The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

The day of bonfire has arrived and Fern is excited to share the experience with her children. As Artorias finishes setting up the area, the gray couple make sure that their children are all full and ready to go. Doing one last head count, she nods to herself before looking to Rudyard and offering a warm smile. Artorias’s call rings through the air and she turns her attention back the children, saying, “Okay little ones, remember to stay in sight. Everyone ready?”

Once everyone, including their father, signals they are indeed ready to go, the gray couple lovingly shoo their children out into the darkening night toward the area where the festival will take place. They are among the first to arrive and Fern offers Artorias a warm smile and soft greeting as they find a place for their family settle in. The couple relax as they await the lighting of the bonfire and emotions swirl in the gray woman’s chest as she looks over their pups, thinking about how proud her mother be to see them all happy and safe.
