A Solstice Celebration!

All characters experience the following:
The sun shines brightly on Sagentown this Solstice. There is not a cloud in the sky. The streets and countryside are full of people of all walks of life and races celebrating the glory of the sun, and the life that it nourishes. Laughter and song fill the air.
Even the longest day passes into night. When it does, the celebrations only slow a little. Large groups congregate around bonfires and in the town squares, singing and dancing. Fireworks and magical pyrotechnics explode in the night sky, extending the brightness of the longest day if only for a little while. Even the light of the full moon seems brighter than normal.
You look to the north, and see a red-orange glow. It crosses the whole of the horizon. It grows brighter and brighter until it is revealed to be a wall of Bloodfire hundreds of feet high. The Bloodfire is traveling fast, burning everything in its path to ash.
If the people of Sagentown even see the Bloodfire, they give no indication. They continue to celebrate, even as the wall of flames barrels down from the north.
As the Bloodfire gets closer to the town, you see a figure standing on the roof of the gatehouse of Everard Tower. The figure is decked out in bright, shining full plate armor complete with a great shield and helm. The warrior begins to grow in height. As he does, he draws his sword.
As the sword clears its scabbard, the light from it illuminates the land as bright as the midday sun. You hear the voices of Sagentown singing songs of praise to the light.
Still, the wall of Bloodfire towers above the now giant Warrior of Light. The Warrior stands defiantly in the face of it. Though his armor is bright, the light of the Bloodfire is not reflected in it. When the Bloodfire is about to consume Everard Tower, the Warrior of Light swings his blade into it.
With that, the Bloodfire is extinguished. The Warrior of Light stands over the town, shield and sword still in hand.
Songs of praise fill your ears as you wake from your sleep.
