The first four chapters of a story that is set on an island in the middle of the atlantic ocean. The island is unknown to the rest of the world because the sea that surrounds it is prohibited for aquatic transport/transit. The reason that people are not allowed to sail in this patch of water is because typhoons, tidal waves and storms seem to live here. This patch of water is known as The Yund to the people of Poig.

The most Southerly territory is hailed as Krua, a land that continues to evolve. The Yano Dog has recently sprouted a fifth leg and the Hifa Cat is happy because this maims the Yano somewhat. Elsewhere the Fioq Koala has adapted to the fact that eucalyptus leaves have recently evolved to have legs and be able to run away from the Fioq, it has done this by shedding some of the pot-belly and doing some hours on the tread-mill, only joking they got faster. Krua is essentially a huge frying pan that got left on the heat after the “Master Evolver/ Cook”, who ever the fuck that was, had finished making the Baja puree, done the Hhhu cake and had just flambéed Deet. Kruans are a diverse people with many traditional (or to you and me down right weird) ceremonies. They hold ceremonies for anything. For example a Kruan woman once just dodged a ping of Pido Pigeon poo and the Kruanaens thought it only just that they should have a good piss-up (I hate to be poncy but this phrase strikes me as funny as in it says piss-’up’ but when most people get drunk they end up lying down in a crunchy bed of McCoy’s crisps, using a suspicious bundle as a pillow, muttering “givveuusanutherbeer” and re-enacting the recent amazing darts match when “Kooky Dave” hit bulls eye with his first dart and hit bulls bollocks with his next one.)

Krua is a very sociable place, A Noqq Chimp likes to pop around for a mango with his mates, a Sopz Adder goes round to his friends den with half a dozen shrews to ease the pain of his wife leaving “She was a slippery one, but she liked my cobra!”. Meanwhile a Gyyo Fox has a change of heart once he’d captured the rabbit and asked him how his day has been.

Kruan landscape is very extreme; there are gigantic lakes, flaming chasms and thriving jungles. It is in these biomes that the animals have evolved at a shocking rate, the Dopa Horse has grown to twice the size a normal horse and has developed sharp teeth and claws. In the lakes of Krua the Ivin salmon has changed its skin colour to blend in with the water, angered by this the Cuak Bear has developed a film over its eyes that allows it to see through the water and spot the Ivin salmon (we will keep you posted on this breaking news). In the rocky caves of Krua the Jorx Bat has shrunk its wings so that it can fit through the gaps in the grotto to get at the juicy fruits that grow on the other side (Kruan saying “The fruit is always juicier on the other side”). While in the lime jungles of Krua the Leen Panther has altered its bone structure to make it easier to climb the Togo tree and catch the Funt Squirrels that nest in its lofty branches. In turn the Funt have grown stronger leg muscles to enable them to jump from tree to tree and escape the Leen (well lets be honest the squirrels going to get eaten either way, let it has its fun first). On the hole it’s a pretty buzzing place.
