Realization (PaleoStories)

The Sun was slowly reaching the sea . A hot and tiring day , was coming to its end . This Ornithocheirus has been flying for hours . Her muscles were burning from the constant movement , her vision became blurry and her mouth was dry . She needed to get some rest . On the vast ocean underneath , there was a small island . No trees were there , no plant and no animal . Just .. sand . She landed there . The soft and dry sand , was the perfect place for a long night sleep . As always , she looked around a bit , to ensure that none is going to bother her . She paused . There was something . A black spot . It was moving . Is it the wind on some bushes ? Is it an animal ? The distance between the Pterosaur and that object was big , but she decided to go and check anyway . The vision got blurrier , the feet were trembling . Her body was begging her to stop moving , but she continued . The thoughts started to get unclear . Everything seemed to be a dream or a vision , but it was real . She reached the object . The view was dull and so she shaked her head to clear her vision . And then she saw it . It was just like her . The same color , the same size . But .. it was still . The wind was lifting up some pieces of the fur . They landed on the sand . She shaked her head again . She couldn't tell them apart .
