Valor:<br/><br/>Valor had spoken those words as clear and concise as he could have. After getting to know Ariella and spending time in the court at the human castle he had gained a deeper appreciation for the humans and he wanted the treaty to be a success. Of course the treaty being a success meant that he had to watch her walk down the aisle to marry his brother. He spun around so that he could watch her walk up the aisle. His lips were suddenly dry. He couldn't believe how truly magnificent she looked. She looked every bit the royal as she walked up the aisle slowly with the bouquet of flowers in her hands. He was reminded of one of the times he sneaked into her room at night and had brought her a bouquet of flowers.<br/><br/>Ariella and Valor had had a three week relationship but he was observant. And he had studied her immensely during that time as he wanted to get to know her as well as possible. He knew she wasn't happy. He could see it in her eyes. He couldn't tell if anyone else could see the pain in those purple eyes of hers but it made his chest hurt.<br/><br/>Valor's hands were shaking. The normally cool and collected vampire couldn't believe fate would be this cruel. To make him watch her get married. But then again maybe this was fate punishing him for not only breaking the rules of the treaty but falling in love with a woman he knew was promised to someone else. They had both known from the beginning there was no hope for them. But they had spent so much time in that three week period that while it wasn't a lot of time in the grand scheme of things he didn't question that he loved her.<br/><br/>Jalice:<br/><br/>Jalice stared at Rosalie until Ariella walked into the chapel. His scarlet eyes remained fixed on her as she made the slow walk up to the alter. He had no doubt that she was a beautiful woman to many of the humans gathered there. She was dressed elegantly in her long white dress and with her hair up. And yet even as he thought that he realized he wasn't thinking objectively. It wasn't that he realized others thought she was beautiful. She WAS beautiful. Her purple eyes were an even deeper shade than Valor's which surprised him.<br/><br/>He wanted to hate her. He HAD hated her all the way up to her stopping in front of him. But he could tell more than ever that she didn't want this either. She had been forced into this union just as he had. Breaking script Jalice reached out and took both of her hands in his. They were remarkably warm and soft. He gave them a gentle squeeze. He leaned in and whispered into her ear, "I understand."<br/><br/>After he said that the priest the humans had brought with them began talking. He talked of holy unions and all sorts of other rubbish before he proceeded to the vows. Whenever it was his turn to repeat a vow he did so. Assuming the princess did so as well it wasn't long before he reached the most important part.<br/><br/>"You may now kiss the bride."<br/><br/>Jalice turned and faced her and swallowed past the lump in his throat. He stepped closer to her until their chests almost pressed together. He couldn't deny that she smelled lovely. He could hear the blood pounding through her veins. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips. When he pulled back he would be lying if he said he felt anything deep in the kiss. It was just a kiss shared between two people forced into marriage.<br/><br/>Kera:<br/><br/>"Ugh. Don't tell me we're lost again!"<br/><br/>"Please stop yelling at me. You're hurting my feelings!"<br/><br/>"Kera. And Kera. Please...shut up. You're making it hard to think," Kera said glaring at the other two Keras. She ran a hand through her white hair and looked around. It had been far too long since Kera had been to the Valic Dominion. Each Kera was wearing a pendant though so the sun wouldn't scorch them alive.<br/><br/>Angry Kera said, "don't talk to me that way. I'll beat you up."<br/><br/>Neutral Kera said, "no,you'll just be beating yourself up."<br/><br/>Crying Kera whined, "please stop it you two! You're tearing yourself apart."<br/><br/>Angry and Neutral Kera stared at Crying Kera.<br/><br/>Neutral Kara said, "alright. For now let's just become one again. Please?" Two of the three Keras vanished leaving the true Kera behind. Her sister was getting married and here she was squabbling with herself lost in the forest. She was wearing a modest red dress that married well with her red eyes. Much like her half-sister she had lengthy locks of white. She wondered if her sister would even remember her.<br/><br/>The wind shifted and she caught the faint scent of humans. A playful smirk appeared on Kera's face. Perfect. She then darted off in that direction. Undoubtedly that was where the Dominion was.
