The twilight is not over yet, yet the streets have already started to gather crowds. The atmosphere of the celebration seems to spread silently and invisibly.
Of course, this Desert Day celebration is far less lively and noisy than what he witnessed during the Winter Festival in Dulun - the Istania People seem to have their own unique view on celebrations. On the dust-covered streets, there are only sporadic passers-by, each holding a glowing Crystal, quietly gathering towards the Royal Palace - like a Light Dragon in the darkness.
People often place fire, dryness, and heat in the same context. Similarly, fire has a special meaning in desert culture, as if it's inherited from the creation myth of the Xinsas Serpentfolk - the world is born from fire and all things will eventually perish in a great fire.
