"Mayday, mayday! Look out below!" a voice called from above, a few seconds later a brown flyer, Roger, crashed into the ground next to Luke. He rolled once and ended up on his back. "Still have to work on those landings"

Fury had stepped away from the entrance to the cave as his sorrow, guilt and anger threatened to overwhelm the child. He slowly began to pull his feathers out of his body and only went faster at it the more he thought about his haunting past. However the more upset he became the more of his feathers changed to their midnight blue hue of color. After a few more moments he began to scratch as his face leaving several shallow cuts. Fury in a moment of anger filled emotion gave a loud, almost ear splitting roar that was deep, almost horrific and shook a few pebbles on the ground. He then gazed at the others at the mouth of the cave, both jealous and enraged. I ask for t-their help... and they... ignore me?! HOW DARE THEY!!!' thought Fury to himself.

The red flyer turned to Chomper. "I'll tell you guys about that later." Pterano sighed. "Now where was I? Oh yes. After that, well...I talked with my comrades and we plotted to go after the stone when the Night Circle shrinks. We were going to do that after we earned everyone's trust, but then Ducky came along..."

"What happened?" Artie asked.

"I-" Oh dear, here comes the hard part... "I kidnapped her."

"AAIEE!" Luke shrieked, his serene thoughts shattered by the brown figure crash landing next to him. Falling backwards and landing on his rump, he stared in shock at the flyer lying on his back. "Wha.. how... who are you?! You could have killed me!" he spluttered.

Petrie glanced down as this part came up.

At the commotion outside, Harper peered out and the young one's beak all but dropped. There was....something...out there. Something with Luke and Fury on the ledge, but she wasn't sure if it had to do with the glider and thought probably not.

Outside though, it was obvious whatever was going on with him wasn't a trick of the light and this somehow just scared Harper more.

She just stayed where she was, watching.

Chomper was too captivated by Pterano's tragic tale to notice all the commotion outside the cave.

"You kidnapped Ducky!?"

Chomper was flabbergasted by this. For a moment, he looked a lot more mean. He showed his teeth at Pterano, and growled for a second. Then he shook his head, and looked guilty.

"...sorry about that. I just kind of get that way when someone tries to hurt my friends."

Artie slapped him across the crest. "You kidnapped a child? Pterano, how could you?!?!" She crossed her arms around her chest and glared at him.

"I know...I know..." Pterano hung his head. This was way too painful for him. But Chomper deserved to know the truth. "So after a long night of flying, I took her and my comrades to a ledge to get some rest and things weren't going so well..."

"Why's that? Is it because of your foolish actions?" Artie snapped at him, slapping him a cross the crest once again.

(What? I had to add some humor to it!

Fury glanced over at the newcomer who'd landed on Luke and quickly bared his teeth and stepped forward clearly on the edge of deciding wether to attack the new flyer or not, but truth be told, his emotions were guiding him at this point, and nothing could be assured, or anyone considered safe. As he turned to speak, his voice echoed through the air and held an eerie, almost sinister tone and sounded almost exactly like a sharptooth. "You! Don't you dare move! Unless you like the feeling of death!" At this point all of Fury's feathers he hadn't pulled out, had changed color and he looked as crazy as he sounded.

*Somebody needs to help Fury!! He's getting very mad! I'm gonna go grab a quick nighttime snack, and have a couple of fish...I mean quick...i'll be back in about 2 posts after I leave to grab some fish..*

Jared was fascinated about Chomper. He'd never seen a talking sharptooth before. As Pterano continued telling his story, Jared wanted to quickly go grab a couple fish and have a snack, a quick nighttime snack. The big water was just below and not very far from the cave at all. Jared knew the way...little did he know that there was a brown rhamphorhynchus he had never met before that had just crash landed outside the cave, talking with Luke...

Jared whispered into Rinkus's ear softly...

"Umm, dad, if it's ok with you, could I please fly quick to the big water and grab a couple fish...I want to go get a little night snack. I promise, i'll be right back. The water's just outside the cave down below. I know right where it is."

"Sorry" Roger said to Luke and then shook his head and looked at Fury, his one blue eye staring into the Glider as there was a eye-patch made of leaf where his other eye should have been. "Your an angry one aren't you? What'ts got your tail in a twist?"

vonboy · **Reply #370 on:** June 20, 2011, 08:59:44 PM

Chomper noticed that Pterano was being silent for a while.

"What's wrong, Pterano? You don't want to finish the story?"

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #371 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:10:15 PM

Pterano snapped out of his thoughts. No matter how hard this was, Chomper deserved to know the truth, he reminded himself. "Yeah, I'm okay." He sighed again. "Ducky managed to sneak away from us and we chased her...for a little bit. And all of a sudden, she fell through a tiny whole in the ground. I swore, by my own life, she was dead." He let a few tears run down his eye. He just couldn't take it when he lost someone he was responsible. "When we chased your friends down that river, I couldn't feel more relieved that Ducky was safe. And at the same time, I was worried that my comrades would kill your friends if I didn't stop them. Didn't do a very good job though..."

Mama's Girl · **Reply #372 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:13:51 PM

As Pterano told of taking Ducky, Petrie had just stared at a spot on the floor, even as Chomper growled, but he glanced up as his uncle went on. "Y-yeah, him did try...me saw" the little flyer tried his best to defend his uncle, those times like these were hard.

Meanwhile from where she watched in fear, Harper somehow caught that this new flyer's words to Fury now were very, very dangerous. "F-Fury hold on" she stepped out. She was afraid every step she did. What was wrong with the gilder? Why, why was he acting like this.

Part of her knew. Miss Artie and even some of her attention had been shifted from some pain of his. She frowned. "Um, his tail's not in a bunch" she told the new flyer, "We...forgot. Sorry about that" she turned back to Fury, "My...my uncle, he...sort of...takes over people's attention sometimes. It, I don't think he can help it. but then...", seeing Fury's look again she paused, not sure what to say, or how to go on and even stepping back a bit in fear.

vonboy · **Reply #373 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:14:13 PM

Chomper had to let this sink in. So, he thought he killed Ducky? Then his two...comrades tried to hurt his friends, and Pterano tried to stop them? He was still pretty confused. How could someone change that quickly?

"So, you tried to stop them? What happened next?"

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #374 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:27:23 PM

"We crashed into a rock." Pterano chuckled a little. "And that stormy night, we spent the night in the mountains near Threehorn Peak which was where the stone landed. Sierra threatened he would finish off my nephew and his friends as soon as we reached the stone. Honestly, my first choice was to leave them for good, but then I figured out that if I did, they most likely would've gone after Petrie. So I stayed with them as much as it pained me to do so, because I knew I had to protect my nephew."

He looked down on his nephew, who was gazing up at him with utter shock and major admiration.

Pterano · **Reply #375 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:56:46 PM

Rinkus nodded, and gave Jared a pat on the back. "Well alright. There's enough of us around to keep an eye on you. Just don't go further than that for now. I'll keep an eye on you from the cave entrance." Rinkus moved over to the opening, and nodded at Jared.

He looked down at Chomper with some trepidation, but figured if he hadn't attacked by now, he wasn't going to. It was still strange to Rinkus, but he was getting used to it.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #376 on:** June 20, 2011, 10:29:00 PM

Fury watched as Harper landed next to Roger and he hissed at her. He took a step forward when she took a step back. He wanted nothing more than to lash out, strike something, and draw blood... but he stopped and stared at Harper for a moment. Fury then raised his wings and rushed forward, wrapping the flyer in a hug. He shut his eyes and despite his anger still being dominant, Fury shed a single tear, but said nothing.

Redtooth101 · **Reply #377 on:** June 20, 2011, 10:49:08 PM

Roger got to his feet and looked at Fury with a confused look, he decided it was best to leave him and Harper be for the while and turned to Luke. "Good day mate, names Roger, or Rog, or Ro if ya really lazy and want to make it short" he said doing what looked like a small salute.

Jrd89 · **Reply #378 on:** June 20, 2011, 11:24:14 PM

Jared went outside, and noticed Roger talking with Luke. "Oh, it's another longtail. he looks friendly." Jared thought in his head, as he smiled.

Then, he jumped into the air, and flew down to the water. It was time for a snack! "A-ha! There's a couple of fish." he said. He stuck his head in and grabbed two fish in his beak. Then, he flew back up to the cave and landed right in front of his dad with his beak still full.

Then, he swallowed his delicious snack. "Gulp! Ohh yummy! there's nothing like a little nighttime snack, dad

." said Jared to Rinkus, as he rubbed his tan belly.

"Oh, by the way.. I saw a new brown longtailed flyer talking to Luke outside. Don't worry though, he looks friendly."

Mama's Girl · **Reply #379 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:38:24 AM

Petrie just stared yet again. Everything was all swirling in his head. He wanted to believe this reason his uncle gave for having stayed with the others, wanted to so bad but the doubt and confusion was still there. Yet, as he gazed up at Pterano, he found that he did, for the most part, believe him. Slowly the hatchling smiled.

~~~~

Harper almost up and took to the sky as Fury rushed forward, but it turned out ok. He just...hugged her. Now even more confused and able to tell something was up, Harper slowly hugged him back. What [is wrong she wanted to ask, but couldn't make herself say anything.
