Never Smile At A Crocodile

Fern has wandered away from the castle in search of items she can use for presents. The Carpathius siblings were having a birthday party soon and the gray girl has been hard at work making them gifts. As her light paws weave their way around tide pools, sharp coral, and mad hermit crabs, Fern keeps her eyes peeled for anything useful. As she nears a large pool of water, a deep bellowing sound greets her. A huge crocodile rushes out from some nearby bushes. Fern gives a startled yelp and quickly retreats, putting distance between her and the angry dinosaur. Snarling at the creature, the gray girl notes the long, sharp teeth that line the beast’s open mouth. Heart sinks as she looks at the tough skin of the crocodile wondering how she is going to make the large predator leave as it hisses its displeasure at her.
