Chapter 6

Back To the Valley

The sun was now high up in the sky. Everyone was starting to wake up; Spike awoke first, feeling hungry he went outside to get something to eat. Little did he know what had happened to the land while they were sleeping; a small earthquake had struck in the middle of the night causing the land to change and stopping them from recognising the way back. Spike ran back into the cave and shouted to wake everyone up. Everyone slowly started to wake and get up. As Ruby got up she looked down to see Dimitri still sleeping. She smiled and then looked surprised to see a wet mark running down his nose. She felt her mouth and noticed she had been drooling in her sleep. Embarrassed, she quickly wiped her mouth and tried to wipe the drool off Dimitri, but couldn't do it before he got up.

"Hey Spike why are you shouting"? Dimitri asked.

They all turned to look at him and they saw the drool. They all started to laugh.

"What, what is it"? Dimitri asked.

"There's drool on your face" Ike said laughing.

Spike now laughing with the others forgot about their predicament. Dimitri wiped the drool off his nose and laughed

"Okay, who was it"? He said smiling.

"Um, it was me" Ruby said owning up "sorry".

Dimitri laughed again.

"It's alright Ruby no need to worry". He said smiling at her, she ran to him and hugged him.

"Well anyway, what did you wake us for Spike"? Littlefoot asked.

Spike suddenly remembered and ran outside the others followed.

"What in the..." Cera said astonished.

"Damn" Ike said running his fingers through his hair.

"An earthshake" Cassie said.

"Earthquake" Ike corrected.

"Your language is weird" Sharpy said "first the sky water is called rain and now earthshakes are called earthquakes".

"Well that's what it's called in Tellius" Ike said shrugging.

"That doesn't matter now" Drake said "We've got to find our way back to the great valley; the grown-ups are probably really worried".

"Well knowing the grown-ups, they should come looking for us any second" Ali said.

"Okay but in the meantime, we need to put in the effort to get back ourselves as well" Rhett said.

"Okay" Everyone shouted.

The land had changed so much that they couldn't figure out how to get back, as if that wasn't a big problem they hadn't eaten since yesterday and surprise, surprise they were hungry. XP

"Me hungry" said Petrie.

"Yeah me too" Littlefoot said.

"Well how bout' we sit down for a while and I can share my vulneraries with you" Said Ike.

"What are vulneraries"? Winona asked.

"Well they're food" Ike replied.

"Oh ok then how about you share them out with us" Cera said.

"No need to be rude Cera" said Ruby.

"Ok so there are sixteen of us so we'll need six vulneraries" Ike said

"What"? Dimitri said confused, "how does that work"?

"Well" Ike started "each vulnerary is worth three helpings so if we do three times six we have eighteen, and since there are sixteen of us there will be two left over get what I'm saying"?

"I think so" Dimitri said.

"Well just watch as I turn six vulneraries into eighteen" said Ike

Ike split the vulneraries between everyone and surely enough they managed to split them all until everyone had a piece.

"Now we all have one yep, yep, yep" Ducky said happily.

"Dig in everyone" said Ike.

They all looked at him, shrugged and started to dig, Ike facepalmed himself.

"It means eat" Ike said frustrated.

"Oh well why didn't you say so" Cassie said.

"Strange language" Sharpy whispered under her breath.

"I heard that" Ike said before shaking his head and getting ready to eat.

"Umm Ike"? Chomper said

"Yeah Chomper" Ike replied.

"Do you have anything with meat on it"? Chomper asked.

"Yeah do you"? Sharpy asked.

"Well there is a human and 13 other creatures sitting here" Ike said laughing.

They all looked at Ike unimpressed at his bad joke.

"You guys are no fun" He said, "Yeah I've got meat, here ya go".

He grabbed a satchel of meat and threw it to them.

"Thank you Ike" Sharpy said playfully.

"You're... Welcome" Ike said puzzled by Sharpy's sudden mood change.

"Hey Ike what are we eating"? Littlefoot asked.

"Back in Tellius we make bread" Ike replied.

"It's called bread"? Horns asked.

"As Ducky would say yep, yep, yep" Ike said smiling.

They all laughed even Ducky who didn't seem the least bit offended by the joke.

"Now you're laughing" Ike said pleased with himself.

"Tastes good" said Drake happily munching away on a loaf.

They all ate, and ate, and ate until they were full. Then there came a familiar voice.

"Littlefoot"!

Littlefoot perked up and listened again.

"Littlefoot"! The voice came again, Littlefoot instantly recognised the voice, it was his Grandfather's voice.

"Guys I can hear Grandpa"! Littlefoot shouted, "Quickly let's shout back".

"Grandpa I'm over here" Littlefoot shouted.

"Grandpa Longneck"! The others shouted.

"Children keep shouting I'm following your voice"! Grandpa Longneck shouted.

"Over here"! They all shouted out.

Grandpa Longneck followed the voices until he found them all grouped together by a tree.

"Ahh, here you all are, we were so worried when you didn't come back to your nests last night".

"We're sorry Grandpa" said Littlefoot, "but Ike over there kept us safe".

"Oh yes, yes, yes" said Ducky, "he was so brave against the Sharptooth.

Grandpa Longneck gave Ike a strange look, Ike looked back in amazement at this mighty creature which stood tall directly over him.

"What are you exactly"? Grandpa Longneck asked.

Ike gulped and took a deep breath.

"W-well Mr. L-longneck I'm a B-beorc" Ike said scared at the possibility that if he made one wrong move, or said one wrong thing he would get crushed.

"Are you scared"? Grandpa Longneck asked.

"To be quite honest, I am" Ike said sweat dripping down his face.

"There is no need to be frightened Ike" Grandpa Longneck said smiling, "you protected the children from danger and for that I am truly grateful".

Ike instantly stopped worrying and he smiled back at him.

"Come now everyone" Grandpa Longneck said, "Back to the great valley, you are welcome to come with us Ike".

"Well I really have no choice" Ike said, "I don't know how I got here or what I'm doing here".

"Oh well you're welcome to stay with us for however long you need to" Grandpa Longneck said.

"Thank you" Ike said.

"Now, tell me more about yourself Ike and tell me more about your seven friends here Littlefoot" Grandpa Longneck said as he started walking back.

They all started walking with him and they talked their way all the way back.
