Reunited
It started when I had caught Gumby and Pokey exiting Vira's sleeping space
with a large amount of choccy, which I confiscated for "forensic
examination" (aka I was goanna eat it) however I decided that it might be
safer to "study it" a few hundred meters out of clan grounds. So I headed
out to the place where Vira takes her baths away from the clan cause hardly
anyone goes there anyway. So I got there and I settled down. As I had
guessed there was no one there. However I had only been sitting there
"studying" the choccy when I was interrupted. However it wasn't one of the
clan members, and it wasn't one of the quite so common species. It was
another Gallimimus. We sort of stared at each other for a bit but in the
end knowing that there was safety in numbers I invited him to sit for a
bit. He did. It turned out his name was Fastfoot, he had been living in the
basin all of his life. Which was as long as I had been alive. Now sixteen
summers. He was much like me in a few ways. Except he was feathered. They
were orange feathers with yellow streaks running trough them like a leafs
veins. So we stared to talk. Midget things at first but the conversation
grew and grew. I had learnt that he was residing around this area, a hermit
really. And he had learnt I was in the Clan of Celestials. Then we stared
talking about how we had entered this world. That's when the oddest and
perhaps luckiest thing happened.
He had stared he had describes what seemed to be almost the same thing as I
did. A therapods foot in a nest, a decapitated Gallimimus who sounded like
mom, with a ring and viewing another lucky survivor hatch, take the ring
and leave. At that point he had left. It seemed too much like a
coincidence. Could this Gallimimus be my brother? I had always thought that
I was born alone, a survivor but fate had corrected me. I hadn't. Although
their was no way we could have proved or disapproved each others storeys
they seemed too alike, even down to the smell of decaying flesh and danger
that we both had experienced. We were brothers...
