Tyrants Chapter 10: A Prodigy

Part 10: A hunt gone right

Many days passed after Tyrance’s failed hunt. Tyranak had trained Tyrance with haste and precision since then, teaching him to stay down-wind, to be quiet, and many other things. Tyranak believed that Tyrance was his only child who could truly take up the mantle, and rule North-America the way it was meant to be. He believed he had been trained enough to go on another hunt; Tyranak bellowed for Tyrance to follow him. When Tyrance caught up to his father, they were in another forest, sheltered from the golden rays of the sun.

Tyranak chirped that it was time for Tyrance to hunt on his own, he would not be helping him on this hunt. With this, his father walked off into the distance. Tyrance knew his father would be watching him, and was determined to do his best. The young Tyrant King trekked down the forest, ran through a small cave, and finally smashed through a plain before finally reaching the high-ground above a herd of Anatotitan.

Tyrance watched from a close distance above, he awaited for the perfect moment to alert the herd. Tyrance, using his eagle-like vision noticed that the herd had placed themselves in-between a long streaming river, and a conifer-forest. Tyrance could use these terrains to dissuade and confuse one of the duck-bills. The time was now, Tyrance lifted up his forty-three foot long body and bellowed his loudest bellow, which of course terrified the anatotitan. The herd instantly began running in the opposite direction of Tyrance, they feared him greatly.

Tyrance dashed off against his prey, holding back no speed in his hunting prowess. The anatotitan ran in various directions, but maintaining a herd-wall, blocked Tyrance from getting one. However Tyrance was prepared for this, Tyranak had taught him to patiently chase after them, and soon enough one would stray away. Tyrance did just that, bellowing during his run to scare off the potential prey.

After two minutes of pure running, Tyrance began to feel weary. He bellowed one final time, and the herd still did not move, this hunt could be a failure. Tyrance stopped running, he looked at the herd one final time as the heat of day blurred the air, creating a hazy mist. Tyrance looked ahead one final time, and finally, a anatotitan broke from the herd, this was his chance.

Tyrance took off with raptor like speeds, stomping after the stray duck-bill. The anatotitan ran for it’s life, bringing Tyrance through a rocky canyon, around a stream, through a waterfall before finally making it into a conifer-forest.

Tyrance’s will didn’t break at all as he slowed down his run and strategically followed the duck-bill, he wasn’t going to trip one a log this time. Even though Tyrance couldn’t see the beast, his nose could, and his nose was the only thing keeping this hunt alive as the thick branches of the conifer’s and leaves of tall grass blocked Tyrance’s vision.

Tyrance began to get mad, he bellowed a bellow filled with pure rage and rammed straight through log blockade. Finally, the duck-bill was in sight again, and this time he was not going to lose it. The anatotitan ran with all it’s might through the forest, but sadly it was not trained for this terrain, and it stumbled on every turn while Tyrance pressed forward.

Tyrance smashed after the duck-bill in hot pursuit as his prey was stabbed by sharp conifer branches, it wasn’t going to survive. Tyrance smashed a log and rammed through a branch as his inner Tyrant King shined greatly, he wasn’t going to be stopped. The duck-bill made his final mistake, and tripped over a log in it’s weariness.

Tyrance stomped straight over to the beast and instantly clamped his jaws around it’s neck, and crushed it, with no mercy. Tyrance, the Tyrant King had finally achieved a hunt, and earned his meal. Yet, he didn’t dig into the flesh, instead he lifted up the body with his massive jaw muscles and began a trek back to his father, to prove to him that he succeeded.

It was a supreme struggle, but Tyrance proved himself to his father by dropping the dead anatotitan right in-front of him. Tyranak stared at the carcass, it almost looked as though a tear fell down his jaw before he let out a triumphant bellow alerting all surrounding creatures that Tyrance was aa true Tyrant King.
