Freedom… That was what emerging from the underground meant. The herd had learned that an exit had opened when islanders started to trickle into the facility in search of the source of the anteos and apparent oddities that had flooded the island when the anteos poured out. The visitors had been kind enough to tell them stories of what lay beyond, encouraging them to leave. It was still hard to believe that there coul...

Genesis - a place where all things begin. If Ouranos didn’t find food, it would also be the place where he ended. He wasn’t so hungry to feel the pressure of starvation just yet, though. He and his brother, Ephialtes, had only hatched in this strange place recently. They were still nourished by the yolk of their eggs, though the n...

Pisces was old. As Smoketrail grew up, he began to realise more and more what that meant, and the weight of that knowledge weighed more and more heavily on his heart. She couldn’t take care of herself well anymore. Her hearing was going, as was her eyesight, and she was relying more on her sense of smell and her waning memories to get around. Smoketrail worried for her, even though Pisces assured him she was fine. S...

Small feet pattered over hard savannah earth as Hekla tried to shove her way through thick clumps of grass, under tangled shrubs, and over and around rocks that were the size of small boulders to the tiny styracosaurus. She honked as loud as she could, but the answer to her anxious cries for attention were the same as they had been since she realised she was separated from her family: nothing but silence. No one called back but birds that scattered and took to t...

Minnow’s stay with Creek’s family had been short, but sweet. She had really liked having someone to play with, and somewhere warm and safe to curl up at night in, but was afraid that ultimately… something bad would happen to them if she stayed. And then… something bad did happen....

A year to the day they had reunited in the barracks, Pelt and Ruby had collectively agreed on a plan. This plan was what they were going to do once they were outside. They both wanted to explore what they believed would be outside, such as huge fields and vineless forests. They dreamed of finding a beautiful place to make home. Ruby had already decided she wanted to be a mother when she was older. After their reunion,...

The second time the two euos met in their home of Atlantis, it went very differently. They were both juveniles at the time, and they reunited in the barracks during warrior training. Most of the time the young males gathered together, and the young females did so as well. Pelt had been in warrior training for two weeks and Ruby was done with her first training session when ...

Minnow bounded across the forest floor, then stopped and squashed herself low to the ground to try to hide. She listened intently, looking around for any sign of something bigger wandering around. A utahraptor, or a carnotaurus looking for a snack, or even something as small as a large eagle would still be perfectly capable of whisking her away. She was growing, but she was not ...

It was sunset in Atlantis and the Euoplocephalus were winding down, eating their last meals before they settled down to sleep for the night. Each of the species down here had their own 'clans' usually between species, although it wasn't too rare for different herbis to group up. Most hang around in family groups- one euoplocephalus family in particular has recently had trouble sleeping.   "Momma, where are we ...

Eos ran as quickly as she could across the Peran landscape, claws kicking up pebbles and small bits of debris with every frantic step. She panted as she ran, arms folded close to her chest with her claws tucked away so that they didn’t catch or break on anything as she ran through the twisting, turning corridors and crags of the rock and boulder-strewn stretch of the Peran scrublands. The landscape was rapidly turning into a canyon, the ground curving downward...

Toffee | Zhetan 447 Words It had started as a simple curiosity, some sort of structure where the door was slightly ajar. How could they not be curious? The three dinos had been gathered around the door, trying to peer inside without disturbing the door, by opening it more, or bei...
