Through Time's Maelstrom

As they tumbled through the distorted canvas of time, fists met fist in a relentless dance of defiance. Each blow crackled with raw power, echoing across the fractured dimensions. But fate, a fickle mistress, had other plans. With a bone-jarring impact, they slammed into the churning waters of a prehistoric river, swallowed whole by its emerald embrace.

Emerging, gasping, onto the pebbled shore, the warrior sputtered, coughing riverweed. The Son of Time Father, ageless and unmarred, stood across the rippling expanse, an ethereal specter poised for the next round. Yet, the air thrummed with a new tension, a different hunger.

From the verdant thicket, shadows surged into existence. Giants with bone-plated armor and leathery hides, bellows ripping through the air like primal screams. Dinosaurs, magnificent and monstrous, ruled this forgotten realm. A T-Rex, king of the lizards, lumbered into view, its jaws gaping like a shattered tomb.

The warrior, sword clutched tight, danced away from a snapping Velociraptor, its talons hissing against his leather cuirass. The Son of Time Father, nimble as a gazelle, weaved through the towering conifers, a fleeting silver mirage dodging a Triceratops's horned charge.

Suddenly, the battlefield shifted. With a guttural roar, a Stegosaurus, its back bristling with bony plates, stormed towards the warrior. He met its charge head-on, his blade singing as it deflected the spiked club tail. Sparks flew, a brief symphony of steel against scaled bone.

Meanwhile, the Son of Time Father, nimble as a desert viper, leaped onto the lumbering T-Rex's back. His fingers danced, tracing arcane symbols in the air, a shimmering portal ripping open at the edge of his palm. But the earth shook as the Stegosaurus swung its tail, the blast wave sending the Son of Time Father sprawling, the portal flickering precariously.

The warrior saw his chance. With a cry like a winter wind, he launched himself, a whirlwind of steel and muscle. He scaled the side of the Stegosaurus, his boots finding purchase on its rough hide. Reaching the bony ridge, he leaped, his blade flashing in the sun as it plunged into the creature's exposed neck.

A geyser of crimson erupted, the Stegosaurus collapsing with a thunderous boom. The warrior landed hard, chest heaving, but alive.

Momentarily hesitating, the warrior grasped his sword with a determined expression. His gaze locked onto the imminent threat advancing atop the giant dinosaur. Meanwhile, the Son of Time Father waited on the sidelines, observing the warrior confronting this new foe.

His wait was not only because he lacked experience in time travel compared to Time Father, but also because he needed time to open a new portal.

The warrior understood that if the Son of Time Father departed before him, finding him again might prove impossible. There was also the risk of jeopardizing their deal.
