he's the "general", my favorite villager. he is 23 years old, very industrious and an esteemed elder at the age of 21. he's also a runner, does a lot of farming and researching, and made a great contribution to the construction of the hospital and uncovering the ancient mosaic. one of the ladies in the corner, the one with short, dark-blonde hair, wearing printed blue dress is his girlfriend for 4 years, the "mistress". she's 18 years old, a master scientist and an adept farmer. they met in the wedding of the oldest living couple in the land who happens to be the "mistress's" grandparents. that was the first wedding in the village and romance was in the air, thanks to the natural beauty of their island paradise, isola. they hope to be like them someday...a picture of true and everlasting love...old and gray but sweet and content with each other's company as they await the end of their adventure...

Nice story! And Esteemed Elder at the age of 21? Did you use a stew or something? Did you make him heal villagers?

i cheated on that one, after he mastered farming and building, i made him kiss a 50+ year old woman (who can never get pregnant anymore) over and over again to gain the master status on parenting skills. but he was also an adept researcher then, if i did not make him parent, i guess he's gonna be a master researcher by now, and he's gonna legally earn the esteemed elder status at the age of 23. i kind of hypnotized him when it happened though so he doesn't remember anything about it. he just woke up one day, surprised of the new knowledge he have. just thought of it as a gift from his goddess...and it actually was!!!

he was leon, one of the original villagers, and an esteemed elder. he thought he's never gonna get married nor fall in love. but he felt that "magic" and found the right woman very late in life. and a very young one at that. they got married when he was 73. when he was 74, they had their first child, cito, named after his grandfather. two years after that, his wife gave birth to twins. he needed to catch up :). they were hoping to have another one. but at age 77, leon died, making the record of being the oldest in the history of the village so far. their twins were about 10 months old then. his wife used to tell him, "you made me a complete and content woman, and even if you leave me now, our children will be enough to fill the rest of my life. they are living memories of you, and i won't need any other man."

wow, 11 years of marriage...jose is now 75 years old and che is 70, still very much in love. they are the last of the original villagers. they were the youngest then, now they are the oldest. she was 4 years old and he was 9 when romy and rose found them and helped them survive after their parents left to search for something and never came back. they invented the wedding ceremony 11 years ago and did it the first time...it was a very unforgettable moment. many more followed their lead. now, their population is growing, many of which are their descendants. as they watch the sunset in the horizon, they sigh in contentment...now they can leave in peace knowing that the village will go on for generations, proud of themselves for such an accomplishment. the end is becoming nearer for them...but they are happy and they have no worries, except for the fact that one of them may be left behind for a while after the other one dies. but soon they know that they'll be together again...in love and bliss...for all eternity...
