With his family around, Max was forced to bring out the clone and play the double role of Lord Ravan and Max Rajput simultaneously.
The clone took the mask and became the Lord, while he himself enjoyed some leisure time with his family as he took them on tour around the palace grounds and talked about nothing in particular.
There was a great war looking over his head, but having spent decades in isolation Max now understood better than ever that there was always going to be wars and emergencies, what he needed to do however was make the most of the moments he got between these events.
He was pleasantly surprised at how strong the children were growing up to be as he took all three of them in his lap and tickled them for fun.
Although their kicks and punches from the tickling felt light to him, he realised that the power behind them was not something children so young should have.
