(In the redwood forests of the Island ark…)

[player]: “Just need to find a cavern here…”

(Just then, the player notices something in the trees.)

[player]: “That’s not a Thylacoleo, is it?!”

(The player gestures the strange sound to come down from the tree - revealing the figure to be a heavily pregnant girl with a blue, feathery outfit.)

Archaeopteryx Girl: (fearfully) “Uh…h-h-h-h-hi…”

[player]: “What’s wrong?”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “I…uh…I’m afraid of humans…”

[player]: “There’s no need to be afraid. I won’t hurt you. My name is [player]. Are you lost?”

Archaeopteryx Girl: (nervously) “N-N-N-No…these redwood forests…are my home.”

[player]: “Your home? But you don’t look like any creature I’ve seen before. What kind of creature are you?”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “I am an Archaeopteryx. We are ancient bird-like creatures that once roamed the earth long ago. Our kind often lives in secluded areas like these redwood forests.”

[player]: “I see, so you’re not exactly human. I apologize if I startled you. I wasn’t expecting to come across someone like you here.”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “It’s alright. Humans are rare in these parts, but my parents have always warned me to be cautious around them. They say that some humans can be dangerous.”

[player]: “I can understand their concern. There might be a few bad apples out there, but not all humans are the same. Some of us can be kind and caring.”

Archaeopteryx Girl: (curiously) “You seem different from the humans my parents described. Why are you here in the redwood forests?”

[player]: “I’m on a quest to find a hidden cavern. I have heard rumors that it holds ancient artifacts and valuable treasures. I’ve been exploring the island for a while now, trying to uncover its secrets.”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “That sounds fascinating. I’ve always been curious about the old legends of this island. Maybe I could help you find the cavern. I know these forests quite well.”

[player]: “That would be wonderful. An Archaeopteryx’s knowledge of these woods could prove invaluable. Plus, it would be great to have some company on this journey.”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “Alright, I’ll do my best to guide you. But promise me you won’t take any of the treasures for yourself. They are part of the island’s history and should be respected.” (rubbing her belly) “Ooh…”

[player]: “Are you okay?”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “Yes, just a bit of discomfort. Being heavily pregnant can be quite tiring, but I’ll manage. Let’s continue our journey towards the cavern.”

[player]: “Of course, we’ll take it slow and make sure you’re comfortable. Your knowledge of the redwood forests will be invaluable in navigating through the dense foliage.”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your kindness. Now, let’s not waste any more time. The cavern could be just around the corner.”

(The player and the Archaeopteryx girl venture deeper into the redwood forests, following her guidance. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including treacherous terrain and hostile creatures. But with their combined skills and determination, they overcome each challenge.)

[player]: “Do you have a name?”

Archaeopteryx Girl: “My name is Lyra. And as for my little one…”

(Lyra rubs her baby bump.)
