The episode begins with Theodora, who has been operating under the pseudonym "Esta," taking precautions regarding the new hero Van. She is concerned about his potential arrival in Zoltan and sends Albert to inform Red about the situation, particularly to keep Van away from Ruti.

In Zoltan, the Festival of the Dragon Rider and the Solstice Festival of Saint Licinius are being celebrated. The festival, which commemorates the repelling of the Winter Demon, is a major event in the village, marked by various activities such as eating, drinking, and dancing. Red and Rit, dressed festively, join the celebration, which interrupts their usual routine.

The festivities are briefly interrupted by a quarrel between two elves in line, but the situation is quickly resolved by an adult Ademi, highlighting his maturity and conflict resolution skills. Yarandrala, another elf, enjoys the joys of the festival and eats with Red, Rit, Ruti, and Tisse, emphasizing the communal and joyful spirit of the event.

A highlight of the festival is the reenactment of the battle against the Winter Demon, featuring a guest appearance by Danan in that role. During the subsequent bonfire dance, a touching moment occurs between Red and Ruti as they dance together, reflecting on their past and Ruti's path to happiness.

As the evening progresses, Red surprises Rit with an engagement necklace as a symbol of his commitment and their shared future, even though he couldn’t procure a blue sapphire for a ring. Rit is thrilled by this romantic gesture and looks forward to spending the next holidays with Red.

Meanwhile, the evening takes an unpleasant turn for Tisse when she overhears suspicious individuals discussing the airship of the Demon Lord. Her attempt to confront them leads to a tense encounter, during which she barely escapes danger. This incident conveys a sense of unease and potential threat, standing in contrast to the otherwise peaceful and celebratory atmosphere in Zoltan.
