The Primal Warriors

Prologue

The sun began to rise over the large island known as ARK. As the life-giving rays bathe the surrounding land, many of the fauna begin to start their day. The herbivores, large and small, begin to move down the river to first get a morning drink and then begin foraging. And also always stalking the herds are the ever present carnivores, always looking for an easy meal.

Like the rest of the island, the areas near the ocean also began to start the day. But the start of the does in these areas does not start with the rising sun. It begins with the morning cries of the Ichthyornis. These seabirds are slightly larger than pigeons and general have the appearance of seagulls except for one feature; the rows of teeth running down their beaks. As the birds begin to wake up and move around, they also start to call out to each other. Soon the entire beach is alive with the sounds of squawking. All the noise soon wakes up one of the many island predators.

Resting on the branch of a large tree, the creature begins to wake up from its nap. Measuring over 15 feet long and weighing a little over 1,500 lbs, the creature had the appearance of a feline. But there were quite a couple characteristics that distinguished it. It had light, leathery skin with darker stripes running down its sides. While mostly hairless, it had a comb of light reddish fur running down its back. But it's most distinct feature was its skull. Measuring at over 60 centimeters, it had rows of massive fangs, including a pair at the front that were over 16 inches long. All in all, this creature was the largest predator in the area.

Realizing it wouldn't be able to get some more rest from all the squawking, the predator let out a loud yawn and lept from its branch. Walking on all fours, it moved down to the nearby creek to get a drink of water and relieve itself. After all was said and done, it went down to the beach to look for anything that might have washed up the night before. Although it was quite an efficient hunter, it had neither the mood nor the energy to hunt anything, relying on scavenging. By the time it started looking for something to eat, the sun was pretty high in the sky, bathing the entire beachfront in a bright light. After a couple of hours walking along the beach, the creature noticed a glimmer in the distance surrounded by it was a large fish, it walked towards it until it was 30 feet away from it. It soon realized that it wasn't a fish but something it has never seen before.

The "thing" in the sand had the appearance of the giant apes found further inland but had some differences to it. It was completely hairless except for a mass of hair on top of its head. It was also significantly smaller than the giant apes. The glittering was coming from a bright grey rock embedded in one of its limbs. As the creature continued to observe, thinking if it should or not eat this strange beast, the thing began to wake up. Not knowing if it was dangerous or not, it moved behind a nearby large rock. It listened for several minutes as the strange thing was making noise until it could here it moving away. It looked around the rock to see the thing move towards the tree line. Making up its mine, it waited a few more minutes before following it from a distance as they both moved more inland.

Alex's P.O.V.

Alex was at a lost for words at his current situation. The last thing he remembered was going to sleep and the next he wakes up on some tropical beach. Normally that would be a good thing for most people and he was no exception. The only reason for concern was HOW THE HELL DID HE GET THERE. After he got over his shock, he noticed a strange object embedded into his arm. After trying to get it out for a couple of minute, he quickly realize he risked permanently damaging his arm if he has to remove it. He then looked around at his surroundings to get a basic idea of where he was. He was on a sandy beach surrounded by large rocks. In front of him was a tropical rainforest and took his back was an ocean. Noticing he was starting to heat up from the sun he started to move towards the trees for better shelter. As he moved through the forest, he noted that the sounds of the forest sounded different than what he was used to, but he soon pushed that to the back of his mind.

What did you expect this is a jungle, he thought to himself.

As he moved further inland, he noticed a large hill up ahead, he climbed it to get a better view and try to find any signs of human civilization. When he got to the top however, he was met with a breathtaking sight. A river was snaking through the forest until it emptied around a large object floating in the sky several miles away. The object had a similar design to the thing in his arm and was emitting a green light. But what caught his attention the most was what was below him. Along the river were several large extinct animals, from dinosaurs to prehistoric mammals. He can also make out the long necks of sauropods breaking through the tops of trees. There were what appeared to be at first large birds (but now he had a pretty good guess at what they really were) flying through the sky. The sight before him was something straight out of a science fiction novel. It was one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen, but there was one thought moving through his mind.

"Where the hell am I?", he mumbled to himself.

Unknownst to him, at the bottom of the hill further in the forest, he was being watched by a pair of yellow eyes.

Alright now that was the first chapter to the start of my story. I know it's shorter but bear with me. I plan to make the story last longer. Leave a comment or leave any questions and i'll do my best to answer them. Also as a little bonus can you guess the mysterious creature that's following Alex (hint: this creature lived in real life but hasn't officially been announced by the devs.

One last thing to note is that as the story goes along i'll be introducing more characters. I already have two OC's already. If you guys want your OC in the story leave it in the comments and i'll pick as many as I can. With that out of the way, thats all for now folks and stay tuned for the next installment of The Primal Warriors.
