፩

The city of Abyss was alive with excitement as the annual cultural celebration got underway. People from all over the region had gathered to take part in the festivities, filling the streets with a vibrant energy that was impossible to ignore.

18-year-old Mihret was no exception. As she walked through the bustling streets, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy in her heart. Growing up in Abyss, she had always felt a deep connection to the city. For Mihret, this annual celebration was a chance to celebrate not just her culture, but also her home.

As she made her way through the crowds, she couldn't help but marvel at the sights and sounds that surrounded her. Everywhere she looked, there were colourful displays of art and music, each one more beautiful and captivating than the last. The streets were lined with vendors selling all manner of goods, from hand-crafted pottery to delicious street food.

Despite the crowds, Mihret felt at ease as she moved through the streets. She knew many of the people around her, having grown up in the city. They greeted her warmly and chatted with her as she passed by, each conversation adding to the sense of community and belonging that she felt.

As the day went on, Mihret found herself drawn to the central square, where a grand stage had been set up for the main event of the celebration. Here, local performers would come to showcase their talents and entertain the crowd. Mihret had always loved watching the performances and this year was no different.

As she took her seat among the crowd, Mihret felt a sense of anticipation building within her. She knew that the performers were going to be the best the city had to offer, and she couldn't wait to see what they had in store.

The first performer to take the stage was a local musician, who played a beautiful and haunting melody on his Krar. Mihret was entranced by the music, and she felt her spirits lift as she listened. The musician was followed by a group of dancers, who moved gracefully across the stage, their movements perfectly in sync with the music. Mihret couldn't help but be impressed by their skill and artistry.

As the performers came and went, Mihret found herself becoming more and more caught up in the celebration. She laughed and clapped along with the crowd, feeling a sense of joy and connection that she had never experienced before.

As the sun began to set and the celebration came to a close, Mihret realized that this annual event had once again brought her people together, united them in a common cause, and made her feel proud of her heritage and her home. The memories of this day will stay with her forever, as a reminder of the beauty and vitality of the city of Abyss, and of the strong sense of community that existed within its walls. The cultural celebration continued into the night, with bonfires being lit and traditional songs and stories being shared. Mihret joined in with the singing, her voice blending seamlessly with those around her. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so alive and connected to her community.

The night went on, Mihret found herself thinking about her future. Growing up with a father who was a high-ranking general, she had always felt a sense of responsibility to serve her country in some way. But she had never been sure what path she wanted to take.

Mihret walked through the crowded streets of the cultural celebration, she suddenly came face to face with an old friend from her childhood. Timint was someone she had grown up with, but as they had grown older, their paths had diverged and they had lost touch.
At first, Mihret was surprised to see him again, but as they began to talk and catch up on old times, she couldn't help but feel a spark of attraction. Timint too seemed captivated by the young woman she had become. They laughed and reminisced about their shared memories, and Mihret found herself feeling more alive and connected than she had in a long time.
As the night went on, they walked around the festival together, taking in the sights and sounds of the celebration. They talked about their hopes and dreams for the future, and Mihret found herself feeling more and more drawn to Timint. She couldn't deny the chemistry that seemed to be building between them.
As the festival came to a close and people began to make their way home, Mihret reluctantly said goodbye to Timint. She knew that she would be thinking about him for days to come, and couldn't wait to see him again. As a she walked home with her brother, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation at the thought of what might come next in her relationship with Timint.
