Cono wakes up to discover the ape creatures were gone! Cono rushes outside, looking left and right, hoping it hadn't missed them. It sees the apes with strange praying-mantis-like creatures. "Yes!" Cono thinks, as it rushes towards them. As it jumped, Cono realized that there was a creature in the bushes. It jumped around frantically, screeching, but none of them took notice. It saw (felt) the creature move closer, and Cono decided to try to meet it.((6))

The dragon gets up and squeezes out of the cave. Afterwards the dragon stretches his wings again and shakes his body short, he needs some movement after sleeping in the small, crowded cave. He rockets into the air and flies in the air around his temporary cave.
Rok heard a hopping sound behind him and turned around. He saw a small ball of fur hopping in his direction. He stood quietly staring at it.
"Did it see me? Is it trying to hurt me? No, he's too small. Perhaps I should try to catch it" But as he was about to jump at it, he doubted, and stood frozen while looking at the strange thing. It didnt look like any of the other creatures he had hunted, and he wasn't hungry anymore. He finally chose to relax and let it be. He didnt take his eyes off of him though, as if he thought that small furball could attack it.
((Wow, I just realized 4 people are part of the same storyline!))
Cono notices the creature seem to not care about it. What was that thing anyway? Cono had never seen anything like it before. It hopped towards the creature slowly, trying to seem friendly, to get a better look at it.

While flying Tynebris' stomach grumbles again. The body growth comes with a flaw, he needs more food to eat. He spots another deer and flies into position for an attack. He dives down it. It screams in pain from the impact and the dragon's fangs. Shortly after the bite the deer dies.
((Wow I just noticed you edited your post, I was waiting for a new one, I feel dumb now >.>))
Seeing that the creature was as curious about him as he was about it, he approched it and took a good look at it. He didnt fully understand how it could move without any legs, or arms. Suddenly, he realized the apes had been moving and he was about to lose sight of them. He looked at the furball again and ran after the apes, hoping they might lead him to a river. He looked over his shoulder to check if the creature was still following him.

Tynebris does the same as he did with the previous few meals, roast the animal. Afterwards he eats it and flies up into the air flying around and observes from above the wild animals run around, trying to analyse their behavior for future uses.
Zaxon crawls from his burrow, and screeches a bit to get the attention of the others that were still sleeping. After they were all up, they quickly dug up their food and headed back towards the apes, preparing to move westward. Meanwhile at the colony, several mantisect eggs had begun to hatch. The leader was concerned about them, because many of their parents were gone, and probably wouldn't be back until the next day. They also realy needed the food that was being carried to the sea...

Tynebris however isn't good at memorizing much fast, he would need a while to memorize patterns. Nevertheless he tries longer to memorize, but he gives up because he is quite impatient. He flies around to relax and calm down.
((Population increase rules are under changes and stages.
"Raise population by 10% using your "change" in stead of a physical characteristic. Raising population by 10% will work like this (giving random numbers for the example):
1,000 males and 2,000 females.
The difference is 1000 in gender gap. Remove the extra females or males (not really remove them, just the number for calculation): 2,000 x 0.10 = 200. Therefore, the race increases in number by 200 individuals. Any decimals (e.i. 25.6) are rounded. The number of males/females for the new individuals will be determined by this random number generator and not by the player: www.random.org/integers/"
If you were to use a stage and not a change to increase population, then population increase is 20%.
If 20% increase in population doesn't seem like much for a stage. let me know your opinion please. Rules can change since this thread is slightly experimental.
I am getting closer to the completion of the map.))
((Okay, so you are using your change (correct me if I am wrong)? Basically, this is how raising your population will work (using your population numbers in stead of example):
100 males, 200 females. "Remove" (not literally, just form calculation) the extra gender, which in this case is 100 females. I do know that in reality animals tend to have more than one mate, but to be fair in population increase in the roleplay...this is how it works. =/ ))
100+100=200. 200x0.10=20. Now, neither I nor anyone else gets to decide how many of said number is male or female, so we will use this random number generator: www.random.org/integers/.
Although, now that I am taking a look at it, I guess one would have to choose the gender kind of, so I will allow you to choose which is female and which is male: 2, 18 ))
((If you disagree with how the population increase works or anything else, please tell me. Also, I decided to spend my change on changing the mouth structure to be human and not so monkey.))
The wise, old ape cape forward and asked to the mantisects (and partly to the ape colony), "Are you ready to leave?"
((Map looks pretty good, we should decide which part of the island our characters are. Mine is watching the apes and mantisects, so I'll be wherever you are.))
(( The apes and mantisects are near the end/middle of the hillyish area to the west nearing the ocean, me and houndhunter are near but more northern towards the mountain(s) above the hills, as for everyone else please refer everyone else. (this is an educated guess may not be exact, also great map) ))
Slightly happy the bird was tailing along, Engel noticed the sun rising and feels the exhaustion of 2 days of travel with few if not any hours of rest and so he looks around desperately at the mountain closest to him and sees a small opening not big enough for and predator of him but he could fit through nicely.

Tynebris continues flying around, but he starts searching for a bigger cave, seeing that the cave he slept in his a bit too crowded for him. Nevertheless he remains in the nearby area so that in case he doesn't find a new cave he can return to the small one.
Zaxon hears the old ape asking if he was ready to go, and he replied with a yes. Zaxon and the rest of the mantisects began to move westward again. They stopped at the edge of the ape's colony to see if they were following.
