Festival Week End / Hououmon's Destiny
Who: Open to All
What: Festival Closing Ceremony
When: March 22nd, Late Evening
Where: Phoenix Colosseum
Face your destiny. Do not turn away.
Those words still rang out clearly in Hououmon's mind. Considerably so, as he stood at a position of prominence in Phoenix Colosseum... all alone. The other Area Guardians were not in attendance, as they had unfortunately been called back to their territories.
The Dark Area and Virus Busters were both antsy. It seemed as though destiny was knocking at his very door.
With a heavy sigh, he spread his wings, and addressed the assembled crowd. “People of the Digital World... digimon, humans... creatures of all manner of species. I welcome you once again to these ceremonies...
“But tonight is not like the night at the beginning of this week. No... tonight is the closing of this year's festival. In a way, it seems as though we are closing the chapter of an entire year. A year that has brought... significant change, more so than any other. For a time, I have seen time march on, the ages passing, with our world's problems and its virtues remaining unmoving. Perhaps it has waited for this time... or destiny has chosen to drive us to act. It is no secret to anyone here... our enemies are preparing great trials for us, and we must be vigilant.
“... But at the same time. Destiny is not merely a situation that is thrust upon us. Even in the advent of prophecy, we have a choice to accept it. I trust that these words ring true for many of the Tamers and digimon here today. You have been called... many of you, against your will, to this realm. And some of you might choose to accept this fate. Some of you might choose to embrace a darker path. But know this... in the end, what you choose is the path you are meant to be on. It is not what some powerful force decided for you long ago... it is not what some demon demands of you...”
He lowered his head.
“It is what you demand of yourselves. Never forget that... and always keep your eye on what is right. Remember what I said about unity... because even when one stays true to themselves... no one can really do it on their own.”
He lowered his wings, and his head. “... I now turn these closing proceedings over to the Holy Beasts...”
((OOC - Okay folks? Basically, Tetha is a VERY DANGEROUS place to be right now. There's angry digimon around in the streets. Some are scared, some are angry, and a lot of blame is being passed around to the Tamers. You can have your characters react to the events, be chased or harassed by the angry mob, but there will be threads to resolve most of the very dangerous situation that's going on as things progress.))
