The Treetop Tribes

Episode 5

Ten Years Ago…

Jim gripped the sword in his hand. His partner George, pulled out a spyglass. He observed the enemy base that the emperor had sent them to destroy. The tribes had been getting a bit rebellious. He had said. He thought that maybe a demonstration of his power was in order, to keep them on line. Their mission was to get the gates of that base open. Afterwards, the cavalry would storm on in and destroy everything. Though apparently this would be extremely dangerous. They even had code names. It was just in case they were overheard talking to each other, they emperor had said. These people knew things ways to find you and track you down. Jim didn’t even know George’s real name. And George didn’t know his. He addressed him by Carl. When George gave him the signal that it would be safe to advance, they both slipped on the full black desert cloth and advanced towards the base. Jim saw the first watchtower, with a guard searching the area. Jim tapped George on the shoulder, try to get his attention. George yelped in surprise. The guard tower started yelling. “INTRUDERS! INTRUDERS!” He screamed. All of a sudden, the gates burst open. Jim didn’t care that the cloth armor was cold anymore, so long as it kept him hind from the people patrolling the area. George was hidden in a corner, but the guards were close to him. And Jim knew he had to act fast before his friend was discovered. He picked up a piece of bark that had fallen from the a tree and threw it with all his might into the opposite side of the forest. All the guards rushed over there, leaving George’s area. Or so Jim thought. He got up to go tell George it was safe. He was sprinting over, really wanting to get out of there before the guards came back, when heard footsteps behind him. They were fast and they were deep. He looking behind him to see a wild raptor rushing straight at him. It clawed deep into his arm, piercing his armor and flesh. He let out a scream of pain. Just when he thought he was done for, right before the raptor closed its horrible, foul smelling jaws around his neck. An arrow flew forward, straight into the raptors eye. It fell over dead. Jim looked back, to see George standing there with a bow. Just as Jim thought he was out of the woods, all the guards came rushing over. They had heard him scream. George shot one with an arrow. “RUN!” He screamed. “RUN AND DON’T LOOK BACK.” Jim did as he was told. He never saw George again.
