Chapter 14: The master of the sky
Many dinosaurs would prefer to keep themselves close to the ground. Others however prefer to take to the skies. Indeed there are dinosaurs that can fly much like birds and bats. One such fellow was Cero, a Cearadactlylus, a member of the pterosaur family. He is a full grown adult with a wingspan around four meters and weighing about 14 kilograms. He and his family have lived here ever since he was old enough to fly.
Unlike many of the dinosaurs and other pterosaurs, Cero and his kind were not natives of Isla Sorna. No they were not created here nor were the majority of them born here. Instead they hailed from a distant island far across the ocean, an island with dinosaurs as well called Isla Nublar. Cero is aware of how different the two islands were; for one thing Isla Nublar had more human stuff than here, and the majority of the dinosaurs were female. Unfortunately when they left the island to find a place to stay for winter, what appeared to be hundreds of metal flying pterosaurs flew at the island at two different directions and the last the Cearadactlylus can hear were the sounds of explosions and the scent of smoke and fire. Because of this, they all knew they can never return to their old home again.
Now they have to compete with another pterosaur group for territory. Ever since some humans managed to somehow open the gate of the aviary, the Pteranodons have become a nuisance to the non-native pterosaurs. Thankfully the enemy birds are situated on the east side of the island, and today they have left to migrate. This was a huge relief for the Cearadactlys so now they can hunt without too much of a problem at least until the Pteranodons return. Cero had just finished grooming himself, and is prepared to take a flight over the island. Spreading his huge wings to test the air, he then leaped off the cliff and began to flap to gain altitude. Soon he was soaring thru the sky. This was his element; this is what he was born to do, to become a master of the sky. Letting out a screech he began to head towards open plains. He saw various dinosaurs scattered around the plains, Brachiosaurs, Apatosaurs, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurs, Ouranosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and many others. Deciding to have a bit of fun, Cero flew low, just above the heads of the smaller dinosaurs. With the long necked ones he would fly over their heads, under their necks, and even under their tails. Passing by a Camarasaur's face he screeched, causing the giant to roar in surprise and stumble back. Cero then gained altitude as the angry sauropod roared in anger. After he caught a glimpse of some sort of massive predator, he began to return back to his clan. Night was beginning to fall and he was aware that he wouldn't be able to see in the dark. He began to fly west towards the setting sun, to where he will sleep safely until the next day.
I know it's been a while since I have last written my story. Vacations and problems have kept me from working on this. I'm very sorry but at least I got a new chapter up. Hope you're still reading this everyone.
