Ptera has become a fully grown adult, with this he must now make the journey to the coast to reproduce.  Now his wings majestic, his crest and body has gotten full colours and grown in size, he has mastered flying and survival due to his bad experiance as a child, He flew across the trees seizing the sky and once again going toward the bright star, he saw many more pteranodons move the same direction, so many just like him, his little heart was filled with joy knowing he wasn't alone anymore that he wouldn't be like his father. He felt just like a child again, looking up with loving eyes he had never felt so warm and happy, free just like the world intended it to be, this was his home and he was proud, exited, like on a cold winters day, getting into a nice warm bed.

A cold breeze hit his wings, it was a sign that he was close the great breeding ground, the coast, He could now see the sea after travelling for miles and waiting his whole life. he could hear the crashing of the waves on the calm beach, the great wind pushing him in and all the other birds, just like  him. Ptera landed on a large rock face and clinged on as he saw the best looking pteranodon cling on next to him and look into ptera's eyes, it was love at first sight, She had chosen him but it seemed that someone else wannted her. Another male approached and snapped its beak at Ptera though this was his first fight he flew off to a more flat ground where the other male trailed behind, Ptera had the larger crest but no experiance so it led down to an intimidation display, he clapped his beak and flapped his wings at the male, in which he copied, Ptera then went in for a small slash with his tiny legs. 

*peck* *peck* *peck*

Ptera grabbed the males head and moved him about with as much force as he could, bringing the male to the ground squaking, The female once again came over, more in love due to his strength, Ptera did the mating dance and so did the female impressed, in no time at all they went up to a large coastal rock and hugged together, watched the sunset communicating in their own way, Now they both felt that same warm, fuzzy feeling but now it was even stronger with them being together and ready to continue the circle of life.
