Blue's POV
I must of eaten some bad meat and died. Or I'm asleep right now and just having a strange dream.
The figure before me and my sister's was not what the stern queen of the island was suppose to be. What stood now at just a spec over my she level was something that must of been that of nightmares.
"I take it you are wondering why I am like this." Her voice was more mellow and calm. We all nodded once.
"I'll simply put it this way, the blanks that Alex gave us had something inside of it he couldn't find. Human traits."
So that's why we can all understand each other? Because part of his species is now flowing through is. I go to ask why she looked human but she best me to it.
"This body is just side effect. But we have found it to quite useful at times."
"We?" I ask.
At a loud whack of her tail the tree line and underbrush began to rattle with activity. Soon, several heads began popping all around her. Some walking out in their full glory while others… they were just like her. The body of a human with two arms and standing upright on two legs was one thing. But some still held their original traits. Three Horns still had their three horns and frills while fliers had large mass that ran from the sides of their mid section to the upper arms. Most likely their wings to still be able to fly.
The four of us, being the most fearce creatures on this spec of land, began to tense up quickly. This was something that not even Alpha could handle.
"As you can see," Rexy gestured with a free hand. "We have grown to be more diverse with this ability. We now don't worry about food or shelter and can easily help each other." a few groaned as their counterparts lightly scratched or patted them. "But this isn't why I called you over here for."
I asked, "What do you want us to do?" She paused for a moment before looking back to us.
"To watch over Alex. I'm not telling you to be his mate, but to help him through these hard times." Looking behind her we watched a small three horn slowly walk up to her. A sheet was draped over in a way so that her arms could be free but most of their body, which was now on two legs, with a very familiar color tint.
"Terra?" Echo looked at her in surprise. She was the last thing that even I would expect to be like that. She looked like the younger hatchling the white female (Claire) had been around and protected from the monster. Terra from the tip of her frill would be an easy comparison to that human
The threehorn takes a step to the right so that she was now hugging Rexy's side. She drapes an arm around Terra like a human mother did with their young. The sight caused all of us to be utter dumbfounded by the sight of two opposites; Predator and Prey so close to each and not be fighting to the death. Just glancing around I saw the others giving low croons in affection at the sight.
"For the time since the monster; Alex has healed and cared for us more so than what humans before did. Uniting us," she squeezes Terra closer, "in a way that all of us can live without the need for humans. He has put himself in a place that we sadly cannot fully help him. We do not wish to see our beloved caretaker be taken from us."
Many nodded and mumbled in agreement. "Because we all have our places, we ask for you to be with his. From what I have gathered from him, your kind is the fastest when it comes to learning. And with been around a human for most of your lives can help aid in the situation."
She had us there. Alpha was around us since the day we hatched to when we got bigger and moved to our gray home and when we went after the White Monster.
"And how," Delta stepped up, not going past where I stood. "Are we supposed to do that?"
"With these." A spitter came walking out of the group. In their grasp was four glass tubes with long shiny tails.
Needles. Very big Needles.
They continued walking over to Rexy till he stopped beside her right. Holding up his talon/hand she took the four cursed items at once.
"These are similar mixtures that were used to give us all speech and this ability to change forms. These ones however from what Alex discovered, these are much different."
"In what way?" It sounded all too strange to me. None of this made any sense. And anything that did was gone by now. She said it was like what made us all be able to talk and change, but from what Rex was saying was this was different from it. And she wanted us to use it.
"I unfortunately do not know. Trying to understand stand human knowledge is too much to take in. But, if you do except this, you will be greatly changed."
It was a strange offer. The queen herself was asking us to practically make the human pack. True it wouldn't be the first time. But that was with family. Alex is a complete stranger. True he had been taking care of us for 2 years it still takes time to see if one worthy enough to be part of the pack.
"Question." Echo piped up while holding a talon up. "How do we become like you?"
"From what I, Terra and the others have learned it comes to you like your instincts."
At that a loud groan filled the room. We looked at Echo who had her eyes shut with her head close to the ground trying to force herself to change. It only made her look like she was trying to make a nature call when it wasn't ready.
"Echo." She goes for a few moments before looking up to me. "Stop. You'll just hurt your in a way we can't help." she tried for a moment before just sighing in defeat.
Stepping for two more people, a spike back and flyer, along with Terra came up to the spitter taking one of the dreaded items. After that each one walked towards us with Terra heading to me, the spike back to Echo, the flyer to Delta and the spitter to Charlie.
"And one last thing." We looked back to Rexy who had a face so serious it could kill anything she was hunting.
"If you do figure out how to change. Do not show Alex this. He cannot know until the right time so stay as you are right now around him."
Taking heed of the warning the four beings sunk the tips of the cold metal into out hides. Hissing at the sudden sting they pushed down the top until all the liquid inside was gone. I knew it would be sometime before whatever this stuff is will start taking effect on us. But it was going to be quite a time for all of us.
More Anthro dinosaurs!
Sorry for the bad details on what each Dino looks like, I have been looking around trying to find good ideas as to what each one would look like.
For anybody curious (cus I know you are) if you search the image Anthro Blue Raptor and find a picture of Blue wearing a pink shirt and white shorts as she's pouncing, that's what she and the others will look like in this. It has just enough human yo make them have the traits while still holding a large base of their forms.
