As via request, I decided to put Dinotopia's Dragon up. ;D
Part 1
~~~ Somewhere In The Basin ~~~
Its been 50 years now sense the attack on the caravan. A day to be remembered for a long time. So it may appear so, Not much to be changed in the basin. The caravans still run through the area with extra caution. Not far from the attack site they can see what was supposed to be the remnants of a forgotten small village, which they named "The Dragon Village" because a dragon used to live there. It was a few years after the attack that the dragon, known as Barry, was forced to leave the Island because some of the Basin residents were afraid of him. So the dragon had no choice but to leave the Island or be hunted down. This dragon was well loved by lot of Dinotopians from all over the Island, and they hated to see him go. So the dragon, though he would try living on The Outer Island, to found it to be okay for awhile. Some of the residents of the Basin thought that it was still to close, so the dragon was forced to move off The Outer Island.
So the dragon didn't have anywhere to go at the time. So he flew to the smaller islands of Sapphire Bay unnoticed, stayed there for a day or two, then flying to an island not on the map north of Crackshell Point. This was the tiny island mentioned in the book The Hand of Dinotopia that looked like a footprint He thought the Basin residents won't bother him since the island was to far from the main Island of Dinotopia, and it took days to get there by boat. So he made his lair there on this tiny island.
Back on the main Island of Dinotopia, a few friends of this dragon were getting worried about their friend, and they lost all track of him and didn't know where to look for him. So two of his friends set out to find their dragon friend on a journey to his last Known place of residents, The Outer Island. The first friend was a Utahraptor named Oggie. And a Gallimimus named HardKick. From Waterfall City they made their way to Canyon City, then to Porsperine. They stayed the night in Porsperine before renting a boat for The Outer Island…
~~~ Porsperine ~~~
The next day Oggie and HardKick had some breakfast. And after they ate they went into town to get supplies for the trip to The Outer Island. When they got what they needed for the trip, they headed for the boat. On the boat, they were shown to their quarters. Then the boat set sail to cross Warmwater Bay to The Outer Island…

Part 2
~~~ Crossing Warmwater Bay ~~~
A few minutes after they had departed from Porsperine, this big storm came up. So Oggie and Hardkick had to go below deck. The rocking of the boat made Hardkick sick in his stomach and there wasn't anyplace to go and puke. So Oggie went to the boats galley to ask for something for Hardkick to puke in. The person in charge of the galley gave Oggie a bag and Oggie went back to Hardkick. A few hours later have past and the storm subsided. Hardkick couldn't wait to get on deck. So Hardkick and Oggie when up. The sun was beginning to set below the horizon. So they stayed up on deck to watch a beautiful sunset, and behind them where the storm was, there was a beautiful rainbow.
Later that night Oggie and Hardkick were still on deck just watching the sky that was full of stars. The moon hasn't even risen yet. All they could see out over the water was darkness. But it was a very quiet darkness. They were not used to this since they were used to the nighttime sounds of the basin. They stayed up there for an hour before they went below to nest for the night…
~~~ The Dragon's Lair ~~~
Things were not going very well for the dragon on his little island. for one thing, there wasn't very much prey to hunt, and the dragon wasn't that crazy about the selection of fish too. He'd loved the fish in the Polongo River better than the salty fish of the sea. So that is all he had for the time being. If the dragon wanted fresh water fish he would have to wait till it got really late at night. That way he could fly back to the main Island without anyone realizing he was ever there. The dragon was very good at stealth approach. So he could do a little fishing in the Polongo River, get enough to satisfy his hunger for three days before he had to go again. And what made it even better was there was a new moon that night too. So the dragon got his fishing done and, he had his dinner. Then it was time to go deep in the cave for the night…
~~~ Halfway Across The Bay ~~~
All was quiet and peaceful for Oggie and Hardkick out on the bay. But it was too quiet and Hardkick couldn't sleep. “What's the matter?" Oggie said with a worried look on his snout. Hardkick staring back at his raptor friend, I'm not used to this being so quiet, and, I miss the Basin and all its night sounds. All I hear is the sound of waves and I don't like all that water around me at night." "Don't worry Hardkick your not going to go overboard. I'll tell you what, lets go down to the galley for a nighttime snack. That will help you sleep, I'm sure of it." So Oggie and HardKick went down to the galley for a nighttime snack. And all was better with Hardkick. After that they went back to bed…

Part 3
~~~ On The Main Island ~~~
A vast red sunrise was spreading across the vastness of Dinotopia, with no signs of bad weather. It was a great day to be alive. Waterfall City was just wakening up for a long busy day. At a local Café, there was talk of some plans for a parade that was supposed to be going on that day. And all of Waterfall City was getting prepared for it. It was going to be great. At the Great Library there was this utahraptor studying up on this very special occasion. This was his very first time to Waterfall City. This utahraptor, known as Daniel Utahraptor, was eager to make a first impression to this wonderful city and its history. After spending some time in the Great Library and going over all this info, he decided to take a walk out and about the city, when he came up on the café that was preparing for this day. So he decided to go in to have some breakfast. After ordering his meal, he overheard some folks talking about two dinosaurs going to The Outer Island to look for their Dragon friend. He stood there for awhile listening to them, When they got finished talking, Daniel Utahraptor went over to their table and asked them, "What dragon? I didn't know there was a dragon on Dinotopia." The two dinosaurs at the table explained to him the story about this Dragon and his life on this fair Island was. And how he got exiled from Dinotopia. Then Daniel Utahraptor said, "A real Dragon, on Dinotopia. Where is this Dragon now?" Then one of the dinosaurs told him the Dragons last ware bouts were on The Outer Island, and He got exiled form there too. And nobody didn't know where this Dragon went, and, an Utahraptor and, a Gallimimus went looking for him. Then he left the café thinking to himself, I'd thought I'll go look for this Dragon too, To see if this is all true.
~~~ Back On The Boat ~~~
Oggie and Hardkick got up and had some breakfast, then they went on deck. They could see not to far in the distance, The Outer Island. One of the crew of the boat said that they will be arriving very shortly in Culebra, and if its there first time there? Oggie and Hardkick said that it was indeed there first time ever off Dinotopia. So the crewmen told then to see the captain for info on this place. After that, they waited for the boat to dock at Culebra…

Part 4
~~~ Back At The Dragon's Lair ~~~
he Next morning, the Dragon went on his daily rounds on his tiny island. Which he renamed Dragon's Is. He saw the sunrise, and he just stood there in awe staring at it. At the same time he was thinking about his friends he left behind on the main island of Dinotopia. His thoughts were of Oggie and Hardkick, and he had other thoughts about getting back at the ones whom exiled him from Dinotopia with his fiery breath. But he knew he wouldn't do that because it wasn't the Dinotopian way, but it was the Dragon way, the only way he knew how to handle the problem at hand. Then the Dragon turned his gaze toward the direction of Dinotopia. He was wondering if he should pay them at The Round Table Hall a visit to talk about those who exiled him from Dinotopia or, to stay right where he was. Then another thought came across his mind. They may show up, and try to kill the Dragon once and for all and solve there little private dragon problem themselves. So the Dragon spent some time on his little beach just thinking and wishing he could see Oggie and Hardkick again…
~~~ The Outer Island ~~~
When the boat docked at Culebra harbor, Oggie and Hardkick couldn't wait to get off the boat. They were getting tired of the sea, and wanted to be on dry land again. So they went into the town of Culebra and rested from there long voyage at sea. After the sun reached its zenith, Oggie and Hardkick went to a local café for some lunch. Then they went around asking questions about their Dragon friend. Some of the people and dinosaurs didn't know anything about a Dragon being on The Outer Island, and some didn't even care. Then they found a tour guide of the island whom said that he heard of such a Dragon came here a week ago, and was chased off The Outer Island by a group of humans and dinosaurs from the main Island. He told them the Dragon just flew to one of the smaller islands north of here. So Oggie and Hardkick went back to the café to make plans to go island hopping the next day…
~~~ The Other Utahraptor ~~~
Back in Waterfall City Daniel Utahraptor was planning his trek across Dinotopia to The Outer Island to look for the legendary Dragon of Dinotopia. He was alone at the time because he didn't make any friends just yet. And he was thinking if he found this Dragon, maybe he could make a friend. He heard stories from some Basiners that this Dragon was very dangerous and they wanted to kill him. So he just kept thinking about that wondering if they were all true or, they just didn't like Dragons on Dinotopia. But that didn't stop him, it was a quest, and he couldn't refuse a quest…

Part 5
~~~ The Search Continues ~~~
The next morning Oggie and Hardkick rented another boat to continue there little quest of finding their Dragon friend. So they headed north toward the small islands that the island tour guide mentioned earlier. It wasn't long before they found themselves on the first island. They searched it and they didn't find him. Then Hardkick asked, "Do you know if he's even been here?" Oggie turned back toward Hardkick, "Well, I don't think so, shall we go on the next island?" So they searched three of the islands and found nothing, then Oggie just remembered something about Dragons. "Oh, We are going at this the wrong way Hardkick" "How so?" Hardkick said. " I just remembered that Dragons are very stealthy and like to hide their stuff." Oggie said. What kinda stuff? Barry didn't have anything." How do you know this Oggie?" Hardkick snapped back. " You know well as I do that Barry liked to give away his stuff and, it wasn't his way to hoard away anything." Oggie added. "Okay, Thanks for reminding me of that Oggie, With a sorry look on his snout Hardkick said, So what do we look for then Oggie? Then Oggie said, No, not look you smell." Hardkick shot back, "WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!"Oggie staring back, I said, No, not look you smell." Hardkick starts to come after Oggie now, "How dare you insult me like that Oggie!" "NO NO NO! Hardkick," Oggie whips out his sickle claw in defense, I didn't mean that YOU smell, for crying out loud, I meant that you smell for the Dragon." Hardkick stops, Oh! Why didn't you say the Dragon in the first place? Watch it next time."So they continued searching the rest of the islands…
~~~ Daniel Utahraptor's Quest Begins ~~~
So Daniel Utahraptor started his trek across Dinotopia. When He made it to Canyon City he rested there for awhile. He thought to himself about staying here and checking out this place because he never saw Canyon City before. He just heard stories about it. The place where you can fly on a Skybax. Then Daniel said to himself, " I'm sure this would be a good place for a Dragon to make a home." But Daniel knew that the Dragon wasn't there. So he decided to stay here for awhile and checkout the sites. This place is amazing he thought as he gazed over the canyon wall. So he went to find someplace to have some lunch and to go over his plans for looking for the Dragon. Still amazed by this place Daniel decided to stay the night at Canyon City. He'd liked it there. When Daniel's quest was over he was thinking about coming back and studying more about this place and to learn more about the Skybax's Riders and there mounts…

Part 6
~~~ Now Where? ~~~
As Oggie and Hardkick searched the last island, they realized that they were going to find their Dragon friend. Thoughts were going through Kardkicks mind of that maybe their friend found away out to the outer world, and the Dragon was gone for good. Then Oggie asked, "What's with the long snout my friend? You look like you are about to give up." Then Hardkick said, Oh, its not that. I was just thinking that since he's a Dragon he could have found a way out to the world." Don't be so stupid!" Oggie snapped back, "You know there's no way to get past the storms and the razor reef and get out." Besides the storms will tear him apart if he tried, And I think he knows that too. We must be missing something, because he's still around. So lets just look this island over very closely for some clues that he's been here. OK?" So they searched and searched the island for even the slightest clue. Just then Hardkick got very excited, "Over here! I think I have found a clue that he was here. Can you smell that?" Yes! Oggie replied, That smells like a Dragon sent. So he was here but, the next question is, Where did he go from here? There's nothing but ocean for miles in each direction. Then Oggie had a thought, "Hardkick do you remember hearing stories about a small island north of here called The Hand of Dinotopia?" "Oh yes!" replied Hardkick. That's the island Will Denison found and thought was a way out to the world. But that,s very far out there, and its to hard to find. Do you think he's there?" Oggie stared back at Hardkick, Well if I was being hunted that's where I go." I have an idea lets stay here tonight, because if I know Barry he would try to fly back to the main island to get fish, he doesn’t like the fish of the sea. So he'll fly to the Polongo River to get some. He makes a stop here before heading to Dinotopia. And will be waiting for him." So they stayed on this island and waited…
~~~ Canyon City The Next Day~~~
Daniel was so caught up in the sites of Canyon City that he almost for got about his quest to find the Dragon. So he had a quick breakfast and he was on his way back on his quest following the same route that Oggie and Hardkick used. When he reached the city of Porsperine he rested at the inn before continuing on his journey. Then he went down to the dock to rent a boat for The Outer Island… The sun was beginning to set when Daniel's boat docked at Culebra harbor, The Outer Island. So he quickly went to the inn and checked in. then while there was still light left, he went to the Café to grab a bite to eat before heading back to the inn to turn in for the night…

Part 7
~~~ Meet My friend The Dragon ~~~
That night the Dragon was getting ready to fly to the main island of Dinotopia to restock up on food and supplies. So he took off to the south toward where Oggie and Hardkick were staying. Every other day the Dragon takes this route to fool the residence of Dinotopia who exiled him from the Island. This route took him down to The Outer Island, and there he flew across the Warmwater Bay to Dinotopia just south of Porsperine. This area of Dinotopia was called Mukkaawukka Swamp. He was almost over the island Hardkick and Oggie was on. So he decided to take a break on this island unaware that Hardkick and Oggie was down there.
Just then Hardkick heard what sounded like something has landed near by. "Did you hear that Oggie? said Hardkick, gazing in the direction the sound came from. Then Oggie said, Its just the sea breeze picking up. thats what you just heard Hardkick." "Are you sure? when is the last time you heard the sea breeze with a wing beat pattern huh?" Then Oggie snapped back, "If your are so worried about it, then why don't you go and check it out yourself." Hardkick just stood there staring at Oggie, "Is the Utahraptor afraid that the sea breeze will get him eh?" "Very well", The Utahraptor stared back at the gallie, " I'll come with you and prove it to you its just the sea breeze then we can go back to sleep." Then Hardkick smelled something like smoke and sulfur, "Oggie do you smell that? that smells very familiar. And I know theres no volcano on this island either." Then Oggie said, Yes, I smelled that before and your right about there being no volcano on this island." Then Oggie bumps into something very huge, "What in the name of Ogthar! Where did this rock come from? there wasn't any huge rocks on this island, and how did this one get here?" Then they heard this voice that sounded like thunder before them, " WHO ARE YOU CALLING A ROCK EH?!?! Oggie and Hardkick jumped back in fear when they heard it. Then Hardkick said, "The rock speaks to us." Then Oggie turned to Hardkick and said," No, Hardkick that's no rock, Oggie grabs Hardkicks claw and they both jump back about 500 feet. Just then the big stream of fire came toward them almost torching them both. After the fire stopped, The voice repeated, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A ROCK EH?!?!" Then Oggie and Hardkick recognized the voice.
Oggie replied wearily, Oh, Barry, I didn't realize that was you there, and I'm sorry about calling you a rock eh." Pretending not to know them the Dragon said, "So you came here to exile me off this island too eh? Then The Dragon took in a very big breath. Oggie screamed, "NO! Barry! It is us, your friends Hardkick and Oggie, Don't torch us! Please! Then the Dragon let out his breath but this time there wasn't any fire. Then he laughed out loud, Had you two going, didn't I eh? Sorry that I'd frightened you, but I couldn't resist it. Then Hardkick said, Well you did it this time and, its not funny at all" Easy Hardkick. Oggie said, Its just a joke. You ought to know he likes to joke around like that." Yeah stupid dragon Humor." said Hardkick. then Oggie said, Your asking for it Hardkick. You know what will happen if you keep insulting Barry like that. You don't insult a dragon or there maybe Bar Be Que gallie for dinner. lol." Then the Dragon said, Don't worry about it. You know I won't hurt you two, or anyone on Dinotopia. By the way, What brings you two all the way out here eh?" Oggie caught the Dragon's gaze and said, "Looking for you. We missed you and we want to help you with your problem." Oh thats very nice of you two." The Dragon said, But the reason I came out here is because a group of Basiners was going to kill me. You did see what they did to the Mazaanakolas Village eh?" Yes we did. said Hardkick, and Stormy of the Bigclaw Clan said that she would have it restored for you when you came back." And shes going after those who were hunting you down. They talked about it at the Round Table Hall in Waterfall City last week. Oh really, the Dragon said, Do you think Stormy will find them and deal them and convince them that I mean no harm to all of Dinotopia." "Well shes working on it. By the way, Do you live on this island somewhere?" said Hardkick, No. said the Dragon, I have my lair on a small island to the north of here, the island looks like a saurian footprint." Your on the Hand of Dinotopia eh?" said Oggie, Was you thinking you could get out to the rest of the world there because of all of the stories.?" You know the storms will kill you if you try to fly out pasted that island." Oggie added, "Didn't you think I considered that eh? And you know I do not want to leave Dinotopia." the Dragon said, "I love it here." Then Oggie asked, "Where are you headed now?" "I'm going fishing in the Polongo River", said the Dragon, "But I got to make a stop on The Outer Island for something before I go. Its going to take you a couple of days to get back in that boat of yours. So if you have any rope with you, you can tie it on my tail and I'll tow you two back to The Outer Island in no time." So Hardkick and Oggie got the rope and did what the Dragon said and they were on there way back to The Outer Island…

Part 8
~~~ On The Outer Island ~~~
… A few hours later they reached The Outer Island. By the time they got to the harbor the sun was beginning to set. Not a soul was there to greet them too, for that was great for the Dragon because he didn't want anyone on The Other Island knowing the he has returned. The Dragon glanced back to see he was still tied to the rope, he asked, "Cut me loose." Oggie and Hardkick just stood there ignoring the Dragon as they got off the boat. "Hey what about me you two I said cut me loose." the Dragon said with a annoyed look on his snout. "Oh, sorry, I almost forgot you were still tied up." Oggie slashes the rope with his big claw. "Okay, your free." The Dragon stares at the long piece of rope that was still attached to his tail, "Can you do anything right eh?" The Dragon torches the rest of the rope burning it off his tail, "Now, I'm free." Then Oggie said to the Dragon, "I don't think you should hang around here. What if someone sees you? It would be hard to hide a dragon here in Culebra you know." "Leave that to me to worry about." as the Dragon stared in the direction he was going to go, "I have a place to go where nobody can find me." Afraid they may lose there Dragon friend again, both dinosaurs said, Don't you leave us here. We went through all that trouble trying to find you and we don't want to lose you again." So Oggie and Hardkick went to the inn where they stayed the first time they came to town and the Dragon flew to the forest.
That night at the inn, Hardkick was thinking about the Dragon. Oggie turned his gaze to Hardkick, "What's on your mind my friend? You look like you lost something." "Oh, It's nothing Oggie. I was just thinking about our Dragon friend out there all alone in the dark. You know that the forest on The Outer Island are much more dangerous then the Basin." With a surprised look on his snout Oggie said, "Hardkick, come on now, he's a Dragon for crying out loud, He can take care of himself. Besides, the Basiners that exiled him from Dinotopia are not here on The Outer Island. Now let's get some sleep and will go look for him in the morning."
~~~ Oggie and Hardkick Meet The Other Utahraptor ~~~
The next day, The two Dinosaurs had breakfast at the local café in town. It was sunny and very humid that morning, just the way raptors liked it. But Hardkick wasn't very happy about all that heat and humidity. "How can you raptors stand this awful weather?" Hardkick said. Then Oggie said with pride, I'm a Raptor, we like this kind of weather." Then a strange Utahraptor showed up from nowhere blocking there path. "Pardon me you two", said the utahraptor, "I was just going to the café for a bite to eat. Would you like to join me?" Hardkick stepped aside to aloud him to pass on his way and said, "Sure it's too hot for me out here anyway, I'll go with you." Then the other Utahraptor asked Hardkick's friend, "Do you want to come too? By the way, I'm Daniel Utahraptor, nice to meet you." Them Oggie said, "Sure why not, we was just getting ready to leave, but, I guess we can spare some time to get to know one another. I'm Oggie the Utahraptor, and, this is Hardkick a Gallimimus."So the three Dinosaurs went back too the café to talk and to get acquainted with one another. Then Hardkick asked, What brings you here to The Outer Island on this awful hot and humid day? Daniel paused for a moment to think up something to say, because he didn't want to say exactly why he came here for, "Oh, I came here hoping to find something very interesting and I find you two." Then he said, "Can you tell me more about this place, It looks like a very nice place to live. And the weather is great here too." Oggie said, Well we don't exactly live on this island, we came here looking for someone who got lost." Hardkick looked at Oggie and was trying to think up something that wouldn't give away what they were doing here, "Yeah, We are looking for are lost friend Barry, he's on this island. That is why we were getting ready to leave. To go look for him." Then Daniel said, "Say, let's team up and make a quest out of it. While you look for your friend, I can look for what I came here for." So they started off in the very same direction the Dragon flew, Toward the forest. "So what's your friend like?", Daniel asked as they went deeper in the forest, Our friend is very nice and a bit unusual. He likes to spend most of his time in the forest, Especially, up in the trees, he says the trees are his favorite place to hide from people and saurians." "Oh, Daniel said, How strange, Why dose he do that?" Daniel starts to think that there friend sounds like this Dragon he's looking for. "It's a game he likes to play with everyone." Oggie said, And we told him that it's not safe for him to be up in those trees, Especially, if climbing is a thing we hate to do."Then Hardkick starts feeling strange, "Oh," Oggie? "What is it Hardkick?" "I'm not feeling so great, Its so hot today."Hardkick complained. Then they heard a sound just up ahead, and Oggie smelled smoke. "Did you hear that?" "Yes we did Oggie." Then Daniel said, I don't think we should stay here for long. There is a fire near by." Daniel added, "Maybe we can go back to town and get someone to help stop the fire." Hardkick stared at Daniel and said, "I don't think their be any time for that, and, it's too far to get back to town to warn any one. Besides that, it rains here a lot and that will take care of it." Just then The Dragon swoops down so fast that no one didn't see him swipe up Hardkick, Then he disappeared back into the trees. Then Daniel said, "Where did Hardkick go? I didn't see him run away." Then they heard this loud crack sound from above. "Watch out!" Oggie exclaimed, A tree branch falls down to the ground almost hitting Daniel. "Are you alright?" Oggie said, "Yes" Daniel replied, I thought I saw something up there. Something very big." "Maybe it was a Skybax",Oggie said, "They love the trees." High above the trees The dragon with Hardkick in his claws flew over to and open field and set Hardkick down. "Hi Hardkick." The Dragon said, "What brings you and Oggie and a total stranger here?" "We are looking for you so we can go back to Dinotopia." Staring at HardKick the Dragon then said, "Back…to Dinotopia? But first could we get acquainted with you Outer Island friend you brought a long before we go back to Dinotopia?" "Sure" Hardkick said, "The stranger isn't from The Outer Island, He's from Dinotopia. His name is… Let me see… Oh, yeah, Daniel Utahraptor." Then the Dragon said "There is no place for me to land where Oggie and Daniel are. so can you go get them and bring them here eh?" "Sure" Hardkick said, "By the way, what's wrong with your tail?" "Oh, That", The Dragon said, "That's where the rope you two tied on me was. I'd had to burn it off and I couldn't get it put out in time and I got burned. Don't worry about it Dragons heal very fast. Now go on get your friends." So Hardkick left…
~~~ Meet My Dragon Daniel ~~~
Hardkick ran as fast as he could to get back to the Utahraptors as the Dragon waited in the clearing. The Dragon couldn't believe that his friends still cared for him, and wanted him to come back to Dinotopia. The Dragon was having second thoughts about going back because of all the trouble some people gave him. When he was chased off Dinotopia he heard some of the Basiners that were hunting him say If he ever returned to Dinotopia they would kill him. But he was happy that Oggie and Hardkick came to see him, and, they brought a friend with them too. A few minutes later Harkick came running up to where the two Utahraptors were standing. Oggie and Daniel were searching the area for Hardkick when Daniel spotted him running to them. "So, There you are. Where did you go to? the last thing I knew you were standing here and then like lightning you were gone." Daniel added, I thought that you got spooked and ran off, or something." Trying to catch his breath Hardkick said, Oh no, It was Barry. He came down so fast and snatched me up like I was his prey or something. Well at least one thing he hasn't lost his touch as a formidable hunter, I didn't least suspected that he was coming." " So, where is he Hardkick? where's Barry? said Oggie. "He is waiting for me to bring you two back to him in that clearing just up ahead. Oh yeah Oggie, did you noticed anything about Barry when we found him on that tiny island last night?" Oggie replied, Yeah in a way, but, I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me because it was late. He gotten bigger has he?" "Yeah," said Hardkick, "a lot bigger. I wonder how much bigger he's going to get?" "I don't know Hardkick", said Oggie, "I don't know anything about dragons. I don't think anyone on Dinotopia knows very much about them either. And if he keeps getting bigger well he won't have to worry about anyone killing him either. When I bumped into him he felt like a big rock. I never felt anything as hard as he was. Even a Ankylosaurus isn't that hard."
The three Dinosaurs just entered the clearing where Hardkick just came from. It was a very large open Field almost a mile long and the same in width too. It didn't take them long to spot something very large halfway in the Field. "There he is up ahead." Hardkick said, The Dragon saw them coming and reared up on his hind legs and spreaded out his wings over shadowing them all. "Gees, He is very big." Daniel said, He won't eat us will he?" "Don't be so silly Daniel. He's are friend, he won't hurt you." Oggie said. "Yeah I doubt that we could even scratch him either. look at the size of him. No wonder those Basiners were afraid of him." Daniel said. "Well, hi my friends." The Dragon said, "Who is your new friend eh?" The Dragon drops back down on all fours, and, walks right up to wards Daniel Utahraptor. Then he lowers his big head and Daniel jumps back. "Don't worry I won't eat you." The Dragon said, "I'm just checking you out. That's all." then Oggie said, Oh, go on Daniel go up to him, touch him." "Are you nuts or something. That thing is dangerous." Hardkick gets a worried look on his snout, "Oh, no Daniel, you shouldn't have said that." "It's alright Hardkick, he didn't offend me." The Dragon said. "Okay now, Hardkick said, We found him. Lets get back to Culebra, it's awfully hot here and I can't take any more of this weather." "Oh, Hardkick.", The Dragon turned his head to wards Hardkick, "Maybe I could fix that for you." "OH NO YOU DON'T! I know what you have in mind, and, I don't like it." said Hardkick. "What!?" said Daniel, What was he going to do? And don't tell me he can breathe ice." Hardkick replied, "that is exactly what he was going to do Daniel." "I won't freeze…" Hardkick cuts the Dragon off before he could finish speaking. "NO! Barry. I won't become a dino Popsicle. Just forget it. Okay?" Then Daniel protests, Thats not possible, If he dose fire he can't possibly do ice too." "I can do a lot of things Daniel", said The Dragon, "I'm learning new things everyday. Not only that I can do fire and ice, but I can do thunder too. And if I get injured I also can heal very quickly too. Now, lets stop wasting time and lets go to Culebra…"
~~~ At Culebra ~~~
That night… The Dinosaurs and The Dragon arrived at Culebra harbor. All was quiet in town. So The dinosaurs went to the inn for the night. The Dragon spent the night down at the shore away from town so he wouldn't be detected by anyone in town. The three Dinosaurs set up most of the night trying to figure out how they are going to plan the trip across Warmwater Bay to Porsperine. They knew it was going to be hard to hide a Dragon from everyone in Porsperine. So they had to come up with something fast. The sun would be up very soon, and, they were running out of time too. So they decided to sleep on it and burn that bridge when they came to it.

Part 9
~~~ Are we leaveing yet? ~~~
The next morning it was raining, but, it seen normal for The Outer Island, since it rains there most of the time. They had there breakfast of the usual stuff and they packed all what they needed for the trip back to Dinotopia. After they did all that, Oggie sent Hardkick to look for The Dragon down by the seashore. Then Daniel and Oggie went to the harbor to wait for them. Hardkick ran to the nearest beach he could find, because he knew that The Dragon loved beaches. When he got there Hardkick couldn't find the dragon. He looked all over the beach. "Now where would he be?" Hardkick thought as he walked along the seashore. He continued walking down the seashore until he spotted The Dragon down by the water. Then Hardkick had gotten a big surprise. The Beach was covered with snow about 4 feet deep. Hardkick thought, "What in Ogthar's name is he doing now?" He walked up to The Dragon and he said, "Barry, What are you doing? Are you messing around with your ice breath again? "The Dragon turned around to face Hardkick and said, "No, not really. Why you ask eh?" Then Hardkick gets a shock of his life. "Because of all this snow here on the… Beach! OH MY GOODNESS! What have you done?" All the rain from a storm over the Bay was turning into snow and heading for The Outer Island. Hardkick Protested, "What are the people and dinosaurs on The Outer Island going to do when they see this island covered with snow? They are going to freak out and think that the worlds coming to an end." Then the dragon said, "Come on Hardkick. You have a over reacting imagination. I can't make it snow all over the island. I just wanted to see what would happen if I blew my ice breath out over the bay here. And nobody will see this because it's to hot here on this island. When I leave here this will go away fast." Then Hardkick said, "Alright now, lets just get back to the harbor so we can get back to Dinotopia, Okay?" So they went to the harbor to meet Oggie and Daniel… At the Harbor Oggie and Daniel was wondering what was taking Hardkick so long to find the Dragon and Get back to the harbor. Then this snowball came whizzing by and almost hits Oggie. "What the… Where did that come from? said Oggie. Then Hardkick walked up to Oggie and Daniel, "Hi Oggie my friend, I hope I didn't keep you waiting long." "Waiting long! So it was you who through that snowball."said Oggie, "Where in the world did you find snow in a hot place like this?" Then The Dragon flies overhead. "Never-mind", Oggie said, "I think I know where you found it. Come on lets get going." The three Dinosaurs got on the boat while The Dragon was circling above them. Then Daniel said, "What about the Dragon? Where is he going to go." Then the Dragon said, "Don't worry Daniel, were not going on that boat. Were going on that one over there." The Dinosaurs look over where the Dragon was heading and saw a big barge. Then the dragon lands on the barge and he yells back at the Dinosaurs, "Come on you three. We don't have all day. Lets get moving before that storm gets bad." So the Dinosaurs got off the boat they were on and met The Dragon on his. And They casted off…
~~~ "Row, Row, Row, Your Boat… ~~~
About 1000 yards out The water was getting very choppy. This makes Hardkick very queasy again when they first came over the bay before. HardKick said, "Oh no, Not again. I hate being on the heavy seas. Can we go down below?" So the Dinosaurs went down below to there cabin.Up on the deck The Dragon was fast asleep. Then one of the crew mates came to the cabin where the Dinosaurs were staying. "So it's just you three guys that's aboard with us tonight" said the crew mate. Then Oggie said, "Oh no sir, that will be four of us. The other is up on deck." "Up on Deck!" The crew mate yelled, "He should be with you three. Its not safe up there in a storm. I better go get him." The Crew mate ran off. Hardkick yelled, "No sir!" But he was gone. Then Hardkick said, "What do you think they would do if they find a Dragon on there boat?" Then all three of them ran out the door heading up to the deck. The rain was coming down so hard you couldn't see more the three feet in front of you. Only when the lightning flashed you could see, other wise, it was too dark to see anything. Just then the crew mate bumped into something hard. "What the…" the crew mate said, then he saw it. The crew mate started running right back to wards the bridge. Oggie saw him running his way and he grabed him. The crew mate protested, "What are you doing? we have a really big problem up here. Get down below!" Then Oggie said, "What problem sir. If you seen one storm you seen them all." "It's not the storm." The crew mate said, "It's a DRAGON! So get down below, we will deal with the dragon." Then Daniel said, "No! Don't be afraid of are friend, he won't hurt you." Then the crew mate said, "Your friend's a DRAGON! You can't make friends with a Dragon! That beast will skin you alive! We are going to push it overboard." Just then The Dragon appears, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BEAST!" Oggie steps up to the Dragon, "No Barry!" He said, "Don't you do it!" "YOU GET OUT OF MY WAY OGGIE",The Dragon said, "NO ONE CALLS ME A BEAST AND LIVES." The Three Dinosaurs could not believe what they just heard, and, they had to think of something fast. Or all the sailors on this boat will be done for…
The Dragon pushed Oggie away like he wasn't even there. Then Daniel shouted at the top of his lungs, "Barry! please don't do this! If you kill all the sailors we will never see Dinotopia again!" The Dragon just ignored him and kept on going to wards the bridge of the boat. "Oh! we have to stop him or we are all dead." Hardkick said. Then Daniel said, "Oh, why did that crew mate have to call him a beast?" All the sailors just made it into the bridge, and, the captain told them to go below through the hatch here on the bridge. The sailors asked the captain if he was going to be okay? And the captain said this bridge is well protected, you all saw what that Giganotosaurus tried to do last week, he could not get in. The Dragon got to the bridge of the boat and was looking for a way to get in, then he said, "IF YOU DON'T COME OUT I WILL BURN YOU OUT!" Then Oggie came up behind the Dragon, "Barry! Please stop! don't do it!" The Dragon turned around and went up to Oggie and said, "NO! OGGIE! I WILL NOT!" Smoke started coming out of his snout like a firey furnace. "I WILL NOT STAND HERE AND BE CALLED A BEAST LIKE THAT!" This got Oggie worried and he started to think. Then Oggie said, "Barry! I'll go in and try to get then to apologize to you and if they do, will you stop?" Then the Dragon said, "OKAY! BUT MAKE IT QUICK!" So Oggie went into the bridge to talk to the captain, and to the rest of the sailors. Then Daniel came up to the Dragon. The Dragon turned to him and asked, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Then Daniel said, "I'd like to know why your doing this if you know we could all die?" The Dragon just stared at him funny and said, "YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US DRAGONS DO YOU." Then Daniel said, "Why are you still yelling at me for? I didn't call you a beast, and, no. I don't know anything about Dragons. That's why I came here looking for you to find out. When I found out there was a Dragon on Dinotopia I had to know if it was true or if someone made up all those stories about you." Just then Oggie and the captain came out of the bridge. Then Oggie said, "Barry?, The captain wants to see you." The Dragon turned from Daniel and started back to wards the bridge, Then Oggie said, "This is the captain of this boat here he has something to say to you." The Dragon asked, "DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME?" Then the captain said, "Yes, I do. We didn't know that their was a Dragon on this boat, and, on behalf of all the crew I'm sorry that one of my mates insulted you. Will you forgive us? IT will not happen again." "Apology accepted" The Dragon said, "I'm sorry too sir for not telling you about him sooner." said Oggie. Then the captain went back to the bridge. It took a very long time before the rest of the sailors to come out. When the storm subsided, the Dragon went to the far end of the boat to sleep. The sailors came out to do their work on the deck being very careful not to wake up the dragon. Hours went by, and the Dinosaurs were having there dinner in the mess hall. Then Daniel asked, "Oggie you seem to know Barry very well. How did you get to know him?" Then Oggie said, "Daniel, I met him one day in the Basin…" Oggie told him his story about his Dragon friend as they ate. The boat was nearing Porsperine at the time Oggie finished his story. Then one of the sailors came down to the Dinosaurs to let them know they will be docking in two minutes.

Part 10
~~~ Back on Dinotopia ~~~
As soon as the boat docked the Dinosaurs headed for the inn. The Dragon, on the other hand, just stood there on the boat staring at the Dinosaurs. Then Oggie looked back towards him. "Why are you staying on the boat Barry?" Then the Dragon said, "You know very well why I don't come off." "Oh, you think those residents of the Basin will find you?" Oggie said. "Relax, and come on. I'm sure we can get this all sorted out. Me and Hardkick will be off tomorrow for Waterfall City to discuss this with the members of The Round Table. While Daniel Utahraptor will stay with you untill we get back." Oggie continued, "I'm sure Daniel has a lot of questions about dragons for you." Staring at Daniel, "Yea, I'm sure he dose." The Dragon said. "What am I supposed to do when you two are gone eh? And where am I going to stay eh? You know some here do fear me." "Don't worry about it Barry." Oggie said, "You know where the forest is. Just go there. No one will see you." "Alright, but what makes you sure that I won't fly back to The Outer Island?" The Dragon said with a grin. "Oh no you don't!" Oggie runs towards the Dragon, "After all we gone through finding and bringing you back here. That would have been a waste of our time and, I wouldn't like that. Promise you stay here on Dinotopia untill we get back?" The Dragon gives in, "Okay, I will. Just hurry it up."
The next day Oggie and Hardkick started for Waterfall City. Daniel and The Dragon headed for the nearest forest. And nobody realized that The Dragon was back on Dinotopia. This made The Dragon very happy. Daniel Utahraptor on the other hand wanted to go back to visit Canyon City and to continue his studies about the place. He tryed to get the Dragon to go to Canyon City. But The Dragon refused. So the continued to the forest…
More coming soon…
