Woo, sorry I left ya hanging...
=Part Two
The next day...
After flying throughout the night, Pterano was tired and Taylen wasn’t much better. The little Egg-Stealer’s gait became slower each step and his pale eyes looked a little duller, but he plodded on, nonetheless. Pterano had to admire the young one’s persistence. He hadn’t said a word of complaint since they started this adventure, just merely voiced questions or concerns like: why were you banished? The flyer frowned. That explanation alone had lasted half the night.
“Sir?” Taylen spoke up hesitantly.
Pterano looked down at his companion. “Yes?”
“Um, how long until we stop?” Taylen turned a rather desperate eye towards the flyer, indicating he wanted to stop that instant, but was too timid to say it.
Pterano sighed. “We can… stop now, I suppose,” he suggested, figuring it best for the both of them. He banked sharply and dropped to the ground to take note of their surroundings. They had made some progress traveling through the dry plains. Pterano recognized the green haze in the distance symbolizing the grasslands the far walkers had traveled through the day previous. They would be back at the Valley before too long, maybe another day of solid travel, provided he or Taylen could take the lack of sleep much longer.
But there was a problem. Their resting place was completely exposed. There was no cover around for at least another two miles. Pterano nervously sucked in his breath as he tried not to think of the predators that roamed these parts. He hadn't seen any so far with the far walkers, but a giant band of dinosaurs was quite different than an aging flyer and a pint-sized Egg-Stealer on their own. He turned to look at his little companion.
But Taylen had obviously not taken any note of their present situation as he had simply curled himself up into a tight little ball at the flyer's feet and seemed to have fallen asleep on the spot. Pterano sighed and reluctantly bent to wake the youngster. “Ahem, Taylen?” He whispered gently, poking the little dinosaur's dappled brown back.
Taylen stirred and mumbled something. Pterano tried again, giving him a slight push. Taylen's pale yellow eyes opened with some effort. “Wha isit?” He murmured. “I thought you said we could stop,” the dinosaur sounded upset.
Pterano hastily defended himself. “We, we can, but not here. See?” he waved a talon at their surroundings. “We're completely unsafe right now. A fast biter could come right along now and decide to have a bit of breakfast while we'd be snoozing away.” He tried to keep his voice level, but the panic was all too real.
Taylen frowned, disappointed. “But I'm so tired,” he protested softly. Pterano was tired too, but since age and experience were on his side, flying straight through the night didn't bother him as much. His system could adapt rather quickly; however, in Taylen's case, the youngster was still in the stages of maturing and he would most likely need several breaks from time to time to rest and refuel.
Pterano frowned. They wouldn't make any progress with continued pit stops. Realizing what that meant he had to do, the flyer sighed and asked. “Taylen? How heavy are you?”
The Egg-Stealer jerked to a stop after getting to his shaky feet and flashed the big flyer a doubtful frown. “Um, I dunno, not very heavy I think.”
“Can you give me an estimate?”
Taylen's snout scrunched up with confusion. “Wha's that mean?”
Pterano rolled his eyes. “An estimate; tell me something that's about as heavy as you are!” He didn't mean to sound so impatient, but it was vital that they got to cover and fast and since Taylen was just about drained – the poor lad could barely stand straight – Pterano knew he was going to have to carry him.
Taylen got the gist and focused his tired mind on the flyer's query. “Um, well, I'd say I'm much lighter than...” he looked around. “That rock there,” he pointed. A massive boulder met Pterano's eyes.
The flyer sighed. Of course you are, he thought grumpily. But shaking his head he bent in front of the little Egg-Stealer and gestured that he mount. Taylen stepped back, a little surprised. “You-you're gonna carry me?” He breathed.
Pterano frowned. “Well, what's wrong? Didn't you jump on my back last night as I was about to fly off? What are you scared of? Hop on!”
Taylen ducked his head meekly and gave a nimble leap to settle on Pterano's back. The flyer grunted as he spread his wings and flapped into the air. Taylen was about as heavy as a nest full of eggs – really, the flyer was surprised at how light he was. The Egg-Stealer yelped as he saw them rise up off the ground and quickly wrapped both of his scrawny arms around the flyer's neck.
“G-great nest-egg!” He croaked. “We-we're, up! In the sky!” He risked a glance downwards and yelped again, seizing an even tighter hold around Pterano's collar and planting his feet against the flyer's back.
Pterano let out a rather strangled cry of protest as he positioned his wings so the two were leveled out horizontally in the air. He shook his head, trying to loose the panicked little dinosaur's arms from his neck but Taylen only held on tighter. “Erk!” Pterano gasped, bucking his head. “Taylen! You're choking me! Just grab my shoulders, you're fine!”
Taylen slowly released his death-grip on the flyer's neck and then clamped his claws around the flyer's scapulars, cringing with terror. Pterano softened up a bit, realizing just how scared the youngster was. “Hey,” he called back. “Taylen, look below!” The Egg-Stealer peeked with one eye over the tip of Pterano's wing. “See that green in the distance? Those are grasslands. We're almost out of the dry plains, lad!” The flyer called back cheerfully. Taylen relaxed then,looking down at the baked yellows and browns of the dry plains, broken up here and there with dead vegetation, and then up ahead the cool, green sliver of the incoming grasslands.
More at ease now, Taylen got to enjoy the ride and remembered that he was in fact dead tired. He snuggled against the flyer's shoulder blades and feel asleep. Pterano, sensing this, steadied his wingbeats down to a gentle rustle and flew on, a small tender grin playing across his beak.

A'www^^ Taylen's all cuddled against Pterano. I'm guessing that Pterano doesn't mind, much, despite the yelling he did before Pterano, why you bein' such a jerk?

Character Discussion / Songs that fit the characters
« on: June 05, 2012, 01:42:26 PM »
Oi, the songs Titanium (David Guetta) It's Time (Imagine Dragons), and Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day) fit Pterano for some reason, I think:
You shoot me down, but I won't fall, I'm Titanium
-- like how his ideas just so often fail, but he's not gonna give up
It's time to begin, isn;t it, I get a little bit bigger but then, I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was...
-- Admitting he goes a bit overboard, but he's unchanged
My shadow's the only one beside me, my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating, sometimes I wish someone out there qwould find me, Till then I walk alone
-- Basically, he's owning up to the fact that he's an outlaw until... well, someone looks at him differently
I know, corny...
for Littlefoot, I'd say the Beib's song Never Say Never fits

Character Discussion / Pterano
« on: June 05, 2012, 01:36:36 PM »
Ah, Pterano, so awesome to see an entire thread dedicated to him^^
That egotistical flyer, that Very Important Creature, that hopeless, irresponsible, proud, stuck-up, self-centered, total drama-king... etc.
What can I say about Pterano that I haven't said already? lol well, he is one of my absolute fave characters, (close tie between Strut and Pterano) and Stone of Cold Fire happened to be a Christmas present I received one year (BEST.... GIFT... EVER!) I instantly fell in love with Pterano's character. He was a real change from the original five and the other supporting characters in that he was a bit of an outlaw
I also liked that while he did all thhose terrible things, not to mention kidnap Ducky (but if you listen/look closely, you can tell he's pretty hesitant about taking her... he's ab-libbing: "Well, uhhm... that... forces me to make a small change in our flight plan." Notice all the pauses, he's putting on a show for Rinkus and Sierra!!) he still managed to show a bit of a softer, kinder side every so often. Like he was just really confused about his role to play, like he didn't want to have power, but then again he did... *shrug*
I got the feeling, even when I was little, that Pterano didn't really MEAN to be a villain. "Things simply got out of control"
Anyway, those are my thoughts and character analyses. MAN these are exhausting, esp. for an in-depth character like Pterano who has so many fallouts and add-ins to his personality. DARN YOU, SMEXY FLYER!!

I got the sense he was ratehr melodramatic, but I could tell he got quite upset when he thought that Ducky had in fact fallen to her death
Charries that I find annoying: well, at first Hyp, Mutt and Nod. but AT FIRST! XD

(Thanks for all the feedback thus far^^ much appreciated.)
=Part One
Several miles back, in the Great Valley, little Petrie was having trouble falling asleep. No matter how much he tossed and turned in his large nest, amidst his many brothers and sisters, he could not slip into slumber. Something was nagging him in the back of his mind. Petrie finally sat up and sighed. “It no use, me never getting sleep, tonight.”
Mama Flyer hopped closer to her little son. “Something the matter, Petrie?” She murmured softly.
Petrie turned to his mother with a mournful look. “Me thinking, Mama. Me miss Uncle Pterano.”
Mama Flyer stiffened. In the dark of the cave, Petrie would have missed it had the Night Circle not been shining like torchlight outside. He noticed her shiver and he sighed. “Me sorry Mama, me know Uncle Pterano did bad things, but he still my uncle and me still love him.”
Mama Flyer bent and wrapped her little son in her wings. “I know, Petrie. I know.”
“You think he come back soon?” Petrie’s squawky voice was slightly muffled. “That he be let back in when five cold times pass?”
Mama Flyer paused and sighed. Knowing her brother, she would have answered in short: a blunt ëno’ and that would have been the end of it. But she was talking to her son, who idolized Pterano, despite his past. “I don’t know, Petrie. I hope so.” Truly, Mama Flyer did hope that her brother would be welcomed back to the Great Valley, preferably sooner than later. She, like Petrie, wasn’t too happy about the sentence of five cold times’ banishment, but she knew that was what Pterano had to do. He never took responsibility for his actions, never had, and probably never would. To Pterano, responsibility got in the way of things; one didn’t need responsibility to lead a group, he was convinced. Pterano paid for that mistake with whatever dignity and honor he had left, not to mention an undefined length of banishment, after what happened the first time.
“Mama?” Petrie queried somewhere within the folds of Mama’s wings. “What you think Uncle Pterano doing now?”
Mama Flyer grinned. “Oh, I don’t know, probably getting ready for sleep. If he’s still with the far walkers, he’s likely very tired from all the traveling they do.”
“Me see,” Petrie sounded happy, and was that a yawn escaping his beak? “What he be doing tomorrow?”
Mama Flyer carefully laid her little son back into the nest. “He’ll be doing more traveling. That’s what the far walkers do, dear. Travel all the time. He’s probably very tired at the end of each day.”
“Me… me think so, too…” Petrie yawned again, his eyelids drooping until they were closed and his breathing leveled. Mama Flyer smiled gently and bent to give Petrie a little kiss.
~
Sleep for Pterano didn't come that easily. Every noise he heard, every twig snap, or rustle below caused the flyer to jerk out of his wing folds and almost topple off the branch he was perched on. It seemed like there was more noise tonight, or maybe it was just because he didn’t fall asleep immediately.
Just then, the flyer heard another noise, and this time it was the closest yet. Whipping out of his wings, Pterano balanced himself on the branch, glaring fearfully down into the darkness. His claws gripped the branch nervously as he croaked out in as brave a whisper as he could muster. “H-hello? Who’s there?"
Nothing happened. Pterano, narrowing his eyes and tensing his shoulders in case of a take-off, tried again. “I know someone's down there! Sneaking around won't do you any good, so -!” Pterano's beak closed with a loud snap as he heard a new voice below.
“N-no! Wait, see? Nothing wrong, here. I-I’m coming out. No cause for alarm.” There were more rustlings and then finally, a young dinosaur stepped out from behind a large fern. Pterano, threatening demeanor completely forgotten, gawked down at the youngster.
It was a young Egg-Stealer, Pterano could tell that much, but he wasn’t sure why as the Night Circle didn’t really shed enough light through the trees for him to get a better look. Maybe it was something in the little one’s voice that gave away his species. Pale eyes glowing, the youngster peered intently up at the big flyer and piped up a cautious greeting. “’Allo, there. Name’s Taylen, what about yours?” The Egg-Stealer’s accent matched his own and for some reason, Pterano calmed down slightly because of that.
Pterano, in reply, spread his wings, causing Taylen to jump back in fear. The flyer quickly pulled his wings back in. “Everything’s fine, I’m not going to hurt you. I just can’t see you very well from up here.” Not waiting for the little one to respond, Pterano flapped nimbly to the ground. Taylen flinched slightly. “Hey, come on,” Pterano insisted, voice betraying some annoyance. “I told you I wasn’t going to hurt you and I meant it, so settle down.”
Taylen nodded quickly. “Uh, okay, right, sorry about that. So… who are you?”
“I'm Pterano,” the flyer cocked his crested head. “Now, what is someone your age doing all the way out here at this time of night? I’ve never seen you before in our group, so please explain yourself.” He straightened and folded his arms.
Taylen swallowed loudly. “Well, I’m-I’m trying to find someone, two someones, s’matter of fact. And I almost ran into a couple of sharpteeth earlier, so I ducked in here.”
“Is that so?” Pterano remarked. “Well, I suppose the next question on the agenda is who might you be looking for?”
“My brothers, Ozzy and Strut, who disappeared awhile back and I decided I’d go and look for ëem.”
Pterano raised an eyebrow suspiciously. “And where are your parents?”
Taylen paused. “Uhh… back with my herd. Why?”
“You mean to tell me that you’re out here all on your own?” The flyer was shocked.
Taylen shook his head. “No. You’re here, too, right?” The little dinosaur giggled nervously.
Pterano’s beak twitched in a minute grin. “True, clever that. But you really shouldn’t be out on your own like this. How old are you, anyway? You don’t look that old,”
“I’m not: I’ll be fourteen seasons by the end of next month,” Taylen sounded so proud. Pterano started, wings dropping to his sides in total astonishment. Taylen insisted. “I-I’m stronger’n I look, honest.” He thrust a forearm out and tried to flex. “See?”
Pterano could most certainly see, see that this youngster was out of his mind. “Look, um, Taylen. It’s dangerous out here. You need to get back to your family.” He bent so he and the Egg-Stealer were eye level, which was a little lower than what Pterano was accustomed. The flyer could practically taste the disappointment in the youngster’s voice.
“But, but, what about my brothers? I’m really worried ëbout them. They’ve been missing for so long.”
“I’m sure they’re fine, lad,” Pterano said reassuringly through a yawn. “They can probably fend for them – wait, are we talking younger or older brothers?”
“Older by at least two cold times.”
“Of course.” Pterano sighed. “Taylen, I am certain your brothers’ll be just grand. They can probably take care of themselves, so –”
“But that’s just it!” Taylen persisted, insistant. “Mum and Dad sent them out to scout for another home, but they haven’t come back! We all went out searching, and I snuck out to look for them, myself.”
Pterano sighed again. “You should have had one of your parents come with you, at least.” He chided. “A pint-sized Egg-Stealer like you’d be swallowed by a sharptooth in an instant.”
Taylen shrugged. “Mum and Dad gave up way back, but I haven’t. And I haven’t been eaten yet,”
Pterano frowned and shook his head. “The keyword there is ëyet’. You’re way out of your league here, so allow me to point you back in the direction you came from.”
“But wait!” Taylen pleaded. “Please, sir, can’t you help me?”
Pterano nearly choked on his own tongue. “What?” He gasped. Taylen prodded. “Please?”
“Well, uhh…” Perfect time to be tongue-tied, Pterano thought, annoyed. He folded his arms again. “You can't be serious?”
“I am, sir!” the little dinosaur piped up happily. “I made a promise not to stop until I found my brothers, and I intend to keep it.”
Well, this was a fine mess. Pterano narrowed his eyes, obviously put-out. “I, I…” he grumbled. “Well, I guess I can lend a helping wing. Got nothing else to do at the moment.”
“Oh, thank you so much!” Taylen jumped up and down excitedly. Pterano shushed him. “Settle down, will you? Don’t want to wake up every sharptooth in this vicinity now, do we?”
Taylen settled, shaking his head, large eyes still glowing. Pterano shivered. “Well, let’s be on the move, then.” He spread his wings, flying low so that he didn’t lose sight of the youngster, and Taylen didn’t lose sight of him. “Do you know where your brothers were last seen?”
“Yeah! Dad sent ëem to check out the Great Valley!”
Pterano spluttered in surprise. “What? Oh no, oh no. This isn’t going to work Taylen, sorry.” He wheeled around to speed back to the grove when Taylen grabbed his foot. “Why not?” Taylen insisted, tugging the flyer back to earth. He's strong for all his size; I’ll give him that, Pterano thought as he pulled back. Aloud, he ordered, “Will you let go! Listen, lad, I’ve been banished, exiled, kicked out of the Great Valley!”
Taylen let go, eyes wide. “How come?”
“Past mistakes,” Pterano mumbled coldly, hovering. “But, technically, I’m not allowed to set foot or wing,” he flapped his wings for emphasis, “until five cold times have passed by. Now, let’s see: I have at least that amount of time left, so this obviously puts a damper on our plans. Terribly sorry I have to fly off, but you know, ëbanished’.” He made as if to retreat when Taylen gave a powerful leap and jumped on his back. “What are you doing? Are you cr–?”
“Yes, I’m crazy!” Taylen cried. “But you said that you’d help me!”
“Banishment takes priority here,” Pterano replied hotly. “Now, let go!”
“No! Not until you promise to help! Please, sir!” The desperate tone in the little one's voice softened the flyer's resolve. Oh, of all the times to be a push-over. Pterano sighed and slowly landed, realizing that it would be useless to continue this struggle as he would most likely throw the little lad and seriously hurt him.
The flyer grumbled, hemmed and hawed, and then finally whispered back. “All right, fine! I promise, but you have to stop yelling,” he bent to his knees, allowing Taylen to dismount. “And never catch onto me like that again. If I had been up in the air, I’d have crashed, putting us both out of commission.” Despite the scolding tone, Pterano straightened and spread his wings.
“Now,” Pterano flapped into the air. “I’ll try to get you as close to the Valley as I can, but I can’t actually get you in. D’you think you can travel by night?”
Taylen shrugged. “I’ve tried to be on the road by day, but I can make an effort.”
Pterano smiled a small grin. “Grand, then let’s be off,”
==
woohoo for perky OC's with British accents!! XD
and aww, Pterano doesn't sound too happy about helping out this feisty little dino. I guess he doesn't appreciate the fact that he likes kids and is willing to change... ah well

He never took responsibility for his actions, never had, and probably never would. To Pterano, responsibility got in the way of things; one didn’t need responsibility to lead a group, he was convinced. Pterano paid for that mistake with whatever dignity and honor he had left, not to mention an undefined length of banishment, after what happened the first time.
“Mama?” Petrie queried somewhere within the folds of Mama’s wings. “What you think Uncle Pterano doing now?”
Mama Flyer grinned. “Oh, I don’t know, probably getting ready for sleep. If he’s still with the far walkers, he’s likely very tired from all the traveling they do.”
“Me see,” Petrie sounded happy, and was that a yawn escaping his beak? “What he be doing tomorrow?”
Mama Flyer carefully laid her little son back into the nest. “He’ll be doing more traveling. That’s what the far walkers do, dear. Travel all the time. He’s probably very tired at the end of each day.”
“Me… me think so, too…” Petrie yawned again, his eyelids drooping until they were closed and his breathing leveled. Mama Flyer smiled gently and bent to give Petrie a little kiss.

Sleep for Pterano didn't come that easily. Every noise he heard, every twig snap, or rustle below caused the flyer to jerk out of his wing folds and almost topple off the branch he was perched on. It seemed like there was more noise tonight, or maybe it was just because he didn’t fall asleep immediately.
Just then, the flyer heard another noise, and this time it was the closest yet. Whipping out of his wings, Pterano balanced himself on the branch, glaring fearfully down into the darkness. His claws gripped the branch nervously as he croaked out in as brave a whisper as he could muster. “H-hello? Who’s there?"
Nothing happened. Pterano, narrowing his eyes and tensing his shoulders in case of a take-off, tried again. “I know someone's down there! Sneaking around won't do you any good, so -!” Pterano's beak closed with a loud snap as he heard a new voice below.
“N-no! Wait, see? Nothing wrong, here. I-I’m coming out. No cause for alarm.” There were more rustlings and then finally, a young dinosaur stepped out from behind a large fern. Pterano, threatening demeanor completely forgotten, gawked down at the youngster.
It was a young Egg-Stealer, Pterano could tell that much, but he wasn’t sure why as the Night Circle didn’t really shed enough light through the trees for him to get a better look. Maybe it was something in the little one’s voice that gave away his species. Pale eyes glowing, the youngster peered intently up at the big flyer and piped up a cautious greeting. “’Allo, there. Name’s Taylen, what about yours?” The Egg-Stealer’s accent matched his own and for some reason, Pterano calmed down slightly because of that.
Pterano, in reply, spread his wings, causing Taylen to jump back in fear. The flyer quickly pulled his wings back in. “Everything’s fine, I’m not going to hurt you. I just can’t see you very well from up here.” Not waiting for the little one to respond, Pterano flapped nimbly to the ground. Taylen flinched slightly. “Hey, come on,” Pterano insisted, voice betraying some annoyance. “I told you I wasn’t going to hurt you and I meant it, so settle down.”
Taylen nodded quickly. “Uh, okay, right, sorry about that. So… who are you?”
“I'm Pterano,” the flyer cocked his crested head. “Now, what is someone your age doing all the way out here at this time of night? I’ve never seen you before in our group, so please explain yourself.” He straightened and folded his arms.
Taylen swallowed loudly. “Well, I’m-I’m trying to find someone, two someones, s’matter of fact. And I almost ran into a couple of sharpteeth earlier, so I ducked in here.”
“Is that so?” Pterano remarked. “Well, I suppose the next question on the agenda is who might you be looking for?”
“My brothers, Ozzy and Strut, who disappeared awhile back and I decided I’d go and look for ëem.”
Pterano raised an eyebrow suspiciously. “And where are your parents?”
Taylen paused. “Uhh… back with my herd. Why?”
“You mean to tell me that you’re out here all on your own?” The flyer was shocked.
Taylen shook his head. “No. You’re here, too, right?” The little dinosaur giggled nervously.
Pterano’s beak twitched in a minute grin. “True, clever that. But you really shouldn’t be out on your own like this. How old are you, anyway? You don’t look that old,”
“I’m not: I’ll be fourteen seasons by the end of next month,” Taylen sounded so proud. Pterano started, wings dropping to his sides in total astonishment. Taylen insisted. “I-I’m stronger’n I look, honest.” He thrust a forearm out and tried to flex. “See?”
Pterano could most certainly see, see that this youngster was out of his mind. “Look, um, Taylen. It’s dangerous out here. You need to get back to your family.” He bent so he and the Egg-Stealer were eye level, which was a little lower than what Pterano was accustomed. The flyer could practically taste the disappointment in the youngster’s voice.
“But, but, what about my brothers? I’m really worried ëbout them. They’ve been missing for so long.”
“I’m sure they’re fine, lad,” Pterano said reassuringly through a yawn. “They can probably fend for them – wait, are we talking younger or older brothers?”
“Older by at least two cold times.”
“Of course.” Pterano sighed. “Taylen, I am certain your brothers’ll be just grand. They can probably take care of themselves, so –”
“But that’s just it!” Taylen persisted, insistant. “Mum and Dad sent them out to scout for another home, but they haven’t come back! We all went out searching, and I snuck out to look for them, myself.”
Pterano sighed again. “You should have had one of your parents come with you, at least.” He chided. “A pint-sized Egg-Stealer like you’d be swallowed by a sharptooth in an instant.”
Taylen shrugged. “Mum and Dad gave up way back, but I haven’t. And I haven’t been eaten yet,”
Pterano frowned and shook his head. “The keyword there is ëyet’. You’re way out of your league here, so allow me to point you back in the direction you came from.”
“But wait!” Taylen pleaded. “Please, sir, can’t you help me?”
Pterano nearly choked on his own tongue. “What?” He gasped. Taylen prodded. “Please?”
“Well, uhh…” Perfect time to be tongue-tied, Pterano thought, annoyed. He folded his arms again. “You can't be serious?”
“I am, sir!” the little dinosaur piped up happily. “I made a promise not to stop until I found my brothers, and I intend to keep it.”
Well, this was a fine mess. Pterano narrowed his eyes, obviously put-out. “I, I…” he grumbled. “Well, I guess I can lend a helping wing. Got nothing else to do at the moment.”
“Oh, thank you so much!” Taylen jumped up and down excitedly. Pterano shushed him. “Settle down, will you? Don’t want to wake up every sharptooth in this vicinity now, do we?”
Taylen settled, shaking his head, large eyes still glowing. Pterano shivered. “Well, let’s be on the move, then.” He spread his wings, flying low so that he didn’t lose sight of the youngster, and Taylen didn’t lose sight of him. “Do you know where your brothers were last seen?”
“Yeah! Dad sent ëem to check out the Great Valley!”
Pterano spluttered in surprise. “What? Oh no, oh no. This isn’t going to work Taylen, sorry.” He wheeled around to speed back to the grove when Taylen grabbed his foot. “Why not?” Taylen insisted, tugging the flyer back to earth. He's strong for all his size; I’ll give him that, Pterano thought as he pulled back. Aloud, he ordered, “Will you let go! Listen, lad, I’ve been banished, exiled, kicked out of the Great Valley!”
Taylen let go, eyes wide. “How come?”
“Past mistakes,” Pterano mumbled coldly, hovering. “But, technically, I’m not allowed to set foot or wing,” he flapped his wings for emphasis, “until five cold times have passed by. Now, let’s see: I have at least that amount of time left, so this obviously puts a damper on our plans. Terribly sorry I have to fly off, but you know, ëbanished’.” He made as if to retreat when Taylen gave a powerful leap and jumped on his back. “What are you doing? Are you cr–?”
“Yes, I’m crazy!” Taylen cried. “But you said that you’d help me!”
“Banishment takes priority here,” Pterano replied hotly. “Now, let go!”
“No! Not until you promise to help! Please, sir!” The desperate tone in the little one's voice softened the flyer's resolve. Oh, of all the times to be a push-over. Pterano sighed and slowly landed, realizing that it would be useless to continue this struggle as he would most likely throw the little lad and seriously hurt him.
The flyer grumbled, hemmed and hawed, and then finally whispered back. “All right, fine! I promise, but you have to stop yelling,” he bent to his knees, allowing Taylen to dismount. “And never catch onto me like that again. If I had been up in the air, I’d have crashed, putting us both out of commission.” Despite the scolding tone, Pterano straightened and spread his wings.
“Now,” Pterano flapped into the air. “I’ll try to get you as close to the Valley as I can, but I can’t actually get you in. D’you think you can travel by night?”
Taylen shrugged. “I’ve tried to be on the road by day, but I can make an effort.”
Pterano smiled a small grin. “Grand, then let’s be off,”

woohoo for perky OC's with British accents!! XD
and aww, Pterano doesn't sound too happy about helping out this feisty little dino. I guess he doesn't appreciate the fact that he likes kids and is willing to change... ah well

@Pterano: Wow thank you so much for the feedback^^ I really appreciate it.
meh, I always seem to have some trouble with getting my thoughts in narrations down, but I'm glad you pointed those things out to me. Hopefully it's a little better now
@Mr. Wonk: I'm glad you liked it^^ I was going for something that I reckoned happened close enough after Pterano's banishment, but long enough after that there was time for some settling down I guess

Oh, how sad 
I can't imagine LBT without Grandpa Longneck. Poor Littlefoot. Realy, his grandparents are so much more to him,
And WOW, I definitely did not see THAT coming :blink: Pterano, replacing Grandpa Longneck on the Council? whhooo... but not a bad choice; should have happened a while ago, after he helped to save Petrie. I'm glad he accepted

And here I guess I have a chance to show of my average writing skills^^
This is my first LBT fanfic!
==
Pterano meant no harm, really. All he wanted was a chance, a chance to prove that no job was too big for him, a chance to convince everyone he was capable of being a leader. But, that wasn’t how it had turned out, much like all of his schemes. He was still regarded as a ne’er-do-well, a wild, crazy flyer who never thought things through; a pompous, stuck-up, self-centered jerk with absolutely no sense of responsibility. Pterano snorted in mid-air, staring gloomily ahead into the dusky horizon as the Bright Circle lowered itself before her sister circle took over her nightly duties.
It had only been a little over a month since his banishment, but already, it had seemed to Pterano that he had waited out over five cold times in the Mysterious Beyond. He was still with the far walkers, figuring it better to stick with greater numbers while he abided to his punishment. Now they were traveling along dry plains. Water and food here were scarce, but thankfully, the place where they were resting for the night happened to bear a considerable amount of green food. Pterano had cut off from the group upon entering this oasis and settled himself in a tree a ways off. It wasn’t that he disliked the company, but he had been feeling rather restless on the road and preferred to keep to himself. The other far walkers gave him a wide berth under these circumstances; really, under any circumstances. Pterano wasn’t very popular around here, but the old flyer didn’t really mind. It gave him time to think: about his banishment… about that idiotic Stone… about Rinkus and Sierra, his two henchmen that he hadn’t seen since his banishment and hoped he never would.
Rinkus and Sierra, Pterano mused absently. Rinkus was naive, borderline clueless, and easily manipulated. Pterano wouldn’t hesitate to land a hard whack on Rinkus’ head for some stupid idea or action, but Sierra was different. Nearly matching Pterano in height, wingspan, but being at least six seasons younger and bearing an awful temper, Sierra made a nasty foe. Pterano remembered one such incident when the two had a disagreement, which quickly escalated to a full-blown duel. Both of them ended up winded and nearly knocked senseless from repeated wing-blows, but Sierra, youth still somewhat on his side, kept getting up and coming back harder until Rinkus leapt in-between the dueling flyers and insisted they stop. Pterano couldn’t help shaking one nagging thought: Sierra had nearly beaten him. But aside from all the drama, Rinkus and Sierra had made good enough stooges.
Then the two had ditched him when he had returned to the Great Valley to seek the strange new Stone of Cold Fire. He blamed those ratty Rainbow Faces for spinning all that fancy-talk about the oh-so-magical-and-wonderful stone. Tripe! It was all frivolous tripe, and he was an idiot for listening. But he couldn’t forget that feeling he had, that stirring deep within his gut, that churning desire to go after that stone and claim its powers for himself.
Well, that plan had worked out fabulously. Not only had Rinkus and Sierra turned their backs on him at the last possible moment, but the Stone had also turned out to be a fake. Pterano sighed, hidden within his wings. Nothing had changed for him: he was still banished, but his sentence had been reduced somewhat. ëFive cold times’ is reduced? Well, at least he had been forgiven. And by whom? That oaf Topps still hates my guts, and I’m pretty sure Old Man Longneck would have rather my sentence be a lot longer.
Pterano’s eyebrows lowered in a pensive frown. Had there been any good that had come out of that episode…? Of course, seeing his nephews and nieces again! In their eyes, he was a hero; a brave and bold individual. Most of all, to little Petrie. A minute grin tugged at the corner of his beak. Petrie, his favorite nephew, still believed in him. The little flyer was convinced that Pterano, regardless of the fact that he had a hand in that little swimmer Ducky’s kidnapping (and not to mention that long-ago episode of leading half the herd into a deadly nest of fastbiters; the reason he was banished in the first place) could still change for the better. He had witnessed it himself, when his uncle had saved Ducky from a perilous fall.
Obviously, having ëgood’ inside you is not enough. Pterano grunted. But what else can I do to show them?

Really it was my pleasure^^ and I was actually glad I got so nervous - it takes a soul-stirring piece of writing like that to really get the reader thinking that seriously about it, so thank you
The situation was perfect for Pterano as well and the plot line definitely worked with someone from his past seeking revenge. That left a big plot hole in the movie^^

@Pterano: I was actually searching up LBT images for references for my art, and I found a lot on this forum. You can probably guess how excited I was to find a forum like this^^ I am on dA and FF but what I liked was that the users all shared something in common: LBT-fantasm!
Your fanfic I stumbled onto not long after I started reading Lost in a Forest by trulyfantasticme via a link she gave me on dA. And it took me awhile to 'stumble' onto your story again because I had to retrace my steps on the internet to find it. Seriously, those cliffhangers made me lose sleep it was so brilliantly written!
Keep up the awesome work, and thanks so much for the welcome!
@bushwhacked: hey there, thanks, I look forward to exploring more of this awesome site^^

Hi there, a bit new here, but I stated reading your fanfic and fell in love with it!! The plot was very original and I love that you kept the characters in, well, character^^
Brightneck was a solid antagonist, I kinda had a feeling it would either be him, or Sierra, but Sierra was never mentioned... And I like that you had his and pterano's past intertwine. I liked the fact that he was one of the great valley's own, so Littlefoot was never off in his assumptions^^
but gahh, tumultous, horrible pain! Darn dark and shady pasts! why must they resurface?
Hyp made me lol^^ so happy you had him in there. definitely one of my favorite characters, and having him be in the stages of courting was just so cute. I also liked his potential mate, Selene, she had a good head on her shoulders... opposites attract?
Agh! Ichy's back! Journey Through the Mists was always a childhood fave of mine, and I loved this little sassy sharpbeak. I was so glad you put him in the role of a protagonist here.
Lastly, Pterano: Seriously, I think this is the best description I have read of him. You totally kept in tune to his persona - he wasn't too sensitive, but not too cold either. You were super fab at describing his emotional and physical pain in the fanfic, I really had no trouble picturing that. And yes, I very nearly cried everytime he got hurt. the scenes with his tasks were beautifully and artfully wielded.
-- just a side note, this fanfic has kept me awake the past couple of nights because of those cliffhangers! You have made me a nervous wreck!!
