Dino’s Included: Doom (5957)

 Heavy footsteps crushed into the ground as old tree’s that once grew bright foliage now were only husks of bark and wood stood due to the intense heat from the lava tunnels that spread across the pera's surface, followed by a low growl coming from dark jaws. Doom had been tracking something for the past few days and it wasn’t anything familiar which had the large carnivore curious along with a spread of new plant life that began to bloom around these areas including the one she had been in.

Doom leaned down sniffing the ground as she spotted footprints that were left behind in the earth's crust imprinted by whatever other dinosaur. “This scent is unfamiliar” she growled to herself as she lifted her head back up before continuing on into the tunnels making sure she was on high alert. As the large acro continued on she began spotting various feathers that were carried by the small draft of wind that whistled through the tunnels as they flew past her snout bringing unfamiliar scents, they were to small to be therizeno feathers and way to light to be some of the other dinosaurs who spotted them.

“Hmm more footprints and feathers this way” she said to herself as she continued deeper into the tunnels with the spotting of feathers and multiple footprints crowding one area almost as if something was staying here before leaving pretty quickly. Doom was stunned as she investigated the area trying to find any evidence of whatever she was tracking to see if it was still in the area with her. Many other dinosaurs had been talking about the strange things they had been finding around the island and Doom had overheard and was wanting to find out herself which she was slowly seeing that others were right and it wasn’t just some random tale that was made up. 

Coming to a stop Doom looked up as she spotted large vines that crawled across the rocks above her, her eyes widening as she spotted large teeth like appendages sprouting from the middle, as it laid open with a red inside. Doom stepped back as she growled unsure of the new plant life she had stumbled across making the normally large confident carnivore cautious..

She had remembered spotting larger vines growing more frequently and they were odd but she didn’t think anything of it but now there was some concern, were these new dinosaurs she was tracking bringing whatever this plant was with them, with a long sigh Doom stepped around the plant making sure it wasn’t above her.

“What is that thing, I have never seen anything like that around here growing especially with the heat” Doom said as she looked around for more of the unknown plant which she found quickly spotting holes dug into the ground and patted back over with dirt as if something had buried or planted something in the ground, which she then noticed sprouts that looked as if they matched the large plant on the tunnel ceiling. 

“This just keeps getting weird, there must be something going on… new dinosaurs and strange plants great just what I needed” she grumbled before walking past her footprints covering those of the much smaller dinosaurs, Doom remembered when she was the new comer to the surface area and how the main species reacted to their arrival but it seemed like these newcomers were skittish and only left strange bits left behind wherever they had gone.

The lava tunnels were dry and hot where most dinosaurs avoided if they could and only others dared to explore if they could handle the heat, it wasn’t a carnivore Doom thought to herself as there were no signs of hunting or leftovers. It had to be a herbivore of some type and they weren’t very big, and it seemed most spotted feathers but not much, she would stop every few moments to sniff area’s with feathers that laid in the dirt or got caught on the tunnel walls. 

More plant life popped up as she explored further into the tunnels making sure she would steer clear of them with some open and some closed, the vines were large and grew rapidly it seemed. Maybe it was their food source? But she wasn’t sure as she continued to pick up clues she would come across on her travels. 

After awhile she had spotted seed casings that littered the ground in areas of the tunnels and random spots that looked like they had been dug in but deemed to not be a good spot for whatever they were trying to bury, tilting her head she shook off the curious feeling as she couldn’t pinpoint a reason for any of this, the new dinosaurs were strange and getting to understand them was going to be a difficult task for carnivores she thought to herself.  

“Well let’s take a piece of this vine, maybe others know more than I do” Doom said as she leaned down ripping the vine up from the ground and holding it in her jaws as she walked forwards stepping on feathers that were left behind by these so called new comers which she hadn’t even spotted yet. Little did she know she was being watched by very watchful eyes that kept themselves very hidden, they knew their presence was making others wondered but staying in hiding was the best, only time would tell until Doom would come face to face with the things that had been leaving behind these random and unusual findings but not yet.

“Well that's enough of finding odd things today and I got this vine, but I am sure i’ll stumble across more of it on the island” she said to herself through her teeth before heading back the way she had come from, something had drawn her to the lava tunnels today and it seemed like for a good reason. 

The lava tunnels seemed to be a popular spot as it contained all this new information which Doom would be back again to investigate more but she also wondered if maybe other places were also experiencing  the same oddities, and she was off to find out. 

Doom would go on to hear more stories about sighting of the clues and odd things that had been popping up all over the island with some dinosaurs saying they had found the same things or more then she had. She would go around asking about the vine and showing it off with some dinosaurs having no clue what it was or where it came from but others would have experienced the same sightings and tell the large acro where they had found them, in which Doom had a few more ideas on where to explore to find out more about the strange new plants and feathers she had stumbled on when at the lava tunnels.

She knew something was up on the island and only time would tell until she unraveled the truth in what was going on that was so strange but for now she wanted to rest and continue to ask around before jumping into something she knew very little about, besides who knew if these newcomers were dangerous or not.
