Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

"Tero, be a sport and go see where those other flyers went off to, will you?" Zin asked.

Tero nodded, clambering over his claw towards the ledge. As he passed Redback, he stamped on the sharptooth's tail.

"EE-YOW!" Redback roared, doubling up in pain. As the flyer walked by, Redback snarled and lunged at him, but Tero nimbly took to the air and flew off to find out just where Pterano's party went.

Redback angrily kicked at a nearby rock, sending it off the cliff's edge. He stomped into the cave and sat down in a huff.

Luke sniggered at Redback. "That looked like it hurt..." Noticing the black weeds hung on the sharptooth, he remembered what he had been wondering before. "Oh yeah, I meant to ask earlier. You and Tero wear those weeds - what do they mean? Are you in some kind of club?"

"I thought so" Harper giggled again.

Petrie smiled, flapping over, "Well me no think Uncle Pterano got big head" he said.

"How'd I know you'd say that" Harper sighed but smiled at her brother.

Pterano broke the hug and walked around his new sculpture. "Is my head really that big?" he asked Devon in a quiet voice so Petrie and Harper can't hear.

"That's because you're a genius. And genius's always have big heads." Devon told him, smirking.

Pterano smirked back, ruffling the boy's head. "You always know what to say, dontcha son?"

"Oh I try." the blue flyer blushed.

Chomper spent quite a while staring in awe at the sculpture. IT took him awhile to think of somethign to say.

"Wow, I really like it Devon! It looks just like Pterano!"

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #545 on:** June 28, 2011, 09:20:23 PM

"Why, thank you, my good sir!" Devon chuckled. "I'd say it would make quite the masterpiece myself." Pterano must've rubbed off on me in the last few years... he thought to himself.

Pterano just kept admiring the sculpture. "Hmm...I look good..." he chuckled, shaking his head. "Don't I, Devon."

Devon just rolled his eyes and smiled.

: "Yes, you look good, Dad."

"I'll say you look good!"

Chomper's stomach started growling again.

"Thanks Chomper," Pterano said, before realizing that he heard CHomper's stomach growl and he began to get a little freaked out. He just ignored the feeling, reminding himself that Chomper is a friend of Petrie's and would never do anything to harm anyone.

"Is there any good fish in this pond here? I'm getting kinda hungry again."

"Help yerself," Devon replied.

Fury leaned against the wall of the cave as he spoke. "Lets just say, my sleep stories gave me some good advice that I'm taking to heart." He then sneezed hard and his head slammed into the wall behind him, making his eyesight go blurry. "Ow..." he moaned as he leaned forward and cradled the back of his head. After a few moments, he felt dizzy and tired. "I... don't feel well..." Fury then slowly lowered himself to the floor and shuddered.

Redback looked up at Luke. Holding up an arm, he let the strands of black grass hang limp, as he gazed at them.

"Oh, these are from a long...long time ago. Tero and I used to know a couple other dinosaurs out here, around our age. We did everythin' together, hanging out, hunting, playing, generally lookin' out for eachother. We used these black weeds as a sort of symbol. We found heaps of 'em growing nearby to where we all first met, and it sort of stuck... Heh, and since I was the leader, I had the most." He added, rustling the weeds hanging from his arms.

He sighed, as if reminiscing on times gone by "The Blackweed Brotherhood, we called ourselves...Those were the days...At least, before... *sniff* before the raptors..."

Redback buried his head in his arms as he suddenly began to sob quietly. It was a strange sight alright, a sailback sharptooth, a creature known for ferocity and brutality, crying.
For a moment, he could only sob for the memory of his friends. Eventually he got his emotions under his control and continued.

"... It..it was horrible. Tero and I were the only ones who got away from that, and Tero didn't exactly survive entirely... You've seen what he's like? Well, he used to be not unlike you, Luke."

With that, he buried his head in his arms, returning to his silent weeping.

Pterano circled his sculpture one last time, smiling. He noticed one thing and that was the fact that it was all silent around him. He smirked. "Say, does this sculpture make my butt look big?"

That earned a big laugh from everyone around him.

Luke stared in shock at Redback, as the large sharptooth shook with grief. "I'm... sorry. I wouldn't have brought it up if I knew. Well, at least you and Tero got away...".

As Luke stepped forward to try and console him, he heard Fury sneeze, and then a sharp crack. Turning, he saw the glider hold the back of his head in pain, then collapse to the floor and begin to shudder. "Oh jeez..." Luke muttered, scatching the back of his head as he glanced from the sobbing Redback to the convulsing Fury.

Redback sniffed "I-it's okay...You take care of the kid. I just need a moment..."

He got up and headed deeper into the dark recesses of the cave and sat down on his own.

Zin watched the scene from his spot outside, peering over the ledge into the cave. He sighed and shook his head, saying to himself "Poor kid... We hate to see a kid fall apart like that."

He turned his gaze skywards to watch Tero, hovering on an air current, surveying the area. Zin looked back to the cave, and was suddenly struck with an idea.

"We'll get him something to cheer him up. We know his favourite food, and there's plenty around."

The old dinosaur headed down the valley towards the grove, seeking out the choicest of meaty food. Lizards would probably be out of the question, with flyers still in the cave, but they won't grudge him a few fish!

vonboy · **Reply #555 on:** June 30, 2011, 12:49:04 PM

Chomper just stared back at the flyers.

"But...I don't really know how to catch fish."

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #556 on:** July 01, 2011, 12:25:00 PM

Pterano chuckled. "Well, just a few more minutes and we'll all go fishing. Cool?"

"Sounds good to me, Dad." Devon agreed, placing his arm on Pterano's shoulder.

bushwacked · **Reply #557 on:** July 02, 2011, 09:06:56 AM

Luke nodded, and approached Fury unsurely. "Uh... you okay?" he asked, stooping over and poking him with his claw. There was no response. Deciding it was probably better to get him off the hard rock floor, he picked Fury up and looked around the cave.

"Shift up," he told Jared, nudging him aside as he placed the small glider on Rinkus' bed of leaves.

Mama's Girl · **Reply #558 on:** July 03, 2011, 06:50:34 PM

"Yeah, and me learn how catch them better" Petrie said. Whether or not he'd be trading treestars for fish any time soon, it would still be a useful skill if he was going to help watch out for Chomper for however long he could do that, like he'd told Littlefoot.

Jared moaned, still half-asleep.. "Zzzzzz..mmmff? mmmkay, Luke." said Jared very sleepily, as he scooted over a bit to make room for Fury. Then, he laid back down, snuggled up to Rinkus and went back to sleep.
