The dawn of a new day in Amazonia is always considered a blessing of the Gods. The threads of destiny begin to move, allowing the natural flow of things to unfold naturally. The jungle, forever alive, always has something new to tell. The jungle never sleeps... the jungle is always watching.
The transition of a single day in this paradise is enough to fill countless books with endless stories and fables that would be impossible to understand in just one lifetime.
However, there are tales, including particularly singular rumors, that stand out among a sea of experiences. With the lens but firm passage of time, these stories are consecrated on the stage of life. It is at this moment that stories flourish and become legends.
"Didn't hear it? A young boy of the Terena tribe claims to have been saved by a strange girl with white skin like the moon and a golden mane like the sunset!"
"They say the Tupínambá-Guaraní chieftain had a revelation before the image of a supposed young woman who forgave his life and vanished into the deep rainforest. Now, he propagates his belief about her divinity... I believe him. If he says it, it must be true!"
These were the first vestiges of what was previously known as Iara's prophecy and is now known to human tribes as the legendary sightings of Q'oya-Y'uraka'i: the Queen of the Monkeys.
And since then, the experiences of contact with this entity have not ceased to arise: more and more are the cases in which people claim to have seen, both in the day as in the night, a shadow swinging among the top of the trees, a silhouette hidden among the dense foliage, a immutable figure that travels with monkeys and disappears in the brief moment that lasts a blink: the beautiful naked girl with white skin that behaves like an ape is always mentioned just after an unexpected event.
Humans want to believe that this being came to this earth for a purpose: to balance the natural order of life in Amazonia. For some strange reason they still cannot explain, it's very existence gives them a sense of peace and wellness. Many tribes begin to venerate her as a Goddess... others respect her and prefer to stay distant so as not to provoke her wrath.
The vast majority of human settlements are aware of it, but one never knows when the opportunity to be blessed with her presence will present.
Numerous groups of explorers have tried to follow the trail to know her place of origin, without success so far. The only conclusion they have is that the Monkey Queen must live beyond the limits not explored by the tribal man. An inhospitable place in which any ordinary human being couldn't survive more than five suns and five moons.
Only an animal could call a place like that "home".
Certainly, nothing closer, but and at the same time, far from reality.
The barriers of language and human understanding are not a limitation for this legend. More and more wild creatures of the jungle are aware of that feral human female who dedicates her days touring throughout the jungle, in search of protecting hopeless souls and fighting the wicked beings that harm and kill only for pleasure and not for survival.
Since its appearance and imposing triumph before one of the many Dark Gods of the Amazonia's mythologies, an increasingly large list of feats has been made known through the different animal families in the jungle.
The girl, belonging to the order of primates, specifically to the family of Naka'i monkeys, has chosen this life as its reason of living. The ethereal deity that inhabits her mortal body chose her as her incarnation to fulfill a purpose that she couldn't perform on her own.
And now, consecrated as a guardian before the eyes of all the inhabitants of Amazonia, she awaits the call of the jungle... a call that will soon make her live a new odyssey into the unknown...
