Scene 23

Nearby in the Jungle

The young hunter fled into the jungle and retrieved his weapons. How had they known he was behind them? And who was this woman with the Konnal’s people? How had she captured him so easily? She moved as quietly as the best hunter in the tribe.

And what had he done to anger the Konnal’s people? Why did they reject him? Did they not know he was from the tribe?

He could not return to the tribe now, with this shame hanging over him. He would have to somehow show the Konnal’s people that he was worthy of their friendship.

He watched as the pale strangers again moved away into the jungle and then slowly followed them.
