There was a time when her species ruled. There was a place where they still did. It was not enviable, where the ice monkeys had fled. The lands were frozen and barren, shelter and warmth a thing of the past. And worst of all: there were humans who came to watch them through big walls of glass. But there was still a lingering pride in Yara, who thought herself a rather good leader of the troop, a sense of resilience, a belief that they would one day take back what was theirs. The only issue was that she was just so tiny that the humans never took her seriously. Hmph. That was fine with her; if they did not want to respect her, she would make them fear her.
She'd ordered a guard to take her on a nice stroll through a place where the trees grew in large cubes, sometimes made of metal and sometimes made of wood. Strange. Also strange, she'd learned, was that the food was inside these trees. Why would the humans be so silly and grow these when getting fruit from a normal tree was so much easier. How they became the dominant species, Yara would never know.
"Oowa oo oh! Owh Oo!" she said to the guard when she saw the two humans rounding a corner. It loosely translated into, You're a horrible guard! They're upon us!
There was no use in running, so she fought.( Yara attacks Claudio, knife )

knife·knifeAbe just really, really loved bananas. That was the only reason he'd agreed to go with Yara to the land of weird trees. She thought she was a queen or something; he'd watched her eat her own bugs: yuck! Everyone knows you're only supposed to eat other ice monkeys' bugs; a queen would never be so dishonorable. He had become fixated with one of the tiny suns that was trapped in a glass coconut when she started yelling very rude things at him.
"Wah, ah, awoo! Oo, ooo, oh, woo!" Abe said, which loosely translated into, I'm not a guard! I am just a tiny monkey! He'd started to throw in something about how Yara was not a queen unless you count queen of eating your own bugs, but he didn't have time. He followed her lead, but only because she was a bit faster and not because he was her guard. Hmph.( Abe attacks Kassandra, knife )
