The cold breeze in the air, the comforting glow of the moon, the countless Mobians in that certain place at the certain time; every year they celebrated, every year they remember.
Remember the peace that was given to them.
United, they were able to be free of disturbances of any sort. Ranging from various phenomenon to the unknown creatures in the vast forests and jungles all around.
Every year, they would celebrate their undefeated victory with the annual lighting of lanterns. Each one bringing the peaceful light to the heart wrenching darkness.
Oh, the overwhelming breeze
And darkness ever blinding
Their voices echoed through the air, each one in harmony with the other.
The reign of terror made to seize
Have our strength to be combining
They held torches in their hands, ready to be set alight.
Stand together, with no fear
Hold your focus, vision clear
Keep calm as they draw on near
Forbid forsaken arts
And bring light to the dark
They all banged their torches against the wooden table in front of them, creating a continuous beat to fill in their anticipation.
Witches! Monsters! Sorcery! Gore!
They're unwanted; we need no more!
So arm yourself to bring its end
Take a shot and it'll be dead! Hah!
A firecracker raced across the table, causing all torches to light up in a blazing fire. The Mobians all raised their torches with pride.
Oh, the overwhelming breeze
And darkness ever blinding
They started marching down the alley, lighting each lamp they pass by as a glorious reminder.
The reign of terror made to seize
Have our strength to be combining
As the amount of lamps left unlit lessened, the leader of the group charged up forward, making her stand out from the rest.
Stand together, with no fear
Hold your focus, vision clear
One lamp remained. The leader slowly approached forward, slipping her white hoodie off only to expose her lavender shaded fur.
Keep calm as they draw on near
Forbid forsaken arts
She bent forward slightly so her face was in lined with the one last lamp. Her grey eyes shined as she eyed the torch that went towards the lamp, finally making it blaze alight. She closed her eyes and let a single breath escape her before she turned around and left.
"This is for you, my sweet Upsilon."
And bring light to the dark...
