"Wound? Please, that's a scratch.", Phillippe chuckled as he wrapped himself around her. "I barely felt it and I'm sure that T-Rex was biting with all its might. Speaking of which...". He pulled out the two teeth that had been left.

Silvergrace gasped, "Oh, you got a trophy memory! Did you hit him?".

Phillippe nodded. "I certainly did more than that. I nearly broke him and could've killed him, but I didn't think you'd appreciate it considering you can be one yourself.", he admitted.

Silvergrace smiled gratefully, "Thank you for thinking of me, Phillippe. You're a natural already. You know how to control your new form, though I don't think you have a hand on dino language yet.".

"No, I'll probably have to rely on you to teach me that... but I'm more than willing to learn from you, my love.", Phillippe said as he brushed her hair.

Silvergrace hummed warmly, "I am glad to hear that, my big man. Speaking of, wanna go to my special place?". Phillippe nodded as he smiled, "Of course I do. I really would love to see this place. I can imagine it's probably beautiful as you are."

Silvergrace kissed him softly, "Let's go, and I'll teach you dino language on the way. We cannot shift inside the village, but once we're a bit far out, we can shift.".

"Above, Butterfly, Coconut.", Phillippe repeated after her. He seemed to be absorbing the information fairly well, but he guessed that it might have something to do with the Quantonium in him. After all, he and Esme were some of the smartest students in school which must have had something related to their special genes.

Silvergrace smiled approvingly, and kept going, "Direwolf, Earth, Flower.", knowing that Phillippe is sure to be a professional more or less at the end of the trip.

"Direwolf, Earth, Flower.", Phillippe continued as he tightened his stride closer to her; part of him was just so wanting to have fun with her again, he could tell she wanted to do the same, but they both had to wait.

Silvergrace nodded lightly, "Gorge, Hand, Island, Jungle.", now adding one more letter to the pattern repeat.

"Gorge, Hand, Island, Jungle.", Phillippe continued, just proving to Silvergrace how well he was learning and how fast he was with it.

Silvergrace nuzzled Phillipe warmly, growling softly, "Kind, Lily, Mountain, North.".

"Kind, Lily, Mountain, North.", Phillippe tried to return the favor with her there as they kept on moving. Silvergrace smiled, and licked Phillippe on the shoulder with the bite before resuming, "Onward, Plant, Quill, River, Sun.".

"Onward, Plant, Quill, River, Sun.", Phillippe sounded proud in his tone when he said those as he was proving without a doubt now that he could be just as good at communicating in his new animal form as her.

Silvergrace purred warmly, "Tree, Underground, Vine, Water, X, Yellow, Zero.".

"Tree, Underground, Vine, Water, X, Yellow, Zero.", Phillippe smirked. "My love.", he added as they finished. Silvergrace laughed in a bit of a growl, "There you are, Phillippe...Are you good in talking now?".

"Yeah, I think so. After all, I can understand you pretty clearly now, and I think I'm saying everything right myself.", Phillippe told her as they soon were only a few yards away from her spot.

Silvergrace nuzzled him lightly, "I am happy to hear that. Ready to see the special place?", smiling at him.

Phillippe nodded, "Ready.", and Silvergrace leaned down, brushing away a nest of vines, "Welcome to Crystal Cove.".

Phillippe was totally enamored with the cove which lived up to its name. It was almost something completely out of one of the films he watched as a child with how beautiful it was. And it was all for them for the time being.

Silvergrace smiled as she followed in, the vines moving back in position to hide the entrance, and watching Phillippe take in the scenery, behind him, she could make out the ridge underneath him, hiding his dino manhood, and moved forward to playfully tug his tail with her teeth.

"Hey, easy! I'm still getting used to that new limb.", Phillippe told her as he chuckled, the two of them moving into a better position.

Silvergrace purred, "Fair enough, but tugging the tail with the teeth indicates the want to mate.". Phillippe chuckled as he soon let her have her way there, "Okay then, but I certainly hope you're not planning on us mating in this way... I want to feel your soft skin against my fingers again.".

Silvergrace blinked lightly, "We have all the time for mating in either form...Aren't you at least curious to find out? Tug my tail if you want to learn how to mate, T-Rex style.".

Phillippe thought about it for a moment before he decided that he might as well try it. He did as she wanted by tugging on her tail.

Silvergrace smiled lightly as she looked back, circling around Phillippe, "Now stay there, Philly.", taking a position where she is by side of Phillippe, her tail raised high as she leaned down, her head facing Phillippe's backside, "Raise your tail while you turn your head over to my dino womanhood.".

Phillippe followed her advice but was still fairly confused on how they could pull this off since not once did it ever cross his mind of how dinosaurs like T-Rexs would mate. Not even when he watched some of those dinosaur movies. "Like this?", he asked her.

Silvergrace purred lowly, "That's perfect. Now, we gotta prepare ourselves. Copy me, okay?", before thrusting her snout under the ridge, sniffing and licking with her big tongue, simulating Phillippe's dino manhood to come out from its sheath, hearing Phillippe growl before she felt Phillippe's snout sniffing and licking her dino womanhood.

"Ooohhh...", Phillippe moaned as he felt her tongue on him while he was slowly eating her out. It tasted just as sweet as it did the previous night, they first made love and he was already starting to feel taken over by the lust.

Silvergrace widened her eyes in appreciation when she saw Phillippe's dino manhood, "Oh, it's thicker and longer than your normal form!", licking a tad faster as his dino manhood becomes hard while quivering in delight through her body at the simulation Phillippe's doing to her.

"Compared to Papa and Tristan, I clearly am not the biggest overall.", Phillippe blushed if he could as he paused for a moment to quickly catch his breath before going for another go of her nectar.

Silvergrace purred, "I like what you got, Phillippe.", before exhaling in delight as Phillippe went again, and she can see Phillippe's dino manhood throbbing. She called out, "Do you want to be inside me?".

Phillippe nodded. "Of course, but are you sure this is alright? I mean, last thing we'd want is to hurt our child, right?", he reminded.

Silvergrace smiled as she went backwards, "Our baby is far down in my belly in this form, and I had seen the current dinosaur couples in the tribe. They had laid their eggs a few days ago, and in the first month they went through, they were totally good in mating. As for us, we're shifting, and it isn't hurting the baby...After all, he or she has Quantonium like us.".

Phillippe nodded. "Alright then, I just wanted to be sure. Mama and Papa didn't really do much of the normal kind of mating when they were having Esme and myself.", he explained as he moved to get himself lined up.

Silvergrace went to lay low, standing on her legs, raising her tail, moving it to the side, and glanced back, "Well, your folks only knew that they were the only ones with Quantonium at the time. Now, fill me, with your chest over my back so you can give me nuzzles and gentle love bites up here with your snout and teeth.".

Phillippe did his best to wrap himself around his love as best as he could in that form before he slowly pushed his T-Rex cock right into her dripping slit. "Ohhh!", he cried out as he pushed in. The feeling was slightly different, but still very pleasurable.

Silvergrace growled out, "Oh, oh, that feels good! Gods, move closer! I want your love bites!". Phillippe moved a bit more forward as he kept pushing deeper inside of her before he placed his head onto her back. "Does that work?", he asked as he rubbed his head against hers.

Silvergrace purred softly as she nuzzled him back, giving him a gentle love bite on the jaw, "Yes. Now, go crazy, my love. Bite me, help me want it, make me roar.".

Phillippe smiled before he leaned over and started to give love bites on her body as he bit down hard enough, not to really hurt her, but to at least leave a mark that proved who they belonged to. "That a good start?", he asked as he started to thrust into her.

Silvergrace gave a little roar of delight at each love bite, and growled urgently, "Yes, go faster, please!".

"As you want, Gracey!", Phillippe shouted as he kept on going and gave her more passion right then and there as he really started to pound.

Silvergrace roared even more louder as she could feel her walls tightening up on Phillippe's dino manhood, her tail wrapping around Phillippe's tail, and crooned out, "I am getting there!", realizing that she's almost there.

"I can feel it too, love!", Phillippe cried out as he was on the verge of erupting himself with how tight she was around him in both ways. He took another hard bite into her as he felt he was seconds away from shooting.

Silvergrace gave out about the loudest roar as she gave out, her orgasm washing over her, the sound of her roar shaking the walls of Crystal Cove.

Phillippe joined in as he climaxed inside off her as well, letting off a powerful roar himself as the two of them collapsed on each other as their energy had been exhausted.

Meanwhile, deep inside Silvergrace, Phillippe's dino sperm made it down to the growing fetus, and the baby absorbed the sperm as it grew bigger and a bit faster, and of course, doubling its chances to shift into a T-Rex like its parents.

Before, the baby only had a slim chance of shifting since Silvergrace has it, and now with Phillippe in the picture, able to shift after the hunt and fight, the baby's chances of gaining the shifting gene doubled, and now when in the future, at 6 years old, the child in question will activate the gene, and of course, at 16, claim their mate and all that follows.

Phillippe and Silvergrace panted before he slowly started to shift back towards his giant human form and snuggled as much as he could up to her. "Wow... that felt so good...", he sighed as he took in a few more breaths.

Silvergrace turned around to face him, cuddling up to him as she shifted back to human as well, "No wonder why the wild Rexes enjoy this. And to think my parents did this as well...Are you glad that you did it now, Philly?", caressing his chest, glad to see that the love bites are still showing on her. They will eventually heal and disappear in time, but it's still amazing.

"It certainly was quite the unique experience; I will say that. Something that I would never truly dream.", Phillippe admitted as he gently ran his fingers along her skin.

Silvergrace smiled softly as she watched his fingers run down her skin, and eventually, her belly as she blinked in surprise, "Looks like our baby enjoyed the fun.", noting that her baby bump got quite a bit bigger now.

"I still find it hard to believe how fast babies grow with Quantonium, it's quite an astounding miracle.", Phillippe said as he rubbed her belly in awe.

Silvergrace smiled warmly, "Well, down here, the pregnancy for everybody, counting your father, lasts 3-4 months. I have no doubt it's the same for me...I couldn't mind having a son with your magnificent eyes...".

Phillippe smiled as he kissed her on the cheek, "I don't care how our child would look, all I care is that we have our child and can raise it with the love it'll deserve.".

Silvergrace beamed warmly as she kissed him on the lips, "Yes, we'll love our baby...", sighing contently before a thought came to her, "So, any thought on your warrior name? You have two choices, and my father has the final decision to choose one of them. I was Silverpaw all my 15 years until I turned 16, and I had the choice of Silverleaf or Silvergrace. I always loved seeing the colors of the leaves at night, and as for the 'grace' part, I had immeasurable balance when it came to stalking practice with my mother.".

Phillippe chuckled when she asked him the question. "I really haven't spent any time thinking about it, you know? I was just more focused on trying to get the three horn and then survive that T-Rex. After that, mostly just thinking about us.", he told her as he brushed her hair once more.

Silvergrace smiled softly at him, "That's fair...You know, when I was curious to hear about you from your mother's stories, I was surprised when I heard the meaning of your name. 'Lover of horses'...You have plenty of love, but horses? From the sand pictures your mother showed me, we don't have horses down here. We have plenty of sabertooths and mammoths, and of course, all kinds of dinosaurs.".

"Yeah, I didn't think horses would be much of a thing down here.", Phillippe admitted. "And it is kinda weird about that name in some ways, since I've never actually ridden a horse before. Too small even when at some of my smaller heights.", he rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, Mama didn't tell you any really embarrassing stories, did she?".

Silvergrace shook her head, "Not as much of embarrassing, but I enjoyed the story of how you actually protected Esme in that debate contest, something about environmental rights?".

"Oh, yeah, that time. Well, she's my little sister after all, I have to protect her when I can... though she'll often claim and will be right about being able to take care of herself.", Phillippe explained.

Silvergrace chuckled, "I can believe that...Father didn't say anything about asking for help, and since I am already your mate, I can help you out with one of your choices...I rather like the sound of Lionheart...In the ancient lore of my people's stories, there were talk of great cats similar to the sabertooths, and when Robert heard one of the stories, he said that the great cats sound like lions in description, and how he spoke about the strength of lions...It suits you, doesn't it?".

"Lionheart also has some history where I come from. A few great kings of history had that as a nickname. And it mostly came from the places near France where my name came from, so that makes a lot of sense.", Phillippe smiled. "I honestly like the sound of that.".

Silvergrace smiled warmly, "I am glad to hear that you approve. Just take your time to think about the second choice. We still have some time before sundown...", rubbing her belly softly, "Are you okay with our baby possibly getting a tribe name, with the 'paw' suffix? I mean, if you want a surface name for him or her, I am alright with it.".

"Well, I think we could use a surface name for him at least for his middle name for the time being.", Phillippe told her. "But I'd rather wait until we're closer to that day. I'd rather not call our child a boy's name for months only to have a girl.", he laughed as he kissed her lips.

Silvergrace giggled softly after she kissed him back, "I can agree with that.", before smiling softly at him, "Are you excited to have little siblings? I mean, being a big brother, that's a huge honor.".

"It certainly is a surprise after all these years. I honestly thought that perhaps Mama and Papa were only going to have Esme and myself. Then again, perhaps it was just the whole waiting for us to grow up before the thought to have more crossed their mind. And knowing the Quantonium, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.", Phillippe said.

Silvergrace smiled softly, "We're going to have playdates, that's for sure. Those days will be quite noisy, but I will cherish every single moment of it.".

"I wonder if our child will be born before Papa's.", Phillippe shook his head. "Be crazy if our child's aunt or uncle was younger than them.".

Silvergrace gave out a laugh, "That'd be something to see.", before nuzzling into his shoulder, "This is nice. I don't wanna let go. Can we stay like this until we're ready to head back a while before sundown?".

"I'd rather stay here almost all night if we could.", Phillippe said as he gently caressed her body, "I know we can't though, we'd be missed for the feast.". He proceeded to give her another kiss on the cheek.

Silvergrace hummed softly, "We have more days and nights to ourselves...I have a feeling that Mother had ordered for a house to be built for us. A city cannot be built in a day, but a house can be built in one. I couldn't mind living in the house as my parents, but she suspects that you'd want some sort of privacy for us pardoning the fact that you were raised on the surface, but you have to know that this world is love-free all the time.".

"So, I've been able to tell.", Phillippe said as he continued looking ahead. "Esme and I certainly were looking somewhat forward to moving out from our parents' home; more in her case with Tristan and all.", he chuckled.

Silvergrace nodded in understanding, "Your father, Robert, spoke about a place called college. He said that people go there to live away from their parents, learn more about life, and basically be adults...".

"That's certainly one way of describing it. It's mostly for education and all; to try and have better or at least different opportunities in life. Tristan and Esme were more thought out about what they wanted to do after we finished our schooling. I was more... ah, lost in terms of my future.", Phillippe explained.

Silvergrace looked at him as she softly caressed his shoulder tattoo, "And now?".

"Well, I think now, my life has a bit more of a vision now than it was before. My life belongs with you and more than likely is more fitting down here than it was on the surface.", Phillippe told her as he gave her another soft kiss on the lips as the two just melted back into making out.

And so, for the next few hours, Silvergrace and Phillippe enjoyed their time in making out, cuddling, napping, and snacking on berries, and once Silvergrace noticed that the sun is finally lowering to the horizon, she and Phillippe set out to head home.

Silvergrace glanced at Phillippe while they were halfway home, "Lionheart is your first choice. Have you thought anything for the second choice? Remember, Father has to make the final pick.".

Phillippe shook his head, "I can't say I've thought anything other than Lionheart. Of course, I'm sure your father would come up with a decent choice. Perhaps we could either make, if our child is a boy, Lionheart or whatever your Father has in mind for me, if I can keep Lionheart.", He suggested as they walked over a small ridge.

Silvergrace smiled lightly, "I'll be happy for you if Father picks Lionheart. There is a bit of respite between the villagers' announcements and your ceremony, so you can whisper your choice to Father, and Father will ask you if you want or not want his choice. Father will think quick about it, and during the ceremony, there's tradition you must keep to.",

"There are two important questions Father will ask to you in front of all the tribe. 'What are you, if not a warrior or a man?' You must answer him honestly in your own way, and I mean, one answer that makes who you are. When Father asked me that of a female version, I told him that I am a seeker of hope.",

"And then there's the second question, 'Do you swear to uphold your family, your home, your pride and love in your warrior name as long as it takes?' Of course, the answer is always the same, 'Yes', in ways like saying 'I swear', 'On my warrior name, yes.' etc. You understand, Phillippe?".

"Yeah, I think so.", Phillippe nodded his head as he tried to think of his answers, "I should at least talk to you about them first before I ask him and all, just so I can easily tell them to him with confidence rather than not thinking or nervousness."

He took a deep breath to think, "Hmm, a protector of my family, what do you think? That sound right to you? It makes a bit of sense in my head with me protecting Esme a few times.".

Silvergrace hummed lightly, "I'd say you have to make your answer a bit deeper. Protector of family is good, but that is not quite deep enough to describe you. Hmm, yes, I have it now. You are a believer of life, meaning that you're strong, protective, caring of all you care for, including family, friends, etc.".

Phillippe smiled as he heard that, "Oh, now that sounds much better. You're right, that does sound like me. It was the same as what I said.", He chuckled, "I just didn't put it as beautiful a way as you said it.".

Silvergrace smiled a tad bashfully, "Mother often said that I have a way with words.".

"You certainly prove it every moment I know you more.", Phillippe smiled as he wrapped an arm around her. "Of course, that second question you mentioned is the easy one for sure. Just have to sound more... enthusiastic than simply saying yes.".

Silvergrace nodded softly, "You really have to mean it, that's for sure. When Father asked me, I said, 'I solemnly do swear it.', but no copying me, you have to do it in your most sincere way.".

"I can think of a good thing to say there.". The two of them soon reached the outskirts of the tribe as they made a few more steps. "Seems everything is almost ready.", Phillippe noticed.

Silvergrace can see the houses decorated with evergreens, and the people heading to the communal clearing with the bonfire, stacked up with logs and trees, and smiled lightly, "The evergreens are from the lush trees, they are a symbol of community and love. I suspect the ones that are beyond 16 years of age, they will be busy tonight for a feast night like this, it's said to provide a chance of getting pregnant, and perhaps, my parents will take this night as well.".

Silvergrace kissed Phillippe on the cheek, "Once Father announces your warrior name after the questions, he will give you the first flame for you are to light up the bonfire, starting the feast.".

"Okay, I can handle that.", Phillippe said as they walked further into the village. "I mean, I took on a T-Rex, this should be nothing... so why am I still feeling so nervous?...", he admitted to her as he quickly pulled her away behind one of the hut homes.

Silvergrace caressed his cheek, "Love, it's okay to be nervous on such an important occasion, but you have all of your family behind you, including me and our baby.", gently grabbing his hand to rest on her baby bump, "There's bound to be kicking within the next two weeks or so, but right now, feel the warmth. Our baby is safe because he or she knows both of us. So, believe that she or he is happy for you.".

"You're right.", Phillippe kissed her once more. "At least it wasn't like Esme and me for a period. We were in some serious danger for a night when we were still in the womb.". He recalled that Gallaxhar attack story their parents mentioned.

Silvergrace nodded, "I was most horrified when I heard it from your mother, Susan. She was much like a lioness, protecting you two. But let's forget about that. You are unique on your own, you can do this, Phillippe. We cannot be late for the community announcements as that's the first part to do before your ceremony. After all, I am most curious to hear the name for Fogdawn and Sunleap's new daughter. Fogdawn has become good friends with your parents.".

"Probably due to the fact that he was pregnant himself and Papa's going to be experiencing that himself.", Phillippe suggested as they soon went back on their way to the main hall for the ceremony. "Just a bit nervous you know, since I'm partially going to be at the center of attention. Never truly liked that growing up.".

Silvergrace squeezed his hand warmly in support, "There will be a few times to feel like that since you're mated to me, a chiefess in training, but my people, our people will treat you like normal, just being addressed respectfully for reports occasionally...It won't be for a long time, but you realize that you'd be chief once my parents retire?".

Phillippe's eyes widened upon hearing that, "Really? I didn't think that would be a thing for me, especially considering I'm a bit more of an outsider than pretty much anyone else before.". He rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to wrap his head around the idea.

Silvergrace sighed, "You're not an outsider, not to me, nor my parents. The ceremony will just make it official; you know? And the chief ceremony is fancier, as to speak, but you have plenty of time to wait. After all, my parents are in their prime for some time still.", before noticing that they had a few more steps to enter into the clearing.

"I suppose you're right. Plenty of time to figure out how to be a true chief and all.", He smiled as he recomposed himself. "Sorry, just everything feels like it's moving a bit fast and all so my mind is not catching up so fast.", he chuckled.

Silvergrace kissed him on the cheek, "You're good, Phillippe, you're...what did Robert say? Rolling with the flow?".

"Yeah, he's said that about me on plenty of occasions.", Phillippe laughed before the two of them heard some nearby sounds. It sounded like some familiar moans.

Silvergrace and Phillippe looked around the corner, and Silvergrace chuckled lowly as she saw her parents at it. Thunderwolf was pinning Stormfire against a lattice flower wall just outside the clearing, pumping into her while Stormfire was moaning out loud.

Silvergrace smirked at Phillippe, whispering lowly, "What did I tell you?", not even remotely embarrassed as she saw love-making every day from any person in the tribe, thanks to the village being all love-free.

"I know what you mean.", Phillippe chuckled. "Guess I was just half expecting to see Esme or Tristan doing it or something.", he admitted. "Or my parents, I've seen them almost do it before.".

Silvergrace smiled lightly as her parents were totally absorbed into it, not noticing them as Stormfire begged Thunderwolf to go faster, and Silvergrace grinned lightly, "They're almost done. The scent of pregnancy doesn't show up til a half day later or so...I hope I get a little sibling. I'd love to have a baby brother.".

"I thought usually that only happens during the mating ceremonies and all. They'll probably just be like my parents for years, able to do it all the time yet not once get pregnant.", Phillippe reminded.

Silvergrace chuckled lightly, "Oh, within the year of the mating ceremony afterwards, when people are really passionate, they can get pregnant, and on feast nights within warrior ceremonies before and after, it's the same thing. But otherwise, between that, nobody gets pregnant. It's almost like a switch of sorts. Mating ceremonies happen every couple of centuries while feast nights/warrior ceremonies happen every couple of years or months, depending on the birthday of the warrior. This year, excluding yours, we have 10 teenagers turning 16. Last year were 6 teenagers, and the year before, it was 8 teenagers including yours truly.".

"And yet somehow you all have such crazy long lifespans too, I think. I mean, I don't know, Mama and Papa still look as youthful as they day they first grew.", Phillippe said. "Doc, by the way, did my parents tell you about Doc, Link, B.O.B. and the others?", He quickly asked before he shook his hand. "Anyway, Doc thinks that the Quantonium affected their lifespans and might be able to live quite a number of centuries.".

Silvergrace nodded, "That makes sense. Our people live for a thousand years, more or less. And your uncles, from your parents' stories, they sound like delightful people, and we would accept them just fine.", hearing Stormfire scream for Thunderwolf, and she glanced to see her parents in the process of their orgasms, knowing that her father is seedling her mother's womb.

She smiled lightly, "I've always wondered about making love like them, and now, seeing them, it's actually nice to know that we're no different.", looking slightly up at Phillippe.
