Remember the Rise: Chapter One
The sun was rising from the clouds and the rain that soaked the redwood forest reflected light making Caesar's home shimmer. It was the time again, Caesar thought. Every ape will wake up from the light of morning and start the day. The leader of the apes rises up from his mosey bed and stepped towards the opening and basked in the sun. It has been four years since the apes escape to the woods and it was time for celebration. He looks back and sees his mate fast asleep cradling the full belly she has been carrying for a few months now. They will be having a baby very soon. Caesar thought on this fact of another one of his would be brought into the world. This made him think of Blue Eyes his eldest son. His childish rebel started not to long ago when Koba gave him charge of the afternoon hunting party. Caesar trusted Koba's judgement but this he knew Blue Eye's wasn't ready to lead. Caesar told this to Koba that day and his son overheard and he has rebelled ever since. Koba signed "Getting him into the action will teach him." Caesar's reply, " Blue Eye's has hot head, getting him out there will kill him. Today is proof of that."
Now he sported long scar running down the back of his head. Caesar asked what he did wrong, Koba's signed, "His stealth is not so good, deer heard him coming. He rushed." Caesar worried for his sons. For Blue Eyes because of his reluctance to listen. And the fetus because of its chances of being stubborn like his brother.
More apes started to come from their homes and started walking to the water hole that resided in the middle of their newly built ape home. Every year the shrewdness of apes would wake up early and sit around the water and wait until the group of apes go and hunt a large meal for the ceremony. There would be one hunt in the morning, and one in the evening. There would be two parts of this day. In the morning there would be a big breakfast where the leader of the Apes give the first speech of the day, praising the new family's and baby's that have grown and moved on from the horror of the past. And at night they would prepare everyone to go out and hunt for food together, like a family. And when they have all sat down and started eating they would tell stories of the Rise of the Apes. It was like they treating the day like a once a year sabbath day,thought Caesar amusingly.
"Caesa'"
The leader of the apes turned his head and saw Koba standing off to the side waiting for the other ape to acknowledge him.
"Round up the hunting group I will be with you soon." Signed Caesar.
"Should I bring your son?" Koba asked looking left to Blue Eye's room which was empty.
"No, not today." Caesar said. Koba bows his head and leaves. The majority of his people were awake now. Caesar swung down with many apes signing 'good morning' on his way down. He stops at the pond and starts drinking from the cups some of the females carved up.
He heard a low rumble of sound and saw Maurice walking over. He sat beside Caesar and grabbed a cup of his own and started drinking.
"Will you be joining us today?" He asked.
"Not today, go with the females, and find planets to eat." Maurice glances at another Orangutan on the other side of the pond.
Caesar shows his teeth in a smile and signed something only Maurice could see. The Orangutan shook his head wildly and got up to head towards where female apes said to meet. Caesar laughed at his friends embarrassment. As some of the chimps started to make a fire Caesar got up and left to find Koba and the group.
He found them just outside the forest sharpening their spears. The ground has dried and the sun was now shining through the trees, drying the leaves. It was now a quarter past eight Caesar reasoned, which means the deers should be up and running.
In the midst of the group Caesar saw Koba and Blue Eyes talking. The look of anger and disappointed could be seen from his son a male away. The leader of the apes walks closer and now his son and the other ape had his attention.
Blue Eyes frowns and signs to his father, "Why can't I come?"
"Not ready." Caesar says back.
"I am ready." Blue Eyes says back with rushed motion of his hands showing his anger.
"When you are ready to listen, you will be ready." Caesar says back with authority. Blue Eyes hisses and turns his body away looking towards Koba for help.
Koba signs, "When you are ready to listen, you will be ready." Koba says solemnly. Blue Eyes widened his eye as if betrayed then pushes past the other apes back to ape home. Koba as expressed his agreement with Caesar of Blue Eye's brashness but never have been so blunt with his son about it. Caesar sees that his son has a fondness of his friend because Koba has been lenient with Blue Eye's mistakes. But Caesar can't afford mistakes. There are still humans out there and so little of his apes that one mistake would set them back from their future, for their survival.
Koba thinks his eyes are very vulnerable. Between the apes that were in their colony Blue Eye's eyes showed the most emotion. Caesar thought it this was true but his son was young it wasn't yet time for him to worry if he was ready to be leader one day or not.
Caesar looks around the group of primates and sees they are ready. He signs to them, "Lets move out."
I'ma go ahead and say this now. These chapters won't be long. They will vary from 2 to 4 pages. But this will be a 'if the character watched their own movie fanfic'. This element of the story won't be coming anytime soon but keep a look out. FAVORITE, FOLLOW, AND REVIEW!
