Her sisters and brothers are also in the herd as well as her mate's siblings and their cousins. Sabina: We must go to the Nesting Grounds now. So their herd left the south lands where they stayed in the winter. The world they traveled through was lush and green. Dinosaurs of all kinds lived and reared their young this world was also a harsh world where life could be short and watchfulness is key to survival. The herd followed the bright circle north. They would reach their summer home soon.

CHAPTER. 2 THE NESTING GROUNDS

The herd of longnecks arrived in the Nesting Grounds finally. The Nesting Grounds was a mountain platue encircled by over bearing mountains. There were lush forests, great watering holes, winding rivers and huge water falls. This was not the Great Valley. The Herd had heard of the Legendary Great Valley but there was no reason to go there. They had their paradise and only had to migrate two times a year to get to either one. The herd laid its eggs. One nest was of particular attention. One of the eggs began to hatch a foot broke through, then another then a tail the shell fell off. The hatchling was upside down and rolled over onto his stomach. Pat: Here I am son. The little longneck looked up and saw a huge monster coming down to do well he did not know what it would do. The hatchling moved out of the way his name was Heavyfoot and though he did not know it at the time. He would one day be one of the few that remained of his herd and he would also have a grandson who would be famous and would live in the Great Valley. But that was all in the future. Right now the huge monster laughed and licked him. Then another monster this was his mother Kala she licked him too. He had several brothers and sisters. He had four grandparents, six great grandparents and eight great, great grandparents. He also had many aunts and uncles and cousins. His mother lifted him up onto her back. Kala: Now you be careful my son. He and his family then fell asleep.
