dark darkfantasy fantasy paleontology

A pyromancer visits a village where strange creatures from an ancient swamp are kept as companions. 

This story incorporates real animals from the Carboniferous and Permian periods. For the most part, I have attempted to portray them in a way that is accurate to my (amatuer) understanding of the real organisms, but ultimately this is a fantasy story. They possess many traits that are idealistically speculative at best, their relationships with each other are almost always anachronistic, and some of them have traits that are outright magical. Much like when animals that live today are included in fantasy stories, they are not quite the same as the real thing! Please keep that in mind when reading.All Rights Reserved

The Cave by OlehWolansky

Five co-workers and a guide struggle with a creature, a live relic from the past and from another dimensional plane. The creature is simultaneously lizard and birdlike, while also having anthropoidic characteristics. Once upon a time, this alien race made contact with a lost human Civilization in the region. The two races initially made an alliance, but the greed of some of the humans caused a war to erupt. The discovery and cursory inspection of the cave by one of the characters results in an impromptu, amateur tour. During the journey through the cave one of the co-workers, through a combination of stubbornness, curiosity and willfulness, becomes separated. He stumbles upon a cache of interesting artifacts inside of an oddly inhuman room with alien technology. It is in these confines where he unlocks the being whose last memories of human interaction are still freshly stinging its memory. The group grapples through the tenuous caves trying to escape the creature's vengeful wrath. The ensuing mad flight from the cave to relative safety results in a battle for survival.

24 Hours In The Past (Volume 1) by Landiahazak

I'm back with a new book. This time I'm going to show you the many amazing, frightening and sometimes downright strange species that were lost to time. There are so many creatures that once roamed planet Earth, our own little oasis in the vast expanse of the desert we call the cosmos. But what were these creatures like? What would their everyday lives have been like? Well I'm here to answer those questions. In every episode we'll take a look at a day in the life of one of these creatures. Whether it be the apex predator of its environment or a small creature at the bottom of the food chain, there's never a dull moment in the lives of these amazing creatures. Note: As time passes, there's a strong possibility that my book will becomes less accurate as we discover more and more about Earth's past. But for now my book will provide the currently most accurate information we have. Also some of the creatures that are depicted in the episodes may not have been discovered in the exact location that this story takes place in, but rather in the areas around it. This is the first volume of a series I'm making, every book/season will contain 12 episodes, after that I'll take a break before continuing this prehistoric saga. Also, all of the pictures or videos belong to their respective owners.

Remnants of Prehistory - A Tribute to Durango: Wild Lands by WattaPad555

The story follows the adventure of a group of friends who ended up having to survive in a harsh place filled with prehistoric animals, trying to regroup with each other and finding the way home. Or at least, discover the truth about their fate. I was trying to create something that follows the game's (Durango: Wild Lands) actual storyline, but the main character, Jack, also has his own quest: finding his friends after being separated by the train warp that started everything. I started writing this in my free time just for fun, when I started playing DWL now about 2 years ago. Too bad it's gone... It was a great game. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Camp Cretaceous Archives At this time you will learn more about what happened on Isla Nublar and much more, this time you will learn about all the creatures that our campers managed to discover during their survival on Isla Nublar I hope you like what you will find in the Isla Nublar species archives, you probably don't know many Prehistoric Creatures found here, for the reason that you don't recognize the creatures, or because they were never mentioned by the Campers or because they were never exhibited in the park for the reason of being Classified A FACT YOU SHOULD KNOW: What you will see here will only be the archives of the prehistoric creatures of Isla Nublar. We will not cover much on the events in which the Campers found each species, we will see that topic in the series on YouTube or in the Novelized Version of the series (The creatures and events explained in this book and in the "Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous | Lost Files" series are NOT canon, about what I mean by "NOT CANON" I mean that they did not occur in the events of the original franchise of Jurassic World, but maybe some events happened, who knows... probably the Arthropleura existed in Jurassic World) I hope you enjoy this experience in meeting more prehistoric creatures never before discussed in Jurassic World, see you in the next MORE DETAILS IN THE BOOK IN GENERAL ©Andoriu - Kun
