The Summer Bonfire Festival

Daphne had only held off her departure for the sake of being here for this. Her memories were coming back in fits and bursts, enough for her to know their last birthday had been the beginning of the end. She had made her mind up to head out back to Boreas in the morning, so she would be mindful to not overindulge tonight. She kept a pleasant smile on her face, masking her own anxiety as best she could. It certainly looked like it was going to be a big event, so she would settle herself off to the side, somewhere near where her nose told her Grim was lurking. If he wanted to join her, he would be more than welcome, but she wouldn’t come right out and out him.
