Author's Note: I made the plane bigger to fit all of them. And I changed a bit of the story.
Chapter .2.
Waterfall City
Zippo's House
They all finally get to Zippo's house Karl's leg was throbbing not that he would admit it. They all take seats.
"Karl give Twenty-Six to David so I can look at your leg", Marion orders
Karl does what he is told. And Marion puts his leg up on a chair and he can't help a hiss escape his mouth.
"Hold still. It needs to be cleaned", Marion says cleaning the wound out with water and herbs that were used to stop infection.
She then gets herbs out of her bag and puts it on the wound and bandages it back up.
"There is should be healed in two weeks. Be careful with it. You will have a new scar now", Marion says
"I will. A scar is not bad. Conceding what we have been through", Karl says relaxing
David hands Twenty-Six back to him. Because Twenty-Six wanted Karl.
"I have missed you", Karl says to Twenty-Six she squeaks
"We have missed you dad, Abby, Nigel, Lucy, Ally, Peter, Zaria, Saranna, Sammi, Rexanne and Jack", David says to his family
"We have missed you too", Zaria says hugging her big brother
"Can you all introduce yourself to Marion?" Karl asks
"I am Marion I have been looking after the boys", Marion says shaking their hands
"Do you have a family?" Frank asks
"Yes my father is the Lord Mayor of Waterfall city, my mother Rosemary runs the hatchery and my little sister Samantha works at the hatchery", Marion replies
"How old are you Marion?" Abigayle asks
"18", Marion replies, "What about all of you?"
"I am 17", Abigayle replies
"I am 16", Nigel says
"I am 16 Nigel's twin", Lucy says
"I am 12", Allison says
"I am 10", Peter says
"I am 8", Zaria replies
"I am 7", Saranna replies
"I am 7", Sammi says
"I am 6", Rexanne says
"I am 5", Jack says
"I am 40", Frank says, "This is all strange to us. Can we get back home?"
"We can't dad. It is impossible. We live here now", David says softly
"I already tired and failed. There is no way off this island", Karl adds
"I know it is hard but we will help you adjust", Marion adds
"Thank you. Your father said the laws of Dinotopia. What are they?" Frank asks
"The codes are written in the city square. I can tell you them. First one is One Raindrop Raises the Sea", Marion replies
"Survival of all or None", Zippo replies
"Weapons are enemies, even to their owners", David says
"Give More – Take Less", Karl says
"Others First – Self Last", Marion says
"Observe, Listen and Learn", Zippo says
"Do one thing at a time", David says
"Sing Every Day", Marion says
"Exercise Imagination", Karl says
"Eat to Live, Don't Live to eat. Is the second last code. We can't read the last one because the letters are missing. The first three letters are Fin", Marion replies
"We saw it when we were in the world beneath. It is Find The Light", David replies
"Father will be so happy that we finally have it. I will tell him as soon as possible", Marion says smiling at David
"Can we have something to eat?" Lucy asks
"Excuse me where are my manners. I will get you something straight away", Zippo says leaving the room quickly
"So what are those shiny stones used for?" Frank asks
"They are called Sun Stones they protect the villages and the cities from the carnivores", Marion explains
"That's why Karl insisted on getting a load full", Nigel says
"Yes they are very important", Karl replies, "Dinotopia has grown on me"
Zippo comes pack into the room with plates load of foods. Corn, Apples, Oranges, Grapes, Banana's, watermelon's cut up, peaches, berries and some other food.
"Here eat up you must be hungry", Zippo says
"Thank you", everyone says
"What else should we know?" Frank asks while getting
"If someone says to you 'Breath Free' you respond 'Seek Peace' if you are in the Skybacks core you reply with 'Fly High!" David replies telling them so they could talk to members of Waterfall City.
"What is a Skyback?" Allison asks
"That dinosaur you saw me ride. His name is Freefall. I am going into my second year of training. In two weeks. So I will spend that amount of time with you before I head to Canyon City", David replies
"How many years are you in it for?" Frank asks
"5 years", David replies
"How do you ride when you're scared of heights?" Allison asks
"I got over it with Marion's help", David replies smiling at Marion
"He is great. He didn't give up. That's what I like about him", Marion says smiling at David
Karl felt like saying get a room but he doesn't. He didn't want to be rude to Marion she was his friend.
"What will we learn in school?" Zaria asks
"You will learn the footprint language. It is how we write here", Marion replies, "You will all start in the beginner's class"
"Don't worry it is easy if you apply yourselves", David says eating a bit of watermelon
"You will sit an exam at the end of the year. To see if you pass and got to the next part of your training", Marion says
"After you finish school you will head to the hatchery. Where you will learn more from Marion's mother Rosemary who is Matriarch of Dinotopia. Then Rosemary will sign you a habit to study", David replies
"It's ever sky, earth, sea and land", Marion replies
"What are you?" Peter asks
"I of the Sky", David replies
"I am of the Earth", Karl replies
"I don't have a habit", Marion says
"Why?" Lucy asks
"I am a bit of everything. I am close to be the Matriarch of Dinotopia", Marion replies
"Why do you have a baby Dinosaur on your lap sleeping?" Zaria asks
"I wondered that too", Abby says
"I think we all have", Frank says
"She is my Saurian partner. It is explained like a marriage. But is spiritual", Karl replies
"Good why to put that Karl", Marion praises
"Oh and you are ok with this?" Frank asks shocked
"Yes. I have come to peace with it. It will be years before it happens anyway", Karl replies
"Why did you name her Twenty Six?" Allison asks
"That was the number on her egg. I was also frustrated. But the name suites her", Karl replies
"Where do you work Zippo?" Abby asks changing the subject
"In the Dinotopia library. We have thousands of scrolls and books. From thousands of years. They are all written in different languages", Zippo answers
"Do you speak those languages?" Nigel asks
"Yes I do. I speak many languages fluently", Zippo replies
"So you can teach us?" Nigel asks
"Yes if you want. It is hard work and you are at school", Zippo says, "Maybe when we have more time"
"Ok", Nigel says smiling
"You all better get some rest. David, Karl and I will show you around the city tomorrow", Marion says, "I will bring your clothes at 9"
"Thank you Marion", Frank says
"I better get going. I will see you all later", Marion says kissing David's cheek before leaving
"Is there something going on with you and Marion?" Frank asks his son
"We had a moment when I admitted my feels in Canyon City in a Skyback's nest. She said we will take it slow. She has been helping me a lot", David replies
"What about that other girl what's her name Romana Denison?" Karl teases his brother
"Who is she?" Lucy asks
"She is a rider too. And she is just my friend", David replies honesty, "I like them both but I like Marion more"
"Don't worry son they were just teasing. You can handle it yourself. You have been here longer", Frank says
"Thanks dad. Let's go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day", David says getting up, "Thank you Zippo for the food"
"Thank you also", the others says
"It was my pleasure goodnight", Zippo says showing them to their rooms the girls had to share and so did the boys.
David and Karl were fast asleep in minutes the others stayed awake thinking about how their lives now had forever changed…
