    I glanced at my computer as I was petting my cat, I was wondering when this bird would hatch. It should not take that long. I stared at my screen, I was alone online in Ark. I was really hoping we wouldn’t get raided while I was on because I didn’t know much at the moment, but I think I could fight off stuff.
    Rubbing my shoulder, I looked up and noticed one of my tribe members logged in. He was pretty quiet, didn’t say much and I had no clue how to get him to talk to me. His username was an interesting one. He was pretty knowledgeable of the game, I was happy to have him online. I think the last time we talked we were going to go and grab some wyvern eggs or what we like to call them ‘Wiverns’ it’s a funny way to say it. But I always thought he was adorable when he said it. 
    ‘Hello’ I typed in Tribe chat.
    ‘Hi.’ He replied. 
    ‘Soo are we going to go and get the wyverns?’ I messaged and picked up the half incubated egg, my patience wore down waiting on the egg. I set my cat on my floor and he promptly jumped up on my bed and curled up going back to sleep.
    ‘Sure.’ Always simple replies, I watched his character jump up on his wyvern named Norbert. 
    I moved my character to jump on top of Pyro my Wyvern. Without a word Ares flew off towards the wyvern trench. I quickly followed behind him, I had learned a while ago that I needed to be quick to keep up with Ares.
    This game was beautiful, and would always have a special place in my heart. After all, it's even better on the computer. So awesome graphics. 
    “So,” I said in voice chat, “How was your day.”
    “It was fine.” He muttered through the mic. 
    “Oh good.” I chimed back. 
    We came up to the Trench and looked around, Hoping to find some decent level eggs. I paused before flying in so that I wouldn’t disturb any of the wild wyverns that would chase after you in an instance. 
    “What’s the plan?” I asked.
    “Grab all, but don’t follow me if you don’t think you can keep up.” I heard a chuckle in his voice as I watched him fly into the trench.

“Fuck!” I heard him yell through the mic, “fuck, fuck, fuck. Vel can you go grab my wyvern?”
    I watched as his death crossed my screen in red, I grimaced. “Eh sure where were you?” 
    “I was at the fucking enterance, this shitty game mechanics.” his voice went quiet. I frowned and headed towards the fire wyvern entrance. I saw Norbert passively waiting in the air, I whistled for him and made my way out of the cave.
