Ducky got onto Littlefoot while Petrie flew up into the air to fly in the direction of where they were going to go. Littlefoot looked around at the others, "Is everybody ready go go?" He asked, waiting to see if there were any who were not ready.

Denton liked the idea and nodded "I'm ready!" he said.

He had only seen thundering falls once since he left his nesting ground and that one time was enjoyable enough to warrant more visits in the future

Littlefoot nods, "Ok, lets go." He said before he set out leading them to the thundering falls, except for those who may go beside him or ahead of him that is. Ducky rode on his back and Petrie flew ahead.

Mim walked a bit behind him, not in an especial hurry to get there and knowing the way also. "That is a nice place." She commented as she walked along.

Cyrix walked in step with Mim still thinking about that captured sharptooth and what would happen if he escaped. Longtail however flapped his wings and got ahead of the group.

Cyrix continued to look up at the sky and wonder what adventures the great beyond had waiting for them.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the valley

Several of the grownups stood guard around the captured fastbiter. Agnog of coarse looked rather beside himself with grief. He lay in his bindings, seemingly in thought and not once daring to look at those who were guarding him.

An elderly Duckbill by the name of Syrius had approached the area and studied it with utmost curiosity.

"Fascinating." he said, tilting his head from side to side as he studied the sharptooth "Yes, very fascinating indeed. What are you feeding him?"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #25 on:** December 17, 2007, 05:34:38 PM

Grandpa longneck looked over at Syrius and replied "He seems to have gotten used to eating green food, however I don't believe we should let him go just yet. He may be tired but he can still be a real danger to the young ones."

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #26 on:** December 17, 2007, 05:39:22 PM

"Hmm." said Syrius and he eyed the fastbiter more curiously. He aproached it and walked around it looking it up and down, taking in its details

"Such an interesting type, isnt he? Very week, yes. Clumsy and dumb even. I heard you've been trying to learn ways to communicate with him. Any luck yet?"

He ended with the question and turned to look at the elderly longneck

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #27 on:** December 17, 2007, 05:53:30 PM

Grandpa longneck frowned as he said "Well....none of us guarding him have learned how to speak any form of sharptooth..." then he remembered something "But Cyrix's nephew a flyer named Longtail has been learning at a rapid rate...you may want to speak to him."

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #28 on:** December 17, 2007, 06:04:37 PM

"Perhaps I will... but first I shall speak to the creature myself." responded Syrius
he turned to the fastbiter

"Hello, Agnog."

Agnog's eyes widened some and he lifted his head looking at Syrius

"How know me name?" said Agnog just as suddenly and in clear (yet a bit broken)common tongue

"I know much." Said Syrius "Your father was a worthy apponent back in the day. Many times have we fought, he tried to destroy me, and I, him. It even got to the point that we knew each other by name. And he learned much of the common tongue from several of his encounters with me."

The other dinosaurs were alarmed by this sudden communication between the duckbill and the fastbiter, even more so that Agnog knew how to speak a little bit of the common tongue.

"You were always the rejected one of the family, no?"

Agnog frowned and nodded

"A pity" said Syrius

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #29 on:** December 17, 2007, 06:18:30 PM

Grandpa longneck looked surprised as he asked "Excuse me Syrius....buy why are you asking such questions? However it may come in handy when or if we let him out." The elderly longneck looked around and noted that he could hear voices close by....near the Thundering Falls, and looked back to Syrius and said "Now may be your chance to speak with Longtail if you wish."

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2007, 08:25:57 PM

"Hm" nodded Syrius, he heard the children's chattering as well and knew what the elderly longneck was referring to.

"Good day to you, and good luck" said Syrius before proceeding into the direction of Thundering Falls

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #31 on:** December 17, 2007, 08:30:57 PM

Grandpa longneck turned his head and nodded to Syrius and replied "Good day to you as well."

Naturally Longtail reached the Thundering falls first, and he was all too proud about it! "Yes! Now I get first dibs on the best treestars!"

Kor · **Reply #32 on:** December 17, 2007, 09:37:58 PM

Ducky was riding on Littlefoot's back and Petrie was flying not to far ahead of Littlefoot, use to and preferring to fly close to his friends in most cases.

"Be sure you don't eat them all." Littlefoot said, jokingly.

"I'm sure he'll eat only half and save you the other half." Mim said, joining in the joking around a little. She continued to walk along looking at things, including at Cyrix as she did so.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #33 on:** December 17, 2007, 10:07:33 PM

Longtail smiled and said "Don't worry I'll leave you guys some!" as he jumped into a nearby tree and started snatching leaves off of their branches.

Cyrix laughed at his nephew's actions and saw Mim staring at him...and he smiled back at her, wondering what she was thinking about.

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #34 on:** December 18, 2007, 07:12:39 PM

Syrius soon aproached them, the large full grown duckbill nodded a greeting as he came near

"Hello, children. I'm looing for the one known as Longtail. Is he amongst your lot?"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #35 on:** December 18, 2007, 07:32:48 PM

Hearing his name Longtail immediately poked his head out of a nearby tree with a mouthfull of treestars. He swallowed them quickly and said "Yes...I'm Longtail....can I help you?"

Kor · **Reply #36 on:** December 18, 2007, 07:39:30 PM

Mim nods, and points up to where Longtail is. "That's him there, trying to outeat Littlefoot and Spike." She said in a humorous tone of voice.

----

"Hi Mr Syrius. No one can out eat Spike." Littlefoot said before he went over to a tree which he could reach with a bush nearby.

-----

Petrie flew up to a tree and started to pull off some leaves, dropping some for the ones who could not reach, eating about a third for himself. It seemed almost like a game to her. Petrie waved to Syrious. "You want some ?" He asked him.

----

"Littlefoot is right." She said as she got off of him, "No one can out eat Spike, no, no, no." Ducky ran around and caught one, sitting down giggling a bit.

"Catch and eat the leaf. It's like a game, yes it is." She said. She then saw who had come hear, "Hello Mr. Syrius, do you want some tree stars?" She asked offering hers.

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #37 on:** December 18, 2007, 07:43:20 PM

Syrius chuckled and took the offer

"Thank you, little one. I had'nt taken the time to even have breakfast this morning so your offer is more than generous."

Syrius gulped down the small portion of food and turned looking at Longtail

"I was told you were learning the language of the Sharptooth. I am most curious of your learnings."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #38 on:** December 18, 2007, 07:57:40 PM

Longtail blinked and said to Littlefoot "I can so outeat Spike...just watch!" THen he heard Syrius question and quickly climbed down the tree carrying with him a tail full of twigs and leafs still intent on beating Spike in this unofficial eating contest.

He then answered Syrius' question by saying "Well, I was alone for a long tim e in the Mysterious Beyond before I came here...so I picked it up along the way. I can only say a few phrases, but thanks to that sharptooth the elders caught a while ago I've learned much more...I can almost speak sharptooth without a problem!"

Then a thought crossed his mind "But why do you ask? Am I in trouble?"

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #39 on:** December 18, 2007, 08:00:53 PM

"Oh no, my dear child.there is no trouble." chuckled Syrius "I just find a fascination in knowing that there are others like me who were willing to learn the trade. Just so you'd know, I've trained young ones like yourself in Sharptooth combat and understanding."
