At this point a year had passed, or at least Mendes thought so, hard to keep track of time in the jungle as a gorilla. In whatever amount of time had passed the group managed to settle down. No new wishes were cast, just manual labor of building a home in the trees, Mendes even installed the old home door into a wall in some random scenario a new person walked through that door.
It took a while but Alex Mendes got used to his situation, being covered in hair from his old clean shave, being in the jungle, and just being a gorilla in general. Soon Ric called Alex, Josh, and Luke over and told them some exciting news. Ric “Well its been a long time since we used a wish, and ive decided that its time. The three of you will each get a wish of your choosing, so what’ll it be”? It took Alex a while but he finally decided on a answer. Alex “I would like the ability to mind control animals, that way I can make the animals in the jungle help us”. As Ric finished casting the spell Alex looked at a bird and told it to pick up a very specific twig and bring it to him, which the bird did. Alex with his new found power instantly turned to Ric and broke into his mind, he forced Ric to give Alex and Luke the ability to use the spell book, then with this ability he took away Ric’s and Josh’s power to use the book, and now the tables had turned.
Next Alex mind controlled Josh and Ric out into the wilderness jungle, taking away their ability to speak but leaving their human mind, and the final cherry on top made it so the two would never return. They would be forced to live out in the jungle forever, finding a new troop.
Now Alex was free, he could do what he wanted with Luke, the two however had grown to enjoy their new gorilla bodies and the jungle, it was time to celebrate.
