《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 13 (Part 1)

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.

Demonizing Matters
A high fantasy drama about a young woman who finds out a demon secret. This secret sparks a growing conflict between demons and humans. While trying to save her own life and dealing with the unexpected consequences of her actions, she falls in love with a hated demon. We follow the drama of Lita, alongside a cast of several other POV characters, as she discovers secrets (both open and purposefully hidden), makes well intentioned but sometimes disastrous decisions, and encounters prejudices and truths. Demons may be evil… or not. Humans may be good… or not. God is aloof… or not. Publishing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is my first real work! Super excited to be publishing! I don’t spend a lot of time describing gore, sex, trauma or any other type of scene that would be labeled as mature. I've labeled the story as mature in every way more because I don't quite understand the standard and don't know if I've crossed the line at all (and I'd rather be safe than get my story rejected for under labeling ;)). Mostly I hint, start the scene then interrupt/fade out, and in general let the reader know it happens but without making it too explicit. (I’d love to hear how I did on this! And if it was still entertaining/informative without being traumatizing.) This is what I prefer to read myself so that’s what I write. I’m not apologizing. ;) If I mislabeled my mature content it was by accident. And, yes, the pacing was also on purpose. Beyond that, I welcome any feedback you want to give! Enjoy the story!
