Today, a cheerful mood emanated throughout the entirety of the Final Haven Kingdom.
Each streets were draped with celebratory decorations, everyone wore their best outfits and were headed outside of their home. The Royal Palace is crowded with people, each one are discussing the most important event that will happen very soon.
Today is the day of Vendrick Valorheart and Lunafreya Lightshield's wedding.
Music filled the streets, chatters echoed across the halls, a long and wide red carpet laid out from the entrance of the Inner Circle all the way towards the Royal Palace. Invitation were sent a long time ago, and those who were invited were dressed in suits and gowns, a large array was set in order for the rest to witness the wedding as well.
Majority of the Knights formed a line that traced edges of the carpet. And as the heated discussions of the crowd continued, a sound of a loud horn interrupted their discussions, causing them to focus in front.
All eyes watched the person who blew the horn. Clearing his throat a couple of times, his booming voice sounded to the masses.
”Everyone. We are glad to have you as witnesses, to the marriage of Vendrick Valorheart and Lunafreya Lightshield!!”
As soon as finished speaking, a gentle and romantic music started emanating everywhere.
”Look above!”
It was unknown who said that but it caused everyone to look up as well.
”Oh my goodness! What is this!”
”Auspicious signs of the heaven! The heavens are witnessing this event!”
”How enviable!”
To their surprise, they saw the clouds parting to reveal a beautiful curtain of aurora. Out of nowhere, a silhouette of an enormous butterfly streaked across the skies, leaving sparkling glitters that gently fell to the ground.
Tree roots emerged in between the spaces of the Knights stationed on the edges of the red carpet. Together, they formed beautiful arches that bloomed with multiple flowers, emanating fragrant scent all over the Kingdom.
”Oh my god!”
”How beautiful! How romantic!”
”This should be caused by the Moonlight Butterfly and The Kind Ent right?”
”Yes! I heard somewhere that they are great godparents of the groom and the bride!”
”Ah look! Here comes the bridesmaid and their escorts!”
The chosen bridesmaid and their escorts appeared at the procession, each of them are accompanied by a pixies who're spreading flower petals as they marched. The bridesmaids are chosen from Luna's closest friends and students, and of course this includes Anne and Ellen, whom are escorted by their respective partners, Mark and Paul.
Collective gasps and groans could be heard from the crowd. Some girls are shedding tears of envy and joy while some men are envious and wishing that they were the groom instead.
The procession proceeds and one by one all of those who will be participating on the wedding arrived. At some point, arches and streaks of rainbows flooded the whole kingdom, making it seem like the lands are transforming into paradise.
”Family of the groom! Evangeline and Luis Valorheart, along with their twin daughters Venina and Victoria.”
After that announcement, a shadow streaked across the skies and landed on the procession line. Raven's family could be seen, riding on the back of a Blue Flood Dragon.
”Is that a Dragon!?”
”It is! A young Flood Dragon! How did His Excellency found such a thing?”
”And it is tamed too! His Excellency's family are riding on it's back! What an entrance!”
As the gossips of the crowd intensifies, Luis and Eva who's riding on the mount, were filled with mixtures of complicated emotions. Luis was filled with endless pride and joy, he stood proud and tall as he faced he witnessed the expressions of the crowd. Eva was already crying, and the twins joined the pixies Aisha and Aina to scatter flower petals on the ground.
The Flood Dragon carried the family all the way to the ancestral grounds where the wedding will take place. As soon as they arrived, they flew down from the mount and stood beside the ritual altar.
