The Banishing Festival
Description
In the city of New Lyndfell, the only things Sunyoung and Daehyun have in common are the fact that they're different and they're from the same city. Being Sensitives, sometimes they can feel or see things others can't. No one knows why some people are different. Except, that's not entirely true. The Elders have a secret, the land is under a geas, and the Banishing Festival has a purpose far greater than most realize. Unfortunately, Daehyun and Sunyoung share the ignorance of the general populous and have no idea of what their destiny actually holds.
Foreword
The city of New Lyndfell was formed after the partial destruction of Lyndfell. It is a prosperous city with the highest concentration of Sensitives in residence. They celebrate the Banishing Festival every year to commemorate their successful flight from the ruined city where nearly half of it vanished in an instant, along with a large number of the population. However, every five years, the Festival takes on a special importance.
In the year 534 NF (New Founding), Lyndfell was partially destroyed and New Lyndfell was founded.
In the year 535 NF, the Banishing Festival began to give thanks for their survival and continued prosperity.
In the year 539 NF, terrible natural disasters shook the lands, threatening to eradicate the new town and tear the surrounding area apart. Unexpectedly, Sensitives were the answer.
It is the year 764 NF and a new Banishing Festival is coming up.
This is for the Fantastic Fantasy Writing Contest (July Mini-Contest).
As a side note, it's meant to be an opener to a much larger world. The mini-contest only allows for 3 chapters or less, but maybe I'll be able to continue this into the larger contest. Idea? haha
Either way, thank you for looking this far and I hope you enjoy it!
*PS - I'm a bit rusty so I apologize if it takes me a bit to brush off the cobwebs.
