Mask Plan


Kuanguka Wapiganaji

Kuanguka Wapiganaji   (Fall Warrior)

      The Kuanguka Wapiganaji was made 10 centuries ago. This mask was created for the Grizzlee warriors of the Ziginy tribe in the Vita Kuu, Great War. This war began in the fall giving Opaque an idea for the mask he was to create. Opaque wanted the army to be hidden so he painted the mask red, yeallow and orange to blend in with the fall colours. Kuanguka Wapiganaji had more meaning behind it then it looked though. Opaque put three maple leafs on the mask representing their love for land, which is what they were fighting for. It was always a great honour to become a Grizzlee Warrior so Opaque connected feathers to the top of the mask showing their success in becoming a warrior. The Grizzleez all had to take an oath of secrecy and when at war are very quiet and use sneaky tactics. Most often the mouth is what makes the majority of noise on the human body so Opaque made the lips barely visible. From that point on the masks were sent out to be used but Opaque but almost immediately took them back. He added three steel rods, red, yellow and orange, covering the eyes and most of the Grizzleez did not understand and asked “why?” Opaque said “these are for more protection.” As the warriors started to exit the room they heard “WAIT! There is more to it.” The room was filled with Grizzleez. “These are more than just protection. These rods are a symbol of strength. They cannot be broken just like every one of you. You’re out of the ashes burning like a fire. You are Warriors. Stronger than you have ever been.”
