Only three cycles were left before the Dance and many households felt empty. At this stage, most of the Dancers have departed from their families. In some cases, it didn't seem as much of a change. Barellinans were known for large families. When the cycle of the Dance came, that lone absence loomed heavy on structures of families. Nature generated every nuance of what was transpiring and only allowed for others to feed into it what they felt comfortable with.This was not new behavior. Generations have long since seen Dancer leaving home as early as four cycles ahead of the Dance. Although many knew ------ in the end, it was not up to them, they still moved with the choreographed demeanor of creatures stimulated to react as they felt comfortable.Some households held gathering, where different family members from other cities would visit. Barellinans didn't like to bring depressing memories into these gatherings, seeing how they were dealing with a force beyond their control. Although all played a part in Nature's Grand Scheme, it does not by any means tie any individual's rational decision with the outcome. Still, they came together, not only as families, but as a Race. Over one million households will be touched by the Dance. If a household had one Dancer, it didn't matter if there was one offspring, or a dozen. Barellinans families were linked to the Dancers. They gathered to channel their energies to offer support.
