Journey from the Fall Page #2

---

your twin brother tomorrow morning.

My poor brother.

In all, there were five of them.

They had only one thing in common,

a hatred of Governor Odious.

The first was an ex-slave, Otta Benga.

He and his brother were born into slavery

only to fill the coffers

of the evil Governor Odious.

One day while toiling in the fields...

Heartbroken at his brother's death,

he freed the slaves

and swore that he would be responsible

for Governor Odious's death.

I like him.

Then, there was the Indian,

who, whenever anxious,

always stroked his brow.

The Indian was supposedly married

to the most beautiful squaw in the world

yet nobody had seen her.

To verify this,

Odious disguised himself as a leper

but when he saw her reflection,

he was smitten.

Locking the doors to his wigwam,

the Indian stood guard.

Little did he know,

he was guarding an empty home

for his wife had already been kidnapped

by the evil Governor Odious.

But the squaw refused

to show herself to him.

So, Odious had her thrown

into the Labyrinth of Despair.

Eventually she realized

there was only one way out.

While mourning his wife's death

the Indian took a blood oath

never to look at another squaw

and that he would be responsible

for Governor Odious's death.

I like him, too.

Luigi was an explosive expert.

When Odious heard

about the power of his new bombs,

he had him publicly banished.

On his return, Luigi discovered

that everybody hid from him

because even speaking to him

was punishable by death.

But when his own priest refused

to hear his confession,

Luigi swore that he would be responsible

for Governor Odious's death!

Next was the English naturalist

Charles Darwin.

He loved all living things,

creatures, plants, everything alive.

Darwin was always accompanied

by his shy, brilliant colleague,

Wallace the monkey.

What is that, Wallace?

I don't know why flamingos are pink.

Even though they had developed

many theories together

they were still looking for something.

- What?

- Butterfly.

That's a good guess.

In fact, a very specific butterfly

called Americana Exotica.

One day, Odious sent them a dead one.

Butterfly Reef.

This Odious, it's bad man?

Oh, yeah.

Butterfly Reef.

That's where Governor Odious

chose to banish our heroes,

to mock them,

hoping that in their fight for survival

they would devour each other.

So, the buccaneers

were trapped on this island.

What means a buccaneer?

Well, it's like a pirate. Pirate and buccaneer,

it's like the same thing.

But I don't like pirate stories.

You're the one who asked for a pirate story.

- No.

- Yes, you did.

I just wanted to know

if your friend was a pirate.

- Why?

- Because he has just one leg.
