"Draw (or describe) a form of music or dance in your world"
In the mythranki Jungles, Far to the east of the lands of steel beams, there are tribes that have mastered the arts of tribal, ritual magic. It started with simple rain dances, then going in reverse for dry dances, and now their entire culture relies on each village doing a specific set of dances in a specific order each year, else their entire world will come to a grinding halt.. or so they believe.
One such dance, done by the teenagers at the pinacle of winter, ensures the blade of shadow will not harm them as it passes by the southern part of the country.
Teenagers being teenagers, some decided that it was not so vitally important, so they didn't learn the steps right that year.. the spell was not cast and the blade of shadow fell across the land.. to no effect.
As nothing untoward happened, the following year those teenagers, who went on to teach the next years students, made it clear that it was merely a ritual, and not to pay too much attention.
Years went past, and the ritual that softened the shadow of winter, was more of a dance.
Yet the reason the ritual existed in the first place, took notice that the wards against darkness were slowly weakening, year after year it watches..
p.s. With my house-move-issues, I thought I scheduled these to post on their respective days, but obviously failed to do so, hence the block of posts all in a row
