Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

(Okay guys I think its time to call it a night)

Pterano nodded politely at Sierra before laying down. "Whew, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired."

"Uhh...me too." Devon agreed, watching as Sierra laid himself down by the wall. Devon without a word laid himself down next to his father, nuzzling him before slowly drifting off into a sleep.

Pterano watched this. As happy as he felt for Devon for he and his dad finally found peace with eachother, he couldn't help but feel lonely. He sighed.

(Mama's Girl, could you have Petrie cuddle with Pterano? And Harper too...if she'd like? He's very lonely and I'm sure he'll appreciate it. And Vonboy, could you have Chomper cuddle with Pterano as well?)

Mama's Girl · **Reply #461 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:45:24 AM

(Oh no worries, that's what I had planned)

As the fish was all brought in, Harper noticed Petrie looking a bit hesitant. Truth be told, she completely understood the sentiment. They were fully aware of a flyer's ability to eat fish, of course, but...well the two had alway stuck to green food even before entering the Great Valley and then while in it the habit had only been further developed.

Harper was going to pass, munching on some leaves she'd found off a nearby bush and got for her and her brother, but she could tell why Petrie was hesitating. He wanted to try it, wanted to prove he could eat fish just like Uncle Pterano.

"maybe..." he began to her.

"You know you'll throw up" Harper bluntly whispered to her brother to which he just sighed, knowing she was right. "Don't worry, we're not weird, it's just...a habit thing" she went on to reassure.

As the two kids finished up and found themselves yawning even now, the adults seemed to get the same idea and begin to settle down. Petrie walked over to where Pterano was, looking a bit down he noticed. The hatchling had an idea why that could be.

Harper signalled to Chomper that he could walk over too as she followed her brother.

"Um, Uncle Pterano..." Petrie asked, tugging lightly on the flyer's wing, "You think...maybe...me sleep by you?".

"Yeah, the both of us and Chomper, if he wants" Harper said, walking up as well and smiling first to the sharptooth and then her uncle.

Jared yawned. "Hoooaaaaahhhhummmmm.... I'm getting tired, too Pterano. Yeah, Petrie and Harper really should sleep with you. They're your nephew and niece after all!

and there'll be enough room for Chomper to sleep with you, too."

"Don't worry about me, though Pterano. I know who i'm sleeping with tonight. heh heh heh!

" said Jared, as his beak turned into a huge, toothy grin. Then, he turned to his pink dad, still smiling, and winked at him.

Chomper yawned, and walked over to where Petrie and Harper had already laid down. He snuggled against both of the young flyers, and drifted off to sleep.

**Just a reminder, everyone (especially Pterano the user), before I go to bed I need to massage Rinkus, then he'll massage me...then, we'll go to sleep..i'll snuggle right up to Rinkus...and slip out a tiny little high-pitched "pft!" fart...too small to even smell.... and only Rinkus and I will hear it. It'll be that quiet. We'll both snicker at each other.. and have a funny little father/son moment before I snuggle my head up to his nice, warm, pink belly, and fall asleep listening to his heartbeat.

. That's my plan, guys.**

"'Night, Chomper." Jared told the little purple sharptooth.

Pterano looked down at Petrie's sleepy eyes and chuckled, opening an arm. "Aww...come here, little nephew." Pterano whispered as Petrie climed right on top of his uncle's chest and rested his head on his neck ring, snuggling up against his neck.

Pterano chuckled as he wrapped his arms around his nephew before bring up Harper and Chomper against his chest. He smiled at the sleepy children and all of a sudden, that gash of loneliness was no longer in him, but was replaced by utter happiness. He tightened his arms securely around the children, pulling them closer so they could listen to his heartbeat. "Goodnight, children..."

Tero rested his back on the wall, watching the others all drift off to sleeep. All except him, of course. He never slept. He just sat there, eyes wide open, waiting for the dawn. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep. He was tired beyond belief, as he always was, resulting in his half-dead appearance. But he knew that if he slept, He would come back for him.

Fury nearly jumped out of his feathers when he heard Roger speaking to him. The young glider turned his head for a moment and through saddened eyes let a few tears fall, despite the rain and he shivered as he replied, "I'm... just cold. C-can I come into the cave now?"

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #468 on:** June 23, 2011, 03:29:14 PM

Now Artie saw her chance. She walked right over towards Fury and opened her arms. "Of course you can, little guy. You're always welcome here. Come here." she drifted off, waiting for the young glider to jump into her arms.

Luke leaned with his back against the wall, watching the others settling down. It had been a busy day, and whenever he was busy he could never sleep. Wandering over to the cave entrance, he sat down to look at the rain falling from the sky.

He noticed Tero, who was also awake. "You're not going to sleep? Actually, that doesn't suprise me... Are you okay? You look kind of worried."

Mama's Girl · **Reply #470 on:** June 23, 2011, 07:52:03 PM

Petrie smiled, nestling up beside Pterano and drifting off first even as Harper and Chomper also climbed over. "Thanks" Harper smiled, "Night everyone" she said to whoever would hear it even as she drifted off.

"Of course lad, not gonna have ya ou' here freezing" Roger said as he opened a wing and held it over Fury's head to block the rain.

Pterano · **Reply #472 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:30:40 PM

((this may be my last post in this thread for a bit. I'm going to Disney for my 25th Birthday in a few days, and will be busy from tomorrow on. I'll be back next Thursday, a week from today, so I just hope I don't get left TOO far behind.

Trulyfantasticme can have my characters after I'm gone, and hopefully I can pick them back up when I get return.))

Sierra felt Devon moving up against him, and he reacted with surprise initially, and then wrapped his wing around his son. "Aww... well goodnight Devon." he said, absolutely caught off guard by this move. He had been expecting Devon to go with Pterano, so this was a pleasant end to his evening, and he smiled as he closed his eyes, patting his son on the back.

Rinkus wished everyone else a good night along with Jared, and went over to his part of the cave. "Well then, I suppose I'm going first in this massage, right?" Rinkus asked, lying down flat on his belly and stretching his wings forward and letting his tail drape limply on the ground.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #473 on:** June 24, 2011, 01:14:01 AM

Fury began to step towards Artie, but as he did every single step he took became harder, and harder to take, almost as if he had a rock on his back making it difficult to walk at all, but after what felt like a whole cold time, he finally wrapped his wings around Artie. Still shivering and feeling just as heavy as before Fury looked up into her eyes. "T-thank you.... f-for not... giving up on... me." he commented softly as fell into a deep sleep.

Jrd89 · **Reply #474 on:** June 24, 2011, 02:28:39 AM

"Ok, dad, here we go." said Jared.

Jared placed both his claws flat on Rinkus's pink back, applied just enough pressure..not too much, just enough so his dad would have a relaxed massage.

And so, Jared began rubbing in a circular motion...up his dad's back...down his dad's back...up....and down.....up...and down. Jared made sure he got every spot... "Well dad, how am I doing so far? Doesn't that feel good?

Where to next? How about if I do your wings?"

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #475 on:** June 24, 2011, 02:33:36 AM

Rinkus shivered at Jared's touch at first, then he sank into it, relaxing as he closed his eyes. "Mmm...oh yeah, that feels good." he muttered. "Mmm...oh yeah...oh yeah...that feels so good...you can do whatever you want next, Jared. I don't care as long as I'm relaxed." he let out a chuckle.

Artie chuckled, watching the kid fall asleep in her arms. "You're welcome, young one." She leaned herself against the wall, keeping the kid against her chest and fell asleep that way with a smile on her face.

Tero looked over to Luke. Not the only one awake then, he thought. That's a relief.

He shook his head at Luke, as his eyes darted furtively to the cave entrance. he wanted to tell him. He wanted to get it off his mind, but he'd lost his voice a long time ago.

Throwing caution to the wind, he got up off the wall and scootched across the cave and sat next to Luke. As he sat down, he noticed a slight size difference, with him being slightly taller, and much thinner.

As he pulled his wings around him, he still remained ill at ease, his eyes darting to the entrance every now and then.

Jrd89 · **Reply #477 on:** June 24, 2011, 03:10:09 AM

Jared smiled. "Oh. Ok, then, dad. Just keep relaxing..and leave it to me. I'm gonna do your arms and wings next" he said.

Jared rubbed Rinkus's left shoulder in the same small-circle motion...out to his elbows...then to his wrists..till Jared got to his claws..then he did the same to Rinkus's right arm...

after that...Jared rubbed the much thinner lair of skin that made Rinkus's big pink wings...Jared rubbed his dad's wings very gently...

"Ok, dad. Now your tail. Heh heh...this might tickle a little bit. Hee hee.." said Jared, giggling and grinning.

He then rubbed his dad's tail with just his fingers, very softly and gently....He knew the tail can be pretty sensitive in a long-tail flyer..

"Ok, this might tickle, dad.. your ankles and feet are next." said the tan flyer. As he rubbed some extra pressure on Rinkus's feet.

Jared knew (at least he though personally) that both a flyer's wings and feet are themost enjoyable and relaxing parts of a massage...it always feels so good getting your sore, tired wings and feet massaged after a big day of flying, and walking around.

Then, Jared went on to Rinkus's ankles and rubbed them really good and firm.

"All right..and finally, your neck, dad!" he told Rinkus.

Jared went back to rubbing with the firmer pressure he used to massage Rinkus's back and arms earlier... he started at Rinkus's soft, fluffy white neck ring (and it felt very soft, too

).and sloooowly and carefully moved his way up his dad's neck.

"All right dad. I think i'm done. Now, wasn't that relaxing? Am I a good massager?" Jared asked to Rinkus. He wanted to make sure his dad was very relaxed and very happy with the way he just massaged him.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #478 on:** June 24, 2011, 03:12:52 AM

"Oh yeah, that was amazing, son. Is it your turn now?" Rinkus asked, yawning.

Jrd89 · **Reply #479 on:** June 24, 2011, 03:37:10 AM

Jared grinned. "Yes, it is, dad." said Jared, laying down on his belly, with his tan wings spread out, and draped his tail on the ground, letting it go limp and relaxed.

He sighed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....ok, dad. All set. Whenever you're ready." Jared said, as he closed his eyes and relaxed his body completely.
