Norm sat for a moment took a drink, this is fine
Rum good company. I'd like to tell you of the Ohio's. A fine land its people friendly protected
by the Waste Land to the south and east.
We live alone very little contact other than York
or the Wisconsin's. We farm manufacture our own
goods very little outside trade.

Many years ago we sealed our borders, why because we felt the Lands went the wrong way.
To stop knowledge and keep people from knowing
the past. Is wrong we need to know all or we are doomed to relive the past in our future. I believe
this is in my heart. We work with some ancient
technology. Steam powered machines to build
things drive other machines, you still use with
water or wind power. We use this to  help and benefit us not rule us. We have more than enough
to feed all, with some left over.

We are proud of our Land. Those that manage the trek across the Waste Land are welcome to stay.
We hope that one day we all will unite again.
I believe these Invaders are our own people.
Returning home. I am sure of it. They will be
much more advanced than us. This I must say
our past is filled with Lands less powerful beating
more advanced Lands. So we do stand a chance.

You need a quick victory to win over the other
Nobles. I'd find a place close to do that. Do it
soon as you can, close to spring. Don't want to
get caught fighting weather.

Sarna nodded we are working on that now.
Hope to do it sooner than later. We need to see
how our Army works together. Ben and I think
we need some kind signaling between detachments and such. Whether it be flags or
using mirrors to do it. Runners still work we
need both I believe.

Norm smiled I new you would be the best choice
to lead. Well thought, Jena will help think we
use something that may work fine. Enough talk
on plans of war. For the evening lets just rest
I'm in need of it. I am sure Jena is also. Jacob did our father stay a Ranger?

For awhile yes, he ran the Station at Myrtels for awhile. Quit and just worked the Ocean Blue.
Fished did what ever he felt. I know now why,
he was so passionate about the Law. How it should
be enforced. It just went against what he thought
right. Think that's why he asked Common to train
me, he thought the same. Father was a good man,
just wish I knew more about him. I only learned
more about him only a night ago.

Yes I only know as much as mother told me, and what was written down from then. Common my
such a story teller, so like what mother told me
of father. Why Common gave up I am not sure.
I cherished the man like a father. I think I am
done for the day, good night all.

Sarna stood good night Sir, think we should call
it an Evening. Lana could you stay please, Ben I'll
be in shortly. Louse see to the start of the shelters
early please. Garret you help, Father think you can
spend time with your brother. We can make do.
Good night all.

Lana now that they have left, I want you to know.
I still need you not just as the camp supply officer.
Soon you'll be needed in the fight, plus I need you.
You've given me good advice. Lana I just don't want you to think I've pushed you aside.

Dear Sarna never would I think that. I was just thinking how I love doing this. Sure I want to be
in the fight. That will come dear, you choose the
ones best suited for the job at hand. Louse he is
smart on building and seeing how to do it. So he
does that. Garret a good leader him and Louse team well together. You and Ben why are like you've known each other well longer than you
have. That dear will come in handy. Your Father
dear is wise thinks on things. Use him let him
have the Army of Carolina. That job suits him.

The Army how they eat what they have. I'll do till
you need me in the fight. Sarna when needed I'll
give all that I have.

Sarna nodded then smiled, I'd hoped you knew
why you had the job. When needed you shall fight.
We do need to be United on this is all I ask.

I thought on that some too, we should be least
till this is over. I fear staying that way may send
us all into something we can't stop. It start all over
again. Lana I'm not sure on this I may seek more
counsel on this, from you and the others.
For now I believe we are done, I'm pleased with
your work and you like doing it. Good night Lana.

Yes Sarna good night to you, Oh we should send hunting parties out. I'll take care of it.

Yes please do.

I know short part. Thank you for reading and continuing on. Vote comment enjoy.
