noise went inside the top yurt, with red blood flowing down. As Velociraptors pillaged the
village, the Ibex watched. Not daring to stop the rampage, it went closer to get a better look,
turning away and neighing.
The Ibex trotted slowly towards the mountains, too scared by the evil creatures to move fast.
As it neared the mountains, it glanced at the cold stone-mountain face. As the animal stared at it,
the stone face mysteriously spoke,
“Ibex, stop cowering, for you must stop those Velociraptors, or else you will die like those
humans!” As the bewildered animal slowly nodded his head, the stone stuck a smile onto it’s face,
turning to rock again.
The sun was ember, the plains of the Gobi desert frozen-still when a great pounding noise
broke the silence. The army of animals proceeded, heavily armed with horns, claws, and speed.
Another sound echoed through the empty valley and instantly stopped. Quickly, a weary-looking
Rulaanbaatar slipped down from his horse. He spoke to the animals sadly, talking all about his
peoples’ death, and that he wanted the animals to reunite against the raptors.
As he spoke, a wild tremor shook the valley. The sturdy animals pranced forward towards the
tremor, when suddenly a great fault line cracked open. A wall of vast green emerald trees sprouted
out from below, growing at lightning speed.
“Boom” as the aftershock shook off, miniature silhouettes gathered up the fault line.
Stumbling, the Velociraptors scrambled down the hill. Brandishing their sharp sickle claws, the
angered Velociraptors viciously lashed at the animals, rendering any sights of attack.
“Quick! Attack” yelled the Ibex, quickly pounding an attacking Velociraptor. However,
another tremor had started. As fallen bits of ice dunes fell onto the Velociraptors, some of the
mountains began to collapse. Desperate not to fall, one mountain shouted to the Ibex.
“Go to the main mountain! For you shall see an orb there, beware…” and instantly, it
collapsed. Taunted, the Ibex immediately pranced into the valley, speaking to the animals about
the mountain’s message. Wasting no time, the animals very carefully climb up to the cliffs.
“Destroy those animals” spitted the Velociraptors, as they scrambled up the mountain, but
unexpectedly, an immense orb of light spun over the animals head. The spirit of the mountains
came to rescue its citizens. As the orb rotated midair, it created a mighty avalanche of snow and
rock, pushing the Velociraptors towards the wall of trees, crumbling them into bone and flesh. But
suddenly, the remaining mountains began to tremble and move. When bam! The mountains had
collided to each other, burying the raptors inside, moving the horizon just like it was before. And
with that, all went silent.
