Winter was almost upon them. His village had settled down to wait for the snows to pass before moving again. This meant they would stay in the place for far longer than usual. This time of year also brought about a rather odd festival. It was a time where Clan Saxon and Clan Wren put aside the rivalry for several days of feasting. Of course, there was also a lot of fighting, both sanctioned and unsanctioned but it was usually done in good nature.
In his childhood, he had never understood the purpose of such a feast but now saw its significance in Mandalorian Culture. The two clans may be rivals, but they were both still Mandalorian, and Family is more than blood sometimes. The normally small village had grown to accommodate the influx of the Saxon and Wren families.
The Feast would officially start at noon, beginning with fights in the pits that had been dug the night before. The two clans would send the toughest against one another. It was often a highlight of the feast.
Ralin stepped out into the cold late fall air. The first snow of the season would come any day. People were already beginning to gather at the pit so he began to make his way as well. As one of the warriors of his clan, he would be called upon to fight today, a challenge he greatly looked forward to.
As he made his way through the village, the smell of the food was intoxicating and only added to his excitement.
