《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 2 (Part 4)
Advertisement
Tommy, Antonio, and that girl from before landed on the ground safely as the portal above them closed up. The three got up, rubbed their heads, and dusted off before having a look around. Tommy didn't know where they were, as it didn’t seem like any other place he had been to or seen before.
The sky had a weird mix of yellow and orange with a red sun glowing. The dry and cracked ground where the three stood, while up ahead, there appeared to be green, wet terrain with jade green tree leaves and light brown trunks and stems. They couldn’t see much more beyond the green. The question was, where did they end up? And was there more to this place than they imagined?
“Where do you suppose we are exactly?” Tommy asked, his heart pounded around his ribcage.
“You’re asking me? I can’t give a solid answer...” Antonio replied. “I’m still processing what’s happening right now.”
The black-haired girl took out a video recorder from her red bag, for she didn’t seem to be as afraid as the other two. “All right, so this is the place, huh? Time for me to go exploring.”
The female went to head off in a different direction. Tommy placed his hand on her shoulder and made her stop in place.
“Hey, wait.”
The girl gave out an exasperated sigh and turned to him. “What now?”
“What were you thinking?” He questioned, throwing his arms in the air. “You trapped us in here, and you’re not even scared? You don’t even regret your actions?”
“Of course not. Why should I when this was all your fault?”
“What!? How so?”
“You pushed the button.”
“But you pushed me!”
“You were annoying!”

“Well, maybe you shouldn’t have broken in, huh?”
“I had business to do there, so I had no choice! If you had just let me be, you wouldn’t have—”
“Guys!” Antonio shouted, breaking their argument. "Will you stop—?"
Some loud booming noises snapped the trio out of their concentration. They turned around and found themselves face to face with a big gray dinosaur. It had sharp teeth, medium-sized arms, crooked legs, a big beak for a mouth, and multi-colored eyes. It had a form of the T-Rex, but something felt a bit off about the creature.
“Don’t move.” The black-haired girl muttered.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Tommy asked.
“That’s a Kritocephalorex. They may look scary, but they’re very noble-headed. Just hold your ground, ok?”
“Whoa, how do you know—?”
“Just do as I say or else, all right?”
Tommy and Antonio gulped as they continued to stare at the dinosaur, as it stared at them back. Their bodies froze in place, and their hearts pounded across their chests as they tried their best to not make a sound. After what felt like an eternity, eventually, the dinosaur walked away, prompting the group to collapse on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief.
“It left, finally...” Antonio said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
“But how is this possible?” Tommy asked. He stared at the horizon from a distance. “Why are there dinosaurs here?”
“Beats me, perhaps we’ve gone back in time?”
“Seriously, that’s your best guess?” The female rolled her eyes.
“Hey, I don’t see you helping.” Tommy sharply rebuked.
More noises got their attention, only this time, it came from the trees, as some bird-like dinosaurs that looked like pterodactyls flew away. Even the gray dinosaur from before ran past in the opposite direction from them.

The trio had no clue what was going on or what caused this until they turned around and noticed two big black legs pop out from the trees and slowly headed toward their direction.
Antonio observed the situation as he let out anxious laughter. He made a glance at the girl. “So, ma’am, what should we—?”
“Run, definitely run!” She replied quickly and ran in the opposite direction.
The two boys followed her lead, hearts pounding against their chests as they tried to catch their breath. But soon, the three tripped and slid down the hill. They looked up as some glowing purple eyes stared them down as the three tumbled to the ground below. After more roaring echoed around them, the group got up and bolted the hill base and ran straight into the forest-like terrain.

Souls of Savagery
Souls of Savagery is a series of short stories intended to function much like a comic book series. However, to experience the complete story in a logical order you should read the volumes in numerical order, starting of course, with Volume 1: A Bloodbath by Any Other Name. Each volume is told from a single point of view and that will change from volume to volume. Though, the narrative will require later volumes to return to characters that have been featured previously. I hope you enjoy.
