Near the Raptor camp the wyvern lay on the edge of a cliff, crying, the wall covered with blood.

The smell drove the predators crazy, which attracted Vicky.

Vicky arrived in ambush and almost jumped on Louise and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Louise? All this blood... be careful, the predators are going crazy!"

Louis looked at his friend.

"Sorry Vicky... I'm horrible... sorry..."

Vicky: ????

"But your paw!!! You're bleeding badly! How did you get this wound?

Louise didn't know how to put on or hide anymore..

"I've been a naughty dragoness...and...Enka, grandma punished me.."

Vicky looked Louise up and down and laughed..

"You dared??... You dared to defy the Destroyer???"

But Louis was afraid, she still had to write the sentence dozens of times...

Vicky squeezed her. "Stop hurting yourself. You were scolded... but I'm sure she loves you... but you must have done something wrong."

Somehow a little kobold jumped into Louise's arms...

"Godmother?"

She was too weak to speak, her throat still hurt, but the little mute kobold took a paste of medicinal plants and wrapped the bruised finger and made a bandage with a roll of gauze she had brought from the village before running away.

They gathered by the fire and covered each other with their wings to keep warm.

Vicky whispered to Louise, "You know, he knows how to be gentle, Apex... You can't imagine how good I am with him and we hunt together all the time... And when he climbs on me, I would stay for days and pray that it lasts longer. And the top is to fall asleep with pleasure when he makes love to me.

Louise: "Stop it... I'm going to leave... and you know there are eggs afterwards and little ones to take care of!!? Do you even know that?

Vicky : "Ehh??? who do you think I am?"

"I wanted to know..."

Vicky: "You want to share Apex with me?"

"STOP! NO MORE WORDS"

And Louise, offended, got up and went to lie on the other side of the fire, Vicky leaving a lament...

"Sorry, Vicky but... I need to be alone for a while now..."

Reflexively, she rolled her tail against her belly in a protective reflex. Being naked and just covered with scales, she was ashamed of her state.

Sleep took her between two sobs, yet raptors were drumming and dancing around another fire, where they were all gathered. The savages were telling the civilized about their adventures on the new land and comparing their hunting techniques with those from Vegeta, well those who remembered because most of them were too young and had fought the modern war under the command of the Brotherhood against the nation states (Ex UN, Global Defense) and the madness of the war that ended up polluting the whole planet and making the jungles unlivable for animals like dinosaurs. And the terrible Agent Violet, a kind of "Agent Orange" but instead of defoliating, it made the dinosaurs and, finally, all the fauna die.

This is also why the dragoraptors were not motivated by a thirst for conquest.

A light the size of a moth came around the fire and no raptor noticed it, except Louise who woke up a little but saw no danger.

She was protecting the little Kobold.

The fairy butterfly landed next to Louise:

XXX, I thank you again for freeing me but I see that you are suffering... and she saw the poultice on her finger.

She touched it and the claw reappeared.

"This is to thank you...sweet Wyverne..Louise, right?"

She whimpered a little: "Thank you kind fairy..."

XXX: "You're not wild animals!! everyone thought that!"

Louise: "We are refugees, we are not looking for stories. And I only wish to find my family. I miss them."

The fairy arrived in front of the huts made of wood and wicker nests filled with skins.

"What is all this?"

Louise woke up and accompanied the luminous butterfly.

xxx: "Aren't you afraid of me?

With Mamy, I have my dose.

xxx: "I can understand..."

Louise: "Yes, they weave rope. To store fruit and bacon during the winter.

Oil lamps, hooks, spikes, nails and some tools

We have our greenhouses and we already do a lot of work with them.

Here we have feather and skin ornaments. This season it's for us but we plan to barter and introduce currency, well a few things we've learned from where we come.

xxx: "And do you pray?"

Louise: "Yes, we all pray! We pray to the sun and the moon and Enka, and I pray to God a little bit, but there are not many of us left. Dad saved what he could from the old religions, but everything is gone.

XXX: "And the destroyer?"

Louise "Well.. It wasn't great with the other religions, she was still their arch-enemy but...We give her thanks..We all owe her our lives..It's normal to pray to a goddess who protects us, isn't it?"

XXX: "The conflict should never have been...Enka is a cult to a Hydra, a natural, animal religion and the other religions are...more...spiritual."

This was still gibberish to Louise and these questions of liver and religion made no sense.

In the valley north of the mountain, Kedra had been spotted by a pack of terrifying wolves, "Dire Wolves", wolves the size of a pony, so very large and powerful.

Their jaws were strong enough to crunch a human skull like a nut.

There must have been 6 or 7 of them, but Kedra put all his energy into running and twirling his assegai to prevent the deadly jump.

One of the wolves bit him in the thigh but his skins lessened the damage and he managed to climb a dead tree.

The snow had not made the run any easier and Kedra was exhausted.

The wolves lay at his feet and some of them, especially the black one, dug behind the tree and the others jumped, pushed the tree so that it twisted and made the human fall.

They were real monsters who wanted to kill Kedra, throwing carcasses further away, as if the human was a monster to be eliminated.

He had been playing with his assegai for hours and one of the wolves managed to grab it with its mouth and did not let go and twisted the assegai, ripping it out of his hands.

Kedra retreated to the higher branches as the hungry wolves jumped up and down, cracking the tree.

The dominant wolf's ploy was paying off. He was used to hunting humans, elves and especially goblins.

He then heard "HUAH HUAH" and felt this time that it was over, that his time had come.

The tree cracked and he was thrown backwards, his skull hitting a stone.

The impact was terrible and he lost consciousness, knocked out.

He thought it was over, forever...

He sank into the darkness for a brief moment, then found his consciousness in a cave, a crazy pain in the neck, his arms and thighs lacerated.

He didn't know how to move anymore.

The assegai was in his back, and he was tied with wolf leather straps. His feet were tied and his hands were also tied behind his back.

There was a fire in the cave and on the other side, skins and a man lying in them...he had like a helmet with horns on the side and was moaning, probably a broken leg and he had a fever.

And, all of a sudden, a monstrous creature appeared.

It had like a helmet screwed on its head but the teeth [https://img.wattpad.com/945c33f258ade6c42e8502fc40f8fe516ab4ab51/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f396c3661797a4a7133376f4a39773d3d2d313238393334383838332e313732613963656430396134633039303439353834383639393635342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

It had like a helmet screwed on its head but the teeth. what teeth!

Behind her, the black wolf, gutted and roasting, impaled on an antler and its skin stretched over a rock.

The smell was appalling.

Folded against its body, it had wyvern wings but was definitely a "trencher", a dinosaur but different, bigger and more slender than a raptor. More powerful and above all mounted with a magical optic.

Kedra thought magical because technology and magic were one and the same in the Mesozoic/Neanderthal era.

The creature snapped its jaws and sounds came out of it, but they were incomprehensible.

It was intelligent and Kedra showed its bound hands. The creature turned its head to the side to get a good look at the human and turned up its lips to show its teeth, that it wasn't kidding.

It lifted a claw from its front paw and cut the leather strap, freeing both hands.

Kedra let go of the predator's gaze to focus on the assegai behind him, but the snout came up to sniff and look Kedra in the eye and its paw was placed on the assegai on purpose.

Kedra looked down, submissive and defeated.

He expected to be slit, eaten instantly and waited for a fatal bite that did not come.

He noticed that his leg wound had been treated with leaves and a green paste held in place by a leather strap.

Kedra "ME KEDRA!"

And he struck his chest.

The creature stepped back and pointed at the back of Kedra's neck, the mark eye of chaos, or rather the symbol of the Destroyer.

Then it pointed at the motionless man.

Immediately, Kedra saw the misplaced bones or a severe sprain and jammed the foot between two stones and straightened the bruised limb.

The human let out a cry of pain and fell back into sleep.

Kedra waved water. And drew a river

He took the assegais and tied the straps to make a stretcher and rolled the man on it.

The dinosaur understood and picked up the two antlers and Kedra, the other side.

Together they went down the river, but the wyvern, half humanoid, half raptor, and finally something else, was not hostile at first sight, and its presence kept away any bold and reckless predator.

With a furry skin, he wet and wetted the forehead of the human who had a beautiful costume and an even more beautiful sword.

He must have been an important person... a leader...

They made a fire at the edge and the fever fell, and the fever that Kedra should have had, never came.

Kedra insisted with the creature

"I.. KEDRA!"

The dinosaur thumped its chest, understanding the gesture and a growl came out of its throat:

"RRRRPT""RRRRPT"!!!

It was difficult with a human jaw to communicate like that.

The next day..the human had his eyes open...

"AHHHH what a headache..." but Kendal kept his distance from the creature and was surprised by the communication between the human and the drago dilophosaurus.

The Dilo was clutching the human he was protecting between his paws and against him.

He gave him a pat and turned to Kendal and greeted him, still stuck.

He saw that his leg was reduced to a fracture or sprain, held between the antlers

and he signaled to the Dilo who gave him a pouch

Then he tried to speak faintly, "V.VVVVolkor!!!" but he had pointed ears. He was not a human, but an elf. But he was too big, too strong. A human with elf ears and unknown tattoos.

Maybe he was neither human, nor elf!.

He made signs in the air and traced symbols and a green spider web appeared.

Kedra did not know it, but it was Ummite magic. Not very powerful, but enough to heal himself.

He pulled the web across his leg and tugged at it, and like a knitting machine, the flesh and bone snapped back into place and he gritted his teeth, the pain probably excruciating.

He pressed the cloth against his chest and took a deep breath.

The next moment he stood up and cast another spell.

His outfit was brand new again and he appeared as a god.

Kedra threw herself at his feet but the man lifted him up, showing his chest and trying out a dialect as close to Kedra's as possible.

He spoke like his mother Roth! and Kedra could understand.

"Hello Human. My name is Volkor and I am the ancient emperor of the Ummite people of the stars. This is Rapetou, my dinosaur drago friend from the Devourer faction."

But Kedra didn't know anything at all.

They were the tribe and she didn't even have a name.

Rapetou showed Volkor Kedra's neck with a claw and he saw a symbol of the hydra.

"Kedra... my name is Kedra, son of Tau and Roth... Lord Volkor... you speak my mother's language."

Volkor turned to Rapetou.. "That explains it!"

Rapetou and Volkor bowed and thanked Kedra for the first aid and for bringing down the fever.

Volkor continued.

"Rapetou is from a tribe of dinosaur creatures intelligent like you and able to trade and barter. and we are alone and have been wandering for months trying to survive.

The elves are very aggressive and although I know their culture, here they are different, dangerous, stronger and have a baseless hatred for us.

Humans also attacked us and with two of us, it's hard to survive.

Rapetou has wings but doesn't know how to use them yet... and we would like to join your tribe. Our knowledge and Rapetou could help you survive this winter.. "

Kedra: "My father and Roth are the only ones to decide, but they will not be ungrateful. You saved my life and...I remember, Rapetou...he threw me the rope... It's him..Thank you."

So the trio set out again for the camp to the north, but first they had to cross the terrible territory of the wyvern again.

But Rapetou was here and that changed everything.

He too had big teeth and powerful talons. Their arrival in the tribe could become a precious treasure and Kedra could already imagine eating the wyvern that had killed her friend Sit.

Her eyes sparkled with revenge.

They would regain their strength tonight, under cover and waiting for the snowstorm to subside.

At the edge of the fire, Volkor showed the young hunter some metal objects and a sword. A terrible and timeless weapon for them.

But then Kendal took out of his pocket a glass plate. A terminal

Volkor was startled.

"YES!! a Village terminal! I know how to make it work!"

He turned it on and quickly, a map appeared showing their position, the black mountain and the position of the nomadic camp, but also several camps equally distant from each other.

He read the log and the mission orders. And so he could get an idea of the general situation.

"Kedra, we will have to be brave, but the work that awaits us is terrible... you see these red and green points...

There are cities and villages... but they are enemies... at least the computer marked them as such and I guess your goddess..."

But he noticed that Kedra had picked up the phone and that this was all very complicated. Even more so for Rapetou...

I miss Louise," he said, "my brother, where is he?

And he remembered the horrible transformation in the infernal machine where he and his brother were plunged to have their DNA modified.

He, from Raptor to Dilophosaurus and his brother to Allosaurus... then their bite and Nicholas' lycantropic venom... his most horrible secret And also the reason for his imprisonment by Enka... too dangerous!!!"
