บท 27: A Welcome Ceremony

"No, Anne, the banners should be hung from this tree to the next."

"Has the fifth batch of bread finished baking?"

"Oh, I sure hope—look!"

At the far cry, people quickly raised their heads from what they were initially doing. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw the enormous lines after lines of men approaching their village gates. 

"It's Alpha Killorn! He has returned from the ceremony with our Luna!"

Loud cheering filled the crowd. People dropped whatever they were doing and rushed forward. They were eager to greet their leader who hadn't returned for weeks. Supposedly, he was going to return sooner, but was caught up by something. 

Now that the Alpha and his men were back, they were a sight to behold.

A proud and powerful man sat high on his horse. His black cape fluttered wildly behind him, an ominous shadow crossing over his face. The sun dangled high above the glorious army whose presence in the war caused a landslide victory.
