"We have a name for the man who lives with the apes. We call him Tarzan. He was believed to be a spirit of the trees. Protecting the animals, defending the jungle. His legend has existed for many years. Our children were taught to fear the spirit, for he was known to show no mercy to men who would venture into his jungle and fail to show the proper respect for the animals there. It is said that his spirit came from the animals themselves. Called forth in a time of need. He understands them. And he holds the power to conquer them as well as the duty to watch over them. Our tribe has always cared for the land around us, the plants and animals we share the world with, but the Legend of Tarzan taught us that just as we have our sentinels who will stand and protect us against any danger, the animals and the trees have their protector as well."
Thanks for reading! I'd like to eventually make this part of a larger scene where Jane is talking about Tarzan with the chief and different ones in the village. For now, though, it's just a quote pulled from what Jane says about the song they're singing around the campfire about "the legend of Tarzan."
Review and follow! Plenty more to come.
