Andy's mind was extraordinary ever since he was a baby. He would come up with ingenious tricks that any normal average kid could never have thought up to solve problems. However, on a trip to the African Savanna with his parents. He still has two older sisters and one older brother at home since they did not want to be dehydrated on a dusty hot sun.
The oldest of the siblings was Ellie (18), she was the oldest out of them. Meanwhile, Usa (16) was the second oldest as well as being the oldest boy in the family. For the last sister, she was called Diana (14). Below the three older siblings was Andy (13) as the youngest and brightest. On this day, his mom and dad are taking him on a trip to the African Savanna.
On the first night in the savanna, the main concerns were not really the predators said by the guide. It was the small sand gnats that would be crawling around the land at dawn and sunset. The guide knew varieties of tricks and tips surviving in the savanna. Many things were the things that the guide had once experienced before and is effective in keeping the bugs away. However, on their last day in the tour, they ran into a group of African elephants grazing before them.
It was at that moment that the happy trip turns south, a pack of a nearby pride leads by a cunning king. A lion that has intelligence way above its peers and likewise did not directly attack the elephant directly. The lion directs a couple of herds directly in the position of the elephants on the worse possible moment when the wind was blowing in their direction. As a result, it was the death of a few elephants & antelopes either trip, fell to death, or done in by the steps of the elephants. Meanwhile, the pride had a feast while their car was overturned.
By the time Andy recover his conscience, his parents had already past away. Being run over by the few passing antelopes and the car was even flipped over by one of the fleeing Elephants. Even with the car weight, the elephant was as fast as the 25 mph and in this situation, it was 40 mph. The elephant wasn't just any elephant, but the third largest of the group of elephants. The car just barely started before the land started to spin, the car was flipped over.
Andy, however, was lucky enough to survive since his body frame was very small to begin will so he could safely hide in one of the concaved seats. It was brutal when looking at the scene where elephants are fleeing. There were many accidents and many animals had become food for the lion to go around. When he woke up, he was being carried by one of the elder elephants. Supposedly, she was the oldest in the group as well.
Following the group of elephants, he learns how to look for plants to substitute for water, useful bug repellents, and formed a bond with the elephants at a very deep level. It started as a group of ten during their first meeting, but sadly it dwindles down to seven since two youngs and one older elephant were preyed on.
Life continues, he tirelessly follows the herd of elephants and he became sharper. His eyesight, hearings, bodily structure, muscular structure, and brain begin to slowly adapt to the seemingly dry savanna. While following the herd, he had faced many life-threatening situations that he can't seem to count. Hyenas, lioness, alligators, cheetas, and etcetera that could potentially prey on his flesh.
During the last five years with the herd of elephants one baby elephant was born, two youngs have died, and another adult elephant has fallen prey to the predators. He had countless life-threatening wounds, many scars, and survive the impossible while following the herd. How he survived was based on observation of the elephants' habits and their fruits intakes. Whenever possible, he would pick as many fruits as possible before the herd is leaving.
Even without any guidance, he has basically formed his own survival system. He prepared sharp weapons, a few pouches made of long strands of fiber. He could not possibly carry all of his food alone so he left it for his trusty elephants to carry. They do not seem to mind small extra weight that weighs like nothing. The elephants are slightly wary of the weapons he crafted, but other than that as long as it adds safety to the group. It was very well received when he manages to kill one hyena which scared away the rest of the hyenas.
It was at this moment that a true disaster struck. The cunning lion came back again to hunt the same old herd of elephants again. Over the year, the pride of the lion king's prestige had grown much bigger which has been noticed by humans after many human deaths have occurred in the savanna. They roamed around the savanna and the death rate is climbing increasingly high. Ever since the taste of the soft fleshes of humans
They hungered for more human meats on their plate, however, it was not without any consequences. The lion king was almost killed multiple times, but it had escaped from many human entrapments as well. The situation was good so, the cunning lion king set's his eyes on the same herd that he had preyed on before. By coincidence or not, Andy was ready for such potential attacks which is why he had prepared beforehand.
On the day of the enaction of almost the same tactics, the panicking of multiple herds are real. The cunning lions thought that such tactics will always work, but it has never considered a key variable, humans. The cunning lions were too confident that it would be a feast, but even before the feast. The oldest & bravest of elephant herd lead by Andy have already lead a charge suddenly to the pack of pride and the aim was precisely the cunning lion.
*Pluck*
Both of the elephant's tusks easily destroyed the heart and torn the stomach organs. An enrage lift of the from the elephant and a heavy drop of the dead corpse on the ground. The elephant was extremely old and it had easily killed a living lion. The moment after, the old elephant dropped dead as well. Even with both dead, the war of the lions and the elephants continue. Andy was left out of it at will. The lions are crazy and the elephants are even crazier by every new death of the elephant herds.
By the time the war between the two and a half race was over. Only two living beings were alive, a ferocious adult elephant that was personally named as Bob and Andy. They both have many new scars since the herd was outnumbered by a two to one ratio and they were heavily outnumbered. It was a bloody, situational, and ultimately to survive. Andy luckily survives when the last lioness pinned him down before being chewed on, Bob came at the right time with a slick stab. It was thanks to Bob's timely assistance that he manages to survive the last lioness.
Due to countless blood loss, he had lost his vision and feel faint. Faintly, he could see some approach figures. It could be anything hyenas that like to feast on the weaken, cheetas drawn by the blood, or some much worse another lion pride. No matter the blood loss he had and how weak he currently is, he stood with his make-shift spears in hand for a battle to the death with the approaching figures. Bob was still sensitive and sad by the killings and death of his herd, so he also felt the change in Andy's mode and got ready for another ditch for survival.
The atmosphere was intense, the shadow figures grew closer, the two ready themselves, and tall savanna grass swayed. Andy had the toughest of his dangerous battle in his life and he can not afford to drop his guard on a bloody battle that just takes place. He knows that blood will attract predators from miles away. However, he has fainted at the last moment right before the two sides met. He faints due to extreme stress since he had just taken a bloody battle which has sapped away all his energy and hidden reserves of energy as well.
