long night reminder

Unlike his father, Shinrei had never experienced the horrors of the Long Night. And perhaps that was for the best, seeing as it had brought with it all the worst calamities one could ever imagine. Let his naïvete guide him, instead; for the night sky that shone brilliantly was more of a fascination for the pup than it was a bitter memory for his father.

Shinrei watched as the aurora’s shimmering hues ribboned across the night sky, the stars sparkling and twinkling across a swath of deep cerulean blue. He didn’t really know what the phenomena was, but truthfully he didn’t find himself that curious about it. Was it..interesting? Sure. Did he want to know everything about that uniquely lit sky? Not really.

Finding himself drawn to the bay, Shinrei found his father sitting by the lapping waters, apparently deep in thought and rather uneasy. A spark of curiosity hit him as the young boy drew closer, tilting his head. ”Father, are you alright?” He inquired in their native tongue, craning his neck so as to observe his father’s expression.
