To carry out the ritual, Talon divided everyone into three groups. The core group consisted of Talon and those playing the harp in the rocky valley.
The second group, led by the Captain, was stationed at the storm's boundary, while the third group was tasked with running to the highest hill to watch for signals from the second group.
Conveniently, the highest point lay along the same ridge as the rocky valley.
As the ritual began, someone from Talon's group blew a bamboo trumpet, a sound that would signal the group on the hill.
The ritual itself would take about two hours.
Once the hill group received the trumpet's signal, they would ignite a handmade firework crafted from bamboo and launch it into the sky.
This would notify the Captain's group at the storm's edge that the ritual had begun.
With no advanced equipment at their disposal, everything was done manually, relying on careful timing and coordination.
