Prologue and Chapter 1
Prologue:
The Digital World, Mid 2000.
After many months of terror and chaos in the Digital World, things were finally settling down.
The region of the Digital World equivalent to Argentina had had many factions of different digimon fighting each other on a struggle to get the seat of power of the area that had been left open.
Some were small and ended really fast or were just absorbed by joining other movements, other fought each other till they disappeared or joined other movements.
Finally, only two factions remained.
One faction, that called themselves the federative digimon, believed that every town and city in the area had to have autonomy, while still respecting a central figure of power. This movement had the most followers, every digimon at child level and below for starters, most of the adult level digimon and some perfection level digimon too.
The other faction, which called themselves the united digimon, believed that there must be a central form of government, this central form of government was to be located in the biggest and most powerful city, and the rest of the cities, and their leaders, would have to obey its orders no matter what. This movement had considerably less followes than the other, almost every perfection level digimon, and that was it.
However both of this movements agreed on a truce, so as to bring back some sanity and order to a chaos struck land. Both factions decided to form a congress with different representatives, then they would agree on laws and rules for the area that all the different small cities that were inside the vast area of the Digital World that they were in had to obey.
Is it here where the story begins...
Chapter 1
A boy wearing a gray shirt, black pants and black tennis shoes was walking down a dirt road with a walking candlestick following him. They were David Albornoz, a Digi-Destined, and Candmon, his partner.
David, had been living in the Digital World for over half a year, during that time him and Candmon had been walking around the Digital World, with no place to go.
They worked here and there in various jobs to buy their food, and when they couldn't find anything, they tried to find food anywhere they could.
They were now heading for a big farm. According to some information they were able to pick up around this area, the digimon that owned this farm usually gave jobs to anyone that was willing to work hard.
Finally, David and Candmon reached the wooden farm's gate. "Well, what now?" asked Candmon.
"I don't know. I don't see anyway to call someone to come let us in," replied David, "Do we just enter or what?"
"Hello there, strangers."
David and Candmon turned to where they heard that voice. Behind them was standing a humanoid beast like creature with legs and feet like a bird's, a Silphymon, which was carrying a rather large bag over his right shoulder. "Can I help you?" asked the digimon.
"Huh, yeah. We were going to go ask for a job at this farm. Do you know who we should talk to for this?" asked David.
Silphymon smiled, "Sure. You can talk to me. I am Silphymon, and this is my farm." Silphymon offered his hand to David.
David shook Silphymon's hand. "Hello, I am David Albornoz, and this is Candmon."
"Hello." said Candmon.
"Okay then David, Candmon. I'll be happy to give you work, we're always in need of help. But first things first, you look like you could use a bath and a warm meal. Do you have a place to stay?" asked Silphymon.
David shook his head, "No, I don't. But don't worry about it, we..."
Silphymon interrupted him. "Nonsense. Come in, I'll let you take a bath and then you'll eat dinner with us." He opened the gates. "Come this way."
"Do you need some help with that bag?" asked David. "It looks heavy."
"Out of the question. Right now, you are my guest, it would be impolite of me to make you carry it. If you start working for me, then you can carry all the bags you want for me, but not now," was Silphymon's answer as he entered the farm's grounds.
David and Candmon followed him soon afterwards.
David was surprised at Silphymon's hospitality. He didn't know him, yet he offered him food and a place to stay for the night.
The three of them walked across the wide lands of Silphymon's farm. It was late already, so everyone else must have gone by now.
After about ten or fifteen minutes of walking, Silphymon, David and Candmon reached a house. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Still, it looked very comfortable.
"I'm back," said Silphymon as he entered his house, followed by David and Candmon.
An Angewomon walked into the room from an adjacent room. "Welcome back dear... I see that you brought home some guests." said the angel like Digimon when she saw David and Candmon.
"Yes, this are David Albornoz and Candmon. They are looking for a job." Silphymon then turned to look at David and Candmon, "David, Candmon, this is Angewomon, my mate."
"Pleased to meet you," said David to Angewomon.
"Me too," added Candmon.
"The pleasure is all mine, welcome to our home." replied Angewomon.
"The bathroom is that way, you can take a shower before dinner." said Silphymon to David and Candmon, signaling the direction with his free hand.
"Thank you, we'll be right back." replied David, as he and Candmon walked over to the direction that Silphymon had pointed at.
"Don't take too long, dinner will be ready soon." called Angewomon before David and Candmon exited the room towards the bathroom.
The bath had been really refreshing, and the stew that they ate for dinner was just what David and Candmon needed after so many days on the road.
After dinner, Silphymon had offered David a job at his farm, and asked the Digi-Destined boy if he could start the next day. David and Candmon accepted immediately.
Right now, David and Candmon were inside the farm's storage building.
When Silphymon found out that David and Candmon did not have a place to spend the night in, he welcomed him into using the farm's storage building to sleep in.
Both David and Candmon were extremely grateful with Silphymon, and happily accepted the digimon's hospitality.
They had to use flour bags as pillows and hay as mattresses, but it was way better than to sleeping out in the open.
David and Candmon slept better than they had done in many days, and they were more than ready for the first day of work at Silphymon's farm.
