“Shatter, wait up, the big guys is slow!” Eryth called out to Shatterdome who was ahead of their little group as they made their way to a large building that was hidden away deep in the jungle. The three had overheard about this large compound that housed a large building that the oviraptors were using to travel and they were interested in exploring and seeing if the stories floating around were true. 

“You guys can go on ahead if you want, I’ll slowly catch up” Prometheus said leaning his head down towards Eryth who was waiting for the large giant to follow where she was going. The compound was large and the buildings looked run down due to the aging over the years and yet they didn’t even know it was hidden away.

“so this is where they have been using those pesky little raptors” Shatterdome said, snorting to herself as the other two caught up and the sound of Prometheus’s weight on the compound floor echoed in the wide space. the area was large and open with a couple cars that were covered in dust followed by many man made structures that became overgrown due to the jungle around it.

Eryth stopped looking around as she looked back at Shatterdome who was sniffing the ground as she had spotted some of the seeds and old

Oviraptor footprints “ looks like it’s been active here huh Shatter?” She said before watching Prometheus walk around as he took in the old beams that looked like they could fall at any moment but were being held by the vines and newer plant life he hadn’t seen in all his years of walking the island they called home.

“ this place must have been here for years, it looks older then any of the man structures I’ve seen” Prometheus bellowed to the two below him as they explored further into the large building. Plants had grown through the floor and had overtaken most of the open bay followed by them spotting old seeds that sprouted.

Further in there were other rooms that Eryth and Shatterdome decided to explore while Prometheus kept looking around outside as he spotted large plants that surrounded the area, ones he had never seen before and he recalled overhearing others that managed to get information out of the oviraptors.

“interesting they seemed to not be bugged or effected but the structures” Prometheus said to himself as his tail swung behind him with each step he took, inside Shatterdome and Eryth walked down some of the halls that went further into the building as they found more seeds and signs of the oviraptors being here along with old objects that looked almost alien to them.

“I didn’t think this place was real!” Eryth said as she followed behind Shatterdome who rolled her eyes and snorted “ of course it is I just didn’t think it was this big” she added coming to a stop.

“You think the big guy found anything else of importance while we were in here?” She said before turning around and spotting old planter-like boxes lining the hallway “I wonder if this is where they are getting those stupid seeds” Eryth said before moving closer to investigate them.

The two continued to look around with Shatter finding something and soon followed by Eryth, but outside Prometheus had moved further into

The compound and came across a large greenhouse that was smashed and overgrown vastly with large plant life that had  overtaken a vehicle that sat still beside it.

“Hmm this seems interesting, wonder if this is where they rest when not out and about on the island” he hummed to himself leaning his neck down and looking around where he could, before he was startled by Shatterdome and Eryth who wanted to see if he had found anything new.

“Find anything big guy, inside wasn’t too much more” Shatterdome said as she walked up to the green house and beside her was Eryth who nodded in agreement to Shatter's statement.

Prometheus sighed and shook his head “ it seems like nothing is here as of right now, but this place is interesting especially the plant life surrounding it” He said before looking at them “I feel like we should come back later maybe we will be able to uncover more, or if we find a oviraptor who agrees to show us” he added before waiting for a response.

Shatterdome nodded before looking around and Eryth was gone and had wandered into the greenhouse area pushing past the plants but was met with just old

Seeds and some feathers from the oviraptors who were in hiding or weren’t here “

Nothing else in here just weird plants and old papers” she said before crawling

Back out towards them.

“Well I think Prometheus is right, this is a lot to explore and will need more visits” Shatterdome said before walking head back towards the area they were in first to head out of the compound like structure, followed by Prometheus and Eryth who took a couple last looks around and deciding it was best to head out as it was getting darker and who knew what lurked around this place at night.

“Let’s take some of these seeds with us” Eryth said, leaning down and grabbing them in her hands, before catching up to the others. 

“Good idea Eryth, maybe we can bribe some oviraptors” Shatterdome said laughing and trotting with her head high, she wasn’t a fan of the new birds and was skeptical about the new area they had found, Prometheus laughed before shaking his head “you know they aren’t that bad, maybe just misunderstood”

“I don’t trust them” Shatterdome said before adding “especially where they came from”

Eryth kept quiet as she held the seeds in her hands “ maybe we were closer than we think” she said before picking up her pace as well, they had a long way to go since the place was so hidden and deep in the jungle, followed by watchful eyes they were unaware of.
