2 Preparations

Maximus woke up earlier in the next morning. He went to the kitchen to eat something and then ran to the river bank at his fastest speed.

At the river bank the old man was still standing there with his fishing pole in hand and a serene expression in his face. Maximus came close, bowed and said "Good morning Master!"

The old man didn't even move, he just said "Come, seat here next to me" Maximus nodded and sat down next to the old man.

"Tell me first, what is your name?" asked the old man.

Only after hearing the old's man question did Maximus realize that he didn't even introduce himself to his master. "My name is D.... Maximus, it was given to me by my mother"

"Maximus, Maximus, a great name. Then tell me Maximus, what truly starts a civilization, is it a strong warrior who controls all with his strength or is someone who is just and benevolent to all people?"

Maximus thought that these questions were strange, he didn't even know why he almost said that his name was Dimitri. After all that was a name that brought nothing but pain to him. Then Maximus started thinking of his old life, of his farm and off all the people that he knew, including the women that he loved more than life itself, who betrayed him. Maximus entered a state of melancholy. He didn't notice the passages of time. Then he remembered about the time he spent with his grandfather working the land. His grandfather always used to say "Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, others arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization" every time Maximus heard him say that he felt very proud of his job. Then he felt like something that he lost a long time ago came back

Maximus looked at the old man said with a smile "A farmer to work the land"

The old man was momentarily startled, then he started laughing out loud.

"HAHAHA!!! A farmer that's a good one. Then why is it a farmer and not a powerful Martial Artist?"

"Because the farmers are the founders of civilizations. They are the ones who start the cycle of life" said Maximus.

The old man fell silent as he looked at the already dark sky and said "Maximus, master will tell you a secret. I think you are the only person to ever say that a simple farmer can start a civilization."

Maximus looked at the sky too and noticed that the sky was already dark and full of stars.

"Go and rest, there is nothing else to do for today. I can feel that in a few more days your awakening ceremony can be performed. Until then, you can just play around the tree house, but don't go to far"

This day didn't make any sense at all to Maximus, but he was too excited about his awakening ceremony to give it too much thought.

Some time later after Maximus left.

"So old fart, did you put him in the Nirvana trans to find if he will be a monster or a savior?"

"Argenti have you ever heard of someone ever say that the ones who start civilizations are farmer"

"What?!?!"

"That kid, he doesn't seek power for "Good" or "Evil" he just seeks.... properties for all beings."

"How can you be sure. What if in the future, when he has the power, he decides to destroy everyone for a greater good like...."

"Don't even mention his name Argenti" barked the oldman.

"Sorry old man. I took a look at his soul too. There is a100%chance that there will be a big phenomenon at his awakening ceremony. There willbe many old "friends"coming" said Argenti

"Humph let them come, I want to see who will dare to go against me, The Bluemoon Devil"

"Haha we two friends have been silent for many years there are many new legends in the world old devil, is better if we prepare" said Argenti.

"You do that, and also have someone watch after the kid."

"I will" then Argenti diapered.

Then Argenti appeared in the air of small and beautiful city. It was Dryadales the city of Elves. Inside the throne room two elves were talking a man and a woman. The man had an authoritative look about him, his face was strict with sharp golden eyes and silver hair, a sharp chin, small nose and slightly pale lips, he had a slim and beautiful body, but the thing that stood out the most were long pointy ears. He was standing looking at the back of the women who had a simple silver gold dress.

The womanwas breathtaking beautiful, with long silver hair, her pale perfect lips and perfectgolden eyes, with a tinge of silver, and her beautiful long ears.

"The situation is worse than we though your Highness." said the man.

This woman was Genetrix, the Queen Mother of All Elves. Genetrix turned around looked at the man and said. "You can leave for now, we will talk later in the morning."

"But your High....."

"Leave, Dux" the women repeated herself.

"Yes you Highness"

After the Dux left, Genetrix went to the balcony and stood there looking at the beautiful sight of the buildings embracing the nature as if they weren't made but part of the mountain, and part of the forest. "What should we do?" thought Genetrix to herself.

"Genetrix I need you to do something"

Genetrix was startled she looked around and saw Argenti slowly floating down.

"I great the Great Sil...."

"Stop with that, listen I need you to do two things. First I need you to send two Saints to protect the boy who is staying with that old Devil, he is only a human child it won't be hard to find him, make sure he doesn't see you. Second, eighteen days from now I need all of your Saints and Regnators to come to that's old's Devil house."

Without even giving with much thought Genetrix bowed and said "Yes Lord Argenti"

After Argenti left Genetrix sent a mental message to Dux.

"Dux I got an order from Lord Argenti"

"WHAT, THE...."

"Listen, first find two Saints and send them to Lord Bluemoon house and tell them to look after a human boy, but make sure he doesn't see them. Then eighteen day latter we are to gather all the Saints and Regnators and go to Lord Bluemoon's house"

"All Saints and Regnators what they need so much...?"

"Doesn't matter just do it!"

"Yes your Highness!"

After Dux left Genetrix stared at the starry sky that was starting to get cloudy "The undercurrents of the world started moving. A new era is about to begin, I hope we can survive the turbulent time that are about to come" then Genetrix turned around and went inside the throne room.

On massive floating island was an old man meditating.

"Lord our spies that there is movement in the Dryadales"

"The kingdom of those elves. Hmm... if anything major happens notify me immediately."

"Yes"

The days passed rapidly, Maximus just spend his time fouling around and exploring the rich fauna in this strange forest. Until finally the day of his awakening came.
