The duo had been walking for quite some time, so they weren’t surprised to see that the sun was already high in the sky. Its warm, bright, yellowish rays cast a pleasant glow over the island, making every colour around them appear more vivid and vibrant than usual. The sky that day was almost cloudless, so nothing stood in the way of the light – falling onto the surface of Isla Kela at almost a right angle, the sun’s glow cast hardly any shadows. They had left Atlantis far behind...

Leyte felt a shiver of excitement run through her body, making it hard for her to concentrate on anything. For several days, the entire archipelago had been practically awash with the positive emotions of its inhabitants – the dinosaurs were passing on the news that a date of great significance to the islands was fast approaching. Leyte wasn’t actually sure exactly what it was all about. What’s more, she had the distinct impression that most of the excited dinosaurs weren’t sure eithe...

It was nearly midday, and the gardens of Atlantis were teeming with all manner of dinosaurs. This time, however, the Atlanteans were not working at all – the oviraptors, even those standing beside the numerous flowerbeds, did not deign to cast even a cursory glance at the growing plants, and the many euoplocephalus in the area, some still in full armour, paid little attention to those passing by. Only a few royal guards were still standing guard, their stern faces flanking the crowd as they...

Slug gazed longingly towards the distant (at least in the mind of a young oviraptor hatchling), vast jungle—so immense, in fact, that it seemed almost infinite. The soaring trees, beginning to grow almost at the very edge of the forest, stretched upwards persistently, reaching almost to the very top of the dome. Their leaves, which anywhere else in the world would have been so small as to merge into a single, shapeless, green mass, were here of astonishing size – even from where she stood...

Mayde looked around the immediate vicinity with resignation. Her eyesight, as befitted a flying predator, was exceptionally sharp, but despite her best efforts, she could not spot anything worthy of her attention. The steep rocks on which she was currently perched were completely barren and devoid of most forms of life. She felt utterly alone here, but this state suited her. She had never been one of the most sociable dinosaurs, but in her current state she desired...

Costel, still weary from his recent, intense exertion, was panting heavily. Although spring had well and truly taken hold of the archipelago, the temperature was not particularly high – with every laboured breath, wisps of water vapour gathered around his nostrils, slightly obscuring his vision. The male blinked a few times, almost frantically, as if trying to shake off the sight. It didn't help him much. He could taste the fresh, warm, metallic taste of blood in his mouth. Before hi...

Sidewinder drew in some fairly warm, slightly damp air through his nostrils. He was pleased with the sensation. Not so long ago, when temperatures could drop below freezing during the winter months, the icy air had unpleasantly irritated his sensitive airways. He wasn’t particularly accustomed to harsher weather conditions. No wonder, really – his body was covered in sparse feathers that didn’t provide much insulation against the cold. Sidewinder undoubtedly preferred the warmer seasons...

The tunnel was slowly drawing to the long awaited end, as evidenced by the ever-growing patch of light that grew brighter with every step – the exit from the underground. The ground here was damp and sticky, and an unpleasant, musty, slightly metallic odour hung in the air – few dinosaurs liked to pass through here. Black, insulated cables ran in dense bunches along both walls of the tunnel. Presumably, none of them had carried electricity for many years, so they were more of a dubious de...

The sun was already high in a completely cloudless, bright blue sky. A gentle breeze was blowing—barely perceptible even in its gusts, yet pleasant nonetheless. All around, lush green young grass grew thickly, and the clearing was dotted with blooming, multicoloured flowers. The scene seemed nothing short of heavenly. There was, however, something that marred this idyllic picture.
 Suddenly, the air was pierced by a strange, loud sound—a horrible rumbling in the stomach—as if a...

The sun, whose warm rays tenderly enveloped the entire archipelago as if to comfort it, peered gently from behind the clouds. The white, billowing formations tried desperately to overshadow this steadfast, comforting astronomical giant with their power, but the sun was too determined to let them win – it had been sunny without interruption since morning. Ricochet watched this silent battle with undisguised interest, feeling the gentle spring breeze ruffle his brown and cream feathers...

One of the tree’s longer branches shook dangerously, drawing attention with the loud rustling sound that accompanied it. The tiny spring leaves seemed to be constantly moving, driven by some inexplicable force. Shilo watched this intriguing phenomenon with interest (and a slight tinge of fear), wondering what it might mean. It soon became clear – from the depths of the tree’s dense, green canopy, a small bird fluttered out to the very edge of a branch. Its body was covered in bla...

Snip blinked lazily, feeling the morning light force its way between his half-closed eyelids. The disgruntled hatchling, with a comical grimace of irritation on his face, turned his head away, trying to shield himself from the sun climbing across the sky. To no avail – time was passing, and the young, irritated cryolophosaurus could do nothing about it. The blissful, restorative night’s rest was already over. Still somewhat sleepy, the male lifted his head with some effort, then looked ar...

Mesa, resting on all four of her legs, chewed the grass thoughtfully. The sweet taste of the juicy blades of grass made it abundantly clear that the archipelago had bid farewell to winter for good. Now, an early, pleasant spring reigned supreme, patting her encouragingly on the back with its warm rays of sunshine. As temperatures rose, the entire islands came to life. Many animals, which had spent the previous long weeks in hibernation, could now finally return to life. It seemed this also ap...

The blue-and-yellow crest on the female’s head bristled slightly. An electrifying shiver of excitement ran through her entire body. Wellspring pressed forward relentlessly, at a steady, measured pace – though it had to be said that this steadiness was difficult to maintain when her whole body was frantically straining to move forward. The female lowered her head, her attention drawn to a slightly bent, battered bush. It looked as though someone had inadvertently bumped into it with their ...

The wind gently, almost silently, moved the slender twigs. The trees, which only recently had been completely dormant in their winter slumber, were now slowly coming to life. The whole forest had changed beyond recognition, transforming from a gloomy, grey-brown place into a place brimming with life and energy. The spreading branches were now covered in green, lush buds, clearly signalling to everyone around that spring had arrived. Cinnamon was leaning against one of these trees brimm...

A red, constantly flickering light illuminated the long, seemingly endless corridor. Everything in this place clearly indicated that this ragged building had been abandoned long ago – perhaps even before the people mysteriously vanished from the archipelago. The pale, featureless walls were covered from end to end with suspicious-looking stains. It was hard to tell whether these stains were mould, or perhaps simply dirt that had accumulated over the years? The floor was thickly covered with...

The sun was slowly rising above the horizon, casting a vivid orange glow over the whole archipelago. Half of this astronomical giant’s disc was already peeking out from behind the distant mountains, glowing like burning metal heated to a red-hot glow. Ignis leisurely preened his dark feathers, cleaning them, while gazing at this wonder of nature. The orange glow both calmed him and filled the male with new energy. It reminded him of a raging fire. Standing beside her partner, ...
