* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The author has tried to avert this as much as possible. However some inaccuracies that were already established as Land Before Time canon were retained in the story for the sake of continuity. Namely, having dinosaurs shed tears, allowing Chomper's parents to pick him up using their stubby forelimbs, and portraying Petrie's original species as being herbivores when they actually consumed fish.

It is a story in which one poorly thought out wish leads to a change in destiny for all involved. In the days that follow, each of the seven dinosaurs has to adapt to a world that is outside of their understanding. The hunted have become the hunters and they must now learn to either accept their new predatory needs or to die horribly. In this story we follow them on their path to accepting their new lives. Along the way, they must survive not only the elements in the Mysterious Beyond, but also vengeful parents and the monstrous Red Claw. Is their new reality pointless or is there some meaning to their new lives?

''The Seven Hunters'' is a story written by Rhombus that is set in the TheLandBeforeTime universe.
It is a story in which one poorly thought out wish leads to a change in destiny for all involved. In the days that follow, each of the seven dinosaurs has to adapt to a world that is outside of their understanding. The hunted have become the hunters and they must now learn to either accept their new predatory needs or to die horribly. In this story we follow them on their path to accepting their new lives. Along the way, they must survive not only the elements in the Mysterious Beyond, but also vengeful parents and the monstrous Red Claw. Is their new reality pointless or is there some meaning to their new lives?
As can be expected from the plot synopsis, the story is a DarkFic in the truest sense of the word.
