Land Before Time: Twilight Valley

Misty gulped as well, "Don't worry" Kit urged once more, "I'm right here, and it's gonna be fine". Kit, being Misty's advocate of the Valley residents there, flapped forward along with Misty.

"Well Mr. Littlefoot's grandpa", even after growing, Kit still called him that, "as you know, I was gone for two bright circles so I'm sorry I missed this big attack on the Valley when I could'a been here and helped" she looked around to her neighbors, "but anyway...I'm gonna help now, and this is really about Misty, so sorry".

"Um, Misty here" Kit smiled and got back on track, "as you can all see is an egg eater, but she saved me while I was out in the Mysterious Beyond". The story would help Misty's case, Kit thought, so she determined to tell it in a way that accurately showed the young egg eater's bravery.

"You see, while I was out there a group of about two fast biters chased me, I don't know if that had anything to do with this combined attack, but anyway I just began to fly off when one grabbed me by the wing. If...if Misty hadn't dropped a rock on his head I probably would have been a goner" Kit smiled over to the egg snatcher.

Smiling nervously, Misty looked to the elderly longneck as well, "Um, not to have someone else talk for me, Sir" she said, "but Kit insisted on that...anyway...being fully honest, since it will help" Misty said, "I was hunting eggs when I noticed Kit's distress in the first place".

Kit looked nervous at the murmur that went through a few members, "Misty..." she whispered worried that the egg eater might ruin her own chances.

"but when I saw another already hatched dinosaur, really near my age too, in such trouble I...well I just had to help out, after all the sharpteeth hunt us egg eaters too, so I saved Kit in the manner she described, intending for that to be it, but she's got this thing about making friends, she says she got it from your grandson and the others when they were kids...".

"She wouldn't let me just walk away and promising I could live off buzzer nests and such, all but drug me here". Misty looked around at the gathered flatteeth as well as others on the hot seat with her.

"and after hearing that this alliance of sharpteeth is bugging you now...I'm here to help you out if you'll have my help, Sir" Misty gave a small bow to show her sincerity of intentions.

Dante had been silent for a time, contemplating each of the arrivals to the Valley.
"Well, you two seem nice enough. I for one don't see a problem with welcoming you here, so long as you don't cause any trouble."
He chuckled....

"I would just like to rest up here for a few risings of the bright circle and then I'll be out from under your feet," Lori said glancing around nervously.

Kit12 · **Reply #203 on:** February 05, 2009, 11:34:16 AM

"Uh, yeah, don't worry, no trouble from me" Misty said, still a bit nervously, getting use to all of this. She heard what Lori said, but figured she was the last person to tell a sharptooth whether or not to stay in this Valley she'd just entered herself.

Kit had the thought of what a help another friendly sharptooth could be to them in this fray, but also figured such a thing was Lori's decision and they really had no right to ask her to put herself in danger like that for them, or she herself at least didn't have that right the flyer figured.

Grandpa Longneck looked at Misty. "Thank you for your offer of help. You are welcome to stay under the condition that you do not eat any eggs. And please introduce yourself and your group to the rest of the valley."

He then turned to Strut. "Hello. What's your name?"

"Strut, sir. May I stay here?" Strut replied.

"Very well, Strut, you are welcome to stay here. But you are not to eat any eggs. "

"Eggs are icky. I eat green food." Strut replied.

Grandpa Longneck then turned to Lori. "Hello. What's your name?"

-------

Over in the Bubbling Muds two of Styracus's advance guard had entered the Valley.

One of them was wiry black Fast-Runner with a stone knife strapped to his leg.

The other was a icy blue Swimmer. He was armed with a simple but effective club, whittled from a stout tree branch.

Footsteps were soon heard.

"I hear footsteps." the Swimmer said. "I'll draw them out and you kill them."

The Fast-Runner nodded and hid himself in some shrubs.

A Great Valley guard saw the Swimmer. "Hey, who are you!" he demanded, brandishing his weapon, a wooden spear.

"No one you know." the Swimmer replied.

"This valley is on alert. If you do not leave, I will forcibly remove you. Resist and I will use deadly force."

The Swimmer remained stationary and beckoned towards the guard. "Come get some."

The guard went over to the Swimmer and prepared to fight him but he never got the chance; as the guard passed over the bush that hid the Fast-Runner, he leapt from cover, seized the guard, cut his throat and concealed the body behind some bushes.

The Fast-Runner wiped his bloody knife with a leaf and strapped the knife to his leg once more. "Now what?"

"Head deeper into the valley." the Swimmer replied.

(OOC - As I mentioned in the discussion topic, unnamed characters can be killed by anyone.)

"My name's Lori, sir," the sharptooth youngster replied.

Kit12 · **Reply #206 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:37:13 PM

"The whole Valley?" Misty frowned as she asked, that sounded like alot of dinosaurs. Despite the situation, Kit giggled a bit, "Come on Misty, I'll help take you around to the nest of the people who aren't here" she offered, "Um, you can come to Strutt, Lori, if you want" the flyer next added, "might make everything easier on you guys introducing yourselves too".

Drake · **Reply #207 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:42:42 PM

"Okay," Lori said after a few seconds hesitation. She was unsure if she wanted to spend too much time with anyone in the valley. Her parents and her had often moved around and thus she had always been leaving behind friends. Recently she had deicded to stop trying to make friends and thus avoid the heartache that would come when she left them later.

Serris · **Reply #208 on:** February 06, 2009, 12:22:01 AM

"Hello, Lori. You too are welcome to stay here. However, I impose the same conditions I did on Deimos: no eating eggs or hunting dinosaurs in this valley. You may scavenge or hunt fish. And about this war, if you don't want to be involved, that is fine. Just avoid the entrances to the valley and stay out of the paths of the various patrols."

Longtail smiled and said, "Well I'm glad you're both here." commented Longtail with sincerity in his voice as he spoke to both Lori and Misty

Kit12 · **Reply #210 on:** February 07, 2009, 11:40:20 AM

Misty gave a small smile, "Thanks, I'm sort of glad to be here now that I am" she said. Kit laughed, "Yeah, no one can hate the Great Valley, and that's why we gotta make sure no group of sharteeth take it from us" she added in quiet determination.

Misty shrugged, "and apart from that serious reason, I gotta tell you", she pulled her stick from off her back to look at it, "getting to use these sticks to beat enemies up, I'm kinda taking to the idea" she grinned.

"Well, they're still clumbsy while flying, so I'll never get use to it" Kit shook her head, "I'm left with just diving down like I've always done...ok". She spotted the first inhabitant not at the meeting they came along.

"Oh...uh, did I say anyone, I would be the one to introducing her to them?" Kit asked Longtail as she spotted Mr. Clubtail munching sweet bubbles, much like he'd always been doing Kit mused.

"You're afraid to introduce me to the clubtail?" Misty asked. Kit frowned, "He's just...really grumpy, but I said I'd introduce you guys, so here we go!". Kit landed and walked up to begin introducing, still looking nervous.

Drake · **Reply #211 on:** February 08, 2009, 12:53:52 AM

"I'm afraid I won't be getting involved in your little war," Lori said, turning and following Kit and the others.

Lori paused as she spotted the clubtail. She decided to just stay put, safely out of range of the flattooth's tail and let Kit introduce her.

Serris · **Reply #212 on:** February 08, 2009, 01:20:14 AM

Deimos shrugged. "Okay Lori, you're still welcome to stay in the valley. Just stay away from any of the Great Valley patrols."

Chomper looked at Kit and Mist. "So are you two going to help or not? It's okay if you don't want to."

"Grandpa, what shall we do?" Littlefoot asked.

"Well Littlefoot, since you are not a kid anymore, I'll let you help defend the valley."

"Don't worry I will." Littlefoot stated.

"I'll help too." Deimos added.

"No sharpteeth are taking this valley!" Hyp exclaimed.

"I will die before letting anyone afficlated to Claw Valley enter the Valley,' fastclaw said.

Serris · **Reply #214 on:** February 08, 2009, 01:36:46 AM

Strut looked at Mr. Threehorn who was eying him with suspicion. "All right, I'll help defend the valley. I guess it's the least I can do for you letting me stay here. But, I really don't know how to fight."

Deimos looked at Strut. "Can you throw rocks?"

"Yes, but..."

"Good. I'll introduce you to close quarters combat later." Deimos said, cutting Strut off.

Kit12 · **Reply #215 on:** February 08, 2009, 02:06:30 AM

"Of course we are" Kit said, "so far as we're able, we're not letting our home just go to a bunch of Sharpteeth". Misty nodded.

"Sharpteeth, what's that?" Mr. Clubtail raised his head, "are we under attack again? Was it them?" he narrowed his eyes, spotting Misty and Lori.

"No, it wasn't them!" Kit got in front of the clubtail, "they're gonna help, or Misty is".

"Oh...well then very good for them, or Misty" Mr. Clubtail said dismissively, beginning to walk off.

"Wait" Kit flapped in front of him again, "I've gotta introduce you".

"What for, I heard their names" Mr. Clubtail said grumpily.

Drake · **Reply #216 on:** February 08, 2009, 02:16:55 AM

"He's right, leave him alone," Lori called to the flyer. She didn't want the clubtail to get riled up and if she had to guess from Misty's earlier attitude towards the flyer, she was quite capable of annoying people.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #217 on:** February 08, 2009, 08:13:13 AM

Longtail sighed as Mr. Clubtail began to walk off. He then mumbled under his breath. "Mr. Clubtail scares me...he's so unreasonable sometimes." said Longtail with a frown.

Kit12 · **Reply #218 on:** February 08, 2009, 11:25:50 AM

Kit sighed, but unlike Lori's worry, did drop the subject and watched as Mr. Clubtail wandered off. "Well, I still semi-introduced you, so...it worked" she allowed with a shrug, "he's just not very friendly".

"That seems the be the understatement of the cold time!" Misty muttered.

Drake · **Reply #219 on:** February 08, 2009, 04:54:42 PM

"He's about twenty times our size and covered in armor and spikes," Lori smirked. "Of course, he's scary."
