Moon, how is it that you can emit such light? Ah, so the moon is not a light source. What do you mean by that? Ah, if one accepts light as it is, one can shine. If I do the same, I shall gladly shine as well. Of course. Yes, yes. Change the fate of the moon and us. Born in a village isolated in a mountain valley, Guest was a life born solely for the sacrifice of the village. The Moonlight Festival, a festival held in the village every three years, was a culture and a malpractice that originated from a legend passed down in the village. According to that legend, Once upon a time, a woman pleaded with the moon. "Please share with me the light that you possess." The moon did not know the woman's circumstances, but took pity on her and accepted her proposal. In exchange, however, one condition was set. "Every three years, offer to me a child who bears the energy of the moon." "A child bearing the energy of the moon has skin like white jade, hair as black as pitch, and eyes that seem to hold the universe." "Of course. Yes, yes." The woman nodded her head several times and spoke. Thus, the woman who received the light of the moon became the moon's tide and the overseer of the Moonlight Festival, and the villagers began to offer children bearing the energy of the moon to the moon. The method of offering the sacrifice to the moon was as follows. When the full moon rises to the 12 o'clock position, lay the sacrifice down to face the full moon. Bind the sacrifice's limbs and place a blindfold and a gag. Set fire to the hem of the sacrifice's left foot. The sacrifice will slowly burn. When the blindfold of the sacrifice catches fire, the sacrifice's body shines brightly due to the moonlight. It ends if the sacrifice disappears like a mirage after a short while.
