It was dark night in the woods, the howling of the wolves and the rattling of the snakes can be heard, there was a variety of plants , some species were still unknown to the world,some were glowing in the dark , the chirping of the insects can also be heard,"Hey Zoya look how high I climbed!" said a boy who climbed a tree , the tree was likely to be around 100 years old.
"Ekon get down from there you're going to get yourself hurt, don't waste your time there we have to return to our tribe soon it's too dangerous here at this time" she said while picking up some mushrooms in her basket ,"Okay I am coming down big sister", he said climbing down cautiously, he has climbed that tree so many times , so there's no chance he would fall. When he reached down he continued helping his sister picking some mushrooms. "No Ekon pick the white ones , those yellow ones are poisonous." Ekon threw away the yellow mushrooms and picked the white ones, " Am I picking the right one sister ?" , Zoya looks at the mushrooms he was holding and smiles, "Yes those are the ones , they are so delicious ,you know ?" the soon picked up enough mushrooms and headed towards their home.
"Chief, Zane we have received some irregularities in the woods , we heard talking something about wiping out the jungle , they also said that they will make their new army base here.", said a man to the chief of the tribe ,the chief was on his feet by this disturbing news ,"What !, I can't let this happen , we have been living here for centuries now , our ancestors found this place , we must protect it , we cant let them seize this place!" the chief walked out of his hut and looked at his village from the top of the hill , he was wearing a anxious expression on his face, "Sultan Afua start the preparations , these upcoming days are gonna be catastrophic."
The next morning Leon woke up , packed his things and walked onto his journey , the journey to home but he was armed with a Glock 9X19 mm parabellum , He didn't wanted to be careless because the germans were still on the move , he kept walking whistling a familiar song 'country roads' .. "This is sure gonna be a long journey .." as he was walking he fortuitously stepped on a trap and he was hung inside a net, he heard some foots steps towards him , he tried to reach toward his kinfe but it was to difficult for him to reach towards it , some men came down from a tree ,some disclosed them from the bushes, some were camouflage on the ground, they all assembled in a circle around the net and stared at Leon irately , "Get me out of here !" Leon yelled as he was struggling to set himself free from the net. One of the men shot Leon by his blowgun, the dart was hit on his neck, Leon couldn't reach the dart ,the net was too congested , Leon was was slowly starting to lose his consciousness, the men carried him on their shoulder and started walking, his visions was fading, his head felt too heavy, the men reached their destination. After several hours Leon gained consciousness he opened his eyes and found himself in a prison, "Hello is anybody there ?" Leon yelled, he heard some foot steps reaching towards him, "What do you want from me ?"
the mysterious man was standing in the shadow , Leon was not able to see his face clearly, he walked toward the iron bars of the prison "Just let me go!, what did I do ?........"
