Chapter 10 - A place to call home

They achieved thiers aim and decided to rest, but a guard knocked on their various doors to tell them that the meeting would soon commence, and immediately they got up and freshened up and headed to the meeting hall and when they opened the doors they were expecting the council table to be full with the members of the council. But to there disappointment there was no one in the hall not evenTyson, then one of the guards said,"If you want to impress the council, you have to be here early".

"So when will the meeting commence". Kelvin asked

"Soon". The other guard said

"So while we are here can you explain how the council works, and why there is so much tension between the council members". Andrew asked

"And we will also like to know the history of the animal kingdom".

The guards looked at each other before one of them said

"Ok so all the animals in the council all think that they are the rightful king's of the jungle, they are the strongest, fastest, smartest and so on, so they all think they are meant to rule. So they set up a contest that involves various stages like strength,agaility, smarts and the one that works better as a team". The guard paused to see if they are listening, and they were listening with intensity and interest.

So the guard continued"So after all the events in the competition were completed it was the wild cat's that had the highest score, then there had in in-house fighting competition in order to see or decide who should take up the mantle of the king of the jungle and like we all knew it was the lion's the rightful king of the jungle that won. Or as we all call him the Mafia".

"The past king knew that with how rapid they were increasing in number, he could not control them all on his own. So he gathered all the strongest animals in the jungle from Elephants to Eagle to Rhinos to Hippo's to Gorilla to all the wild cat family and the list goes on. They had all formed gang's of their own,and being the Mafia's in their gang's. He brought them together to form the council and made them to combine their soldiers and forces together to create a large strong army of all the type animals that everyone one will look up to. Of course most of them were not happy with this decision and argued that they should have their own squad of soldiers with maximum of fifty men which was given to them". The guard said

Then the other said guard continued"After this was done there was no more conflict in jungle city, everyone was happy. Until we were attached by another race which sent us into war and to us forming an alliance with the Dalaki's".

"But then something terrible happened, our king or Mafia died in combat during the war. Which lead to Mafia Tyson the King's son to taking over the position of being the king. But the council doesn't want him to be King, they want to be King and they are using excuses like his to young, his not mature enough,he lacks experience and so on to try to get him of the set". The guard concluded

"So if they are doing all of this can't he use the army to make them back off".Andrew said

"Well the army isn't owned by the royal family, and it isn't under anyone's control.

The council would have to agree for you to have the army or cast a vote and the odds are not in the Mafia's side".

"Why was it made that way". Zain asked

"Because each and everyone of them agreed to put there kind in the army as a collective effort and a mutual agreement. And the Mafia can not fight them all with his own personal squad". The guard said

"You all should hurry up and go inside the meeting would soon commence, and everyone would soon arrive".

They all went inside. Then Kelvin said"So we are going to help Tyson get control of the army right". "Of course we are. We need the army if this plan is going to work anyway." Andrew said

"Plus it would make Tyson happy ". Zain said

One by one everyone came and the hall began to fill up with members. Then Tyson walked in, they all stood up and bowed down to show a little respect then they took their seats.

"This meeting may commence". Tyson said. "So where did we stop in our last meeting". Tyson asked

Then an evolved tiger said" we were contemplating on weather to attach the Britons before they get to us even though we are well hidden in the vast forest". The tiger said

"I for one think we should attach head on, it's only a matter of time before they find us". The Gorilla said

"So we should all charge in and attach blind when we don't even how many they are. I for one think we should take our time and study their movement. Slow and steady wins the race". The turtle said

Everyone was agreeing with the turtle and this angered the gorilla.

"But time is what we don't have you slow poke". The gorilla fired at him.

" I might not be as fast as you but I am smarter you dumdass". The turtle fired back

Soon it became a heated argument between all the council members until Tyson shouted.

"Enough ". It was so loud that it was as if he roared with all his strength."Now that you all are now calm they have something to tell you". Tyson said

Now everyone attention was focused on three people beside him.

"Good day everyone my name is Andrew and we are here to ask for help". Andrew said

"And what kind of help would that be". The gorilla asked

"To get rid of the Britons". When he said that everyone was deeply interested."You see the Britons are the ones that are spare heading this war. They want to get rid of us all, because they know that divided we fall but together we can turn the tides". Andrew said

"And how do you sopose we do that". The Elephant said.

" We combine our forces and set a trap for them to fall into. But we will need all the help we can get and alot of soldiers". Andrew said

"We have alot of soldiers in the army ". The Rhino said

"Great, so are you going to join me in my quest to eradicate the Britons from this planet and existence". Andrew said

"We would love to but how do we know that this your plans will not flop". The Tiger asked

"Because after here I plan on going to the shadow lands". Andrew said

"Are you sure, no one has ever gone there and made it out alive ". Tyson said

"Yes, I am". Andrew said

"Then we support you in your seek of alliance". The Hippo said

"But there is one problem". The tiger said"the army. No one is in control of the army". The Tiger said again

"Well if this is going to help us turn the tides in this war, then we can all agree to give Mafia Tyson full control our them". The gorilla said

They all turned to him surprised. Because he was the one that was against the idea in the first place.

"Come on, I'm tired of this daily argument we have. He has proven that he is more than fit to be the Mafia. Let us all put our selfish desires asides and do the right thing ". The gorilla said

And they all agreed.

"Well since we have all agreed on this matter it is time for us to take our leave". Zain said

"Wait before you go I want to say thank you so much for what you three have done for me. Why don't you have dinner with me and stay the night, the you can leave first thing tomorrow morning". Tyson said

"And king Kelvin there is a vast land out side this forest. It might not be the desert you use to call home, but it is a place to call home and it is something what do you say". Tyson said

Tears was coming out of Kelvin eye's" Thank you, thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to me". Then he turned to Andrew and Zain and said" I guess this his the end of the road for us". He said

"Were happy for you Kelvin, you deserve it". Andrew said

"But that means I wouldn't follow you two again ". Kelvin said

"Hey don't bother about it. You did well while it lasted. You should focus on rebuilding your new home in that vast land of ours". Zain said

Then they hugged it out

The dinner went well and they retired to there various rooms for the night and left early in the morning.

But before they left they said there final good byes to Tyson and Kelvin. Then they headed to the shadow lands
