"What has become of my life..." ~ (Y/N)

20 010 Years Ago

Ice Age

......

Silence.

A foreign term for (Y/N) ever since being paired up with these animals, especially since meeting the chatter-box sloth.

But, it was true, everything and everyone was silent as they gazed in distain at where the once little thief stood before retreating farther away from them and disappearing behind the various colored rocks.

"I don't know but I've been told!"~

"(I don't know but I've been told)"~

Multiple voices mixed with fleeting footsteps could be heard from down under the rocky cliff the now unfrozen animals were perched upon, gazing down at the scene with mixed emotions.

"End of the world be mighty cold!"~

"(End of the world be mighty cold)"~

In the canyon below them, bands of pink dodo birds were gathered together in a straight formation, like a military readying themselves for war. The leaders was guiding them through, what looks to be their territory as some dodos were gathering around to watch them from their roosts while the others seemed to be busying themselves with trying to collect different items.

Overall, it looked liked they were preparing for something big.

"Prepare for the Ice Age!" One shouted, flocking their colorful wings in the air.

"Protect the dodo way of life!" 

"Survival separates the dodo from the beasts!" Another shouted, staring at the formations in awe while be waved his makeshift baton in the air, seemly trying to mimic a conductor.

"Protect the Dodo way of life"~

"Prepare for the Ice Age"~

Words of encouragement bounced off the rock walls, seeping into everyone ears as the dodos oblivious to the on-lookers above them, proceeded to bustle about, trying to assemble the last bit of things.

Sid's face twitched in confusion, his eye brows arching at the mention of 'Ice Age'.

"Ice Age?" Sid echoed, his claws gripping into one of Manny's tusk as he took a steady step forward, careful not to go to close to the ledge.

Diego gave him a blank stare, "I've heard of these crackpots."

With an object clench between his beak, a dodo walked up to an old and hallow tree trunk located directly under the cliff, stocked with two yellow melons.

He placed the melon beside the others before realizing the dark shadows over him. The dodo quickly glanced upwards, noticing the the five mammals. Letting out a loud shriek, he hurriedly switched into flight mode, waving his feathers in the air as he tried to warn his friends.
