The Pack Au's

Tarzan: Chapter 1

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

A great storm sweeps across the ocean, attacking the life of the larger island with rain and winds. Upon the shore arrives a small rowboat; wrecked and worn down but had done its job well. The inhabitants of the rowboat escape onto the shore as the storm begins to die down. A man. A woman. And a small infant wrapped in a blanket.

A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace

Before them sits a vast jungle, with towering trees, birds chirping their songs, and the sounds of many animals awake in the night.

Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

The man, woman with their child trek away from the beach; the sand beneath their bare feet cool and soft. A large tree catches their eye, and an idea of a home enters the man's mind, causing him to grin as he ruffles their hair of his young boy.

Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace

Underneath the helter of the large African trees, a family of gorillas nest for the night. Two father's watch as their child climbs all over the dominant father; all smiling happily.

Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the wall
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting

The woman holds her baby on her back as she helps the man build their home; building up walls, a roof, beds, windows, everything they could ever need to survive their new home.

But danger's no stranger here

Deep, deep in the jungle, a predator lurks with eyes hungry yellow eyes. It watches its prey, waiting until the darkness takes over the land.

The baby gorilla, still awake despite the time of night, watches as a red frog flaps past his nest. He shrieks quietly in delight and escapes his father's arms, following after the red frog. Unbeknownst to all, the hungry yellow eyes watch through the bushes as the baby gorilla draws nearer and nearer.

And with a loud growl and shriek from the baby gorilla, that awakens the entire family of gorillas, the leopard known to the gorillas as Sabor strikes.

The fathers rush to try and save their baby in time, but their efforts are stopped as the sound of their child's shrieking is cut off. The smaller of the two begins to cry, the dominant one rubbing his forehead against his to comfort him.

No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope

The dominant father leads the group, his head held high. He stops to let the others go before him, looking back to his mate with a sad look. He travels in the back, his head lowered and his expression full of sadness at the loss of his child.

Suddenly, a cry reaches his ears; the cry of a young child. He follows the sound of the child, leading him to a weird looking nest. He carefully treads inside, the silence hitting her like a branch fallen off a tree. Inside he finds odd looking things thrown all over. He carefully steps over a weird looking stick with round, red and yellow leaves around it.
