Ladies of Markia (Mass Release Day 2)

Helena's eyes snap open at the blaring sound of the horn, jolting her awake. She notices that the other girls her age are already bustling about, scurrying to get ready under the watchful gaze of Karki, a tall, imposing figure with a sharp, angular face. Helena feels a shiver of fear at the sight of her, but she knows she has no choice but to fall in line with the others and follow their lead.

Not only them that have been roused by the loud horn. It also shook the whole town into excitement. For it's a call to start a revelry that the whole tribe is anticipating. A couple of dozen warriors have marched for miles from their tribes just to come here.

"Here they come again," Jiana grumbles as she keeps punching the wooden dummy while the other ladies are busy preparing themselves to become presentable.

"Jiana," Karki calls her from the hut. "have yourself dressed immediately."
