Oassu chuckled watching as Cid tilted his head curiously "Well I bet a good few members of the crowd will have no idea what that one is doing up there, still impressive they can organise one like that so quickly, you'll be a famous little bunny in no time" he said petting the bunny.
Jeckhart frowned looking at the bunny firework "An unusual choice" he said not quite getting it, "Though I don't see anything wrong with your ear, but perhaps it's a Viera thing, it just looks a little cute though so don't feel bad about it I'm sure your friends never tease you about it." he said frowning "The Dark association is largely about embracing their demonic heritage so they hold tighter to those superstitions than some I hear but they are right, Ravens are largely thought to predict death" he said shuffling uncomfortably at the thought "Though I don't do that so don't worry" he joked.
Zadina smiled poking Amane once more to remove the spell "Uhuh well that's real nice of them then but yeah they seemed pretty stern at times, insisted I went to sleep at certain times but Mr Jeckhart or Miss Anakuda would always come in and tell me a story or something to help me sleep" he said brightly "Is that better? I removed the spell"

Hebal nodded gasping as the speed and size of the fireworks increased rapidly so to build up to the climax of the event "Oh don't worry about that, I know that you aren't into all that stuff. Usually the demons that tend to that have some weird obsession with skulls and the like, also usually quite boney looking themselves. Though I think the firework before was supposed to be Cid. I think he was wearing a bow tie earlier. Looked like the snazziest person at the ball."
Amane gave a sigh of relief now able to be free "Yes that is much better. I can finally catch my breath. I think that's just want older people, especially parents are anyway. Didn't you have strict rules and bedtime when you were a kid? Though were the stories at least interesting ones? Or were they really boring ones?"

Elorin smiled noting the sudden delay in applause at the Cid themed firework before the onslaught of the rest of the fireworks "You can blame Corella for that one for I made no request for that one to be added and she is the only one to have slipped away a little before the show" he told them earning a small giggle from Corella.
Felina laughed "Well I'm impressed you managed to get them to throw something together at the last minute. Well done to Nares and all the other people involved in arranging the show. Though shouldn't you be getting ready to summon dad?"
"Oh I am ready whenever but you can't go too soon at events like these otherwise the grand firework finale will be overlooked in favour of Bahamut and I want people to be able to appreciate both of them" he shrugged back tightening the grip on his staff.

Oassu nodded applauding along with everyone else as the show came to it's climax before giving Felina's hand a little squeeze "I'll admit this is pretty exciting stuff, I've never even seen a summoning, nevermind one of Bahumut himself" he whispered to her excitedly.
Jeckhart scratched his chin "I suppose it would be Cid though I'm not sure how they would get a bowtie on a rabbit and it's impressive they put it together at such short notice, you should be able to communicate with him right? Viera can sense animal feelings after all" he asked glancing up at the royal balcony.
Zadina nodded "Yeah I did of course but the stories were nice enough, the adamantoise and the cactuar and all the old classics" he said pointing out the fireworks once more. "Look Amane, the show is almost finished and that means it's time for Bahumut" he said excitedly.

Hebal slowly nodded joining in with the louder applause "Oh yeah I can do that though its really nothing special. You don't need to be a master of understanding small animals to be able to tell if its happy or sad or nervous etc. Cid didn't like his bowtie much though hehe. Best not tell Felina that made him a bit grumpy. Though he did at least like the food and we can't blame him there"
Amane rubbed her ear "Umm I don't think the adamantoise and the cactuar is that common. Barely any of the other kids in the village seemed to know the story when I mentioned it. I guess we have our own stories and folklore to deal with. But yeah I'm a little excited and nervous for Bahamut. He's meant to be huge enough to have at least 10 people on his back and a big powerful roar to go with the size. I wonder just how close we will get" she grinned shaking with excitement.

Felina smiled watching her father moved further away from the family while her mother and sister whispered away "Well I don't know what you are expecting but I guess summoners who use a staff... well it sort of looks like they are just dancing while doing it then a few moments later you realise it was a summoning when a giant monster appears out of nowhere to attack you. So I think you will be a little bit cynical to start" she whispered back.

Oassu shook his head "I'm sure it'll be fine, I've heard they have to sort of dance to summon things anyway, though it'll be strange to see your dad do it, he probably doesn't do much summoning anymore mind, pilgrimages must be quite the adventure" he whispered crossing his arms to watch Elorin with interest.
Jeckhart nodded "I won't, besides it does make him look a little cuter I'll admit though I can't imagine he much enjoyed Alpha's company neither still I think it's a pretty impressive ability the Viera have anyway" he said falling quiet with the rest of the crowd as they waited.
Zadina nodded "He's pretty spectacular and has quite the loud roar" he admitted looking about and thinking "He'll be very close to us considering how high up we are probably just out there" he said pointing directly ahead of them above the royal Balcony "Though take a good look because one day you'll be able to summon him just as well" he said patting Amane on the ear seeing her shaking.

Hebal nodded "Well I can kinda relate to that with Cid. Alpha is kinda weird and creepy at times with what he comes out with and can make me feel uncomfortable. Though his kid is good fun and I bet Cid just does't like how warm fire demons are when you have contact with them" she replied just in time for if answered a moment later she would have been the only loud voice in the crowd. "Wow I never expected such anticipation like this" she whispered taking her ear plugs out.
Amane paused "It's gotten very quiet suddenly hasn't it and ... hey check out all the people sitting in trees and climbing onto roofs to try and get a peek too. They all look so small hehe" she suddenly noticed pointing to the city buildings that could be seen over the palace wall. "But I am quite happy and convinced we have the best view provided he doesn't try to eat us"

Felina laughed and nodded "Maybe...and maybe not. You know that when Agralia attacked us he was right on the front lines. I know my dad can come across as quite gentle but he can handle himself in a fight. Did in a lot of the battles during the demon wars also. But if your really interested hes already started while we were talking" she added indicating to the staff currently being spun around above her father's head.

Oassu nodded remaining quiet and raising a small finger to his lips to hush Felina sensing it was a time for quiet.
Jeckhart nodded "It's certainly fallen quite silent it must be time" he whispered falling silent quickly spotting a few of the nearby guests glancing at him.
Zadina leaned forward ever so carefully to peek at the people sitting on the roofs and trees "Well we are about as high as we can be here short of flying though I can't imagine Bahumut would eat us, he might sense you are a would-be summoner and bow to you" he teased.

"I don't quite know what is happening. At the moment I sort of feel like we might e missing something like a ritual" Hebal managed to whisper before glared back at some of the guests not liking the looks they were getting.
Amane shook her head "He probably wouldn't even acknowledge me. I'm not even a summoner yet to prove myself worthy of him yet. Though I would guess your uncle wouldn't permit him to eat any of us anyway thinking about it. Still I wonder whats taking so long" she sighed.

Felina smiled giving Oassu a slight nudge forward while they continued to watch her father wave his staff around in sequence with the occasional spinning around until the entire circular area around surrounding him had began to glow. "It is done" Elorin mumbled briefly before holding his staff into the air channelling the energy upwards into the sky. "The stronger the summoner, the less time and effort it takes. Anyway, before Bahamut appears and I have to tell him what to do. Would you like to pet him?" he offered to Oassu placing his staff down into a resting position while he watched the giant silhouette in the sky from above the clouds suddenly burst through them in a ball of energy with a loud crack.
"Well there you have it. That is Bahamut and you should totally go and pet him in a moment hehe, Must be at least twice as big as an airship" Felina whispered. The dragon meanwhile roared causing the ground to shake violently below before swooping down past the guests, through the city and around the trees creating enough force to almost blow everyone off their feet while he waited for something specific to be done.

Oassu's jaw dropped in awe but he meekly nodded his head in agreement "Isn't being petted a little demeaning for the king of all Dragons?" he asked Felina watching as Bahumut swirled down towards the balcony at some speed.
Jeckhart nodded watching as the silhouette appeared through the smoke cause by fireworks growing larger "Well yes I think summoners need to do some kind of ritual to bring them out I hear, dances and the like, Amane will be doing them one day" he added.
Zadina giggled knowing they would see Bahumut better than anyone else up here "Well look there he is," he said pointing to the huge shape hovering before them "And I'm not sure why it'd take so long, but it's Bahumut king of Dragons so I'd presume there's a fair bit of difficulty to summoning him" he said watching for Amane's reaction.

Amane shuddered hugging her arms almost frozen by the breeze generated by Bahamut as he flew straight past them "Woah he really is huge and must be really powerful to be able to shake the ground like this" she gasped too mesmerised to either give her ears more cover or to take a tighter hold of the railing while the ground shook.
Hebal groaned placing her ear plugs back in the moment the dragon roared towards the crowd "Well he can certainly make a lot of noise and Amane will have to get used to that when she can summon him. You would think I would know more about it but the people at the temple are really secretive about how things run" she finally spoke now the crowd were cheering and talking again.

Felina laughed closing Oassu's jaw for him "well he's not going to wag his tail and lick you for doing so. Go on, I'll go with you and even do it first if your afraid. He doesn't bite. See, even my baby sister is ok with it" she assured him noting the rest of the family had already joined Elorin.
"No. He won't bite you unless I ask for you to be bitten. Thus far I have no reason to request that" Elorin chuckled extending his arm out to pat the giant nose of the dragon now watching them from the edge of the balcony. "Just donn't try and poke him in the eye if he turns his head" he added when Felina joined in with him.
