A loud chirping noise roused Terence from his sleep.
His eyes take a moment to focus. It is still dark right now, with only the moon providing illumination. Barring a chirps from crickets, it is also very quiet, with no calls of raptors filing the air.
After letting out a tyrannosaur-sized yawn, the young male stood up, taking care to avoid waking his sleeping family. After shaking off the last holds of sleep, he began to take in his new surroundings.
The obvious difference between their new territory and their old one was that it had much greater plant coverage then before. While the heart of their original territory had been mostly barren Earth, this one was far greener, with plants covering almost all of the ground. Interestingly, the foliage on the ground was also unlike anything he had seen before, as there were no branches or hard stems, only leaves.
Furthermore, it was... Warmer here that it was in their old territory. It had been getting cooler ever year there, but now it felt much more temperate. The change was surprising, but not unwelcome.
Before Terence could remember any of the other differences between this land and the one he had left, a yipping sound caught his attention. Turning toward it, Terence found himself staring at a strange creature.
It was a mammal of some sort, the furry coat proved that beyond any doubt. It had a reddish-brown coat on its back, while its belly was white. The long face, sharp teeth and forward facing eyes indicated it was a predator. It appeared that it was eating some kind of bird, and had not yet noticed the tyrannosaur.
After taking another bite out of the bird, it yipped again. This time, it received a response in the form of a several softer yips, followed by a small group of mammals emerging from a nearby bush. They appeared to be smaller versions of the first creature.
The tiny beasts quickly set about tearing into the carcass, while the larger one stands guard. Fortunately for Terence, the female overlooks him, mistaking his brown scaled, green feathered body for a fallen tree.
Eventually, the mammals eat their fill, at which point they retreat beyond Terence's field of view. As the tyrannosaur readies to follow them, a brief flash of light catches his eye.
Turning to get a better look, Terence finds the light gone, as if it was never there. Then, another light flashes for a moment, before disappearing into the darkness. Then another appears, then another, until the air fills with light for a moment.
Terence is surprised by this. Having never seen such a vibrant display of color before. True, he had scene glowing creatures before, but never on this scale. He stares eagerly, watching to see what is happening.
As the main group of lights interact with each other, Terence notices one light fly toward him. It flashes periodically, trying to find a return flash. Then, to the light's surprise, it receives a return flash.
Only this one is blue.
Terence looks at his side, the glow subsiding. He always found the glowing spots on his skin confusing. His mother and father always seemed to use them when they argued over who got to eat first from a kill, but he never understood why. Now, though, he was feeling very happy to mess around with them.
Soon, the lights began to leave, with Terence engaging in a brief chase after them. Ultimately, though, the lights escape his reach. Terence is saddened for a moment, only to be distracted again, this time, but the smell of meat.
Terence's nose draws him back toward where he found the strange mammals. Even though they consumed quite a bit of the bird, there is still a fair amount of meat left on it. And right now, that meet smells very appetizing.
Terence quickly begins tearing into the carcass. It tastes different then what he has eaten before, but he does not care. In fact, it actually tastes better than anything other bird he has eaten before.
As Terence continues to devour what is left of the bird, his thoughts return to his new surroundings. They are very strange, that is certain, but they also have many wonders. What else is there to discover here?

AN: Hello, readers.
Now, this is something I've been wanting to do for awhile. You see, everyone always writes stories about Prehistoric Park from the point of view of the humans. But what about the animals that live in the park? What do they think about their new home?
Well, this story is dedicated to explaining that. Each chapter will focus on the point of view of one of the residents of the park. This one, if it wasn't obvious, follow Terence the T. rex right after mission 1 was completed. From here on out, expect to see MANY different points of view, some relatable, others odd.
So, without further adieu, read and review. This is Flameal15k, singing off.
