Tobias and Ghostlight, like so many others, waited for the Queen. They stood in a prettily decorated area that had once been used as a courtyard of sorts, somewhere for human staff to gather and mingle during midday meals. It was tiered, a higher and lower level separated by a concrete and metal railing. Plants were everywhere, though they appeared to all be ornamental and decorative and were meticulously cared for, rather than those that had an appetite for fle...

Dawn came far too quickly for either pachy’s liking, artificial sunlight slowly colouring the inside of the dome once again. It was close to a real sunrise, yet… still wrong. The ambient temperature had grown cooler in the night, the early hours saw the wall and ceiling panels brightly lit and coloured with the pre-dawn colours which transitioned into vibrant pinks and oranges which would later shift to a pure sky blue, yet it felt ...

The armour pieces and components rattled in their makeshift bundle as Embargo and Deerlegs raced away from the treasury. If the green flecks of light and few blue-tinted glowing quills along Embargo’s spine weren’t a dead giveaway of their retreat, the sounds of the armour pieces clanking together would be. Deerlegs glanced over her shoulder, Embargo still following just behind her, to see Mischief standing in the...

“I hate this place so much.” Randolph glared at Rebecca, willing himself to not snap at her. “You were the one who wanted to come here in the first place, remember?” They were, of course, talking about Atlantis. “That was because this is where Papa and Aunt Fainel were going,” she said, rolling her eyes. “It was mysterious! Enigmatic!” Randolph was surprised she knew words that big. “But ...

Beautiful. At its heart, the dome built up from the ocean floor populated by lethal life and sealed away for so long was beautiful. Vibrant, lush greenery filled most of the dome, consuming that which the humans had left behind. Most of the buildings were almost swallowed entirely, invisible unless you knew where to look. What plants weren’t green were other brilliant hues ins...

“Where are we going?” If Deerlegs weren’t so exhausted, her voice would be filled with annoyance. As it was, her tone was as still as flat as her disheveled feather crests, which plainly displayed both her fatigue and her irritation at their situation. She helped Embargo along, nudging him and guiding him when he stumbled and lost his footing. If they were in Highcliff, he would have been told to stay in a cave ...

Ghostlight plucked the feathers from the large bird she was preparing to be dined on. Every movement was careful and precise as she delicately set them aside in a small pile. Meticulous. She simply didn’t enjoy the prickle of feather quills on her gums, so she cleaned the carcass as well as she could. Though it was intended for someone else, she would ultimately be the one to pick the meat from the carcass. Anyone w...

Ignis flapped his wings, rapidly beating them in order to gain altitude in the air as his harsh gaze scorched the land below as fiercely as fire. Somewhere nearby, there was an oviraptor. He had been following the tracks for hours now, and the trail was getting fresher and fresher. It was almost time.   By his side were two much larger flyers, tropeognathus. While normally Ignis preferred to fly solo, the stra...

The wind over the island was good today. Leaves waved slowly back and forth in the wind, making a gentle sound as they brushed together. Flowers danced and bobbed on the ground, making their bright colors all the more attention grabbing. In the valley many creatures moved- herbivores with their loud, booming calls, gently guiding their young hatchlings and teaching them the way of the world. Carnivores, with their sharp teeth and claws, so gentle when it came to...
