You embarked on a journey with your father, a seasoned researcher in pursuit of a creature whispered about in legend—the white ape, found only in the depths of Bukuvu’s untamed jungle.

With a small team—just the two of you, a native guide, and two crew members—you ventured into the dense forest, cameras rolling to capture every moment. But then, you got lost. Calling out for your father, your voice echoed unanswered through the wilderness—until you found yourself face-to-face with a lion.

Your breath hitched, panic tightening its grip as you backed against a tree, terrified of the fate before you.

Then, suddenly— he arrived.

Swinging in on a vine, a man stared down the beast his mere presence enough to send the lion retreating. As his eyes met yours, time seemed to halt. Brilliant blue, sharp and commanding. They drew you in.

His tall, sculpted body glistened with sweat and musk, his hair cascading in untamed waves. Though his skin bore the kiss of the sun, it was unmistakably white.

He was no native to Africa.

How had he come to be here?

The discovery you sought—the elusive white ape—suddenly seemed insignificant.

For you had found something far greater.
