Many years ago, before the homosapians evolved from apes, when dinosaurs were on the verge of extinction, a large volcano errupted just south of what we now know as Hawaii. All the creatures began to flee in terror, as lumps of rock, and flaming balls of lava spurted out of the top of the volcano, and the air became murderously dense with ash and smoke. Many small creatures were stamped into the ground by the masses of stampeding dinosaurs, as the smoke begain to suffercate the wild beasts. Next came a huge tidlewave of lava, speeding down the ash-covered mountain side, instantly destroying anything in its path. The thick, firey, bubbling liquid ran for miles in every direction, before it eventually came to a stop, leaving nothing alive, and more to the point, leaving not much of the dead things recognisable. Very few creatures within a hundred miles of the volcano lived. If the lava had not cremated them, and the heavy air not choked the life out of them, they were probably burried under the settling ash, wounded, and slowly dying. A few months past, all the smoke had diffused away, the ash all settled and the boiling mass of molten rock had cooled and was back to its solid form, but still, no sign of life. No creature dared to enter the mass graveyard, no bird dared to enter the airspace which was, not too long ago, thick, black and deadly. Not even seeds carried by the wind were able to root into the former killer, let alone grow. So a section of the earth was now inhabitable to any LIVING organism.

One cold winter morning, not too far away from the deserted wasteland the volcano had caused, a young ape ran off from his mother, chasing a large rodent. His mother watched him with her deep, mysterious eyes, as he happily ran around, enjoying his youth. All of a sudden, right before her eyes, an enormous eagle swooped down impaling the young, unexpecting ape, and strongly flapped his muscular wings, flying up into the sky, carrying this huge furball with his hydrolic-like claws. Soon, the eagle began to feel tired, as the ape was alot heavier than what he expected, so he used his excellent vision to find a safe place to rest with his meal. He could see nowhere safe, and could hear the apes mother screaming not too far behind him on the ground. There was no way this eagle was going to give up his prized catch easily, and so he braved it, and became the first bird to have entered the airspace of which the volcano filled with smoke, ash and huge balls of fire, since the recent erruption. Spotting a ledge left by the cooled lava, the powerfull bird of prey glided skillfully to the rocky shelf, and set down his dinner with a bump, much to his relief.

After about twenty minutes, worrying about being so close to the murderous mountain, the eagle felt it was time to carry on towards his nest, roughly twelve miles from the other side of the volcano. As the bird hoped onto the back of the ape, before he could grip the him, the ape swung his powerful arm at the eagle, and they both went tumbling down the steep rocky cliff, twisting and turning all the way to the bottom. Both lay motionless at the foot of the mountain, which had once been home to some of the few remaining species of dinosaur.

As the sun went down, and darkness came over the land, the almost dead ape stirred, and slowly sat up. Clouds covered the moon, making it impossible to see anything, feeling scared and confused, the ape fumbled around, to try and find where he was. The floor was rough, hard and cold, not like the forest where he lived, the smell was strange and the silence deadly. He began to whimper, feeling lonely, and then his hand touched something warm and soft. The scared little ape picked up the queer object, and tried to work out what it was. It was no good, he couldn't make heads or tails of this strange motionless thing. He made up his mind to try and find his way out of this terrible place, he didn't want to be there, he was lonely and scared. As the ape began to aimlessly wander over the rocky plain which he woke up on, the moon came out from behind a cloud, and illuminated the soft object he found. It was the eagle. The ape remembered nothing of the days happenings, so with the eagle safely under his arm, he returned to his journey, this time being able to see where he was going more clearly. However, the ape wished he couldn't see where he was, it was scary, he was scared. Rocks cast the most peculiar shadows, and, as there was no vegetation, the whole place looked like nothing the ape had ever seen. Clouds once again covered the moon, leaving the timid animal in total darkness once more. Causiously, the mammal climbed up and down the uneaven volcanic rock, but all of a sudden, he steped onto something softer, shocked at the sudden change with the floor, he began to run along the moving floor. Now he was really frightened, the more he ran, the more the floor moved under his weight. He started sinking, and had to wade through this strange substace, until he was totally submurged in thousands of tiny fragments of rock, which had been the ash scattered by the powerful volcano. The ape slowly became unconsious, lost in the mids of the settled ash, with no hope of survival. He died.

A few days passed, and then it began to rain, heavily. The wind picked up, more and more, blowing away some of the ash from above the dead apes head. The rain found its way through the ash, soaking the apes fur. A flash of lightning, followed shortly by a clap of thunder, it was a ferrocious storm. The rain made a definate channel in the ash, and formed a stream, getting deeper and deeper, as the masses of water found its way off the volcano, and into the channel. Soon the gushing water uncovered a hand, the apes hand, cold, stiff, dead. The more it rained, the deeper and wider the stream became, more of the ape was uncovered, the stream, now a river, eventually freed the apes corpse. Through all of this, the deceased ape managed to keep hold of the also deceased eagle, and together, the two corpses drifted down the new river. It rained heavily for nearly two months, and the bodies of the two animals travelled hundreds of miles, they were now being thrown about in the middle of the ocean, going wherever the current took them.
