1882 - Managing to survive with one anothers help until spring, the six families settle in one place and establish Irvingly. Soon, their lives are in upheaval once again as magical folk happen upon their small settlement. An agreement is established between the two groups and a Casino along with homes are built. Faced with different employment options for the first time in his life, Josiah isn't quite sure what to do and decides to work as a labourer so that he could work outdoors, as he always wished he could do.

1886 - Josiah's friendship with the witch deepens and he develops some romantic feelings for her. Sadly, she stops coming to Irvingly after a while and he has no idea what has happened to her. Eventually, he gets over it but is left with the realization that he is ready to take on a wife and start his own family, something he discusses with his elder brother. Josiah also decides to change jobs again, this time taking up the position of postman.

1888 - After two years, Josiah is still finding his new job much more to his tastes - he can be social without actually having to deal with the people beyond a greeting! - Josiah decides this is the job for him.
