As he was looking at it he noticed that the helm of the ship was lit, moving toward it he found Robert and the crewman called Cooper there.

"Sir Dan you are here." When he saw Dan enter, Robert stood up from his chair and said that, while Cooper only nodded his head respectfully.

"Oh yeah no need for the sir anymore we are not in the base now so just Dan is enough." Dan said, he let people call him sir before because they were on the base and people there were used to that, but now that only a small number of people were on the ship he could change that.

"Yes, I'll do that, so what's wrong?" Robert nodded before asking.

"Nothing I just wanted to have a little time for myself, and then I saw the light here and decided to come and see, but Robert you really are pushing it after all you are this old and still staying this late at night? you should take better care of yourself."

"No I'm just giving Cooper some lessons, because ,as you said, I'm getting old and I need someone to pass my knowledge to, and Cooper here is that person."

"There's a lot of time for that, you should take care of your health." Dan said.

Not just Dan and the others had a hard day, everyone at the base and the cave were busy especially those who decided to go in the journey with Dan, most of them were crewmen who worked hard to make sure the ship was good before starring it, and along with the mental pressure, they needed rest too.

"Yeah, I think that you're right, there's a lot of time to talk about all of this, I should rest for now." Robert said after he thought about it.

He really wasn't his younger self he was around 56 year old, and in a world where there's no medical care nor good diet, usually people would start having many problem at that age.

"Yeah, go and rest I'll stay here and keep watch." Cooper finally talked.

"Ok good night then." Robert said, as he was leaving him heard Dan's voice behind him:

"Tomorrow after you wake up ask everyone to go to that big room inside the ship, we will all have our meals together from now on, I also have something to say, it will be a surprise and a gift for all those who decided to follow us, so make sure that all of them are going to be there."

"Ok I'll remember that." Robert nodded before leaving.

"He cares about you a lot... All of you I mean, all the crewmen of the one eyed dragon gang." Dan turned his head to Cooper and said after he saw that Robert was gone.

"Yeah he does, we are his family, and he is a part of ours." Cooper said after staying silent for a while.

"You also care about your family a lot don't you?"

Dan remembered how when he found that little Ru was a girl and asked them why they hid that, Cooper was the first person to step up and say that she was a part of their family.

"... They are my family and the only thing that I have in this life, being the oldest among them I have to protect them, if something bad would happen to them it should happen to me first or I won't forgive myself."

"I see that the crew of the one eyed dragon's gang is made of only young people why is that?" Dan asked the question which has been in his mind ever since he saw them.

"There was a time where there was four ships and not just three, but unfortunately in one of the Great Migrations because of bad weather one of the ships wasn't able return to the base, that ship had most of the crew of the one eyed dragons gang and also the gangs leaders, of course at that time the gang wasn't called the one eyed dragon's gang, it was even before he took control of it.

"Anyway, because of being delayed by the storm, the ship met a dragon when they returned, and of course everyone in it died, every crewmen of the gang died, actually everyone except grandpa Robert, because he was ill in the day of the Great Migrations, he stayed behind, making him the only crewmen of the gang, but he didn't want it to stay like that for long, he collected some unwanted children or the trouble makers of the gang, gave them food and started teaching them about sailing, he gave all of them a purpose and a place in the gang, and treated them like family." Cooper's voice was gentle and soft as if he was remembering about what happened to him and not someone's else past.

"He's a good man." Dan said after hearing about the story of Robert and how he helped all those kids.

"Yeah he is... I want to ask you something..." Cooper asked hesitatingly.

"Yeah go on! you can ask me whatever you want." Dan nodded.

"What's the chance of us succeeding, what I mean is, what's the chance of us surviving and making it out of this area?"

"... I don't really know, but you should know that it isn't zero, so we shouldn't give up hope." Dan answered.

"Ok that'd all what I needed to know."

"Just make sure that we are heading west, and we will be alright." Dan added jokingly.

"I won't make such a mistake."

After that Dan talked with Cooper for a while before he finally started feeling tired, he wished Cooper a good night before leaving the helm.

He stood there on the surface of the ship and looked at the stars and the moon which were shining brightly in the sky before heading to his room.

As he was entering the inside of the ship, he saw something on one corner of the ship, looking carefully he was able to see that it was Allan, the former gate keeper, he had put his bed there and was sleeping under the stars with no care to the world, shaking his head while smiling Dan entered the ship before going to his room got himself a bathtub ready, dropped a drop of dragon's blood on it before entering it, soon after he was already asleep.

Area 01, Ronald's office.

Lance Sherwood entered the office while holding a document on his hand, the document had some changes that happened and the results of the investigation on the worlds on the multiverse, he stood in front of the door of Ronald office knocked once before entering, he and Ronald were old friends so just that was enough.

"Lance you are here." Ronald said, he didn't even lift his head to know who it was that entered his office, after all the only person who would enter his office after one knock, without waiting for a response was lance, no one else would do that.

"There's some interesting new things that happened in the last few days." Lance answered while putting the document on the desk and setting on a chair on the side.

"Oh really?" Ronald lifted his head after he head that, then he lifted the document and started reading.

The thing that caught his attention first was how some ships from one of the three Areas which had nuclear power were heading toward two other Areas, one of them was another Area with nuclear power, even though the fleet which was going to that Area seemed as if it was just a small one which also meant that it wasn't a war declaration or anything like that, no one could know and say for sure that nothing would go wrong.

The other fleet of ships from that Area was going to an Area which seemed to be in the middle ages, if it was before he would have thought that the world in the middle ages period was in trouble, but not after what happened with the seven gods of Area 02.

Ever since then, he understood that he shouldn't use the same logic as when there was only one earth and when the world was still normal, he didn't know if they Area in the middle ages was on trouble or if it was the other way around, and the attacking Area was on trouble.

Thinking about all of that made him remember what happened with the seven Gods of area 02 so he lifted his head and asked:

"How's the things with the drones, did they find any clues about the whereabouts of the seven Gods, we should stop our relationship with them from becoming any worst, we should let them know that it was just a misunderstanding."

"As you can see in the document, no we weren't able to find where they are, and it seem as if Area 02 is getting ready for war, all the nation and human establishment that we passed by were getting ready for war, some of our drones were even destroyed by people with some weird abilities, I think that the chance of stopping this conflict just like that is getting smaller and smaller with each passing day..."

"Sigh... We really made a big mistake, if only we collected information about all the memories that appeared in people's minds in advance, we would have known about the abilities world and the meaning of the words 'Seven Gods', we wouldn't have made such a mistake."

After saying that Ronald looked at the document again, and kept on reading, he read for a while before lifting his head and asking on astonishment.

"Dragons in Area 07 are all heading to the same place at the same time?"

The information in the document showed that all dragons in Area 07 were heading to the same place, by marking all the dragon and their movements it was apparent that they all started heading toward that place which seemed to be somehow on sought Africa, at the same time exactly, as if it was planned, the other weird thing was that they were flying way too slow, not as fast as their usual speed.

"Do we have any clues about what might have happened?" Ronald asked.

With clues he meant if people with memories about Area 07 had any clue about the meaning of that from those memories.

"We asked, and what we found is that each year dragons would go in a migration called the Great Migration by many of them, in this Great Migration dragons would go to mate and lay eggs, we also found that dragons would leave their homes for two weeks or so, no matter what part of the world they are from." Lance said.

They did learn from what happened with Area 02 and the Seven Gods, ever since that happened they collected as much knowledge about the other Areas from the memories of the people around them, of course by that time all the people in the world had already knew about what had happened to the world and how the their world had become but a small Area of the New Earth.

Knowing how many worlds like their's existed and that all the memories which appeared suddenly in their brains were memories of true worlds, people almost couldn't believe it, not until a photo of new earth was released, by the big four alliance.

"A migration... Thanks god the course of their migration didn't change because of the appearance of the new apreas or a lot of trouble would have happened." Ronald said.

"Yeah many Areas would have to go through hell each year." Lance nodded.

Because of the Great Migration and the movement of the dragons none of the drones or satellites noticed the little ship that entered the ocean and started its journey...
