Cassidy’s nose twitched as she repressed another sneeze. Ever since setting foot in the dome of Atlantis the plant life had been disagreeing with her in some way or another. Her leg was still bleeding after some kind of leafy tripwire had snagged her earlier, barely a few minutes into their infiltration. It had made her more than cautious, she was practically paranoid as the gang worked their way slowly through the dense jungle. Forced to split into smaller gr...

Burdock had been braving the world farther and farther away from parents as he grew older. Now as a subadult he was spending weeks at a time away from home and hunting his own food. The natural speed of the Carnotaurus eluded him still, but he had refined his technique as an ambush predator and had no trouble tracking and securing a meal nowadays. His only trial was defending his kill from opportunistic scavengers. More often than not, he simply had to relent. H...

Kaiwi did his best to hide his sidelong glances at the Styra waiting next to him, but he couldn't imagine he was being too subtle. He was convinced he knew her from somewhere, though perhaps it was the uncanny likeness to Zeus, dimorph and all, that was throwing him off. He was standing in line with her, awaiting further instructions from an Iguanodon before being allowed to proceed with the planting of the islands. Though it was under less than ideal circumstan...

As he got older, Burdock couldn't deny the fact that he was getting stronger. Each morning was still a struggle against the fatigue that plagued him but he was making progress. He could catch slower sources of food, he had learned to make his own nest, he sparred with his siblings and the faint dark lines of his dimorph were coming through. His mother told him it matched his grandfather's, which filled him with a strange sense of pride. He wasn't as energetic or...

The queen had made her desires clear, expanding the garden to ensure if her people needed to move to the surface they would be comfortable and surrounded by familiar foliage. Powder had managed to lose Brambles in the jungle, an excellent chance for her to catch her breath from the relentless nonsense of her sister. On her way out of the queens hall she found a sad little creature crawling on the floor, a dark coloured tape was moving along the ground, headed ou...

“Ah, ex-prisoner!” Guerilla greeted Kaiwi with a smile and a thump on the back, “You’re just in time.” Kaiwi felt a pit of nerves in his gut. “Just in time for what?” he asked, eyes darting around to make sure Brunhilda wasn’t following him. “The end of the banquet of course! Where you and all your fellow outsiders get to be recognised for your service by ...

With the gentle prodding of his mother, Burdock was nudged out of the nest he had been born in. He was the last to hatch, the last to rise and the last to head out each morning, even with his parents encouraging him. The hatchling Carno yawned, rubbing his face against the rocks to wipe the sleep from his eyes and blinked wearily in the morning light. “Good morning sleepyhead,” Boba cooed, “your siblings are alr...

Cathedral's wings caught an updraft and she let it carry her high above her companions, taking in the view from above. The air of Isla Kela was still to be savoured, her lungs still weak from their months spent in the Ashlands of Isla Pera. Cassidy had been looking keenly at her for the last few weeks of their time there, perking up at the slightest hint of a cough. Cathedral had been paranoid that she had noticed the sickness that had plagued her and was about ...

Ever since she donkey-kicked her way out of the egg, Cassidy's mothers knew she was trouble. Neriya and Bandit watched in bemused disbelief as the pale pink hatchling fought her way out of her shell prison. She turned her equally pink eyes to her parents, scowling accusatorily at them like they had been the ones to put her in there. Which, to be fair to the brand new hatchling, she wasn't entirely wrong. Struggling to her feet, she managed to knock over one of h...

Miku waded into the shallow waves on the beach, letting the water skirt around her ankles and feeling the cool, soft sand spread beneath her weight. The sea was always so beautiful, even on the most miserable of days her stormy presence could swoon even the darkest of hearts. Miku didn't live by the coast all year round, but she made as many trips out as a Shuno could manage. Every summer especially, down to the azure waters to sink up to her chest and let the w...

"What's on the beach?" "Nothing really, we're going inside the beach," Burdock said, making his voice rise and fall like it was a grand dramatic reveal. Cherry remained unimpressed but followed the large carnivore down the sand dunes nonetheless. His longer legs navigated the deep sand easier than she could and by the time they had slid to the base of the cliff base on the beach she was already exhausted. ...

The beach was crowded today, it made Wollemia nervous. She was already having difficulty adjusting to the surface world and crowds never made it any easier. Still, Argos and Lego were insistent that she come along with them and she had a hard time saying no to either of them. "So we can head to the water if you want," Argos was saying to Lego, "but there's something close to the trees I wanna check out first."...

The banquet still hummed with activity as Blackmist watched over the proceedings with a sharp eye. So many outsiders were here, eating Atlantean food in such a jovial manner, he felt he couldn't let his guard slip for even a moment. Movement in the treeline immediately caught his eye and he braced for a pack of outsiders to come charging through, but he was surprised to see a familiar pink, feathery head poke through. ...

Their bellies full from the banquet, the raptor trio began to make their excuses. "We can't leave the surface for long." "We have territory to defend!" "We don't want to be any more of a bother."  Eventually their excuses wheedled their way into getting an escort back through the wate...

Summer was always a pain for a large, dark Acrocanthosaurus, especially those covered with feathers. The heat was reaching its apex in the Dead City, and she could find no relief from the stagnant humid air that barely stirred from day to day in a meagre breeze. While hiding from the heat in an underground carpark, she overheard the murmurs of conversation above her.  "This heat is killing me," a voice moaned, soundi...

“Deep waters out there boah,” Roswell drawled from the beach. Dexter scowled back at her and continued to wade out into the shallows. Kisse was standing closer than her sister but still didn't venture into the waves. She watched the tabby Utah paddle beyond the point where his toes could still reach the ground with a gnawing anxiety in her gut. Dexter was convinced that swimming was the final frontier lying between him and the true secrets of human civilizat...
