265 Million + 9,950 Years PE

Ten years have passed, the Woodcrafters and the Social Gravediggers are established at the seashore since a long time.

Just four months after their arrival, they sent some of them back to their former home, to tell the others of their new home. The woodcrafters in the forest refugia were very surprised that they found a new place to live, they thought that they were doomed! Now imagine how happy they were, knowing that their kind could be saved!

Soon, almost all inhabitants of the dying forest refugia went south to the seashore village. This was the second great trek south.

Only a few of them remained. Two or three woodcrafter females, which were pregnant despite declining food supply from the gardens, some of their family members, about two hundred very old woodcrafters which could not make the journey anymore, and about a hundred social gravediggers, which were very attached to the forest refugia.

When the second group arrived, they were amazed by the sea, the new home, the bushes and by the fact that there were so many children, and not only those of the social gravediggers, but also those of the woodcrafters!

After a few years the last woodcrafter young to be born in the forest refugia were old enough to make the trek south. And thus the last inhabitants of the forest refugia (the social gravediggers and the woodcrafter families with their young) left their ancient home forever.

The old woodcrafters which could not make the trip had died since then, therefore nobody remained.

Now the forest refugia is empty, but the seashore is bustling with activity.

This picture shows a woodcrafter female showing the children how to trim the food bushes. These bushes are the direct descendants of the broad leafed sunflower trees of the former forest refugia, and are very similar to their ancestors that grew on alpine slopes, hardy bushes with sugar rich sap that keeps them form freezing during the night. They still grow edible fruits, although they are slightly smaller than those of the trees in the forest refugia were.
The new Antlear Bush would describe the picture better.

The woodcrafters also saved at least a hundred plant species of the forest refugia from extinction by planting their seeds here, where it is still warm enough for them to grow. Most of them are either edible, beautiful or both.

The flowers in the picture are just a few of those plants.

Now the woodcrafters diet is roughly 70 percent seaweed and 30 percent land plants. The bushes still provide some sustenance, but don’t grow fast enough to sustain the woodcrafters. They have to trim their teeth regularly, though not as frequently as they would have to if they only ate seaweed, since their diet provides at least some wear of their teeth.
