A promise in Abyss: War And Destiny

፪

It's a new day and the festivities continued.
The evening was warm and the sun was just beginning to set as Mihret arrived at the potluck, held in a local hangout area in the centre of town.
The scene was a traditional party, with the guests dressed in their finest traditional clothes and the decorations adorned with traditional symbols and colours. The atmosphere was lively and festive, with people dancing and chatting in small groups. The food was a delicious spread of traditional dishes, prepared by the young community members themselves. The guests enjoyed traditional drinks while listening to the music of cultural instruments and songs. Mihret was dressed in a flowing white chiffon dress that caught the breeze, her dark hair cascading down her shoulders in a Gamee as she walked in. She looked around and spotted Timint, standing near the table of food and drinks, dressed in his traditional attire. Their eyes met and a familiar spark of attraction passed between them for the second time.
Their friends and family mingled and chatted amongst themselves, Mihret and Timint found themselves drawn to each other, drawn by the magnetic pull of their attraction. They laughed and talked, again sharing stories and learning more about each other. The night was alive with the sounds of music and laughter, and the delicious aromas of food wafted through the air.
As the party continued, Mihret and Timint found themselves dancing together, their bodies moving in perfect harmony with the beat of the music. They were lost in their own world, oblivious to the other people around them. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and as the night wore on, they grew increasingly drawn to each other.

The party was a beautiful representation of the community's culture and heritage, and it was clear that the guests were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Even then, through all the fun and intoxication they both knew that their love was forbidden. Their age difference, coupled with the fact that their fathers held powerful positions in their community, made their relationship impossible. But despite the societal pressures and the expectations of their families, they couldn't deny the feelings that they had for one another.
Timint was a young man of privilege, the son of a prominent military leader in the community. He was well-educated and had a bright future ahead of him. Mihret, on the other hand, was from a humble background. Regardless of her father's rank in the military, she had grown up working hard. Despite their many differences, they had a strong connection, and they found themselves drawn to one another.
