The beach: Monday night
There was a bonfire on the beach, burning merrily against the darkness.
Karal had spent the hours before sunset gathering wood, arranging it carefully so it would catch easily and burn well, and now he sat, wrapped in his cloak, watching the fire.
Altra sat next to him - well, sprawled on a blanket next to him - grooming a paw. :You're going to stay here all night.: It wasn't really a question.
"Until dawn," he replied, glancing down at the 'cat. "As is the tradition."
It was the vigil against the darkness, to ensure the time between one year and the next passed smoothly. In Karse, it would have been held in the great Temple, by a convocation of Sun-priests, novices, and acolytes, but here there was only him.
"Luckily it's only a small island," he whispered, head tipped back to smile up at the stars.
[ooc: it is totally open if anyone wants.]
