[ Congratulations on reaching 1000 Happiness. Golden Age will begin the next ti you log into Settlent.]
I push away the notification, since the Golden Age hasn't begun yet. Looking at the position of the sun, I would say I only have a couple of hours left before the ga finishes for the night.
"Wait… Ian! W-W-What's that on your back…?" - lody
I look over my shoulder and rember, I have 2 spider legs on my back. I had been so used to their presence after fighting inside the Ikanda for so long that I pretty much forgot about it.
"It's spider legs. I kind of beca an Arachne during my ti in the Ikanda…" - Ian
"THAT'S AMAZING, IAN!" - Gobi
I turn to my right to see a tall, muscular hobgoblin, with 2 small fangs popping up from its mouth, as well as short black hair. Looking at the hobgoblin's stats, I realize it was Gobi.

"Gobi! You evolved!" - Ian
"Yes, I did, and it seems like you evolved too?" - Gobi
"Umm… Sothing like that… How co everyone isn't as shocked as I thought they would be?" - Ian
"Most people here accept you as you are, no matter what changes. You are still Ian." - Gobi
"I got shocked because I hugged you and didn't notice them until after you let go." - lody
"Right, thank you for being here, lody. Gobi, what has been happening here in the last week?" - Ian
"Quite a lot actually, however, I only ca back yesterday, so even I am still trying to get up-to-date. lody, why not go around and show Ian what has been happening?" - Gobi
"On it! Ian, co let show you where you be staying from now on. We made improvents to you house while you were gone." - lody
lody links her right arm with my left arm, pulling along. I had already noticed that the brick path had been updated, with branches going towards the training grounds, Ikanda, Barracks, and Armory. lody points in front of , showing the houses that were made for residents of HavenFall.
Almost all the houses were made from clay bricks with slanted wooden roofs and a window or 2 carved out of the front wall next to the curtain of leaves used as a door. I see that there were new people in HavenFall, and they greet excitedly, telling how much they appreciate for letting them stay in HavenFall.
"Where are all these people from?" - Ian
"During the ti you were gone, Howard led a small expedition with Stellar, Kaede, Gyumi, Gopopo, and a few other humans, demi-humans, and goblins. Stellar had found goblin, orc, and kobold encampnts further out and after a small decision with Howard and Noah they decided to raid the encampnts.
During their raids, they brought back a lot of slaves that were captured by those monsters. Girls, won, children, and so demi-humans were saved from the encampnts. After making the necessary arrangents, Noah was able to bring them in and provide houses to them. They are still getting used to things in HavenFall but are slowly helping with construction, farming, or foraging." - lody
"I see, how many people are living here now?" - Ian
"Hmm, I haven't done any counting but over 50 people for sure, maybe 70? 80? Getting close to 100? I don't know." - lody
"That's alright. I have lost track of how many people are in HavenFall as well." - Ian
"Oh! We are here. Welco to HavenFall's chief residence!" - lody
lody points at a 2-story building made of clay bricks with windows on the front and second level. I had seen the building from the Ikanda and had thought it was a building that was used for storage, little did I know it was my house.
"Frank, Owen, Rex, Spike and a few other people decided to make your building bigger than the rest. They also asked Li to make so furniture, and Lucina and I helped decorate the inside." - lody
"Decorate?" - Ian
"Co, co." - lody
lody pulls into the house, pushing the curtain door to the side for . The interior was spotless, with a small circular table on the left side and 4 chairs accompanying it. On the right were shelves made out of wood with small clay pots of flowers on top of them. On the walls were unlit torches with a flint placed next to them on a small shelf. In the front were stairs to the second level. lody nudges forward and I slowly step into the place.

"Yes." - Ian

"Small and cozy, with not too many things going on. I like it." - Ian
"I knew you would! You never seed to be the person to be particular about design, so I thought you would like a simple look more, with a few plants to brighten up the interior." - lody
"Do these flowers do anything?" - Ian
"Lucina said they have a calming effect, from what I could rember." - lody
I walk over toward the flowers, holding onto the stem to see the description. Each pot had a different flower, with 5 different flowers in total, one of each color in the description.
[ Forest Daisy
A flower that blooms all year round. Its petals are commonly red, orange, yellow, white and pink. The aroma coming from these flowers tends to calm monsters, allowing them to flourish in monster-infested territories. ]
"Let's go upstairs." - lody
"Alright, lead the way." - Ian
I follow lody up the brick stairs that were opposite the door. It had wooden handrails on the side to prevent anyone from falling, with steps two bricks high. lody stands at the top of the stairs looking down at with a gentle smile. She pushes her hair behind her ear as I reach her. Noticing that I was still looking at her, she blushes and turns away. I turn to look at the second floor and was imdiately taken back. Leaning next to a wooden bed with a jackalope fur blanket was a trident as well as a set of armor.
"Old man Hus made the weapon and armor for you. Luke had a prototype version, but after Stellar and Solar ca back, he was able to complete the weapon and armor to the best of his abilities." - lody
I walk over towards the gift, touching both the weapon and the armor to see the description.

"Ian, there is sothing I want to talk to you about." - lody
"What's wrong, lody?" - Ian
"I was able to see you the mont you ca out of the Ikanda because I saw a vision of you coming out last night. However, the night before, I had another vision. Pillars of light erupted out of the ground throughout the whole continent. An army will rise and fight anything and everything that stands within its path. HavenFall is near one of those pillars of light." - lody
