Chap. 1: Prelude Crescendo

"Tap, tap, tap" It was the sound of a long wooden staff hitting the firm beige dirt in the rhythmically lazy walking style of its owner.  Both staff and owner walked through the forest path in an un-humanly possible silence, save the chorus of the owner's thoughts as he walked to the kingdom of Seyruun (real spelling!!).  A high royal marriage was to be held and he was to be the priest!  "Yare, yare, how does the time go…" he thought.  "Seven years after the entire group's last full assembly together and six-and-a-half since my apprenticeship to Xellos-sama."  He looked at the sun through closed eyes to tell what time it was.  It was a nice warm post-spring day with a cool breeze wafting by and not a trace of unpleasant humidity in the air.  The sun was shining in the pale blue sky directly overhead with only a few small, white, wispy clouds lazing by.  It was almost noon.  He almost regretted being the priest at the wedding.  He would have taken a nice long nap or roamed around looking for what he called "fun" on a day like this.  But the wedding would be one for the history books, and he was determined to be a part of it.  He chuckled.  "So much for the scenic route…" he whispered to himself.  He raised his long black staff so that the light blue sphere jewel that sat on its top seemingly glowed in the noonday sunlight.  He chuckled again as he thought of the soon-to-be famous marriage of a chimera and the Holy White Magic capital's own crown princess with a guest list of Lina Inverse, the last golden dragon known as Filia, Xellos (the mazoku eliminator of the golden dragons), and many more famous names.  Even him, a mazoku, as the priest.  Rune Metallium smiled one last time as he transported himself to the royal gates of Seyruun.
