[SWE] Festival of Lights - 318 PC

kaiden

There is no shame in survival
Only strength

Kaiden had been tempted into the festivities once more by the promise of a free meal. The King was determined to see them socialize apparently. Grumbling at Hadama, the mer reluctantly nodded before eying the shore. Unlike any previous year, the mershark had actually brought a lantern. It wasn't for a friend, lover, or family member. But for someone, or someones far more important. The lives of the fish and other delectable creatures that Kaiden had hunted in the past year. The Void mess had made hunting difficult for some time and although the oceans were clearing up now, it had felt necessary to bring a lantern.

What if the hunting got worse and the spirits of those they had consumed cursed the mer to starve? Kaiden couldn't have that. Grumpily instructing a Fae on where to hang their lantern and what foods to grab, the mershark found themselves lounging on the bank and snacking as they glared at anyone who got close to them. Those who dared brave their range would get a splash of water to the face.

Kaiden arrives for the food. (And with a lantern to honor their past meals.)
