+Eastern District+
~Runic Tavern~
The wooden door to the tavern swung open and entered Fiora along with Katarina and Akali. The tavern was empty as it was closed and everyone had left for the festival save the three gorgeous ladies at the bar. Their gazes met those of the trio at the bar and each exchanged their greetings. Katarina and Akali sat next to Leblanc on her left and Fiora joined Riven behind the bar.
"We should head out to the town square soon, the nighttime festival performances will start as soon as then sun goes down." stated Fiora as she removed her hat.
"Let me get changed and then we could go." said Riven as she walked into the backroom.
"Even though you look cuter in this outfit my sweet lil' bunny." replied Fiora with a wink.
"I'm surprised she can tolerate a flirt like you." said Syndra twirling her glass of wine.
"I am not a flirt, mon ami." replied a somewhat offended Fiora.
"Really? You sure seem like one to me." said Katarina questioningly with a raised brow.
"Fiora, you may not notice it but the words just fly out of your mouth every time you open it." stated Syndra.
"T-that is neither insulting or true." replied Fiora sipping on a glass of wine she just poured.
"Guess your tongue isn't as sharp as your blade." said Leblanc nonchalantly.
"Why do I feel like everyone is ganging up on me right now?" stated Fiora worriedly.
"Oh? I never knew you couldn't handle a little tease?" replied Katarina acting uncaring while checking her nails.
"Can you just keep your mouth shut? I swear you're looking for a fight every time you speak?" replied an angry Fiora.
"Am I now? Surely I've been on my best behavior." said Katarina as she acted innocently.
"Can I throw you in jail?" deadpanned the duelist.
"You're very welcomed to." said Leblanc blandly.
"Hmm, she should throw you in jail as well?" said Syndra jokingly.
"Will the both of you keep quiet!?" yelled Riven, the warrior returned from the backroom dressed in a more festive garb.
"Sorry, my dear." apologized Fiora immediately.
"Wow, just wow." spoke Katarina surprised at the duelist's sudden switch.
"You got a problem, scar face?" retorted Fiora somewhat pissed.
"Oh no, baguette wielder over here is gonna kill me." cried Katarina with a mocking tone.
"I'm so going to stab you one day." stated Fiora coldly.
"Why not just do it right now?" replied Katarina trying to get the duelist to snap.
"Can the both of you just stop?! You are so rude! Kat!" snapped Akali as she couldn't stand the stupidity any longer.
"Why'd you get mad at me for?" asked Katarina.
"Cause you started it." stated Syndra blandly.
"You're not helping ..." said Katarina.
"Why should I?" asked Syndra.
"We are leaving right now! If the both of you act like this once more then neither of you may enter my tavern again!" yelled a very angry Riven.
With that everyone left the Runic Tavern and headed towards the town square. On the way, Katarina was being lectured by Akali about the way she behaved while Fiora on the other hand was apologizing to Riven. Regretting some of her actions, Katarina apologized to both Akali and Fiora for her attitude. There were no hard feelings or grudges to be hold, therefore everyone proceeded to the town square with high spirits to meet up with Ahri, Irelia and Karma.
The sun was setting, dyeing the sky with shades of orange, vermilion, yellow and deep pink. The faint glow of the sun, emitting rays of warmth to embrace the townsfolk of this little town before it retires for the day. Soon the pale glow of the moon would be visible in the vast night sky. The lanterns lining the streets were lit up as the sky turned a darker shade and welcoming the night was the silver moon. The streets were illuminated with an atmosphere of nostalgia, and at the center of the town everyone has gathered to view the nighttime festivities.
+Spring Festival Square+
"Karma, I'm so excited!" squealed Ahri.
"So am I, it's truly exhilarating." replied Karma with a faint smile.
"Hey look! They're here!" said Irelia joyfully.
The crowd were awestruck as the group of gorgeous beauties walked into the festival square. Leblanc the well-known Deceiver and Syndra the almighty Sovereign were casually strolling along side-by-side in their elegant Chinese Dresses. Besides that, the formally dressed Fiora and femininely dressed Riven were holding hands while having a conversation. But a certain ninja just bolted straight pass everyone and tackle hugged Irelia. Katarina casually walked along the group with her hands folded.
"Irelia! You're always so hug-able." Murmured Akali from Irelia's cleavage.
"Haha, you're lively as always too." said Irelia a little embarrassed.
"You made it in time for the lantern lighting ceremony." said Ahri pointing at the many paper lanterns arranged in the middle of the square.
"I'm glad we did, or Akali will nag my head off." responded Katarina worriedly.
One of the Elders called upon Irelia, the town's most beloved hero to light the first paper lantern of the Lunar Festival. Irelia walked up to the platform and took the lit candle from the Elder and lit the paper lantern. As the first lantern was lit and set free to fly up into the starry night sky, the Lunar Festival's nighttime festivities has officially begun.
Music could be heard as everyone started dancing, drinking, eating and drowning themselves in joy. The beating of taiko drums sounded throughout the entire city as the traditional rhythmic songs were being drummed. Performers were out and about putting their all into the nighttime performances which consisted of many types of traditional dances and musical scores.
Our beloved ladies were all enjoying themselves by consuming many scrumptious delicacies and beverages. Akali had excitedly pulled Katarina towards the middle of the square and started dancing. Syndra, Leblanc and Fiora were drinking and eating along with their lovely partners as well. Karma on the other hand was no where to be found...
+Random Alleyway+
Karma was walking down a secluded alleyway near the festival square. Looking around with only the faint light emanating from the magic glow produced by her left hand, trying to find what she's looking for.
"Karma?" whispered a gentle voice.
"Soraka?" replied Karma turning around to meet a pair golden orbs.
The pair of bright eyes belonged to the Starchild, Soraka. Whom Karma invited to join her at the festival.
"You decided to come, I am so happy you're here." beamed Karma as she embraced the starchild in a hug.
"I can't let you have all the fun now, can I?" stated Soraka with a giggle.
"Surely I bet you can, but why rendezvous at an alley?" said Karma questioningly.
"I'm still nervous about showing myself..." said Soraka shyly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, you're stunning and beautiful." replied Karma, holding Soraka's hands up to her cheeks.
"You sure know how to flatter me." stated Soraka with a blush.
"I'm not always serious, I can be romantic too." said Karma planting a soft kiss upon Soraka's right hand.
"Hmm, you're so sweet." murmured Soraka.
"Let us go indulge ourselves in the celebration now, shall we?" said Karma as she pulled Soraka out of the alleyway.
The two lovebirds went about the many streets, checking the various vendors and tasting many delicious foods and beverages throughout the night. Besides that, they payed the shrines a visit and offered their prayers as well as drawing their fortunes for the year. The unique couple drawn the attention of many eyes but they payed them no mind as they were having so much fun together for the first time in public that they felt extremely blessed and content. May the gods above bless them with prosperity and watch over them as they progress together throughout the many years that they will be spending happily together.
