The gods have blessed us

20 years back...

"canaan village was still very small and had only a few hundred people altogether, most of the citizens were barely amical to each other and new refugees will come in from time to time"

"Ignatius was still quite and muscled up...and he had just coupled up with elen. They lived in a hut made of bamboo sticks as the walls, so it was definitely the most eye catching hurt back then. As they met up with love at first sight, they tried to materialise their love for each other with a baby, but as time gradually passed they feel more and more grieved..."

"The village doctor, a native man with a shaman look, had extraordinary powers partaking to flowers, as he could directly communicate with plants to know what was the appropriate traitement for every disease, but even him, after examining thr situation of the couples, had no hopes of curing them...it was mission impossible on that side."

"Years later they had both agreed for ignatius to take in a second wife, so he may have a inheritor, but with great love for his present wife, he refused and decided to live like that with his wife. even without a child...as always the other elder's wife always gathered at a corner to gossip and ask their children not to go to ignatius and elen hut...it was long and painful, but he held on and devoted their lives on manual work and training, hence making ignatius leader of the exploration team and an elder, meanwhile elen was the head of farming and clothing, due to her amazing skills, giving her the title of elder."

Back to Chief Gerald's hut

"Chief gerald couldn't help but accept the child seeing their condition and based on the fact that two elders had just kneeled down asking for the same thing, how could hw go against that..."

Chief G: 'sighs' okay you can have the child, on the condition that you will take full responsibity if anything happens through him , by him or on him...

Ig and Elen: 'both exchanged looks'

yes, we will accept all conditions chief.

Chief G: i will inform the elders about this, and i think there shouldn't be any problem...

so what is the name of this child?

Elen: We have decided to call him Dante...

"Immediately as the name of the child was prononced, a surge of energy popped from him, moving from him throughout the village in a circle like manner. This energy, was quite thin, so none of those present noticed its impact, but ultimate outside the village, the was an impact; low level monster than had gone far away started gathering back, and plants of all sorts started growing all round the surrounding village...meanwhile the few crops grown inthe village doubled their size, This phenomenom was a blessing for the village, which had long suffered of poor nutrition and low growth of plants due to infertile soil."

Noise noise...

Chief G: where is this noise coming from? 'turned and ask the guards out of the hut'

Guard 1: reporting sir, many low level monster with edible flesh have started coming back and several plants and medecinal herbs started growing out of the village, without the exception of our inside plantation which seems to have doubled in size..

"All open their mouths in awe and a shocked expression could be seen on their faces.."

Chief:what the...what is happen? after so many years have the gods decided to think about us this time around?

"At the same time, the child opened up his eyes and burst in tears"

nyah nyah nyah...

Ig: 'is it this child's doing? or could it be related to the MCH that we saw back at the caves' It seems so, the gods have now open up a great opporunity for us...we where ones considered the poorest of all 4 villages in the region but now things shall change.

Chief: 'this is strange, the moment we accepted this child, all this came in to place, i will not put more thought on this, The gods have bless us, that is enough...'

"Actually canaan was situated on the far west of the other three towms and was cut of from civilisation because of its low availabilty of materials and food resources and nine really wanted to visit, without talking of the risk taken when crossing the sinister forest.

The other three towns where Zephon, Pihahitoth and Amalek, with Amalek being the most wide, populated and richest of all 4."

Back in the hut

Ig: Thank you chief, we shall take our live first.

Chief: ok, take care of that child well...

Elen: do not worry chief we shall take care of him as our own son...

Chief: ok then, i won't trouble you anymore then...

" Both elen and ig regained their hut, making all possible preparations for the clothing and the bed of the child..."
