Maxwell ran and ran till day met night and he collapsed from fatigue. When he awakened he found himself in a wooden bed in an old wood and mud cottage in the middle of nowhere. He got up and looked around seeing the cottage was poorly made even compared to his old shack of a home. When he heard a voice. " I see you finally awake" when Maxwell turned around he saw a middle-aged man looking at him, Maxwell picked up a nearby knife and flew to the closest corner he could find with the knife pointed at the man. The man laughed and showed him a symbol burned into his neck. "See I got what you got kid we are the same '' remarked the man. Maxwell watches his leg and watches the marking on the man's neck the markings were identical. Seeing this Maxwell realized that they were both runaway slaves. After calming down Maxwell realized he didn't have his father's paper nor did he open it to memorize it. He searched desperately for the paper on him. The man laughed as Maxwell looked up and down frantically for the paper. "Looking for this" remarked the man with the paper in his hand. Maxwell quickly grabbed the paper and opened it. " Don't worry kid I didn't open it, I found it in your hands when I found you and you held on to it with so much force I knew it was important to you" the man said. "Thank you" replied Maxwell. As Maxwell stood there giving the man thanks, he took a good look at him. The man was middle-aged, about his late thirties. His skin was a dark hue about two shades darker than Maxwell's own. His body showed serious signs of torture and abuse and of a man that lived a hard life with scars and marks all over his body. On the right side of his rib cage had a scar that looked like some sort of beast took a bite out of him and the attack healed poorly over time. One of his eyes had a long scar running down it and looked like it was permanently closed due to whatever caused the scar. His -feet were scarred from knees straight down to his toes. As Maxwell stared at the man, the man laughed and stated "When you are finished looking at me there is food at the table." Maxwell apologized for staring. "It's ok child come and eat" replied the man. Maxwell walked with the man into the kitchen. The man ushered him to sit at the table. "Sit I will bring the food," remarked the man. A few moments later the man appeared with two bowls of what seemed to be rabbit soup as rabbit's feet could be seen sticking out of the bowl. The man rested the two bowls on the table, one by Maxwell and one where he sat. The man began eating whilst Maxwell stared at the food. The man laughed "it's not poisonous, it's only Rabbit stew child". "Am sorry I never had so much food in a day let alone for a meal" Maxwell replied. The man grew silent for a moment. "Well, there is more where that came from" replied the man as he watched Maxwell eat with a smile on his face. When they were finished eating Maxwell pulled the paper out and looked at it properly. It was a Map to some sort of cave where the ultimate weapon his father was talking about must be hidden but he didn't know how to find the place or where to begin looking. Even though he was scared to ask the man for directions, he walked up to the man and said "Do you know where I can find this place". The man looked at the paper and with a surprised look on his face stated "It can't be, it's real, the legends were true after all." He then looked at Maxwell grabbing him by the face causing Maxwell to jump and began looking into his eyes. "Your one of them a descendant of him," remarked the man "I can't believe after all the stories I heard as a child the legend comes to me in the form of a child" he continued. "Yes yes I think I can help you find the place." He proclaimed excitedly. "Ok so let's get going" replied Maxwell. "Wait child where do you think you are going" replied the man. "To get the ultimate weapon and free my mother and my people" proclaimed Maxwell. "You are just a boy you need time to train, grow strong then you can go get the weapon" the man explained. "I don't have time, my people are dying now" replied Maxwell, frustrated with the man's explanations. "And what can you do as you are now? Hmmm, the journey alone will kill you and even if you survive can you even lift the weapon? And let's say you can do all that you know how to fight? Or use a weapon to free your people or do you think just because you found a weapon that the people who have your people will respect you and let them go? Replied that man. Maxwell now realizing the seriousness of the man's words and the situation dropped to the floor and began crying. "Where am I going to get someone who can train a salve boy like me?".I will train you" remarked the man. "You" remarked Maxwell, "But you just a runaway slave like me aren't you?" Maxwell continued. The man laughed, "Before I was a salve I used to be a warrior form a land far far from here boy". "You see this scar on my rib cage got it from fight a lion with my bare hands" the man proclaimed. "What's a lion?" asked Maxwell. "You know what a cat is?" asked the man, Maxwell shook his head to signal yes. "Well imagine a house cat but four times the size of an average man with a craving for meat" remarked the man. Maxwell looked on it utter amazement as the man told his story about his fight with the beast. "So you will train me?" asked Maxwell in excitement after hearing the man's story. The man paused and laughed loudly "sure kid I make you the greatest warrior this side of nowhere yet". "When can we start?" asked Maxwell who was getting more and more excited as the seconds past. "In the morning kid first thing first you need to rest to get the energy to train hard to get big and strong" remarked the man, Maxwell shook his head in agreement. As the man walked off Maxwell asked him his name. "Amhaselassie" remarked the man. Maxwell paused for a moment with a confused look on his face. " amhasslbina , alashunbba, amhasssrasslas" replied Maxwell as he tried to pronounce the man's name. The man laughed "Just call me by the name the people who brought me here have called me John" remarked the man. "John" replied Maxwell as he lay in bed falling asleep awaiting the morning to come.
