  1. Long, long, long ago, there were dinosaurs and saber tooth tigers, animals that are mostly extinct today. There was one little dinosaur Ivory, she was small for her age but she didn’t let that stop her. She loved to play, she was from a dry land, Coral Canyons and from food shortage her family had to move. She has a mother and a sister, her father died in a battle trying protect his family, he won the battle but his wounds were to severe. A few years later everything is good nothing much has happened, just a few new dinosaurs came to the land Mt. Shiveer. Of course Ivory was excited about that, not many dinosaurs live in Mt. Shiveer because it is so cold. Ivory became used to it though, the coldness didn’t stop her. One day, something happened a huge storm came it killed most of the animals and Ivory and her mom and sister got split up. So Ivory decided to search for her mom and sister. Not realizing her mom was in Mt. Shiveer she began her journey to find her mom. Her sister died in the storm. She went to Crystal Sands, Saperia, even Coral Canyons. Ivory gave up hope after a while. She began to walk home. She got home and saw her mom in the huge piece of ice… Ivory was devastated; she touched her hand to the ice as tears streamed down her face. Eventually, she got better. After her mom died Ivory saw very few dinosaurs again not knowing how many were still even alive but she still had her friend Molly. After her mom died Ivoriee had a good life, there was plenty of food and water to live off of, and she had her best friend to live with. Ivoriee got older and older… and older. After living her life she wasn’t scared of death. She was ready to go be with her mom.

  2. There once was a dinosaur called Rose. She loved to play River Race and was always with one of her buddies. One day , when Rose went outside she saw a big fat bug! She was scared because it was squirting out some type of weird substance! What could she do? She was only a child. So she ran to her mom and dad and told them about the rather weird insect. They tried to tell the mayor but it was too late. Now the only thing to do was to hope for the best. She ran to her boyfriend and held onto him for the last few minutes of their lives. She told him that she wouldn't forget him when she went to Heaven if God chose for her to go to Heaven. They kissed each other goodbye and disappeared from Jamaa forever. No one knows what happened after that but many scientists have discovered bunches of dinosaur bones and one pair of dinosaurs clinging on to each other like they would never let go.
    The End

  3. Long ago, many years before the tigers and wolves ruled Jamaa, there were those much larger and fiercer than them. Scaly reptiles, with heads as large as 2 wolves stomped around Jamaa, it was the time of the Dinosaurs. Back then, much of Jamaa was covered in water, monstorous liopleurodons ruled the seas while the gentle fish-eating plesiosaurs rode along the steady waves.
    Dinosaurs were ruthless killers, brutes that knew nothing but hunting and fighting, all they knew was hunger and anger. They're emotions formed dark clouds around Jamaa, twisting and surging into the phantoms we know today, Mira's tears... were not the first phantoms.
    They whispered into the ears and dreams of the dinosaurs that night, telling them unbelievable things that only a fool could believe, but the dinosaurs... didn't have large brains to know that what they were hearing were lies.
    The following morning the land and sea were at war, waves slammed against the rock and lava spewed from volcanoes, dinosaurs everywhere were clashing violently with each other, ripping apart scales and thundering roars echoed through the dark skies. Mosasaurs and lionpluerodons ripped each other limb from limb, staining the sea's red. Little plesiosaurs didn't stand a chance against the raging monsters of the deep. This is where our story begins... a young plesiosaur didn't succumb to the phantoms, his heart was protected with gold and his soul as free as the blue sky. He swam for days trying to get away from the horror that ripped apart his home,the water had become colder, chilling him to the bone. He swam beneath a small passageway, his fins locked up and he fell asleep as the ice froze around him. Our little plesiosaur, however in pain, managed to save himself from the phantoms, for he knew being stung by ice... is nothing like being stung by a phantom. The world around him changed drastically, the oceans retreated and made land for the 7 realms of Jamaa, dinosaurs were destroyed by the phantoms. The plesiosaurs body lies in Shiveer, where he fights the cold to stay alive, never giving up, never listening to the phantoms. That plesiosaur, is the true picture of hope.

  4. Long ago, millions of years before the wolves ruled jamaa..
    There was a dinosaur named Jackie, there she saw it the moon leaf. She was looking for this leaf for many years (even though it was the thing that kept phantoms alive) she reached for it, almost touching it, but suddenly... phantoms appeared cornering her! Jackie said "Noo! i just want the leaf!" the phantoms sat there.. 1 phantoms said "TOO BAD YOU AIN'T GETTIN' IT!" The dinosaur stood on her hind legs and grabbed for it, but the phantoms were to fast they froze her forever with they're great powers, never to be seen again.... The phantoms saw the hole and smushed her in there... she moved a little.

    The days and nights seemed to past fast.. hungry and tired, tired of trying... Death was awaiting her arrival... and there she saw it. Her life flashed before her eyes, when she was a baby dino up until now. She tried hard... but still no hope. Then the brightist spark of light appeared.. and then there layed her body in the cold hard ice, of Mt.shiveer...

    The end! hoped u liked it!

  5. ~The Last Dinosaur~
    Long, long ago in Jamaa, before the wolves and animals of all sorts ruled, another creature was dominant. Dinosaurs. Colossal reptilian creatures such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Plesiosaurus. these creatures were massive and had the physique of lizards and such. their heads held small, instinctual, and not very smart brains. Some were herbivorous or some were carnivorous. 
    But there was one plesiosaurus, a dinosaur that swam in the deep blue ocean, who was smarter than the others. his mind was not tinted by evil phantoms or the instinct to kill.                                                                                                                                                                             This dinosaur sensed things, things no other would know of until they happened. 
    He knew the era of the dinosaurs was soon to end. The volcano behind the Temple of Zios was spewing black smoke and lava seemed about to pour from its rocky peak He had a plan, a plan to escape this disaster and be the last dinosaur of Jamaa.
    ~~~~                   
    The next day he packed some fish and and herbs in a large palm leaf as a sort of tote bag. This dinosaur had no friends, the other dinosaurs were cruel and nasty to nice, intelligent dinosaurs like him, so luckily he had nobody to take with him.
     He set out, swimming through a chilly river that led from the Crystal Sands, his home, to Mt. Shiveer. The river got colder and colder as he paddled nearer to a cave in Mt. Shiveer where said river led to.
    Along the way he saw other dinosaurs bathing in the river and lying stretched out in the sun, as if nothing was going to happen. But he knew. He knew the era of the great dinosaurs was going to end. 
    ~~~~
    As he arrived in the warm hot spring area of Mt. Shiveer,  it started. Everything around him seemed to be on fire or covered with ash as the volcano behind Zios exploded and shot flaming ash everywhere over Jamaa.
    This volcano was huge, and when it did erupt, it was a disaster to all of Jamaa. The only safe places were in caves and underground. Our friend used this to his advantage.
    Seeing an opening to a small cave next to the hot springs, he desperately swam with all his might to the entrance. He tried to avoid the embers falling from the sky, but his attempts were futile and in return he got burned where the embers touched him. 
    He reached the entrance to the small cave and looked back to see the world being destroyed around him. It was cold. Very, very cold in this cave. The plesiosaurus laid in the small water puddle that formed in the bottom of the cave, thinking death would soon  be upon him.
    ~~~~
    This dinosaur stayed in that cave and watched the world of Jamaa go into its Ice Age, his hunger and thirst depending on only fish and cave water. The plesiosaurus felt himself getting colder and colder until he thought his blood was being frozen. After a while of being at a subzero temperature, He realized, he was literally frozen. He didn't know how, but he was still breathing  and could move his eyes. But all of his body was imprisoned in the ice. He couldn't move and his food pack was flat on the ground below him, also frozen in the ice. He felt hunger and death creeping up upon him. He couldn't move, he couldn't eat, he was just.. there.
    ~~~~
    ~Epilogue~:
    In the new world of Jamaa, animals came to bathe in the hot springs. They always look at the plesiosaurus frozen in the ice and wonder how he got there. They think he was on a brave quest and somehow got there, or fell asleep and woke up frozen, the jamaasian animals had many fables about this dinosaur.
    Some think of him as a picture of bravery and determination, for they learned it from their fables. Some say he is still alive, Some say that they see his eyes blink at them. They think he is still alive.

  6. I gasped as I drowned in the water as the icy water dragged me under.
    " Mother!", i cried out. But my mother wouldn't turn around. I was shunned, or banned to be looked at or talked to. I did a forbidden thing: exploring the ocean alone. There were hidden dangers and excitement! Oh how I longed to live in the ocean and not in a lake! The lake was boring! So i go exploring one day and I get shunned. I am called the Ice Jewel. My real name is Julie. I couldn't fight the current anymore. I stopped struggling and sank deep down. I thought i saw Mira and Zios leading the way to a safe place. I swam up the path then stopped. I couldn't move! My flippers were frozen and I tried to get loose. The ice started surrounding me and i went numb. I could look around and breathe, but what would i eat? I can't hunt if in frozen solid! I heard a voice saying:we will feed you until it is time to get free, then you can live out your destiny. The voice faded away and I relaxed. I would live out my destiny, even if I have to wait forever. As time passed, Julies moment never came. She grew and stretched until she was showing by a hot spring in Mt.Shiver. Many people wondered how Julie came to be there. Julie wails out at night, hoping someone will save her. Many people have heard the call but have ran off. If you hear the call, save Julie. The Ice Jewel needs us!
