A dwarf lady gave birth, and almost instantly she received a message.
[Legendary Farmer Candidate has been born!]
[Private Message to Cindy Late: Congratulations! Your child is now a Legendary Farmer Candidate, you and your child will no longer receive information regarding candidates!].
The woman's face curled, and almost instantly looked at the crying baby, and her face darkened, whilst whispering to herself 'Trouble'.
The first two years for Eve were pure hell. Her Mother treated her without any form of love or compassion. In fact Cindy hated everything about Eve. She had naturally ginger hair and freckles, she was the epitome of her late Father.
Everyday, for two years, her Mother would spout senile things towards Eve.
Eve felt nothing during these times, she felt broken.
She questioned her existence everyday until she truly believed she was worth nothing, only at the age of two. She couldn't speak, as her Mother never cared to educate her, and she could barely stand on her own two feet.
Although, it could be said because of these events, Eve matured a disgustingly large rate, as she eventually had to learn to fend for herself as her Mother barely fed her.
Eve's life was tough, until an old couple at the age of 60 (considered old for ordinary citizens, especially humans, of course not for adventurers), saw the pure state of Eve as she was caught stealing, and they took responsibility for her and paid back everything she stole, which was only a few loaves of bread, but regardless they paid for her.
"Lassie, are you okay? What's your name?". The old woman spoke to her whilst crouching down to her level.
"E-eve". Eve tried everything to avoid contact, this was the first time she interacted with anyone that wasn't shouting at her.
"Are you lost? Where do you and your parents live?". The woman had a few strands of gray hair, and her voice was surprisingly high pitched.
Eve shook her dirty hair as fast as she could, she couldn't speak but she at least understood people.
"Okay... want to come with us then?". The woman just smiled and that was all.
Eve hesitated for a bit and wondered why these people were even helping her. She was unbelievably skinny and in rags, and at this point, she had nothing to lose.
She slowly nodded her head, and with that, she had been with the couple for two years since, and she couldn't be happier.
When she was found by Mark and Robin, they instantly moved to Tian, which was a small village in the countryside, which unexpectedly was a blessing for Eve as she could farm carrots!
Eve also had a brother too, he was called Lee, and he was an Elf, he seemed to be adopted aswell. Thankfully, he was much older when Eve first moved in with the family, as he was 9 and Eve was only 2 at the time. Because of this, Lee saw her as someone to protect, and she couldn't be happier.
As soon as they moved to the countryside, they moved next to quite an eccentric family, although it was obvious they truly loved each other, sometimes you'd be able to overhear shouting and crashes which instantly alerted others, however the next minute they'd rush outside, in a hurry whilst laughing.
Eve witnessed this first hand, and saw an adorable boy who had platinum blonde hair, and aqua blue eyes. Simultaneously, Eve's eyes sparkled whilst watching the boy laugh with his family whilst watching him charge at them with a stick.
The next month, she started nursery, and the same platinum haired boy was there, and they instantly connected. Although Eve was very quiet as she could barely speak, this changed drastically overtime. To say she could barely form sentences when she was adopted, she was making astronomical progress, and honestly, this was thanks to Ivan. He truly didn't realise the impact he had on her.
As Eve made friends, she finally felt at peace. She was home, she was safe. However, she had to confirm she was truly safe by telling her parents her true power - her class.
One day after she got home from school, she approached both her parents who were sat down and told them she had important news, and almost instantly she was teased by both her parents, and Lee too who came out of nowhere.
"Did you finally confess to Ivan? Hahah!". The whole house erupted in laughter until Eve became fuming.
"Shut up! It's really really really important!". Despite her improvements in speaking, she still spoke like a young child, since in essence that's what she was.
"Okay, then tell us". Mark instantly started smiling.
Eve prepped herself, and instantly blurted it out. "I'm a Legendary Farmer Candidate!". Eve went bright red, not knowing what their reactions would be. Would they disown her, since she would eventually cause trouble whether she liked it or not?
The house was startled, but they thought it may be something along those lines, what else would a 2 year old have to say? That she can finally go to the toilet on her own?
"So what? You're still our Daughter, and you have Lee to protect you!". Robin instantly went to hug Eve, whilst her brother blushed.
"Protect? Me?". Eve was confused, she was a Legendary Candidate! No one needed to protect her! She could protect herself, well that's at least what she thought, she didn't realise what a Farmers duty actually was despite enjoying tending to carrots.
Both Robin and Mark saw the confusion on her face, and looked at each other and shook their heads. Now was not the time to burst her bubble, she doesn't need to know yet.
*Present*
"I'll just say it! I'm a Legendary Farmer Candidate! If you truly want to stay with me for the rest of my life, then you need to except the danger!". The last part was something Eve said to make it light-hearted as she was aware that this whole Legendary Candidate thing was important, although she never truly grasped the danger, unlike Ivan who had it drilled into him since he was born.
Ivan completely ignored the fact that she was a Legend Candidate, and instantly was annoyed at what she followed with.
"Excuse me? Me, stay with you? You've got it wrong! You've been attached to my hip since the day we met!". Ivan laughed at himself as he knew this was her weak spot.
"Shut up! Well, what do you say about me being more important than you?". Eve tried to strike back, but only to be met with a wall.
"More important? Aha! I'm a Legendary Druid Candidate!". Although they were in a middle of a mini argument, Eve's eyes glistened and completely avoided the argument, she truly was one dimensional.
"WAIT REALLY? Does that mean I'm not alone?". This was gigantic relief for her, she assumed that nobody would want to be around her when she told anyone her class, since it would only bring danger.
"Even if I wasn't a Candidate, do you really think I would've left you alone? Anyways, we need to tell our parents! We could get special training!". Ivan was so excited! He loved to learn, especially things related to mana!
"Wait, we have school though. We're going to be late on top of that!".
"It's fine, this is way more important, let's race, tell your parents to come to my house! I think my parents are quite knowledgeable about these sort of things". Ivan didn't know the pure amount of research they did when he was an infant, but he knew that they were very smart! Well, to Ivan at least.
Both children ran at max speed, and called both their parents about this exciting news!
Over the years, Robin and Sam bonded, as well as Liam and Mark, but not to their extent. This was mainly thanks to their children's friendships, as all they would hear after school is how great one another is, but of course, how could Ivan let Eve know he was speaking about her in such high regard? He could never!
"Mum, Dad! Come to Ivan's house! It's very important, I'll meet you there! Also, blame Ivan not me for not going to school". Eve giggled and wandered to Ivan's house.
They were about to scold her, but despite how bashful she is, she isn't one to lie about serious topics.
As both of Eve's parents apologised for the rude interruption by Eve, they refuted as Ivan had told them about it.
"Well, to think both our children would be Legend Candidates, how great is that?". Liam laughed but he forgot to clarify that they had separate classes, so both Mark and Robin went on defence mode.
Sam quickly understood. "Misunderstanding! Ivan isn't a Farmer, he's a Druid! Actually, we want to talk about our children's future, since as you know Farmers are a bit different".
Both parents instantly sighed relief, and then became serious.
"We know, we never told her since we never thought it was important, but I guess it is now, since I'm assuming Ivan wants to get far in life correct?".
Robin laughed to herself, she knew Eve better than anyone in this room, and Eve would definitely follow Ivan, it's almost a guarantee.
"What are you saying Mum? What do you mean?". Eve was beyond confused.
Mark stepped up, and was beyond blunt to his 4 year old.
"Are you willing to kill around 20 to 100 innocent lives to follow Ivan in his path?".
Everyone in the room was in complete awe, especially Eve.
Sam and Liam didn't realise he would be so blunt! He thought he'd at least beat around the bush.
