“Welcome to Astral Center! Today is the 1st day of April and every April 1, Astrali or the people lived here at Mount Astral celebrate their harvest it starts at 10 a.m until 12 midnight. And us tourist or visitors, are lucky because they only allowed outsiders to come at Mount Astra every April 1.” the guide announced.

I’m only here to do a documentation about the harvest festival.

“M-mister?”
I looked at the little kid pulling my coat and asked her “What is it little cutie?”

She hand me a blue origami star.

“Can you put this at that container later when the festival starts?”
There’s a big glass container at the center of Astral Center and it is surrounded by tulips.

“Sure.” I said and pick the star.
My classmate who once been here said that every people put the origami star at the big glass container and when midnight strikes… everyone who put a star turns into a deadly beast.”

“Papa! You’re scaring Johann.”

“Come here Johann, I’m just kidding… let me continue.”

“Everyone who put a star can make a wish, some wishes are about harvest, some are about their family and some are about love.”

“Papa so what did you wish?” my daughter Jenra interfered.

I looked at the clock, “It’s already 8 p.m. time to sleep.”

“But Papa! we want more.” Jenra shouted.

“Go to sleep. I will continue the story tomorrow.” I said and fixed their blanket.

Already 12 midnight but I’m still finishing the document that is needed by the government, I look at the window and there I saw it, mesmerizing on my eyes, what a beautiful moon… same as the moon before.

“You are Mr. Willington?” asked by the editor of the daily newspaper.

“Yes.” I said and looked over the place, this is the House of News, an old two storey house with wooden wall in the inside but cemented on the outside. On my position I can clearly see the old brown staircase with a red carpet on it. I am currently on the first floor of the house and there’s a waiting area with 2 couch and 3 wooden chairs. I got back from the reality when the editor snapped his finger right in front of me.

“Are you listening Mr. Willington?”

“H-huh?” I asked

“I said, took pictures that is only necessary, jot down information and obey their rules. I already give you a layout of the Astral Circle, other unnecessary action may take consequence.”

I just nodded and go outside, there’s a jeep waiting outside and the passengers are the peoples that will go to the Mount Astra for the Harvest Festival.

When we enter the mountain, I saw a silhouette of a lady on the woods, but it’s only for  second because the jeep suddenly went fast…
