Du Xian sits down near Chubby and starts listening to the traveling scholar's theories regarding the "Silver Moon Prophecy"!
This "silver moon prophecy" was an old legend across the Holy Land and was interpreted by a famous astrologer a long time ago. Today, all the living beings from this place take it as a legend or a tale told by the grandmas to their nephews.
(The scholar sits in the center and starts telling the tale.)
"It is said that our universe was originally an agglomeration of rocks full of energy. These rocks collided between them and formed bigger spheres. All the energies of the rocks fused and created the land.
Later, the life slowly appeared and civilizations were created. The people were ordinary people, without magical powers and not too knowledgeable.
In time the people started to research and exploit the natural resources from their natural habitat. After years of studies, they managed to fuse with the flow of energy and gain magical powers. New techniques were created, new weapons, new civilizations and the people became more greedy and more greedy.
One day an astrologer read the celestial astrogram and saw two shinning stars colliding, the North Star and the South Star.
He was convinced that something terrible was going to happen very soon but no one listened to his theories.
A couple of days later, a big war between some states from south and some from north just begun.
Years have passed and the planet's flow of energy was somehow disrupt.
At that moment something happened to the land. Steam was coming out from the ground, many earthquakes and water floods, many lava eruptions. More than half of the people have died and many civilizations were extinguished. Somehow, numerous parts of ground started to float in the air and that is how the Holy Land appeared and the life was preserved. Later the survivors went down to the "Abyss" and repopulated the fruitful territories." (the scholar)
"When the North Star meets the South Star, the world will know its doom!"
"During my trips I have heard some wise people saying that they spotted the two stars colliding during the spring solstice, eighteen years ago but I don't know if it is true or..." (the scholar)
The scholar couldn't finish all the story because some voices interrupted him.
"Lies, they are all lies, just rumours!!! Holy Land was always floating, there can't be anyone below us!" (person)
"You shouldn't believe all the world's rumours my dear scholar! These are all stories to put the children to sleep, they are just fantasies!" (lady)
"Well....my lady, you are free to believe what you want but I wouldn't take it as a joke!" (scholar)
"Aya...another story from outside! These travelling scholars are full of them nowadays!" (another voice)
A young girl rises up and shouts loudly inside the hall.
"Cut it off people! Don't be rude to our teacher! If you don't like listening to them, just go away!" (Chubby)
"Aye...Chubby, sit down! You drag all the attention toward us!" (Du Xian)
"Ok, ok...
Everyone, this is all for today! If you would like to hear more stories from the outside world, come next week too. Thank you for your time!" (the scholar)
