Small disclaimer before you read, the song above should be played once I say and I DO NOT OWN THE SONG. My only connection with it, is that I have played it at my band concert for school. I will have a symbol when you guys know it's time to play it and there will be a certain time(s) where there will be singing parts (mainly for Kidelia). Just saying I wrote out lyric parts for this.... Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Symbol when to play: 🎬

The workers showed them to their room, which was quite spacey. It had a grand view of the street where the parade would take place and the bonfire, which was already crowded with many people. There was two beds and two bathrooms. Both of the beds were queen sized and could fit two people. The black leather couch had a roll out bed. They decided that Aymer would get the roll out bed, Destiny and Lucas would get one of the queen sized beds and so would Claire and Scarlett.

As they were getting settled, a knock was heard from the door. " I'll get it!" Aymer said. He opened it and saw Kido holding a tray full of food. When he saw this, he immediately moved out of the way. The tray held 5 bowls of soup and bread. Kido had set it on the glassy table where the roll out bed was. A bowl of fruit salad was being carried by one of the other workers as she put it down where Kido had set the tray of soup and bread.

" Well eat up, after this we'll go to the bonfire and meet up with Kishi," Kido said smiling afterwards. Hope that terrible father of ours is living a peaceful hell, Kido thought to himself. His smile had turned into a bitter frown, he snapped out of it once he noticed that they were staring at him. " I'm going to take my leave now to get ready".

He left leaving the group dumbfounded and hungry. They had gladly took the food.

Brought to you by dinner!

A knock was heard again, and this time Scarlett had gotten the door. It was Kido again, but this time he was wearing completely different attire then his working clothes. He was wearing long brown trousers that was folded into a cuff around his small feet, a long white shirt that was covered with a brown vest and an overcoat that reached his knees. To top it off, he was wearing a brown cap. Around his neck was a gold chain locket. He didn't open it, but there was a small picture of him and Kishi with their father.

" Looking dapper there Kido," Claire said in her short green kimono. It wasn't that formal at all, but it was what she had.

" Everyone come here!" the group followed as Kido said and gathered around one of the beds. " Kishi and I have prepared clothes for all of you since you don't have anything formal for The Griffin Festival".

" Can't exactly blame us for not having anything nice to wear, we came from running out of the dark forest and couldn't find any clues to the disappearance of Danielle," Destiny said looking down at the floor to avoid eye contact. She had an unsure look on her face, until she was comforted with a pat.

" It's okay we'll help you guys find him," Scarlett said reassuringly with a smile. Once she was done, they focused back to Kido. He had given them all 10 minutes to change and get ready before going out. They had went to different rooms to change and both bathrooms were being used.

While the girls were waiting for the boys to get ready, they had heard a "manly" scream (as Aymer calls it, but they don't believe it). Once they had figured out who screamed, they repeatedly questioned Lucas. Apparently, Lucas had accidentally opened the door to the room that Aymer was changing in and saw him topless. Aymer was a blushing mess and Lucas was sincerely sorry about the incident. This is the aftermath...

" How could you do that to him??????!!!!!!!!" Scarlett was yelling at Lucas. Her anger was at a point over 9,000 and thank the gods, that there was no one else staying at Kido's Inn.

" I'm sorry, okay??!!!!" He yelled back.

" He's only 15!!!! Hasn't had a girlfriend and is the loneliest out of all the other knights of the blue army!!!" She yelled back.

" How am I supposed to know that???!!!!" Lucas yelled back, but then noticed Aymer was still a blushing mess. " Aymer, I'm sorry, please forgive me!".

Now that Lucas was bowing, Aymer couldn't feel any more guilty. His blushing face turned into a loud cry. I hate this feeling of being useless!, he thought. All I can do is cry, like the crybaby I am! That's why I'm the weakest one out of all the other knights, he continued to think.

" See you made him cry!!" Scarlett yelled at him.

" Listen I'm very sorry—" Lucas began, but was cut off by a loud thud. That 'thud' was Scarlett's hand, that she used to bang the table.

" You can't just say your sorry after that!! You-you-you dirty old-man! You child molester! You failure of a Prince!" Scarlett yelled loudly that it felt like it echoed throughout the whole village. Lucas immediately fell to the carpeted floor repeatedly bowing, he looked pale, like he just saw a ghost, and it seemed he was holding a white flag.

" Gah! With all your dang arguing we're going to be late!!!!" Kido yelled, looking at the clock. They apologized and ran out the door.

1:29-1:33 is where Kidelia sings
As everyone gathered around the bonfire, the princess began to make her way through the crowd mid-song. It was just around the middle of the Chant and Spirit Dance, as the townspeople's vocal suddenly died out and a voice could be heard through the loud beat of the drummers. Her wavy, lilac hair moving with the wind as she was walking. In her flowing brown dress. " Let my spirit rise up to the gods," she sang. Then, everybody, not the group of five except for Kido, joined back into singing.

" Hey! The princess looks just like.....KISHI?!??" They yelled Kishi just as she was waving and doing some wind magic that was controlling the movement of the fire. Cheers could be heard throughout the crowd as they were finishing up the song.

" That's our princess Kidelia!" One shopkeeper said.

" Our amazing princess, she is!" Another person added, a mother of four to be exact.

Kidelia was talking with one of the government officials as the group neared her. " Oh sorry Henry, I'll talk to you about the plans later," Kidelia said.

" Yes, of course, anytime princess," Henry said smiling as he walked away.

" Why didn't you tell us you were the princess!??" Aymer said confused. He was maintains eye contact with her for a pretty good time now.

" Well, I have my reasons, sweetheart," She replied winking, but then glared at Kido. " Didn't tell 'em, right?". Kidelia was suspicious of her older brother sometimes, but she was always teasing him.

" Of course not, and why would I? They would find out sooner or later," Kido replied pouting. He then stormed off somewhere, who knows where?

" Well you should get back to the festival," Kidelia said, her focus back to the main cast. " Many of the shops are opened and the food stalls are selling everything half off! Hmmmm, why do I feel like I'm advertising them now?".

" Well, I'm not sure, but maybe because you are," Claire said. Kidelia then pulled her arm and showed a sky macaroon in her mouth. It was sweet and fluffy, like a regular macaroon, only difference is that it has special ingredient that makes you feel like floating. Sky macaroons are the best selling product and can only be found in Eridien. Kidelia then showed the rest of the group around the stalls and shops. Buying them each one souvenir of their choice. After shopping they went back to the hotel with Kido and fell soundly asleep. During the night, a dark shadow moved throughout the town taking very little energy from the living around it....
