speed towards the rocks, causing them to slide over to make a big enough hole for everyone to get out.

Pterano was the first to zoom out of there and he flew to embrace the blue flyer. "Oh Devon...oh thank goodness!" he exclaimed, tightening his arms around Devon's shoulders before pulling back, cupping his cheeks. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I believe I should be asking YOU that." Devon teased, smiling up at him with his arms still wrapped around his father's waist, he then turned to everyone in the cave. "Is everyone alright?" he asked.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Jrd89 on November 07, 2011, 04:57:35 AM
Jared quickly answered Devon.

"Yes, Devon. We're all ok!"   :yes

Then, Jared turned to Rinkus, "All right, dad! WOO-HOOOO! !! FINALLY! We're out of that cave! We're going to be all right after all!" Said Jared very happily to the pink rhamphorhynchus as he wrapped him into a great big, warm, hug with a huge smile on his beak.  :D
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Pterano on November 13, 2011, 11:00:56 PM
Rinkus had just landed at the cave entrance after having flown around, unaware that there had been a cave in in the first place. "Oh my." he said as the rocks tumbled away, revealing Jared on the other side. "Well oof!" he exclaimed, as Jared wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"Oh yes! It is good to see you as well! I was wondering what had happened to you, but I'm glad you're alright!" he said with a smile, his cheek mashed against Jared's. "Certainly sounds like you've been through a lot. Come here then." he said, and hugged his son back tightly in a squeeze.

As she and Petrie darted out from the cave in as well, Harper sighed in relief. "Thankyou ever so much Sir" she said with a smile and nod to Zaine, "and you all too" she added to the others like Roger who had also helped.

Harper would have also asked where this stranger came from, unaware he was family she hadn't been told of, and for a reason, but what hindered her from asking was not wanting to be rude.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Redtooth101 on November 14, 2011, 02:24:21 AM
Roger looked at Zaine very carefully, almost as if trying to find out who he was just be looks. He slowly approached the flyer, looking curious as ever.

"Ey, mate. Strong one aren't ya? Say, what be your name?" he had no problem asking the new flyer his name and did so without any hesitation.

Post by: trulyfantasticme on February 03, 2012, 12:41:28 AM
*Alright! Let's continue this bad boy.*  :DD

"Well hello there, old friend." The eight foot pteranodon replied with a proud smirk on his face. "The name's Zaine York, at your service." He bowed to emphasize his point.

Pterano just kept hugging his son, tightly, loving as tears of joy rolled down his cheeks. But then he stopped when he started listening to that voice behind him. It sounded so familiar to him. He turned around, still clinging to Devon.

What he saw was not what he had hoped. That voice was just too familiar to be his imagination. The voice, the red eye, the muscles, everything about this stranger made him feel like he was about to collapse.

He shook his head, telling himself, it can't be him. But he knew that was a lie. He fought to restrain himself from collapsing. But it didn't last long though. As soon as the stranger admitted his name was Zaine York, Pterano collapsed on Devon's shoulder.

Devon gasped, collapsing to his knees due to Pterano's weight. "Uhh Dad?" he spoke, trying to wake the old flyer, but Pterano was too shocked to do so.
Title: Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond
Post by: Mama's Girl on February 03, 2012, 12:38:24 PM
(York, have no idea where you got that from :DD)

"Uncle!" Petrie darted over as well as it seemed Pterano was on the verge of collapse. While stunned as well, Harper couldn't help noticing...it was something about the stranger's name, or seemed to be. Maybe she was just imagining things, but it had almost seemed like as soon as this new flyer said his name it had caused their uncle to act as he did.

Was there something about the name Zaine? She didn't recoqnize it, but did seem to sort of remember now  that once a dinosaur passing through had mentioned the name or one like it and her mother had whispered very lowly and very concerned.

Another possibility, though, was that it could be the illness cropping up again. She hoped that wasn't it, especially as she saw that their uncle had actually seemed to collapse.

Petrie looked very worried as he landed near Devon. "He...he be ok?".

Harper knew what her brother was thinking. "Oh well sure, Petrie" she attempted to be the optimistic voice for all of them, "I'm sure it's...nothing bad again" she flapped over to put a hand on Petrie's shoulder, smiling a bit more than she felt at the moment to try and reassure him as well as Devon.

"Old friend you say. 'Ave we met before?" Roger asked, tapping his beak with a claw as he continued to look curiously at Zaine. His attention though was quickly brought elsewhere when Pterano collapsed, Roger then looked at that Flyer. He didn't know exactly what was wrong, and thus he just watched for now.

Luke looked apprehensively at the large flyer who had just introduced himself. He didn't know who he was but if he made Pterano react in such a way, he couldn't be good news. "You two know each other?" he said. "I take it you weren't play-mates..."

(OOC: I figure I'll give this RP another shot. Been out of it for months, but maybe theres still something salvageable in this yet. :b)

Chomper backed up to the corner of the room when Zaine came in. He didn't know quite what it was, but something just didn't seem right with this flyer. Also, he was a sharptooth, and he had no idea how Zaine would react if he saw him.

He made it behind Petrie and Harper, and whispered to them. "Do you know this flyer?"

Petrie heard Chomper ask his question, but for the moment all of his attention as on watching his uncle, worried for what might be wrong. He turned though, "No, me never see him before".

Harper shook her head as well, "Me either, but..." she didn't know why but as she went on, she whispered even more than she had been, "the name sounds...not familiar exactly, but...like something I might have heard my mom talk about once with a farwalker" she confided in the sharptooth, "I'm just...not sure if that means she knew him or anything".

Jared stood next to Rinkus and looked at Zaine. :unsure:. Then, he grabbed his tail with one hand. Zaine made Jared nervous, but then, he spoke up and introduced himself.

"Umm.. hi, Zaine. M-m-my n-name is Jared." said the tan flyer as he nervously waved "hello" with one of his claws.

"Th-th-thank you for getting us out of there. If it hadn't have been for you, we all would've died trapped in that cave. You saved our lives."

Zaine gave the younger rhamphorhynchus a nudge. "It was my pleasure, young one." he said, smiling. He turned to the unconscious Pterano, and he made his way over.

He knelt by the unconscious flyer and Devon. "What happened?"

"I dunno! He just fainted on me, oh I hope its not his illness creeping up on him again." Devon replied, gripping his father's shoulders.

"Illness you say? What was that?"

"I think it had something to do about the stomach shutting down on him. He almost died because of it." Devon replied, gazing down at Pterano in concern.

"Looks to me like the fella was scared to death or something" Roger sound out loud, even though he had meant to think it to himself. Realizing this he waved his hands in the air afterwards and shook his head. "But that just sounds crazy surrounded by us. What's there to be scared about?"

Luke nudged Roger in the side and jabbed his thumb towards Zaine. "I'd say it has something to do with that big guy over there," he said in a low voice. "Something's not right about him."

"I know..." Roger said turning his attention back to Zaine with a suspicious look. "I feel like I seen him before, and it wasn't anything good" he said quietly, not totally sure if his mind was correct of just playing tricks on him again.

"I hope Pterano recovers, guys... I just hate to see him like this" frowned Jared, as he walked up next to Roger and stared at the poor red pteranodon sadly.  

"What should we do?" asked the tan rhamphorhynchus to Luke, Rinkus, Roger and the other flyers. "Pterano's our friend, and the bravest of us all. He's helped us before....now let's help him, ok?" nodded Jared  :yes

Harper frowned as she heard what Roger suggested as the cause, partly because it made too much sense, it all being Pternao just greeting scared. But again, of what? She didn't know, but kept the facts presented that she heard in the back of her mind for maybe figuring out later.

She didn't have an answer for what they should do, until she remembered something...

Petrie just stuck right by Pterano's side, meanwhile, hoping that his uncle would wake up soon and be ok.

"Uh, Petrie" his sister drew his attention away by speaking to him, "if it is something bad, didn't you say you and Littlefoot found a night flower for Grandpa Longneck that time, and that that helped him when he was sick?"

It had been so long ago, that it took Petrie a moment to recall, but he soon did. How did Harper just suddenly remeber that?! From back when he and his friend's met Ali. He didn't ask, just answered her question. "Uh yeah, that what do it before".

Harper nodded. "Where are they?" she asked.

"Uh...long way and me not sure if me remember..." Petrie admitted.

"Oh" was all Harper said.

"But me could try and rememeber, if it really...that bad" Petrie went on determined. Hopefully it wasn't anything that bad.

((attempting to jump start the role plays, and I don't remember what the other plot with Pterano sick entailed,,so if the night flower side talk thing is just repeating, sorry))

"Pfft! I don't think pretty flowers are going to do anything for him..." Luke scoffed. "He just needs a little encouragement to wake up, that's all," he said as he bent over Pterano's limp form.

Stretching out his hand, he slapped Pterano a couple of times around the side of the beak. To Luke's suprise, Pterano didn't regain consciousness and jump up energetically; his head just flopped to the side.

"Hmn... That usually works..." Luke straightened up. "What were you saying about those flowers, Petrie?"

"That flower can do more than you think, lad." Roger said to Luke with a wag of his finger. He then took one more glance at Pterano before turning his attention to Petrie. "Aye, where be these flowers you speak of?"
