People started stepping out of their tents one after the other.
At first it was just a few curious heads poking through their tent flaps, but as the strange lights spread, everyone came out to watch.
The cheetah beasts moved across the hills with their bodies glowing faintly as they released bursts of light.
Eliora stepped out beside Zarek with her cloak wrapped tight around her shoulders, and her hat now in place.
"It's beautiful," she whispered.
Zarek nodded, then rested his hand on her waist as usual, anchoring her against him in the crowd.
A few moments later, Maelina stepped out of her own tent, stretching like she'd just woken from a long nap.
She walked toward them, stopping at Eliora's other side.
"Well?" she asked. "Are you enjoying the show?"
Eliora nodded immediately. "I've never seen anything like this before."
Maelina smirked, then leaned toward Zarek, and whispered, "You know we could just help them."
