Stripetail reached the opening, then he felt himself being grabbed by dizens of little clawws. 'get the Sharptooth" He heard a sqeaky little voice cry. A tiny dinosaur popped out in front of him, and several more were streaming over him. grabbing at him and trying to hold him down. He was bigger than the small dinosaurs but they were numerous, and he wasn't sure if they were friendly or not.he jerked his staff free and smote the ground hard, causing the tiny dinosaurs on his right arm to fly backwards. With his paw free he he grabbed one small dinosaur after another and tossed them off him. "stop this!" he roared. "I don't evenknow what a sharptooth is,so hhow can I be one?" one of the dinosaurs he had flung off spoke up. "Be quiet , shgarptooth! You can't fool us!' Stripetail's patience was wearing thin, and he ewas not someone you wanted to anger. his eyes flashed, and the small creatures swarming over him cried in pain and scrambled off him and into the caves. He seized one of them before he could escape. "Oh no you don't!" he snarled. "I want answers, little one, and you're going to provide them for me. i am not a sharptooth, I am a squirell" what's a squirrell? the dinosaur asked, clearly scared. Stripetail looked at him oddly. "you don't know what a squirrell is?..." He paused and then it hit him. 'wherever this place is, there aren't any squirrells here.' he thought. "what are you?' he asked. "me tinysaur" the creature replied. "you're a dinosaur?' Stripetail said in surprise. "no, me longneck' the creature explained. You call call me Bigneck" the tinysaur squaked. "alright, Bigneck, i'm not going to hurt you. But I need a guide to find my way through this place." Stripetail said. putting Bigneck on his shoulder. "i'm putting you up here so you can see ahead. Bigneck looked around nervously, he was now (to him ) high off the ground, and he clung to Stripetail's shoulder. "great Valley is that way" he pointed forward. "thank you Bigneck. Perhaps someone there can give me directionms. Oh, and I'm Lord Stripetail.but you can call be Stripetail or Stripe for short." With Bigneck in tow, Stripetail began the decent into the great Valley.
