“Were you ok though?” The Swimmer asked curiously
Rain smiled, “Yes, I was fine. I was a bit sore from where I landed, but it was ok. Sadly, I was asleep for a while. The great circle had moved across the sky quite a ways…”
The sky had set into glorious shades of orange, purple, and pink. Rain rested on the ground for a few moments, listening to the sound of her body. She could hear how her breathing scratched her body lightly across the ground. She could feel her heart racing when she recalled what happened during and before the fall. The image was melted into her mind of what happened to her Mother and Father.
“That Sharptooth…” She thought to herself, “It just didn’t stop…”
Rain looked around, realizing she was in a canyon, or big ditch as she knew it as.
“Wow… That was a long fall.” She spoke to herself. She rolled onto her belly and groaned lightly. She had a slight pain in her side but she found it was nothing serious. She cautiously got to her legs, making sure to feel for any major pain. Rain, forgetting what had happened for the moment went to let a call out, her mind jolted realizing her that her siblings were probably unable to hear her. She closed her mouth and let her thoughts roam for a moment.
“Alright… Let’s find a way out instead.” She spoke to herself. She took a few cautious step around, examining the ground and the walls of the big ditch. She noticed scattered across the ground were various bones of different dinosaur species.
“ Oh my…” Rain whispered. She wondered if the bones were from others that died from the fall, or lived then died after. Rain didn’t linger on the thought, not wanted to scare herself any more than she already was.
“Maybe if I just go ahead.”
Rain walked for what felt like miles to her. The pain in her side subsided in turn of a filled mind of worries. She stared at the ground but looked up as she reached the dead end. To her relief there was a cracked out path that was wide enough for her. She smiled lightly, knowing she would be able to get out of her large prison. Taking cautious she began to walk up the path. She stared at the sky then the ground and began to speak to herself.
“Once I’m out of here, I can find my brothers and sisters. We can travel together as a family and find The great Valley. We won’t have to worry about Sharpteeth, or not having any food, or water.”
Rain smiled at the thought.
“We will find friends to play with, and new places to explore and enjoy.”
Rain stopped and looked back, see how high she had come. Rain had been a fast walker when she felt she wanted to.
“I just hope they’re ok.”
High off from the big ditch the siblings had taken shelter for the day. The youngest brother and the oldest sister slept cuddled together to stay warm while the oldest brother sat at the edge of the shelter worrying over Rain.
“Mother would be very sore with me. So would Father.” The oldest brother whispered to himself. He shoke his finger as he mimicked his Father “No extra berries for you now, Don” .
Don chuckled, feeling a little bit of relief from his comedy. He looked back at the siblings. Mimi, a pale green tinted yellow Rainbow Face with pale green-blue stripes had her head on Dusterës, a dark green Rainbow Face with medium blue stripes, back.
“I do wonder how we all came out different colors.” Don wondered to himself. “Only Mimi and Duster look a little like Mother and Father.”
Don looked back outside then stood “I hope you’re okay rain, Mother and Father wouldn’t like this at all.” He walked to his siblings and joined them in the snuggle to rest.
Rain kept heading in the general direction of the Great Circle. She knew if she could just keep following it she’ll find the other two roads to The great Valley, and she knew if she did she’d find her family. She was very urged to call out but with the fear of Sharpteeth she preferred to remain quiet. She felt weak from her way, wanting to stop as well but knew to continue on. Ahead she could see a figure of a dinosaur. It w
