The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

The time had come once again. All summer long, the Hallows had been diligently preparing for this great festival of theirs. Wood had been gathered en masse and doused in flammable oil to control the burn, food and drink prepared and spread out across a table buffet style, and around the massive pile of tinder lay pelts the hunters had collected for blankets for everyone to relax on. The evening was dry and warm, a perfect mild summer night for a bonfire. Giving one last look over everything to make sure the celebration was set to commence, Artorias nodded his head, a proud smile adorning his features. Everything was in place and looked perfect. The Bonfire Festival was an important event in Hallows culture and he was always so impressed and proud of his wolves' efforts towards the celebration year after year. But more importantly, this would be the first time the newest generation of Carpathians would get to take part in the event.

With everything in place and ready to receive their family and their guests, Artorias tipped his head back and let forth a call for all to come join. The sun was still sinking below the western horizon, leaving them with about a half hour of daylight left before twilight and night took over. Everyone would have time to collect before he lit the fire. To his side, Argent approached carrying a flint and steel, handing the tools off to his master. With that, Artorias waited for the Hallows to arrive, excited to get to share this special occasion with his children for the first time.

ooc: Next round will begin February 8th. This is not a hard cutoff, as anyone can arrive at any time, but this is when the bonfire will be lit IC and any posts after that will arrive after the lighting
