The festival went on for another 3 days just as the emperor had ordered. It was extended for a special guest with privileges. There was never ending of merry-making with laughter filled the air along with music which never seemed to fade.
The most magical session was after dark. The nights were filled with lights all over that could even see far off. It was as though the entire island was glowing from the end to the beginning. However, that wasn't all that made the night magical. There were lanterns that were hung up in the sky as though a hook or a magical string appeared out from the endless sky and hung the lanterns. Some were low while some were high.
And, the sea would glow as soon as the sun was no more seen. It was as though the water was embodied with a crystal that would glow at dawn and glitter during the day.
