《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 5 (Part 6)

Antonio messed with the keyboard to try and get the laptop back on, but to the group's dismay, nothing was working. “Seems like the batteries have died.” He deduced.
“Aw, man...” Tommy groaned.
Maggie turned around and noticed that a dinosaur drew near. It was the purple Thescelotitan from before.
“Oh, hey! Ringo, how’s it going?” She called out, relieved. She went over to pet the dinosaur.
“Oh, it looks like the purple dinosaur is back,” Tommy said. “Wait, Ringo?” He did a double-take to the fact that she had given it a nickname.
“Hmm, I don’t think we should keep calling it dinosaur pal and whatnot, so why not name the dinosaur?” Maggie suggested blissfully. “Doesn’t Ringo sound like a good namesake to give?” Maggie asked. Being an avid fan of music, she considered the name to be fitting.
“Do you even know what its gender is?” Tommy questioned, tilting his head.
“Uh, no, but Ringo can be a name for either gender, so I think it's fine. What do you make of it?” She looked at the dinosaur, to which it nodded in agreement.
“Alright, I guess we’re sticking with Ringo.” Tommy shrugged.
“Alright, well, now what?” Antonio asked, glancing at the two from his computer. “We lost signal and don’t know where to find—”
“Who needs them?” Maggie scoffed, as she continued to pet her new friend. “We can just get out of here ourselves!”
Antonio’s brows creased, pondering over that question. “We can? But how?”
“Simple. You see this crystal I got in my hand?”
“Yeah, what of it?” Tommy chimed in.
“Well, I think I’ve figured out how to use this properly. You see, this is not for a weapon, but it’s more like a tracking device, pointing us to somewhere. It just so happened that I used it too much and made it lose some energy. If I’m right, I will have to wait for the crystal to recharge, and we can use its power again.”

“Are you serious?” Antonio asked, as his eyes widened.
“Yes,” Maggie replied as she rubbed the surface of the crystal.
The light shone brighter. Within a few seconds, the ray of light shot out of the crystal surface. It pointed toward another type of cave higher up the terrain.
“Come on; let’s follow that trail!” Maggie exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air.
“You were saying?” Tommy glanced at Antonio with a sheepish smirk on his face. He loved not being the one that was in the wrong for once.
“Alright, you win this round, but I’m going to walk this time,” Antonio replied, and pointed toward the dinosaur without looking.
Antonio continued to try to get his laptop back on while hiking, as Tommy and Maggie rode on the dinosaurs back toward the cave. They reached the wall-side of the cave and used Ringo as a lift up to the entrance of the cave. Maggie petted the dinosaur on its head and told Ringo to stay and watch for possible intruders while they entered the cave to investigate and explore their newly found residence.

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.

United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up.

The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L.
