After setting up camp, Monty instructed Milo to get to work earning him his fame and fortune. Monty, of course, had some bodybuilding exercises to do.

After his exercises, Monty would rest his body as prescribed by his family physician. Milo would continue to dig throughout the day. Thus was the average day for the duo.

Of course, Monty's family physician would be required to come do "camp"-calls. He always gave Monty a bill of peak health. (Yes... he aspiration failure on the first day, after three lightning strikes caught everything on fire... but that's not the story he tells and Milo would never beg to differ.)

In truth, Milo had a bit of a crush on Monty. That had grown up together with his family always in the Thistlewood-Blanc's employ. He was certain that Monty, with all his flirtatious advances felt the same.

That proved to not be the case, however, when the two went to meet with the farmers who found the original fossil, Terry the Pterodactyl. Monty made advances on Catherine Yarlson and completely swept her off her feet.

Against her brother's advice, Catherine went to visit Thistlewood-Blanc camp the following day. The two spent the day in Monty's tent getting better acquainted with each other in ways unfit for the history books.

The Jarlson Family have been the sole residents of Draken Cay for generations. While its soil is fertile, its isolation made others overlook it for development. For over a century, the Jarlsons were just fine with the quiet life and the meager money they made in shipments to nearby Dragon Harbor.

Siblings Jacob and Catherine Jarlson were content with following in their ancestor's footsteps.

When they grew stir-crazy, they'd take a stroll to the castle ruins of some forgotten count. It stood atop the cliffs overlooking the cay, and was an excellent place to watch the sun rise.

Life remained peaceful for the two until one fateful day. When plowing the fields, Jacob found a strange bone. He decided to dig around and see what else he could find.

After digging for three days, Jacob found a full dinosaur skeleton. While he knew little of Dinosaurs, he knew this discovery could change him and his sister's lives. The next time his distributor came to collect the harvest, he showed off his find. The man, also being unfamiliar with dinosaurs, incorrectly identified it as a pterodactyl. (Historic photos indicate the bones were more aligned with a Quetzalcoatlus)

Having heard the peculiar dinosaur name, Catherine chuckled and named it Terry The Pterodactyl. The distributor promised to find a buyer for the fossil on behalf of the Jarlsons.

News spread of the discovery and suddenly Draken Cay was the talk of the region.

Unfortunately, the news also attracted some unsavory individuals. Two months after the discovery, in the middle of the night a thief crept across the family farm to steal the bones, and got away without raising a single alarm.

While rumors spread, pointing fingers everywhere including the distributor, Jacob and Catherine refused to believe their friend and business partner for decades would be involved in the heist.
