Customary to the people of Februa to celebrate the rotation of the walls every year. It signifies many important events for the people in the land. It marks the new year and it starts the new set of fresh buds of bamboo that will bear new set of pure Februans. The celebration is a total opposite to the land of Janus because to them, it signifies new beginning and new people.
The people of Fedor gathered so early in the morning in the designated spot of the door to celebrate the people who will take the journey for the other land. It was ended and rather scary thing to go on adventure into some place unknown but some Februan's are driven by their curiosity but mostly, their dream.
Icarus and Ace woke up earlier than they expected due to the commotion of people outside. They took their things and pack important stuff that they could carry. They walked outside their door and the first person they saw was the majestic Craytos waiting for them.
"Finally, you are awake." He spoke to the two who was obviously surprised.
"Sir Craytos, good morning." Ace Answered back.
"It would be best if we will go to the door together. The crowd is thickening and in all honesty, I don't like being in huge crowd. I feel weak." Sir Craytos spoke.
"With your grace Sir, I believe they wouldn't notice you are already weak. You look majestic." Icarus spoke to the giant Februan.
Sir Craytos only smiled.
The three of them are now walking towards the door, facing the crowd of februan's celebrating their departure. The crowd was holding giant leaves of bamboos, waving them in uniform motion for their good luck in their adventure. The three reluctantly waved their hands back to the crowd. They were celebrated like heroes but they hadn't done anything yet.
Right now, they are already faced to face with the wall. the whooshing sound of air can be heard above the walls and the cracking sound of rocks is almost audible. The two lads felt very intimidated especially Icarus. He never left his home this long and this time, there is no guarantee that he will be returning to the Februa.
"Icarus, stay with me all the time. We will start this adventure together and end this adventure together. I promise you, wherever I go, I will always have you." Ace spoke to his friend.
Icarus intimidating feeling faded. He held his friends hand and looked towards the wall.
Without any second wasted, a loud rumble of sound was heard. It was heard all over the place. The place started to shake and the walls started to move to the east. The two boys tried to stay by their feet while Sir Craytos was not moved at all. The crowd also fell down from the shaking of the land.
Suddenly, a certain portion of the wall was revealed. It was a closed door made out of wood, aged by the weather and time. It towered them hugh above them. The tip of the wall is almost invisible to the eye so, who knows how far the door stretches.
"So this is the famous door." Sir Craytos spoke.
The two lads looked at it and despite being aged, the door is very majestic. There are notable carvings in the door but due to it's age, almost all of the carvings are unidentifiable.
A loud thump was heard and followed by a loud and long creaking of wood. Slowly, the door opened revealing a dark other side.
An old februan came forward. "The door is now ready. All adventurers, prepare yourself for the next land you're going to see. Best of luck to you three."
Ace, Icarus and Craytos nodded to the village elder. Slowly, they walked towards the door. There was a feeling of fear but to Ace's surprise, he felt a lot more excited. It was a start of his big journey towards the sun and he is positive he can overcome whatever obstacles he will face in the next land. He was able to survive Februa when he was only a baby. Right now, he is more confident.
Or so he thought…
