A Tale From The Past [Part 1]

More than a week had passed since Ethan had come to the Oswald Barony.

After finally being accepted as Luna’s fiance, the young man was able to get along with his future in-laws. The only ones who probably still carried a hint of resentment were Luna’s older brothers, Rowan, Dennis, and Erik.

Even so, they didn’t make any move to get in the way of the relationship between the two, and every day passed in peace.

Finally, the Night of the Solstice arrived.

Ethan stood at a clearing, not far from the Oswald Residence.

Snow had fallen heavily over the past few days, but tonight, the sky was clear.

The majesty of the star-filled sky looked down upon the world, and the people who treated this night as a special one began their preparations for their vigil that would last until sunrise the next day.

Back in the Lands of Alastor, Lily had taught Ethan about her family’s tradition for the Night of the Winter Solstice.
