Ok, this chapter contains a wedding, and seeing as I don't know how Tortallan weddings would work, or if there are any in the books, so either I'll be really vague or just make something up.

FanFictionFantom: Yay! Don't you just love the light fluffy stuff? But Yuki is creating a sense of DOOM. Mwahahaha! No wait, that's not cool. I gotta do something with her…

Jamie Lynn: I'm thrilled that you like it!

Catgirl80: By 'I still like it' does that mean that there's a chance that sometime in the future you might not like it? Haha just kidding… well, I'll try to make it good so you can keep liking it! Y'know, I'm just doing my part to make sure that there are enough KN's on this site!

Laurashrub: I'm sorry! I'm still not sure what your question was! I even looked through all of my reviews to see what question you asked. I found 2: I've never seen the original Phantom of the Opera, but I have the soundtrack. I think Michael Crawford is a better singer than Gerard Butler (which is to be expected, since GB only started singing when he got the part) but he's such a good actor it totally makes up for it. I loved the costumes and scenery in the movie, they were spectacular—OMG, I totally want Christine's gala dress! And being a violinist, I have to say that the orchestra was just amazing. As to 'A Friend In Need', it's probly over, unless I get some inspiration. I just don't know where to go from there… I really hope I answered your question so you can quit being mad at me! Haha… But yeah, I don't Kel to hurt Yuki or anything… ugh, not cool. Yuki just might have to die.

Attention: If anyone knows of any good KN stories, tell me in a review! I'm totally running out, and they're getting harder and harder to find! ::Sigh:: everyone's turning to the dark side and writing Kel/Dom stuff.

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or settings or anything. That's Tamora's stuff and stealing it would result in a lotta messy stuff and I just don't wanna go there.

Ok, finally, the story! Wow, I've used up a half-page already! Oh, I just noticed that there was a spelling mistake in chap. 2, I accidentally said 'Mabolle' instead of 'Masbolle'. Sorry!


The area where the wedding was to be held was simple, yet beautiful. Benches were brought out from the mess hall and set up in a large circle with a central aisle leading to the center. In the center was a cleared out area with a small, clear pool of water that Numair had summoned there. An elegantly carved wooden trellis interwoven with vines and flowers stood in an arch at one end of the pool. Flowers also framed the rest of the area, lilies, roses, irises, daisies; Kel couldn't name them all. She had no idea where they all came from, or who had created the lovely setting, but it was the perfect place for a wedding. She and Dom took a seat beside Yuki and Neal. Upon seeing her, Neal's face turned red and her pretended to examine an imaginary spot on his shoe. Still embarrassed about what had happened between them earlier that day, Kel steered Dom to Yuki's side and took a seat on the far side of Neal. Yuki and Dom both gave her slightly confused glances but didn't say anything. The rest of the camp steadily filed into the 'chapel', including many friends of Kel's. The entire third company was there, as well as Buri's company of the Queen's Riders. Daine, Numair, Alanna, George, their children, even the queen and king had managed to come.

Finally soft music began to play as Raoul and Buri walked down the aisle together, followed by a priest. They stopped under the trellis and stood facing each other, hand in hand. As they beamed happily at one another, the priest began the ceremony. Kel smiled watching them. Buri looked radiant in a gold gown, and Raoul dressed elegantly in a velvet tunic and silk shirt and hose of the Goldenlake colors. The couple was completely blissful, and their joy spread to everyone present. At the end of the ceremony, the priest instructed everyone to stand up. Then Raoul and Buri turned to the pool and looked into it.

"Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak and Buriam Tourakom, look into this water and see together your future as partners in life," the priest intoned.

They still clasped hands as they looked down to the clear water at their feet. To everyone but them, the water grew cloudy, but as the couple looked in, a wide range of emotions crossed their faces. There was happiness, sadness, tranquility, anger, worried, and even fear. When they finally looked up at each other, their eyes were glistening and their faces shone with love.

The priest spoke again. "Take these rings and present to each other as a symbol of your belonging to each other." With this, he presented two ornately engraved bands of gold. They glowed slightly as they were slipped onto the fingers of the two commanders, shrinking to fit exactly. Raoul and Buri then brought their lips together in a kiss as the congregation cheered. The priest only smiled serenely. "I now pronounce you wedded." With that, Raoul and Buri looked at each other with a grin and ran down the aisle together, out of the clearing.


Ahh… no KN fluff (unfortunately) ::sigh::…ah well, I had to get something up, though I'm sorry it's so short! I'd thought I was over my short chapter rut. Anyway...like I always say, please review!
