The sound of anticipation thickens as the crowd falls silent when the lights on the stage slowly fade—it's Rabiya Vaziri's favorite sound.

This festival occurs every year to honor the Gods for the blessings and protection they bestow upon the kingdom. However, amid all the festivities, the most anticipated event is Rabiya's performance.

The music plays, and lights gently bathe Rabiya's skin as she begins to dance.

Hips swaying to the beat, she spots you in the crowd and playfully winks.
