Avon was was confused. 'Chosen by the planet? It awoke? What's going on and who's the woman speaking? Is this a dream or did I die in the earthquake earlier...What about my parents are they safe? I need to go home first!'
Just as Avon was thinking about his next move the female voice could be hear again "I am sure all you who survived are in a state of shock and denial right now. You may not believe what is happening, but believe me it will be in the best of your interests to listen to me carefully. I will reveal everything soon but know this first: Your test is still not over. Though none of you will die now for failing to answer correctly. Please prepare yourselves and be ready."
Avon didn't know what to do, whether to trust this invisible natural loudspeaker woman or just ignore everything. To his surprise again a question, a thought that was not his popped into his mind. 'Maturity, intelligence and character: Are they related or independent of each other'
Now this surprised Avon. This was something he actually contemplated over for a good time. He observed the actions and personalities of the people around him and read about many great historical personalities and had reached a conclusion: Smartness, Personality and maturity are unrelated. He was not sure about his answer but because the question came directly into his mind he ended up answering, with just a thought: 'Independent'
The very next moment strong wind started circling and spiraling around him, forming a tornado with him at the center. The tornado became huge in the blink of an eye and as though it was conscious, it lifted Avon up and started moving at a great speed destroying everything in its path but keeping Avon completely safe.
Bewildered Avon tried to calm himself. 'This is crazy. I can't do anything now, let's leave it to fate. This is beyond comprehension.'
Hence, having surrendered himself to fate Avon let the tornado carry him. Moving at an unbelievable speed, after about 15 minutes the tornado arrived near the base of a mountain.
'There are only 2 mountain ranges on this continent.....the Bouvo and the Parvat ranges...which one is is this?' though Avon. Though he had already guessed which one it was. 'No one's allowed to climb the Parvat range's mountains and considering all that's happening, no matter how unrelated these matters may seem, the mountain before me must of Parvat range.'
The wind now grew even stronger and started carrying him towards the mountain top. 'What's the name of this mountain though..' Avon thought calmly, he had already accepted his fate, so nothing surprised him anymore. The wind sped up and soon he reached the mountain top. 'The air is supposed to be thinner up here but it seems this wind that's carrying me is maintaining the air pressure. I can breathe well. No shortage of Oxygen.'
The wind did not stop though and continued deeper into the range. Flying over the mountains now, Avon noticed something unusual. At the center of the ranges there was a huge flat area, It seemed as though a mountain was cut at its base.
The wind carried Avon over to the flat area and dispersed. Avon looked around and saw a another person-carrying tornado coming towards where he was. After the wind dispersed and a woman stepped out. Avon estimated her to be in her late 20's. She had black silky hair and black eyes. Her height was pretty much the similar to Avon. Unlike him she seemed to be very fit. He hair was let loose and fell till her waist. She didn't seem to have any make-up on her face yet she looked very beautiful.
The woman had a calm look on her face and looked at Avon, their eyes met and as they were about to walk towards each other, another woman descended to where they were. She had white hair with a strip of black hair falling form the top left of her face. Her hair was barely shoulder length. She was the most beautiful woman Avon had seen in his entire life. No celebrity could even be compared to her. The woman was slightly taller than Avon and was wearing an elegant long black dress with huge white rose design at the left above the waist.
She then spoke to them and her voice was exactly like the one which they had heard earlier ,'So there are just two huh...well, pleased to meet you. I am Reveria, please introduce yourselves.'
Reveria looked like a mature woman. She looked at the woman who arrived after Avon to hear her introduction first.
"My name is Laia. Please tell us what is happening".
"I will, do not worry." Then Reveria looked at Avon. "I am Avon". Reveria then looked at both of them for a while with calculating eyes and said "Your planet, Earth as you call it, has awakened. Every planet undergoes and awakening after meeting two conditions. Those are: first, the life on the planet must reach a basic intellectual level required by the planet. Second, The planet comes in contact with Mana. After awakening, the planet gains partial consciousness. Such a planet can be bonded with, connected with by a person to unleash it's full potential. The person who bonds with the planet then becomes its master. Clear?"
Avon and Laia both nodded.
"Once the planet has been bonded with, it decides to discard the certain of its lifeforms so that the ones surviving can be nurtured to their best. Each planet has its own way of selecting the ones who survive, your planet's was a bit harsh though. You see, mindset is very important here. Your planet wants to help you reach the absolute peak of everything. That's right everything. Only with a humble personality and the courage to always take right approach will help you reach the peak, only with the right mindset this can be achieved. So your planet first discarded of though who arrogantly thought of themselves greater than nature and then based on the second question, chose you two as the one who will reach awaken first and open the path for the rest. . Clear?"
Both nodded again but this time both had confused expressions and Avon opened his mouth before Lisa and said " Since the selection has already happened does this mean our planet has bonded with-"
"Me" Reveria completed the sentence." Now I am the master of your planet."
