The Festival of Fireworks (& Magic)

As the longest day of the year graced Inazuma with its lingering twilight, the city prepared for a celebration unlike any other. It is Friday, the 21st of June, the birthday of Yoimiya, the queen of the summer festival and the master pyrotechnician of Naganohara Fireworks.

The streets buzzed with excitement, adorned with colorful banners and lanterns, all leading to the open square where the main event would take place. Yoimiya, with her infectious enthusiasm, had promised a display that would outshine the stars.

Children and adults alike gathered, their eyes wide with anticipation, as Yoimiya took the stage. "Tonight, we celebrate not just my birthday, but the joy of life itself!" she declared, her voice carrying over the crowd.

With a flourish, she lit the fuse of the first firework, and the sky erupted in a cascade of colors. Each explosion was a symphony of light, choreographed to tell the story of Inazuma's history and the people's hopes for the future.

But the grand finale was yet to come. As the final firework soared into the sky, it burst into a spectacle of gold and crimson, forming the image of a phoenix. The crowd gasped in awe, the symbol of rebirth and new beginnings a fitting tribute to Yoimiya's spirit.

Amidst the applause, a young child approached Yoimiya with a small, handmade firework. "For you," the child said shyly, "to thank you for making my world brighter."

Yoimiya knelt down, accepting the gift with a gentle smile. "Thank you, little one. This is the best birthday present I could ever ask for."

As the night drew to a close, the people of Inazuma left with hearts full of light and memories that would last a lifetime. And Yoimiya, surrounded by friends and the remnants of her art, knew that this birthday, this moment of shared wonder, was a reflection of the beauty she sought to bring into the world.

As the last firework faded into the night, a hush fell over the crowd. Yoimiya looked around, her expression one of curiosity. "Is there more?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement.

From the shadows, a figure emerged, his presence commanding yet playful. It was Lyney, the enigmatic traveler known for his captivating illusions from Fontaine. With a mischievous grin, he bowed before Yoimiya. "Happy birthday, Queen of the Summer Festival. Allow me to add a touch of magic to your special day."

With a flourish of his hands, Lyney began his performance. Cards flew through the air, each one turning into a butterfly as it touched the sky. A silk scarf transformed into a stream of flowers, and a simple coin dance captivated the onlookers.

But the true spectacle was yet to come. Lyney beckoned Yoimiya forward, a twinkle in his eye. "For my final trick, I need an assistant. Will you join me?"

Yoimiya nodded, her own eyes alight with the thrill of the unknown. Lyney whispered a spell, and suddenly, they were both enveloped in a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, Yoimiya was holding a single, glowing sparkler, its light reflecting the joy in her eyes.

"The magic of fireworks is not just in the sky, but in the hearts of those who create them," Lyney said, his voice soft yet clear. "May this sparkler remind you of the wonder you bring to us all."

The crowd erupted in cheers, their applause a melody that rivaled the earlier fireworks. Yoimiya, her heart full, thanked Lyney for the unforgettable gift. As the night came to a close, the memory of the magic show lingered, a testament to the enchantment that Yoimiya-and now Lyney-brought to Inazuma.
