Prologue: Curt's Cabana of Combat
The dreadful enemy young Tiago never thought he would see again, boredom. Since the day he and his family lived in the Amazon jungle, almost everything piqued his curiosity and satisfaction. But after experiencing everything the Amazon could offer, he couldn't believe he would actually be bored.
No matter how much he complained to his family for something to spark his interest, Tiago seemed to have exhausted all that the Amazon could offer in entertainment.
That is until today rolled in.
During one of his sessions of moaning from boredom, something catches Tiago's attention. A few clicks away from the tree Tiago was sitting on came a small group of capybara's holding what looked like some makeshift podium. Standing on the platform hoisted by the capybaras was a turtle, a species not native to Brazil or anywhere else in the Southern Eastern regions.
Curious, Tiago set off to follow the parading group of animals. To his delight, the animals halted in the heart of the Blue Macaw home. And to what follows, Tiago's boredom may be lifted.
"Good day Macaws!" the turtle roared into the trees, hoping for a response.
To the turtle's joy, the entire tribe of Blue Spix Macaws rushed in and surrounded the turtle and his troop of Capybaras. Unsure whether the turtle posed a threat or not, the macaws remained on guard as their chieftain flutters down from above.
"Well I be, the big cheese himself. Eduardo!" the turtle exclaimed.
Eduardo simply smiled and allowed the rather fast turtle to approach him with a warming embrace.
"Ah Curt, welcome back." Eduardo greeted the turtle. "What brings you back to this part of the world?"
Based by the calm demeanor from Eduardo, the turtle poses no threat and the entire tribe eases up. However, what came next was a surprise.
For no apparent reason, the turtle called Curt slapped Eduardo before dragging the dazed macaw closer to his band of capybaras.
"Ah good man, you should know by now! Today marks the special event I host every year."
"Let me guess Curt, your Cabana of Combat?" Eduardo asked.
"Atta boy, looks like you haven't hit your senile moments. But yes, it's time to start Curt's Cabana of Combat. And this year I'll be holding here in your home territory."
"Is that so?" Eduardo responded, almost pleased from the revelation.
"Of course, with your permission. And I apologize for the sudden appearance. I just heard of a worthy champion from the last Ordeal of the Mighty and-"
"Yes. You can host your little games, my friend."
As if seeing it from a fairy tale, Curt the Turtle leaped in the air with joy, way beyond the threshold of any regular animal let alone a turtle.
From a distance, the young Tiago watches on between the conversation of his grandfather and Curt. And boy Tiago couldn't get any more hype.
Without a moment of hesitation, Tiago quickly flies home to share the announcement to his folks.
A/N: And that concludes this prologue. I apologize for the long delay and short chapter. Rest assure I'll be pumping out chapters as soon as possible
