A/N: Words in Bold are spoken in Trigedasleng.



Back on the Ark, the youngsters that went for a visit a couple of days ago to TonDC, continued talking of how good and wonderful it felt being there, of the different activities they saw and of the gifts they came home with. Their parents were happy to see their pups with big grins on their faces and wondered if it was really as good as they said. Even Ryan and his team, corroborated the youngster's words. Ryan had told the adults that indeed, TonDC was a nice town and the people were wonderful, which made some of the adults eager to go to TonDC to experience for themselves what the youngsters and Ryan had said.

Two days later, the aquaculture farm was ready and fully functional. One of the three ponds already had fish and so they were only waiting for the others to fill in before they closed the gates. The crops that the Arkers and Trikru farmers had planted were slowly growing, so, it was estimated that in the next two months, the Arkers would be harvesting their first crops. Even their greenhouses have started to be built. As the master carpenter of the Ark, Ryan was assigned to build the frame of the greenhouses and so he and his team had gone to the nearby woods to cut some logwood. All in all, things were progressing for the Arkers and they were happy; happy to live and not just survive.

Back at TonDC, today was the last day that new traders were arriving, so both alpha leaders went to the market to greet the newcomers and examine their portfolios before it was handed over to Lexa and Ava.

"This is the last group of traders, Octavia. They are from the Trishana or Glowing Forest Pack," Titus told O who nodded and responded, "Okay. What are they hoping to trade?"

"They are wine makers but more than that, we have to ensure that while they're here, they are protected. One of their members just happens to be the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of their pack," Titus told Octavia who simply nodded.

Twenty minutes later, as Octavia closed the portfolio, she looked at the traders. She has learnt that Mason Daniels is brother to the Alpha of the Trishana Pack and that Holly Daniels, a young, beautiful beta is the daughter of their Alpha leader. Mason along with his mate, Elena Daniels are winemakers and have a large vineyard back at their pack. Travelling with them is their two year old baby girl, Layla who beams every time she sees O.

"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Daniels to TonDC. We hope that you will like it here and if there's anything that you need, please don't hesitate to ask," Titus said, extending his arm towards the male alpha.

"Welcome, Ms. Daniels," Octavia said, extending her arm towards the female beta who took it and couldn't help but stare at O's two mating bites but was too shy to ask about it.

Penn then took the group to their newly built stall where they started setting up their things.

"Alpha, since we're getting new traders and things are going good, we need to start building rooms or quarters for them as well. Maybe we can ask Ryan and his crew to come back," Octavia stated and the Alpha shook his head. "Yes, you're right. We'll send word. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help out."

The following day, Wells and Lisa went to the Ark. Clarke's laptop was almost finished. All it needed now was the software to be installed. This was a perfect time for Octavia to ask for Ryan's help, so she accompanied them to the Ark. When they arrived, Lisa went to see Ryan while Wells went to see Raven to retrieve the laptop so he could install the software meanwhile Octavia went to see her uncle. She found him and the other council members in the command center, discussing the day's activities.

After finishing up with the others, Marcus motioned for O to join him and Rose. "What's going on sweetheart?" Rose asked, giving Octavia a hug.

"Nothing much, just work. Actually, I came to ask for Ryan's help. With new traders coming to town, we have to build rooms for them. I wanted to ask Ryan and his crew for help. Do you think you can spare them?" O asked and Marcus smiled.
