In the afternoon in the mountains, the sunlight through the gaps between the branches and leaves, sprinkled on the ground covered with dead leaves, forming a piece of swaying light spots. The breeze is mixed with the smell of mud and moss, and it drifts in, gently taking away some of the summer heat. If you quietly listen carefully, there will be birds singing to the accompaniment of the gurgling stream.

Not a Sight, Not a Sound
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Three young people stealthily make their way through the trees, splashing through the moonlit puddles, visible only due to the bright yellow raincoats that their parents had insisted that they wear in case it rained. The parents had, as they frequently were, been right.

Night falls, the cool wind is shivering, the lights in the distance are still swaying. The teenager stood in the woods outside the village, holding a hunting bow in his left hand and a feathered arrow in his right hand, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was waiting for something.

In the corner of the town market, more and more people gathered around the young girl. The old man puffed on his pipe, the woman gently coaxed the toddler in her arms, and the children gobbled up the snacks they had just boughtas if in a competition to see who could finish them before they went home.

The Decision
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The only building within viewing distance to the abandoned cabin was a house not much larger, home to a middle-aged couple. Upon seeing the light in their neighbor’s window, the man called out to his wife, Alandra, from the kitchen. “I believe someone has finally purchased the old Barlett cabin.” After a few moments, he heard her shuffling feet and the rhythmic tap, tap, tap of her cane connecting with the hardwood floors. She took her usual place next to him looking out the window above the large double sink. They stared in silence, memories settling over them like an oppressive winter fog. Khai suppressed a shudder at the scene that haunted his deepest nightmares, one of torn flesh and blood. Thankfully, his wife pulled him from the memory with a light touch on his arm, he placed his hand over hers in grateful appreciation. He looked over at her in alarm as her hand was ice cold even though it was in the middle of a warm spring night. Taking her cold hands in his, he tried to massage his warmth into her. Meeting her light amber eyes, he caught glimpses of several emotions passing over her face too quick to discern their meaning but finally landing on quiet interest.

A busy and pleasant atmosphere is permeating the entire village, and the faces of the villagers are overflowing with expressions that seem to surface only at the time of New Year's Eve. Everyone is methodically carrying out the work at hand, setting up tables, putting incense burners, slaughtering cows and goats, in preparation for a grand ritual.

After several days of unpleasant weather combinations of cloudy, rainy, and cloudy days, perhaps the Lord also felt that if things went on like this, even he might be scolded several times in the hearts of women who wanted to dry their quilts, and had to fondly release a sunny day, and cunningly chose the day of the market, so that people had to ignore the boredom of the previous days for a while and go out to have a good time first.
