The skies were beautiful, this early spring day. Finally the clouds that had lingered for so long, sending cold rain and freezing winds, had cleared. The sky was a lovely shade of view, and the air currents under Bassoon’s wings were just right. Letting out a please chirp the Tapejara let himself dive, rapidly dipping in altitude as he barreled towards the ground.   Hearing a laugh beside him, Bassoon turned...

Spring was here, and winter was over. Many creatures signed breaths of relief, dinosaur and mammal alike. Finally, The longest, harshest, coldest season was older. Many had died, large and small, carnivore and herbivore from varying reasons- lack of food being one of the big ones. Plants were shriveled and lacked needed nutrients, and carnivores felt the effects from the herbivores they ate. All were glad that the cold was over and the flowers had bloomed. Well....

Spring had arrived quickly. One night Nebula had gone to bed curled as close to Iodine as she could be to escape the cold and snow, and the next morning she was woken up to the warmth of the sun. While Nebula knew it wasn't going to stay this way with early spring weather being extremely chaotic, it was best to enjoy it while it lasted. So quickly she had nudged her mate and their hatchling awake, before marching them out into the flowerful world that awaited th...

The hard winter was finally over. For so long the sun had been hidden from them, covered by the grey clouds and kept away from them; her children. The land had withered and died, and snow had overcome the vegetation across the islands.    However, the Sons of the Son were smarter than that. Solstice had lead his small herd or himself, Hyperion, and Zephyr to the ashlands. Here was the place where the warmth o...

The night was young when they left from their dens, meeting up under the cover of night. For the first time, in quite a while, members of the night pack were able to reunite under the cover of darkness. Cooing gently, Sirius brushed crests with his son, Orion, and father, Comet. Nebula was too busy to come with them on his hunt, currently busy caring for a single egg and refusing to leave its side. Tonights hunt had a goal of bringing back something they could e...

The carnivores raised inside the alpha labs had suffered many things throughout their usually short lives. Trapped in a dark, cold building with nothing but the frozen creatures stored in the cryochamber and the ones already freed, it was hard to survive. Many never even got to see the outside world, killed before the doors ever creaked open and released them out into the world. ...

Winter was hard and long even on the islands where, rationally, it should not be. But like many other things on the islands, they were there anyway. These times were the hardest on the creatures who lived there; food was rare and often withered for herbivores, which then caused the carnivores to struggle as the cold and frost made it hard for some to even leave their den. In general, it was thought of as a miserable time where many did not survive to the snow me...

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...

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...

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...
