Volume 1

Chapter 1 Fars Peak 

On the North Eastern side of the island, on a small mountain called Fars Peak, there lived a baby Argentavis. Alone and abandoned, the tiny bird tried it’s best to survive on its own. One day there was a low growl coming from the slope of the mountain. The baby Argy tried to hide in what little grass remained on the path, but it was no use. The Saber Tooth has a keen sense of both smell and sight. This would be the baby Argy’s last day on Fars Peak.

The mighty sabor raised its paw and prepared to strike its prey. Before it could go through with the attack, there was loud clap coming from the opposite side of mountain. There stood a strange creature holding a strange looking stick. The Saber quickly changed its sights on this new threat. The man took the spear in both hands and ran towards the Saber. The baby Argy watched as the fight continued back and forth. At one point, it seemed the Saber had the upper hand. Then with one swift and final blow, it was over.

The baby Argy could not believe what it had witnessed. This funny two-legged creature was able to defeat something so powerful, and with nothing but a pointy stick. The man slowly started to approach the Argy, who was still in shock after confronting the Saber. The man kneeled down to one knee and spoke very softly, “Hey little guy. Don’t worry, you are safe now.” The Argy stood there frozen in place. Then watched as the man stood up and went to the edge of the mountain and built a warm fire. The sun was setting, and there was a brisk chill in the air. The little Argy still felt weak, but finally worked up enough courage to walk closer to the fire. Things would never be the same for the man or the baby Argy as this would be their last night on Fars Peak. 

Chapter 2 First Flight 

Just off the shores of Fars Peak, on a small patch of sand there was a thatch hut. This was now home. The little Argentavis wasn’t so little anymore. A few months have past and the Argy had grown taller than the man, but he was still unable to fly. Food was plentiful as the sea was home to thousands of fish. Life was good...most of the time. 

One day the man was fishing like usual. The Argy was exploring near the shore, unaware of the danger lurking below. In a blink of an eye, a giant Shark emerge out of the water and attacked! The Argy flapped its wings to get away, but was tripping on the rocks. The Shark was closing in, until the man jumped on its back! The shark thrashed about angrily. Without thinking, the Argy leapt into the air, flapping as hard as he could. He wanted to save his friend. 

The man felt his hands go numb, he couldn’t hold on to the Sharks back anymore. But just as he was about to let go, he felt a fluffle of feathers against his skin. The Argy had picked him up and was taking him back to shore. Not calculating the man's weight, the Argy started to fall towards the water. SPLASH! They were back in the water with the Shark. The man quickly got out of the Argys talons and was able to reach shore. He then grabbed what appeared to be a stick with shiny parts. Then there was a loud BOOM! The Shark started to bleed everywhere. Then follows more loud booms, until there was nothing but a floating mass. 

A few hours later, and after a very big dinner, both the man and Argy looked out over towards Frozen Tooth, the ice mountain. The Argy could sense that the man wanted to travel there. This made the Argy uncomfortable because just to the side of the mountain was an unusual structure. The man spoke, “Soon my friend, we will travel there.”

Chapter 3 Flightless

A few months had passed since the Megalodon battle and it had become a distant memory, for the Argy was now full grown and the majority of creatures feared it. The man had been hard at work on a new house along with something else, a side project that involved his feathery companion. Certain crafting items were needed for this special project. The man grabbed his new metal spear and set out along the beach in hunt of the swimming bug-like creatures. The Argy followed, as they have gone hunting together many times in the past. The came across a small cluster of Trilobites. The man and Argy stayed hidden in the tall grass, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. This hunt did not last long as the Trilobites were quickly slaughtered and the materials were collected. It was getting late and time to head back home for certain unpleasant beasts would roam the shores at night. 

The man stayed up all night to complete his work. The following morning the man revealed to his friend what he had been crafting. It was a saddle. The Argy looked at the man with a confused look for it had never seen such a contraption. The man started to connect the leather pieces around the Argys neck. Panicked, the Argy quickly threw up its wings in an attempt to shake it off. Then in a last ditch effort it took to the skies, across the beach and up the hill. “Wait!” Said the man. “It won’t hurt you!” But the man's voice could not reach the argy, for a new cry filled its ears. Something it had not heard before. Something that seemed to rattled the Argy’s insides. Due to the Argy’s sporadic movements, something popped loose on the saddle and got tangled in its wing. The man had just reached the top of the hill to see his friend falling from the sky. He ran as fast as he could, past the trees and rocks until and found the Argy collapsed on a rock. Then all fell silent. The earth shook. A horrific roar filled the air. Something was closing in. 

Chapter 4 The Mountainside 

The creature was getting closer, shaking the trees with each step. The man quickly ran to the Argy’s side and tried to shake his friend awake. It was no use, the Argy was out cold. The man was armed with only a metal spear. There was no way he was going to win this fight, but he refused to leave his friend. The Rex took a step closer, just inches away from the man, when all of the sudden something struck it! The Rex let out a painful roar and stumbled backwards. The man saw a spear sticking out the side of its neck. Then followed another roar, but this one seemed different. The man looked behind him, and up on the mountain there was a bright white dinosaur and it had a rider. 

The Rex had decided to back down and return to the forest. The man quickly went to the Argy’s side and tried to wake it. The mysterious rider had disappeared along with its mount. Finally the Argy started to wake. The man was so happy to see his friend unharmed. The Argy seemed a little shaken up but nothing too bad. The man noticed one of the broken saddle straps that had caused the Argy to fall. It was an easy fix. Now the saddle was good to go, but would the Argy panic like before? This was a dangerous spot on the side of the mountain, and the man knew that they must return home quickly. Moving ever so slowing, the man was able to climb up the saddle. “Let’s go home.” Said the man, and off they flew. Later that night, the man sat there thinking about the days events. So many questions that needed answering.
