Just before the fierce dinosaurs were about to throw Albert into the boiling pot, a female dinosaur, who likewise had blazing orange spikes, intervened and told everyone to back up.
"My father wants everyone to leave this dinosaur alone," she told the crowd sternly.
"Brianna, you know what we do to spiked dinosaurs around here," the leader of the pack said. "You're just lucky because of who your father is," he added bitterly.
"Nevertheless," she responded quietly. "You must let him go."
Albert stood silently as Brianna approached him. "Come with me," she told him. "They can't hurt you."
Albert, very shaken up by the whole experience, slowly followed her as they made their way through the pack of fierce dinosaurs.
Once they got beyond the pack, Brianna explained that her father was one of the head figures of the pack. "They are referred to as noble ones around these parts. Because of that, the other dinosaurs here have to listen to me even if they don't want to. It's how it works in our pack."
Despite his position, Brianna's father had married a spiked dinosaur, her mother, which had caused a great uproar in the community. This explained Brianna's unique appearance.
She took Albert to an open area with no other dinosaurs around. "Bruce is a friend of mine," Brianna told him. "He warned me you might be in trouble."
Still feeling ashamed, Albert put his head down and said, "I guess I just wanted to believe I could make fierce dinosaurs like me. I want to feel special."
"You are special," Brianna replied. "And Bruce and I like you, and we're from this pack. Maybe we're different from the others here, but you're different from the others in your pack as well, so we're actually kind of the same."
