A glimmer of relief finally showed itself on the Lili's face. After months of living with the uncertainty, it felt like a weight had been lifted from her mind. "I'm... really glad to hear that..." But even as one weight was taken away, others still remained, memories of friends she may or may not ever see again coming back to her, a look of concern crossing her face. "I hope the others are alright... Thorn, Hurricane, Twilight..." she trailed off, then after a moment, added, "Have you heard anything about any of the members of the old group?" As she said this, she hoped the Rex wouldn't mention the only member of the group she never wanted to see again. The fear of running into Darkness was another weight the Lili had to deal with...

"Well, scents and tracks mostly, but the only one i definately know is here is Fatalis. i think i could smell Blade, the young Allosaur that was with you for a while...the others, i'm not sure" growled Crusher, disappointment at the fact evident in his tone...

"Well. I'm surviving, and life alone now isn't anywhere near as tough as it was the last time i tried it" growled the Allosaur with a smirk, though beneath the friendly, occasionally cocky exterior he still shuddered at the memory of his childhood....it was an experience he wouldn't wish on an enemy...

Selena grimaced sympathetically. "Life alone is rough for anyone, no matter how you look at it. The kills are mostly small, and sometimes you get the odd random overly aggressive big predator running around." Selena eyed another branch, lower than the one she stood on, wondering if it was worth the risk of putting herself within reach of the stranger's teeth to get to a better position for conversation. "But maybe all of that keeps you on your toes. Maybe despite the problems, it's worth it." She decided not to chance the jump and settled into a more relaxed crouch. "Anyway...run into any other old faces?"

"Not really. scents mostly, and even then they're vague. as much as i try to find old friends, i can't seem to keep track of the scents long enough to get close. you and my friend Alira here are about the first familiar faces i've seen since Sorna...though there was one Spinosaur that came by not long ago...randomly stared, said hi, and walked off...I've heard Crusher's roars once or twice, so i know he's around. i pity whoever got him angry enough to roar like that...i think Darkness is around somewhere, but i haven't managed to find him yet.......that's about it...i came across Aircrest a while ago though....he's pleased with life alone, the way he talks. glad to not have to worry about taking care of friends...watching his own back" growled Blade calmly, laying his head against the ground. "I'm surprised i found you though. considering how Darkness tends to hold inheritable grudges, i worried he might've got to you by now...i still can't believe he could possibly be as bad as he used to....i'm hoping to find him and see for myself...that is, if that's even possible"...

Aircrest. The name sent a claw slicing into her heart. Despite the pain, it was soon joined by relief...and hope. He's here. He's alive...or...he was when Blade saw him... "Darkness is one raptor I wouldn't mind never seeing again," Selena growled, her expression darkening as she hid her reaction to hearing her mate's name. "He got to me alright. I'm sure some of the more recent scars on my face are from his claws." Her lip curled. "I don't know how bad he used to be...didn't know him for long enough to get the whole story. But I do know I came close to losing my life the last time we met." She shook her head slowly. "If you do find him...please, don't mention my name. I'm...tired of being hunted for something I had no control over. The past is the past, and if you focus on that...you'll never be able to move forward and appreciate the here and now."

Alira watched the two predators, silent but taking in everything she heard and turning it over in her mind. Something had flashed in Selena's eyes when Aircrest's name had been mentioned, but was there and gone too quickly for Alira to be sure she'd seen anything at all.

"Will do. If anything, i'm going to see if there's anything left in him of the Raptor that saved my life" growled Blade. "But until i see him, i'm content to make as much of a normal life out of what i can get in this place" he added...

"Good luck to you," Selena growled. "I have a feeling you may need it. Both with Darkness...and living a normal life here." She cracked a small smile.

"I'll manage....always do....I just hope that i don't get annoyed by any more Compies....had enough of them to last a life time while i was with your little group....that one small one refused to shut up....nearly stepped on it more than once, but reminded myself that all that'd do is make the OTHER loud mouthed pests following us around start talking" growled Blade...

The female raptor snorted. "I sympathize," she growled. "But I have to point out that it wasn't my group. It was Steeltalon's." A shadow crossed her expression. She blinked, willing the memories away. "I had little to do with them. My stay was brief."

"Ah..." Switchblade hissed with a single, small nod. She hadn't expected the Rex to know where all her friends were, since their lives had changed so drastically, but she still couldn't help feeling slightly let down. Trying not to let it show, her thoughts switched to Blade and Fatalis. Though she considered them friends, they never really became close. The Lili doubted they'd be all that interested in seeing her again, even if she could find them. Then she added with a hint of a slightly dispirited smile, "I hope they're having better luck than I am... Just out of curiosity, have you heard what they might be doing lately?"

"Well, as i said, Blade, i'm not quite sure is around, though i think i picked up his scent once or twice. as for Fatalis....believe it or not, he's starting a pack" growled the Rex. noting the Liliensternus' disappointment, he thought over the issue with friends. "Come to think of it.....If Ripper is around, i'll bet he'd know where the rest are" he added...

"Nah. i mean that rag-tag bunch of minis that were with you. remember? The Compy and the....Rhamphorynchus, i think?" growled Blade with a smirk...

The Lili blinked, head tilting slightly at the notion of Fatalis, of all raptors, starting a pack. It definitely wasn't something she ever expected to hear. Then the mention of Ripper brought back some of her earlier conversation with Aircrest, the Lili seeming to brighten somewhat. If the elder raptor was really as good as she got the impression he was, maybe there was a chance of finding Thorn and the mutants after all. "That would be great if he did..." the Lili hissed, pausing then adding, "How would I go about finding him though? He'd probably be harder to locate than the pack..."

"Ah," Selena growled, more memories resurfacing. "Haven't seen any of them in a while, actually...I assume they're still on the island." She shrugged.

Shredder, having found the scent of a small dinosaur, though not sure what it was yet, followed the trail. He had passed through most of the island unnoticed, but as he neared the middle of the forest, a whole pile of scents began flooding in. He began to move faster, to keep the scent of the dinosaur he was tracking, but the torrent of scents kept coming, confusing him slightly. Many of the scents he was smelling belonged to large predators, it seemed; a few smelled familiar. He recognized some of them he had met, and fought, before. Pushing the thought out of his mind, he carried on, even though he could smell some of the large predators in his path. Particularly, he could smell a giganotosaurus fairly close, and another spinosaurus not far behind, along with the smell of fresh blood...

"OR....they got munched on by an understandably annoyed Allosaur in a similar situation i was in back then" growled Blade with a smirk...

Crusher fell silent, closing his eyes in thought. "Well....to be completely honest....usually it's Ripper that finds you, rather than the other way around. i'm sure he knows you Switchblade. with a bit of luck, you'll 'run into him' before long. though if you want a head start at finding him, i'd suggest finding a human cave that's mostly overrun by plants. trees, vines, roots. he doesn't have many distinguishing habits, but this is one that i find to be very reliable" growled the Rex as he opened his eyes, cyan orbs seeming to look into the Lili's very soul simply by looking at her...

"Ha ha," Selena growled dryly, with the hint of an amused expression. "You're hilarious." She tensed reflexively as the female allosaur - Alira, Blade had called her - moved a bit, getting more comfortable. After a moment, the raptor slowly loosened her muscles when it became clear Alira had no intention of trying to eat her.

A clawed foot suddenly crashed into Aircrest's side, dislodging the sleeping raptor from the branch, causing him to crash through the tree to the ground. The dark raptor climbs onto the now free branch, looking down at Aircrest from above. "Ah the satisfaction...no worry about disappointing old friends...You should feel honored. I could've followed Blade...but no...I followed you." Darkness growled, grinning, most of his body concealed by the shadows of the tree, his amber eyes and toothed maw visible from the ground.

Two raptors suddenly darted into view from around a corner, standing behind Selena. "You think you can sneak up on-" the first, a female, growled menacingly, before spotting the two Allosaurs. "Oh sh*t! RUN!" Tyreal hissed, the two raptors darting off in separate directions, thinking they've been led into a trap.

Aircrest twisted as he fell, planting his feet on a lower branch, crouching down on it as his momentum was absorbed by the moss covered limb. Breathing heavilly, he looked up to the shadows. "Oh, its you" He growled. His maw parted as he let out a yawn. "Ya, I guess I feel 'honored' that your bored enough to come to 'unworthy' for company" He barked. "So....wanna talk about something? Y'know...seeing as Im awake... and such...Im really too tired to get into another debate though..."

by **TyrannoTitan** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 3:11 am

The large shadow suddenly drops down on Aircrest even before he finishes the sentence, kicking the green raptor's side with both legs, knocking him far from the branch, Darkness landing on the branch, now that it, too, is now free. "You were supposed to fall. You can't even fail right..." he snarled, once again looking down at the raptor.

by **C S** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 3:19 am

Falling back at an angle, Aircrest found his legs hitting yet another leafy tendril. Priming his legs, he launched himself back at Darkness, bashing the large raptor off the branch in return, snarling "I guess Im gravity impaired...unlike you"
