Blue eyes a new chapter begins-

Set sometime after the dawn when the fighting had mostly ended Blue Eyes is all grown up & his father is getting ready to step down how will the apes cope with a new leader & what happens along the way….

Having mainly Blue Eyes in it as well as a mix of others

Not real sure where this story is gonna go but bear with me & again I hope you enjoy it….

The sun rose as Blue Eyes looked out over their home in the forrest it had been 8 long years since the war between the apes & the humans. Many lives had been lost on both sides Blue Eyes ran his hand over his chest remembering how the bear had wounded him seemed like a lifetime ago, Blue Eyes remembered how when he was young he used to play with his best friend by the lake close to the waterfalls he smiled as he remembered even getting to toss Ash in from time to time but his smile faded when he also remembered the end his friend met & by the one ape he thought of as a second father Koba….

Blue Eyes pushed the thoughts of the past out of his mind Koba was gone his lust for power & his hatred of humans gone also & although the apes still at times ran into humans from time to time the sightings had become less & less.

Blue Eyes made his way to the rest of the apes who were slowly one by one coming out from their huts in search for something to eat.

River came bounding up to his older brother as always full of energy the older ape smiled asking

"Where is father?" River however was too busy stuffing his face with as much fruit as he could get his hands on just pointed to where their parents were still sleeping Blue Eyes looked up deep in thought Maurice greeted the young brothers before asking

"Where is your father I need to speak with him" Blue Eyes pointed to their hut

"I'm just going to get him now, I'll bring him to you the older ape gave him a nod before Blue Eyes the turned to see what trouble River had gotten into now the younger ape had somehow gotten his hand stuck & was having no luck getting it out sighing & rolling his eyes at his younger brother Blue Eyes went over to help him get his hand out a short while later he was in their family hut awaiting the wakening of his parents it was rare they slept in this late.

Blue Eyes had long moved to a hut of his own but still stopped by to see his mother, father, & brother often for meals on waking Caesar smiled up at his oldest son who in turn returned the smile

"Maurice needs to speak with you" he signed Caesar gave a deep sigh & rose from his bed with Cornelia not far behind them all three made their way to the rest of the apes before Caesar spotted both Maurice & Rocket

"Go ahead, I'll catch up" with that Blue Eyes & his mother went to join Rocket in having breakfast

Blue Eyes couldn't help but wonder what his father was talking about with his two uncles but it seemed important a short while after his father joined them.

"Father! Father!" River called rushing over to greet him, "Can I keep this?" he asked looking up at his father with big hopeful eyes opening his hand to revile a small frog he'd found by the watering hole smiling Caesar shook his head River then turned to his mother with the same hopeful look in his eyes but she mirrored his father scowling River allowed the small frog it's freedom before rushing off to see what else he could find a soft smile formed on his father's face as he took in the sight before him it had taken a long time to get things settled in the apes new home but at long last peace had returned for both the humans & the apes.

*Later that day*

Blue Eyes was fishing by the river when his father came to join him the two greeted one another

"Son…We must speak" Caesar signed Blue Eyes could tell by the tone in his father's voice it was of a serious matter & as he'd had no luck with the fish as yet he turned to his father waiting as Caesar gathered his thoughts

"As you know you are of age where you will soon take over leadership….." he began slowly "I have spoken both with your mother as well as Rocket & Maurice & we all are in agreement, after this winter the time will set on my time as leader & will then rise with you as the new leader".

Blue Eyes sat there stunned for a moment he was in no rush to take over being the new leader sensing his sons feelings Caesar place a hand on Blue Eyes' shoulder

"You'll do fine, you won't be in this alone" & with that he left his son to think over what he just told him.
