Slayers in Jurassic World

[Cat]

Everyone started. Anya didn’t look back and drove her dinosaur on, forcing it to sprint. She hated the idea of loss to Gabriel. He chose his dinosaur wisely, it was a relatively fast specimen, who was warmed by the sun.

Soon it was obvious that the winner of this race would be Gabriel’ or Anya’s dinosaur. Her dinosaur was smaller the Gabriels, but what wasn’t given to him in his speed, was given to him in nimblesness. Anya used his talent to slow Gabriel’s dinosaur down. She was so concerned about Gabriel, she didn’t notice Michael’s insidious attempt to stop them.

“Hey!”

She had a hard time avoiding the tree, who suddenly fell in their way. Anya frowned and looked behind her at Michael.

“Come on!”

She forced her dinosaur to climb over fallen trunk as nimbly and as it was capable. It slowed her a little bit, but there was only a small chance for others to overtake her. She ignited her staff and turned backward.

“Sober Fire Breathing”

She ignited a fallen trunk to slow down others. Reducing her opponents she forced her dino to sprint again, her staff prepared for action against anyone who would try some sneak attempt to overtake her.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #39 

Seeing the trunk in front of him, Gabriel grabbed his dinosaur tightly and than kicked the air under his feet, to propel both of them in the air with his Moon walk earning the ire of Sarah.

“You cheater!”

She yelled at him from behind, wrapping the tail of his mount with her strings.

“Using fire to slow us down? How naive!”

Yelled Ferrus on Anya as he was releasing his warhammer from it´s case on his backs.

“Fetch!”

He yelled again, as he blasted the trunk right at her.

The five of them quickly turned into one big blur of fouls and fighting, changing the race in all out brawl. And in the meantime, Eric was sitting on his mount, that was running towards the finishing line, with it´s maximal speed, slowly and steadily.

He finally crossed the line, which for him wasn´t finish yet but just a start, when the rest of the racers got there.

“See, I am the winner!”

Yelled Michael, who was carrying his mount the last few meters with his Step.

“Are you joking? I was the first one!”
Yelled Gabriel at him.

“Your´s have still it´s tail behind the line!”

“Who cares? Head is what´s counting.”

“ERIC! ERIC! ERIC! ERIC!”

Only now they realized that the spectators are cheering for their captain. Finally they looked in front of them, seeing Eric and his dreadnoughtus standing ahead. Of course the crowd was just cheering for him in a fear that he could lose his temper, but as they were in the middle of their argue, they mistook it for proclaiming him a winner.

“Wait, what? How did he got here?”

Confused Gabriel turned to the spectators.

Did he overtook us, when we were fighting?”

The Sailors were standing near the tribunes pale as death with drops of sweat on their faces. They knew, that they should tell the truth, but on the other hand...they were afraid of Eric way more than they were afraid of Michael and Gabriel.

“Well...”
Felix started

“Yeah, it was when Ferrus created that huge crater and Anya was clashing with Gabriel and…

Gabriel with Michael turned on Ferrus, while Ferrus turned on Anya

“SO IT´S YOUR FAULT!”

Meanwhile, Eric was sitting at the backs of his giant dinosaur and looked broodily. Despite everyone proclaiming him the winner. He lost...no one knew but him, but still he lost...even through he clearly had the strongest mount…he lost…

“Damn….”
He muttered for himself, looking at Gabriel, Michael and Anya, the three fastest members of his crew.

“Maybe I should learn how to speed up a little bit”
He muttered for himself.

[Cat]

Igniting of the fallen trunk was for every combatant as a signal to start with cheating and fighting. Anya didn’t have time to know about everything that happened. It was chaos. Ferrus choose to target her, Michael tried to slow down everyone around especially his brother and Sarah was helping him as she could.

She hadn’t a good day, she dodged Michael’s attack only to not react fast enough on the crater in her way. Leg of her dinosaur slipped on side of the crater and Anya must solve how to not fall with her dinosaur completely.

Delay caused by a little slip had fatal results in her place. She arrived at the finish as fourth and saw how Michael and Gabriel argued about their positions. She looked at Eric and cheering audience. She didn’t say a single word when she heard about the win of her captain. She only looked at footprints before them and she was sure, what happened.

“All right. The winner of our race is our captain! He was behind the finish line before Michael or Gabriel arrived!”

She gently smiled and pretended she didn’t know anything. After this race, there was time for a short celebration. But after it, Anya slightly frowned and evaluated caused damage to their racing circuit.

“Hey, men from my squad aren’t leaving with rest!”

She yelled at her men when they tried to leave with others.

“It’s time for renovation of our racing circuit before the weekend!”

There was a lot of work to do. There were big holes in the ground and trunks on the way. What was worse, somebody made a hole into the fence, so they needed to repair it before all their dinosaurs run away.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #40 

Eric got down from his strong yet slow mount right at the time Anya declared him a winner.

“Hmmmmm, alright, we tested it so it´s time to get back to work.”
He said bitterly as he still couldn´t stomach the fact that he didn´t even finished the race properly.

“Also since there will definitely be gambling involved I would like to put some rules on this races. Namely...no fighting among the racers, understood? Who will break this rule will be the next volunteer for the guarding duty on our ship, understood?”

With that, Eric prepared himself to leave, but then suddenly turned to Anya.

“Anya, make the repairs quick, I want you and your men back in the camp before nightfall understood?”

With that they finally left.

---

Once back in the camp, Eric went back to his duties, which consisted mainly from overseeing the training regime of his men and working on their psychological conditioning and indoctrination. Once over, he waited near the main gate for Anya return, hopefully for her he didn´t have to wait long.

Once the Scouts arrived, he addressed Anya from the shadows of a long tree, under which he was hiding for the whole time.

“Anya, I need to speak with you”

He waited until rest of her squad will go to their respective building, before continuing.

“When we sparred today, I noticed, that you are pretty fast and agile fighter.”
It probably was supposed to be compliment, but it sounded like a threat.

“Well, not as fast as Michael of course, but I think as a intro level it will be enough.”
Eric smirked grimly.

“So I decided, that starting today, I will fight with you, until I´ll learn how to be fast too.”

[Cat]

Whole 1st squad sighed when they heard about their tasks for this day. Anya understood them because nobody wanted to spend the whole day repairing something they strenuously built the whole week.

“All right, who wants can go to the camp and join the training with the rest.”

She smiled innocently. She gave them a choice, but she was sure nobody wanted to risk brainwashing from their captain.

“You will split into two groups. Group one will cover holes, the second group will repair the fence and feed our dinosaurs. I will burn excessive tree trunks down without causing a wildfire.”

All of her men hurried and as they soon find out, there wasn’t so much work they worried about. Three hours and everything was repaired so they only waited until the fire extinguished and slowly headed back to their camp.

Few meters before the camp everyone from her squad noticed Eric, who was hiding in the shadow. Anya raised her eyebrows, This behavior was everything but typical for her captain. Does he want to discuss what happened at the dinosaur race? She was puzzled, why would Eric wait for her and hiding from sights of his men?

“Yes, captain.”

She stopped and turned back to her men.

“Don’t wait for me…”

She ordered her men, who looked like they understood something. They nodded and quickly left but right before the gate all her squad started discussing something and laughed. She frowned because she had no idea what was so funny.

“About that race captain, I will not tell anyone about the real results of it, don’t worry”

She talked faster than her captain and then she regretted it. Captain wanted something else. She smiled.

“All right captain. When do we begin with it?”

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #41 

Eric was looking at Anya with unreadable expression on his face, but inside, he was standing somewhere between mild depression and discouragement.

“She knows...”
He muttered for himself, but than regained his composure once she agreed to train with him.

“Don´t mind them, they are probably jealous, that you can train with me directly”

He said and relaxed his whole body. Not like someone who wants to go for stroll, but more like a tiger before leap.

“So here is the deal, we will fight and you will show me how to move fast, understood?”

Without waiting for her answer, he jumped straight at her with his Paw strike aimed at her neck.

For next hour or so, Eric was pushing Anya around, deliberately avoiding usage of his more powerful techniques to force his body to cope with Anya´s speed and agility. It wasn´t much, but at least it was good handicap that could allow her to keep up with him and maybe gain the edge in their fight more than just once.

Once they finished, Eric realized, that they got pretty far away from the camp, so he helped Anya back on her feet.

“Alright, that´s enough for today.”
He muttered and turned to the only lights in a distance that were marking their camp.

“We should probably go back already.”
With that he led them back to the place where it all started, the tree right behind the gate.

“It was a good fight, see you tomorrow at the same time.”

He nodded at Anya and headed back to his room. As he got out of earshot. Quiet female voice addressed Anya from the palisade. Turned out that it was Sarah and her squad who had the guard duty that day.

“So...”
She smiled as she gently jumped down right next to the fire dancer.

“Alone with the captain in the woods...who would tell that he is such romantic soul.”

She smiled teasingly.

“Tell me, how was it, because the whole camp doesn´t speak about anything else than your date, since you two left. Felix and Harry started it and since than Ferrus is boasting like a crazy, that he knew it first back than when he agreed to that racing project of yours. So I want to know all the details or he will never shut up, please”

Sarah looked at Anya with sincere plea in her eyes.

[Cat]

Their training started immediately. Anya was afraid her captain would use his favorite techniques as ever, but it was a pleasant surprise when he didn’t. Anya was using her flames as one of the ways to force her captain to react and move more swiftly.

When they finished, they were far from the camp. Anya was tired, more then an hour of intensive training was exhausting, so when Eric left her before the camp she leaned against the nearest tree.

“Thank you, captain”

She muttered and rested. Her only thoughts were about how to survive her new training. So when she heard Sarah she looked at her without understanding.

“What?”

Sarah continued at her speech and Anya slowly understood what was she talking about. She frowned because she hated gossips. The fact that gossips were created by her own men angered her.

“Uhm, I have to disappoint you, Sarah”

She stopped Sarah so she couldn’t continue in her querying.

“We are only training, nothing more”

Anya finished with her rest and headed directly to her room and next few hours she planned how to punish Felix and others for their fables, but she was too tired so she only decided to raise their training load. She wanted them to be too tired for creating another gossip.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #42 

When Anya tried to explain everything to Sarah, the doctor looked shocked for a moment, before she finally was able to speak.

“Really?”
She asked.

“I mean...challenging someone to sparring just for whatever reason he currently has...is kinda Eric´s thing, but...I mean...you two looked like a good match and since that girl is unconscious for...uh...”

She made an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, you probably don´t want to hear this...Well, at least now you know what the guys are talking about.”
Sarah quickly changed subject as the situation became quite awkward, before going back to her duty.

---

Next morning, Eric woke up early. Actually much earlier than usual. Outside was still dark, when the Den Den Mushi, that was connecting them to the guard on their ship started ringing.

“Make it important.”

He growled sleepily, when he finally reached that little snail in the darkness of his room.

“There is a ship captain!”

Hendrickson, one of the guard reported enthusiastically.

“Ship? What kind of ship?”
Asked Eric still too tired to fully gasp what was going on around him.

“We don´t know yet captain, but there are a lights on horizon and they are coming from the other direction than we did so...maybe they have a way how to get away from this island.”
Suddenly, Eric was fully awake.

“How long until they´ll arrive?”

“Uhhh, hard to say...two, maybe three hours?”

Eric nodded.

“Alright, hold your position and stay on the ship. I will gather crew and head to you as fast as possible.”

With that, he broke the connection and jumped from the bed straight on his feet.

“Wake up, we have a visitors! Meeting in front of the building in ten minutes!”
He yelled loud enough to wake up everyone in the camp.

[Cat]

Eric yelling resounded through the camp. Anya opened one eye and found out it was still night. She groaned out, she was sleepy. Her body was too tired and refused to move.

„Sorry, Jack“

She muttered and rolled on the side, which forced the little dinosaur to move and wake him up. Anya slowly sat, her eyes were still more closed then opened. Her consciousness slowly came back from the realm of dreams and she grasped Eric‘s order after more than three minutes.

„Visitors?“

She was confused. Was it new training to learn them how to fight in the night? Or was it possible that someone else arrived on the island? Whatever Eric planned, she wasn‘t in a state to do it. When she finally opened doors of her room, she could hear a ruckus outside, it seemed almost everyone gathered outside.

„Really?“

She growled and went outside. She didn‘t join the rest of Slayers, instead of it, she deaded straight to the barrel with fresh cold water. She held her breath and quickly before she changed her mind she plunged her head to the water. A loud scream came out from her mouth when she straightened.

„It is icy!“

She explained her reaction and as if nothing happened, she headed to her squad.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #43 

Right after he woke them up, Eric headed outside to the cold air of their night camp, waiting for everyone else to get there. He had to admit that he was pretty impressed by the speed they attended. Despite all the respect and fear they had for him, it usually took them pretty long, before they got from their beds. But after the last few weeks it took them only few minutes to arm themselves and get ready to do their jobs…well, maybe with that Anya´s lousy scouts as the sole exception.

“Listen up everyone. I know that for majority of you it´s way too early, but try to pay attention. The guards on our ship just spotted another vessel that is getting closer to the island. Since they are approaching from the opposite direction than us, it´s safe to assume, that they aren´t simply following this route and have means to locate this island and are also capable of leaving it according their will.”
He gave them some time so that information could sink.

“We still don´t know who they are, or why are they coming to this island. As far as we know they can quite possibly be a marines, so we are going to prepare them some nice welcome party on the shore, understood?”

Eric waited for the unanimous agreement, before leading them on the march towards the shore, picking his Den Den Mushi to contact the guards on the ship.

“Hendrickson speaking.”

“We are just heading in your direction. What´s your situation?”
Asked Eric and the guy on the other side of the line started to give him full report.

“The ship is still heading in our direction captain. It´s pretty big, I would say galleon, or maybe one of the huge merchant ships, either way, the will have bigger company, than we expected.”

Eric silently sighed.

“Do you think they knows about you?”
There was a moment of silence, before Hendrickson answered.

“Don´t think so captain. We kept it dark here and they are still few hours away.”

“Alright, in that case, move the ship on the other side of the island. We don´t want to risk, that they start to fire at you in any moment, understood?”

“Yes sir.”

With that, they conversation ended, so Eric could focus his full attention on their journey and preparation. He himself would be able to get to the shore in half an hour or so, but with the large group he took with himself, it took them a full hour. Once at the cost, he positioned his people in the jungle and gentle hills around it. With five people guarding the ship and another five, together with Ferrus guarding their camp, they lacked whole squad. With two tactical squads positioned on the hills in firing positions, assault squad at his backs and Anya´s scouts...anywhere where they needed to be, Eric was sure that they can take on anything that´s coming in their direction.

[Cat]

Eric explained the situation. He was surprisingly talkative and spoke maybe more than ever before. He was obviously excited about the possibility of an upcoming fight and the rest of Slayers too. Anya smiled, she was glad for the chance to get out of this Island. There wasn’t much to do or how to entertain herself with the sole exception of dinosaur racing.

Eric led them swiftly out of the forest and then gave almost every squad their orders. Orders for her squad weren’t strictly defined, so she gathered her squad a few meters far from others.

“All right...”

She thought for a second.

“It looks like we have to do the task which we are best at”

She grinned.

“So, we must improvise. I don’t care if you climb on the trees or hide in the sand to cover captain from behind, or you will only sit down nearby and wait for your opportunity to sneak behind our enemy…. Just try to do your best. If you want something from me to say it now.”

She laughed together with her squad. Then they simply sat down behind a rock and waited. Actually, their waiting consisted of simple sleep more than anything else. This battle wasn’t sort of a battle for them to be in the first so Anya observed and waited.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #44 

After they took their positions, it was as if the time itself stopped. Several endless hours of waiting and watching the other ship slowly approaching the island as if they had all the time in the world. Luckily for them, it weren´t marines, nor another pirates, but a huge merchant ship with flag, that was unfamiliar to anyone from the crew.

As they really weren´t many good places to land besides their creek, they ended up, right in their trap. With the sails retracted and the anchor lowered, the hidden Slayers were watching as the sailors launched single boat with five men on board. Four of them looked like experienced warriors, while the last one was young, slightly overweight teenager dressed in lavish suit, completely unsuited for the jungle ahead of them.

Already jumpy from the long hours of waiting, Slayers were watching as their visitors pulled their boat on the beach as expected, the four men did all the hard work, while the boy was standing there and watching the trees.

“Are you sure, that this is the right island?”
He asked one of his bodyguards.

“It looks pretty ordinary to me.”
“Yes I am sure your majesty.”

Sighed one of his man, small yet heavily muscular man armed with two knuckle blades.

“You should be”

The young man continued arrogantly.

“My father payed you a lot of money for this.”

Another man, tall and wiry man in his forties, armed with glaive sighed.

“As you are repeating to us over and over or the last week your majesty, but don´t worry, you will have the chance to kill real dinosaur, as we promised.”

With a risen hand, Eric signalized his people to not move as the five of them were slowly walking towards the edges of the tree. Not a single Slayer moved, yet once they got closer, third guy, young and slender man with small glasses armed with twin pistols stopped them.

“Wait, something is there, between the trees.”

The muscular one frowned and pushed the young lord behind himself.

“So soon, I never saw single lizard so close to the coast.”
He reached for his weapons, but the slender one stopped him.

“No, these aren´t our pray, it´s something....”
With a stone cold face, Eric stepped out from the shadow of the trees, followed by five members of the assault squad.

“It´s us.”

He said coldly.

“Welcome to our island boys, how can we assist you?”

The young lord screamed in surprise.

“PIRATES! THEY ARE PIRATES!”

While his four hired bodyguards pulled their weapons, blade knuckles, glaive, twin pistols and huge metal ball on a chain.

“Relax, if we wanted to fight, we would introduce ourselves with bullets and not words.”

Said Eric with his massive arms folded on his chest.

“We just stucked here and are looking for a way out.”

“Is that so?”
Asked the fourth member of their group, athletic looking man in his late thirties armed with steel ball on the chain.

“Well, in that case, you are lucky, because we just happened to have eternal pose to Silver Island with us. We have some job to do, but if you promise, that you will not cause any trouble to us, you can follow us to the next island.”
The muscular one took the lead in their negotiation.

Eric nodded.

“You have my word.”

The four fighters started to relax a little, but then their charge stepped in.

“Are you completely mad or what? Don´t you see that this men are some lowly pirates or even worse...revolutionaries? This kind of scum will never enter my ship!”

Obviously seeing only six men before them gave him some false sense of security, but his bodyguards knew better than that.

„Your majesty, this...”
The gunslinger among them, who probably knew about the presence of their allies tried to warn him, but the kid continued.

“This what Sigmund?”
He asked angrily.

“Do you want to tell me, that you are afraid of this little piece of s**t? Even I could take down dozens of him in seconds...so what are you standing the get him out of my way!”

He yelled on a verge of hysteria.

Eric frowned as the four men raised their weapons.

“It´s four against six, don´t underestimate them.”

Warned the muscular guy his allies, but Eric shook his head.

“Four against one.”

He corrected them.

The noble boy, who already managed to back up behind his bodyguards started laughing.

“What? You think you can fight them alone? This four are elite hunters handpicked by my father! Single one of them is worth an army...or...”
He lowered his voice.

“Is it maybe because you are so pathetic captain that your men won´t follow you in a battle?”
Eric´s face changed into grim mask as he locked his gaze on the noble lad. This little whelp was exactly the type of person he hated the most, weak, pathetic, useless, hidden behind men who were stronger then him.

“You got it all wrong.”
Eric growled angrily.

“I didn´t gather these men to borrow their strength or to hide behind their backs.”

Said Eric as he was walking towards them.

“They gathered around me to borrow my strength for accomplishing their goals. They know I will fight for them and even die for them if necessary, that´s why they will follow me even in the hell itself. Can you say the same about your men boy?”

Paralyzed by fear the young noble watched as was Eric getting closer and closer without any interference from his four bodyguards.

“Guess you can not.”
Eric walked pass the formation of the four fighters and now stood right in front of the terrified noble. Even through that lad was a head taller than him, he was crouched and terrified so much that in his eyes it looked like if Eric towered over him like giant angry mountain.

“What´s the matter?”
Asked Eric grimly

“Didn´t you said that you can take down dozens of me in few seconds? Time to prove your words kid.”

Eric watched the young man as the boy´s eyes rolled and his body dropped on the ground unconscious.

“Hmmmmmmmm”

He was standing there for few seconds, before turning around to face the remaining four. They were standing there, still in the same position as before, completely speechless.

“Alright, will you fight me now or what?”

First one to react was the muscular guy with knuckle blades, who turned to Eric and handed him small glass bubble with comas needle in it.

“Take it and go.”

Surprised Eric raised his eyebrow.

“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, we usually work independently of each other, so we have another set...just take it and go.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Eric reached for the eternal pose and hid it in his pocked.

“And what about you?”

“We are packing everything and heading back, this thing turned in such farce that no amount of money can compensate that.”

Answered the tall guy with glaive.

“Hmmmmmmmmmmm”

Muttered Eric and with headed back with his spoil and suite of bodyguards.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have our ticked to the next island!”
He announced as he once again entered the jungle

[Cat]

Anya waited until the ship was close enough and then she turned her attention to her squad. Almost everyone was sleeping. The exceptions were Felix and Thomas who were playing cards.

“It’s time, wake them silently up”

She commanded those two and lowered herself above the closest sleeping man. She grabbed him and shook with him. He opened his mouths before his eyes and wanted to protest. Anya covered his mouths with her hand.

“Wake up, idler”

She whispered angrily. Waking others was almost with the same scenario. They all behaved like small children who didn’t want to wake up. Anya looked at the boat, which was approaching.

“Stop, who isn’t woken up will miss the fun”

She stopped their actions and looked at her men. Nobody said a word, but there was obvious tense in their posture, like if they were predators who were waiting for their prey. When they saw only five men on the beach they disappointedly sighed. Their skills didn’t seem to be useful in this fight.

They observed, how the newcomers stopped a few meters before the forrest. It was a shame they didn’t hear what they were talking about, but it was something, which forced their captain to show and talk to them.

Everything came peacefully until the moment in which young well-dressed teenager started yelling so loud, they were able to hear him. It cost Anya almost all her self-restraint to not laugh loudly and her men had the same problem. Luckily for them, the yelling teenager was silenced by fear from Eric and lost consciousness even before Eric punched him.

Few more seconds of waiting and everyone heard their captain announcement about leaving the island.

“Woke the rest quickly and silently up”

Anya gently kicked into one sleeping man. Her men grimly smiled and cooperated on waking their buddies up not in a gentle way. Anya ignored it and sat on the rock, they were hiding behind.

“What are the next orders, captain?”

She loudly asked and gave her men time to wake up enough to be capable to be able thinking.

[Mr. Moon]

Eric #45 

As the four men on the beach lifted their employer and started to carry him back to their boat, Eric smirked when Anya very loudly asked about his next orders.

“First of take the time to wake up your squad properly, some of them looks like they can barely stand on their feet.”
Sighed Eric, but than he paused as he got a better idea.

“Or, let me to wake them up for you.”
He grinned and with hands in the pockets of his pants started walking towards the scout squad.

“Alright you bunch of sleepyheads, since we just found eternal pose to the next island, it´s time to party, BUT!”

Eric grin changed into slightly maniacal smile.

“Since your bunch fell asleep during combat situation, you will either not attend, or you will serve as a waiters during the whole thing...your sergeant excluding since she tried to cover for you...”
Eric looked at Anya with a look that was telling that he knows way to well what kind of role she played in this.

“Alright, let´s go!”

Back to the camp the Slayers traveled in great mood, excited not only about the upcoming feast, but also by the prospect of leaving this island soon. Once in the camp, Eric split them into two groups. One lead by Anya was tasked with preparations of the feast including hunting and gathering of necessary supplies for their upcoming journey, while the second one was tasked with packing all their things and moving them back to the ship.

Eric included himself in the moving group as he wanted to carry Hana back to the ship personally as soon as possible.

Once they returned they started the party by deconstructing all the buildings and turning them into huge bonfire. Everyone seemed to be in high spirit. Everyone with the sole exception of Eric. Somehow despite all the accomplishments they achieved during this few weeks he couldn´t put his mind to easy. Maybe it was because he wasn´t really accustomed to long periods of peace or maybe he was simply to excited to set sail once again. Either way, he kept himself away from the main part of the feast and when given opportunity he slipped into the darkness of the jungle, returning back to the ship.

[Cat]

Eric stopped Anya, when she bent to wake the rest of her squad.

“OK?”

She wasn’t sure it is good idea. She was a little worried about her men, but Eric’s attempt to woke them up was kinder than she expected. She smiled and didn’t have any objections, even she was a little surprised she wasn’t punished with her squad. She nodded as sign of thanks and turned to her men.

“All right, let’s go!”

All Slayers were in good mood. Men from her squad didn’t comply about their punishment so Anya didn’t talk about it with them. Back in the camp, Eric put Anya in group of those who had to take care of supplies and preparation of the feast. It would be maybe a little harder to hunt dinosaurs if her squad didn’t build their dinosaur race.

“What about Jack?”

Asked Felix, when he carried one of hunted dinosaurs together with Anya.

“Jack?”

Anya was puzzled, did Felix want to eat Jack? It was strange, she grew fond of that small lizard, which was sleeping in her bed. Felix noticed her thoughts.

“I’m not asking about eating Jack! …. I was asking if we are taking him with us”

Young fire dancer was ashamed. She forgotten about Jack! She shrugged and didn’t reply to him, because she was sure about it. Should she leave Jack on the island where he belongs or should she took him with her? She used her free time to play with Jack and thinking about it, when he was too tired she let him sleep on her clothes and continued in her work.

“I decided, Jack should stay here, where he belongs”

She said to Felix and was obviously sad but sure with her decision and finished preparation for the party. She sat down and looked how was everyone finishing their tasks. Her things were moved and all buildings were almost taken to pieces. The party was slowly beginning and everyone was full of expectations for their next island. She looked around, it was already night, captain disappeared and she didn’t saw Jack anywhere even it was his usual time for small walk and food before another sleep.

“Jack?”

She was surprised she cannot see Jack, because she wanted to say goodbye to him.

“Has anyone saw Jack?”

She almost yelled and to her surprise she got answer.

“We moved him on the ship…He was laying on your things sergeant”

She frowned.

“We also brought him some food, so don’t worry about him”

His friend quickly added. Anya nodded and decided to entertain everyone with fire dancing so they could celebrate their departure properly.
