The bright circle rose up high into the sky. Littlefoot had made Abe follow him. He grunted, knowing that finding Lucastrof was more important than following Littlefoot, but he followed the longneck. He was at a lost in this world without a satellite. Littlefoot led him to the waterhole that his friends relaxed in. They noticed the strange creature next to Littlefoot and cautiously walked up to Littlefoot.
"What is this strange two-footer?' asked Cera, not concerned about Abe's feeling. "What kind of weird thing are you?"
"Mind your matters threehorn if you know what's best for you," Abe replied irritated.
"It talks," stated Petrie, a brown Pteranodon the size of the biggest Chihuahua.
"Yeah, it talks. Tell that creature who he's messing with if he doesn't want to get bashed."
The yellow triceratops with green eyes and about four feet tall looked at Abe scornfully.
"Knock it off, Cera," warned Littlefoot.
A green stegosaurus with its spikes not fully grown and violet eyes walked up to Abe and sniffed him. He smiled.
"It seems my brother likes you," said a green Parasaurolophus with blue eyes that was a little bit taller than the Pteranodon.
"I'm sorry about Cera's attitude."
"It's alright. Back home, I have a few friends that are like her. By the way, I have a name. Name's Abe."
"I'm Ducky," said the Parasaurolophus. "This is Petrie, Spike, and Cera."
"Me no see your kind before," said Petrie.
"That's because I'm not from here."
He didn't want to explain his whole story again; especially to dinosaurs that he knew wouldn't understand.
"I come from a faraway land."
Littlefoot looked at him. Sensing his eyes, Abe faced Littlefoot and nodded.
"That's right," Littlefoot played along. "He comes from the Mysterious Beyond."
They stood amazed by how something that seemed defenseless could survive in there.
"So small yet you live," said Petrie.
"You just get used to it. Dangers lurk around every corner out there."
"We know," said Cera. "He drags us around in there."
Abe looked back at Littlefoot. He eyed Cera.
"No I don't. You guys just volunteer sometimes."
"Yeah, that sometimes. How about the rest of the times, like when you wanted to help Mo out?"
"But the earthshake broke the land."
"How about if it didn't? Besides, you were urging us to go before that happened."
"How about the time you wanted to look for the Stone of Cold Fire?"
"Well…"
"Or the time you wanted to help those yellow bellies?"
"Yeah, but-"
"Need I remind you about the time you wanted to find jumping water?"
"That was amazing," said Ducky.
"Yeah, until a sharptooth chased us and almost had us for dinner. If we never found that cave, we would have been done for."
"Stop it," said Littlefoot firmly.
Cera looked at him and huffed in satisfaction. She then looked at Abe.
"Why are you here all by yourself?"
"If you shut up, I can explain."
She grunted by the way he barked at her. She ran towards him with her head lowered. As she neared him, Abe jumped up high into the air and landed in the shallow water. The others were impressed by his jumping, even Cera. Littlefoot approached him.
"Was that the magic you were talking about?"
"Not quite. It's just part of my abilities that came when Rainbow transformed me into this half-demon."
The others walked up to Littlefoot.
"What are you?" asked the bewildered Cera.
"I am part dog and part human to be exact. I have the abilities of this type of creature called a dog. Knowing this, I trained myself to almost defy the laws of gravity."
"Gravity?" wondered Littlefoot.
"Um, the invisible thing that pushes you down when you're in the air."
"It don't push me down," said Petrie.
He flew up into the air and did a somersault. He remained in the air.
"It's because of your wings Petrie," said Littlefoot. "We don't have any, so he's speaking in that sense."
"Oh," said Petrie, landing on Littlefoot's head. "Me knew that."
"Well, Littlefoot, I need to get going. Thanks for introducing me to your friends."
Abe walked off.
"Wait. You don't have to leave."
"I must. I need to get the items of the Pentagon of Life from Lucastrof before he dooms us all."
"But wouldn't he have doomed us if he already got them?"
Abe stopped. That thought never once crossed his mind. He turned around and walked towards Littlefoot.
"I never thought of that. That means he lost all the items when he came back into this time. Probably by some hoax, they separated from him and each other."
The other dinosaurs were too confused to ask what Littlefoot and Abe were talking about.
"Probably when this Lucastrof guy entered our world, some sort of magic teleported each one of the items away to a spot describing what they mean."
This longneck has a very open mind and seems intelligent, thought Abe. If I'm ever going to survive here, I might need his help.
"That could be so. Even so, the world is vast. It'll take me forever to find all of them."
"We can help."
"You can?"
"We can?" inquired his friends.
Littlefoot looked at them and lowered his neck.
"We need to help him. If Lucastrof finds all the items, not only will he die, but all of us will die. It will be the end of we know it."
After Littlefoot was done talking, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike agreed. As usual, Cera was the last one to answer. The group looked at her, telling her through their eyes she should hurry up.
"Fine," she agreed.
Littlefoot turned back at Abe.
"We'll help you. We know our place around for the most part. We will help you search for what you call the Pentagon of Life."
Abe smiled and waved his hand.
"Thanks."
He put his hands on his hips to think.
"Let's see, we don't have any leads or any clues. Wait. I remember there was a map."
"What's a map?" asked Ducky.
"It's a leaf that tells you where to go in a drawing."
"You know where it is?" Littlefoot asked, hoping he did.
"Nope, but it reminds me of a riddle. For a friendly guide to help you seek, ask a friend where to go. He will know the way for he has been there before. Through the canyon lays a strange stone that was once there is now there no more."
"What does that mean?" asked Cera.
"I have no idea," Abe said with disappointment.
"Through the canyon lays a strange stone that was once there is now there no more," repeated Littlefoot. "Wait. I think it means Threehorn Peak."
Littlefoot looked at a tall mountain that at the top looked like a triceratops' head.
"It means the Stone of Cold Fire," he continued. "It was blown to pieces when the mountain blew out fire water."
Abe looked at Littlefoot.
"Well, it's better than any lead I have. Littlefoot, can you lead me there?"
"You bet. Follow me."
Littlefoot walked towards the trail that led to Threehorn Peak. Abe followed him. Littlefoot's friends looked at each other with worry in their eyes but nonetheless caught up with us.
