The Warning
A few more weeks pass in the Mysterious Beyond. Pterano made even more recovery as he no longer needed the stick. And ever since, Pterano, with the help of Devon would tell adventurous stories to the children. They were closer than ever now. Ever since that night, they would treat eachother as father and son. Every thing they did together brought them closer, whether it was telling stories, fishing on a sunny afternoon or just watching the stars at night. Their father son bond was something that could never be taken away from them, not even by Sierra.
And speaking of telling stories, one night Pterano stood above the children, telling them the one story he had never told them before. "It all started when I was soaring in the sky, just watching over my sister and her new born kids..." He winked at Petrie as he stared up at him with great admiration.
FLASHBACK
Pterano soared over the herd below him. It had been a few weeks since Petrie and his siblings was born. He couldn't help but smile with pride as he watched over his sister and her children. But he noticed one was missing: Petrie. He craned his neck to see a curious baby Petrie sniffing a treestars.
He smiled lovingly. This just had to be the cutest sight. But he also noticed a dark figure of a sharptooth...AND IT WAS HEADING STRAIGHT FOR PETRIE!!!! Pterano gritted his teeth. When you're a flyer, there are times you gotta do what a flyer's gotta do. This was one of those times. "Not with my nephew, you don't." he muttered before diving into the trees below.
He landed on a treebranch with a vine, just waiting for the right time to strike. The sharptooth came into view and Pterano saw his chance. He dived for the sharptooth's jaws, tying the vine around them as tight as he could. Then he aimed for the legs and tied them just as tight, causing the sharptooth to fall over. "Yeah, not on my watch, you over grown rats with teeth!"
"Pterano!"
This caught the red flyer off guard, nearly knocking him over. He knew that grumpy voice anywhere. "What's the big idea?!? It's me!!"
Things aren't always what they seem as this so called "sharptooth" appeared to be none other than...
"Mr. Threehorn!" Pterano landed beside the old threehorns face. "I'm so sorry! You looked so much like a sharptooth from up there..."
****
The kids burst out laughing as Cera was the first one to do so, spitting out the chewed treestar that was in her mouth. Pterano laughed as well. "That was you!?! Pterano nodded, smiling at the young threehorn. "I can't believe you thought my dad was a sharptooth!"
"Me neither, Cera." Pterano agreed.
"Well, what happened?" Littlefoot asked curiously.
"Well, let's see here," Pterano thought for a moment, scratching his head. "Petrie finally came into view, he was staring from a tree branch. And then a certain young threehorn girl," he winked at Cera. "appeared from behind the trees and laughed her tail off. The next thing I knew, we were in front of the whole herd!"
"Did you untie him?" Ruby asked.
"Of course, after he promised not to kill me." He chuckled along with the kids while saying that.
"And then what?" Chomper asked.
"He chased me off," Pterano smiled as they chuckled. "Never act without thinking, kids. It'll ruin you..." he drifted off, hanging his head in shame. This reminded him of his when he lead part of the herd into their deaths. "Literally..."
Petrie immediately noticed this and knew exactly what he was sad about. But before he could do anything to comfort his uncle...
"Already, kids! Bedtime." Joe told the kids as Pterano nodded in agreement.
So the children curled up in the corner, noticing that Joe was right. It
was bedtime! Pterano lied himself by Petrie, who was already sound asleep against Littlefoot's side. He smiled at his nephew; he looked so cute all curled up like that. He curled himself protectively around Petrie and Littlefoot.
Devon laid himself beside Pterano, laying his head on his shoulder. "Goodnight, Dad."
Of course, he received no response because they were all asleep. Devon too fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
****
Devon opened his gray-green eyes, sitting up immediately after. He noticed that Pterano was missing from the group. He looked around unti something caught his eyes: Greenfood...and a great big pile of it. Then a certain red flyer caught to corner of his eye. None other than...
"Pterano?"
The older flyer smirked at him and then at the green food. "Did you...?" Devon drifted off in shock. Did Pterano really fly to get all this food?
"Enjoy." Pterano simply replied, handing Devon a treestar.
"Thanks, but uhh...how'd you get all this food?...Did you fly?"
"I climbed," Pterano chuckled. "Who knew my big feet would one day come handy." They laughed at the statement.
"Yay! It's not a dream!" Cera shouted, being the first one to rush into the pile instead of Spike.
Pterano chuckled. "Breakfast is served."
****
Later that day, Devon, Petrie and Pterano stood on top of the cave, right over the cave opening. "Now all it takes," Devon demonstrated, spreading his wings. "is a little wind and you're up in no time."
Pterano did exactly what Devon demonstrated and spreaded his wings for the first time in weeks to feel that cool breeze h missed so much. "Got it." With that, he ran to the edge and flapped his wings...
Only to fall straight onto Joe's spiky back. "Ow..."
The old spiketail couldn't help but laugh at the red flyer. "Goodness, Pterano! What have you been eating?"
"Uncle!" Petrie, along with Devon, flew down and landed next to Pterano. "You okay?"
"I guess so," Pterano replied, sitting up and rubbing the bottom of his beak. "It could have been worse if Joe wasn't here."
Joe smiled up at him. "Well, ya wanna try again?" Devon asked. The red flyer nodded, smiling like a five year old.
The next few days was spent working on Pterano's flight. It may have been a pain in the butt to do this, but each day, Pterano improved and got stronger and faster and way better at flying than before. Each day, Pterano would be flying with more force.
.............................................................................
Okay I have to stop there. I'm friggin tired right now, It's 10:40 and I have school tomorrow. But I should be able to post the rest of this chappie tomorrow and I have Chappie 8 done so...
Update: Hello, everyone! Miss me much? Here's the rest of the chapter that you all have been waiting for!
............................................................................
The eighth day...
The three flyers stood on top of the cave once again with a usual self-confident Pterano. "Are you ready?" Devon asked.
"I was
born ready." Pterano replied, spreading his wings as the sun reflected off his crest. Without another word, he took off to the skies, at first falling, due to the fact that this was his first time he actually flew since that fight with Sierra. But then he caught his flight back as he rose to the sky, causing an eclipse between the sun and the cave.
"There ya go, Dad!" Devon shouted after the red flyer. "Now yer gettin the hang of it! Just don't go bumping into trees this time!"
Pterano laughed as he flew even higher and faster. He took a deep breath of that familiar fresh air that flew into his face. He couldn't help but swell with pride and joy as he flew over the trees, memories of his childhood hit him. He and his uncle would race over trees like the ones below all the time. They would always race to the Rock That Looks Like A Longneck all the time back in the day. And when they got there, they would camp there for the best two nights of Pterano's life.
He chuckled joyfully at the memory as he flew around a tree and back. He was so happy that he was in the skies once again. Literally, he felt like he was in his teens again. The joy and pride finally got to him when he began to shout gleefully. "WHAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Everyone chuckled at this, even Cera. Finally he landed in the cave, scooping Ducky up in his arms and dancing with her playfully. Ducky, at first was shocked by Pterano's sudden action. Then she just laughed happily, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck, just enjoying the fact that Pterano was playing with her.
He spun her around multiple times until he placed her on the ground gently before falling on his back beside her, gasping for air. "Whoo!"
Devon flew to his side, standing over both him and Ducky. "I take it that you've had fun with today's lesson..." he told the older flyer. The both of them and Ducky chuckled at Devon's statement as Pterano sat up. It was silent now.
"...When do we eat?" Chomper asked, noticing that his stomach was growling. Every one laughed their heads off at the young sharptooth's comment. Chomper will be Chomper...
****
Within the next few days, it was about time to head back to the Great Valley. Devon was invited to come along. And so was Joe. But he refused, saying that his family still needs him. And so they said there reluctant goodbyes and thank yous and headed their own directions. Also at sunset, Pterano and Devon would have their own mini races at sunset so that Pterano would grow faster. That and just for the heck of it. But the fun ended when...
Pterano and Devon raced in the forest, doing their absolute best not to bump into any trees. "Come on, old timer," Devon teased. "Is that the best ya got?"
"You wish, hotshot," Pterano returned. To Devon's astonishment, he flew faster but not even thinking about where he was going or what he was flying into. Thump! He flew straight into a tree and fell to the ground. "Ow..."
Devon chuckled, landing beside him. "Oh, Pterano...Out of the mouths of hatchlings as they say..."
Pterano stood up, rubbing his back in pain."Very funny..." Their moment ended when they heard a low voice coming from the branches above them.
"Just like old times, eh Pterano?"
.........................................................................................
There ya go everyone! Just like I promised. Hope you enjoyed it.
lol, Pterano bumping straight into a tree.
