The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

Mercury wasn’t a stranger to festivals, but he was a stranger to this one. Curious and nostalgic, he heeded his Aeges’ call. Heading from the Castle with Solor riding along by his shoulders, he made his way to the Plains. He could see the small group that had gathered so far, long before he reached them. Crossing the starry field and joining the start of the pack gathering. Everything had come together beautifully, and as he appraised it with wonder. “Hello, Artorias” He said, his voice a glancing greeting. knowing the leader would be surrounded by voices.

It had been some time since he had been at a festival. It would be in some ways vastly different to the wind chime festivals his family had hosted. But also very similar. The sounds of laughter and bonding. That part would be the same.
As he thought it, he found his eyes drifting back towards the direction of the castle. Looking across the field in the hopes of seeing a familiar figure.
