They did do better with theirs, in the end. It wasn’t the following spring, but the one after, when they finally got around to it. Each year had been going better than the last, and the herd had only lost three clutches so far this year, one of which being to an unavoidable incident involving an adult Hardstep, and Laidir was pleased to note that the familiar hunch of tension in Tus’s shoulders had lessened signif...

Life in the Light had started well. When Tus had led her herd into the Light, leaving Ruth behind at the gate to their old home, she’d thought that surely everything was going to fall apart instantly. There was no way she could care for the whole herd- not with all of the things they didn't know about the Light, all the dangers and wonders it held. They knew...

When the spring arrived, so did the rain. Water fell from the skies, feeding the new plants and soaking into the ground. Plants blossomed and bloomed, and the rivers swelled as fresh water cycled back to the ground.    For suchomimus who tended to lurk around rivers and ponds and other bodies of water, this was the best part of the year. Soon the storms would arrive, and the water would only grow. Fish would ...

Spring was slowly starting to arrive, plants starting to uncurl from the cold and ice and reveal the returning green. Even so, snow still littered the ground in clumps, the last stubborn bit of winter clinging on. Food was still scarce even as the sky and ground warmed. A lone rabbit scurried out of its hidden and sheltered burrow, scenting the air cautiously as it scanned the ground around it for any predators. The day was still young, and the sky was still dar...

The day was sunny and beautiful. The sea glistened with juicy waves. But it was often not as calm as it seemed under the surface. The young Kleophia also had to learn this. The dark atopodentatus with the golden stripes and belly searched cheerfully for something edible. The black spots were not particularly noticeable in her plumage, she was so dark. Her stomach growled as she looked for seaweed and algae with her golden eyes. As a baby, she was separated ...

When you lived under constant danger and pressure, you were forced to grow up faster than others. When you lived in the Alpha Labs, you had to grow up even faster. Some were even born fully grown, out of the mysterious tubes and frozen dens that had been sealed away long ago and even now were slowly opening.   Shadestealer, Avati, and Jupiter had been some of the lucky ones. They were all either born to a pair...

The cold season had been harsh and freezing for all the creatures that inhabited the islands, much more than in previous years. Winter was slowly giving way to spring, with sunlight now present for longer hours and leaving the darkness of winter behind. Traces of the cold season could still be seen across the landscape, with the snow crystals from the morning still lingering, still covering the ground, trees, and bushes.   The Utahraptors emerged from one of the sever...

Dawn had freshly broken across the islands when Oboe noticed the sound of soft footsteps coming from outside her small shelter. Said shelter was nothing more than a large leaf draped over a rock, giving the hatchling tapejara just enough room to nestle into the gap for some resemblance of safety.   The black and white tapejara froze. Still a hatchling she could barely fly, requiring take-off from a high up pla...

Spring had arrived- finally, having come in late enough that winter winds and chills had persisted weeks after they should have been gone. But finally the warm winds had blown in, bringing life back to plants and encouraging new ones to finally grow in. It was a prime time for the herbivores of the islands, bringing back the abundance of food that was the root cause for their numbers.    And they were taking ...

The birds took flight in terror when a juvenile Styracosaurus emerged from among some fallen trunks and went in pursuit. As usual, it was followed and closely watched by a much larger one. The small one continued to search for the birds without paying attention to its surroundings, and when it reached a clearing, they disappeared into the trees and she watched as the leaves swayed in its wake, dropping some....

The Alpha Labs were a cruel and merciless place. It was rare that a pair was able to come together in an attempt to bring forth the next generation inside the artificial environment, and it was even rarer for their offspring to survive to adulthood. Other carnivores were more than willing to snatch an unguarded hatchling, even if one was a member of the same species. You had to do what you had to do to survive, after all. In the rare circumstance that hatchling ...

  The islands were flush with new life, every little corner and inch bursting with it. Birds sang in the trees as they called for a mate, and some weaved nests carefully out of sticks and feathers and mud to hold their eggs safely. Larger, predatory birds reunited with their lifelong mates, carefully adding to the nests they built while smaller songbirds hopped from mate to mate as quick as the wind.   ...
