More than twenty days later, Scholar Mikki returned with a ship full of food from the North Bay Tribe of Napa Valley. By now, it was mid-July, and the sunlight was clear as if it had been washed, with no trace of clouds or rain in the sky. At the West Mountain Port, two rows of huts had been built in the camp, and the fields by the river had been cultivated quite a bit, looking somewhat like a village.
It wasn't until Mikki stepped off the longship and set foot in the Kingdom's camp that he still felt a little dazed. He recalled the more than twenty days of exceptionally "fulfilling" teaching and learning, feeling like he was back at the Divine Power University in the Capital City.
"Chief Divine bless! Mikki, you've finally returned!"
Exploration Captain Zuwaro stood in front of Mikki with a face full of joy, his voice filled with excitement.
