You and your brother survived one.”
    “Only because the Destroyer Warrior had laid the rifle down to have his fun with one of our females.”
    “I’ll try to take a look at them without getting too close.”
    Harmony shook her head, “That should prove to be interesting.”
    Andy shrugged as he took a water pouch off Dinah and handed it to Harmony, “This is for your head.” Andy took the other water pouch and laid it on the ground. He laid down and took his bow off his shoulder and set it next to him. He then unclipped a cutter and wrapped the leather tong on its handle around his wrist. He put his head on the water pouch and said, “Guard.” Dinah looked at him and he held both hands above his head and moved them down to his sides. Dinah went up and sniffed the air which brought a snort from the Triceratops. She came down and stretched out on the ground. She would occasionally lift her head and sniff the air.
    Harmony watched them and was surprised that Andy was asleep in less than a minute. She knew she wasn’t going to be able to sleep. She put her head on the pouch and thought about all that had happened and the next thing she felt was Andy shaking her. “Time to get up.”
    She climbed on Dinah and they moved south. She was surprised that there were numerous water holes along the path she had taken fleeing north. Dinah would smell them and lead them directly to them. Many were just small depressions with a few inches of water. She saw that Andy and Dinah were equals. Both of them brought talents to their ability to survive.
    Three weeks of travel taught her more about survival than she had ever learned in her entire life. One day Andy said, “Harmony, the Triceratops and that giant predator appear to have been trained.”
    “The giant predator is called a T-Rex.”
    “A what?”
    “It’s short for Tyrannosaurus Rex. It’s Latin for…”
    “King of all reptiles.” Harmony nodded. “It appears they have been whistle trained.” Harmony shook her head. Andy looked ahead and saw a group of six Triceratops and pulled a whistle out from under his shirt and put it in his mouth. He nudged Dinah toward them and a hundred yards away she saw his cheeks swell and then deflate. She didn’t hear a thing but the six Triceratops turned and stampeded away.
    “What is that?”
    “It’s a whistle that the first colonists to arrive found in one of the caves. Humans can’t hear it but the dinosaurs can. We blew them whenever we attacked any carnivores and they soon learned to run from it. Those two species also run from the whistle. Someone has been training them.”
    “I know there has been a migration of sorts taking place since the first day our ancestors arrived.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “The T-Rexes and Triceratops are just two of the species that are moving along the southern shore this way. There are also huge numbers of raptors and other carnivores that have been moving in the opposite direction. Some of the giant plant eaters have also made the trip.”
    “This is something the Elders will have to discuss. I don’t have enough information to know why they would be coming this way. However, I suspect it has to be the Destroyers that are training them to fear the whistle.”
    “I can’t imagine anyone else with the power to do it.”
    “How did your community survive?”
    Harmony shrugged, “We originally had some kind of handgun that fired a red beam.” It took all of Andy’s will power not to show any emotion. “They killed anything they were fired at but they eventually ran out of whatever powered them.”
    “Surely you must have had enough to last you for a very long time.”
    “Why do you say that?”
    “Because there were thousands of everything left for us by the Time Takers.”
    “Time Takers?”
    “The ones that took the original humans from the future and put them here in the distant past.”
    Harmony stared at Andy for a long moment, “Are you serious?”
    Andy sighed, “You
