Prehistoric Owl

|18X FEATURED · AMBYS 2024 GRAND FAVORITE!| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely. *** Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier. Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster. Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years. A teen, a starship, and Becca... Have you ever wanted to see where life first began? *** *First Draft Written: 8th grade* *The story behind the award-winning short story, Messummer!* *Includes slow-burn world-building and epic adventure in prehistoric times!*

"My legal name where I currently reside in the city of Liege, Belgium, is Gaspar Valessi. But that is not my real name. The name I was given some 30,000 years ago, when I was born in a Paleolithic settlement in the region that is now called Germany - the name my father gave me shortly after I was voided, bloody and howling, from my mother's womb - is Gon." So begins the saga of the immortal Gon, a 30,000 year-old vampire. He recounts his mortal life in prehistoric Germany alongside his male companion, Brulde, and his two wives, the Neanderthal Eyya and his Cro-Magnon mate, Nyala. It details the fearsome events that lead to his transformation from man to undying monster.

In the year 2319, humanity has barely survived for 234 years following the AI Uprising, with less than a million people remaining. Driven into the harsh deserts by the AI mechanical legions, humanity struggles to endure. The AI Empire, fractured by internal divisions, failed to completely annihilate humankind but has discovered an even greater threat beyond the solar system—the Giants, interstellar exiles from Earth’s prehistoric civilization, returning with advanced technology far beyond current capabilities. On the edge of despair and hope, a young human, Yu Wang, and his friends embark on a journey through the clash of civilizations, seeking a path to survival while uncovering the truth of the apocalypse.

Two lives are intertwined by an inexorable fate in a planet where ancient rivalries simmer under delicate alliances and secrets are buried behind millennia of shadows. Leek, the fearsome ruler of the V-clan, is a creature of both power and mystery. Even among his kind, he wears his immortality like armor, making every action with the intention of maintaining power. Despite his hard, authoritative attitude, he is tormented by glimpses of a lady he cannot identify. The mystery woman's dreams become more vivid, more intense. He wakes up one night in a cold sweat, his chamber dark. A shadow hangs in the corner, then vanishes as he lights a candle. An owl perches outside his window, blazing eyes riveted on him. It drops a piece of parchment before dissipating into the night. Leek’s blood runs cold. Who sent the note? Though the sender remains anonymous, Leek’s mind immediately goes to his rival, Kael, the ambitious heir of the Woo Lee clan. Kael has long sought to undermine him, and claiming the heiress would give him the leverage he needs to bring the V-clan to its knees.

In a world where emotions are the currency of power, fear grants unimaginable abilities, but hate corrodes even the strongest. The path to ultimate power lies not in fear or hate, but in desire, a dangerous force born from their conflict. This is the story of those who walk the line between fear and hate, seeking to harness the power of desire, a force that can both destroy and create. But Would you believe me if I say the origin of these abilities isn't from god but a lonely reader?

Lukas Rhoan, a man whose life was filled with struggle and monotony, meets an untimely end only to awaken in a strange and ancient world. To his astonishment, he finds himself reborn not as a man but as a pup of the Canis Dominator—a prehistoric apex predator said to rival even the Smilodon Populator in size and power. Set in the Cenozoic Era, Quaternary Period, Pleistocene Epoch, Lukas must adapt quickly to survive in a brutal world where every day is a battle against nature, predators, and the relentless march of time. As a juvenile, he is small and vulnerable but armed with the extraordinary potential of his species: strength, speed, intelligence, and a bite force capable of breaking bone. Driven by human memories and instincts, Lukas navigates this unforgiving landscape, hunting for food, learning the ways of his new body, and grappling with the isolation of being the only creature in the prehistoric wilderness with the mind of a man. Along the way, he encounters other fearsome creatures—mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and ancient humans—testing his instincts and his resolve. But the Canis Dominator is no ordinary predator. With each challenge, Lukas grows stronger, evolving into the pinnacle of survival. His journey is not just about adapting to a new form—it’s about discovering what it means to live fully in a world where survival is earned, not given. As Lukas embraces his destiny as the ultimate predator, he begins to question: Was he reborn by chance, or is there a greater purpose behind his transformation into the king of the Pleistocene?

The forest was quiet, and everything was still. The gentle northern wind sweeping through the trees and dried leaves brought nothing but a sense of foreboding and despair as Raphael crawled into his cave and huddled against the dirt stained walls. Stifling the moan of anguish that escaped his mouth, he pressed hard on the cut below his ribs. The blood stopped flowing briefly, as he dug some sticky clay from underneath the roots of the oak tree and applied it to his injury. It stopped the blood flow instantly. He was aware of the giant slash across his back, but he was too exhausted to attend to it. 'Later' he thought to himself, leaning back as he shut his eyes. He was lucky to have escaped with his life. "They will pay for this. I will get my revenge soon enough," he muttered to himself as the owl perched on the branch of the oak tree above hooted ominously. He had become his neighbour for the past few weeks, his hooting always reminding him that he may not be the only living thing in the forest. Other days, the silence was impregnable, the eerie quiet sending chills down his spine. As he slowly started to slip into unconsciousness, he heard a dull thud on the dirt outside the cave, too faint for a normal person to hear. But Raphael was no ordinary person. Crouching behind the roots of the tree, he waited patiently as the sniffing began. He made a silent prayer, to no one in particular as he saw the red eyes right outside his cave. They locked eyes with each other, and the enormous wolf bared his canines at him, before howling into the night. All around the forest, several other howls answered, as the earth began to tremble under the numerous paws thundering above it. 'Here we go again,' he thought to himself.

It was the tale of the 5 Birds, celestial beings created to safeguard the realms and maintain the balance of nature. These five majestic creatures were revered and feared, their power unmatched and their wisdom boundless. • Divine Owl Sagea, soared above the highest peaks, her golden wings casting a protective shadow over the lands below. She embodied courage and strength, always the first to confront any threat to their world. She was the leader of the 5 celestial birds. • Nocturne, the Raven of Secrets, dwelled in the shadows, his black feathers blending with the night. Keeper of ancient knowledge and hidden truths, he was a master of dark magic, using his powers to protect the innocent and punish the wicked. • Zephyra, the Falcon of Speed, raced with the wind, her silver feathers shimmering in the sunlight. She was swift and agile, a messenger of the gods and a symbol of freedom, her presence a harbinger of hope. • Seraphina, the Swan of Serenity, glided gracefully over tranquil waters, her pure white feathers reflecting her inner peace. She brought harmony and healing, soothing the hearts of those in turmoil and restoring balance to the land. • Pyra, the Phoenix of Rebirth, burned with an eternal flame, his fiery plumage a beacon of renewal and transformation. From the ashes of destruction, he rose again and again, a testament to the power of resilience and the promise of a new beginning.
