The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

The young Caladia has no idea why the adults seem so interested in this bonfire thing. Sure, she and Thorn had gathered branches for it but the reasoning behind it all still seems so strange to her. Mom and dad make sure that she and her siblings are ready to go and the hodgepodge coated girl wiggles in excitement and boredom. Luckily, her uncle’s howl signals that they can all gather and Callie has to stop herself from rushing out of the castle right then. At her mother’s words, the pup nods and eagerly says, “I’m ready!”

Once everyone gives some indication that they ready too, the pups are allowed to race from the castle toward the plains. She leads the way, small body moving through the tall grass until she finds her uncle and the area to gather. Tail wags happily as she prances up to Artorias and happily chirps, “Hi uncle Art! Is Dusk going to be here soon?” Her mother arrives and pulls her over to they are sitting and Callie huffs indigently, saying in a rather loud whisper, “I was just saying hello.” Flopping onto the grass, she waits to for the fire to be lit.
