Would anyone be interested in a RP set in one of the ancient civilizations?
Something not many know about me is I'm super into history and studying how our ancestors lived.

Not quite sure which one, we can discuss that as a group. We have a few good choices.

Basically the RP will be the day in the life of people back then and the struggles.

This is my first time ever writing Fanfiction so please work with me here.
I gave Littlefoot's Mother the name Tora since I really wanted to give her a proper name.
Comments and critics welcome, just no flaming.
Also forgive the very unoriginal title I just didn't know what to call it.

Summary: AU Even before Littlefoot met the friends that would change his life, he had someone by his side who had been there since birth-his timid twin sister Yara.

Chapter 1

The land was cracked, the trees bare and the rivers dry. The land was dying, all the dinosaurs had was hope-hope to find a land they had never seen only heard spoken about.

Some believed the Great Valley wasn't real, some thought it was but that it was some sort of afterlife. While some truly believed they could find this paradise, a paradise with more food then they could ever eat, more water then they could ever drink and protection from those who wished to make a meal of them.

One herd who were seeked this sanctuary was a family of longnecks-what was left of them anyway. The family group consisted of an adult female, her parents, and her two children.

The female sighed as she looked around at the bare treetops galncing over as her father dropped bark at the feet of her young son.

"Mother is this all there is to eat?" Littlefoot complained pulling a face as he chewed.

"Sorry dear, the land is changing. We must eat what we must."

The second child-a girl sniffed her bark and backed off with a face of disgust "Blah."

"Yara, please sweet. We can't be picky." the adult lowered her head to her daughter "We must eat to keep our strength."

Yara sighed "Yes mother.." she replied chewing slowly on her food. Glancing at her brother out of the corner her eye.

The female shook her head watching her children, while the two were twins you would never of guessed as they were nothing alike.

Littlefoot looked so much like their father, but with definete features from his mother's side. He had the brown scales of his father, but the underbelly of his grandmother and the eyes of his grandfather.

Yara on the other hand was her grandfather all over again with the expection of her eyes which she definitely were those of her father, that wonderful shade of green with the blue tint.

The twins also differed in personality as well, while Littlefoot was outgoing and curious and always wanting to explore. Yara was shy and almost timid in nature, prefering to cling to their mothers side or those or their grandparents.

The adult female turned her hear as her mother approached, the ederly female looking even more fraigle as what little good food they could find went to the children.

"Tora..we should be getting going soon, you know staying in one place to long attracts predators." she paused as she glanced to the children now bugging their grandfather for a story "And the children..they would make easy targets..".

"I know.." Tora said "If only Bron was here...if only he could see his children.."

The elder nuzzled her daughter lovingly "Bron left to try and find this Great Valley..if he is still alive.."

"He IS still alive!" Tora snapped "I feel it in my heart, he will find us one day."

"Even if he does find us, in the meantime you must remain strong for the children. Your son and daughter are your world now. And theres nothing more satisfying then watching your children grow."

Tora gave a weak smile "I'm trying Mother..it's just hard..these lands..this is no way for Littlefoot and Yara to grow up. But they never known anything different to compare."

"They are strong, Tora. They'll be fine. They have each other."

Yara glanced around nervously as if as expecting an attack at any moment, when a twig suddenly snapped she bolted forward crashing head first into her brother knocking both to the ground.

"Ouch! Yara!" Littlefoot complained rubbing his head where it struck the ground with his tail.

"S-s-s-orry Littlefoot." Yara replied in an apologetic manner "I just got startled that's all."

"It's ok." Littlefoot assured her accepting her offer to help him up "Just watch where you're going next time ok?" he beamed at his sister and spoke before bouncing ahead "You worry too much, Yara relax."

Yara stared at him for a moment before following slowly "I have to worry, you sure don't." she muttered under her breath before picking up the pace as she was lagging behind. She slowed down again when she was by her Grandmothers side "Grandma?"

Grandma looked down at her young granddaughter "Yes, Yara?"

Yara sighed "What was the land like before? Before it all..changed..."

"Oh it was beautiful." Grandma sighed with happy memories "Green was everywhere, water so clear you could see the bottom. It was..paradise.."

"I wish we could be there now." Yara said sadly "I don't like it around here, theres nothing to eat and it spooks me. Was there Sharpteeth in the old place Grandma?"

"Oh occasionally a stray sharptooth would wander in, dealt with quickly of course. We never had any one get taken."

Yara froze a thought of horror rushing through her mind "What if a sharptooth takes me?" she wailed.

Grandma lowered her head to reassure the child "Now now don't worry, we will never let that happen. Your mother, Grandpa and I will make sure a sharptooth never gets near you or Littlefoot. I promise."

Yara smiled still unsure but reassured "I love you, Grandma."

"I love you too Yara."

Littlefoot was at Tora's side he remained quiet before speaking up "Mother, where are going anyway?"

"To a wonderful beautiful place called the Great Valley. There more food then you could ever eat, more clean fresh water then you could ever drink. And you and Yara could play without worrying about danger lurking around every corner."

"Have you ever seen the Great Valley?" Littlefoot asked not quite believing such a place was real.

Tora stopped and looked down on her son "No."

"Then how do you know it's really there?"

Closing her eyes for a moment Tora lowered her head to Littlefoot's level "Well my son, some things you see with your eyes others you see with your heart."

Littlefoot bowed his head with a heavy sigh "I don't understand Mother.."

Tora chuckled "You will my son, you will." she glanced over to Yara still at Grandma's side "And so will your sister." she gave Littlefoot a lick before continuing "Just remember, as long as you and Yara hold on together there is nothing you can't overcome."

~~

have not forgotten the tree-star scene but that will be next chapter and be re-written to work with Yara being added into the story.
Littlefoot and Yara are twins but non-identical twins.

Only the character Yara belongs to me.

Ask and I shall answer.
