Planet of the Apes:Revolution

David and Goliath

4 years later, Muir Woods

Four long years of fighting...yes, the ape colony had seen four more years of fighting since Emilia and Gabrielle joined the tribe.

Six years in total since the original great ape escape, and no matter how many years had passed, it seemed the human resistance was never going to truly be finished.

Fortunately for the colony, the past year they had seen a significant decrease in human attacks at the border...they didn't know when all the fighting would cease completely but, any decrease was a good sign to them.

This decrease had actually begun two years prior but last year's decrease was way more potent.

In this time of semi-peace, the apes had the perfect time to design what many would call a kingdom or a utopia...but Geleel prefered to call it home.

They had created many wooden huts, a tool making area, a stable-like area for their horses...yes horses, the apes had bred a small herd of horses, a wide array of species too.

Perhaps the most striking part of the ape kingdom was the entrance, it was a clearing created with the use of the gorillas and their strength...the entrance was then crowned off with the window symbol Caesar loved so dearly, it had become somewhat of a beacon of hope to all apes in the tribe.

The tribe's home was deep in the woods, even if the human's got past Luca's gorilla guard, they would have a long trek to search for the colony after.

Geleel, now about the age of twenty-six, walked through the village with Gabrielle's hand in his, the young girl had grown a bit from the wide eyed five year old he had met all those years back...that's right, she was nine years old now.

The ape man couldn't help but smile to himself...he still remembered telling her that he was her father like it was yesterday.

He was ghastly terrified that she would reject the idea and call him a liar or something...but when she ran to him and leaped into his arms with the most entrancing laughter he had ever heard, after her mother ofcourse...he knew that this was really it, life's peak, Gabrielle was really her father's child.

He then looked down at her as she fiddled with the rock she had picked up some time on their journey, Geleel had to admit, the kid was even more inquisitive than he was at her age.

The ape man looked straight ahead once more as they continued on their journey, they were supposed to meet up with Caesar, Rocket, and a group of Chimps who were setting up a mission.

Geleel was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard an anguished chuff, his head immediately snapped towards it as he instantly noticed the all too familiar white fur of his son, Winter.

Something was wrong with the young gorilla though, as he sat solemnly by himself, a spear slung by his side.

Ever since he was integrated into Geleel's family, they had all known, even Gabrielle had realized it, but Winter was terribly shy in any and every situation that required confrontation.

Despite the fact Winter was about 7 or 8 years old now, which were the early adult years of a gorilla, he was still family to Geleel, so naturally, the ape man had led his daughter over to Winter.

"Winter." Geleel said out loud as Winter almost leaped out of his seat in shock and surprise.

Gabrielle looked from her father to her brother in utter confusion, why did Winter seem so jumpy this morning?

The ape man arched his brow in confusion as he watched Winter mentally try and calm his nerves...he must've been lost in deep thought or something.

"Hello father." Winter signed to his father who nodded at him.
