The Twelve Nights of Halloheen

*The 12 Night of Halloheen was originally written for Supra Velum, a charity anthology. This book is being re-release with a bonus chapters.*
Isla would do anything to make the people around her happy. Tisuran will do anything to make Isla happy, but will she open up to him and confess her biggest fears?
Hundreds of years ago humans were forced to abandon Earth. With no homeworld or cohesive government to protect them, humans had no choice but to work long hours for little in return. Each day was a struggle and tragedy struck often.
Now Isla and her community live on Sorana, protected and cared for by Talins. They’re all safer but Sorana doesn’t feel cohesive. The colony is new, and everyone is focused on completing tasks, which leaves no time for eating together or visiting. Isla longs for the tight-knit community she grew up in. That’s why she decides to hold a traditional Twelve Nights of Halloheen celebration! It’s a big task, but she’s determined that everyone will have some joy in their lives
Tisuran has lived in close contact with humans for many solars, but Isla is the first human who’s caught his attention. He can tell she isn’t content, so he decides the best way to lift her spirits is to help with the Twelve Nights of Halloheen celebration. None of the traditions make sense to him, but he hopes his efforts will make Isla happy, and perhaps even help her notice him.
After all, Isla told him Halloheen was a time for wishes to come true, and having her attention is his only wish.
