The atmosphere of the town was cheerful. Young couples were the first in the line to gather at the lakeside. After them were the towners and other people who flew here to witness the magical night.
When so many people gather it is hard for the atmosphere to be calm. Excitement hidden in the people's voices could be heard loud and clear. As they opened their baskets and lay their picnic mats on the ground. Everyone prepares the drinks and then holds their lantern in their hands while their partner helps them to light the candle.
The atmosphere was scenic. Watchers held their breaths and rubbed their palms anxiously waiting for the moment.
And then out of nowhere a bullet pierced through the night. Gaining everyone's attention and it becomes a pin-dropped silence.
Sophie and Acera, who had just managed to set up their picnic mat and pull out drinks from the basket, still heard the sound of the bullet hitting something.
