Caesar's Pearl

by ZabuzasGirl

In ape lore, apes and humans have always been at odds with each other. Most firmly did believed that only one civilization could survive, but a few believed they could coexist peacefully desperately trying to make those, whom couldn't, actually see. Above all, one stood out from the rest. She was the daughter of Will and Caroline Rodman, little sister to Caesar. Her name is Margo.

Caesar's Pearl Prologue

History could be a very fickle thing. Sometimes it was accurate, but other times it rang with falsehoods.

For instance legend told that when Caesar was rescued Willow Rodman raised Caesar by himself with his ailing elderly father. Then when an altercation with one of the neighbors had Will take Caesar to the zoo for treatment to mend his injury that was when he first met Caroline. At the time she was a primatologist working for the zoo. Not long after she started a relationship with Will and grew attached to Caesar. Anyone that dared to look back would see this.

They'd be wrong, so would history.

In truth Will and Caroline knew each other long before Caesar ever came into the picture. They'd been friends for years and married a couple of months ahead of the time when Will brought Caesar home saving him from being euthanized or worst in Gen-Sys labs. They raised Caesar in secret as their own son giving him all the love and care they possessed, love that never would've been equaled if he'd been sent off somewhere else.

Then two years later there came a very welcome pleasant surprise.

Will and Caroline had a beauty baby girl they named Margo. Bringing her home Caesar appeared nervous and unsure of the newest addition to their small family.

Margo was totally different. She may have been a baby, but, unlike her ape counterpart, she was drawn to him almost immediately.

As the years went by Caesar and Margo formed a kinship. Pure as the dawn brings the sunrise they had an unshakeable bond between brother and sister that not even time could tear apart. Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond. This was made most apparent after Caesar led the apes to freedom in the Redwoods, the plague hit, and humanity started losing ground.

All alone in the world, her parents falling victim to the Simian Virus in the first stages of the epidemic, an orphan Margo thought she'd lost everything. That is until one faithful life-changing encounter altered the course of destiny forever.

Reunited at last nothing, absolutely no power on this earth by neither man nor ape, could tear Caesar and Margo apart again.

This is their story all the way from beginning to the end.

They all get there together or they don't get there at all.

Authors Note:

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner twice over! Well-done Time-Twilight. For the time being I'm still deliberating on the dog breed, but I'm partial to the Border Collie.

I'm mainly focusing on my Born To Lead series, but here's a hint to what you have to look forward to.
