After many years, the new generation of the village was born from fishers and farmers. The children learnt to swim and fish as well as farming and playing the oud. The fishers had built a dock and an entrance system on the Paradise Island similar to that of Atlan and Oxan, taking taxes from outsiders that came to their land. Many traders came there to buy expensive goods like potatoes, carrots, chicken and eggs, paying them lots of coins for the luxurious food they would produce. But the villagers didn’t know how to spend the coins. They didn’t have many costs and lived by what they had. Until Atlan chiefs laid out new ways in front of them. They taught them how to use their fund for the progress of the Paradise Island, to produce more farming crop and gain more money. They had ordered two cows, three sheep, cottonseeds and vegetable and tree seedlings from the northern agricultural ships. The dairy, cotton, pepper and spice exports were added to the attractions of the Paradise Island, and the island management had fallen into the hands of Atlan. The former inhabitants of the village became the day-to-day workers of Atlan who received food and supplies for their daily work. Anytime, they would complain from the heavy work, Atlan would immediately replace them by a poor fisher or a diver who was more than happy to work on the land. None of the main villagers had left the island. They would work all day and sit by a large fire listening to the news of the outside world told by the traders and Atlan officers. They had heard about Oxan, the Saviour Island and the war with the pre-rain religionists, but they were all just interesting and fantastic tales that meant nothing to them. They would just listen and yawn since they were too tired to take them all in and to believe they were more than myths. Sometimes they would tell their own tale of their peaceful village and how their village had been taken away from them by fishers who invaded them, turning them into slaves.

The most amusing tales of the outside world were those about the Saviour followers. They would make fun of them with the Atlan fishers laughing at the absurd and meaningless rules set by a child! The part where the Atlan fishers made fun of the ridiculous rituals of the Saviour were those that would attract the most tired and sleepy workers. Soon, the Paradise Island had become a strategic part of Atlan. The Atlan chiefs knew very well that they needed this place to produce dairy and vegetables and they visited there in the dry season. The dry season festivities were held with music, dancing and feast in the Paradise Island, which was a gateway to the lost world of the pre-rain times. The Atlan chiefs were careful not to let anyone else find out about their treasure land and hide it well, cautiously surveying all the comings and goings of the island. They invested in Paradise, using the poor cheap workers to export expensive goods to other regions outside of Atlan.
