Darkness watched from the height of a human cave, watching as the humans' constructs collected the various dinosaurs found throughout the strange place. The dark raptor, thanks to his coloration, was not collected with the others; overlooked by the humans. Something had woken him from his slumber as well...by the time he became conscious, whatever it was was gone. He sighed. He was watching all that he knew, even in this strange place, disappear. He could see Crusher, Redtooth, and others he recognized, even from so far away, hauled onto the floating caves. And he could do nothing without suffering the same fate. For the first time in a very...very long time...he was afraid. It brought back haunting memories, of when the last of his pack died to the harsh reality of the island. He was alone, for the first time in his life...and now, everything was being taken from him. Again.
The dark raptor was so involved with his thoughts, that he did not notice the arrival of another. The dull white raptor walked over to the edge as well, standing beside Darkness as they both watched the docks in the distance. "Where do you think they're going?" the raptor, identifying itself as female, asked. At this point, Darkness didn't care to ask why it was there. "I don't know..." the dark raptor growled truthfully, frowning further. "Maybe...they're going home." the female suggested, still staring off at the scene in the distance. "Such an optimistic view...allow me to ruin it. They could be going to a place even worse then this." Darkness responded, sighing. The female shrugged. "I like to believe they are going to something better...makes me wonder if I should join them." she growled, frowning. Darkness knew the feeling. "Why are you here?" the dark raptor asked, though he did not shift his gaze.
"You really don't remember a thing, do you?" the white raptor growled. Ok, now Darkness was paying attention. "Let me guess, someone I've known for a long time? Get in line." he growled irritably, sick of the fact he could remember little about his deeds in the past rubbed in his face constantly. "Touchy..." the female growled with a smirk. "More then just an acquaintance. Or, I'd like to think I am." she explained, still smirking. Darkness narrowed his eyes as he stared at the white raptor. "...Soirgii was it?" he growled after a few moments, looking back toward the docks. "Not quite..." the raptor hissed, shaking her head. "First I was dead. Then I was Soirgii. Zheja is quite the convincing character." she explained, once again smirking. Darkness grunted in acknowledgment. "So...what do I call you?" he growled after a few moments, the female's gaze shifting back to the docks. "Morrigan." she responded, the two falling silent as they watched...
In time, the ships were off. The animals would stay sedated the entire journey, which would take a few hours, the vessels much faster and effective then the makeshift pirate ships...
