Those who knew about the horrible fate that Delwias Island was facing didn't share their information with others, they kept on faking thier life to stay normal in a world that was already falling apart.
They looked others in the eyes and even smiled at their faces, while thinking that they were going to have a chance to ascend even as a refugee if they stayed calm and didn't cause troubles to the authorities that abandoned them mercilessly. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fıre·net
A day after another idea kept on being stronger, it turned to a rumor, people started to notice the absence of teachers, guards, all the higher mages, people who already leveled up, the king himself.
It was not yet confirmed that they were left behind, and none of them had the courage to confirm it to a group of hopeless people.
They were not going to believe it anyway, the higher regions would never do this to them
That's what they would say.
As the first people started to come from district four and five where the volcano and the flood happened, district one's inhibitors were faced with a new reality.
People died in those districts, their homes were destroyed, their normal lives were crushed under these unjustified changes.
Those who chose to stay calm and silent kept on doing that even after the arrival of those refugees from those two districts.
It was a test, that was the original thought they started to spread.
They were numerous, the authority had to select from them, the few chosen ones, that was the new idea.
People kept on following that idea, they couldn't think of themselves as being disposable.
And with every day passed, they only kept on making excuses for the authorities to justify what they did to them.
At the beginning the number of the people who reached for region one's help was reasonable, most of them were welcomed, and they were given food a shelter and protection
They stayed at the border of the district so they didn't confront a lot of people and kept on living unnoticed there.
They told the horrific stories behind their migration from their homes and the fact that they didn't get any help from the king was the worse part.
An old woman from region four started to tell the story of her loss with tears, despite her age, her memory was not affected.
She kept on insisting that she saw when help came to her district, and that they were royal guards, she asked them for help but they saved only those who leveled up from her neighbors, and left her there until one of her grandkids reached to her and saved her.
Those from district one who helped her and her grand kid didn't believe her, it was an outrageous thing to be done and they trusted the authority to death.
There were a few others from district five who said this too, but that idea was too big to be controlled once it reached everyone here.
Usually there were guards at the guard points, in Delwias Island there were 8 guard points in that giant wall that separated districts from each other.
Four of them were principal guard's points, those were the ones that connected all the districts with district one .
And the others were secondary gurd's points، those were the ones that connected side rdistricts, between two and three, between three and four, between four and five, between five and two.
The time these people reached for district one's help, the guard's point was empty which was a shocking thing to happen considering all the procedures they had to go through in the past whenever they tried to visit their relatives here.
district four and five were not completely empty, people still stayed there and those were just exactly the same as those who believed that they were going to be chosen in district one..
The same stupidity, naivety, slavery attitude.
They kept on believing that district one was going to help them very soon, it was just too busy to help the other parts of the district.
They didn't dare to look for themselves and see where the delay happened or even try to contact region one to figure that there was no contact anymore.
Only those who saw the guards chose selectively the leveled up ones were convinced that they were left behind to die .
With the volcano awakening and the flooding something deep was changing that none of them seem to pay attention to.
That was not the usual atmosphere in this region and for all of this to happen for the first time was very confusing to everyone.
Even when Lucas opened hell gates, this didn't happen. It was only that bloody triple full moon every 90 days.However this was much scarier .
It was when the earthquake in region two happened when everyone in Delwias island knew exactly that they were in a messed up situation, and also that they were abandoned by the higher regions, and that it was just a matter of time before this place would face its end .
The earthquake happened late at night, people woke up very scared and terrified of the ground shaking under their feets. It was the first time something like that happened and before they even knew thiers houses were destroyed and many of them died while trying to leave their homes.
It was a very strong earthquake, it lasted for a whole two minutes but the results were catastrophic.
That night was worse than all the triple full moons that happened in their districts combined.
People who survived that night were in a state of panic as they saw their homes being destroyed in a blink of an eye, and their loved ones facing death without them being able to help them.
When the morning came, they didn't choose to fix their places because the damage was too big, and they didn't choose to leave solely to other districts.
They all spread the word to leave their district to district one and seek for their help.
And that decision was the worst decision they ever made.
