Church and Cujo had been apart for a few weeks after a particularly nasty argument, not over anything important, just a side effect from being in each other's faces for a prolonged period of time. It didn’t dampen their affections for the other and once they had spent some time apart their hearts yearned for the company of the other. Having moved past their previous frustrations they were ready to reconnect again.    Church was the first to start looking for Cujo, despite hi...

The marshes sang with the voices of insects and the creak of trees swaying in the evening winds. Above them, the dusky sky dimmed into violet, and the cries of distant herds echoed across the low plains. At the very heart of this land lay a hollow ring of cliffs, and within that stone embrace sprawled the Court of the Dinosaurs, a place spoken of in murmurs, half in reverence, half in dread.It was not a court of humans, nor a court bound in silks and banners, but one of scales, feathers...

Beak to the ground, Marsh pushed his head forwards, gouging a groove into the soil as he moved along. Having left the Atlantean dome, the green Styracosaurus was hard at work on another task- helping to plant seeds. Skittering along behind him, Vee lowered her head to inspect the earth, the green and black Oviraptor ruffling her feathers slightly.   And, walking along beside them, tall and imposing, was�...

Heavy footsteps thudded into the soft earth, followed by a pair of smaller, skittering ones- gangly, feathered forms following behind a bulkier, more cumbersome dinosaur, using his crest to push the undergrowth aside as he continued along. Marsh wasn’t a native of Atlantis- far from it, in fact. The green-scaled Styracosaurus stood out like a sore thumb amongst the typical inhabitants of the dome, unable to avoid the suspicious, passing glances of any crowds as h...

It was the seventh day in their sad little room before good news finally came. Mary and Mintee were curled up as usual, Bassoon in the beams overhead. Over the days they had been locked up, they had managed to slowly earn more and more of the Atlanteans trust- and they had, in return, been slowly allowed to make their room more and more comfortable. They had a bed now, made of various harmless plant material that they had gathered and that the scouts had gifted ...

Words were spread across the lands that tributes needed to be made for the court or else something bad may occur. It made every life frantic in trying to figure out what to do.There needed to be tributes paid to the court so everyone would be on good terms with the court. However, who was to say whether it was really a good or bad thing.Nightingale has heard about an abandoned castle somewhere in the middle of the isles. She was terrible at directions but could figure ...

There was news through the grapevine within the isles that there was something special going on. The court was looking for dinosaurs with special skill sets and that they would need to demonstrate said skill.Out of curiosity, Nightingale was wondering what she could provide. Her mind raced as she trekked through the forest and into an opening of a variety of floral. The colors and smells of the flowers tickled her nostrils as her mind exploded with ideas.Various though...

The court of Stone and Scale was not a place one stumbled into lightly. Its halls were carved into the sides of a mountain, their walls glittering with veins of crystal and veins of metal, each vein mined and polished by countless claws over the centuries. The air smelled of age, iron, damp stone, and the musk of great beasts that had lingered here for generations. Torches lined the archways, their flames guttering against the draft of high cavern ceilings, casting long shadows that stretched...

The court’s hall was never meant to feel welcoming.It stood carved from dark stone, the kind that seemed to drink light instead of reflecting it. Shadows stretched across the walls like tapestries, broken only by shafts of pale firelight caught in crystal sconces. The courtiers themselves, long-necked, bright-eyed, adorned in silks and polished metals, watched every arrival with a blend of fascination and suspicion. For newcomers, trust was not given freely. Trust was a treasure locke...

Beautiful. At its heart, the dome built up from the ocean floor populated by lethal life and sealed away for so long was beautiful. Vibrant, lush greenery filled most of the dome, consuming that which the humans had left behind. Most of the buildings were almost swallowed entirely, invisible unless you knew where to look. What plants weren’t green were other brilliant hues ins...

Dusk glowed behind the curtain of water, causing light to dance upon the surface of the rocks like glittering insects. It was beautiful. The cool stones and rushing water provided protection, not just from prying eyes, but also from the ever present humidity that permeated the biodome. It was a welcome relief to Eira who flopped into the cold stone below her and stretched her little body, basking in the welcome reprieve from the dense humidity.  ...

“You’re telling me you don’t have nannies?” Doe stared at the iguanodons before her, perplexed at such a concept. Within the herds of parasaurolophus ‘nannies’ were incredibly common, a trusted and seasoned herd members tasked with guarding the young while the parents were busy. The thought of not having such assistance despite being surrounded by herdmates didn’t ...

Cinnamon shook dust from her feathers, a cloud of grayish brown against the vibrant greens and oranges of the nature around them. The biodome was difficult to explore, heavy and dense with vegetation. Humidity weighed down soft feathers with a thick dampness, the sensation was vaguely uncomfortable but not unbearable. No, unbearable would be the claustrophobic humidity that accompanied ventures through the jungle. The way the plants threatened to reach for her legs and the heat threatened to ...
