Isla Sorna Stories RPG

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness watched Steeltalon catch the fish. Show off... he snarled to himself. He stretched and layed his head back down. He was tired again, but was sick of sleep. He yawned, but fought back the urge to sleep. He watched Steeltalon and Silver at the stream...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon stretched, arching her back and giving a contented sigh. Her eyes closed in pleasure as she walked into a sunny spot and laid down. Silver was staring uncertainly at the fish. It was bigger than she was, but Steeltalon had killed it as though it was nothing. Silver jumped onto the fish and stared into a large, pale eye. Steeltalon gave a short purr of amusement and got up again. She limped over to Silver and her fish and picked the fish up again, crrying it back to her spot. She dropped it and laid back down in the same spot, watching Silver hop around the fish. "You can have it, you know," she growled, as much to Darkness as to Silver. She wasn't really hungry. She glanced at the Camarosaur carcass, knowing it'd be fresh for a few days. Silver nodded and took a bite, chirping happily.

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness hadn't payed attention. He had finally surrendered himself to sleep. His dreams were blank and pointless, until he was sent back into his past. His pack leader, killed. Him hiding in the trees as he stalked Shapclaw for the first time in years. Him being trapped by Crusher inside the raptor cave. Him being outcased by the raptors in the cave. Him finding his brother for the first time in years. Him being attacked by his brother. Him joining his brother's pack. Him loosing his sanity. Him attacking Crusher's family. Him attacking Crusher himself. Him fighting Onarus again. Him finding Steeltalon. Him fighting Steeltalon. Him hearing Steeltalon's dieing words...

Darkenss was thrown into counsiousness. He screeched in rage and fright and jumped up from the ground. He looked around and saw that he was in the spot he was when he fell asleep. He was breathing heavily. He had just relived the better part of his life. He looked around again and layed down. That damn female is rubbing off on me.. he snarled to himself. The bad parts anyway...he growled quietly. He shook it off and continued to rest....

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon looked up, surprised when Darkness screeched and jumped up. She'd been on the verge of sleep. Silver was still eating the fish, looking full and sleepy. Steeltalon yawned and glanced at the wounds on her sides, pleased to see they were healing nicely. She could guess what had woken Darkness up. She sighed and laid her head back down, her eyes slowly closing.

Steeltalon was back in her old territory. But this time, she was alone and watching her younger self struggling across a barren wasteland. Another raptor aproached the younger Steeltalon, who responded with a lunge that snapped the raptor's neck. The present Steeltalon winced, remembering how she had felt while doing that. No emotion at all had been in her mind. The younger Steeltalon ran off, an insane look on her face. That was the beginning of Steeltalon's killing spree. The present Steeltalon followed, keeping close behind as a young rex fell to the younger Steeltalon's claws. When the younger Steeltalon attacked a spino and got claw marks down her sides, the present Steeltalon growled. She had scars, exactly where the spino had clawed her.

Silver heard Steeltalon growl in her sleep. The hatchling looked at Steeltalon in sympathy. "Another nightmare," she guessed quietly.

The present Steeltalon followed the younger Steeltalon as she ran from the Spino, killing raptors, rexes and spinos along the way. The furious spino followed her trail, sometimes letting out roars of frustration when Steeltalon ran through the trees. The present Steeltalon found herself racing alongside her younger self, her heart racing just as it had done when she was really running from the spino. The spino roared again as the younger Steeltalon jumped to the ground and slid out of sight. The present Steeltalon gasped and followed, remembering the underground caves. The younger Steeltalon's eyes were huge with pain, fear and suffering. She settled down to lick her injuries as Steeltalon's vision faded.

It was Steeltalon's turn to wake up with a jolt, as she usually did after nightmares. She breathed out heavily when she raised herself into a crouch, her eyes wide and staring. "No, anything but that," she hissed angrily. "**** it . . . " Silver huddled close to Steeltalon, eyes wide. The older female knew she would never be able to sleep until the end of the day. She stood and walked to the stream, settling down and staring at her reflection. For a split second, she saw her younger self, covered in her enemies' blood and grinning psycotically. Then she saw her present self, covered in wounds and eyes full of pain. I'm no different than I was before, she realized, closing her eyes.

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness stared at Steeltalon as she walked away. He was feeling uneasy. The more nightmares she had, the more her sanity sliped away. Darkness was worried about his life and the life of the hatchling. Hopefully she has learned to care for Silver. Hopefully the hatchling will be safe... Darkness growled to himself. He knew he would be the first target if she lost it. He was surprised, this must be how Sharpclaw and the pack felt when he was one of them...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon managed to calm herself down and just crouched there by the river, studying her own face. Why did she have more nightmares than usual? Was Darkness a part of her past? Had they met somewhere before? Steeltalon shook her head and managed to forget her nightmare. You're losing it, Steeltalon, get a hold of yourself, she thought, closing her eyes. That's over and done with. You're not that way anymore. You've changed. But as Steeltalon opened her eyes and stared at her reflection again, she knew she hadn't changed, except maybe in personality. In a way, she was still that same scared young raptor who had fled from her home years ago. You're not a murderer. You're not Riptide. You're not Night. You're just you. Steeltalon. A raptor who can forget her past if she is willing to. Steeltalon listened to the small voice - hers - and let go. She let go of her past, her memories, her mother and her father. When she opened her eyes, staring at her reflection, it was like staring at another raptor altogether. Her eyes, though emotionless, now held a tint of warmth to them. Instead of the usual tense stance, Steeltalon was relaxed. Her killing toes were in the relaxed position. Steeltalon smiled, and saw her reflection's eyes glow. She'd let go.

[The Kingpin]

Hunter growled "How did you manage to turn Rawhide against the attacking pack?". Crusher growled "I told him everything. i told him what had happened from SharpClaw's point of view, how she reacted, how she was starving herself and how Darkness had attacked us while he was drinking and how he was lucky that Darkness had chosen to attack us first, rather than attacking them. and i told him what would've happened had Darkness attacked them before us...how Rawclaw would've been killed due to his need to drink. that was enough to show him that what he had done was wrong". Hunter growled "Do you really think the pack will treat him like before?". Crusher growled "I really doubt it. but they should at least treat him as a pack member. afterall, he did risk his life by turning agaisnt Onarus and returning to his real friends". Hunter nodded. they would soon reach the nest...

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness decided to stop sunning and to see what Silver was up to. He got up and walked toward the hatchling. Is your mother ok? he growled, uneasy about the situation.

[Hopeflower]

Silver blinked at Darkness and shrugged. "I don't know," she answered honestly. She hadn't been around Steeltalon long, but she had long enough to know it didn't take much for Steeltalon to get angry. A few smart comments, or a crack about someone she cared about, and Steeltalon would flip out and try to kill whoever spoke to her next. "But I'm pretty sure she'll be fine. Nothing keeps Steeltalon down for long."

Steeltalon, meanwhile, was still crouched next to the stream, but she was planning to be heading back soon. She soon stood up and walked back the way she had come.

[TyrannoTitan]

As Steeltalon approached, Darkness nodded goodbye to Silver, not wanting to be in the way of the wayward female. He rose from the ground and returned to his spot a few feet away. He layed his head on the ground, and made sure not to look Steeltalon's way...

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon bent her neck so her head was level with Silver's. "I didn't scare you, did I?" she growled. Silver shook her head. Steeltalon gave a relieved sigh. "That's good." She didn't want the little hatcling to become another one of the dinos who feared her. "I'm alright. Really." She gave Silver a reassuring lick and went over to the rock overhanging the stream, curling up and enjoying the warmth. Silver followed and climbed on top of Steeltalon's flank.

[Legendary Elite]

Out in the bright daylight, the Tarbosaur made its advance toward Berserk. Clearly it was asking for a fight. Albertosaurs were large but Tarbosaurs were bigger, Tarbosaurs were the size of Allosaurs and were almost just as aggressive. Berserk let out a battle cry as he got ready for a fight...

Largefang and the giga pack slowly proceeded uphill around the volcano. It was going to be a very long walk...

[TyrannoTitan]

Darkness watched as the two females walked to the rock. Darkness was getting tired and hungry, so he decided to fill one of the needs. He looked toward the carcass of the camarasaur and snarled. He didn't trust the spinosaur that had provided it, so he decided to go hunting.

He rose from the ground and walked into the jungle. He walked a short distance and came to a herd of Gallimimus. This is not going to be easy... Darkness snarled to himself. He waited until one of the bird-like dinosaurs put its head down to eat, and then he attacked. His running was slow, but stealthy. By the time the target Gallimimus knew he was coming, it was too late. He jumped toward the creature, intending to get its throat. His aim was true, and he was hanging from the creatures neck. He held onto its chest with his one good hand, and clawed at its stomach with his one good leg.

Soon, the Gallimimus died from lack of air and blood lose. Darkness ate his fill of the meat, and returned to his spot in the sun to rest.

[Shadow]

RazorEdge knew he was tired and yawned as he started to feel drowsy.

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon watched Darkness return, not saying anything. Her eyes narrowed as she returned to staring at the stream. Silver, on the other hand, couldn't hold in a question. "Why do you not trust the spinosaur?" she barked sharply at Darkness. "Steeltalon trusts him as much as she trusts Greeneye." Steeltalon's tailtip twitched at the mention of her name and Greeneye.

[Iceking]

green eye had picked up the scent of something had never attacked. it was an adult cammarasaurus. green eye decided to see if someone had given it to steeltalon. green eye headed in the direction of steeltalon's territory. when he arrived, green eye saw a dead cammarasaurus with spots on its head and green on its side. green eye appraoched steeltalon and growled:"i assume redtooth gave this to you?"

[Hopeflower]

Steeltalon looked up at Greeneye and barked, "Redtooth? So that's the spino's name. Yes, he gave it to me." Silver was still waiting for darkness' reply.

[TyrannoTitan]

I trust very few creatures, hatchling. Darkness growled, not looking at Silver or Steeltalon. Trust is not something you should give freely, especially to large predators who can turn on you in a second... Darkness growled as he looked around the surronding around. His trust of Steeltalon was slowly draining. The only real ally he had now was Silver, and she was a hatchling. Darkness sighed and layed his head back onto the ground.

[Hopeflower]

Silver tilted her head to the side. "Don't you trust Steeltalon?" she chirped. "She's one of the most trustworthy raptors I've ever met." Steeltalon happened to hear Silver and growled, "Were you listening when I told you I kill every raptor in Riptide's pack? I'm about as trustworthy as a rex you don't know. At least, according to Softfoot I am." She blinked, then turned her head to look at Greeneye. "Just because I'm a half-mutant."

[Iceking]

green eye nodded. he understood steeltalon had wanted revenge for the death of her family. hegrowled to steeltalon:"it seems that riptide's pack deserved what happened to them."
