Eboti stood by the door listening to her parents conversation. She was shocked that the Demon King will be attending their moon festival. The moon festival is a time were people fine their partners.
This take place once a year and only during a full moon. The festival begins on the first full moon. When the moon appears full for the first time every man and woman who are eligible for marriage walks to the mwe river and dig themselves in once then walk back home in total silence. They will depend only on the light of the moon to light their part to the steam and back to their homes.
The next day the maidens will have to wear white long rapper everywhere they go so as to inform the men that they are ready for marriage.
The third day which is the last was when the maidens do the moon dance and get choose by interested men.
I have never liked this festival. I have thought of getting married someday but with someone I love and care for and he loves and care for me too. I want a relationship were our feelings are mutual not some marriage were the man just lost over my beauty just because he saw me dancing in the festival. Thinking of it make me anxious, my parents are already planning on preparing me for the festival but I don't want to partake in it, ohh what should I do.
with lazy steps I entered my room and sat by the bed. My sister was already fast at sleep. Looking at her relaxed face made me calm down my nerves and soon I fell asleep.
