Awakening event
The festival had become very quiet. The usual active chatting and laughing had been replaced by a shocked stillness, as if the very air had lost its energy.
Even the lady vendor stood frozen inside the fries stand, widened her eyes and fingers as everyone began to emit lights from their bodies.
Families huddled close, children glancing around with puzzled expressions, sensing the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
"What is happening, mommy?" The kid asked innocently.
The mother would only look at her child and hug her child, "I don't know what's happening but mommy felt like it was good news…"
Slowly, almost without meaning to, the crowd's gaze was drawn downward, to the bracelets now covering their left wrists.
These strange decorations had simply appeared, as if by magic, and the people only stared at them in fear.
What is this thing?
What is the purpose of this?
Where had they come from?
