Leaving the bright darkness and the dark brightness behind we travel, dear readerses, miles upon miles away to a slightly less dark and not quite as bright rainforest. Of course if you live in a rainforest yourself you may not have travelled quite as far as the rest of us and could probably invite us all in for a drink while we are here. But I digress (and not for the first time I guarantee you).

Here in the faintly less lit jungle floor we travel a little further. Yes, I am sorry I didn't just travel there straight away but it builds much needed tension you see. Here we are, the Great Temple of the Mighty Monkey God. Now ruins. Let us travel back in time (yes, yes more travelling I know, stop your moaning at the back there). We arrive at the dawn of a new age, or more accurately 10 minutes later than the dawn of a new age (if the one at the back hadn't complained so much we would have travelled back earlier to catch the actual dawn).

A small figure moves through the tall jungle trees, shrouded in shadowy darkness (but not as dark as you might think after reading previous blogisodes). It swiftly appears in the clearing before the Great Temple. And when I say before the temple I just mean he was stood in front of it not that he got here earlier. The monkey, yes monkey, for that is what it was my gentle and not so gentle readers, scampered across the ground and entered the Temple.

Within the dark confines (yes it's dark in here, very dark, like some dark...well you get the idea) the small monkey makes his way silently (yes silently like something quiet and lacking sound, like a...I think I have been here before), swiftly, to the Great Temples alter.

For a moment the monkey stood, silent, dark, not very bright (badly lit not stupid), quiet (also covered by the silent bit before). Then the monkey leaped up onto the stone alter. It took 2 rocks and striking them together created sparks to light a nearby candle. The monkey sat back in the orangey glow from the flame.

It sat and waited. It seemed to wait for an age (which would have been a pretty long time when you consider they just started a new one before we got here). Then in the slightly less darkness a voice rumbled.

"WHO DARES AWAKEN THE MIGHTY MONKEY GOD? WHO ENTERS THE INNER SANCTUM, THE SACRED ALTER OF THE AGES? WHO LIGHTS THE CANDLE THAT BURNS SO BRIGHTLY IN THE DARKNESS? WHO IS IT THAT WAKENS ME FROM MY ETERNAL SLUMBER? WHO? SPEAK!"

The small monkey looked around. It rose up on the great alter and stood tall. It raised it's arms high in the air and then...then...it spoke.

"Meep", said the monkey.
