|Chapter 6| pt.2

"The way where?" Damian hesitates"You follow-- you'll see! Hurry now!" Rafiki says."C'mon, Damian!" Y/n encourages with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling with eager anticipation. The kids chase after Rafiki, their laughter echoing through the forest as they swing Tarzan-like from tree to tree."Where's he leading us?" Damian whispers, his voice tinged with curiosity.Rafiki suddenly lowers himself, his expression a mix of mystery and mischief. He is ready to guide them deeper into the enchanting wilderness."To a special place in your heart... called Upendi!" He declared.

[ Upendi ]
Y/n- underlined
Rafiki- bold

He gently nudges their noses together, a playful gesture that sparks laughter and warmth. As he begins to narrate the song, a captivating troupe of monkeys, each with distinctive colours and antics, bursts into dance, perfectly embodying the rhythm of the melody. Around them, a vibrant assembly of animals gathers—wildebeests, zebras, and lively tropical birds—all caught up in the infectious energy of the moment. The scene unfolds like a magical Tunnel of Love, where young hearts are carried along a shimmering jungle stream, the melody swirling around them. Above all, Rafiki orchestrates the joyous chaos, his wise presence weaving a tapestry of connection and celebration throughout the whimsical atmosphere.

There's a place where the crazy moon
Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon
And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom
Will carry you away

Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines
And the rhino rhumba in a conga line
And the pink flamingoes are intertwined
As the stars come out to play

In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will lead you there

Where is it?
No place you don't take with you...

You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep
Better hold your breath cause the water's deep
It's a long way down over Lovers' Leap
But falling's half the fun!

In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will take you there

You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow
From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro
But you'll find Upendi wherever you are
Oh, underneath the sun

Upendi-- it means "love", doesn't it?
Welcome to Upendi!

In Upendi
Where the passionfruit grows sweet
And it's so divine
That you lose your mind
As it sweeps you off your feet

In Upendi
Without a worry or a care
It just takes two
To make it true
Your heart will take you there

Upendi!

Down In Upendi
Way down
In Upendi!

As the last few notes of the enchanting song "In Upendi" linger in the air, they gently repeat and gradually fade into the night. This beloved melody, a heartfelt emblem of love and unity, fills the vast savannah with warmth as Y/n and Damian, lost in the moment, harmonize the final refrain of the song together, their voices intertwining like the stars beginning to twinkle in the dusky sky.
"Good night..." Damian murmurs softly, his voice reflecting the serenity of the evening.
"Good night," Y/n replies, a dreamy undertone in their voice as they steal a glance back at him, memories of shared laughter and whispered secrets dancing in their mind. With a wistful sigh, Y/n makes their way towards the main cavern, a large, shadowy enclave at the heart of the jungle, where the air is thick with mystery, and the echoes of ancient stories seem to whisper from the walls. The cavern, with its towering stalactites and stalagmites, feels like a gateway to another world. Each step feels heavy with a bittersweet longing as the savannah's beauty fades behind them. Meanwhile, Damian, the prince of the savannah, returns to his steadfast position on the promontory, a natural stone outcrop that rises high above the landscape. It offers a breathtaking panorama of the sprawling savannah bathed in the moon's silvery glow. He stands there, silhouetted against the night sky, lost in thought as the enchanting sounds of the night embrace him. Just then, F/n, his trusted advisor and friend, emerges from the shadows, walking towards Damian with a warm, inviting smile.
"It's kind of cold tonight, huh? Come on," he says gently. Their kindness cuts through the cool night air like a comforting blanket, wrapping Damian in warmth and reassurance.

Mara, perched quietly at the edge of the palace, keenly watches as Damian and F/n make their way back to the grand palace. With a furrowed brow, she takes note of the subtle exchanges and gestures that betray a deepening bond.
"Get him! What are you waiting for? Damian, get him!" She speaks in a low, whispering tone as if afraid that her words might disturb the stillness around them.She reclines on the cold, hard surface, her heart heavy with despair as she gazes blankly ahead. The realization settles in like a suffocating fog: Damian, the fierce protector she once relied on, remains motionless, his resolve unshakeable, unwilling to launch an attack against F/n. The weight of this revelation crashes down on her, shattering her meticulously crafted plans. With a frustrated hiss escaping her lips, she leaps to her feet, urgency igniting her movements. Without hesitation, she darts back, determination driving her toward Talia, eager to relay the unsettling news. As they stepped into the rugged expanse of the outlands, the wind whipped through the air, carrying a sense of uncertainty. Talia's eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed with doubt.
"Are you really sure about this?" she hissed, her voice laced with scepticism and defiance.
"Absolutely. I witnessed it firsthand," Kara asserts, her voice steady yet filled with conviction.
"Damian cannot betray us!" Talia retorts fiercely, her brow furrowed and anger radiating from her every word.
