Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond

Fury gave a small blush as he coughed and replied, "Now Petrie. It wasn't just me. Everyone helped out to fight off Redclaw and his goons. Besides..." he paused for a moment before coughing again. "I still don't feel at my best." he said with a sigh as he stepped back through the hole from the side cavern into the main outlet of the cave.

"Well" Harper began as they climbed their way back out from the cavern, "then maybe you should...". She paused as she caught sight of Pterano over at the other end of the cavern cradling Devon. Apparently there had been casualties.

"What...what happen?" Petrie rushed over.

Devon lifted his head a little. "I-I can't remember-" he was cut off by Pterano placing a hand on his beak.

"Shh...don't speak. You're in too much pain to do that." The red flyer told him gently, pulling his head back on his chest. "Let me handle this." He turned to his nephew. "He was clawed in the chest by one of those stupid fast biters." he sighed. "I could've stopped them..."

Devon gazed up at him. "Dad, don't be so hard on yourself. You did your best."

Fury stepped over to Devon and Pterano with a frown. "A-are you... going to be alright Devon?" he asked quietly. He shed a single tear as he spoke again. "It should have been me to take the claw swipe... but I know with my sickness, I certainly would not have survived. But that's why you will... you are stronger and far more willful than I could hope to be." The young glider then stepped back his breathing dissolving into a fit of hacking coughs as his head swam, forcing him to lean against the wall and try to stay standing.

Mama's Girl · **Reply #704 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:57:17 AM

Harper moved closer now too, partly because she wasn't sure if Fury would stay standing, he looked....shaky. "S-should we go get him something..." she wondered with a frown, turning her worried glance over to Devon as well. "And...Fury, are you ok?". She wasn't sure who she felt was in worse straights at the moment.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #705 on:** August 15, 2011, 03:13:42 PM

Pterano all of a sudden stared in concern at the young glider. "Sickness? What sickness?" he asked in full worry. Devon stared at the young glider in concern as well. Was it just him, or was everyone getting sick around here. :blink: Finally, he spoke.

"Fury, don't say that about yourself. I'm the one that deserved the hit, not you. You are a good kid, Fury. You are." His worried look turned into a smile of reassurance as he continued speaking. "I'll be fine, I just need rest a few treestars that's all. It's not like that claw swipe pierced my heart or anything like that." Devon finished, letting out a chuckle.

Pterano couldn't help but smile down at his son. He always knew what to say, even in this condition. He was proud of him, but despite what Devon said, he was still worried, like any other parent would be. The red flyer just pulled the boy closer as Devon looked up at him with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine. I promise." With that, the blue flyer wrapped his arms around Pterano's middle, nuzzling his chest while doing so to prove his point.

Artie soared across the sky along with her tan friend, searching desperately for treestars, until she spotted a big tree with loads of them. "Oh! I know where we could get some good treestars! Fallow me!" With that she headed down to the ground for a landing.

Jrd89 · **Reply #706 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:48:41 AM

"You do?.. Cool!"

said Jared, smiling happily.

Then, he landed on the ground right along with Artie.

"All right Artie, i'm right behind you. Lead the way!

" said the tan rhamphorhynchus, looking at Artie with a big smile as he followed right behind her as they both made their way toward the big tree.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #707 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:58:59 AM

Fury couldn't help but grin as both Devon and Pterano showed sings of concern over his health. However his smile faded quickly as he began to cough for several moments again before finding enough air in his lungs to speak. "D-don't worry about me. I just stood too long outside in the skywater last night. I will be just..." the glider however never finished his sentence as his body still leaning against the wall gave into for it's need to rest and his mind was wrapped in the blanket of sleep.

The two flyers gasped as both of them broke out of eachother's embrace and rushed to Fury's side. "Rinkus, you watch over Devon and Fury...as well as these two," Pterano started, referring to Petrie and Harper. "I'll go find Jared and Artie? Right? Right." Without another word, Pterano took off to the skies.

Artie landed on a giant tree root, looking up at the tree itself. The tree was ginormous with it's 20 to 30 ft thick trunk and hieght rising up to 200 to 300 feet high. The pteranodon couldn't help but gasp at the sight. So many treestars... And ones perfect for healing wounds as well." Whoa...that is one big tree...Dude, Jared, check this out!"

But before Jared could say anything about the tree, Pterano zoomed right passed them, forgetting to slow down (again

: )as he smashed against the tree. "Ooof! I really gotta work on my velocity." the red flyer mumbled shrugging the dizziness off his shoulders as he turned to face Artie and Jared. "Guys, you might want to find more than just treestars. We have a very sick patient at the cave and he needs help PRONTO!!" Pterano exclaimed, breathing heavily.

Pterano · **Reply #709 on:** August 16, 2011, 10:34:16 AM

Rinkus nodded, and grabbed his tail in his typical nervous fashion, turning to look at the children he had now been assigned to watch. "Right... well you're with me for the time being." he said softly. "Hopefully he gets back here soon... not used to watching out for others, after all. Not since that swimmer..." he said, referring of course to Ducky.

Mama's Girl · **Reply #710 on:** August 16, 2011, 11:07:38 AM

Why it always seemed Fury was hanging on by a thread, Harper didn't know, but she hoped help could be found for both him and Devon. Meanwhile she just kept watch on both even if that was suppose to be Rinkus' job.

Petrie frowned a bit at the flyer's words, not sure if he would count the last time Rinkus was with Ducky as "watching", but the flyer was apparently being good now, so for the sake of that, he didn't say what he was thinking. "Well...we try not to wander" he instead tried out for attempting to talk to the flyer on a normal level and help put the past behind.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #711 on:** August 17, 2011, 01:08:48 AM

Despite the shallow breathing, the raging fever, and the odd angle at which his body sat still sleeping against the wall of the cave Fury was rather content as he wandered once more inside his own mind, not entirely sure when he'd wake up this time. He'd had days like this before, but now he was seeing his friends before him and some of them were blurred out, being almost impossible to see at all. I know I should be afraid... but I think... something important is supposed to happen... but I don't know when or why... maybe when I wake up I'll figure it out with my friends... he thought to himself. However, in his weakened state his body cried out feebly "H-h-help.... me..."

Redback opened his eyes as the roaring stopped. It had been such a fierce roar, it had practically knocked him out! He blinked a few times, but the red tinge that enveloped his vision wouldn't go away. The only thing that he could see through the red was the opening of the cave, and the three sharpteeth running away.

Still not finished!

The sharptooth got up and ran straight for the outside. At that same time, Tero was coming back into the cave from his perch outside, and entered just in time to apprehend his friend.

Redback snarled at Tero, as he skidded to a halt. Tero spread his wings wide across the entrance.

"Move it or lose it, Tero!" Redback growled menacingly.

Mama's Girl · **Reply #713 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:00:54 AM

Frowning as Fury mumbled, Haper placed a hand on the glider's forehead, but she wasn't even sure what she was feeling for or how to know if something was "up". She sighed, "Haopefully they get back soon".

Jrd89 · **Reply #714 on:** August 21, 2011, 03:17:37 AM

Jared was startled a little by Pterano's arrival.

"Whoa! We DO, Pterano? Artie and I were just about to gather treestars to help heal Devon.

But please tell us... Who's sick? and what can we bring for them as well as the treestars for Devon? Artie and I will do whatever we can to help Devon as well as whoever's sick... right Artie?" said Jared, turning to the female pteranodon.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #715 on:** August 21, 2011, 03:34:32 AM

"It's Fury, he's sick, but I don't know what with. Oh, I hope he didn't catch my disease..." Pterano drifted off, placing a hand over his heart. "Quickly! I don't know what kind of plant that Joe gave me, but I do know where we can find those. Bring the treestars you have and follow me!" Pterano took off into the air, but not leaving the two behind.

"Well, you heard the flyer! Let's go!" Artie told Jared, taking off into the air next to Pterano.

--------------------------------------

Devon coughed, laying against the wall, as an awkward silence closed inbetween them. "So...Rinkus...how long have YOU known Pterano?" he asked the pink flyer.

Jrd89 · **Reply #716 on:** August 21, 2011, 03:41:29 AM

Jared took the treestars he picked and took off, flying right behind Artie.

"Don't worry Artie, i'm right behind you!... We'd better hurry! We don't have much time!"

Allicloud · **Reply #717 on:** August 21, 2011, 04:10:01 AM

Tero wouldn't budge. He knew that Redback was still under the influence of Redwrath, so he wasn't really thinking straight. Let loose, he could do some damage.

Redback snarled again. He knew it was his friend trying to stop him, but he wouldn't be stopped. "One last chance Tero! I'm going after them and you can't stop me!"

But Tero was adamant. He stood his ground, wings held wide.

"Fine."

In a single, fluid motion, Redback strode towards his friend, grabbed his by the wing, and threw him against the cave side. The entrance clear, he headed down to the Valley floor at top speed, eager to be in the chase again.

Pterano · **Reply #718 on:** August 21, 2011, 11:36:55 AM

Rinkus thought about this. "A few years I suppose. First met him out in the Mysterious Beyond. No idea why I was so taken with the idea of following him... BUT... at the same time, I saw it as convenient too. I was nothing but an outcast before that... so perhaps I could use him to elevate my own position, yes? That's what I thought at least. Almost worked too... 'cept he wasn't as er... guess I should stop talking about this topic now." he said, realizing he would probably end up just saying negative things about Pterano. "Well either way, didn't quite work out." the pink flyer said, rolling his eyes.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #719 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:26:58 PM

"Oh...that's cool." Devon sighed. "So...how about you and Jared? You too seem to be really close. I'm just wondering, how have you two met?"

-------------------------------------

The three flyers soared through the air. "Come on, guys. We're almost there." Pterano shouted, flying faster. They ended up landing in a grassy plain full of flowers. "Ah...here we are. Now all we have to do is search for the ones with the yellow flower petals with pink spots. Start looking! We don't have much time!" the red flyer ordered, immediately beginning his search afterwards.
