Jurassic World: Reign (Completed)

Chapter 23: Freedom

It's been a week after that night. They called it "The Night of Voices". The reason why is because the people finally had their voice heard. Biosyn was exposed by Ramsay and is currently under the watchful eye of the law and the valley was turned into a sanctuary for the captured animals.

People like George were put into custody and were given a life sentence. Henry's work was taken by the authorities for further investigation, and Ramsay fought tooth and nail to get the government's approval to keep every one of the captured animals alive, including Alice.

It was slow, but the forest was recovering. The Whistleblowers planted seeds every day in the hopes that the trees may rise once more. Not all the trees were destroyed during the fire, though. Many of the animals migrated to the south side of the Biosyn Valley, especially the herbivores since it was one of the only places at the moment where plants were still alive.

Deep in the south side, Terry was peacefully enjoying a sleep. He's been so stressed ever since he was taken here, it was nice to get a rest once in a while. The sun was slowly rising as it's gleam tore through the peaks of the mountains surrounding the valley.

Once the sun was up, the glare of the light was enough to make the Tyrant King open his eyes. He loved a good morning like this. The sun was shining as bright as it could, and to him, the valley felt more lively. Back then he barely came across any dinosaurs since they were at different parts of the valley. But now, he almost feels like he was back in his home. Almost.

Terry let out a loud yawn as he rose from his resting place. He lived at the front of one of the gates used to enter the mine, but now, with nobody using it, he's turned it into his temporary territory.

He watched as a flock of Gallimimus ran near his territory. They weren't scared or anything, they were simply playing. Terry missed how calm his days can be, maybe now with Genesis and Gideon gone, he'll finally get some silence. It's all he really wants.

It's hard to believe that such a massive dinosaur would want such a quiet life, but after what Terry has been through, if anyone knew what he's had to fight against, they wouldn't blame him for wanting a quiet life. All he really wants is his family and that's it.

Being a Tyrannosaurus, he commands attention. But he never really liked it. He's made many enemies just by existing because they always target him. He doesn't want to admit it, but due to his age, he was getting slower. It's not obvious, but he has noticed it for a while. He's past the age that a Cretaceous Tyrannosaurus would be at, all the more reason why he wants to be left alone with his family and nothing else.

He took a stroll around the forest. He didn't need to eat at the moment, animals aren't like humans, they don't have to eat everyday. A large animal like Terry could probably go a week without a single drop of meat in his belly.

The Tyrant went over to a nearby pond. There were many herbivores there but there were also some carnivores. And the herbivores didn't try to make them leave or anything because they too, knew that these predators weren't hungry. They just came here to drink.

Terry lowered his head and started to drink from the pond. He's not sure where he'll go from here, but as of right now, he needs to rest for at least a few more weeks. Before he was captured by Biosyn, all he did was walk. At this point, he's been dying for calm days like these.

Just as Terry got done drinking, another predator came over to drink and stood right beside him. Like Terry, everything has been better for her ever since Genesis and Gideon died. It can even be said that everyone's life in the valley was better without those two. They were a nuisance that needed to be eradicated, it just took a while before they finally bit the dust.
