Aumakua comes alight in the dead of Flowerbirth's first midnight. The blaze of a hundred torches and the beat of angry feet soil whatever peace is to be had. Bloodthirsty shouts fling across the grassy knolls. Torchliners from all walks of life are present. Thieves, smugglers, merchants, landowners; elite citizens among the poorest of men. They don't want answers anymore. They want justice. And they want to take it into their own hands. Their differences have been set aside for one common goal:
It starts with taunting, the people raising angry pitchforks along with their voices. Torchlight glares in through the windows of one governor's little cave-house. It condemns him for everything he's done - and everything he's about to pay for. Their angry song fills the air, drowning out all else with fury and vindication.
"Face us, coward!"
"Ya brought us nothun' but trouble, ya filthy Outlandar!"
"Ye'll never be one of us!"
And the first stone is cast, slung through a window that shatters with a sound that only seems to spur the crowd on. Only it's not a stone at all, but a molotov cocktail that hungrily catches fire to the house within.
"Come on out, boy!" An old man shouts through a gap in his teeth, spittle flying, "'ere's no escape now!"
Kill the beast!

It's all just for you, Sunjata.
