10 Peace and Quie

After Maximus left he just kept running, he didn't even fly, just running without knowing where he was going. His head was a mess. He was full of regret for killing, but he also felt a kind of rush and excitement for doing what he did. It was like two parts of him were struggling, he thought he was gonna go insane. He kept running for two weeks, he passed rivers mountains, finally he just couldn't take the exhaustion and feel on his back.

Maximus was panting heavily, he looked around, and he saw that he was inside a forest with a small lake, the forest he was in now wasn't even close compared to Dryadales forest, it had small trees, small bushes, and all sorts of small animals, like rabbits and foxes, there was nothing special about it. Maximus just kept lying there, his body started to feel heavy, and the exhaustion that had accumulated in the last two weeks finally assaulted him, his eyes started to close slowly and then Maximus fell asleep.

"Do you think he will be ok?"

"I don't know, maybe..."

"He slept for three day already"

Maximus eyes trembled and he opened them slowly. The voices he heard had waked him up from his deep sleep.

"Look dear he is waking up"said the voice of women

"Hey, how are you? How do you feel?" came the voice of a man.

Maximus looked around, he was in small simple room, no decoration just walls made of wood. On his right side was a man and a woman, both of them didn't seem older than 24 or 25 years old. The man seemed like a bear, about 2.5 meters tall wide shoulders and a big manly chest, he had a small brown beard and long brown hair, he had green eyes, and his arms were as thick as a normal person legs. But the woman on the otherwas small and beautiful, especially next to the man. She was 1.8 meters tall, a slim body type, her face even though it was a little dirty, probably from all the house work, couldn't hide her beauty, she had big blue eyes, a pointy nose and big cherry lips.

"Hey kiddo did you hear what I just asked?" said the man.

"Where I am?" asked Maximus.

"This place is close to Dipper town." said the woman.

Maximus got up slowly "Thank you for your care, I will leave now" he started to walk out when the man said.

"Hey kid we took care of you, do you think a simple thank you will be enough!" said the man.

"If you want money I don't have any" It was true. Maximus never needed money, after all everything he needed his master, old man Bluemoon, provided for him, he never had left his master side, so he didn't needmoney.

"Humph, who said I need money? My wife is pregnant, so she can't help me on the fields, so I need extra help." said the big man.

"Dear don'tbe like that I still can work."

"I will help you" said Maximus.

He didn't have anywhere to go for now and wasn't allowed to come back to his master side for 60 years, so he might as well repay this couple for their kindness.

"Hahaha, good boy, this is how man should be, repay kindness with kindness. Wife go and prepare something for us to eat, it is already too late to work the fields, we will start tomorrow" said the big man.

The woman just smiled and nodded at Maximus, then she went to the kitchen.

The food wasn't bad, it was a soup with veggies, and rabbit made with apple sauce, something that people made in this time of the year, according to the woman.

On the next day Maximus and the big man, Ben, went to the fields while his wife, Jenny, stayed home.

"So kid do you know how to work the fields?" asked Ben.

"I already told my name is Maximus, and yes I do" Maximus was annoyed always being called kid, he could feel that Ben was just a 4rd grade Spirit Master, which was impressive for someone without any background.

"I am older so if I say that you are a kid then you are a kid. Then if you know how to work you don't need me to explain to you what to do. We will start as soon as we get there." said Ben.

After walking for five more minutes they got to a big field. Maximus almost coughed blood when he saw what was in front of him. The field was full of weeds, it could be seen that it wasn't properly taken care of.

"So? It is impressive, right?!" asked Ben with pride in his voice.

"Are you kidding me? This is garbage!" said Maximus.

"Oh... why?"

"First of all look at the weeds, with so many of them all of your plants won't get enough nutrients then...." Maximus explained everything to Ben.

Maximus spent almost all morning explaining all about how to work the land.

"You really do know a lot about farming" said Ben with a laugh.

"You are just too stupid. Who even buys the land without even looking at it first.

Turns out Ben was a small ranked mercenary, he and his wife, Jenny, moved here not long ago after she got pregnant. Ben decided to by the land to be a farmer, but the problem was that he hadno knowledge whatsoever about how to work the land.

From that day on Maximus spent his days with Ben and his wife. They would wake up earlier in the morning, work the land, while Jenny was doing the work around the house.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and finally five months after, there was another member in their little group.

"Hahaha Ben are you sure you are the father? Look at her, such a cute and adorable little girl" said Maximus with a teasing smile, but one could see was very happy for his friend.

But Ben was just too happy to even tease him back, he just said "With a wife so beautiful as mine how can my baby girl be anything but beautiful. Look she is smiling at me"

Jenny has given birth to a beautiful baby girl three weeks ago, but she had to stay at the local Dipper town becouse the midwife (typically a woman, who is trained to assist women in childbirth) lived there. So Maximus and Ben came here every day to see her.

"Have you thought of a name?" asked Maximus.

"Well actually we thought as her uncle you should choose one for her" said Jenny with a kind smile on her face.

Maximus was startled, after all giving a name to someone was a big responsibility.

"Look at how nervous are you!" teased Ben.

Maximus thought for a while, and then he said "How about Felix?"

"Felix, Felix, oh look at her she is smiling my little baby Felix" said Ben

"I am glad she liked it" said Maximus

"Let's go Maximus" suddenly Ben said.

"Where?"

"We will go celebrate you and me!"

Then Ben kissed his daughter and wife and left with Maximus.

"Sir, we found them"

"Good! How is the situation?"

"That bitch Jenny just had a kid and is resting in a motel room with some martial masters protecting her and a woman who helped her deliver. As for Ben he is in the pub across the street with some kid."

"Kill them all but don't touch Jenny, then when Ben comes kill his kid in front of him" said the mysterious man with a sinister voice.
