Nature didn't know morality the way human beings did. In a way, that's what made humanity unique compared to the living beings around them, they weren't restricted to their basic instincts. They acted out of principles, things one should do and what one should not do. What was right, what was wrong, and why people thought the way they did. Animals in this regard were simpler creatures.
They had no such inhibitions because survival simply had no place for it. One had to do what needed to be done if they wanted to see another day. This sense of need created the natural order... and it could create living nightmares for those with the shorter end of the stick. Such was the case for the last of the Rodan line. The male had been in search for shelter alongside his mate for what felt liken months.
A thunderstorm had loomed over their heads all the while, dark grey skies painted with shades of white from the lightning strikes. With the female being pregnant, they couldn't afford to stay in the open. To make matters worse, she was going into labor and obviously couldn't go on. They did have some form of luck as she found a cave alongside a beach.
The pair landed in the cave so the female could rest and let the process run its course. The male on the other hand needed to continue the search; the beach was too close to the water. The egg would not be safe here for long. As such, he made sure she would be alright on her own before continuing to find a place for them. Eventually, he found a rather large hill.
For their situation, it was perfect. Their rather large size meant they could survey the landscape without straining themselves. All the trees around them also meant they could build a nest. He just needed to carry her and the egg back to it and they should be secure. With a sense of hope, he would go make his way back to the cave.
When he made his way back, he called out to her to tell her the news. He would never get a response from her, something he found strange until he thought about it. It was likely that she was asleep. It made sense given how much of her energy had to be spent bringing their spawn into the world. He descended back to the cave where he saw bits of eggshell... and a sense of worry began to lodge itself in his throat.
She had just given birth, there was no way the egg had hatched this early. When he turned toward the cave, he saw a hideous sea creature releasing his mate from its clutches. It had olive green scales covering its body with a darker green for its carapace. Its face was peculiarly shaped, resembling cut up fruit with beady black eyes at the sides of its face. Lastly, it had two main tentacles holding its body with multiple others hand out of its front.
His mate was covered in blood as well as a strange black substance, her body physically drained. The truth twisted something ugly inside him and he couldn't handle it. His eyes were seeing red, boiling hatred threatened to burst out of his chest, and his screech releasing all of this pierced the heavens! C-Rex's mind blared alarmed as he turned to see the charging pterodactyl. He should've been here; he should've protected them and yet he didn't... the only thing left was to avenge them!
