"Then tomorrow it is," Vincent breathed happily to her, smiling at the beautiful blush on her cheeks. "I'll let Raizel know first thing tomorrow morning. But for now, we should get some rest. Do you want to stay with me tonight, Elia?"

ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER
Could've taken about two or three days to get here after the cult thing. But no, it had to take three and a half weeks!
Irving sighed as he trekked up the dirt path unmarked by most are maps nor noted by any guideposts. Although the path can be visible to those with perceptive eyes, the eyes would play tricks on them if they tried to follow it by seeing forks and alternate paths that weren't truly there and would find themselves lost in the surrounding forest. The only way one would find a village in this secluded area of the hills would be if they knew about it, or were wandering the area completely and hopelessly lost.
Irving followed his map until the the trees parted and the dirt in the path was replaced with stones. Smiling and sighing in relief as the 2-week trip that took 3-months for monumentally stupid reasons was finally finished as Lucin laid before him.
Thank f***!
Irving looked over the village as he neared the small guard post on the road leading into the village. It had changed a lot since he last visited: the buildings were fixed and cleaned and sometimes replaced with another larger, more pleasant-looking building altogether, flowers that weren't fully grown when he left were in bloom, even the aforementioned guard post was a new addition. Irving wasn't arrogant enough to think that the improvements were all due to his own donations -- there were other residents who left to find work, after all -- but he still felt a great sense of satisfaction upon seeing the village, knowing that he help contribute to it, no matter how small.
Irving help his ryfel above his head as he neared the guard post. He smiled as the large man posted there recognized him and went down to greet him.
"Irvin' mah boy!" exclaimed the guard, Evan. "Is that really you?"
Before Irving could reply, Evan tried to place his arm around his shoulder as a greeting, to which Irving swatted away in response.
"It is you!" laughed Evan. "How's it goin'? Ain't seen your face 'round here in forever!"
"Just fine," replied Irving. "Looks like you guys are doing good too."
"Damn right!" said Evan. "Ya won't believe what happened since ya left! How 'bout you join me in dat boring thing", he gestured to the guard post, "and play catch up!"
"I'd like to," said Irving, "but I want to see Elijah first. He's around, right?"
"Of course!" said Evan. "Go right ahead. He's in the usual place."
Irving nodded. "Thanks."
Irving entered his adoptive home.

Location; Anna stadium...... DoodEveryone's favorite and lovable red head peaks her head outside of the curtain to get a feel for the audience. "What's taking those stupid monkies so long, how can one simple request be this troublesome?" Anna grumbled to herself. One of the nymphs came over to Anna to let her know Catie was perfectly fine with the request and was excited about the chance to try on that thing. A super monkey approached Anna kinda of slowly almost like he's was afraid of approaching her. "Out with it now and better be worth my time," Anna demanded from her minion. The super monkey would tell Anna that even though Baron was reluctant at first but he eventually, agreeded to do it but well you see we discovered others inside of Baron. Hmm well just get Baron out for now the crowd is getting restless. "Hey red headed Peach you better hurry up, my minions are getting killed out there," a certain Bowser like creature said to Anna. "Hey you don't tell me what to do got it. I can always make you vanish and nobody will ever be able to find you, got me," Anna told Bowser in a very calm like demeanor. Bowser has a bead of cold sweat form and just gulps at Anna's promise. "Umm sorry bout that but can you get that half whatever out here, things are about to get crazy?" Bowser asked Anna. "Oh that don't worry about it just make sure your choir is ready to go, okay" Anna said to Bowser. Bowser exits the room while Anna collects her thoughts and heads towards the stage. BGM; Baron question time (BJ stage SMW2)As Bowser begins to conduct, the orchestra begins to play a more upbeat tune, everyone's favorite red head enters the center stage while sitting on a grand throne. Sam is sound asleep in her lap being carried by a team of super monkies and a s*** ton of water nymphs begin to flood the stage and dancing in the most Smexy way possible much to the relief of the crowd. "Welcome back everybody to Season one of the Arstur Mailbag," Ann proclaimed. "Well I would like to apologize to everyone for the long delay and just know there is no refunds," Anna said as the crowd began to boo one even threw a tomato that hit Bowser right upside his head. "Hey I can't help it if you didn't read the fine print, your welcome to leave but then you would miss the show," Anna told them as a collective grumble began to come over the crowd. "Relax everybody i have a wonderul surprise for you," Anna said to the crowd. "You see I was talking to my sister over at the other mailbag and asked her for ideas on how to drive up viewer ship and she came up with a wonderful idea" Anna proclaims. You know what that means the swimsuits are back," Anna told the crowd as they lightened up. "Our first victim Baron come on down your the next contestant on the Price is Right.... Anna's mailbag," Anna . A slightly embarrassed Baron showed up wearing a pair of black swim trucks, he had a decent built a nice 4 pack, he was pale as a ghost but other then he was certainly above average in the looks department. "Can we just get this over with?" Baron bemoaned. "Relax and who said you get to leave it was just brought to my attention you have two other people with you and we still need you for the rest of the mailbag," Anna said to Baron. Baron just had a dumbfounded look on his face but well Baron realized it was pointless. "Sigh lets just get this over with," Baron sighed. "Okay now to get this dog and pony show started," Anna said as she began asking questions to Baron. Did you make those two elemental swords, or were they handed down to you?B.) They were a keepsake from my mom How would you describe your relationship with your current friends?B.) Great What would you do if you had a sibling—older or younger?B.) Well I would want to chat with them get a chance to know them. I would love to have a brother or sister Who wears the pants in the relationship, you or Catie? B.) Neither we are both go with the flow personality. What is your goal for your future/possibly extended family once your children marry or when you have children will be?B.) Baron closes his eyes for a moment because this question actually takes some thought on his part. I want the life for my kids that I wished I had growing up. Even though I love where my life ended up I do wish I had a better childhood. What I mean is that I want them to know that even though you're different it's okay and you shouldn't let anyone tell you differently. From a rating of 1 to "smokin'!" rate Catie's physical appearance.B.)Hawt What's the difference in taste between virgin blood and not-a-virgin blood? What does what one does with their privates have to do with what their blood is like?B.) Hmm, if I had to say what's the big difference is the quality and taste and properties of the blood. Regular blood is okay but how to put is that it's common like say a cheap bottle of booze. Virgin Blood though is like you having the greatest drink you ever had but it also makes you feel better kind of like a really good wine, or a high quality alcohol. Now why is virgin blood better than normal blood. You read those 30-50 pages when Arstur became 50 shades of Arustur. (Baron Shivers). Tell me would you want anything to do with that blood With Van being a part of you, would sexual interactions with Catie be considered a threesome? B.) Umm Van kinda of just disappears while me and Catie are alone From a rating of 1 to "smokin'!" rate Sam's physical appearance.B.)Meow Who has bigger fangs: Baron or Catie in wolf form?B.) I would say Catie since she's all wolf when she transform and I am still only half vampire What would you do if you met your dad? B.)I don't really know. There is so many things I want to know. But I also have to be realistic my dad doesn't even know I exist so who knows what can happen. If I have to say one thing it would be that he just knows I exist Favorite type of meat? B.)Beef Stayed tune folks part 2 will be up soonish. (Will clean this up when tablet isn't about to die)

Location; Anna stadium.... Pika"Welcome back folks to part 2 of the Baron and friends mailbag," Anna called out as the crowd members that were awake applauded. "Hey who said that you could nap, well we have just the thing for that," Anna said as she motioned for some of the water nymphs to come out from back stage. The water nymphs came out and were waiting for Anna's next order. "You know what to do," Anna said as the nymphs began to drench the sleeping members of the audience. The audience were now beginning to stir awake like what the hell just happened. "Now that I have your attention its time to bring out our participates for today," Anna said as she motioned for the monkies of a super nature and the nymphs of water to bring out Baron and Catie. The first person to enter was Baron who now was wearing a pair of white trunks and well an attempt to add color to Baron. The second person was well, being hidden behind a wall of water nymphs who were each holding an oversized fan. The nymphs began to remove there fans one by one until a young lady in a silver two piece bikini could be scene. The lady had her pink hair flowing her silver top was just big enough to cover up the naughty bits but still showed enough (B/C censorship be dammened this is my show) and a nice silver bottom which was skimpy but not water nymph skimpy. The young lady had her tail wrapped her waist like a belt. "Hey Baron, look what these nice ladies told me, to wear," Catie said showing Baron. "Wow," Baron just gasped out. "Hey this is a new more family friendly version of Arstur," Anna said to the two of them. "Now whoever you are do your stuff," Anna said to an annoyed Bowser. Bowser just huffed beneath his breath and began playing the theme for Arstur mailbag part 2 Bgm; Catie's Theme (Cosmo Cayon)The orchestra came to life as a nice soothing melody like tribal music. On the outer rings people can be seen banging on big drums and people on the flute playing in perfect tone with the drum beats. Bowser needed extra help with this meolidy so he enlisted help from his minions the Boo Buddies. The Boo Buddies were thrilled to be a part of the show and began playing the tamberoines. "Okay time to get this show on the road," Anna said as she pulled out a thing of flash cards. What are the gauntlets made of? Baron; I think mom said they were made of orchalium I think? Why specialize in fire/wind? Baron; Never really thought about it but I just know the wind because of its many uses and wind is one of the easier elements to use but when mastered has so many uses and fire because of its destructive capabilities. What is one flaw you can name about Catie? Baron; (Is too afraid to say it out loud.) I wish she would pay more attention to her surroundings. How often do you and Baron fight? Catie: Not a lot but when he does something stupid like having a friendly duel to the death and getting kicked out of Silver's house. Well then somebody has to be there to teach him a lesson Who is more dominant in bed? Catie: I would say it's 50/50 Similar to Baron, but how would you describe your relationship with Baron and your friends? Catie: Well with Baron he's the love of my life. He is somebody I can always turn to and somebody I can depend on. I don't know where I would be if I never met Baron. As far as my friends I would say great What sort of mother do you hope to be? Catie: A kind, loving mom where my kids know how much I love them, no matter what and they always come to me for anything. From a rating of 1 to "smokin'!" rate Baron's physical appearance. Catie: Grrrreat Is it true what they say about vampires in bed? Catie: Oh if you only knew. All I know is once you go vampire why would you want to go back. Is it possible for someone to be allergic to a laguz Catie: I guess if you're allergic to that particular animal Are there laguz that could shapeshift into other forms besides a wolf? Catie: Well I only know about me and my family and friends we can only change into a wolf. Yet when I was younger dad use to tell me stories about others like us that can take on the forms like cat, birds, lions, etc. I hope to meet one of these legos one day. Rate Sam's Appearance on a scale of 1 to Meow Meow?? Catie: Purrrrfect Favorite meat? Catie: Beef What breed of dog are you most like/what's your favorite? Catie: I would say I resemble a Husky. My favorite I would say is Shepard or Retriever How many Children do you expect to make with Baron? Catie: I am reasonable like 5-10 What is one flaw you can name about Baron? Catie: He's awfully quick to rush to judgement Can you get triggered by something that reminds you of your time as a slave? Catie: Yeah a couple of things in particular. When I see someone getting abused it still brings back memories. Also when I see a wolf getting mistreated Would you say you have a good fashion sense? Catie: Umm I just wear what's comfortable What's your best field of combat? Catie: Fencing and Archery Favorite drink? Catie: This really sweet drink I had right by Vinny's house. It made me feel really loose and relaxed Best dance move? Catie: Umm I can't really dance something about two left feet Are you best friends with anyone? Catie: Yes, even if they resist at first I just eventually beat them into it. Is pink hair natural? Catie: No my natural hair is actually, Silver but by manipulating my mana a bit I can make it pink. Do you think the host is cute? Catie: Yeah she's very pretty Baron: Umm sure If yes, then are you comfortable with the idea of a 3-way? Catie What would that be? Baron....... I plead the 5th What would you is Sam's best feature? Catie; His tail Baron; Dat fur "There you have it folks the final part shall be ready soon," Anna said as the curtains closed and the Boo buddies began to harass the crowd.

Bgm: Boo's Merry go Round"Hey you stupid you better get control of those minions of your," Anna demanded from Bowser. Bowser was trying his best but the buddies of Boo were just floating around making faces at the crowd, spinning in circle, or some even fused together to become Boowser and started playing there tune. Bowser was running around like a headless chicken but the Boo buddies were just taunting him. Anna motioned for the super monkies to handle this, but well they kinda of have a hard time handling things they can't get a hold of. Eventually, some of the water nymphs came running on to the stage screaming barely able to cover them selves as the Boos scared the heck out of them while they were in their dressing rooms. "That's it you asked for it," Anna said as she broke out the latest in Anna technology a cellphone like device. Anna pressed some numbers and talked into the device on the other end a voice could be heard.
BGM; Ghost Busters When it looked liked the Boo buddies were going to ruin the last part of this mailbag a song could be heard from the other end. "If there's something strange in the neighborhood who you gonna call," the lyrics went. The crowd broke out with a, "Ghost busters". As the song continued four guys in uniforms with a picture of a ghost and a circle and a line going through it on their uniform. The guys broke out there guns and began sucking in the Boo buddies into their trap. Unfortunately, some Water nymphs and Super Monkies got drawn into the portal but Anna just explained to the guys that they knew what they were getting themselves into. The last of the Boo buddies safely secured, Anna paid the ghost busters and gave Bowser an angry glare. 15 minutes later....... Dood "Okay folks now that little incident is over time to get this mailbag done and over with," Anna called out as the crowd gave Anna a golf clap. "Oh and as a way of apologizing our humble conductor agreed to give each of the guests a full refund from his own pockets," Anna said as Bowser had a look like what the hell. "Either you give each of these fine guests a full refund or you can always pay me back, and I could always use the slave labor," Anna said while smiling. Bowser just sighed and agreeded to give a full refund. BGM; Final Part (Adventures End M&L DT)"Now then without further ado lets bring out our last guests," Anna said as Baron and Catie arrived in the same swimsuits they were wearing before. Sam also arrived wearing a pair of swimming trunks designed for cats with a little hole for the tail to poke through. "Really I had to wear a pair swim trunks too," Sam asked. "Of course here at Anna's Mail bag we don't believe in discrimination," Anna said as she brought out a thing of flash cards. Do you like tummy wubs?? :3 Sam: Yes (purrs away while Anna rubs tummy) Who's a good kitty? Sam: Me Is it you? Are you a good Kitty? Sam: Yes Meow Meow Yes Are you attracted to cats? Sam: Sigh I hate to admit but the longer I been stuck in this body the more attractive cats have become sigh. Even though I still prefer females humans. Yes I was in a Human like body before. If so, then how much tail are you getting? Sam: Umm I prefer not to say It is said a cat has nine lives. How many lives will your old boss take? Sam: Even if I had 9 million lives he would take all of them What does blood taste like? Sam: Its hard to say, but well I guess it depends on the blood. Human blood has a thick iron taste to it. While animal blood varies in taste, sheep and cow tastes the best. Do you miss your old body? Sam: Like you wouldn't believe How old are you? Sam: At least over 200 years After living with Mary, do you see why Helel loved her? Sam: Yeah, while times were tough for her being abandoned by her family and forced to raise a half vampire by herself. Mary still had that happy go lucky expression and a love for life. Would you eat the Human Human Fruit if it existed in Austur? Sam: What is that exactly? Maybe I guess, I am not sure After Sam was done with his round of interrogation..... I mean questioning, Baron, Catie, and Sam though they were done. When all of a sudden Anna said to them, "I can't let you do that Star fox,". "Umm what's a star fox?" Catie asked. "Remember we still have two guests left and nobody is going anywheres," Anna said as she motioned for the super monkeys brought Baron over to Anna. "Okay this shouldn't hurt too much," Anna said as she reached into Baron's chest. Sam and Catie were looking on in horror until Anna pulled a male who looked like Baron but had a dark aura surrounding him. The next person Anna pulled out was a young lady who had long flowing brown hair. Funny enough the man was wearing swimming trunks similar to Baron and the young lady was wearing a two piece bikini like Catie was wearing. "Van, mom what are you doing here?" Baron gasped as the super monkeys let go of Baron. "Now, now we don't have time for such trivial questions," Anna's said as she turned to Van. Why are you an automobile? Van: ......... Are you stronger than Baron? Van: At first without a doubt. Yet overtime he eventually, started to actually fight the right way. Now he can but up a decent challenge. Is your darkness evil? Van: Not all darkness, is evil I would just say I am the darkness to Baron's light but that doesn't mean I am evil and he's good. Do you actually care about Baron? Van: I would have said no a long time ago. Yet after meeting that crazy lich he made me realize how me and him are a lot alike. So eventually, I began to see him less as a burden and a fool and more like a part of myself as I am a part of him Do you taste everything Baron eats? Van: No Have you ever taken over while Baron is spending private time with Catie? Van: I plead the fifth What would be your ideal wife? Van: Hmm not really sure What would you do if you met Helel? Van: I would love to just sit down over a nice glass of virgin blood and just shoot the breeze Are your morals different than Baron's? Van: I wish I could say yes. I use to be about getting the job done no matter who or what I got in the way. Unfortunately, Baron is starting to have an effect on me when it comes to that If you had your own body for a day, what would you do? Van: Hmm I could go on and on but apparently, I am being told my time is up. (As Anna begins tapping on an invisible watch) Mary) What's your favorite memory with Helel? Our first encounter Mary) Are you proud of your son? Mary: Yes How did you live your life? To its fullest Are you nosy? Mary: How rude. I prefer to be called extremely curious Why are you named Mary? Mary: That's what my parents named me Do you know how rare Dhampires are? Mary: Not really Are you aware of Sam's past? Mary: Yes How does being holy feel? Mary: Great What was your experience like on this show? Baron: Glad it's over Catie; Greatest time of my life Sam: Meow Van and Mary; "Sorry they had to leave as do you," Anna said as she pulled a lever and everybody launched off Team Rocket style into the sky. |

The time for the wedding ceremony had finally come. Elia's heart fluttered uncontrollably, and her breath kept catching in her throat. She couldn't speak as she shakily pinned her hair out of her face, so that it wouldn't get in the way but the rest could fall freely, a rare sight considering how she nearly constantly wore it up. Finishing her hair was the last step of her preparations. She slowly walked to look at her reflection in the mirror to see if anything needed to be fixed in the time she had left before the ceremony started. Once she mustered up enough confidence to say that everythig had come together as best it was going to the only thing that was left was to join Vincent for their wedding, and so she slowly began the walk towards Yggdrassil, reflecting on each step of the way, feverishly noting all the details and how beautiful everything seemed to be that day...

Vincent stood at the top of the hill, beneath the World Tree's mighty branches, looking down the mountain path leading to the tree and waiting for his bride-to-be. His long black hair was unbound, and flowed freely in the light wind. His polished obsidian armor glistened and sparkled in the Sun, and the crimson underside of his cape flashed as it billowed in the breeze, giving him a truly regal appearance. He wore no crown- his bride was marrying him, not his title- and instead wore a thin laurel of leaves and white flowers around his forehead. Two metal braziers had been erected on either side of the end of mountain path, planted into the ground, forming a makeshift gateway into the wedding area. Once those two great torches were lit, the ceremony would officially begin. Raizel stood to his left, dressed in the royal purple and golden robes of a Shiryuan Priest of the very highest order, and Silver stood off to his right, looking gorgeous in a long dark blue gown. Raizel's wife, Selia, stood off to the side. Unfortunately, Nivian couldn't make it, as her and most of his relatives were busy tending to the birth, but Vincent didn't let that dampen his spirits. Not today. He was far too happy.
Finally, he saw her. Elia came into view, walking up the mountain path every bit like the Queen she was, and Vincent inhaled sharply. She was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. She walked up to him, and right into his arms, smiling widely and blushing beautifully.
"You're so incredibly beautiful Elia," Vincent whispered to her, as he tightened his arms around her. She was exquisite, and her dress was gorgeous. But he could tell she was also nervous. "Are you nervous?" He asked her softly, smiling, as he tenderly massaged her bare shoulders.

"Of course, but it's the best sort of nervousness," she whispered back, looking deeply into his eyes and smiling.

Vincent's smile only widened, and he leaned down to kiss her. Unfortunately, before he could, Raizel cleared his throat. "You're getting a bit ahead of yourself, aren't you?" Raizel said, laughing slightly.
Vincent grinned, his lips stopping an inch away from Elia's. He moved up to kiss her forehead instead.
"Are you two ready?" Raizel asked.
Vincent nodded and turned to the angel in his arms.

More than a little disappointed after being denied that kiss, but she was more motivated than ever to start the ceremony because of it. She nodded to indicate that she was ready to start the ceremony before she turned her gaze to the ground, suddenly sheepish.

Raizel inclined his head, and with a flick of his wrist, the twin torches blazed to life. "Under the ever-watchful eye of Father Heaven and the sacred branches of the World Tree, we stand here today to bear witness to the joining of two very special individuals," Raizel began. "Vincent Oda, one of the Children of the Stars, and Elia Arrington, the young woman pledged to him. As life so often teaches us, life is brief, and happiness is fleeting. It is for this reason we cling to those moments of happiness when we manage to find them."
Raizel turned to Elia. "Elia Arrington, do you love the man with you today?"

"I love him more than words could ever express," Elia said with the utmost confidence.

Raizel turned to Vincent. "And you, Vincent Oda, do you feel the same? Do you love the woman in your arms, with all your heart and soul?"
"I do," he answered softly, staring deep into Elia's eyes, and smiling. He tightened his arms around her, pressing her against him. "I love her with all that I am. She is my entire world, my everything."
Raizel smiled at that, and nodded. "Under Father Heaven, and under Shiryuan law, your oaths of love are recognized. Now, it is time for your vows. First, the Groom."
Vincent smiled widely, and looked down at Elia, staring directly into her eyes as he repeated his vow. "I, Vincent Oda, promise to love and to hold you, and only you, Elia Arrington, for as long as I shall live. You are my guiding light when I am lost, and you are my way home, and I vow to be the same for you. No matter what we face, through hardship and storm, I promise to always be by your side, to give you a shoulder to lean on, and a place to rest your head. I promise to keep you safe from any and all that might do you harm, and to give you a life free of worry or doubt, a life where you can be happy and simply be yourself. I promise to never attempt to control you, and to never allow anyone else to do so either, regardless of who that person may be. You will never be alone again, Elia, and we will walk towards our future together, arm in arm, side by side, and I promise that never again will I look back, unless it is to help you up when you stumble. I am, and always will be, forever yours."
He suddenly grinned and added, "But I make no promises that I won't be very overprotective of you, my Elia. You're just going to have to deal with my paranoia."

"Just as you will have to learn to live with my near constant nagging concern for your well-being," Elia said in response to his last minute addition to his vows.
She then looked deeply into his eyes, searching for words. And just as she knew she would, it was in those kind and loving eyes that she found the words she needed.
"Vincent Oda, you are my everything. You have protected me, and saved me by helping me to return to the path I wished for my life to take. You gave me my life back. It was during this time that we discovered our love for one another. You truly are the love of my life. And so now, I stand here, for what is the happiest day of my life, to take the life you gave back to me... and share it with you forever. So I promise to love only you as well, and I look foward to the best days of our lives; those that begin tomorrow, the days we will spend together. I love you, Vincent Oda."

That time, it would have taken a whole heck of a lot more than Raizel to stop Vincent from kissing her. Sighing and shaking his head, Raizel didn't even try. He merely turned away, while Vincent tightened his arms around Elia and kissed her senseless.
"Go ahead and take your time," Raizel grumbled under his breath. "Far be it for me to tell you otherwise. Next time, you can host the ceremony yourself."
Vincent laughed as he finally pulled away from his angel. He turned to look over at his uncle, and grinned. "Oh lighten up, you old hag. You did the same thing during your wedding, and it doesn't affect the ceremony one bit."
A light, soft laugh echoed from behind them. "He's right, you know," Selia chimed in, smiling at her husband.
Raizel threw his arms up in surrender. "Now you're siding with him too, Sel? Fine, fine. Do as you please. Just tell me when you're ready to continue."
Vincent laughed again, and turned back to Elia, leaning down to kiss her once more. Still grinning, he pulled back and motioned to Raizel, who promptly cleared his throat.
"Yes. Well now. If I may... Your vows have been heard and recognized. Stay true to them, and as long as you both shall live, you shall be guaranteed happiness under Father Heaven. This next part of the ceremony begins with a bit of a story. Long ago, when life was first breathed into humankind's lips, something was withheld from each child, and placed into another. Since then, for all time, every person, man and woman alike, have searched for this missing part of themselves. This something... Is our soul. Our heart. Twin sides of the same coin, withheld from us, and placed under the care of the person we are destined to be with. Finding that missing part of ourselves... That is the search for love. As is the custom in Shiryu since ancient times, when two people find their soulmate, their other half, they trade their most prized possession to each other, to illustrate the ultimate bond of trust that will forever join your souls and your hearts together. With this exchange, you will both be wed under Shiryuan law, and your rings will be placed around you on a golden chain, symbolizing that you are now one. Tomorrow, after the marriage is consummated and the rings have been placed on your fingers, the marriage will be binding, no matter where you go, in this world, or any other. Now, are you ready? As is custom, the bride begins the Heart Exchange."

Elia smiled, then motioned for Silver. Silver brought a book of some sort to her, and placed it in her hands. Elia looked down at the book, a beautiful leather bound journal, and then gave it to Vincent. "This is where I have recorded all of my thoughts, my hopes, my aspirations to find my place in this world. It represents the person that I am. And now, I have found the place in the world I aspired to reach, which is by my beloved's side. This is for you. Inside this journal you will find everything about me that I have told you and still more. There are no secrets in my life that are not contained within this journal. Now that you have this you can know all of who I am, every question you meant to ask but didn't think of has its answer inside."

Vincent took the journal from her carefully, holding it in his hands with extreme care, treating it like a precious object. He closed his eyes for a moment, then carefully slipped the journal into his inside cloak pocket. "I will treasure it always Yekiri," he whispers softly to her. "Just as I will treasure your heart. I will guard it as zealously as I guard you."
He then retrieved a small pair of golden earrings from the same pocket, and handed them to her. "These belonged to Valerie, the woman who raised me. The woman who saved my life when I was helpless, the woman who was there for me when I had lost everything... When I was all alone. I can think of no one better to have them than you, Elia."
He smiled as he closed Elia's hands over the earrings, covering her hands with his own, and leaned down to kiss her again. "I have carried these earrings with me for my entire life, Elia. They are at the very core of who I am. This is the ultimate symbol of my trust, Elia, and it is the proof of my pledge to you. From now on, I will always look towards the future. Our future. I love you, Elia. Never forget that."

Raizel looks over at Vincent and Elia before continuing. Vincent nods, signalling him they were ready.
"Then, by the power invested in me, I hereby declare you husband and wife. May your days be joyous and the nights you spend together be free of doubt or worry. You may kiss the bride... Again."
Vincent laughed in delight and swung Elia up into his arms, kissing her deeply, freely. It took several full minutes before Raizel could get their attention again. But he didn't seem to upset about that.
Once Vincent had finally lowered his new wife back down onto the ground, leaving her breathless and beaming in his arms, Raizel walked over and draped a long golden chain loosely around their shoulders. It was the chain with their rings attached. Raizel then stepped back and smiled. "Now, it is time for the last part of tonight's ceremony, and perhaps the most important. The first dance of your new lives together, that symbolizes you are now one. Selia, if you would..."
Selia smiled and wasted little time opening the leather violin case at her feet, producing an elegant and beautiful violin. The dark red wood was polished to a glistening sheen, and the strings looked like they were made of golden silk. It was obvious how much love and care had gone into the instrument, and how special it was. And when Selia began to play, ever so softly, it was like the entire mountain came alive. It was like her playing produced some sort of magic, and honestly, Vincent couldn't even begin to describe it. He knew Raizel's wife was the goddess of music and the patroness of minstrels, but until that moment, he had never fully understood what that meant, or just how gifted she truly was. It was like her music amplified all of the positive emotions they were feeling. But even Selia's wondrous music couldn't keep his attention away from his young bride.
He tightened his arms around Elia and leaned down to whisper, "Just follow my lead, my love. The dance isn't that difficult to learn."
He then showed her where to place her arms, just as Selia's music began to pick up, signalling the start of their first dance together. It was a slow, elegant dance, one not all that different from a Cleatian slow dance. Vincent took it even slower at first, teaching Elia how and where to step, and she quickly got the hang of it. She always had been his best student, his little protégé. His little angel.
Once they fell into the rhythm of the dance, and Elia relaxed a bit, Vincent took the time to speak to her softly, just the two of them.
"I want you to know, this is the happiest day of my life," he whispered, his eyes shining with adoration.
He paused for a moment, thinking, then asked, "What would you like to do for our honeymoon, my Elia?"

"Well, I have considered some things, of course..." she whispered, "But not exactly anything like travelling. I just thought we would enjoy some time at home for a while."

"That would be lovely," Vincent answered, smiling. He tightened his arms around her, and closed his eyes for a brief moment, letting her warmth comfort him.
"Have you given any thought to a name?" He asked suddenly, as he played with her hair while they danced. "For our firstborn. We have plenty of time my dear, I'm merely curious."
