The Summer Bonfire Festival (Year 20)

The journey to the Hallows had been long but uneventful. Mariah had left with a group of Elysium wolves that had through one means or another found themselves on the distant trip to Auster. But even still, she couldn’t deny that the sight of the Hallows pack's territory was a welcomed one; her heart lifting as her silver eyes took in the preparation for the festivities. The Hallows knew how to throw a festival, that much she knew- even if she had never seen one for herself.

She was quick to spot Artorias, as he laid tributes on what would soon become a roaring bonfire. There were countless other strangers gathered as well. It seemed to be a blending of packs, one that made her a little disappointed that Caedes couldn’t attend. But of course, it wouldn’t have gone over well. Her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer before turning her attention back to her own group. And in turn, Cerberus. She offered him a friendly grin as she casually steered them a little aways from the other Elysium wolves. “Thanks for coming along.” She said lightly, genuinely pleased to have his company.
