[SWE] Festival of Lights 311 PC

A panther in the night, a fire burning bright. Ray arrived in Halo after a long and cold trip. But it was the Festival of Lights and she refused to miss it, especially after all of the hard work she'd put into her lantern. Upon arriving, she found the perfect location and hung her lantern. It was a small paper lantern with the shapes of chamomile flowers for her mom, and coyotes for her dad, cut out. The holes were covered with transparent paper and the outlines of the shapes were painted. The flower edges were painted to reflect the natural colors. But the coyotes were outlined in black like a silhouette. The small candle within shown light out through the transparent paper. Giving the lantern a little spin gave the illusion of a coyote running through a field of chamomile. Ray grinned, very pleased with results. It had taken a lot of work and thought, but her lantern was even better than she had ever hoped. Done hanging her lantern, she glanced around to see who else was here. r a y The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. —Albert Camus
