Springtime had done Abby a lot of good after suffering all winter. It felt like she had come alive again so she spent as much time as humanly possible outside.
A lot of that time was spent directing plays. Their dumb little recreation of Lord of the Rings that had been put on for a second time during the festival celebrating the mountain spirits' breathing life back into nature at the beginning of spring had been universally popular.
Even people from Raisha had been present because the festival was celebrated throughout the entire clan. Several children from the other village wanted to be a part of it too and put up quite a fuss.
It was decided that a different play would be put on that they could participate in. All they had to do was find a place to stay in Ilmir for about a week for rehearsals before the performance.
