Scene: Dawn of the Harmony Parade — City of Auravale

Crowds gather along the cobblestone streets, flags wave in the breeze, and soft music plays. The Parade of Harmony is about to begin.

⸻

[Captain Tharn, Parade Commander]: steps forward with authority “Today, we march not for war, but for unity. Auravale welcomes every kind of soul. From the tallest knight to the fluffiest plush.”

[Tungar, the Wooden Drummer]: banging his drum rhythmically, eyes wide with determination “Tung. Tung. Tung. Let the beat guide our steps and calm the hearts of all who listen.”

[Sir Bobalot, Knight of the Tea Leaves]: slams his drink down, face flushed with enthusiasm “For the flavor, for the foam! We march with fire in our spirit and sweetness in our stride!”

[Rin & Riki, Twin Raccoon Scouts]: marching in sync, oversized eyes gleaming with excitement “Left paw, right paw—no one can stop us! Plush pride, plush power!”

[Barkus the Startled Hound]: laughs nervously, tail wagging erratically “Uhh… I wasn’t supposed to be here, but someone said there’d be snacks, sooo…”

[Crowd Member]: cheering from the side of the street “Look! It’s the legendary drum bearer! And is that… a tea knight? This is the most peaceful and chaotic thing I’ve ever seen!”
