It was a rainy morning across the islands as the cool breeze moved through the vast forest area with many enjoying the much cooler weather with more of a relaxation to the day but others had different plans. Pale scales followed by blue eyes could be seen moving through the undergrowth of the forest as it came to a stop before looking up and letting out a low growl. It was a cryolophosaurus by the name of Momoiro and he was on a scent tracking it for days but sometimes  he would get stumped, losing track of it before shortly picking it back up again. He had been tracking a female cryo’s sent for the past few days and he hadn’t found her yet with his efforts getting slim but he wasn’t giving up yet, leaning down to sniff once more before picking the scent up once more as he gave off a smile.

“Ah there she is, I wonder where she is off to this time” He mumbled to himself before stopping in a clearing in the forest , the male cryo had been following her for a few days only catching a glimpse of her every once in awhile all he could go off of was that she had deep red and bright yellow scales. Lost in his thought he snapped out quickly as he heard the sound of movement up ahead in a much larger clearing making him step forwards following the sounds.

Further up in the clearing Eydis had been rolling around in the long grass as she felt the itch from the dry weather and it allowed her to scratch it. Eydis had been keeping to herself due to the time of year and didn’t want to be swarmed by potential suitors, so sticking to herself under the radar was working out well for the female cryo but it seemed that her alone time would be coming to a end with her becoming aware as she stopped rolling around. 

As she heard the approaching footsteps she stood up hunkering down in the grass, as her yellow eyes locked in on the pale Momoiro who seemed to not know of her presence anything other than her scent. Stalking slowly as she growled slowly, keeping watch on Momoiro as he still was keenly unaware. The pale cryo stopped as he let out a sigh seeing an empty grassy area annoyed that he couldn’t find Eydis and that it was another dead end.

“Oh come on not again, I am never going to find her at this rate she is just too good” The pale male grumbled to himself with a slight annoyance , not aware that the female he had been tracking was stalking him now as she kept low and awaited for the perfect moment to strike. With one more step from Momoiro he was taken off his feet with a loud thud as his back hit the ground with his eyes closed before he slowly opened them.

Red and yellow scales came into view followed by a sharp grin and narrowed eyes and a harsh voice but it had a light soft tone behind it. “Why are you following me, and don’t try anything stupid” The female cryo said from her jaws as she looked over Momoiro who had a small smile across his jaws, he had found her but he didn’t think under these circumstances.

“I finally found you, you were hard to find I would admit” Momorio said shyly as he tried to get up just to be pushed back down again by Eydis who was puzzled before letting the male up before shaking her head with a slight annoyance she had forgotten what time of year it was.

“Oh you were following me? That is interesting” She said with a slight smirk as she stepped back looking at Momoiro who now looked nervous that the female was intrigued by him. As the two introduced each other Eydis had an idea brewing in her head, she wanted to test the pale male and win her over before she would even consider him a mate. Eydis didn’t take anyone for a mate and they always had to prove themselves good enough for her so putting Momoiro to the test was something she was going to do and it all started with a chase.

“Alright then Momoiro show me what you got, I don’t take anyone randomly for a mate you need to prove yourself that you're fit” she said before taking off right away waiting for him to follow before running down the hill as quickly as she could. The pale male cryo jumping at the sudden rush of speed with him following her as he did his best to keep up with Eydis, it was a test and Momoiro would have to prove himself to be a suitable mate for Eydis which wasn’t a easy task for other male cryo’s with lots failing. 

Eydis kept a good pace as she jumped across various rocks that sat in a small creek she had run down to, knowing the area well she awaited Momoiro who seemed to have no issues keeping up to her. With the two coming to a slow stop once Momorio got across meeting up with Eydis who had a amazed look across her face before she let out a giggle and a large smile after “Well it seems you can keep up with me, shall we continue maybe a hunt might be something else I should test you on” She said running her tail under his chin before walking ahead and looking back “well let's go then?” She added.

Momoiro nodded before feeling a pit grow in his stomach. He wasn't one to be very good at hunting so it could prove a challenge for the male but he had to try the best he could. The two stopped by the creek after they had walked a bit of a ways, with Eydis smiling before leaning down looking into the water waiting for the right moment before diving her jaws in and pulling out a large fish.

Nudging slowly over to Momoiro who seemed curious in what Eydis was doing as he watched her before looking down at the fish, he had never really fished before so this was something new for him. As he stepped close to the edge of the creek he leaned down just as she had done, with a quick lift of his jaws he had grabbed a fish and splashed Eydis who laughed as she watched him drop the fish beside hers, it was a nice size and so far he was checking off all the boxes.

“Wow, impressive almost as good as me, just one final test for you Momoiro” She said, picking up her fish before leading him into a wooded area that had plenty of sticks and undergrowth that was loose and would work well for nesting material. Eydis stopped before looking at Momoiro as she smiled and let out a sigh “Lets see your nesting skills” she said taking a seat as she watched him contently to see what he would do. With a big gulp Momoiro walked forwards as he picked up a few rocks and placed them in a well covered area into a circle type shape before grabbing some other sticks and leaf litter in his jaws as he laid it down in particular places. Taking a few steps back to check his work he kept moving things before stopping as he looked back at Eydis who was waiting patiently for him to reveal his work.

“Well I hope I did ok, and don’t be to harsh now” He said in a soft tone as he backed away from the nest and let Eydis see, the female jumping up almost immediately and let off a soft chuckle she was excited to see his work and it would be the last step. Eydis walked up to the area as she looked over the carefully placed scanning each piece as she stepped into the nest before sitting down and giving it a test as she moved some things around before giving off a nod of approval.

“Well done Momoiro, I think you did a very good job” she said, standing up and giving Momorio a lick on his cheek before nudging him playfully. Eydis had accepted him as a mate and their bond was sealed he was able to to prove to Eydis that he was a capable mate through the various mini trails she put him through. Through the next few days the pair would continue to test one another as the upcoming hatchlings would be soon to come and Momoiro and Eydis would be new parents and new mates so there was a lot for the young pair to prepare for. As Momorio gave off a warm smile at his new mate he was excited for the upcoming babies that would soon lay in his nest he built.
