Inside a dark egg, a new predator was ready to see the world, but first, she had to get out of her egg. She bashed her head against the shell, sunlight filled the shell, giving the young dinosaur hope, she headbutted the shell again, breaking free from it, she lay in the nest, painting. The only other egg also started to break, she watched it from the ground, her brother soon joined her in the world, she nipped at him, she noticed that she had powerful hind legs, she wiggled her toes, it fascinated her, her brother watched her, just as fascinated. A warm breath blew over both of the newborns, their mother sniffed each of them, she was a blue color, her eyes had a kind shine to them. She gently picked them up, setting them down, the little female had figured out what her powerful hind legs wherefore, putting them under her, she pushed up. She was standing! Her brother mimicked her, they stood together, taking in their surroundings, she was fascinated, the forest loomed over her head, a breeze brought the scent of a near by river, she could even smell the salty ocean that lapped at the shore miles away.
"Hey! Claw we got siblings!" A teenage dinosaur roared, she ran over to the two newborns, the female stepped closer, curious about her sister "She looks like ice, you know from the frozen lake you fell through last winter" the teenager chirped, she was green, with dark green dots on her shout. Claw waked up, he was a light red, the sibling had yellow eyes, when the hatching looked at her brother, she saw he had yellow eyes too
"OK, that is enough" Their mother gently shooed them away "Go tell your grandfather" The adult laid down, she set her head on the ground. "I think I have a perfect name for you, little ones" she gently nuzzled the hatchings "I think it should be Ice, and your brother should be Slash. You two are very special, your great-grandfather was Speckles, he was a fighter, and you will be too" Ice and Slash looked at each other, they didn't know what their mother was talking about. The earth started shaking, the newborns hid behind their mother, three more dinosaurs like them, the tallest carried a herbivore carcase, he dropped it in front of Ice's mother, spotting the two hatchings he bent down, sniffing them, Ice thought it was a game and tried to claw her way onto his brown snout, he gently shook her off.
"Do they have names yet, Wake?" he asked Ice's mother, she nodded
"The blue one is Ice, her brother is Slash" Wake nudged both of them, in turn. Ice yawned, she wasn't hungry, not yet, at least. She let her hind legs fold under her, bringing her to the ground.
