Night fell, the moonlight like a silver stream.
Deep in the Bone Forest, a bonfire danced and leaped. The firelight cast mottled shadows among the trees, bathing the surroundings in an orange-red glow.
The air was filled with the charred scent of burning wood, mixed with the aroma of grass and earth, and mingled with the smell of roasting meat and wine, creating a primal, rustic fragrance.
The bonfire crackled and popped, embers occasionally leaping from the flames like falling stars in the night sky.
The Guards of the Green Shade Territory's Southern Army were gathered around the bonfire, eating meat, drinking wine, dancing, and celebrating their great victory in the battle against the Corpse Monsters.
The sound of human song echoed through the Bone Forest, traveling a great distance.
It could even be heard in the villages outside the High Wall of Green Shade Territory.
