Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The Dawn of War
Jake's warning fell on deaf ears. The apes, proud and independent, refused to believe that the humans posed any real threat. They saw themselves as masters of their own destiny, capable of defending their territory against any intruders. Jake knew that he had to do something, but he was just one ape against an entire civilization. He couldn't fight them alone. He needed the help of the other apes, but how could he convince them of the danger they faced? He decided to take a drastic step. He would infiltrate the human camp, gather intelligence, and then warn his tribe of the impending invasion. Disguised as a human, Jake ventured into the heart of the human encampment. He observed their movements, their weapons, their technology. He learned their plans, their strategies, their weaknesses. He returned to the tribe with his findings, painting a grim picture of the impending conflict. The apes, initially dismissive, were slowly forced to acknowledge the truth. The humans were a formidable foe, and they would need to unite if they were to survive.
