At the end of Season 4 many questions were left unanswered. Is Zoot
really back? And is his prophecy about to be played out? Who took Brady?
And for what purposes?
These answers and more will be revealed..
"Brady!!! Brady!!!" Trudy cried out in her sleep. She tossed and turned, sheets flying everywhere, a pillow or two already on the floor. Amber crept into Trudy's hut. She could hear the poor girl's crying out from across the camp.
"Trudy?" Amber said softly touching Trudy, "Trudy, wake up."
Trudy bolted straight up as though being shocked. She looked around the place, a bit disoriented at first and then as she focused in on things she saw Amber there, beside her bed looking at her worriedly. The images of her dreams crept back to her and she began to cry, "They took my baby," she cried to Amber.
Amber sighed heavily and took Trudy in her arms. She stroked the crying girl's hair as Trudy wept softly into her shoulder. "Don't worry Trudy. They'd never hurt her, whoever took her. Besides Pride's coming up from the city tomorrow, with his help you know we'll get her back," Amber said.
Trudy heard Amber's words as she continued to cry into Amber's shoulder. Brady had only been gone from her for a day, and though the Gaians had tried hard and long to find her. They had no luck. They had to call in Pride from the city to help. He knew the forests and the parts surrounding the forest better than anyone else. But whatever it was, Trudy just knew that she didn't have her baby girl with her. And she didn't understand why this kept happening to her. Why couldn't she live like a normal mother, no problems? Like Amber. Though Amber had her own share of problems, namely where had Bray gone? Another Techno camp? But where?
"Do you want me to sleep in here tonight?" Amber asked pulling away and looking at Trudy.
Trudy looked at her friend and smiled weakly, wiping the tears from her face, "No.no, you should go back to your hut.with little Bray," she said looking to Amber.

"And they just came in and took Brady?" Pride asked Sage, a fellow Gaian, as he surveyed the place.
"Took us by surprised. Came from all over. Hit and kicked things. Took child of Trudy," Sage said in his broken English. English wasn't Sage's first language, though one could tell by his dusted orange skin and his thick Native Indian accent that usually came along with his words.
Pride looked around the place. A few short hours ago he was in the city, contemplating about the VR system, and where he could find one. Now here he was, back with his old tribe trying to figure out who took Trudy's child.
'The chosen?' he thought to himself, 'The Guardian was one crazy guy, who knows if he was able to gather a group.' But that was a distant thought at best. It seemed to organized to be the Chosen. But then who?
"Pride! Pride!" a little girl came running up to him waving a piece of paper back and forth in her hand. She ran up to Pride, and stood there for a moment catching her breath; it was quite evident she had been running for quite some time. "I.was out at the river..and this man on a horse came up to me..and handed me this..to give to you."
Pride took the piece of paper and looked at it curiously and then to the girl, "Thank you Ziggy," he said with a smile that he knew would please the little girl. Which it did, and Ziggy went skipping off.
"What it say?" Sage asked looking to the paper.
Pride looked to the paper and then opened it up and read:
The child will be returned if certain requirements are met.
Come alone. Tonight at dusk to the bend in the river.
Long lives Mother Earth.
The Protectors.
'Well that answered one question,' Pride thought as he folded the paper back up. He looked to Sage who was looking at him with the eagerness a puppy would have if their owner had a stick dangling in front of them. "Well, we know who took her now. A tribe called the Protectors. They want me to meet them."
"You not go alone," Sage said firmly.
Pride didn't say anything back; he just stood there looking out into the forest.
