Crusher sighed as he eyed the Raptor for a few minutes. eventually he shifted his head under the unconscious dromeosaur, using it like a shovel to slide under the Raptor and lift it, being careful to angle it so the Raptor's body ended up being draped over either side of the Rex's back. he was not large enough to carry a creature that size in his mouth yet. let alone carry one effortlessly. he would likely struggle, and end up injuring the Raptor in the process if he attempted to use his jaws. as he began to walk towards the cave, he grabbed a hold of the Tenontosaur leg, striding carefully towards the cave, the raptor on his back teetering precariously from side to side with each step, Crusher trying his best not to let it fall off...
amidst the noises of the jungle, one place still held a deathly silence, the large Lab looming as a rust-streaked grey monument amidst the ocean of foliage that surrounded it. Few creatures knew of this place. and even fewer dared approach it. It was a relic from a time beyond the memories of most. those who knew it, feared it. those who didn't, dared not tamper with something as alien as what lay within. This structure had two permanent residents. one, a massive tree rising in the middle of the facility, slowly rising against the unnatural structure and reaching for the sunlight above. the other....a myth most refused to acknowledge as real...
After nearly half an hour of constant eating, Blade finally slumped over, exhausted, his entire torso completely round with the food he had consumed. the dark female watching over him chuckled lowly, poking her son, the young Allosaur fidgeting vainly, squeaking in complaint as he tumbled over onto his other side, unable to keep himself from rolling, earning a light giggle from the female. "Just like your father" she growled, chuckling. the young Allosaur was oblivious of the comment however, yawning widely as his eyes fluttered, heavy with exhaustion. Aurora eyed the Alpha pair for a moment, noting their own youngsters as she growled "I believe it's time I took Blade to rest. If I'm needed, Do not hesitate to ask". with that, the female rose from her resting position, plucking up the tiny youngster in her jaws, the lethal weapons suddenly taking a protective shade as she gently carried her youngster to a low dip in the earth not far away, thinly bedded with dead grass and a few relatively smooth stones, set in such a way they resembled puzzle pieces, the somewhat rough-looking nest contrasting with the smooth grass and moss nests of the others, the female setting her son down in the nest as she lay down beside him, curling her large form around the nest tightly, protecting him from all sides as her warm amethyst eyes watched the youngster fall asleep, feeling her own exhaustion slowly overtake her...
the trees swayed on the edges of the Spinosaurs' collective turf, as Thrasher finally returned after a day of exploration, his jaws and claws tinted red with blood, his mint green eyes scanning the area as his nostrils flared, checking for signs of intruders. nothing. the Spinosaur smirked as he continued into the territory, interested to hear what had occurred in his absence. at last, he could find peace. the threats posed by his father's weakening resolve had been dealt with, and now his kind held enough of a position in the minds of others that he needn't worry about his family's safety. from here on.....everything would be good. If the price was that most would see him as a cold hearted, evil creature....then so be it. At least that would act as a deterrent to threats....
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
