As Y'shaati tried to escape from the humans sight, the tribal group that found her sleeping in that tree branch didn't manage to keep her pace; the monkey-girl was too fast for them, swinging through the treetops like if she were a wild animal of the Jungle. Once the humans realized that their efforts were futile, they stopped chasing her. Then, the group reunited to discuss what they just saw.
The humans couldn't find an explanation to how a completely naked young woman, could survive in the wildness of Amazonia. Not even the most well-trained and tool-skilled tribal men could live more than two weeks all alone beyond the dangerous borders of the jungle.
But most importantly, they couldn't stop thinking of that resplandecent aura the girl had around her white-skinned body. The moment they watched this, they remained absolutely speechless.
Now aware of the existence of this girl, the group decided to return home... and tell their people of what they just witnessed...
This group of humans belonged to the Tupínambá-Guaraní tribe, the most widespread, numerous and prosperous tribe of all Amazonia.
They are deeply spiritual people, but due to their vast territorial extension, they often influence the societies and development of the other neighboring tribes, to the point that they see themselves as the leaders of the other tribes of Amazonia.
Although peaceful, they are also practiced warriors, the most prepared for war, mainly because they know that the responsibility of protecting Amazonia and the other tribes from possible threats, rest on their hands.
For as long as they can remember, the Tupínambá-Guaraní, along with the rest of the tribes, have been waiting for a savior revealed to them by the old prophecies of the Icamiabas, their primordial human ancestors; this promised divine entity, would let people live free from pain and suffering. In the ancient Icamiaba language, it was named Iara, but nowdays that tongue is long forgotten and nobody remembers what that name truly means, so the present tribes started to call the divinity with countless names according to their own beliefs.
Of course, this was considered just a mere legend, a fairytale... until now.
Once the group of humans arrived at Kayapo, the Tupínambá-Guaraní 's main settlement, they shared their experience with all the members of the tribe. The news soon reached the ears of the tribe's chieftain, as well as the wisemen. At first, the wisemen were skeptical of the group's sayings, however when they spoke about the green aura that involved the naked girl's body, their interest emerged. Thinking of this, they recalled that old tale of yore about Iara, the being now simply known by all humans as... the Spirit of Amazonia...
Unbelievable, extraordinary, unreal... couldn't possibly be true. Or at least that was what the wisemen thought. Everything the group said matched with the legend... but this still wasn't enough evidence for them to believe. However, the tribe's chieftain and the crowd thought otherwise; their eyes illuminated with hope and illusion just to hear the group's chronicle. The myth is well known by all the members of the tribes in Amazonia, but to think that it could be true would mean that the peace in the jungle was nigh.
Then, the tribe's chieftain had an idea... an intriguing idea...
If the story wasn't enough for the wisemen to believe in the holy being's possible arrival on this world, then they would have to witness it with their own eyes...
Two days later, Y'shaati finally arrived at the Tahuayo forest, home of the great gorillas that taught her the arts of fighting. While the Tahuayos were gathered together, feasting upon a huge colorful fruit banquet, the monkey-girl planned to surprise them with a mischief. She stealthy crawled through branches to position herself just above from where the gorillas were eating. Once prepared, she couldn't help to giggle a little bit just to think of what she was about to do. The tahuayos were completely unaware of her presence... then, she suddenly jumped down from the branch. When the gorillas less expected it, a big splash of fruits splattered them all over their bodies. Startled, the tahuayos stepped away from the splash for a moment to clean the smashed fruits from their faces. Once clean, they saw what provoked the splash: Y'shaati was laying on the ground, covered in fruit juices from head to toes, laughing out loud at them.
When the gorillas recognized her, they slowly grinned and started to laugh as well. Then they proceeded to hug her. All the Tahuayos were happy to see her again. Y'shaati was considered by them just like one member more of their family due to the long time she spent with them training.
Once they finished eating the remaining fruits, Y'shaati began to tell them all the things that she had lived during her absent years. The monkey-girl spent all day chatting and sportively wrestling with the tahuayos. Even though she is smaller than them, her developed skills and strength are comparable to theirs, to the point that she can subdue other experienced gorillas. However, she is yet to defeat the Great K'uno... her master, alpha of the troop and the most powerful tahuayo of the forest...
Knowing this, Y'shaati came up with an idea: she went to her master's place to talk to him. Once she climbed to the top of the high tree where K'uno was solemnly contemplating the landscape, she bowed and spoke to him respectfully...
—(Y'shaati): "...ooh-ooh ah...ook-ook! Ooh-ooh ohh, ah-ah, ook-ook ah... Ooh-ooh, ah ah?" ("...Master, Y'shaati very happy to see you again. Y'shaati eager to ask something... Master accept fight with Y'shaati?")
—(K'uno): "..."
—(Y'shaati): "Ook-ooh-ah!" ("Please, Master!")
—(K'uno): "..."
—(Y'shaati): "...ooh-ah..." ("...Master...")
—(K'uno): "...ahh-ahh... OOH-OOH OOOOOH!!" ("...You better defeat K'uno this time, pup. K'UNO ACCEPTS CHALLENGE!!")
Suddenly, K'uno stood up and jumped down from the tree to the jungle floor. Y'shaati rushed to do the same, with a smile on her face.
The monkey-girl had politely asked her master to wrestle with her to demonstrate him how much she had progressed since the last time they battled. K'uno didn't respond immediately, but ended accepting her challenge.
When both of them reached the ground, all the other Tahuayos were suprised to see that K'uno agreed to battle with Y'shaati. K'uno didn't show up in combat very often, so the gorillas considered this a good chance for them to witness his mighty strength and skills. Then, all the gorillas quickly gathered around K'uno and Y'shaati, making a full-circle battle arena, while others remained on tree branches just to watch better the fight.
Once everything was ready to start the combat, the tahuayos stayed quiet for a moment. K'uno grabbed a bunch leaves and threw them up in the air making a beautiful stage of falling leaves. Then, both K'uno and Y'shaati proceeded to bow their heads, in sign for a fair, sportive fight... When the last floating leaf touched the ground... K'uno launched a thunderous roar and smashed the ground with his fists, causing the earth to rumble. After that, Y'shaati also launched a mighty roar, furiously beated her proud naked chest and smashed the ground with her fists several times. Then both of them assumed their battle poses, planting firmly their knuckles in the soft soil.
And from one moment to another... they charged at each other at full speed... the battle had begun...
Just before K'uno could land the first hit into Y'shaati's body, the monkey-girl dodged her attack and jumped into his back, climbing to his shoulders to apply a wrestling key. K'uno tried to grab her and take her off his loin, but she had already locked her hands and her agile toes around his neck. Y'shaati thought with that technique she would end the fight quickly, however, K'uno surprised her by rolling around the arena, crushing her body in the process. The gorilla finally managed to grab the monkey-girl by her legs and then tossed her far from him. Y'shaati clashed to the ground, but quickly reincorporated and stood on her knuckles again. K'uno rushed into her and tried to grab her again, but the white-skinned girl jumped into him, planting her pale soles and toes on his face. The gorilla tried to take off her feet from his face, but just in that moment, Y'shaati did a somersault jump and conected a powerful kick into K'uno's head.
Watching K'uno staggered from the blow, Y'shaati rapidly applied a sweep kick into the gorillas legs, provoking him to stumble. Then Y'shaati jumped into his chest and started to smash K'uno's stomach with powerful punches. The other Tahuayos were surprised to see the monkey-girl gaining the upper hand, howling and growling at both combatants, cheering them to keep fighting.
K'uno began to feel overwhelmed by the storm of punches the monkey-girl was delivering him, but then he quickly grabbed her with his feet and applied a crushing hug into her. Y'shaati tried to break free from the gorilla's grasp, but his strength was greater than hers.
Y'shaati slowly began to feel tired and to lose conscious from K'uno's hug. Her vision began to blur as the gorilla growled at her in order to make her surrender. The combat seemed lost for Y'shaati, but then... something unexpected happened.
Y'shaati focused all her strength into her mind, feeling all her power channeling into her very own soul... then, she opened her eyes...
K'uno suddenly felt a warm sensation, coming from Y'shaati's body. When he looked at her face, a blinding flash surprised him. Then a second later, Y'shaati incredibly managed to break free from the gorilla's grab. She quickly delivered a wave of powerful kicks into his upper body, provoking K'uno to lose his breath. Then, the monkey-girl holded K'uno by his powerful arms and powerfully tackled him with a headbump.
Y'shaati, at demonspeed, surrounded him and climbed again into his back, appying him a tremendous wrestle maneuver.
Her strength had massively increased. It only took her a few seconds to subdue K'uno and almost knocking him out. But this wasn't enough for her. When K'uno was finally defeated, Y'shaati did something unthinkable. She positioned below the gorilla's lower body, and holding him from there, she began to slowly lift K'uno's whole body.
The tahuayos were shocked... that white-skinned girl had defeated the most powerful gorilla of their family.
When Y'shaati lifted him at the highest point of her extended arms, she aggresively threw him into the ground. As K'uno layed completely beaten, the tahuayos gazed at Y'shaati. All the watching gorillas remained speechless... they realized Y'shaati's body was glowing in a beautiful resplandescent green aura; however they noted that the monkey-girl had a terrifying serious look on her face. Y'shaati planted her knuckles in the soft ground again, regaining her tahuayo battle pose. Then she threatenly looked at the other tahuayos, like if she had reversed her mind into a one of a wild, fierce animal. The tahuayos were suddenly frightened of her.
Y'shaati started to walk on all fours towards K'uno like a bloodlust beast. The poor gorilla was close to faint...
Then, when she finally found herself a step next to him, the scared tahuayos watched her do something she hadn't done before: Y'shaati lifted her knuckles from the ground and slowly stood upright on her two legs, gazing down at the defeated gorilla. With the last bit of his strength, K'uno looked at her, straight into her beautiful blue eyes. They were glowing with a incredible azure bright. Both remained looking at each other for a few seconds... and without warning, K'uno began to hear a faint incomprehensible voice. Like an echo inside his mind. Then, in the blink of an eye... everything finished.
Y'shaati's incandescent green aura vanished, and she fell into the ground. The tahuayos moved close to her to see what had happened to her, while others moved quickly to help K'uno. The white-skinned girl regained consciousness and looked around her, confused. She couldn't remember what had happened during the combat. When she reincorporated in her usual squatting stance, she realized that the tahuayos were aiding K'uno, who was completely overwhelmed. Worried, she rushed quickly to see if he was hurt. He was severly battered, but thankfully there wasn't any damage of consideration on his body. Looking at his defeated master, she carefully embraced him, as if she were apologizing herself for her actions. When K'uno noticed the monkey-girl was hugging him, he couldn't help to have a weak laugh. Then both looked at each others eyes again... K'uno was smiling at her. Surprised and relieved, Y'shaati started to cry from happiness and hugged him again, knowing that nothing bad happened to him.
The fear on the other tahuayos faces disappeared and instead, they started to celebrate, knowing that everything ended fine this day.
