《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 13 (Part 1)
Advertisement
The Echinosauropteryx carried Antonio across the skies until it reached a tall and gigantic nest. The creature dropped him onto the nest right next to some spotted eggs before turning around and flying back. Antonio came to and placed his hand on his head.
Where am I?
He got up slowly and looked around, noticing the pterodactyl disappeared.
Antonio looked down from the nest, but couldn’t see what was at the bottom because of the tremendous amount of fog surrounding the area. His legs shook, his body covered in sweat, and his heart ricocheted around his ribcage.
He fell back and crawled over behind an egg, unsure of what to do next in this situation. Antonio accidentally knocked over one, causing it to fall and crack open. Much to his surprise, the contents inside were tiny white crystals. He picked one up and scrutinized them.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, an enormous geyser rose from the cavern floor, which was a considerable significant distance from the nest, with a minecart floating above it. The last thing he expected to see in front of him was Tommy, Maggie, and Ruth leaping off the vehicle to the top of the cavern as the geyser went back down. Were they trying to save him? What could they be doing over there?
Antonio stepped back to make sure he didn’t fall off himself. Something vibrated against his back, and he turned to see the eggs about to hatch. Coming out of the eggs were a bunch of smaller, ferocious Echinosauropteryx’ crawling and charging toward Antonio. He ran for his life around the nest, hoping not to get caught or trip and fall.
“Hang on; I’m coming!” Tommy shouted from a distance.
Tommy rushed over to the edge and leaped over to the nest. Antonio looked over in shock as his friend missed the nest and fell. He could grab onto the rough patches around the nest and stop his descent. Tommy climbed to the top, where his friend waited to pull him up.

As soon as Tommy landed safely inside the nest, Antonio continued getting swarmed by the tinier Echinosauropteryxs, who didn’t hesitate to poke him to no end. Tommy rushed over to shoo away the small dinosaurs.
Without warning, they heard Maggie’s voice yelling for them to ‘Watch out’ as the bigger Echinosauropteryx returned, flapping its wings in anger above the nest. Tommy pushed Antonio out of the way before the Echinosauropteryx grabbed and carried him away. Antonio tried to reach for him by extending his hand, but couldn’t get to him quickly enough.
As the Echinosauropteryx lifted the Tommy over to the smaller ones with their beaks opening and closing, the big dinosaur soon got hit by rocks. Everyone turned to see Maggie on the other side of the cliff, throwing stones from her red backpack.
“Let him go you—”
“No, wait!” Ruth exclaimed, grabbing her arm. “You’re just going to make—”
The Echinosauropteryx let go of Tommy, causing him to fall off and miss the nest.
“TOMMY!” Antonio cried out.
Without hesitating, he leaped off the nest and followed Tommy, leaving Maggie and Ruth to gasp, horrified. As the two continued to fall, Antonio noticed the white crystal lifting out of his pocket and glow. Antonio quickly snatched it back and prayed with all his might that he and Tommy would make it out ok.
“Come on, Crystal, please don’t fail me now!” Without warning, a great big flash appeared before their eyes, and they disappeared without a trace.
From the cliffside, just a short distance away from the high nest, Maggie and Ruth watched in bewilderment as the whole scene unfolded right before their eyes.
Where did they go? Are they ok?
Just then, another flash showed up above them as Tommy and Antonio reemerged and landed on the ground safely.

“Whoa, how did you do that?” Maggie snapped around and asked.
“Well...” Antonio tried to get out a sentence, but the four seemed to have almost forgotten about the fact that the Echinosauropteryx was still around. A roar came from behind them.
As the four dashed in the opposite direction, trying to avoid the creature’s wrath, Antonio remembered he still had the white crystal in his hand. He tried his luck again by rubbing the shard, hoping the same tactic would work once more. Sure enough, the flash of light brightened around them as the group got whisked away just as the creature reached for them.

Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).
