“It was the shortest day of the year and since Kanda was at the end of her shaman training, she was ready to perform the Sacrifice of Lights, or so they told. It was a fairly simple, but quite dangerous ritual. Kanda needed all her courage to go out into the forest to light up the shrines around the village. She had to go alone. It was the tradition. The purpose of the ritual was to feed Winter with light and fresh meat, to make him stop consuming the days and go back to his year-long slumber. Kanda knew this was an important task, but it did not make the pitch black dark forest any more welcoming...” . As kind of a winter tradition I draw Kanda holding or giving light.
