The week after the Hunter Raven attack happened,it was already the week of the Blade Moon. People are getting ready for the Blade Moon ball,everyone is included,even travelers.

Ivu decided to bring the plague doctor with her to get them ready for the ball. "Let's go Chloe!"Ivu called from downstairs,"I'm coming!"Chloe,the plague doctor,yelled back.

[ congratulations to someone who guessed that ▇▇▇ is Chloe,or otherwise,a version of myself ]

The two girls went out on a 'girls' day out',leaving Jay and Hosuh all alone at the tavern that was closed. "The Blade Moon Festival is ongoing,and soon will be the Lunar Ball here at Ravendale,"Hosuh told Jay,"what should we do?"he asked curiously,not knowing what to do with the allotted free time.

His companion,Jay thought about it. They could stay here for the festival,they could also ditch Chloe to escape from the Hunter Raven's grasp,or even leave the kingdom altogether. Probably not safe and not a wise choice.

"I suppose we could stay here at Ravendale,but keep on eye out for the Hunter Raven,I guess."Jay answered,making Hosuh cheer in glee. "I'm so glad I planned ahead for this situation!"he grinned,making the blond question him in his mind.

As it turns out,Hosuh had packed for this kind of occasion for disguise and emergency purposes,as he claimed. Jay sighed,relieved that he and Hosuh didn't have to go out in broad daylight in cloaks. The tavern was even closed for today.

"We should check out the festival! Since we have so much time in our hands."Hosuh suggested,making Jay sigh. But who is he to say no to the prince himself? He agreed to his friend's suggestion and went out of the building to be greeted by the Ravions,in disguise.

They did so much during that time,trying out foods,receiving flowers and watching the street performers. Hosuh and Jay were enjoying their time together before someone bumped into the two of them.

"Oh! I'm very sorry about my brother,sir!"the blue haired prince,Gavin apologized to Jay,who looked at the grape purple haired person in front of him. He had matching purple eyes which held pride,"Well hello there,"he greeted the two,"I'm the great Stephen Ng!"he introduced himself.

"Well it's nice to meet you! I'm Hosuh,and this is Jay."Hosuh introduced himself and Jay,as in,citizen Hosuh and Jay,named after famous Hosuh and Jay. Gavin reminded them about that incident where Gavin bumped into the silver haired 'traveler'. "Where did your friend go?"he asked,"ah,she went shopping with Ivu."Hosuh answered.

"Ivu? As in the great bartender Ivu?"Gavin questioned before Stephen cuts in,"But there's no one else greater than the magnificent Stephen!"he praised himself,making Hosuh laugh lightly while Gavin chuckled slightly.

They have chatted for a while,not noticing the jealous glares of other people,especially women. Jay took note of that and made it look like he doesn't even notice a thing.

"So who was the woman that was chasing you Gavin? How is she?" Jay asked,making Gavin sweat. "Oh Yanna? She's fine!"Stephen answered for Gavin,who agreed. Gavin felt the cold stare of the said woman,sending shivers down his spine. "It's been a long time since I last saw her in public,why was she running after you,Gavin?"the blond asked,the blue haired lightly scratched his cheek nervously,"I may or may not have burned down her kitchen?"

Stephen laughed heartily at this,"of course you would! That's why I'm the greater cook!"Gavin had an irk mark on his head when he heard that. "Your attempts at making cookies ended up us getting kicked out of the kitchen!"the younger brother pointed out,making Stephen fight back.

Both Jay and Hosuh sweat dropped at the banter of the two brothers,who were now getting physical and trying to harm each other if it weren't for the guards that were on patrol. "Should we go back?"Hosuh asked Jay,who nodded at that question and went back at the tavern,exiting the fight.

Hosuh decided to rest up for the Lunar Ball,it would be the first time he would ever go there. Probably also the last.

hi everyone! this chapter is more of a filler chapter due to timeline,and also a reason to meet Stephen!
