Land Before Time: The Journey to the Great Lake
Chapter 1: Great Valley Arrival
As the moon shines on the dark side of the world it brings light to some parts of the world when it full. But in one place a gathering sees the moon blue they stare at it with sight and amazement as this happens every so often for three whole nights swimmers from all parts of the world watch this amazing light at one place a place for swimmers only avoidance of any other kinds something for that special creature. The Wise and oldest talks to those of how they came to find this magical place…
Shows the moon as it turns blue to white and looks apron the Great Valley to the nest of one of the swimmers. Ducky and Spike looked at her mother with the others in their family listening to her as she told them this pointing the claw hand to the sky.
"That was found in a long time ago a place just for swimmers but that only stories though that place don't really excise only in your hearts and dreams this place does" Ducky's mum spoke softly to them "I was told this as a bed time story from my mother and so on and so on."
"Really? Mama" Ducky asked, "It was a nice story, yep yep yep" Spike also nods with happiness.
"Yes dear my mother did. But I'll speak to you tomorrow about it if you like but now it time to get some sleep children" Ducky's mum spoke laying down on her side with them coming up to her and laying beside her.
"Yes mama" Ducky muttered sleepy lying on top of Spike with both closing their eyes.
"Goodnight" she whispered to Ducky and the others
"Goodnight" Ducky whispers back closing her eyes going sound to sleep with Spike and the others.
The next day and the kids was playing by some large rocks, Littlefoot laughed running in and out of them, going left then right Cera close behind him but she round the corner of one and she lost track of him. She snorted seeing that he got away and she was still it.
"I hate these big rocks… it makes it a lot harder to get any of you" Cera said and they came out behind the rocks from all directions
"I thought that was the point of playing here? Because it makes I more fun?" Littlefoot said with a frown
"Me say it good but why you no like Cera?" Petrie asked Cera flying up to one of the rocks and landing on it looking at Cera
Ducky clapped her hands "It because she no get us easy like always, yep yep yep" Ducky spoke with Cera looking at her sharply then letting a puff of air out.
The rest of the gang looked at Ducky then Cera, Spike hums a bit with unsure look and tilts his head at her "Oh alright Ducky right, I can't get you lot so easy like last time but it was her idea to come here" Cera put the blame on Ducky
"Me?" Ducky points to herself "But I only say I found big rocks that maybe good play not it. I did not say we have to" Ducky said back rather bravely against Cera.
Littlefoot nods "That right, Ducky did say that but we just went along with the maybe so really it all of us saying we will do it not only Ducky. That means we all to blame" Littlefoot said with a cracked smile then they all started to laugh. Cera frowned at them then smiled she laughed as well all finding it funny then they heard noises of footsteps from just over the mood.
Ducky climbed on Spike's back and Petrie lands on Cera's head as they walked up the small mood to investigate. "Far Walkers" Littlefoot said as they saw the dinosaurs walking up to the water hole.
"Oh nothing big about that then, lets go play" Cera said turning around but Ducky jumped off Spike walking towards the far walkers. "Ducky?"
"Something hit me on the head" Ducky picked up the small stone "Who hit me with stone?"
"Don't look at me" Cera said
"Don't know" Littlefoot's only reply to the question
Petrie shrugged "Me do not know. Spike?" Petrie looked and he shook the head
Ducky went back up the mood to look and all the sudden she screamed with surprise what was in her face it was a beak of another young swimmer "Oh hi hi hi" Ducky spoke to the swimmer "I am Ducky what you name?"
"Hello. I am Turio I was playing with a smooth stone and it came out of my hands and land here" he said to Ducky
"This?" Ducky handed it to him
"Oh yes, thanks" Turio takes it with a smile
"Turio! What have I told you about wondering so far?" A voice bellowed out to him
"Sorry father! Coming!" Turio runs off back to the water hole
Littlefoot and the others come back up looking at Ducky then the swimmer running back to the water hole "Who the new swimmer?" Cera cocked an eye watching Turio head back to his dad.
"Turio he sound nice and kind. He papa told him to come back to him" Ducky said to Cera
"Sounds like this Turio got a father that worries for his safety a bit too much from the voice I heard" Littlefoot said to Ducky
"Maybe I can talk to mama and see if Turio can play with us" Ducky suggested
"Sounds like fun" Petrie said with wide-open wings
"Why not, it be cool meeting someone new" Cera said then hears her father called "time for my mid bright circle meal see you lot later" Cera runs off back to the nest.
Littlefoot hears his grandparents calling "Sorry guys I got to go as well see you guy a bit later on ok?"
"Yeah Littlefoot see you" Petrie waves his wing
"Bye" Littlefoot takes a sprit to his grandparents
Ducky looked at Petrie with Spike "let go see mama tell of new swimmers in Valley" Ducky suggested
"Me in!" Petrie nods and Spike gives a reply nod
Turio sat on the bank looking at the water kicking his feet in the water watching the farwalkers drinking and talking "Father I am bored" Turio complained "Why could I not try play with those other kids a little while ago?"
"Because son you're my only child and I don't want you to get harmed… I feel like anything bad happen to you I wouldn't forgive myself. I just don't know this place and don't know what damagers there are" his dad spoke to Turio speaking softly to let him understand why he was worried for Turio.
Ducky's mother with Ducky, Spike and Petrie came over to the farwalkers towards Turio and his father. Ducky's mum stopped for a moment seeing him then walk on towards them. "Hello welcome to the Great Valley" she spoke to him
Turio and his father looked "Are you talking to us?" his father asked
"Yes. My little Ducky told me about new comer swimmers and that she met your son, Turio I believe his name that Ducky told me" Ducky's mum spoke with a warm tone in her voice.
Ducky, Spike and Petrie stood beside her. Turio's dad looked at them then the mother "I see, well my name is Zila, we've travelled a long way but not as far from finished our journey" Zila spoke back looking back at Ducky then down at his son "I don't let my son out of sight because he all I have" Zila spoke looking at Ducky's mum.
"The Great Valley is perfectly safe. You can trust me on that Zila. Your son would be alright and he'll have son great fun with my Ducky and her little brother Spike that their friends, Petrie the little flyer, Cera the Threehorn and Littlefoot the longneck" Ducky's mum reinsured him
Turio looked up "Father it sound she mean what she mean" Turio said to Zila.
Zila smiled "In that case, I don't see why not but just come back here before night fall" Zila requested from Turio
Turio cheered going to Ducky, Spike and Petrie "Come on lets play" Ducky said and they went off to get Cera and Littlefoot.
Zila sees them go then looked back at Ducky's mum "Little brother? The Spiketail?"
"Yes, he had no family and Ducky was the one to find him as the kids first travelled to the Great Valley. So I took him in as my own, he has a very strong self even he eats a bit" Ducky's mum said with a smile and laughing a bit at the end comment.
"I gather that" Zila laughed "So care to show me around your home?" Zila asked
Ducky's mum was silent for a moment the clear her thoughts "Of course, I'll be glad to show you around my home…" She said then realised what she said "I mean show you around the Great Valley, how long will you be here for?" Ducky's mum spoke to him as they started to walk
"For a day or maybe two, but not any more then that. We have to finish the journey to the Great Lake" Zila said and Ducky's mum stopped in her tracks with a question on her face hearing that sound made her remember a story told the night before.
"Great Lake?"
