But I don’t know, I won’t be a complete asshole over a tiny detail. Something like a yell of a sort. Since Persephone was yelling armageddon when the forest was burning, I made Snowdrop do something similar.

Snowdrop climbs onto Visory's face, and starts to cry. The dakotaraptor is just unconscious, but he's losing a lot of blood. One of his lungs was punctured and his wishbone was fractured, and it seems like the burns on his tail will linger for a while.

The little scorpion returns to his siblings, and the purple scorpion tries to comfort her. "Hgil Makiy Fhrew" he randomly mumbles, trying to say that he'll make it through.

In his sleep like state, Visory has a flashback. He sees himself sitting on a branch alongside his sister, and he couldn't help grinning at her. The white dakotaraptor smiles back at him, her glossy feathers reflecting the light of the sun. Then a horn goes through her back, and suddenly his dream was filled with blood.

He sees the Y-knot burning, dinosaurs dying all around him. The once pristine waters turned crimson with blood and the little flowers bending over and leaking out poison, just like Persephone had, and left Snowdrop with us in a race against death.

Snowdrop

That's right, the little one. Her tiny eyes overflowing with tears was the last thing he remembered. Where was she? Someone has to protect her, someone has to catch her if she falls

Visory's silver eyes flickered open. He sees the gray glass ceiling, the electrophorus circling in the waters above like hungry jackals. He tries to get up, but a sudden pain in his chest forces him down again. That's right, that dilophosaurus, no... thing had thrown his claw at him. He finds that he is still struggling to breath, but the pain from his lungs was nearly gone. Someone must have patched up his wounds while he was unconscious.
