The Bloom of Midnight

Under the soft glow of paper lanterns, Aiko walked through the festival streets, the scent of cherry blossoms mingling with the crisp autumn air. The kimono she wore was a treasured heirloom, passed down from her grandmother—a woman whispered to have once enchanted an entire village with her beauty and wisdom. Tonight was the festival of lanterns, a night where wishes written on delicate paper were set adrift on the river, carrying hopes and dreams to the spirits beyond. But Aiko carried a different kind of wish. For years, she had been searching for a name—a shadow from her past, a figure lost in time. Her mother had never spoken of her father, only telling her that he was a traveler who had left before she was born. Yet, an old letter hidden in a wooden box suggested otherwise. "Find the man who wears the dragon crest, and you will know your truth," it read.
