Ryan who was sitting on the couch in front of the girls was just finishing showing off his recruitment plan. The girls provided some feedback as to some areas they can go to try and bring back some reliable people. After reaching an agreement, Ryan sends a quick message to Arcadia via a quick prayer.

No less than 2 minutes after receiving his request, she shows up outside the house. They then request portals to two different states. The sisters walk through a portal and head to Deland, and Ryan walks through his portal to Ala-Ash. Arcadia who had nothing else better to do, decides to follow him through.

“So, what are we doing?” Arcadia asks him while magically changing her outfit and hair back to its default state.

“Remember when we defended the town of Edough from an attack from Palmlandia not that long ago? Well, I know they are going to have displaced people while the town rebuilds. I want to use those people for our “Cause” Ryan says while climbing to the top of a steep hill. When he sees the city in the horizon he looks around and spots the person he was looking for. He then motions Arcadia to follow him into town. As she follows him, she notices several starving kids crying to their parents. She walks away from them and secretly grows a variety of food by her feet. She then picks them up and carries them over to the children and drops everything right in front of them. The kids then scurry over to the pile and snatch everything they could. She smiles at them and then chooses to go and find Ryan.

As she enters a through a destroyed city wall, she sees a man badly injured and kindly heals him up. He looks over at Arcadia in disbelief. He then gets up and smiles at her. She then pulls out an apple and tosses it his way. She then walks over to Ryan who was having an engaging conversation with Danylko.

“We did indeed finish our quest with the equipment you lent us” Ryan replies to him.

“That is great news! I am glad to hear that” Danylko says while escorting Ryan to a quieter area.

“Danylko, I will just get to point as to why I have come and visited you today. I need all of your poor and displaced citizens that are homeless, or in dire straits. I need them for three weeks max” Ryan says while crossing his arms.

“What reason, may I Ask” Danylko asks appearing confused.

“Need them to become temporary citizens of Tourterra. I’m going to be pulling some Mriya level trickery” Ryan hints at him.

“I mean If you want to take them off our hands you may. I still feel that we are still in debt for your aid. But I can’t simply order them to come with you, you need to get them to come with on their own terms. Danylko says while walking back toward the congested part of city and toward a burnt down defense wall.

“Persuading them will not be that hard. I mean who doesn’t want to live rent free in Tourterra for a couple of weeks? I have yet to meet someone who hates the beach” Ryan says sarcastically.

“Personally, with an offer like that I would honestly ditch this town myself and take you up on your offer. But I am in charge of rebuilding the city. Danylko says retrieving a roster.

“How many people would you say you would be able to lend me?” Ryan asks persuasively.

“Our aftermath census had a count of 78 homeless. Danylko says while blowing a horn.

“That is perfect! That’s two-thirds of my quota” Ryan says with a smile.

Everyone who was working, hears the horn and starts walking toward the middle the town square. When everyone lines up around Danylko, He calls forth all those who have lost their homes from the recent invasion. As the victims step forward, Danylko smiles at them and points to Ryan.

“Greetings everyone” Ryan says in a kind and friendly tone with a huge smile on his face. Who wants to take a little vacation?”

Meanwhile over in Flagpole, Wyozonia the others were waiting to head inside the conference room when Queen Lake teleports in with her nosey “Shadows” in tow behind her. Zephyr sees the men who had notebooks in their hands and decides to mess with them.

“You all look tired. Did you all get any sleep at all last night?” Zephyr teases. All of the men glare in rage at her. Everyone then walks into the room and the men try to follow them in.

Arianna turns around and stops them from entering.

“You men need to stay out. My daughter has a Rash on her bosom that needs to be checked out by us woman. You all need to sit out here again” Arianna says rudely to the Deland officials.

then shoots her mom an angry and embarrassed look.

“Umm Lake. We had an agreement on letting us into this meeting” One of the advisors shouted to her.

“I’m not preventing you. She is". She says while pointing to Arianna.

"Look We are going to check out this girls Rear and give her our opinion and then we will let you in. Just Give us 4 minutes” Lake replies back while slamming the door behind them.

Zephyr then removes her belt from her pants and shakes it to make it's metallic buckles rattle to emulate the sound of her taking off her pants, then everyone scurries over to the desk. Zephyr and Alex then pull out a pre-written piece of paper and slides it on over to Lake with their plans. Lake quickly reads it and scribbles a reference to Law 41.182 and polling law: 155.41 and a brief summary of their definition on a blank piece of paper. She then Underlines it with the words “Your House is out of their reach. Liz controls the county so let them come. Use Ana Island if you need an Overflow. I am 100% on board with this temporary arrangement” Lake writes.

Alex then hands her a piece of paper with a basic plan on the logistics of removing the bee from the country without anyone noticing. On paper she wrote “I’ll run home and pull a favor with my higher up from the Faterra military and make them send out a 3rd party group to Tourterra that’s to be sent over to Deland. Imports/deliveries from other Black States pass through customs without hassle. A white state like yours delivering to Deland will be stopped and searched before entering which could blow out plan completely”

Arianna then requests the papers Lake just read to come to her so she can read them. Upon them sliding over the sheets Arianna then a makes a fake concerned noise sound effect. “My God honey, That’s a huge Rash. Do you bath or shower regularly? How often to do you wipe your ass?” Arianna says out loud loudly toward the door.

Zephyr then looks over at her mother and glares at her. “I do it every other time I go” Zephyr replies calmly back while making an Angry face toward her mother.

Alex makes smile and to avoid laughing, she says “Oh my Zephyr, that could be your problem. Your supposed to wipe every time you go” Alex blurts randomly out toward the door.

Zephyr then looks at Alex and her mother and gives them the finger.

They can hear the men on the other side of the door losing it.

Arianna then writes on the piece of paper, “That’s a good idea but I like Faterra, I don’t want them getting caught up in the paper trail if something should happen. I’ll request a pickup from here. We are technically still a black state even though we all hate Yulee, but Mriya wouldn’t DARE attempt to start a confrontation with us.”

Zephyr then shouts, “So How do I cure this?” While she Writes down “Now Regarding Breanna’s status, if she gets caught between here and now, does she get extradited to Deland, or can we house her in Tourterra until she gets a Trial?” She then slides the paper down the table.

Lake and Arianna then look at what she wrote and Lake writes “I’ll don’t know. I’ll ask them after you all leave” Lake then shouts: You know what dear, go to a local apothecary they may have something for that” Zephyr then puts her belt back on and balls up her fist and shakes it in anger at everyone in the room. She then grabs the papers off the table and sticks them in her pants while she rattles her belt loudly.

“Well thanks for the advice mom. I love you. I guess we will be leaving now” Zephyr says putting her belt on as loudly as possible and shooting her mother the finger once more. Alex then opens the door, and they all walk out acting all normal. As soon as they leave the men enter the room and throw their clipboard on the table.

They make out the notes: that said Princess Thickmane has a rash on her ass and also the note “She doesn’t wipe enough”

The men then take a seat and get to business.

“Look we need to know the location of Breanna Stark. Do you have any new information on her whereabouts Queen Thickmane?” One of the lead men asks in a hurry.

“No, I do not, but what are you going to do in the event she is discovered. Is she going to be extradited to Deland?” Arianna asks calmly.

“That is our plan, yes” He replies.

“No wait. The crimes occurred in MY kingdom; I want the girl to stand trial in the town the murders took place at. I’m not going to authorize her to be extradited into your custody in the event she is found.” Lake says firmly.

The senior advisor then looks at her with confusion.

“Lake, no. That is not what “WE” “Agreed” on” The man says.

Arianna then acts confused and follows along. “Wait, Lake what is going on? What did you agree to?”

Lake then looks her in the eyes and shouts: “It’s a private matter Arianna. Do not worry about it” she said while glaring at her.

Arianna then stands up and backs her chair up. The chair then screeches along the floor and she walks over to Lake feeling offended.

“Look here. If you want me to redirect my resources to finding a wanted girl, you need to be honest with me. What is going on?” Arianna expresses firmly.

“It’s a private matter I am not at liberty to discuss with you. Look If you find the girl return her to my kingdom to stand trial. I think this conversation is over” Lake says with haste and anger.

Arianna who was still “Playing Along” then rolls her eyes at Lake. “You know what, I think this meeting is over. Get out of my castle. IF I find the girl, I will personally deliver her to your castle. This meeting is over” Arianna shouts with an attitude while pointing to the door. Everyone then gets up and starts walking out. The lead consul then writes down on his notes about the conclusion of the meeting. Everyone then exits the room.

Arianna turns down the hall away from everyone and hunts down one of her servants.

“Amberlyn, I need you to hunt down a transport company. I have a “dragon cage” that needs to be shipped to Tourterra” she orders her servant as she notices Keomi slip past her dawning a black French maids’ outfit and fake cat ears. She was walking down the hallways with a full plate of food headed toward her husband’s location.

Arianna then gets excited from the aroma in the air. “Keomi, what do you have there?” Arianna asks curiously.

“I have sushi Your highness! Tuna, Wide Fin, and Blood Drum.” She replies to her.

Arianna smiles and hustles away from Amberlyn and follows Keomi to her husband’s location.

Meanwhile back over in Edough, Ryan just sweet talked 72 war-torn homeless people into taking a sweet trip to Tourterra for a few weeks. The other 6 people who declined the offer wanted to help the town they were apart of rebuild in any way they could.

Arcadia was opening up a portal in the background while these people started heading back to their destroyed homes to grab their bare essentials for a few weeks. When everyone met back up at Ryan, they all stared at Arcadia’s Green portal suspiciously.

“What is glowing thing?” A villager asked.

“Oh, this is a portal. It will teleport you to Tourterra” Arcadia replies confidently back to the confused man.

“It Teleport magic? Me don’t trust it. Never seen magic like that before” The man says. A few people in the background then starts talking and whispering among themselves.

“It’s Safe to use. I can assure you” Arcadia replies back to the man.

“Prove it. You go through” he says.

Arcadia smiles and redirects the destination of the portal 500 yards parallel to the crowd. She then walks through it and comes out the other end. People see this and see her dart back through that portal to her original position. People then start whispering among themselves even louder.

“It’s safe I assure you. Here I will set it to take you to Tourterra” Arcadia says as she adjusts the destination of it magically.

“How much?” The man now asks.

“Absolutely free!” Arcadia replies with a giant smile on her face. The minute she said that the mob of people start running as fast as they can into the portal. Ryan and Arcadia smile at each other and casually walks through it last.

The people all come out in front of the Mansion and Misty who was inside the house looking at the road was confused as to what was happening. One minute she could see the road and the next minute 72 people show up out of nowhere. Ryan then leads everyone to the backyard where the Lake was at, and walks knee high into the water and gets everyone’s attention.

“Welcome to the outskirts of Staug City! This place will be your new home for the next couple of weeks. Feel free to look around and explore the woods and land here on this property. We have a whole lot of acres on this farm sized plot of land for you all to relax on. We have free game in the forest for you all to hunt in if you want, and feel free to fish and swim in this Lake. All I do is ask that you all do not steal anything except sunshine. You are all guests hear and if you need anything just let us know. I will explain to you all what I want in return in a few days after you all get settled in” Ryan says with a smile.

All the new residents then start talking among each other some more and start setting up their tents they brought with them in the back yard. A few men then walk over to a tree and start cutting it down. Several women then eye the lake as a place to take a bath in. A lone woman bravely treads to the edge of the water and tests the water temperature with her foot. She then smiles.

“Anisa! the water is warm here! It’s not cold like in Ala-Ash!” A woman shouts. Upon hearing that the curious woman attempts to test this out by putting their hands into the water. Satisfied, everyone starts jumping in fully clothed and starts cleaning the caked-on blood, dirt, soot, and filth off of themselves. The look of freedom and happiness from everyone could be felt by Ryan and Arcadia 100 feet away. As they start out into the lake, A tree comes crashing down to the ground.

The men just felled a medium sized pine, away from the house and were cheering. Several men then start hacking away at it to gather firewood. Soon 12 women approach the house and look at Arcadia and Ryan.

“Strong men go to forest to bring back game, but we forgot spices. May we borrow?” A woman asks.

Arcadia looks at Ryan and hands off the request to him since this was not her home.

As Ryan leads the woman to the kitchen, He encounters Misty in the dining room still cleaning.

She had a look on her face that appeared frightened and confused.

Ryan walks over to her and pulls her into another room and explains to her what was going on.

“I guess you are the last one to know about this, but we are bussing in Homeless people into town to “Take care” of our problem. All these people will be here for a few weeks while we execute our plan to free the city.” Ryan whispers to her.

“Is Liz okay with this?” She whispers back.

“I am not sure. Zephyr didn’t say she was against it, but this is only for a short time” Ryan replies back to her.

“I don’t care what you all do. Just make sure Zara’s safety isn’t going to get compromised in the process” Misty states firmly.

They all then here what sounds like broken glass being dumped into a trash can. They then walk into the kitchen in a panic.

A handful of the older woman without being told decided to start putting up dishes, sweeping up debris from the recent home raid, and start folding up laundry in the next room. A younger woman in her mid-20’s had a wet cloth and began dusting off items in the living room.

“You all don’t have to do this” Ryan tells them.

“You help save town. You give us luxurious warm place to stay for few weeks, we must pay it forward now. House is dirty, so we clean” One of the women said with a broken western Ala-ash accent that resembled that of Ukrainian.

A woman then opens up the spice cupboard and pulls out three jars.

“May we borrow?” A woman asks while presenting them to Ryan at a distance.

Ryan then nods his head yes and Misty pulls him into the other room again.

“If they are going to clean, cook, and do our laundry I may not object to them staying a little longer than three weeks” Misty whispers appearing very happy about having servants at her convinces.

“Most of these people are from Edough and had gotten their homes destroyed in a battle. The city is rebuilding but I am offering those who lost almost everything to come hang out here. They all carry with them special trade skills we can use if needed” Ryan replies to her.

“Oh, so they are homeless “due to war”, not the ‘crime stricken-lazy type’ type of homeless” Misty replies with a little more understanding of the situation at hand now.

“Exactly” Ryan Says while looking out at the back yard. The men who just cut down that tree were making themselves a spit roast apparatus, and some people were getting a campfire going. Just barely in the tree line they can make out 5 men dragging a dead bear back to camp.

Ryan then shoots a smile over at Misty and crosses his arms at her. He then heads out.

As he heads out Misty’s eyes light up with excitement. She then runs upstairs and pulls out one of her favorite dresses that was damaged that she just can’t seem to fix herself.

“Hey, any one of you woman a skilled tailor?” Misty asks while broadcasting the garment to them. The woman who was about to mop the floor, smiles and approaches her. The girl who was dusting the place smiles at her mother who was approaching Misty and moves from the living room to the dining room to clean off the table. As she wipes the table clean, her mother smiles at the hole in the dress and notices all the old stitching Misty put in previously but has failed quite a few times on her. As she figures out how to fix this permanently Misty walks upstairs and brings back a tailoring kit and puts it on the table. The woman smiles then gets to work on the repair.

Not long after Ryan and Arcadia who outside and blowen away at how fast these people already got a campsite set up, and food hunted down decide to return inside. Upon their return they find Misty wearing her favorite dress, and 6 of the women sitting down and chatting over a catalog of some of the material Misty sells in her free time opened on the table while they were chatting over some wine.

Zara was nearby playing with one of the woman’s kids she just ran outside and got.

Ryan and Arcadia then decide to head over to the firepit and watch all the butchers and skinners make this 400-pound bear disappear. They both then help assisting everyone set up their tents. As they help steak poles and lines into the ground, Alex, Liz, Kannell and Zephyr all arrive home. They are all surprised at the house being spotless, and even more surprised at how many people Ryan was able to import into town on his first try. Zephyr then sits down on Liz’s bed and gives Ryan a quick kiss before unrolling a scroll onto a table in front of everyone.

“Okay. I am very surprised at how fast you were able to find all these people so abruptly Ryan. But let’s talk strategy on what to do with them” Liz says while pointing to the scroll. “IF we are going to make them vote these guys out, we need to get them registered downtown. The town council shot themselves in the foot by allowing anyone out of state to come here and register without living here for a sustained amount of time. That will work for us. Once we get this ball rolling, we will bring Breanna back here to be “Arrested.” As that occurs, we will be in the middle of a council recall election which will guarantee her safety here in Staug. After they are out, we will have a Trial for her with the locals as jury which we all know will end in our favor” Liz says while rolling up the recently passed voting ordinance.

Zephyr then stands up and smiles.

“When she is free, the “package” should be delivered, and my mom will have “Blown” a whistle. All we need to do next is assist Ryan in pulling a heist in Deland. I know what type of chaos Mriya will cause, so Ryan going in during this time will be perfect. Then when his mission is successful, we can return everyone home” Zephyr says with a huge smile on her face.

Arcadia looking outside the window leaves the room without saying anything and walks outside to the side of the house out of sight. She then grows a good-sized grove of vegetables. She then walks into the camp.

“Can you all help me gather some food up” Arcadia asks a few people. 3 men stop what they were doing and follow her to the side of the house and sees a ripe harvest. “All these are for everyone. Can you all help me bring them back to camp?” Arcadia asks them while bending over and picking up as much as she could. The men take double the amount she had in her hands and walk back to camp. They then recruit the help of others. Soon a third of the camp is dashing over to the garden and retrieving food for the camp. Those who had stew pots began taking them out and heading toward the lake for some water. Those who had their knifes out and ready to go, reached into the vegetable pile and started getting to work.

Arcadia who was ever so happy right now, chooses to take a seat on a log and watches people contribute to this feast. She can see how grateful everyone was right now. She Soon decides to make small talk with a mother holding her baby next to her.

Later on at the end of the day, everyone has a great big feast and introduces themselves to the household. People talk about what they did before the attack on the city, and the current politics of Ala-Ash. They all recall the attack and Alex and Ryan showing up and Ryan chasing away the Palmlandian’s with his actions.

After all was said and done, Ryan then tells everyone the plan for Tomorrow. After it was announced, everyone then tidies up the camp a little bit and head to bed in their tents. Arcadia however runs inside and gives Ryan and Zephyr a hug before teleporting to Breanna’s Ship to give her company.

Upon getting back inside their room, Ryan and Zephyr’s eyes make contact and a romantic moment starts to unfold. However, the lack of sleep also starts to catch up with them. Between Ryan’s minimal sleep from taking turns last night and guarding Breanna and Zephyr’s preexisting messed up sleep cycle with also watching Breanna and her meetings with her mother, they both pass out in bed holding each other.
