Footsteps echoed through the now empty hallways of the abandoned facility, heavy claws stepping and dragging on the cold tile marking its presence in the place. Its being was only visible through the dim, vibrant artificial light, with protruding fangs and yellow eyes. Its black, spotted fur took on a greenish color thanks to the reflection of the light, but it didn't bother him, this way he blended in better with the gloomy environment. The cautious Anteosaurus continued exploring and sear...

The snow arrived as the weather had threatened for days. It quickly covered the ground. Chrail and Öreis had, as luck would have it, prepared for the snow. They used the basement as a food storage but to access it you needed to go outside of the cabin and to the side of the cabin. If the snow was coming, they both agree, it would make it hard for them to access the food they had stored there - and if the four eggs that laid nestled in the bedroom on a pile of t...

Through cracked windows of an abandoned city, critters and creatures teemed and scavenged the ruins. The old buildings were overgrown with vines and trees, their roots breaking through asphalt and concrete, and spilling into the empty streets. Birds nested in rusted, lopsided cars, and fat rats darted between shaded alleyways. Bigger animals liked to shelter in abandoned warehouses and rummaging through trash could reveal interesting treasures. Amidst the bustling, Lyra stepped cautiou...

A warm breeze carried through the coastal cliffs, where jagged rocks and overgrown vegetation met the rocky shores and the seemingly endless ocean. High above, gulls and other seafaring birds called out, announcing the high of noon as they lazily made their circles.  In a sheltered cove beneath the cliffs, tucked away from the bustling colony above, little Timothy stood on a patch of soft, sandy ground. His crest was covered in an old victorian-style hat, firmly set on his head. The p...

Carpet and Pumpkin had been working hard. With ruffled feathers and exhausted wings, the two got into as much trouble as two little birds possibly could. Whether it was Carpet doing a silly dance to distract the very angry bird of prey while Pumpkin yanked out a feather and flew for her life to escape sharp claws, or Pumpkin dive-bombing the angry cervid while Carpet hauled off ...

Chrail and Öreis were taking the moment of no snow to head out. The snow barely covered the ground. It was at maximum a few centimeters above the ground. There were still patches of old grass peeking up, refusing to give in to the white blanket. Both Öreis and Chrail stood out in the now cold and white world. They had experienced the snowy landscape outside of the facility before. When they broke free of it the first time. The world had shifted from summer to ...

There was just a tiny bit of snow left on the ground. Blades of grass were trying to keep themselves high towards the sun but they were covered in heavy frost. Soon they would be completely covered in the white blanket that the weather constantly threatened with. It would be the time of hibernation for most creatures. The time where everything becomes just a bit more still around the forest. The birds would still sing but in a more contemptuous way rather than t...

The land was dotted with sparse snowed-in shrubs, tufts of stubborn yellowed grass, and the occasional tree standing sentinel against the vast sky. Amid this expanse stood Rixx. His white snout so deep in the ground even his nose horn threatened to be drowned in the snow. Anyone passing by would likely only see a dusty brown boulder, if it weren't for his six distinct horns at the edge of his frill breaking his rounded silhouette by the way he squatted down. Fin...

The midday sun cast dappled shadows across the snowy forest floor as heavy footfalls sounded through the trees. Riker, a dark-coated Styracosaurus with green splotches on his proud crest decorated with curved horns, trudged steadily forward, his stomach growling. The winter season had turned much of his usual grazing grounds into a  frozen or snowed-over wasteland. The rest of his herd had scattered and moved farther in search of food, only the parents and kids...

The dawn broke softly over the Isles, twins nestled between a vast aquamarine sea. Gentle waves lapped at the golden sands of the beaches, where crabs scuttled and sea turtles nested under the watchful gaze of the morning sun. Above the shoreline, the air was alive with the calls of seabirds and the steady crashing of the waves on the sandy shores. Airborne, just high enough to evade rocky spires jutting out of the ocean aside the sharp shore cliffside, Orchid d...

Regret- we've all had it. Bad choices and poor decisions turn into webs of trouble in their aftermath. For Reuger, his biggest regret was not one he ever thought he'd carry. Given his nature, he suspected that when the rubber met the road he'd be there for anyone who needed him... defend the innocent and the weak. To protect and serve. That was what he was raised to believe and he did think he upheld those values.  Yet, it was like yesterday - the day he more than just failed to uphol...

The salty breeze carried with it the cries of distant seabirds as Orchid soared over the sparkling expanse of the ocean. The sun was high, sprinkling the waves below in bright light and glitter. At these heights, overlooking the shores unbothered and free, he liked to believe he was a master of the skies and seas even just momentarily. Angling toward the shallows where the ocean floor rose to meet the reef below. These shallows were teeming with life. Schools of silvery fish darted thr...

Lyra skipped over flowering hillsides, inspecting the unfamiliar flora of the highlands. The sun was high and bright, promising good weather and lifting the pachy’s mood in an instant. One would think the nearby peaks of the island’s volcanoes would spread some of its warmth over neighbouring hillsides, but the higher altitude still made her feathers bristle with the cold air brushing against her coat. “Pay attention, Lyra,” the herd’s elder had said that morning before her d...

The night was long and cool, and the perfect time for swarms of bats to take flight into the dark expanse of the sky. An invasive species to the island (not that it was saying much in the shape it in), they had total dominance over the sky. While a few birds of prey existed that could easily swipe a bat out of the sky, flying at night helped avoid most of them. Not to mention this specific species of bat was one of the biggest known, flapping across the sky in s...

The night sky was already in full by the time the night pack emerged from their den. The air was cool and crisp, leaves from nearby trees already in the process of browning and falling from the branch. Night already was beginning so much sooner, meaning the pack could start their hunt even earlier into the day than usual. Comet, Silver, and Sirius had been eating well for the past few days. Herbivores were caught off guard by the early darkness, and the trio had...

Hyperion bellowed one last time at the backs of the retreating cryolophosaurus trio, his loud call traveling for miles and causing a cloud of silence to fall over the bustling farmland. Irritably, he shook his head. Of course they had escaped. Cowards. He had been looking forward to taking three more possible threats out. A puff of hot air came from his nostrils. This farmland was for them-...
