I’m not fond of graphic sex either. I might hint at it or show the start of it but usually that’s it.
As for egg laying, I think I did mention the organ, cloaca, that does that, but not too much more detailed.And I only usually do that in my more grown up ones. (Sorry I kinda overreacted about teh Littlefoot dying one. Didn’t get much sleep and somehow thought that it was your idea.)
Nonetheless, the idea of Littlefoot dying, though opposed to it, did give me an idea for my planned LBT finale, the Four Kinds Quest.
As you know, in the original, it almost did seem as if Littlefoot did want to die for a while as he didn’t eat and just moped around, sad about his mother’s death. Eventually, however, his desire to get to the Great Valley, as his mother had requested, overrcome his despair and he went and eventually got to the Great Valley.
In Four Kinds Quest, however, he doesn’t have that anymore. After an incident leads to his lifetime banishment from the place, and him thinking that it’s possible that Chomper went rogue and killed Doc and the Old One and that Strut and some other Egg Stealers had gone rogue and stolen and eaten eggs and that it was all his fault for doing the Four Kinds Quest in hopes of ending the segregation of the Leaf Eaters worldwide. Also, he again blamed himself and his desire to do the Four Kinds Quest for his mother’s death.
He travels back to the Great Divide, though not alone, as Pterano and Etta came with him, as did two Great Valley kids that snuck out after him. However, like before, only worse, he doesn’t really take care of himself and gets very low on food and water (partially to keep food for the kids as there is a famine again.) and finally reaches the spot where his mother died. He lies down, planning to just, as he hopes, die in his sleep, and his mother speaks to him in a dream. He can see her and asks if he is dead and she says not yet but he can go that route if he wants. She talks to him in a near death experience for him, I guess, and talks him into keep going, and he wakses up and finds water and some tree stars nearby and so is able to live.
Stop spamming my thread! Perhaps I should make a new thread. This one seems to be being spammed too much.
I agree. Mr. Threehorn’s wasn’t that bad, but Grandpa Longneck’s seemed too young.
Also, thought not related to XIV, I also thought Littlefoot’s voice in IX was out of place.
Chapter Three: The Fanged Flattooth
[Other stuff not yet written]
His mother was dead. “No!” he cried. He hugged her head. She wasn’t moving. He knew that she was dead, but he couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it. What now? How would he make it to the Great Valley now? What about the Four Kinds Quest?
The Four Kinds Quest! This was it! This was how he could honor her memory! “I’ll find the Great Valley! I promise! I’ll find four different Leaf Eaters, four different Sharpteeth, four different Egg Stealers, and four different Bothteeth before my 25th Hatch Day! I won’t let you down! I’ll be the Great One! I promise!” he vowed. There was nothing more he could do for his mother, so, with regret, he left her. As he left, an aftershock from the Great Earthshake caused the ledge he and his mother had been on to break. He body fell into a crevice and was buried with rocks. That had been close! If he’d stayed there a minute later, he’d have been buried too. At least her body would never be harmed by Sharpteeth now. He set off, looking for the Great Valley.Chapter Two: The Four Kinds Quest
Several days after Littlefoot the Longneck hatched, he asked his mother “Mother where is Dad?”
“Littlefoot, I do not know.” she replied. She had no idea if Bron was even still alive. He had gone to look for a better place for them to live. He, unlike her, didn’t believe that the Great Valley was even real. Hence, he had thought it a foolish quest and had a Plan B. Whatever he was looking for was sure taking some time.Littlefoot was peeved about not having his father around, but he was happy enough with his mother and grandparents. None of them bothered to highlight to Littlefoot that he was a Longneck. They didn’t want him buying into the separation of the kinds. Still, as it was, they themselves didn’t dare try and break the status quo, for fear of being attacked by angry Leaf Eaters who lived it.
One day, Littlefoot was playing. His mother was nearby eating green food. It wasn’t the most plentiful in this famine. He noticed a strange looking green and orange creature. It came up to him. He naively licked it. It then opened its mouth, revealed fangs. The Slithering Sharptooth (Dinalysia) then gave chase. Littlefoot bolted. He cried “Mama!” His mother Arianna, who had been eating leaves, spat them out in horror as she saw her son in danger.Littlefoot ran into a dead end. He turned, horrified, as the creature came toward him. However, he then started to smile as he saw a huge shadow coming. The Slithering Sharptooth didn’t see it though. Before the creature could attack. it was stomped on by Arianna, then grabbed in her mouth and hurled into the air and out of sight. Littlefoot was happy. His mother licked him with her tongue. He was glad that she was around to save him from the dangers of the world.
Of all the dinosaurs that would ever influence Littlefoot, Arianna was, without a doubt, the most influential. Littlefoot spent a lot of time with her. She learned many Longneck stories from her father and told them to Littlefoot. He really loved them.
However, one day about five years after she had laid his egg, Littlefoot finally discovered the other Leaf Eater types. He’d found a Threehorn. The girl was arrogant, but her father was really belligerent. Feeling it was for the best, she separated him from the young orange Threehorn. Littlefoot has asked her why the kinds had always been apart. She said that it had always been that way and that there would be plenty of Longnecks for him to play with in the Great Valley. However, he still wasn’t satisfied.
“I have noticed two flaws with how we raise our young. We try and keep reality from them. When we do tell them about reality, we then tell them that there is nothing they can do to change it, which is even worse than keeping it from them.” sighed Arianna.
“Mother, I want to know why we have to be apart from the other kinds. You said that it has always been that way. Do you have any idea why, any at all?” asked the young Littlefoot. “And why are Sharpteeth so bad? Grandpa says that I must always be careful around them. Are there any good ones?” he asked. Arianna sighed.“Littlefoot, there is a long tale about what happened about our kinds and about Sharpteeth and the other two kinds.” said Arianna.
“Tell me. I want to hear it!” said the five-year old Littlefoot.
“One day, the Bright Circle created the dinosaurs. They all had flat teeth. They lived together in harmony for a long time. However, there came a day when the Leaf Eaters became selfish. Some asked to have spikes on their tails. Others asked for horns. Some asked for clubs on their tails. Others asked for long tails. They all wanted to be able to outdo each other.” said Arianna.
“What?! I thought we got those to fight the Sharpteeth!” gasped Littlefoot.
“No, Littlefoot, we got those because we turned on each other. The Bright Circle wouldn’t give them this wicked wish, but the Bright Circle’s sister, the lesser Bright Circle, was jealous of her brother’s prominence and granted their request out of spite. They started to fight over food and over things. Eventually, they came to taking the lives of others in order to increase their own lots in life. They also tended to separate among their own kinds, snubbing the kinds of others.” Arianna said.
“How awful!” said Littlefoot.
“This continued for a while, the land being stained with blood. Finally, the Bright Circle could stand it no longer. Therefore, he created a creature to punish the Leaf Eaters for their acts of wickedness.
Out of the mountains he fashioned creatures with Sharp Teeth, claws on their hands and feet. Others could fly and yet others could swim. They could eat only meat. Being made of the mountains, they were very hard to beat and could easily take a beating that few Leaf Eaters could take. They came and attacked the Flatteeth, punishing the guilty. The Bright Circle had the Sharpteeth doomed to hunt the Leaf Eaters.” said Arianna.“Wait, isn’t there some way out?” asked the young Longneck, who felt sorry for the Sharpteeth.
“Yes. Oh but it seems so unlikely.” replied Arianna with a sigh. “It was said that only a strong willingness to be friends between a Sharptooth and a Leaf Eater could get the Sharptooth to stay friends with the Leaf Eaters for life and not hunt the Leaf Eaters. Otherwise, the Sharptooth, no matter how hard he tried, would be doomed to hunt the Leaf Eaters.”
“I could be friends with one.” said young Littlefoot hopefully.
“Littlefoot, I think the day would come sooner that Leaf Eaters would work together.” said Arianna, shaking her head.
“If there were a nice one, could I befriend him?” asked Littlefoot, not to be deterred.
“I suppose, if it was for real, and not a trick.” Arianna answered.
“What about the Egg Stealers? How did they come about?” inquired Littlefoot.
“The Leaf Eaters had learned their lesson for a while. However, one day, they started to be cruel to their children. Many children, having had broken lives, continued the abuse on to their children.
Once more, the Bright Circle had had enough. The Bright Circle turned the child-abusing Leaf Eaters into Egg Stealers, where they would now prey upon the child of others in order to live and would steal the eggs of both Flatteeth and Sharpteeth. The Egg Stealers still could eat green if they chose, but only a friendship between a Leaf Eater and an Egg Stealer was said to be able to rid the Egg Stealer of the cruelty in his heart that naturally was there.” said Arianna.“I could do that.” said Littlefoot.
“You are very brave my boy.” said Arianna.
“What about Bothteeth, Mother?” asked Littlefoot.
“After some time, there were some good Leaf Eaters who wanted to be able to survive during times of low green food. Thus, they begged the Bright Circle to be able to eat certain kinds of meat. As they had kind hearts, the Bright Circle consented. They became the Bothteeth.” said Arianna.
“So they became like Sharpteeth?” asked Littlefoot in concern.
“No, they do not eat the Leaf Eaters.” replied Arianna.
“Things continued as they were for a good while. Finally, some evil Leaf Eaters grew extremely greedy. They weren’t content to live as equals among their Leaf Eater brethren. They wanted power and strength to rule over the others.” continued Arianna.
“What happened, Mother?” asked Littlefoot in concern.
“They were not able to get the Bright Circle’s help in this. They saw how the Bothteeth could eat meat and wanted to have this ability. However, the Bright Circle knew that they were up to no good and so he refused.
So they go the help of the Bright Circle’s sister, the Lesser Circle instead. They demanded to have the abilities of Sharpteeth, so that they could hunt Leaf Eaters, Egg Stealers, and Sharpteeth alike. They wanted to reign over the world. They wanted the ability to take blows like Sharpteeth.
The Lesser Circle, jealous of the better spot her brother had, granted their request. They thus became an evil type of Bothtooth. Able to hunt their fellow dinosaurs and also eat leaves, they could survive in environments the other types couldn’t. Thus they became really strong and grew in power. Many of them could eat eggs as well. They soon sought out to rule the whole world.
The Bright Circle found out about this and was furious. He punished his sister by banishing her to be in the night sky, thus making her the Night Circle. This wicked type of Bothtooth was the Fanged Flattooth. The Fanged Flatteeth, unlike the other kinds, served the Night Circle. Thus the four kinds were created.” said Arianna, finishing her tale.Littlefoot didn’t like the sound of the Fanged Flatteeth. If they were real, for he had never seen one (he’d seen Sharpteeth, Egg Stealers, and regular Bothteeth, and, just today, he’d seen another type of Leaf Eater. But never a Fanged Flattooth, he thought they were worse than Sharpteeth. Supposedly, Sharpteeth could only eat meat. If they had to kill to live, it wasn’t their fault. However, if the Fanged Flatteeth had WILLINGLY chose to kill, he didn’t have any sympathy with them. “Mother, are Fanged Flatteeth real? I’ve never seen one.” he asked.
“Oh Littlefoot, neither have I. I hope they aren’t.” she replied. “I hope it’s just the tale.”
“If they are real though, how can they be stopped? Is there a way to get the Leaf Eaters back together instead of always being apart?” he asked, concerned.
” There is a legend on the path to defeat the Fanged Flatteeth and reunite the Leaf Eaters. It says that only when a Leaf Eater is able to unite Leaf Eaters, Sharpteeth, Egg Stealers, and regular Bothteeth to his side as true friends can the Fanged Flatteeth meet their match.” Arianna said.
“I’ll be the one to do it.” he said boldly.
“Littlefoot, it is hard enough to bring Leaf Eaters together. To keep a Sharptooth friend past the time of Great Growing is a feat that would only be attempted by the noblest, bravest, kindest Leaf Eater ever to live.” said Arianna skeptically.
“I’m going to do it. I’ll do it all: other Leaf Eaters, Sharpteeth, Egg Stealers, and Bothteeth!” said young Littlefoot boldly.“Littlefoot, you would be making a big dent in the status quo to do that.” sighed Arianna.
“What’s status-quo?” asked Littlefoot.
“It is what is now and it concerns those unwilling to change what has always been.” Arianna answered.
“Like the separation of the kinds?” Littlefoot asked.
“Precisely.” Arianna said.
“I don’t care. I’ll go against them, whatever it takes!” vowed Littlefoot.
“Then you will need to remain steadfast. Never give up on your dreams Littlefoot. Never let anybody talk you out of it.” she said. “Above all, you must value friendship. You must learn to work together with other kinds if you hope to reach your dream.”
“Don’t lose your way
With each passing day
You’ve come so far
Don’t throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We’ll dream about the sun
In the dark we’ll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I.” she sang.Littlefoot liked the tune of the song. He really loved his mother and assumed that she would be there to help him reach his goal. However, as fate would have it, the Fanged Flatteeth that neither of them were sure existed would snatch her from him, forcing him to continue on his journey on the Circle of Life without her.
Chapter One: The Star Day Secret
In the Mysterious Beyond, the Fast Runners Ovi and Tor gathered to watch their egg hatch. It was an orange colored egg with blue green speckles.
“Do you think it’ll be a boy or a girl?” asked Tor.
“Girl.” replied Ovi.
“I think it’ll be a boy.” argued Tor.
“The next one can be a boy, but I want this one to be a girl.” Ovi objected.
The egg started to move. “It’s hatching!” Tor cried excitedly.[To Be Continued]
Opening: Bron and Arianna
Bron was walking with the brown-colored, violet-eyed Longneck. It was clear that she was different from most other Longnecks. She had actually said hi to a Flyer who was flying past her. The Flyer was so shocked that he had crashed into a tree. Most Longnecks were wary of being around Arianna, but Bron liked her personality. Bron know that her parents were the same way, but they kept their opinions to themselves. While Arianna never tried to break the status quo, at least not openly, Bron knew that she didn’t support it.
“You don’t find me odd, Littlefoot?” she asked him. Bron’s childhood nickname was Littlefoot.
“I do, but not in a bad way.” he replied.
“I don’t see why we can’t be with non-Longnecks.” Arianna said.
“But they won’t even like us Arianna.” said Bron.
“I know. I’ve tried before. It seems that the Leaf Eaters all keep to their own kinds.” Arianna replied.
“Perhaps it’s best that way.” Bron said.
“I don’t think so.” Arianna said.
“Well, it’s always been that way, us being apart.” Bron said.
“No, technically it hasn’t.” she demurred.
“What do you mean?” Bron asked.
“I asked my father about the matter. He is a Story Speaker, as you know. Travels around telling the Longneck stories. He told me the Story of the Four Kinds.” Arianna said.
“What is that about?” Bron asked. Arianna told him. When she was done, he said “That sounds pretty hard to believe that one dinosaur could do that and get Leaf Eaters together again. Whoever even attempted it would have to be pretty bold. And I’ve never even heard of a Fanged Flattooth before, much less seen one.”
“I’ve never seen one before either.” Arianna said.
“That’s because they don’t exist!” laughed Bron.
“Just because you’ve never seen something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.” Arianna argued.
“I suppose so. But this whole story sounds hard to buy. Getting four Leaf Eaters of different types would be a big challenge in itself, let alone also get four different types of Sharpteeth, Egg Stealers, and Bothteeth. It couldn’t be done in a lifetime, let alone before ones 25th Hatch Day.” Bron said.
“Come Bron.” called Bron’s father.
“See you later Arianna.” Bron said, leaving.
Bron met Arianna again the next day. “So, Arianna, do you think that you are this Great One?” Bron asked her jokingly.[To Be Continued]
