The Monkey was on the road to nowhere, as he had been for some time. His grand quest had been forgotten during the long trek. He had escaped being horribly tortured and forcefed his own blood by the goblins. Despite his ill treatment at their hands he felt no racial hate for the goblins, for such evils were against his nature. Instead, he could feel the goblin's poorly managed and misdirected anger, pain, and confusion and was looking for a dedicated therapist to help them. He remembered his old friend, Dr. Nim Chimpsky, who specialized in anger management among other things like ADHD. At least that is what he did until the good doctor was eaten by a moose. Recalling the sad passing of his friend only strengthened his convictions, he would find someone or something to free the goblins of their primal rage, or failing that recall what his original quest had been been before they tortured it from his mind.
Far away in the distance he could see a trail of wagons slowly traveling onwards. A wagon full of civilized gremlins, skilled with machines and devices.
The sight of these diminutive disciples of logic and engineering brought up more memories unbidden and for a moment he was in Oranguntanadia, enlightened city of his youth and capital of the Pan-Ape Alliance.
It was in Oranguntanadia that 'The Monkey' first dabbled in genetics, an interest that would soon lead to the tragic downfall of his homeland.
Soon he would make a horror unlike any ape has ever seen. This horror caused him to erase all feeling from his body, except for compassion and logic. For now though he broke into a jog to catch the slow-moving caravan.
