The festival of East
What do you see when you think about ‘festivals’.The word comes from Old language and means celebrations, as well as joy. People think of a festival as something to celebrate, a festive day or moment where you are doing something celebratory, or something different from your everyday life. Some festivals are for the celebrations of certain events, some celebrations are for the remembrance of certain events, while some celebrations are to celebrate certain moments that should always be remembered. “Festivals should always be fun. Only then they would be festivals.”In different parts of the world, different things are celebrated with different traditional things. People do things that they have been doing for a very long time. They do things that are most certainly not something that they would do on a regular basis. Not only the festivals are something that we have fun with, but also something that gives people a certain kind of ‘break’ or ‘opportunity’ to do something that brin
Lift up your head.
“What do you see that made you like this?” Miss Lin sat down right beside him as she spoke in a way that her voice reached out to him, to the deepest parts of his mind. She asked him what he was looking at right now. She asked him what it was that had stunned him in his place. “Are you worried about these people that you do not even know? Or do you see yourself in them? Their poverty.” A voice that reached deep inside him and spoke to his very soul in a manner that no simple voice could, resonated deep within him. His thoughts were chaotic right now, but the voice reassembled them, bringing them to a peaceful stop.“What is it that troubles you? The possibility that despite your help, your momentary care, your attention… they would revert back to what they were?Is it you right now that is shaken by the possibility of chaos, or is it the ‘you’ that has lived a life like this?” Her words made him question himself. Even though she did not have to, she was helping him overcome so
Following festivities
Rey blinked with a chaotic storm in his mind settling into a deep calm. He understood the deep lesson he had just learned. He was a rising power, a master of his own destiny, and he had disrespected his own efforts by comparing himself to those who had, for whatever worldly reason, given up on theirs. He met Miss Lin's eyes slowly… the warmth returning to them like a comforting sun. He offered a silent nod of apology and understanding to the hooded figure. The moment of existential dread, at that moment, was over as well.{ “…” }Ana, however, was still looking at him with worried as well as uncertain eyes. She wasn’t a natural spirit who could instantly process the deep complexities of human struggle, nor a veteran mage who understood the nature of self-doubt. She was just a young little pixie who saw her friend suddenly become a statue of despair.And seeing the same person she had thought to be the bravest one in this state had made her feel a new kind of fear for a moment.
The lantern rites
The small detour to the tailor had completely refreshed their group dynamics this time. The new, colorful attires they had on seemed to draw the festive energy of the crowd around them. Now properly dressed for the occasion, they were finally ready to play.{ “Oh!” }Their little Ana, ever the enthusiast for traditional culture of the humans, pointed towards a brightly lit stall where a small crowd was cheering. { "Look! Everyone! The ring toss! I've been practicing my trajectory spells all week! It’s finally here!" }The game involved tossing wooden rings onto the necks of various decorative, brightly painted ceramic animals. The challenge was in the distance as the weight of the rings, and the swirling, unpredictable air currents of the city, prevented the challengers from getting the prizes.It wasn’t the same game that people played in Rey’s world. It was complex… It was also dangerous and required precise magic and energy control. Ana stepped up first, her eyes narrowed in c
The wishes of the crowd
The city nights had gone out, and the sky was completely illuminated by the hundreds of colorful lanterns that floated up into the sky. Soon, they would be floating high up into the sky where they will be led by the stronger wind currents.When they reach the areas with high air pressure and turbulence, the lanterns will get destroyed under the intense winds.The environment that made something like that possible was closer to a hurricane, but those winds weren’t stationary.“The founding Lord made this city after being influenced by this very phenomenon. Lantern rites for different cultures across many cities had something different about them.The lanterns that were floating into the sky were of different colors.The people of this world are all different. They have different things to do in life, things that one might not consider normal.They are different people and the wishes they carry are different as well. The fact that they were all given the chance to have different colo
The kneel
“Lady Lin.” The Lord, the high mage of the east, a being that seemed more western than anyone else in this eastern world, greeted the lady with the hood while showing utmost respect.Away from the public eyes, with the arrival of the Lord, the lord’s guards had blocked off the entire upper area of the fountain where they were right now.With the help of various magical barriers, they made it so that the lord and the guests of the Lord were not interrupted.The public attention was further shifted with the essence-mist magic of the different formation masters. They made it so that the people did not even realise they were there or were doing anything. Therefore, Rey and his party were the only people who understood what was going on right now. “Yavian. It’s been a while.” With her deep voice, she extended her hand as the Lord of the city knelt down before her. “We have been prosperous, m’Lady” with the short answer, he kissed the hand that was extended before her, an eastern traditi
Introduction and a new quest
“This one is called Rayanne, someone that might help you immensely going forward, Yavian. He returned from the Great Plains, from the lands of Triade Colorwings. And he possesses treasures from both the Triade species, and the Blockhead ghosts of the old tales.”The introduction focused on what Rey had to offer and it also vouched for his credibility.Miss Lin was the one who introduced him so he was most certainly not an ordinary boy.“The treasures of Triades and Block ghosts…?” His stunned eyes got stuck on him for a moment.He would have believed her if she introduced him as a foreigner young boy who had reached the level of a master at such a young age, but to have returned from the Great Plains?He could not believe those words even though they came directly from the person he respected the most in this city.“He is an Elementalist, one who has lost his ability to Summon the spirits under the System’s judgement.”As the introduction continued, even the mages in the distance gas
A story lesser known
[Past, in the era where winds had frozen.]Tall mountains and harsh dryness of Fall. Lakes and rivers of blood covering the vast landscape, no greenery in sight.Bodies— human, elvan, orcish, dwarven, beastmen, all fallen to the ground, their blood turned white, all energy from their bodies emptied— covered each corner in sight.The scene was devastating. And yet, one area stood out from the rest on this battlefield.-Oooooooooooong. In a section where bodies, the dead bodies covered in countless wounds, bodies with limbs pulled out, heads exploded, a place where the bodies with the organs pulled out of them covered the area.Here, the bodies still had some life left in them. Here, the wounded were still lingering on the boundary of life and death.Still…There were an absurd amount of dead bodies in this place, most with their blood turned white, an indication that all the life energy was pulled out of them.The scene was a clear indication of a demon’s rampage. Only the demons wer
The heinous follower
“When the Lord General defeated the demon and finally brought peace to the rejuvenated land, the lives of those who had been saved by the sacrifice of the General Strategist were saved as well.”They just told us about how the founder of this city had fought against the demons and how the Emperor of that time awarded this land, which he had pioneered with countless sacrifices, along with the title of a Lord.‘The Lord General was merely a commoner that rose to the position of a grand master with his talent and the support of his one dear friend.’It was surprising to know the General Strategist that laid the foundation of the praise of the pixies in the city of winds was engaged to the founder… it explained the current world fame of the little beings of nature.Her sacrifice would have all been in vain if that being had not manifested in the form of a divine creature of legends… an eastern unicorn.“Peace and prosperity had returned to a barren land… and the Natural Spirit in the form
The ending night
The following day was approaching and the night was coming to an end.The sky that was covered in lanterns just a few hours ago had returned to being the sky that was covered in stars.Rey and his party were sitting on the castle gates by the permission of the Lord, staring at the world below them.What they were seeing before them was a city that was still alive.The people were still in the festive mood as everyone started to wrap things up.The merchants that had come from different cities were going to return to their homes soon.People who had enjoyed the experience, the lanterns, the food, the clothes were all preparing to go back to their daily lives.The market that had been awake for the last few days was finally closing down.The streets that were lit far more brightly than usual were also dimming down.The city of winds that had celebrated the festival in the memories of their founders was now going back to sleep.With much difficulty, the group had secured a few moments on
