CHAPTER ONE

---

Littlefoot woke up feeling sad. It was six years ago today that his mother had been taken from him. How he missed her! But there didn't seem to be any way to get her back. How could one undo what he been done years ago?

Littlefoot got up and went to see his grandparents. He lived with them now that his mother had died. His father Bron, was still around, but now had a migrating herd to watch over. Littlefoot had chosen to stay with his grandparents and friends in the Great Valley. Perhaps if his mother had lived, everything could have been different.

A Flyer flies in out of breath after having made a long journey. She crashes into littlefoot as she intended to land but did not notice him in time.

Littlefooot moans. "Ouch!" he cries. He stares at the Flyer. "Are you ok?" he asks.

The Flyer said "Yeah, sorry kid I guess I misjudged the wind, I normally fly better then this. By the way, you will never guess what two Rainbow Faces told me, a story about when they had a bunch of guys convinced their was a stone of cold fire. Sorry I am still trying to break my habit of ramble talking."

"Stone of Cold Fire? Rainbow Faces? I've seen those two before. But I thought, er, well, they weren't from around here. In fact, I think, well, you wouldn't believe me, but I think they aren't even from the Mysterious Beyond. They're, well, from Beyond the Mysterious Beyond." said Littlefoot.

The Flyers says "So am I, I've been on every island, every continent, I flew so east it became west, so west it became east, so north it became south, and trust me you do NOT want to do that last one. Burrrrr! Oh where are my manners? Hello, my name is Attalias. Nice to meet you kid."

"Hello Attalias. My name is Littlefoot. What brings you to the Great Valley?" he asked.

Attalias replies "Why, the fact that it exists. I go where I please and please where I go. Such a beautiful life of a adventurer! Free to see the world, meet exiting people, no one has explored more then I have! Tell me, how great is this Great Valley of yours?"

"I think it's the best out there, but I haven't been everywhere." Littlefoot replies. "Are you one of those migrating dinosaurs? You don't seem to be staying in one place." he asks her. "And where did you see these Rainbow Faces?"

Attalia said "I've seen them in Berry Valley. They are on their way here!"

"Well, I shall go and meet them." said Littlefoot.
