A new day? Or time dawned. Lights filled the cavern and the tribe woke up from slumber. The little ones ran around excited to play, the females went to hunt and the males scattered across the territory for threats. After the tribe had breakfast which was some huge monster like an ox, they went about their business.
Zilla met with other female titanosaurian outside for their gossi-chat about their daily life. They're seated in a circle by a pond, chatting and having fun. Zilla turns her head to see an odd dust cloud in the sky, "That's odd."
A female looks at her, "What's odd, Zilla?" Zilla shrugs, "No, it's nothing. But I still can't believe you told him to his face." The female speaks with pride, "I know right. He said he could fly like a bird and nearly plunged himself into a chasm." Another female sighs, "Why are males so dumb? Even if you want to profess your love, you don't have to jump into an endless void to prove it." Though it's not endless.
The first female speaks, "Exactly, I already know how he feels. And he's, my husband!" She acts like a drama queen, "Sometimes he pretends to not see things and asks me to help him, just so he can sniff me." Then a different female speaks giggling, "Hihihi, but you like it!" the first female tries to hide her blush.
Zilla turns to look at the dust clouds, she stares at it in thought, "Those look like the metal toys little Nytri plays with. But if she was here, I would've sensed it by-" Zilla looks in the opposite direction, "....." She rises to her feet with worry, "Nytri?....but she can't be here, it's hasn't been long since she left."
A female stares at Zilla, "My my my, you have been growing." She giggles. Another female hugs Zilla, "I want you to know, we're happy with you here…..After that incident." Zilla pulls away, "Don't worry Verg, I'm alright." Zilla sits down sadden, "Sometimes...I wish he was with us. So he'd see our little Nytri." The females hug Zilla to comfort her.
A male rushes to the females with news and anxious at that, "Guys guys guys, something's come up. We've gotta go to the border, now!" the females didn't ask questions and left immediately.
When the reached the border, the entire tribe looked into the distance. Zilla looked down and saw tracks, she sniffed the air and surprise filled her, "Nytri is here?!"
The male that called her is confused, "Huh? No no no. It's something else." They kept looking in the distance and saw a pair of Alpha Titanosaurian coming towards them. The king is before them, "Well, what happened?"
The two reach before the king and speak, "Grandfather, we followed the strange feeling to a territory riddled with war and corpses. It seems they wanted to become the king of the territory."
The king tilts his head, "A king, so? How does that relate to us?" One of the males who was beside the king spoke, "Could it be that the blood dragons were wrong?" Then the second titanosaurian that went to scout spoke, "No, they weren't." This got their attention, "We did sense one of our own was on that land. The land had rivers of gold, silver and red liquid."
Zilla gasps, "It can't be." She moves before the 2, "Did you get a scent?" Zilla's heart starts beating with worry. One of the scouts touch her shoulder, "Be still Zilla, for your child Nytri is alive." Zilla sighs with relief slumping down onto the ground, "That child makes my heart worry too much." Then a thought dawns and she asks, "Wait, if you picked a scent there, whose was it? I'm the only one who leaves the land…..Oh no!" She exasperated.
Then the first scout turns to the king, "Grandfather, the previous king of that land, was killed by our own." This surprised everyone even the king and he speaks, "How is this possible? No battle can be won so quickly. Could it be that the war has been going on without our notice?" One of the males who protect the territory spoke, "Impossible, if a war did breakout, our friends would join us."
The second scout speaks, "Indeed, we met a few blood dragons and they were prepared to join. But even they arrived later." Then the first scout speaks, "But they did see something before arriving. From what they described….." the scouts look at each other and the first speaks, "We think it's Zilla's child."
The king grabs the 2 of them, "Is she alright? What else did our friends tell you?" the second scout speaks, "They won the battle and left before the others got to the territory to vie for dominance." The king releases them sighing in relief, "Wait, if she was returning, shouldn't she pass through here?"
Zilla point at the tracks, "I believe that would be her tracks." The tribe couldn't see at first so they shrink down to about 400meters to 700meters. They stare at the tracks for a while and one elderly female speaks, "No matter how you look at it," she shrugs, "Little Nytri's feet are 2. Those are way more than 2 pitter-patter feet."
The king sniffs the tracks in thought, "Indeed, others were here. I smell the hatchlings and strange ones mixed in. Must be the foreigners." Then he looks at his territory sadden, "But why didn't they greet us? I would have thrown a feast for them." The others stare at the king with worry, he clears his throat, "Ahem, it seems our little Nytri has conquered a territory." He mumbles, "At such a young age."
Zilla sighs, "Again." This shocks everyone and the king turns to Zilla, "Young one, do you mean to say this isn't the first time little Nytri has conquered a territory?!" Zilla sighs with a soft smile, "That troublemaker, I turn my eyes away for a moment and she pulls an impossible stunt."
Everyone is impressed and the king speaks, "Waow, that young one is energetic. I wonder who was her first prey." Zilla sighs, "The Qillin." They all freeze. The king scratches his neck, "No wonder our neutral neighbors demanded blood." Then a male around the king speaks, "Luckily their flesh takes exquisite." They burst out laughing.
The king turns to Zilla, "Zilla, you should teach Nytri restraint." Zilla stares at the king with a raised brow and the king speaks, "...Ok, it looks like that won't work….Then you should teach her who are friends are an-….." Zilla still stares at him and the king sighs, "…..Do you need a nanny?"
"I wish," Zilla groans, "But that brat can ran so fast it's hard to see where she'll head next." The king squints his mouth, "What about or friends the Lovecraftian? Maybe they can keep an eye on her." Zilla shakes her head, "Ryu influenced her to prank them but Old Lecu seems to enjoy it. The part he punishes the children actually. But he is great at catching Nytri and she's always training on how to escape from him, she's even got Ryu into shape."
They laugh, "Hahahahaha." The king speaks, "That's a good sign, she's taking a liking to the Lovecraftians and she has her own territory. Zilla, do you think she'll be alright?"
Zilla shrugs, "This is Nytri we're talking about! One look away from her and she wins a war. I doubt anything bad will happen to her." The king chuckles, "Hahahaha, wonderful. But," His previous expression vanishes in an instance and he gazes away to the horizon, "If anyone dares to even look at my sweet grandchild wrong…." Bloodlust like a tsunami spreads from the entire tribe to the direction, "Plucking their eyes is the best thing to happen to them." He releases a reverberating roar across the land *ROOAAARR* and the tribe roars with him *ROOOAARRR*
The entire tribe charge into the distance with the king in the lead. The king's chest start to glow across his body and his speed doubles, the same happens to the tribe. In a few breaths, they've raced over 40 kilometers before coming to a stop. And in their wake, the corpses of a giant serpents spreading for 5 kilometers.
