Yoshito was the first to begin reciting. His first poem had been written by Mizuki. Several of the listening dragons were moved to tears by it. Yoshito only thought that it was to be expected that their alpha's poem was the most beautiful, even if he himself was not present. Next was one if his own poems. It was not as beautiful as the one that Mizuki had written but still very nice. After that a few more Water dragons did their recitations. Before they had come to the festival they had chosen the most beautiful ones at the residence of the Water Tribe, so all of them were great.<br/><br/>Satoshi stuck around for the whole session, even though he didn't really want to. Sure the first few were pretty good, but he didn't really enjoy poetry that much. Soji had already left much earlier. Poetry was not his thing at all and he was hungry. He wanted to grab a bite before they had to perform.<br/><br/>After the poem recitals had ended there was a break for about an hour before the Air Tribe had to get ready for their big performance. Even though around the festival grounds there were already several little musical performances, those were just because they love playing.
