They gradually walked back to the treehouse engaging in small talk As they approached the tree they said their good night. " I'll see you later " Zenith says to them as they did their group hugging. She was happy to be part of the group. She smiled as she went home. She groaned as she pushed her hair out of her face . "Why do I keep waking up at odd hours of the night" she sighs glancing at the clock that read 3:30 a.m.

Mom asked, changing the topic. “Of course I am,” I said. Once a year we gather up and set a bonfire at midnight where we offer an animal sacrifice to the moon goddess and sing her praises until dawn. It was a festival we all were excited about and luckily for me, this year it coincided with my most important birthday. “I have a feeling something big is waiting for me tonight,” I said.
