The Wedding

Raito made his way to the alter, placed among the Sakura trees. "Wow...Its finaly happening" the hybrid said, looking at the chairs, put in the shade of the pink flowered trees. "So...If this is such a happy occasion. why do I have a bad feeling about this"

"Because its something unknown." Christabelle said stepping out from behind a tree. "And people are afraid of which they do not know." she said holding back a giggle. She was wearing a dress that was a deep cerulean blue on the bottom of the hem that slowly faded to white as it went higher. She smiled sweetly.

As Larien walked towards the grove, her father waited for her at the bridge for him to give her away. Children picked up her long dress so that it wouldn't get dirty and she giggled.

"Ready?" Torin smiled holding his arm out to Larien.

Larien nodded as two village women parted the drapes of leaves that hid her from Raito's view as she took her father's arm.

"huh..Oh wow" Rai said as Larien came into his line of sight, standing there, her father walking her down the aisle, his face slightly flushed. 'you really look good in that dress' Rai told her through the mind link

Christy quickly moved to her seat as everyone stood up to look towards Larien and she smiled seeing how beautiful her friend looked today. She stood and watched as Larien would make her way down the aisle.

Larien blushed smiling and waved her fingers slightly to Christy who was standing close to Anna. Her brothers stood on the other side of Rai and they both smiled wide at her as well as her father looking down at her. She giggled as young children still carried her dress even through the grove.

Christy grinned and smiled waving her left index finger towards her as she did when they were little.

Rai stood there, His fieance's brothers standing at his sides, acting as his best men. his ears suddently twitched up to the sky, but then returned to normal "ok...thats weird" he wispered to himself

Larien felt her body shiver as something cold passed over her shoulders. She smiled ignoring it as her father kissed her cheeks, placing her hand into Raito's as they stood before the High Elf Priest.

Raito looked to the other side of the alter and saw a ghostly figure, she looked alittle bit like Larien, only older and more mature 'woah...Larien...do you see what im seeing?' he asked, not realizing he was looking at Larien's mother.

Larien's eyes drifted to the figure standing beside her now and her eyes widened slightly filling with tears. "M-mother?" she said and glanced over a Christy if she was seeing it as well.

The deceased queen's form came a little more clear, but still not all the way there. She smiled. "It is I, my daughter," her voice faint.

Christy had already moved to take the high priest's place and saw the same thing.

"your mother?" Rai whispered, holding her hand, his eyes switching between larien and Her mother's ghost

Larien's mother stood within inches from her and her smile quickly turned to a serious look. "My girl," she said, her voice with a slight echoe. "Though this be your happy day, great danger lurks within this grove. Though presences seems of good nature and holyness, it is a terrible being." A ghostly hand touched Larien's face as it faded and looked at Raito. "Take care of her well, young hybrid. Though she defeats you in age, you will grow with her in strength." With that the desceased queen faded and tears ran down Larien's cheeks. "Mother, don't go..."

"The Goddess truly does smile upon us this day." she said looking towards Larien. "Don't cry." she said reaching out and wiping the tears off of the elven princess's face.

Larien lifted her head and smiled weakly at her friend. "I wish she could've stayed.." she said, her voice cracking from holding back tears.

"Live well knowing while she may not have lived to see this day, she still saw this day and is watching you from the spirit plane right now as we speak." she said smiling.

"She's right Larien" Raito said holding her hands tight, "Now, Lets get married" the hybrid said, gazing into her eyes

Larien giggled and looked back,. She smiled and looked to Christy. "We're ready," she said, her voice clearer.

Christy smiled at this. "None speak. Our goddess smiles upon this union now and forever. These two have sworn there Hearts, Minds, and Bodies, to each other," As she said this a whit cord wrapped itself around the wrists pulling the three togeather. "In sharing a love you both must share yourselves to each other as well." Christabelle said with a knowing grin. "You will take care of the other as you would your self." A blue cord wrapped around the three wrists. "The blue represents the mind. Share your thoughts openly, and honestly." A red cord wrapped around them. "The red represents the heart. Be open to each other in all things." A purple cord wrapped around them. "The purple represents the body. Your body is not yours alone now. It belongs to the other as well. And the White Cord represents the everlasting. There is no breaking this vow that you have taken." As he said this the extra length of the white cord tied into the knot binding them then the four cords shimmered and faded away. "As the Goddess wills it so mote it be." As she finished saying this two crowns of flowers appeared on their heads, christy smiling at this for she knew that it was her mother's way of presenting them with a blessing of her own.

Larien looked at Rai, her face slightly flushed and she smiled. Her hand gripped his tightly.

Christy giggled, "Um..you may kiss the bride now." she said watching them.
((Sorry I have to get to bed...I got major errands to run in a few hours.))

((Night nighty have fun : ) ))

Raito smiled back, his face flushed, holding her hand as tight as she was holding his, his ears twitching slightly, but he was too busy to notice, then he pulled Larien in closer and kissed her softly

Larien handed Anna her bouqet and wrapped her arms around him, kissing him back. THe villagers rose from their seats clapping and children danced tossing lily and rose petals in the air around them.
