A Demon's Heart.

Chapter twenty-two: Peace and Fish

               It was getting dark, the mountains looked dark blue, not black, and as the moons were getting out, some lots of shooting stars appeared.... The clouds dispersed, the sky was clear, billions of stars were visible, and then the "Essence Lights" started to appear.... The people called them like that as proof of My existence, since they share my colors, but they were only Auroras on the sky. This is why I love My people, even the simplest things were significant to them.... They would find faith in anything I created as long as they felt Me close....

               Aliana and Mirghreel slept for the night as they were watching the beautiful scenery in front of them. The people from the caravans took the whole ride with ease, taking them a long d time... 2 days passed, and when the suns were rising, they got up and say the beautiful lands and vast plains surrounding Coldnaught. There was movement in the surroundings, especially near the beach.... The shores were icy, making it easy for fishers to carry bags and the like across the frozen water... At the distance you could see the waters that were not frozen, almost full of different ships from other Provinces of other continents, like Fireveil from Esargosen, Kangliadesh from Hardelia, who circumnavigated the continent to fish the rare fish specimen found there, Starlight from Lidingoth, and distant places as Tironduk. Indeed the town was lively, full of many races all there forming a team never seen commonly to fish.... A normal activity.

               It's not too common to the continents to swallow their prides and differences, as well as their grudges of fights throughout the ages, and together-- fish, until night or for weeks, making tournaments, contests of who's captured the biggest fish, and the like.... Peace was a thing that this world mostly never had, but these small things make differences, necessary differences, to change itself, from the base to the rest.... Peace is contagious, not an excuse.

                 Aliana quickly went out for the burial mound after unpacking, it was in a small island not so far from the shores of Coldnaught, since the majority of the shores were frozen, Aliana and Mirghreel could make it on foot in a few minutes, provided with the right equipment of course.... Aliana was preparing her arrows, as Mirghreel prepared a brew of holy water, blessed with the hands of us, the gods. When all was set, they went out; although they wanted to see the fishing endeavors which were sometimes very useless since they were difficult to catch they still had a job, and information to gather. The snow was starting to come to an end, meaning the whole scenario was getting clearer and not so foggy, except for the waters.
