Everyone on the chat looks around pondering what Black just said.
Camp Red: How much of the Territory will you be taking.
Camp Black: As far as Gypsy River. There are people who make camp between the shields. Infected hate it. The original residents will be returned and given homes in between shields. It's safe from the Infected because they hate the shields.
Camp Diamond: They used to be close with Camp Royal. Any news about that?
Camp Royal: Yes, we'll taking the fourth territory. There will still be a city left behind. Murasaki has decided to take the city into their own territory and they will have people live there. It can house up to 500 homes, but Murasaki will be taking a maximum of 50 people. Between Shields there's enough space for 100 people. That means 400 people will receive homes.
Camp Lana: What's the requirement to live in those camps between shields.
Camp Royal: A rescue mission to save all the people without homes. There are people who don't live in Camps or a house. They prefer to live outside and scavenge. They will be placed in those areas. There's no houses left to scavenge they will die living the way they do, and after Winter many of the Infected will be dead.
Camp Serbia: How?
Camp Royal: People use blue or purple mist purifiers to keep them away and enjoy at least an hour outside their houses. We've noticed cities doing that together that at the same time they sit outside mingling with each other. Other cities bought the 100 stone shield to cover their city. They still have Infected inside the shield and they are dying with nowhere to run when the entire neighborhood has the purifiers on at the same time.
Camp Red: So cities are now grouping themselves leaving Scavengers with nowhere to hide.
Camp Royal: Yes, there aren't that many. They are around 100 nothing more than that.
Camp Lana: What you're saying is that these Scavengers will live between the shields. Who will live in the new space Murasaki has?
Camp Black: The original settlers that were moved from the area this winter. After Winter they will live in the city.
Camp Lana: Do you have any idea what the infrastructure in rubble city used to look like?
Camp Black: Yes we have the blue prints of what the place will look like right after. Rubble city had alot of housing. Not as large as the ones in Stark but large enough for families.
Camp Flint: How many people will you be allowing into your camp.
Camp Black: Murasaki is deciding that. They can see into the future so I left the decision to them. Rubble city was originally for soldiers of Stark. It has a base with weapons and eyes on all the other cities. There's technology here that I can use to help people.
Camp Lana: So they moved you there for your power and to help other people with the secrets of that time?
Camp Black: Exactly.
Camp Diamond: Royal what about your city?
Camp Royal: I have 500 people in my camp. My territory is all housing and important facilities. I have alot of farms in my camp so I'll be having farm animals like New Moon Camp.
Camp Sapphire: Have you been inside New Moon Camp?
Camp Royal: No, Kyle is keeping to himself this winter.
Camp Red: Which camp is the largest excluding the extra territory Murasaki will be adding.
Camp Black: Royal city. That's what Royal territory will be called. When you look at your phone Comms it would have changed after Winter
Camp Mint: What will your camps be selling?
Camp Black: We're not allowed to make our items for sale. We will give freely as we have been given freely. Nothing from us will be for sale.
Camp Royal: I have nothing but to manage 599 people. Anyway time to go.

The chat ends and everyone checks their comms to see how large a space each camp will get.
At Camp Lana, a females only Camp she notices that there is a large river between her and where Camp Black will end. They are on the other side of Gypsy River.
"Look, if we stay here for winter we might bargain our territory for room inside." Lana says showing everyone the map.
"That's a great idea. I sure would like a comfy house for my daughter. It looked so comfortable for Missy's son."
"It was a lovely garden. I would certainly appreciate the new space. I'll put up a white flag for the shield instead of moving."
"Excellent ladies. How's my brother doing on his end?" Lana asks.
"Larva already has a shield installed. It looks like he's covered the city near him. I think I see Murasaki there Lana."
Lana rushes to see.
~~~
Larva thanks Toya and Chronos helping him cover the city, "Infected were chased out of the city after I asked them to use their purifiers to chase them out. This is our young healer. Sakura, she makes the purple mist purifiers in our city. Other healers have been teaching their healers this technique."
Toya smiles looking at the girl with the familiar purple hair, "She has the same hair as our young healer at home. Split will notify us when he has vaccinated the city. We were asked to turn back time on your city, it connects to our waterfall. That big open space is where it starts. We need it for the water to flow."
Larva nods, "Please, we're more than ready. I'll make the announcement." He goes inside his house. He was protecting the city with his own power. A white circle that automatically portaled Infected away but let people into the city. He announces that Murasaki will be turning back time on the town and expanding the territory. Everyone must leave their houses and go wait in line for the vaccine.
Split in the city still setting up with Luna is overwhelmed when the people run out of their houses immediately.
Aira flies up towards the shield with the papers and time chip. It will take a while to set up.
Rex looks around to make sure no one is in the houses. He meets a girl afraid to leave the house holding a baby, "Hey, what's wrong?"
"My sister is not back yet. She left last night and didn't come back." She says holding the baby.
Rex takes the baby, "Come with me. Everyone is over there, you might find her there." He comes with the children and they find their sister.
"Charlie, I thought you left us." The little girl says to her sister.
"I had to go talk to mom. She's not coming here. I wish we could move to a better place you guys, she is done with us." The female says hugging her little sister.
"I'm sorry about my sister's stupid rule Charlie." Larva says, upset they were kicked out because their mother had a son, "Can they come with you guys? Just them." Larva says.
Mira nods, "Yup, is everyone out of the houses?
"Jet and Jake texted me yes." Rex replies.
Aira activates the shield as soon as it's done.
Lana blinks a few times when there is a shield literally right next to hers. She lowers her shield but Larva's shield doesn't move any further
Everyone inside the shield looks at the houses on the mountain. They are still the same just look better.
Once everyone has received the vaccine they give Larva a bracelet to put on himself and put bracelets on everyone else.
Except Charlie and her siblings who have different bracelets.
"These will help you access your house's lower level. Your houses are built differently because this was known as a rainy town supplying water throughout the entire country. Your house number is on your bracelet please enter the right house." Toya says to everyone.
The people enter their houses and the House looks the same just clean and new.
Toya communicates with everyone via bracelet and tells them that in the hallway there's a wall and a square on the floor. They can now access the underground house.
The doors open when the wrist band is close to the square and a flight of stairs are revealed.
When taking the stairs down there's revealed a room with a kitchen and empty pantry.
"Your pantry will be filled with food soon." Toya says, "Please take the stairs down." They all go down and it's a living room and dining room and there's a door.
Everyone opens the door and there they are outside seeing everyone else as well.
"There's a mall and castle. That's where Larva will stay and manage the camp from." Chronos says rewinding the mall, "Everything you need is here, every 3 months the shield will flash and restock your supplies. The houses go deeper underground. Go look." He says.
Everyone goes inside and they find the obvious door this time.
They go under and there is water with fishes under. There are bedrooms down here.
"The rainy weather is caused by the storm fish that live in this area. To close your bedroom window simply click the red button next to the window. This is here because the water can sometimes rise so high it floods the city. When it rains the houses above ground will lock and you can live down here." Mira says enjoying the scenery.
"The houses are powered by the water. No water means no power. This place used to be for water breathers, people that can breathe underwater. There's a town under water." Toya says showing them images of the place and people.
"Don't be alarmed. They are time manipulators. Lily turned back time to when they froze themselves in time until now. For them it's only been a second since they slept. They are the guardians of this place don't be alarmed by them." Chronos says.
"How could they have known they would be saved?" Aira asks.
"They didn't. They just had faith. They trusted that things would be better again. Moving forward they will ..." Toya looks at June walk through the window.
June swims towards the people and they circle him.
"How long have we been asleep. June."
"Over 50 years, how do you know my name?" He asks.
"Is it over?" A girl asks.
"Come see for yourself." He swims out of the water and into the house. He's surprised his clothes are dry.
The group gather in the house, there's not that many of them.
"We greet you, what is the news?"
"What year is it?"
"5089." Toya says.
"It's been 50 generations not years. More than a thousand years have passed." An old woman says.
"She knew my name." June says.
"That's why he tried to kill you. June you have a time ability. He must be trying to stop the era of the Infected from ending." Mira says.
"Why Aira?" June asks.
"Excuse them. I'm Toya Murasaki. We are planning on restoring the Stark water supply at the end of winter. We put people in your houses, I hope you don't mind." Toya says rubbing his neck feeling awkward.
The old lady laughs, "These are not for us. We live under. We built this place for the half breeds. They can only breathe water for a certain amount of time. You do not have our time power, but it is in your genes. Like Aira." She points at Aira.
A woman touches Luna's hair, "Another half breed. Our half breeds have this hair." She circles Dodge, "A foreigner. You smell like the waters of the Golden Island. We apologize for the tragedy that sunk your island. We are the guardians of Stark island. We keep the island afloat. Your guardians turned on you and sunk the place. We are glad there are surviving descendants." The girl bows.
She circles Rex and Toya, "Ohh, Stark's. You are built like Royalty. We are glad our efforts to save the baby weren't in vain. Alpha's."
Rex and Toya look at each other confused and then glare at each other.
"You can't have two alpha's in one pack. You have 3." She points at June, "As the last surviving male. Being the Alpha is your birth right. You don't have to do anything like live with us. Just accept the title and your full power will be awakened."
June looks at Mira who nods
"Yup. They're telling the truth. Just go while we finish up."
Luna looks away when a girl won't stop staring at her.
"You're making her uncomfortable." Toya snaps.
"Dude, watch your temper." Sharon says.
"Ohhhh, look. A giant." A girl says, "Your people helped us build this city."
Sharon looks at her confused, "Are you like mermaids or something?" He kicks her foot to be sure.
Sarah smacks him on the back of the head, "Apologize."
"I was just making sure they don't have fish tails. Mermaids are man eaters. In case you haven't noticed woman. I am a man." Sharon says.
Everyone laughs at Sharon.
"We do not eat men. They stayed behind in the house. They'll be happy to meet June. Looks like his ancestor Tatia. We should hurry." They take June and leave.
Accept one still looking at Luna.
"Another Alpha. Wish right?" The girl says.
Luna nods, "My father is still alive."
The girl nods, "He stopped by. We talked to him. He wanted to be frozen in time with us. But your camp needed him more. He left you supplies but 3 years ago stopped. He's hiding from him. The island destroyer."
"Island? Not just time users?" Mira asks.
"His goal is for war to destroy an island. He tried to trick us into flooding Stark. It didn't work. This monstrous curse got in his way. However I sense you are confusing the island destroyer for someone else. You have more than one enemy."
"What about the Blessing event that gave people their powers?" Dodge asks.
"That was done so the Alpha's could survive. The original Infected were powerful. With years of waging war they have finally weakened. I can feel the curses energy thinning."
"The infected are a curse?"
"Yes, other lands don't have powers like we do. So they draw power from evil forces. This island destroy is a demon possessed skin suit. Stark has been under a curse, but now we have been built even stronger. I sense foreigners with malicious intent."
"We know about them. They will die soon. It's the hunter we are afraid of." Mira says.
"I see, a very deep secret you must all keep. He cannot do anything to you, he can only cause harm by manipulating people to fight amongst themselves. You will be fine if you don't fight amongst yourselves." She jumps into the water.
~~~
June comes out of the water with his birth mark glowing. Everyone is already done and waiting for him. He goes to the surface and it's raining.
"We will need you to cover more territory or this New Moon place will flood. The Stark city ends here. All this is the river. It will rain in a week. You must hurry." The old woman clarifies a myth for them.
"We'll see you soon. I'm sure you'd like June to visit." Mira says ready to go home and sleep.
Lana knocks on the shield for her brother to let her in, but no one can hear her under ground in their houses.

Colin looks at the work load on his table and now they must extend before Winter, "Dammit. Just do it. Lily you're handling this. I have my hands full."
Lily nods and tells the kids to rest. They will start tomorrow.
