The head musicians were dancing and singing as they led the parade of people behind them, the chiefs were right behind them hand in hand with butterflies coming out of their attires as they waved to the crowd. All the people from the royal capital where standing and clapping on the sides of the main road that led to the palace.

 

Behind the chiefs there was Chu with a huge basket of seeds, together with other 5 people they were throwing the seeds into the cropping fields inside the town. As Chu was singing reciting the ritual chants she could see many kids looking with awe of everything, so she created small rainbows in front of them. The kids started laughing as they tried to grab them, and Chu continued her way into the town walking towards the palace following the parade of people dancing and singing. Somé came after with the big entrance she wanted she was creating small birds of water that flew all over the town, and this birds cracked into the ground where the seeds were, nurturing them with the gift of life.

Finally Ronin and Curu entered, with many others, they kneeled on the same ground placing their hands palms on it and whispering something, as their runes glowed brighter small sprouts started growing, people started cheering and laughing seeing how the earth was alive again; the parade of people continued, men and women dressed as mythical creatures came behind dancing and imitating the animals, lifting dirt as they walked with their bare feet, Mictlan came in the back, leading a small group of people that were just walking to the palace quietly waiting for their moment. 

As Mictlan was getting closer to the palace she started noticing not only people from the Liaoning region but also people from other regions, they were fewer, must be the companions that came with the other head families, they soon were in front of the palace, but that wasn’t the true destination, it was actually behind it, in the back there was a large piece of land that was only dirt, and at the back porch of the palace there were all the head families from Bellicost, Wyrd, Liaoning and Euroka. Quetzalcoatl and Jacob bowed to their fellow men and women, as they bowed back. 

The Tlali tribe made a circle around the land they placed one knee and their two palms on the ground, they started chanting softly again, it was like a whisper. Mictlan and the small group she was leading were watching from the back standing up, she was really nervous she couldn’t stop clenching her fists. Chu got up and walked to the middle of the circle and took out the last seed she had and buried it, then she went back to her position. The musicians started upping the music and rhythm the tribe started growling and making other animal sounds, one of the women of Mictlan’s group looked at her and nodded, giving her the signal that they had to start. The group closed their eyes, grabbed a deep breath and as they let it out they opened their eyes and started running to the center of the circle, flames were coming out from their bodies.

Everyone else other than the Tlati people gasped in surprise, Mictlans’ group started their ritual dance growing and dimming the flames that covered their bodies the flames started to accumulate. And a story could be seen on the sky, it looked like a battle, filled with blood and anger, the group squeezed at the very center of the circle covering Mictlan in the middle as their flames extinguished and as the music changed its pace to a softer one the group opened up like the petals of a flower as Mictlan stood up, and she let out a blinding light out as people covered their eyes they noticed some light particles falling down from the sky, everyone could feel the warmth this light brought, the group made another little circle inside the one the tribe had already made and with their knees and palms on the ground they started their chanting, Mictlan got to the place where Chu planted the seed, even at this point she was still scared and uncertain that she could make the three bloom.

She placed her knees and palms on the ground, but she didn't immediately start chanting, instead she whispered to the seed “Please, help me” the ground started rumbling. She squeezed her eyes shut with her forehead pressed to the ground as the light started leaving the runes of her body and started flowing from her palms into the ground. Roots were drawn by this light and out from the seed sprouts started growing, it kept increasing, and it soon became a young tree, it grew larger and larger as the light from Mictlan’s body and the light from the three almost became one, until it became a big cherry blossom, with its branches expanding and finally blossoming the first flowers of the festival, everyone started smiling and hugging as the flowers flew through the wind painting the whole town in a pink color.
