History: I am relatively new to Dinotopia. I've been living on the island for
about a year now. I came here by way of a sea storm that deposited my sister and
I on the Dragonfly Coast, not too far from Sauropolis. the people there were
very gracious and my sister and I grew to love Dinotopia as if we had lived here
our whole lives. Boss was the first being we met here...a saurian Achelousaurus.
He found my sister and I while we were still unconscious and helped us by
staying with us until we woke up and then carrying us to Sauropolis on his back.
It seemed like a dream at first, but after we fully recovered in Sauropolis, we
were told everything about Dinotopia from a native nurse there named Nicoletta.
She of course was human and we stayed with her for the next month while we
learned the ways and customs of Dinotopia. after a month of classes and long
talks with Nicoletta we then met with the mayor of Sauropolis and he deemed us
fit to leave and live on our own in any area of Dinotopia we wanted. Nicoletta and I had become very close so I
wanted to stay in Sauropolis with her, but my sister wanted to go to Waterfall
City. being a dancer and singer, she had heard of the love, respect and nurture
they had for the arts there and decided to go and study. she now lives in the
musicians quarter there. we still keep in touch and I visit her as often as I
can.
for a while, Nicoletta and I lived in Sauropolis and I learned the art of
healing and helped her in her nursing duties but about 4 months ago her father
got seriously ill and could not leave his home. Nicoletta and I traveled to
Thermala to be with him and try to either heal him or make his last days as
comfortable as possible. fortunately, we were able to heal him and I am happy to
report that he is still doing well, but the sickness he had was a wakeup call
for Nicoletta and she decided that she could not go back to Sauropolis. she did
not want to be that far away from her father in case he came down with the
sickness again. since I love and support her I stayed as well, and we have now
made a home for ourselves here in Thermala. neither Nicoletta nor myself has a
saurian life partner yet, however we both have many saurian friends, Boss still
being my first and greatest. I look forward to meeting new friends here in
Dinotopia and can't wait to meet you all.
