…

KAHLAN: I killed you. I tried to confess you.

RICHARD: It didn't work.

KAHLAN: How is that possible?

ZEDD: The same reason you were brought out of the Con Dar when Richard died. For the same reason that your tears formed a new Stone. Because there is no magic in all the world more powerful than the love you and Richard have for each other.

Chapter 1

It had been 3 days since the rift was sealed and Richard and Kahlan, along with Zedd and Cara were on their way to safely return the Mother Confessor to her rightful place in Aydindril. They made camp in a lush forest surrounded by trees and filled with life that they never wanted to leave; it felt like it was all a dream. Richard awoke to find his love snuggled up in his arms and he had to wonder if this really was a dream, but reminded himself that it was not. The sun was just beginning to rise and Richard could see the rays peeking through the openings of the trees that surrounded them. And then a realization that they were now finally able to express their love without fear, for their love was stronger than any magic finally sunk in. He didn't know how long he just laid there soaking in the sight of his beautiful confessor, but then her eyes drifted open and he seemed to lose himself in a sea of blue. Kahlan reached up to run her hands through his hair but caught sight of something sparkle in the sunlight around her finger and when she looked into Richard's eyes she saw nothing but love. "Will you marry me, Kahlan Amnell?" For a moment the world stopped, and a tear escaped her eye. Since she was a little girl Kahlan was taught that love was impossible, but they had never met her seeker before, "Yes, Richard Cypher- I will marry you." Filled with a joy that he never thought possible, he grabbed her and kissed her with more passion than he ever allowed himself, knowing that there was nothing to fear. "You are a rare person, Richard Cypher," said a smiling Kahlan. The moment seemed to end too soon, as it seemed Zedd and Cara were also awaking from their sleep. "I can't wait to finally show you how much I love you, Kahlan." "What's stopping you," she asked in a seductive voice that almost had Richard wanting to forget that they were not alone and just make love to her right then, but he replied that "We have a long journey ahead of us and I'm sure Zedd would love to get some food from the nearby inn, and besides I want to marry you first" and with a kiss he stood up and extended his arm so that she could get up as well. With that the four of them continued on their journey.

It took them 4 more nights, but they finally reached Aydindril, and Kahlan couldn't have been more excited. She would finally be able to see her sister- Dennee again and in a few days time become Mrs. Richard Cypher. As they were reaching the staircase that would lead them to the palace, a woman came rushing down towards them and when she finally reached them she immediately pulled Kahlan into a hug. "Thank the spirits your safe sister", ecstatic at seeing her sister again after such a long separation Dennee just couldn't contain her excitement. "It is so good to see you again Dennee. I've missed you so much and I've big news to tell you", said a smiling Kahlan. Thoughts ran rampant through her sisters head and she just had to ask, "Are you with child?" laughing, Kahlan responded that they were not with child…yet. "Richard wishes to wed me first before we start trying to bring a new life into the world". Zedd interrupted and stated that as soon as they were wed he was hoping for a lot of grandchildren to spoil very soon. "Well I guess we should get married soon then, how about in 3 days?" "3 days, I guess I need to start planning. Dennee, Cara- would you like to be my maids of honor?" Cara looked shocked at being asked that question, but also felt honored that Kahlan would want her present at her side for the wedding, as a friend. She was still struggling with the fact they were friends when her Mord'sith training had taught her that the Mother Confessor could never befriend anybody, but Kahlan Amnell had become her best friend and so she proudly stated that she would be happy to be her bridesmaid. "Well, we have a lot of planning to do. We will see you gentlemen later at dinner." The three ladies rushed up the stairs to start the planning of Kahlan and Richards' wedding.
