Further announcements were made. Today was the Eve Trials, where we'd be given the time to settle in, prepare ourselves mentally and physically because tomorrow, we wouldn't have that grace anymore.
Nighttime came fast and we were all outside. The fire cracked in the center of the campsite, casting flickering shadows that danced along the gathered crowd. Laughter echoed, as people drank--I wonder how they were able to sneak these much drinks in. The scent of charred wood mingled with the faint musk of sweat as people danced, and did all sort of things.
I sat on a log with Mira on one side and Talia on the other, watching around us. Mira handed me a drink a friend had given her, but the last thing I needed right now was getting drunk. When I had trials tomorrow.
