100 Pushups (2 of 2)
...In the village they introduced our heroes to someone who was probably an elder, judging by his appearance. He approached and covered Sebastien's ears with his hands, Sebastien thought it was something like a tribal greeting and almost reached to cover the elder's ears to return the favor but suddenly his mind became clear and he could understand when the nearby tribal guys were discussing. While he was standing there shocked, the elder approached Rouge and did the same magical pass.
The elder explained that they arrived to the Mystic Archipelago, a place on Earth that couldn't be reached by regular sailors. Rouge and Sebastien had no idea there was such a land, but it was a beautiful tropical place, so they didn't bother to worry. Instead they proceeded with their plan and began the training. They also built a tree house because they saw that the villagers live in tree houses.
They quickly became popular among the friendly villagers who previously had no knowledge of contortionism and were really surprised at Rouge's flexibility. They had a few ritual dances where a bit of flexibility was shown but it wasn't anywhere as impressive as Rouge's, so they thought he must have magical powers. Rouge said he knows nothing about magic but his flexibility comes from the fact that his mom trained him every day since the earliest childhood. He suggested to the village's elder that they should pick a few talented kids around 7 years of age and start training them, in a few years they'd become amazing contortionists, maybe even better than himself. So without even knowing it, Rouge founded a whole new tradition in this tribe that will be carefully kept for centuries to come.
Rouge and Sebastien themselves stayed faithful to their training plans and this tribal island was a simply ideal place for the Spartan lifestyle that they were looking for, and they didn't have to wear clothes at all, just like real Spartans. Let's hope they won't panic when they finally realize that returning to the real world wouldn't be easy.
