LUNAR FESTIVAL | DAY FIVE | ELDERS & OMEN

[paradisamods]

[It's the final day of the festival. Now is definitely the time to stock up on any fireworks or exotic gifts found in the market. It seems the vendors are practically giving them away, as will all last minute sales.

By now, residents have received five red envelopes containing gifts. Perhaps they now have a considerable amount of caisos to spend in town? Children might have a nice pile of candy. Or maybe residents received an Elune Stone to use for the future?

The final two elders have appeared in the courtyard, waiting patiently for any who would approach them and pay respect.

Out by the duck pond, however, a sense of unease has settled. The waters have been stirring all day, and the wolf spirits from the day prior are gathering by the waters, waiting expectantly.

It isn't long before something begins to emerge from the water. Something very large, and very hostile in appearance.



What will you do?]

Isn't the cost always high?

[inafadingcrown]

It is, though casualties are not always so heavy.

[lord_wizard]

I thought that was what made war what it is.

It does seem unusual, though, that a king would risk himself.

[inafadingcrown]

Any loss is heavy to those who suffer it, true. In this instance, however, I speak only of numbers; it was not a fight between equals.

As for the latter statement, my people would not think highly of a ruler who did not take to the field himself; all of the great Elven Lords have been also warriors when it was needful.

[lord_wizard]

Yet another thing that seems to separate your people from mine.

[inafadingcrown]

Those who would lead must know what they ask of others.

[lord_wizard]

I assume that includes you as well?

[inafadingcrown]

It does. [How much you want to read into that is up to you.]
