Shade woke up. He had been sleeping to wait for the sun to go down and as he watched it lower past the horizon he got a few spare pickaxes to go mining for some coal. His stocks were running low, and the cold of the approaching Winter would be dangerous without a hot fire. As he left, Cilla called out to him

"Where are you going?" she shouted

"I'm going to Vian, for coal"

"Vian?" she looked puzzled.

"You're not from here are you? Where are you really from?"

"I will tell you later" and so Cilla walked away. Shade followed her but she had hid in one of the huts and he could not be bothered to search for her, as although it had been strange, he had more important issues.

As Shade travelled towards Vian, he considered where CIlla had come from, for the only people from another Island group had come from Solace, a relatively well-known Island group for the people of Thunderdome.

When Shade arrived at Vian he decided he might travel to Solace, for it was popular because of the abundance of crops, especially carrots, a very popular but pricey treat for the few who had the money to buy them. Those who had tried to farm them had found that the compost they had would not grow them.
