The Treetop Tribes

Episode 5

It was three years ago…

Jim raced through the jungle, with his partner, George at his his side. At least that was his code name. They had both been given them for the mission they were to be doing for the emperor. Apparently it was to protect them if they were heard discovered. Jim had been given Carl. They both put on the all black desert cloth that they had been given. It was just another tax that the emperor had given the tribes of the Ark. Jim sheathed his sword. He gave signal to George to advance. It was then that the accident happened. He heard the cry of a parasuar. Jim cursed under his breath. How did those things do that? All of a sudden the gates to the tribe’s territory opened. Soldiers rushed out. And began to search for them. Their mission had been comprised. Jim tried to signal for George without attracting attention to himself. He got an idea. He picked up a piece of lark that had fallen from a tree and threw it to try to lure the guards away. Jim thought he was safe and tried to signal George. Unfortunately he didn’t notice the guard behind him. But George did. He rushed the guard and stabbed him right before ran Jim through. The guards saw him and rushed towards them. “RUN!” George said. Jim did what he was told. He never saw his friend again.
