This is a record of the Wedding of Emileeza and TuracEndeem Ingeir--as FFRPlayed in a private chatroom. ((To read the wedding in story format instead -- click here.)) They had decided not to wed in the Emporium, and opted instead for a room representing Emil's Druid Grove----
You are standing in a lush wooded grove of swaying trees and flowering vines,..you see sulight filtering through the dense canopy above and notice it is brighter just a few yards ahead…there the trees give way to a beautiful glade of soft grass and wildflowers near a spring of bubbling water. The animals all around you are chittering quietly as if in reverence to the glade’s purpose. Here amid the trees and animals,…Emileeza Ulandra, High Druid of the Grove of the Dancing Trees will wed her true love, TuracEndeem.
Quazi steps out of the Forests, looking about.
TuracEndeem smiles and bows to his friend
Quazi bows to his friends, smiling warmly.
TuracEndeem is wearing full ceremonial platemail of silver, gold and platinum
Emileeza is wearing her ceremonial robes of living ivy and wildflowers...she has wildflowers in her hair as well as a single rose given to her by Turac when they first met.
Quazi says, "I received your message, noble Turac."
TuracEndeem nods
TuracEndeem says, "I see Murh is good for something..."
Emileeza smiles to her friend Quazi.
TuracEndeem chuckles slightly to himself
Quazi says, "Is he the son of Aeros?"
TuracEndeem says, "Aye... though not a true blood..."
TuracEndeem says, "he is adopted"
Quazi says, "Ahh...."
Quazi looks around, taking in the peace and spledor of the Grove.
Quazi says, "Are there any others you wish to have present, my friends?"
TuracEndeem says, "none that we can contact i think... though my family is here already"
TuracEndeem motions slightly and Skad, Murh and Alae step into view
Quazi nods to them politely.
TuracEndeem says, "Noble Quazi... meet SkadUalin, MurhEndor, and AlaeUraka... my family..."
Quazi bows to each of them, in order.
Quazi says, "It is an honor."
Emileeza motions to her sister...Amelia Ulandra,...as she steps out of the shadows,..a Drow Elven lady
Alae>AerosAtar unfortunately has to egg sit, but he sends his blessings"
You say, "This is Amelia Ulandra"
You say, "She is my adopted sister."
Quazi turns and smiles warmly at Amelia.
Quazi bows to her.
TuracEndeem also smiles
TuracEndeem bows deeply
Amelia bows...It is an honor to meet you Turac,...I have heard many great things about you."
Quazi says, "It is an honor to meet any kin of noble Emileeza."
TuracEndeem says, "thank ye miss... a pleasure it is to meet the sister of my love... I hope ye do not object to this..."
Amelia stands straight,..her own elven armor gleaming,..."Nay sir,..i am happy for my sister...and for you.""
Quazi looks about at the various family members
Quazi says, "I take it none of you have any objections either?"
TuracEndeem 's Family smile their approval, each decked out in their best apparel
Amelia looks at Quazi..."Nay, sir...Emileeza's family approves."
Quazi says, "Where do you wish to be wed, my good friends."
Quazi looks about the Grove.
TuracEndeem says, "Emil>where do ye wish love?"
TuracEndeem smiles
You say, "Here in the glade,..in the sunlight.."
Quazi smiles warmly at his friends.
Emileeza moves near Turac's side.
TuracEndeem smiles
Quazi removes his back satchel, laying it on the ground.
Quazi reaches into it, removing two strands of kelp and a large pearl.
Quazi wraps the pearl in the kelp, and lays it quietly on the ground.
Quazi looks around for a place to lean his staff against.
Emileeza smiles up at Turac..and turns back to Quazi.
TuracEndeem smiles, but doesnt need to see emil to know how lovely she looks
A racoon comes up to Quazi's side and takes the staff and places it next to a large swaying tree."
TuracEndeem tells you, "(a small reassuring touching of the mind)"
Quazi seems a bit surprised at first, but allows his staff to be taken.
You tell TuracEndeem, "You can feel how nervous she is.."
Quazi draws his crystal knife and turns to his friends.
Emileeza looks to Quazi.
TuracEndeem stands quietly, ready to do as directed
Quazi says, "I feel as though I must warn you... the ceremony is a mixture of a fertility rite of my people and the marriages I have learned amongst the humans... I have been told it is rather... potent, my dear friends."
TuracEndeem smiles
Emileeza smiles
TuracEndeem says, "well perhaps it will be again..."
Emileeza blushes
TuracEndeem smiles down at emileeza briefly, then turns back to Quazi
Quazi looks at Turac.
Quazi says, "Will you please remove your right gauntlet?"
TuracEndeem does so, the gauntlet of almost pure Platinum, with gold relief designs upon it sliding easlily from his hand
Quazi hands Turac the crystal dagger.
Quazi says, "Please cut open your palm with the dagger."
TuracEndeem takes it and does so
Quazi takes the dagger back and turns to Emileeza, handing her the dagger.
Quazi says, "Will you do like wise?"
TuracEndeem a look of slight concentration crosses his face as silver flames start to cover the wound, but they quickly receed
Emileeza takes the dagger
Emileeza looks at Quazi and then slices her own palm,..not flinching.
Quazi holds his hand out for the dagger.
Emileeza gives the dagger back to Quazi.
Emileeza looks up at Turac.
TuracEndeem smiles down at her
Emileeza smiles
Quazi says, "Now, please, clasp hands and look into each other's eyes. No matter what I say or do, do not take your eyes from each other. Do you understand?"
You say, "yes"
TuracEndeem nods and takes emileeza's hand, staring deep into her eyes
Emileeza clasps her hand in Turac's and looks deep into his.
Quazi places the dagger in the earth, underneath their clasped hands. He takes the kelp from the pearl and wraps it around his friends' clasped hands, weaving the two pieces of seaweed intricately.
Quazi says, "What was once two is now one, what was once separate is now whole. Blood and flesh intertwined."
Quazi says, "One flesh, two hearts, two souls."
Quazi looks at Turac.
Murh tries to get a better look but is quickly and gently pulled back into place by Alae.
TuracEndeem does not avert his gaze from emileeza's eyes
Emileeza continues to stare deeply into Turac's eyes as she listens to Quazi's voice.
Quazi says, "Turac Endeem, noble Dragon of Silver, friend and ally of all that are good. Do you swear to love this woman, to cherish her, to honor her, to hold no secrets from her, forever and ever, and all eternity?"
TuracEndeem says, "aye, I do..."
Quazi turns to Emileeza.
Emileeza smiles and holds her gaze at Turac.
Quazi says, "Emileeza Ulandra, noble Druid, protector of Nature and all her children. Do you swear to love this man, to cherish him, to honor him, to hold no secrets from him, forever and ever, and all eternity?"
You say, "I do"
TuracEndeem smiles and his soft amber eyes gaze into Emileeza's
Emileeza smiles warmly at Turac.
Quazi lays both hands on top of the interwoven kelp.
Quazi says, "Then by your oaths, you are bound. You are bound to each other, through eternity, by bonds unbreakable. With words and oaths, two have become one."
Quazi says, "One flesh, one heart, two souls."
Quazi removes his hands, and picks up the large pearl.
Quazi silently crushes the pearl in his two hands, sprinkling the powder over the clasped hands.
Quazi says, "((You feel your souls beginning to mingle, to see each other entirely through the other... your souls are becoming one, a unity that you have never known before.))"
Quazi 's eyes glow slightly, casting a pale luminance. His staff, even at such a distance, casts the same luminance.
TuracEndeem holds Emil's gaze with his eyes
Emileeza holds Turac's gaze.
Quazi says, "With the power of the Bright Eye, two souls become one. A blessing of Amaterasu, the mother of creation, upon you, my friends. And with that blessing, two souls become one."
Quazi says, "One flesh."
Quazi says, "One heart."
Quazi says, "One soul."
Quazi says, "Forever."
Quazi reaches down, pulling up his crystal dagger.
You say, "The animals in the glade chitter for a second before a large buck stares at them and they quiet down and watch."
Quazi neatly cuts the interwoven kelp, knowing the symbolism to no longer be needed.
Emileeza smiles at Turac as she continues to look into his eyes...
Quazi says, "You are one, forever and ever."
Murh again attempts to get a better look but a scowl from SKad ((rare indeed)) sets him in his place.
TuracEndeem smiles wrmly at emil, his eyes fixed on her's, love clearly evident
Quazi sheathes his knife, smiles at his two friends, his ceremony over.
Quazi turns and slithers over to the tree, picking up his staff
Emileeza squeezes Turac's hand tightly at Quazi's words and leans closer to him.
TuracEndeem leans forward
Emileeza smiles warmly at her new husband and kisses him gently.
TuracEndeem returns his wife's kiss, but breaks it after a short time...
Quazi turns back, never one to understand the mammalian custom of kissing.
TuracEndeem says, "Quazi>noble friend,will ye please witness one more thing..."
Emileeza smiles at Quazi.
Quazi slithers back to the newly weds.
Emileeza looks up at Turac
Quazi says, "I will, my noble friend."
TuracEndeem says, "This I must do for my people, not for my family, but for those of my race who do not believe that our union, the union of dragon and non-dragon, can work..."
Quazi nods, quietly.
TuracEndeem says, "Emileeza, my love... I speaketh this for ye..."
TuracEndeem says, "I, TuracEndeem, with Lord Io the Ninefold as my witness, do hereby swear to take thee, Emileeza, as lifemate, To love and protect, to cherish and revere, 'til the end of my days. May Io's blessing be upon us and prove this joining of two into, One Flesh, One Breath, One Life, to be a long and prosperous one."
TuracEndeem removes a small solid platinum ring from a pouch and gently slips it onto her left ring finger.
TuracEndeem stands looking lovingly at emil
Emileeza smiles up at Turac,..tears finally welling in her eyes as she can no longer hold them back...
Quazi says, "I, the Quazi, formerly the Ashlim, servant of Amaterasu, the Bright Eye, hereby second this noble Dragon, my dear friend, and bear witness to his oath."
TuracEndeem kisses emileeza deeply, his oath now spoken for none to dispute
Emileeza breaks the kiss as she feels a tugging on her robes…
The racoon who had taken Quazi's staff earlier brings something over to Emil and places it in her hand.
You say, :looks down at the racoon...."Thank you dear one,...it took you awhile,...its a good thing you did not lose it..."
Emileeza takes Turac's hand and places a jade band on his left ring finger.
You say, "Turac, my love,..this is a symbol of my neverending love for thee"
TuracEndeem looks at the ring and kisses her
Emileeza kisses him back.
Quazi speaks in a louder voice
Quazi says, "Let it hereby go forth this day. Turac Endeem and Emileeza Ulandra are husband and wife, and lifemates. Let all who deny or object seek me out to silence their false claims."
Quazi says, "This I do swear."
Quazi smiles at his two friends.
TuracEndeem smiles his thanks to his noble friend
Amelia > Aye and I will silence any objections as well...
TuracEndeem 's family nod and slowly fade into nothingness, Murh looking questioningly at Skad and Alae, the other two simply giving each other knowing looks....
Quazi says, "I will give you your privacy now, my dear friends."
Quazi says, "It has been my honor to be here this day."
TuracEndeem smiles
Quazi looks at the warm sunlight streaming into the Grove.
TuracEndeem says, "Thank ye noble Quazi, ye have done us both a service I will never be able to repay"
Quazi says, "Indeed, Amaterasu herself gives her approval of the wedding."
Emileeza Amelia walks over to Quazi.."That was a wonderful service, sir.. my sister has good friends"
Quazi smiles at Amelia, then turns to Turac.
TuracEndeem notes the small, fading symbol of an eight pointed star, the celestial spoke extended, that was above Quazi's head...
TuracEndeem smiles as he catches a glimps of thestar
Emileeza walks over to Quazi as well,..."Yes dear Quazi,..thank you for performing our ceremony,..you made it even more special than I imagined.
Quazi says, "It is not me you have to repay. Just live long and happily, that is payment enough."
Emileeza gives Quazi a big hug.
TuracEndeem says, "'twould appear Lord Io agrees with ye goddess, noble frind... they both let their blessings be known..."
Quazi returns the hug warmly.
TuracEndeem also hugs his friend, caught up in the emotions of the place
Quazi says, "Indeed... I was but the tool. The force of the binding was beyond my own."
You say, "Aye, and Obad-Hai has been watching as well through the animals and the trees..."
TuracEndeem doesnt hold the hug though, simply hugs quazi breifly
Quazi smiles warmly at his friends.
Quazi says, "I will leave you to your privacy now, good friends."
Quazi says, "Something tells me you wish it so..."
Emileeza smiles at Quazi
TuracEndeem smiles at quazi and looks to emil
Quazi breaks the hug, and picks up his back satchel, swinging it over his shoulders.
TuracEndeem says, "Quazi>noble friend, stay here if ye wish... I have somewhere i wish to show to my beautiful wife..."
TuracEndeem says, "Enjoy the peace if ye wish it..."
Quazi shakes his head.
Quazi says, "I must be going... there was unfinished business back at the Emporium."
TuracEndeem nods
Quazi says, "May the Bright Eye guard you both."
TuracEndeem says, "I understand, farewell dear friend, may Lord Io watch over ye"
Quazi turns and slithers into the deep forest, disappearing within.
Amelia watches him leave and gets on her horse and rides away into the forest...
TuracEndeem turns to emil
TuracEndeem placing an arm behind her he lifts and swings her gently so he is carrying her
TuracEndeem didn't break the kiss
Emileeza puts her arms around his neck...still holding the kiss...
TuracEndeem disappears in a blast of snow and ice, carrying emileeza in tender loving arms…
