Life of Early Tribes in the Wilderness
Narrator:
There are not many men yet. Just a few tribes scattered across the wilderness. Never venturing far, unaware that other tribes exist even. Too busy with their own lives to be curious. Too frightened of the unknown to wander. Their laws are simple: the strong take everything. This is Akhoba, leader of the Rock Tribe...
Akhoba: [ordering his older son to kill the warthog]
Sakana!
Narrator:
And these are his sons, Sakana and Tumak.
Tumak: [volunteering himself]
Tumak!
Narrator:
There is no love lost between them. And that is our story.
