The Legend of Maximus Pornificus
Once upon a time in the middle of the calm caribbean sea a peaceful mystical Island known to the seasoned seafarers as Koobanis welcomed all weary travelers who stumbled upon her. There a boy was born who would someday be uprooted from this peaceful tropical paradise and forced to flee to foreign lands. All was tranquil and normal until at the age of five a violent overthrow of the government resulted in the empowerment of a new evil ruler who would for ever change the peaceful sedentary ways of this mystical island. The boy’s parents fearing for their freedom found passage out of the island on a merchant ship and embarked on a quest for a new land where they could thrive and prosper.
The boy watched from the deck of the ship that would take him and his family from his native home, grow smaller and smaller with each wave that was parted by the bow of the slow moving ship. The boy’s life would take many turns and take him many places but never back to Koobanis.
After what seemed an eternity the ship reached a foreign port where a towering woman holding a torch on her right hand and clutching some tablets with her left arm stood guard as the ship slowly passed. The ship remained at port for a couple of days and the boy felt cold, this was a new experience that he had never experienced before. All of the inhabitants of this foreign land wore heavy coats, hats and covered their faces with skarfs to keep warm. After a few days the ship left this foreign port and began its slow cruise to its final destination. After many a hard day on rough stormy seas land was sighted and soon the ship was moored at the port. It was the middle of winter and it was bitterly cold and the family was ill prepared for the weather that greeted them. Soon they obtained indigenous clothing that made the cold somewhat tolerable.
From the port they traveled to a train station were they boarded a train to the capital of this new land. This new land was part of what was known as Europa and was inhabited by people that although they spoke the same language as in Koobanis took great effort to understand them. (more to come.)
