With one last bite, Sobek completely swallowed the last remnants of a sinraptor. The flesh and the organs quickly disappeared down his throat. "I don't understand why we don't split up" Buck grumbled lying nearby. "With the strength you gave me I could hunt alone, and by dividing us we would catch many more preys" Sobek cleaned his muzzle with his claws. After spent a lot of time together, the relationship between him and Buck had intensified to the point that the t-rex no longer merely followed orders but also gave advice. Very often in hunting it was he who suggested the strategies to be implemented. Sobek had been right: a relationship of fidelity between two individuals was much better than the simple one of master/servant. Of course, that didn't mean Buck had become his equal: the hierarchy was well known to both of them. Sobek knew that he was in charge and Buck knew that his duty was to serve: their difference in strength determined these roles, according to the inviolable an

"The eyes were slightly wider. They were placed on the sides of the muzzle, like those of a crocodile" "You should have told me first. Now I'll have to do all the work again" "My apologies, my lady" Under Eytucan's careful explanation, Neytiri had been embroidering the image of the Great King of the Forest for more than two months now. Unfortunately, she had only completed part of the work. Embroidering was a long and tiring job, especially with the means at his disposal. The Neanderthal textile industry was more or less on a par with the ancient Greek civilizations, so it took months of patience to get a job well done. There was a reason why in the story of Ulysses his wife Penelope had been able to deceive the suitors for so long. In addition, Neytiri was embroidering a canvas larger than three square meters; finishing by mid-autumn (six months on Eden) was considered difficult by many. Neytiri had barely managed to finish the central body, but that was the easiest part since it

Sobek watched closely as the humans dragged some crates ashore and established a base camp. He had no reason to be afraid: thanks to [Ambush] not even a thermal sensor could detect him.He noticed that humans weren't alone. Among them were some individuals with red hair who were undoubtedly Neanderthals. 'I guess they recruited them to guide them… after all these lands are almost unexplored from their point of view' he thought.His eyes fell on Ian Malcolm and his companions. He still couldn't bring himself to have met people so familiar to him. God had really played a good trick on him.However, what he wanted to know was their offensive potential. He counted one hundred men and at least double the number of weapons. Fortunately, there were no missile launchers or bazookas: they were all weapons designed to not raze a piece of forest to the ground. The maximum available was a few machine guns.After all, it would have been foolish for humans to de

The huge beast stood up on its hind legs rising to its full height. It was nearly ten meters tall and its skull alone was three times the size of Sarah. If it wanted, it could have crushed her like a bread stick. "Shoot it now!" Ian yelled at Roland. The hunter didn't hesitate and quickly pulled the trigger followed by his men. The darts crossed the clearing in a split second and hit the dinosaur's skin. Normally they would have had to stick deeply and would have had to narcotize the beast instantly. Instead they bounced off its skin as if they had hit a granite wall and fell to the ground useless. The dinosaur didn't even seem to have noticed them. It lowered its head to Sarah and let out a snort. Sarah didn't move a single muscle. Despite her fear, she still managed to think clearly. She knew that if she ran away the predator moved by its instinct would chase her; in that case she would have had no chance of escape. She had to wait until it lost interest in her on its own. The di

Jocelyne didn't know what else think, except that the hall she had just entered was extremely beautiful.It was a huge room, made of gold and white marble, with beautiful chandeliers encrusted with diamonds and sapphires. All the people inside were dressed in sumptuous and magnificent clothes. She felt like she had just entered a fairy tale palace.The only strange thing was that all the people inside the hall were masked. None of them had their faces uncovered. They were beautiful masks, of course, but it almost seemed that people wanted to hide their true identities. The women all wore the mask of a doll, some resembling porcelain dolls, some rags, some plastic, but all beautiful beyond measure. Men, on the contrary, had a mask that vaguely resembled an animal, while some even had one that even resembled a demon. Those with the demon mask, in particular, were the most beautiful of all and dressed in the most beautiful clothes.The only exceptions were her and
