But basically Josh dropped out of the roleplay and without him there's really no more Turner Park. What is Turner Park without Turner? Right now everyone except Josh is on Dinotopia, his wife died when the world got destroyed. The world getting destroyed was due to Tamith being in a destructive mood so instead of having a cute little Puerto Rican Chainsaw Massacre she settled for writing a piece about the gods being angry and the world getting destroyed by a few ´elementals´who control wind, fire, water and earth. The world didn´t explode (yet). Rebecca is dead, Az lives, as does Gareth, Josh lives but has flown off into space with the Lone Star, dr Marcus might be alive but I´m not sure if I care to let her live or not as without society and modern technology she is as useless as it gets (She would probably have gone away with the Lone Star). Enigma (the cloned dragon) has grown up, gone wild and returned to its people. Dinotopia is more or less swept clean altough there may still be survivors and there are a lot of demon like creatures about to finish off what is left. There are refugees of several places on Dinotopia in the world beneath, trying to settle and figure out what to do next. Az now has a skybax that used to be of one of the children of one of the elementals, Freeborn, who lets her ride him. With Freeborn she managed to get to her clan and made them go into the world beneath. As for the elementals, they´ve been human/like for a long time living on the Island and one of the elementals is the reason Azzy and Tamith and maybe others are more or less ´immortal´as he tried to ´heal´ them when they were injured and over/healed them so they managed to jump the 200 year gap between Turner Park and the old Dinotopia RP´s.... Tamith is actually married to the human-waterspirit Dylan, who is brother to Kael who is the wind spirit. Kael is married to Shannara who is the earth spirit. Aiden (Mairi) is the Fire spirit. Oh yes and as a result of these kind elementals, the elements no longer obey the laws of physics, you can´t make a fire without Aiden seizing control of it and she hates mankind. If you should try to fly, the weather conditions are comparable to those of the biblical floods. Flying and swimmming are not recommended. So no, I have no idea what to do, where logic fails, I fail, useless like dr Marcus on an Island without technology.

Az thought it incredible that she and Freeborn made it back to the World Beneath without anymore interruptions. Perhaps Death had granted her a safe passageway so she could complete whatever twisted task it was he had in mind for her. Her first task after making sure her clan was still okay was to check on Andres. When she found him, he didn't look too good. He was just staring at nothing, and when she touched his forehead, he was burning up. Thinking to soothe his pain, she got him a drink of water.
It took a few moments, but Andres finally focused on her and smiled weakly. He took the water and nodded his thanks.
"Good to see you got back in one piece," he mumbled then proceeded in drinking. He had barely taken a full sip, when he doubled over seized by a coughing fit.
Az grabbed a blanket and cleaned up the spilled water. She noticed that his leg had been splinted but it still looked bad. The healer had been unable to do as good a job as he could have if he'd had all of the supplies he needed. A piece of bone had been used as the splint and a cut rope had been used to tie the bone to his leg. Az didn't know how good a job that would do for his leg healing straight, but it'd be better than nothing.
"How you doing?" Az asked.
Andres shook his head as if trying to clear it. "I'm not sure what they are or what they're after. All I know is what the Fire Spirit told us. Those… things apparently were once held back by her, I'm not sure I understood what she meant… Beneath the surface perhaps? Now they're free and from what I've seen all they do is spread destruction."
The raptor pondered his words. "If they came from beneath the surface, then they could easily come back here any time. I wonder if there's anything that can hold them back or keep them away. I was wrong about their mortality..." As she mentioned mortality, Az's gaze drifted off a bit and she stared into space for a second before snapping back to reality.
"They don't like rain," Andres tossed. "Well… not any rain, rain like it was raining earlier. I'm not sure I can explain it properly." He shrugged. "What about their mortality? I thought you said they could be killed."
"I shot two and they just ripped out the arrows before coming at me. They're..." Az paused, unsure how to phrase what she wanted. She decided to go for the simplest thing she could think of. "They're Death's escort."
Andres stared at her. He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again. "Mrs. Turner…" he started cautiously. "She said something about about a 'him' before… Before we got separated." He then stared out into space for several seconds. " Escort? Thousands of escorts? Thousands of raving escorts?"
She shrugged. "Could be. Anything is believeable now. Who knows what's real or not anymore? Anyway, I doubt we'll be getting any rain down here."
"It wasn't rain!" Andres exclaimed suddenly. "It just looked like it! It hurt me!"
"Ok, not rain." She sort of laughed to herself. "Acid!" She'd heard of acid rain during her time out in the world beyond Dinotopia.
Andres seemed to be living in another world. He looked down at the space between the two of them and began to shiver. "She said the last of her Brothers would come with his servants… to hunt… kill… I don't know! And she would not hold down the creatures any longer. The water was bitter, the earth barren, the winds destructive, and fire would not hold back what it should."
"What?" He wasn't making any sense and was actually beginning to sound like the elementals. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Then, one by one, they all disappeared," he continued oblivious to her presence. "And from the fire river, the black fountain appeared. After that, I can't remember… I know she was dead, but I couldn't see the others anymore. Why…?"
Az shook her head and got up to find the healer. He was clearly out of his senses.
