**Aww man. I got lost again...when I left for work this afternoon it was on page 20..and when I came home... it was on page 22.

Ok, I know Sierra is watching Devon make a sculpture of himself...and Devon just started making one of Pterano.. Now Pterano is feeling very sad because Devon is hanging around Sierra more than him.

When I landed in front of Rinkus when I grabbed my fish snack, I flew back to the cave and landed right in front of him. If I read right...Rinkus went to grab some fish for himself and then fly back to me in Pterano's cave. I think Artie, Chomper, and Fury are in the cave, too.

Can someone just remind me where everyone is at and what I should/could do next. Rinkus and I still have that bedtime massage to do.

I wonder if it's getting close to bedtime in the story..... Can someone just tell me where everyone's at and what I could do next?

Okay, I'll try.

Pterano just got finished telling his story about the stone of cold fire.

Fury is hugging Harper.

It started raining and Chomper's sleeping in the cave. (Not now, but later on)

That's all I can remember.

Pterano · **Reply #442 on:** June 22, 2011, 12:49:35 AM

((Rinkus is in the cave as well, as he brought back fish for Chomper. Sierra and Devon are off building some sculptures and will return soon.))

Jared peeked his head outside the cave and let Luke and Roger know he was back.

"Hey, Luke. I'm back. I don't think you saw me when I got back here to the cave. Don't worry, I made it back ok. Why don't you bring your brown friend inside the cave, too. Come on in, you two. I hate seeing both of you standing out in the skywater getting soaked."

Then Jared looked at Roger. "By the way, my name's Jared. Both of you, come on in, dry off, and meet my dad and the gang. You'll love them." said Jared, as he walked back into Pterano's cave, motioning his wing at Luke and Roger to follow him in.

Once Jared entered the cave, he walked right up to Rinkus and said. "Hey dad, our new brown long-tailed flyer is coming in here with Luke right now

. We all should give him a nice welcome." said Jared, smiling at his dad. "I'm also happy to hear that Chomper liked the fish you brought him."

Pterano · **Reply #444 on:** June 22, 2011, 10:08:38 AM

Sierra nodded as he thought that over. "I'd say that'd suit me just fine. I'm not much for mornings, but I know Pterano is even less so, so gettin' up before him shouldn't be too much of a hassle." the cearadactylus confessed. He flew up into the sky water, and zoomed low over the lake, scanning for suitable catches. Upon seeing one, he dove upon it, snapping it up in his hungry jaws and bringing it back to the shore. Dropping it down, he began to go to work on it, and turned to see how his son was doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rinkus nodded. "Oh yes, that young sharptooth rather did enjoy it. I was glad I could get him SOMETHING, because well... he was looking a little hungry, and not that I don't trust him, but he IS a... well..." He trailed off, shaking his head and not wanting to say too much. "Anyway, I'm glad his appetite's been appeased."

Harper watched as Fury walked further away again, just still wondering what all was going on. She'd have yanked him inside out of the skywater if she thought it worth-while, but she could tell she'd done about all she could for the moment so she walked back into within the shelter of the caves again. Shaking the water off she glanced back outside to where Tero was too. He was coming in too, right? Oh well, only his friends could make him do that.

Harper turned to where Petrie and Chomper were once more. "Yeah Chomper" Petrie was telling his friend, "we give you spot right next where we sleep".

"Speaking of that" Harper walked over, "I can sort of tell that besides Miss Artie it's all boys here, these nest are...well...shambly as mom would say. I'm thinking they need some fixing".

"If we just sleeping on them who care?" Petrie asked her.

"Cool, now let's get going, shall we?" Devon said, taking off towards the Big Water, fallowed by Sierra.

A sudden gust of wind blew the leaves from Zin's hand, exposing the sleeping Redback to the elements. He stirred as he felt the patter of rain on his snout and woke up.

He grunted as he looked about, and gazed up at the caves where the Flyers were staying. They must all be so warm in there, all crowded together...mmm, self-cooked flyers...
He turned his gaze up to Tero, still perched on his ledge. Wasn't he ever gonna come back down?!
Suddenly, a malicious grin stretched across his face. Standing up and pushing Zin's arm aside, he stooped down and grabbed a small pebble and hurled it with all his strength at Tero.

He smiled in satisfaction as he heard the juicy KLUNK as it struck him right in the beak. The flyer slipped from his perch and slid down the mountainside until he landed with a CRUNCH on the ledge just outside the cave. He watched as Tero got stirred. He wasn't hurt, luckily, and it looked like he had little clue what happened.

Getting up off the damp ground of the ledge, he looked into the cave, wherein sat most of the flyers. Shrugging, he took a breath and went inside and shook the water from his skin and sat down, still keeping apart from the others.

"Thanks Petrie!" He turned to Harper.

"Really? It's that messy? I didn't really notice!"

He was starting to get sleepy after a long, eventful day.

Pterano · **Reply #449 on:** June 22, 2011, 07:41:15 PM

Sierra nodded, and took off, heading back for the sea, and their cave. He made sure to scoop up some fish in his beak for Pterano, and in case Chomper needed an extra snack before bed. They wriggled in his mouth a little, but he was able to keep them contained, and reached the cave about ten to fifteen minutes after setting out.

"Here you go, Pterano. Food." He let the fish out of his mouth onto the ground, and looked over at Chomper. "There's some for you too if you want any. Wasn't sure if you'd eaten yet, or not." he stated, unaware that Rinkus had in fact brought him some food earlier on.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #450 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:20:25 PM

The first thing Devon did when they reached the cave, he attacked Pterano with a big hug around the neck. "Happy early starday, Dad!"

Pterano hugged the boy back tightly. He didn't care about his upcoming star day, he just cared that his beloved adopted son was safe. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he asked frantically, cupping his cheek.

"No, silly goose," Devon laughed. "We had a blast! My dad's really cool now that he isn't abusing me anymore!"

Pterano just hugged him again, kinda like a worried mother would do to her child. "I'm so glad your okay..."

Sierra rolled his eyes at this as he held out the fish for Pterano. The two flyers broke the big emotional hug and Pterano turned to Sierra, taking the fish and stuffing it in his mouth. "Thank you."

vonboy · **Reply #451 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:28:02 PM

Chomper grabbed one of the fish that the flyer brought back and ate it whole.

"I should eat what I can eat. Out here, you never know when you'll get to eat again!"

Mama's Girl · **Reply #452 on:** June 22, 2011, 08:29:57 PM

"Of course you didn't notice, you're a boy" Harper told Chomper, yet with a grin to show she didn't mean any insult, "Actually they're not that bad I suppose". Harper rearranged and straightened a few leaves and twigs here and there but otherwise left everything alone.

As he caught what Devon said, Petrie whirled about, "It you starday tomorrow?! How me not know that!".

Harper laughed, "Petrie you almost forgot my starday last time, and we have the same one!". Her brother grimaced, "Oh yeah..." he turned back to Pterano, "Well me still gonna come up with some surprise".

"Except that you just told him about it" Harper pointed out.

Fury stood in the rain, letting the cold skywater run across his feathers and down his face. With each drop his anger lessened and his wounds stung with every drop of water. He looked down at a reflection of himself in a puddle and gave a sad, weeping sigh. The poor glider wanted nothing more than to break down and cry for all he'd gone through, but he couldn't, because deep down inside, Fury still felt like a monster... too different and dangerous to be around anyone else, but... he still wanted to show that he wanted compassion and friendship. "H-help me...." he whispered to himself, knowing that the odds of the others hearing him were almost none.

Redtooth101 · **Reply #454 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:12:20 AM

Roger looked at Fury and thought to himself. "I'll be in in a minute" he said to Luke and Jared before slowly approaching Fury. "'Ello lad, something eatin' ya?" he spoke still standing a good distance away.

Allicloud · **Reply #455 on:** June 23, 2011, 02:54:55 AM

Tero watched on hungrily as food was brought in by some of the flyers. Licking his beak, he wanted to ask if he could have one. Curse this muteness of mine.

He got up and approached the group. Sheepishly he pointed to one of the leftover fish, and back to himself, repeating the gesture a few times to make sure they get the message.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #456 on:** June 23, 2011, 03:01:43 AM

Pterano noticed Tero as he held his last fish in his hand. He smiled and walked right towards the silent flyer. "Here you go, young one." He told him softly.

Allicloud · **Reply #457 on:** June 23, 2011, 03:08:17 AM

Tero took the fish from Pterano's hand, glancing into the older flyer's eyes briefly before squatting on the ground. He devoured the fish hungrily, holding it by the head and tail like a corncob, until the last remnants were a skeleton with a fishy head and tail, and some spatters of slime on his beak.

bushwacked · **Reply #458 on:** June 23, 2011, 03:20:42 AM

Luke shrugged and left Roger to talk to Fury. As he entered the cave, he was met with a familiar sweet smell. "Oh good, fish," he said to himself, clasping his hands. As he bent down to pick one up, he noticed Sierra and Devon seemed closer than before. Damn, he thought, it would have been more fun if there'd been a confrontation between Sierra and Pterano. For him, at least.

Pterano · **Reply #459 on:** June 23, 2011, 04:33:37 AM

"Uh yeah, sure thing Pterano, whatever you say. You asked for the fish after all, so here's your dinner." he stated casually, as if he figured Pterano would quickly forget this act.
