248 Settling in (1/2)

---

To say that the people of the Gentle Cradle Tribe almost kissed the ground upon their arrival to their new home is not an understatement.

They were welcomed with open arms in the Kingdom. Many of it's citizens were aware of their arrival and chose to give them a warm welcome, feeling grateful that they are now a part of their large family. They could see their terrible states even after Raven's work and could very well imagine the suffering they experienced. But all of that is over, they are now safe within this tower high walls and could sleep peacefully.

Everything that Raven said about this place was true. The lands stretches as far as the eyes could see, trees are booming with fruits, flowers bloom with outstanding beauty and a large volume of humans like them lived within it.

It was like they stepped inside a paradise. A true place for humans to prosper and live in perpetual peace.

Though he was hailed as the current leader of the tribe, Neman didn't hesitate to show his complete allegiance towards Alexander as a sign of his gratitude for taking them in. The tribe followed suit and greeted their new leader since from now on, they will be his citizens as well.

Alexander told them to stand up and gave them some pleasantries, he then instructed his men to escort them towards the land that was specifically allotted to them and thus their journey towards their new territory began.

The children of the tribe felt incredibly excited. They practically stared at everything they came across in wonder and curiosity. Even the adults shared the sentiments, everything in here was new to them. Raven took this time to be their guide so that he could ease them up towards their new home.

As they moved along, some of the citizens of the Kingdom gave them some welcoming presents. Clothes, food, tools, trinkets and many more. Some even gave sweets to the children like candies, chocolates, snacks and some even gave them toys to play with. The sweets were good but the kids didn't know what to do with toys since they didn't even know what a toy is in the first place.

Once they arrived at the plot of land, they already saw just how generous the had been to them.

The place where the Immersion Forest once stood was remodeled in a habitable place and was given to the whole tribe for their use. There is a wall built around the whole territory, making it obvious where it starts and ends.

The tribe was floored upon knowing that this place is going to be given to them. This place is at least three times larger compared to their old home, if you could even call it that. They went in here thinking that they would live in well built huts surrounded by trees, but what greeted them was stone houses and modernized equipment that would make their lives easier and better.

They even thought that some of them will have to share homes with someone but they were surprised to find out that each family could take a house by themselves. Some could even choose to live on their own if they wanted to.

This concept was too much for them. Those houses are large enough to fit at least five families but they were told that it was just big enough for a family of three. What's more is that, each houses are already filled with necessary equipment for everyday use. Chairs, tables, beds, kitchen equipment, toiletries, couches, and etc. Some of these things are completely foreign to them so they needed further education on how to use these things.

Raven and his friends were already there to assist them, along with the help of the Civilian Council Volunteers to help them settle in towards their new home.

Once they settled in to their new house, they were educated about everything in the house that looked completely foreign to them like using the stoves, using the bathroom, how to lock the doors, how to close the windows, how to wash clothes and so on. It was a blessing that the citizens knew how to speak the Dark Moon Era's Language, which made it easier for them to communicate, or else explaining these things to them would be more challenging.

From that day onwards, the tribe would be gathered by the Civilian Volunteers in order to educate them more about the kingdom. They focused more on the practical things like teaching them how to cook their own meals, the concept of farming and raising animals, gardening, constructions, and etc.

Thankfully, the tribesmen soaked everything nicely and began to show the results of their education. As time went on, they became more and more knowledgeable, healthy and happier with all the blessings they received.

After two months of close supervision. No one would be able to tell that they were the same group of people who just arrived in the Kingdom. They were like every other citizens of them Kingdom already, some of them could even converse using the Kingdom's language with others. The volunteers already left them to their devices at this point since the tribe has already settled in nicely.
