Winter Rose Festival

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

From the camp, through the dessert and down into the mine caverns leading to a main cavern a row of safely enclosed candles lit the way as a road to the festival location. Jiyu was already there ahead of time, having prepared the festival. The luminescent crystals deep within the cavern glowed softly, the ones in the ceiling twinkling like stars that didn't shine over the dessert tonight due to the brewing storm out there. She had spent the entire few days before setting up the cavern, it wasn't complicated but on tables, in wreaths and strewn around brightly colored ghost plant succulents, a few beautiful flowers like winecup, poppy and dessert sage, which took forever for the calico to do considering her fear of plants. In the very center of the cavern? A Sissoo tree of about eight feet was settled, oddly not a decoration placed upon it.

"That can go right there." a few NPC's and such had already entered the cavern, having volunteered to help her set food upon the tables, most of which had also been made by volunteers due to her injuries. She had seen so many holidays pass by, meaningless at this point for the most part. "If anyone has time we still need a center piece for the feast, a ram, an ibex, one of the wild horses running around or an antelope would do." Jiyu moved after speaking, slowly crossing the cavern to try pushing one of the boxes she had hidden later, forcing herself to place it next to the tree. "We'll be decorating our tree with small flower wreaths to symbolize our loved ones, the year and anything else you may want." only she'd be doing everything possible to get out of it, she had enough flowers this week to make her barf, including the ones that still need removed from her home.
