《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 13 (Part 1)

The Echinosauropteryx carried Antonio across the skies until it reached a tall and gigantic nest. The creature dropped him onto the nest right next to some spotted eggs before turning around and flying back. Antonio came to and placed his hand on his head.
Where am I?
He got up slowly and looked around, noticing the pterodactyl disappeared.
Antonio looked down from the nest, but couldn’t see what was at the bottom because of the tremendous amount of fog surrounding the area. His legs shook, his body covered in sweat, and his heart ricocheted around his ribcage.
He fell back and crawled over behind an egg, unsure of what to do next in this situation. Antonio accidentally knocked over one, causing it to fall and crack open. Much to his surprise, the contents inside were tiny white crystals. He picked one up and scrutinized them.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, an enormous geyser rose from the cavern floor, which was a considerable significant distance from the nest, with a minecart floating above it. The last thing he expected to see in front of him was Tommy, Maggie, and Ruth leaping off the vehicle to the top of the cavern as the geyser went back down. Were they trying to save him? What could they be doing over there?
Antonio stepped back to make sure he didn’t fall off himself. Something vibrated against his back, and he turned to see the eggs about to hatch. Coming out of the eggs were a bunch of smaller, ferocious Echinosauropteryx’ crawling and charging toward Antonio. He ran for his life around the nest, hoping not to get caught or trip and fall.
“Hang on; I’m coming!” Tommy shouted from a distance.
Tommy rushed over to the edge and leaped over to the nest. Antonio looked over in shock as his friend missed the nest and fell. He could grab onto the rough patches around the nest and stop his descent. Tommy climbed to the top, where his friend waited to pull him up.

As soon as Tommy landed safely inside the nest, Antonio continued getting swarmed by the tinier Echinosauropteryxs, who didn’t hesitate to poke him to no end. Tommy rushed over to shoo away the small dinosaurs.
Without warning, they heard Maggie’s voice yelling for them to ‘Watch out’ as the bigger Echinosauropteryx returned, flapping its wings in anger above the nest. Tommy pushed Antonio out of the way before the Echinosauropteryx grabbed and carried him away. Antonio tried to reach for him by extending his hand, but couldn’t get to him quickly enough.
As the Echinosauropteryx lifted the Tommy over to the smaller ones with their beaks opening and closing, the big dinosaur soon got hit by rocks. Everyone turned to see Maggie on the other side of the cliff, throwing stones from her red backpack.
“Let him go you—”
“No, wait!” Ruth exclaimed, grabbing her arm. “You’re just going to make—”
The Echinosauropteryx let go of Tommy, causing him to fall off and miss the nest.
“TOMMY!” Antonio cried out.
Without hesitating, he leaped off the nest and followed Tommy, leaving Maggie and Ruth to gasp, horrified. As the two continued to fall, Antonio noticed the white crystal lifting out of his pocket and glow. Antonio quickly snatched it back and prayed with all his might that he and Tommy would make it out ok.
“Come on, Crystal, please don’t fail me now!” Without warning, a great big flash appeared before their eyes, and they disappeared without a trace.
From the cliffside, just a short distance away from the high nest, Maggie and Ruth watched in bewilderment as the whole scene unfolded right before their eyes.
Where did they go? Are they ok?
Just then, another flash showed up above them as Tommy and Antonio reemerged and landed on the ground safely.

“Whoa, how did you do that?” Maggie snapped around and asked.
“Well...” Antonio tried to get out a sentence, but the four seemed to have almost forgotten about the fact that the Echinosauropteryx was still around. A roar came from behind them.
As the four dashed in the opposite direction, trying to avoid the creature’s wrath, Antonio remembered he still had the white crystal in his hand. He tried his luck again by rubbing the shard, hoping the same tactic would work once more. Sure enough, the flash of light brightened around them as the group got whisked away just as the creature reached for them.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
