"Keep up," Grunted Skydiver, a Griffon. He was up in the sky, searching for a safe place for his eggs- The last of his kind.

  "I'm trying.." Fern said weakly. "Without Mosic, it's hard.."

"There are only 5 more eggs. I promised Lisic and Frosthunter their kids would be safe."

  Skydiver flew down to a tree, watching Fern. "Which egg is yours?" He asked. Fern looked down at her eggs, making sure none fell out of her mouth. 2 were in her left head, 2 in her right head, and one in her middle head.

  "This one," She held up her furry, middle head. The egg she held up was green, with swirls of brown and white mixing in. Skydiver studied it for a long moment.

  "What are you going to name it?"

"Well, if it's a girl, Cloudchaser." 

  Skydiver waited for the boy name, but Fern started to walk again.

"And if it's a boy...?" He started for her.

  "Oh, Skydiver," Fern said. "My boy was killed."

Skydiver sighed. "Just in case it's a boy, what would you name it?"

  Fern just kept on walking, her cream colored fur looking darker than usual. "I would have named the boy-"

  Suddenly, 5 hunter came charging from all sides. Fern was surrounded. Skydiver growled.

They're going to hunt us all into extinction!

  Skydiver dived from his tree, grabbing 2 hunters that were blocking Fern's way. "Fern, GO!"

She didn't hesitate, and sprinted out of sight, under the cover of the big, leafy trees. A hunter grabbed something big and rubbery out of his pocket, and threw it at Skydiver. It clung to him, and he roared with fury. Another hunter grabbed the rubbery substance and threw it at him.

  Skydiver accidentally let go of the 2 hunters he was holding, and soon they all covered him with the rubber. He was glued to the ground.

  2 hunters grabbed an arrow from their back, and climbed onto Skydiver. He was squirming, so it was a bit hard to get on the very top. They slowly went up, and up, getting to their destination.

  Skydiver managed to squirm harder, and a hunter lost his grip and fell off. The second hunter got to his destination, and swiftly stabbed his arrow into Skydiver's back, which somehow got to his heart.

  Skydiver closed his eyes.

    Live freely, my kids.

  Fern ran. That was all she could do at this point. Run. She reached a lake, but she couldn't dive in with eggs. She would weigh them down, or crush them. Besides, she didn't like the water much, and wasn't a great swimmer.

  Suddenly, 3 hunters came into view, and surrounded Fern, just like earlier. She looked to the lake, then the hunters. She realized what she would do.

  "Heyyy, lets play a game!" Fern said, though she knew the hunters couldn't understand her.

"Catch the Chimera!"

  The hunters looked at each other for a brief moment, and squeaked things like,"Mishoof!" and "Wakamee?"

While they were distracted for those few seconds, Fern gently put the eggs in, one by one, and sprinted away.

  "Come on, slow pokes! Catch me!" She went back into the trees, but she knew what would happen to her. Her fate was inevitable. She glanced back just for a moment, and watched her baby boy drift away.

  Goodbye.. Goodbye, my Marcoal

YUS FINISHED!!! What did you think? And yes, I know, it was a bit confusing, I ish sorry. But i've been working on what the kids look like. And, if you haven't figured it out already, Marcoal is what she would name her baby if it were a boy.

 Also, Chimeras in this book don't have wings. They also only use their head in the middle to talk.Tell me if you need clarification anytime, because i'd be happy to fix things.
