The Emerald Forest Page #2

in The Dead World.

But Father!

No. We go along

The Edge of The World.

Look. Strange trees and vines.

We can climb up.

Go across the vine and down.

If we attack now we will all die.

But without our women

we will be a people no more.

Father--

Put me down. I must die.

Brother, set my soul free with fire.

Add a few grains of my bones...

to the dust of those

that went before us.

Son...

do what I could not do.

I will, Father.

Do as my father says.

Take his body back...

and wait for me there.

What? Where will you go?

I will go beyond

The Edge of The World.

To find my other father.

He knows about the Lightning Spears.

I will ask him to help us.

How do you know this is the way?

He told me he lives at the end

of The-River-Without-Water.

The-River-Without-Water ends here.

Daddee lives here?

He said his village...

has more people than ants

in an ant hill.

Could that be it?

I know you.

You are The Invisible People.

Come. Hurry.

So there are still people like you.

We once lived out there,

not far from them.

You called us The Bat People.

Because you hunted at night.

My father told me many stories

about your tribe.

Why do you come here?

We seek what you call A White Man.

Can you help us?

What's he called?

Bil. He said he was called Bil.

Seor Bil?

It's not enough.

The people here have many names.

You must know them all...

and each living place has a number.

Did he tell you any numbers?

No.

We cannot wait.

I must find him.

I will look through the darkness

of what-has-been.

I have seen.

I remember.

Wait for the war cry.

I have told them to wait

for the war cry.

Wait for the war cry.

Go. This way.

Go. Go.

You are not Fierce.

Father...

we will tell our children...

the story of what you did for us.

You will always live in our hearts...

and in our dreams.

Tommie, my son.

Do you see that?

Do you know what it is?

Wanadi said...

it is a big log jam.

Yes. Lots of logs and the river...

cannot flow.

Because of that log jam...

more white people will come here...

and enter the world

and cut down more trees...

and take what is yours.

They will not find us.

We are The Invisible People.

They will, Tommie.

They will see you.

Father...

if that is a log jam...

water can break it.

No.

A great food of water

can break it.

No.

Not this kind of log jam.

You remember.

The frogs sing and it rains.

We will ask the frogs

to sing very loud.

The rain?

It has been raining for two days.

We have been to the river.

A big food is coming.

...and every stream

has its spirit snake...

and all the spirit snakes

meet in the big river...

and twist around each other...

to become one, the greatest one...
