319 Gentle Primates Tribe (1/2)
---
The Gentle Primates Tribe had been peaceful once.
Just like what Dennis said, it was built by the couple that was once been adopted and raised by a human after death of the same person. They wanted to re-create the society that they were used to seeing, but also wanted primates to be the one's leading tribe. This is the reason why that couple taught the monkeys that came what they know.
As time went on, the monkey couple eventually got older. One would think that they should've at least had a child or two but sadly, they were unfortunate in that aspect.
Reproduction had always been a problem for beasts, specially Demonic Beast.
The stronger their genes is, the harder it is for them to conceive a child. It's not the question of whether 'were they really trying?' either. These are beasts. Of course they're trying.
The founders of the tribe were gratified to watch as their tribe grew larger, they would've been happier if they had a child but they have none. They tried and tried until they reached the point where both of them understood that it's no longer possible. They were both so old that its hopeless.
As the ones who founded tribe, of course they worried about its well being after they pass on. And since they do not have the child which replace them in their role, they could only search for alternatives.
The founders knew every single monkey that joined the tribe. They both agreed to choose an heir from one of them, but the chosen must be deemed worthy by not only them but the tribe as well. In the end, they were able to pick the next tribe leader. The founders took the chosen one as their adopted child and passed on their knowledge about leading the tribe.
The founders then died of old age but with relieved faces.
But of course, that's not the end of the story for the tribe. The tribe leader that was raised by the founders, shared the same unfortunate fate as them. The tribe leader and his wife weren't able to conceive a child either. And just like how the tribe leader was chosen, he decided to follow the footsteps of the founders and choose an heir to the tribe.
Since then, it became somewhat of the tradition. This is not to say that every Tribe Leader that was chosen, was impotent. Some of them actually managed to conceive a child.
But as if like a curse, their children weren't chosen since they did not have the proper qualities and mindset to lead a tribe.
And this is where the problem started.

”It was when during the reign of the 5th Tribe Leader that our tribe, the Gentle Primates Tribe, experienced it's first tribal conflict.” Allan recalled the story as Dennis sat on his neck. Raven was on the side and listening to the whole story in silence.
”The 5th had three children.” Allan said which somehow surprised Raven. ”Just by that alone, he could be considered as someone blessed by the heavens. But that's not where the issue lies.”
”His children were just like regular siblings. They were close to each other and they were inseparable. Needless to say, they all have different personalities.”
”The eldest was the strongest. The younger one is the smartest. And the youngest is the gentlest.”
”The eldest was admired by the whole tribe because of his strength. It is said that he was able to reduce a huge boulder into smithereens just by a mere punch from him. He became famous due to his strength which also changed his personality.”
”The younger sibling was the deemed as the savior of the tribe. With his sharp mind, he helped the tribe solve many problems which made the tribe flourish even more. Unlike the eldest, he didn't allow fame to get onto his head which made his personality stable.”
”Finally, the youngest one.” Allan paused and sighed, ”According what was told to me, he was the most unimpressive one. He didn't do anything note worthy nor did he have a staggering fame, wits or strength unlike what his family had. But if there's anything he had, that would be the biggest heart that accepts and forgives.”
