The heart....

...for Smoke Frog

Thank you.

This liver for Curl Nose.

Thank you.

Cocoa Leaf...

..the ears.

Thank you.

And for you Blunted..

..the balls.

Not this again!

Im helping you.

Then you eat them!

I don't need them. Neither do the rest of the fellows.

Do you fellows?

No.

Of course not!

Sometimes!

What do you think?

No!

No, no!

But how many times does it take?

I have eight older sisters and one brother.

Father took tapir balls all ten times.

Shall i tell him?

I'm sorry. The balls are useless.

You never had them?

Couldn't tell you what they taste like.

None of you?

No, but it's been fun watching you...

This was your idea!

Get him off me!

Calm down!

Why do you let them

treat you like this?

Be strong.

Where is your pride?

It all works..... Yes?

Yes...

...I just can't make children.

There is something i will tell you...

..but i warn you, it's very powerful.

What do you speak of?

The soanzo leaf.

The soazno leaf?

From the great marshes in the south...

This is what gave me my ten children.

No! No! Wait...

You have to rub them on...down there.

Just before your next try.

Apply it generously.

I don't know how to thank you.

If this works...maybe she'll stop bothering me.

Your wife?

No, her mother.

The old hag wants grandchildren.

Give me some meat.

Here, work on this...

...pure meat...

...ball breath.

What do you want?

What do you want?

I am Flint Sky. I have hunted this forest

from the day I came of age.

My father hunted this forest

with me and before me.

Jaguar Paw, my son.

He hunts this forest with me

He will hunt it with his

son after I am gone.

A good catch?

Good waters here.

The forest give much here.

We ask only to pass through.

Pass.

Keep safe as you pass.

Let's go.

Our lands were ravaged!

We seek a new beginning.

Your lands were ravaged?

Yes...

We seek a new beginning...

Be still!

My son!

Be still.

Back to the village.

I ask you not to speak of what you saw in the forest today.

You are troubled.

Yes, I am.

Those people in the forest, what did you see on them?

I do not understand.

Fear.

Deep rotting fear.

They were infected by it.

Did you see?

Fear is a sickness.

It will crawl into the soul, of anyone who engages it.

It has tainted your peace already.

I did not raise you to see you live with fear.

Strike it from your heart.

Do not bring it into our village.

At first light we will

gather with the elders...

...at the sacred hill of our fathers.

There we will call on their spirits to guide us.

Oh here he is!

The big lump!

He's useless.

He can't do it!

You! Yes you!

With your height and your girth! You have deceived us.

Get inside!

Damn you! Get in there!

Old woman, please!

Move it!

You don't work!

What are you laughing about?

Give me a grandchild or I will have you replaced.

Mother, that's enough.

Do not come out until you make a child!

Two would be better!

What?

Twins you oaf!

Mother.

Can you go away? He says he can't with you sitting there.

Just get busy.

Mom...

She's gone.

Mother, what do you say we should have at the feast tonight?

I have tapir...but I also found this boy.

I say boy.

Roasted!

The tapir smells better, I think it's more fresh.

No Dad! No! It's me! It's me!

I'll just hang the boy here in case we change our minds.

Wait...

That's our Turtles Run. That's our eldest.

Yes it's me. It's your eldest!

In that case, a crush for my eldest...

...and a crush for my youngest.

Tapir it is.
