Quote:"If only it had happened under better circumstances."
A little over a year had passed since Meranthe was shook by a series of events, a raid to save one that had come with dire consequences, three taken in return for one life and in turn.
The sun had hid, rains of sorrow had fallen.
Many days passed with the light of the Sun having dimmed, hidden behind the clouds.
A funeral rite had been held for two and shortly after that, one presented an announcement.

Quote:"I am, Iane Ioko, many may know me, many may not, but all knew Hina Lam. A constant source of hope for this land, spreading life and love to everyone she met and at the end of it all, sticking to what she believed in. And she did the same to me and it had changed my life for the better and set me on the course I am today, under her a faithful of Jiuweihu, a practitioner of the Holy Arts, one who desires to keep this land whole and in the Light, even as that of the Dark continues to poke at our heels, trying to drag all of us down into it. But it is not a path I have walked because another wished for me to, or taught me to, it is one that I have walked because I wanted to, because my love for the land and it's people.And yet I wish now that I could be saying much of this with her here, standing alongside me, her smile present on her face as it always was, announcing this alongside me.But now, as I walk, Illuminated under Jiuweihu's light, by her decree and one of her final wishes, do I walk.As the next Chancellor of the Illuminated."
A new dawn upon Meranthe, with a torch passed to one that had walked this path for most of her life, the circumstances regretful but she could not stall forever and with such, one final set of words would be made.
Quote:"With all said, many threats loom, Atrellyan's, the Demons that hide away amongst the Shadowlands, the undead that prowl our roads from many sources and yet, ever would I strive to remind us all what we fight for, the hope we strive for, the sanctity of our lands and our peoples. Even while we fight amongst ourselves I hold out hope that we will not forget the bigger picture, that we will not forget that despite our differing views, when push comes to shove, we can still band together when it matters, against what threatens our ways of life, even if they are not perfect, even if they have flaw.
And so I hope to hold a get together, a Festival if you will, in dark times I see no better way to push past it than to band together, to share with one another our hopes, dreams, accomplishments, and most importantly our love for one another and our love for our land. Under Her light do we thrive and grow as does our world. I hope we can show our appreciation for all in the coming years."
A festival to be held, of Hope and of Love, for all to mingle and bring forth what drives them.
To catch up with old friends, to kindle relationships with new ones.
To show their appreciation for all around.
