dot dot dot. AN UPDATE FINALLY! and am I the only one who think teachers need to be paid more? Their job is to teach the next generation after all. And why I don't update:

I JUST ranted about this guys. I have a life, I'm writing a book, not to mention the fact that I was a freshmen in high school and the teachers enjoyed giving us huge projects that are worth over 30 percent of our grade that were due IN ONE FREAKING WEEK from the day they are assigned. Okay?

Plus I had finals.

And of course my characters take over when I right and they're freaking stubborn little brats!

This is a filler chapter unfortunately, however it does have some thing relevant to the plot so I guess it's a semi-filler?

Grassland Wars

"Chomp! Wait up!" Thrae called. The others caught up with her. Chomp looked past the forest, towards the grassland.

"Come on! I want to see what's out there!" He said. The others walked over and stood next to him.

"What do you think is out there?" River asked.

"Big scary vivos?" Bash guessed. The others shivered at the thought of evil vivosaurs. Chomp still had the scars on his back from the Aeros.

"M-maybe." Cloud said, backing up. The grass in front of them rustled, and the baby vivosaurs let out squeaks of fear and surprise. It turned out only to be a small lizard.

"Ha! You were scared of a little lizard!" Chomp laughed. The others glared at him.

"You were scared too!" Cloud retorted.

"L-Let's just go back." Bash stammered. "The grown ups aren't gonna be happy about us running off like this."

"No way!" Chomp replied. "This is way too awesome!" He jumped down from the rock and sped off.

"Hey!" Bash called. "No fair! We're not as fast as you!" The others tried to match his pace. Chomp slowed down somewhat to let the others catch up.

"Hey, look!" Cloud said. "A river! I wonder if there's fish in there." The kids scampered over, and sure enough, there were some sort of ancient fish swimming in the waters.

Unknown to the kids, the area they were in was a war ground for vivosaurs.

Food and water weren't exactly infinite like the forested areas. It was dry and there were often fires which would often force vivosaurs into each others territory. Tension was highest near the border, for forest vivosaurs thought the wide open spaces would be better than a forest, when it was really quite the opposite. The most common species were that of the ancient mammals such as the saber toothed cats, mammoths, terror birds, and others. Though there were some water dwellers as well such as Onyx and Spinos. Two of these fish eating vivosaurs were bitter rivals over the river near the forest border, and were constantly fighting over who deserved to be the top fisher of the area.

"So you actually showed up." The spino taunted. The onyx let out a low growl and bared his teeth.

"You're one to talk you coward." The onyx snapped. The spino's mouth twitched into a snarl.

"Enough you two." A V-Raptor hissed, walking over to them.

"And who the hell are you!?" The spino hissed.

"Don't worry. I'm a friend." The V-raptor smiled. "I have a little...proposition for you if you would care to listen." The pendant around her neck flashed for a moment.

"Proposition?" The two vivosaurs asked, forgetting their long going quarrel. Their eyes settled on the pendant.

"This little pendant can warp dreams and reality." The v-raptor explained. "I only have one, but perhaps you two will take it and keep it safe for me? It will allow you to leave this world, or seal others within it."

"What? Dreams?" the onyx asked. "We've been in this world since we hatched. We don't want to leave it."

"This world of dreams is far from what you think." The v-raptor went on. "This is a dream to me and many others, but reality to you. The human world is a mere dream to you, but reality to them. I merged the two to create this inter dimensional world. I made it look like yours so you natural vivosaurs would not freak out and go on a rampage."

"This is a lot to take in, you know." The spino growled. "How did you do that?"

"With the Somnus Pendant of course." The v-raptor grinned, swinging the pendant. It was a ruby that was shaped like a Z in the middle of a cloud shaped emerald.

"Somnus Pendant?" The onyx stared at the pendant. "How is that of any good?" He tilted his head. The V-raptor faceclawed.

"I just told you that it can warp dreams into reality you thick headed imbecile!" She snapped. The two vivosaurs stared at each other and then back at her.

"What do you want us to do with that thing?" The spino asked, pointing at the Somnus Pendent.

"Easy." The v-raptor smirked. "All I want you to do is seal a mapo, teffla, stego, saichan, two dinarians, and finally a little M-raptor in here."

"We'll find them for you!" The onyx said as the V-raptor handed him the pendant.

"Good. And when you do find them, make them look into the pendant and say these exact words; 'To those who gaze into it's power, shall be trapped within this dream forever.'"

"That should be easy to remember!" The spino exclaimed.

"Yes." The v-raptor gazed at him in slight disgust. Even in revival these fools are more stupid than hyenas. "Now don't screw this up."

"What shall we call you?" Onyx asked.

"Calti." The The v-raptor replied. "Call me Calti."

This is too freaking short. Again, sorry. Major MAJOR writers block for this story. I couldn't figure out what to do for this chapter. Bleh.

why do you guys love this so much? It's old and the beginning is so crappy...
