Time Tells...

Two weeks later...

Cain had finally found some sense of normalcy in his life. For the first time in months, he had gone a few days without worrying about engaging in bloodshed.

Although he enjoyed the hearthrobbing moments, he didn't want to be bathed in blood all the days of his life.

The different squads handled their respective jobs well, almost too well in fact.

Although there were no attacks from the Rift, the Island was attacked periodically by hoards of aquatic and avial Mutant Creatures.

Mutant Creatures were incredibly intelligent. However, they couldn't defeat their instincts. Their thirst for bloodshed often overcame their rationale. As such, they tended to attack places with high human density.

Of course, with Blaze, David, Floki, Calio, and Manny leading the Guard Squad, all these mutant creatures were good for was food and materials.
