lyrics
Ee'ti was sent to inform the One Man Army who was born Wunda to identify his true uniform and perform the making of the sword. The risk is much to afford, but what is at stake is the entire world.
SUBTERRANEOUS
The Subterraneous tunnels are a series of roads
that lead to many places.
Since the days of ancient,
these roads helped Kush traders avoid caravan raiders.
Over the years, the tunnels helped many migrations and evacuations from invasions.
Wunda and Ee'ti travel west of Kush,
headed in the direction of Tuwosiks.
The first migrations were settled here,
along with ancient traditions and secrets
no outsiders eyes and ears
can see or hear
before time was years
with the pioneers.
Clouds constantly hover the continent of Tuwosiks often tumbling rain and thunder. Tall trees barked with long perky tails highly held in the birds eye where even monkeys take turns to fly. Under the canopy of flora and bug life, the mud life motivated no fun guy, unless he were fungi. Occasionally a fallen tree breached the bright sky but for the most part, Ee'ti and Wunda navigated dense undergrowth and shrub life in dim sunlight.
The faculties of hearing and sight could very well cost life, if not paying close attention during day and night.
Large leaves leap out from left and right.
Vines hold on tight, but if you look and listen,
even mushrooms mention monologue log positions
in decomposition competitions.
On the ground level the chorus of insects, frogs and foul feathers sang aloud perpetually like a year round festival.
Lizards and snakes were small on the scale in comparison to ferocious fauna felines with long furry tails. Panthers and Jaguars preyed on selected trails, waiting to exhale.
Every night the nets fell. They caught fish and camped next to a fire kindled by the river to ward off critters, snakes and lizards including anything bigger.
The rainforest that covers Tuwosiks have many areas that are still undiscovered and many clans live in complete isolation and barriers from outsiders and colonial marriages.
The Luzu clan was a hunter tribe
whose enormous diet thrived on the rainforest abundant life including tortoise, bats and mice.
One night, rolling thunder rumbled the jumbo jungle and a musical monsoon mumbled til the morning mud and puddles crossed Wunda and Ee'ti paths with a band of hunters who huddled in the shrubs.
Clearly outnumbered, Wunda calmly reached in his bucket soon making his fish offering public but suddenly, a spotted leopard caught him off guard, plunging from the shrubbery and landing ten meters in front of him.
Wunda stood frozen, holding the fish.
Thinking quick, he tossed it at the Leopards left paw
but the predator tilted it's head
and intercepted the fish in its jaws.
Two of the hunters launched
from the left and right leaves at large,
Springing surprise spear attacks
speeding towards the leopards jugular vein and heart,
sparing the other parts
Like true masters of the martial arts.
After those two hits, it died quick.
The leopard was being tracked for the last 3 days prior to this,
and now Wunda just happened to stumbled across the line of fire. Good thing they didn't miss.
When he approached the Spears for hire
he noticed they were weird and quiet.
In the dim environment he couldn't see right away
that they were primates.
Being isolated under the Rainforest landscape undisturbed, they developed into an advanced race. They communicated to each other with grunts and hand gestures.
Eight hunter apes escorted Ee'ti and Wunda not far away.
Further into the rainforest reveals
a Massive colony situated high in the Beak in Hills.
