The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 18)

Artorias sat and watched the fire grow over the massive mound of oil-soaked kindling, feeling the warmth of the flames growing as flickering light seeped across the dark plains, chasing away the night. A smile touch3d the Aegis’ lips; the Bonfire Festival had always held special meaning to him. A physical embodiment of the Hallows’ mission in the world. A light in the darkness. Amidst the orange, bright blue and cyan flames burst forth as the sea salt soaked driftwood he’d asked Syanna and Ezra to fetch began to burn, coupled with Zephyrus’ rare metals, this year’s bonfire was a spectacular sight to behold! What a grand first event for the pups to experience!

As he was basking in the firelight, a voice to his side called for his attention. Amber eyes snapped away from the fire to regard a dark-coated young woman approaching him with reverence. She bore the scent of Ashen, and Art was delighted to find their friends to the north had come to join them. She thanked him and passed along Venom’s apologies for not being able to attend. Artorias had heard the news of the newest litter of royal Ashen pups, so her absence, while regrettable, was not surprising. "Thank you kindly. Please give my congratulations to your aunt when you see her again. I’d very much like to see her again, as well as her newest children."
