We finally headed out under the rise of the sun, the heat already starting to make the sweat drip from my forehead. I was informed that we would be walking along the river for the first leg of the journey; not only would it help us stay hydrated and cool, but it was one the best means of navigation back to the jungle homestead. Knowing that the heat would drive most of the animals away into the shade, I figured that we wouldn't be seeing many creatures till dusk.

We truged on for a few hours before Hazkia said we could take a break. As soon as I had set down the parcels I had been given to carry, and thrown off my clothes, I was in the water. Although the savannah sun had by now warmed up the water considerably, it was still much cooler than the stagnant air. I just laid
down in the water for a while, my head resting on the bank. I closed my eyes against the sun while the villagers drank and ate quietly amongst themselves. With the sun on my face and the cool water around me, it wasn't long before I felt myself drifting into a state of pure relaxation....

I don't know whether it was the movement of the ground or the yelling of the group that woke me first; both somehow seemed to be disconnected from each other yet happening at the same time - my mind was jerked back to reality.

A male elephant in must had decided that we were too close to his river. He was charging at us in a fit of rage, trunk up, ears flapping, and a loud distinct trumpeting emitting loudly from his throat. Behind him stood the bachelor herd he was part of, but they did not seem as upset by our prescence as he did. The ground shook.

Everyone rushed out of the way of the raging bull...all except Kissa. Kissa was in her own world, chasing her tail, oblivious somehow to the one ton animal rampaging directly towards her.

Adebanke, noticing her daughter in danger, went to go get her, but before she could, Yahya stepped up and growled ferociously at the beast.

Will Kissa be okay? Find out next time on Mika's Trip to Africa!

I've decided to update with smaller posts than usual; its easier for me to do small updates then the long ones you are all use to. Hope you don't mind the slight change!

dogypig · « **Reply #170 on:** December 19, 2006, 07:36:11 PM »

So what happens to kissa and when are you going to update this?

mikaboshi · « **Reply #171 on:** December 20, 2006, 01:12:19 AM »

Haha I know, I'm such a slacker. I had to sleep though, since I had done practically none of that since the beginning of December, so I've literally been sleeping about 10-12 hours at a time with naps in between. Other than that, I had to beat Okami for the PS2 (AWESOME game for anyone who wants to try it) to make room for any games I get for Christmas *crosses fingers for Spyro* Additionally, I haven't really seen my family a whole lot and so I have been spending time with them. And then, after all of that, I've been working on some ZT2 stuff, so it's just been hard for me to pull myself away from everything, get into the game, and take pictures. And Penguinman just got me addicted to a PC game called Zeus so that has been an increasingly fun part of life too. See, I say I'm a slacker but I've got so much going on! LOL.

Don't worry Mika, we're prepared to wait.

dogypig · « **Reply #173 on:** December 20, 2006, 09:27:36 AM »

Yahh coz I can play with my hermit crabs and my turtle and some other stuff too.
Any whay I love your zoo very very much. I can't even play ZT2 cuz my other computer is not working for some reason. So I can't wait to see the next part of the story .
