A rather nice evening & night

Our eventful day in Aquaveil continues with the actual celebration of the Festival. Once everyone was set and ready the real guests arrived! The villages' kids! It was so so nice and refreshing entertaining the little ones! And they all are so sweet and well behaved, I had a lovely time! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves along with the kiddos too and also seeing our group relax and have fun was such a joy!
For a bit Shurr was gone but they joined for the fireworks display! Glad they didn't miss that one! Seeing Lee play the violin with Soot and Shurr dancing was such a sight. I also noticed that Yunseul was keeping company to Mary, they are so sweet.
 
But as the festival was winding down Kaelen showed us to the catacombs. He explained that not many can enter and tonight would be the best chance we may have to explore them. And so we did! It was a truly breathtaking place, surrounded by ice and magic and spirits...Such a unique beauty. We solved puzzles and I am truly glad everyone was there and had the chance to suggest their take on each! It was nice seeing how others' think in such a setting and I feel like we are a good team! I mean I already thought of that but by the end even Kaelen was admitting it! The whole catacombs rumors and tales were part of a test one could say, and we succeeded,of course! Poor Xiu Mei was kept behind and had no idea.
BUT OH! At least we got to meet a cute little thing,Spikes. Sweet little water spirit?Elemental? It was cute and liked pets. It was the whom we needed to defeat so we can move forwards in the catacombs but also we needed to solve a puzzle at the same time! But yeah-- that's how we found out this was all a form of trial(?)!
Before we had to leave we were allowed to look around to take something as a keepsake. I came across a rather interesting looking artifact. It felt as if it had a pull on me,wanting to be with me and so I took it~! I made sure to leave something behind as a tribute to the ones resting here as well, I just hope we didn't disturb their rest much.
 
But that is all for now! Day was long and I might be missing some details here and there,but soon our second day in Aquaveil will rise and i am so excited to see what more discoveries this place holds for us!
