Both of them were missing at the scene of the crime.

By a spear got it split apart

It was asked Halt tends to his wife

Inside her womb was another sign of life

After she gave birth to her son

Her life had been done

Halt took the boy to the ward

A few years forward

The baby had went by Will

With determination he was filled

To go to battle school and become a great knight

But he was too small to have that right

Halt took him in as a ranger

But oh, came great danger

Two dangerous creatures were out to get him

Their souls grim

They were called the Kalkara

And Will killed them with a flaming arrow

Lost Creatures of the Earth is a nonfiction novel about what life looked like and the evolution of animals and plant until eventually it reaches humans. The book covers topics like The ages of life, Sea life, Land life, Mass extinctions and more. Like for instance did you know, the first terrestrial life forms( creatures who lived on land) were worm like creatures with odd heads and drill like tails. In conclusion, I Recommend this book to those who wish to see and experience what life was like in the eras before humans came to be.
