A young girl with sparkling sea-green eyes and pale blonde hair began to walk up the aisle. She fingered the velvety petals while looking back to make sure her Queen was indeed following. As soon as she is sure of her following, she giggled lightly and began skipping. She smiles at the audience as she tosses the soft lilies over them.
When she reaches the flower strewn bridge, she turns once more to make sure Queen Serenity was behind her.
And she was. Her gentle hand stroked the soft blonde hair of the sweet flowergirl, and glided lovingly to Prince Sol. Her Prince.
Her eyes meet his. His meet her. Both sparkle with a new-found radiance.
The silver symbol of the Moon glimmers on her forehead, and almost in response the gold symbol of the Sun on his own forehead glows.
Their hands lock together.
* Of course it was a glorious, wonderful wedding. And when they kissed as man and wife, and the kingdoms of the Sun and of the Moon were united by Holy Matrimony, a glow of the kind that had never been seen before engulfed even areas outside the areas usually touched by the Moon's light. Not one person went untouched.
Diseases were cured; tears were turned to laughter; even dead flowers bloomed; all darkness was destroyed by a pure, clear, white light.
And 10 months went by filled with happiness.*
The pale haired flowergirl from their wedding ran through the halls of the Palace, this time with six other young girls running beside her. She was cloaked in a pale yellow dress and two bright orange jewels sat on her forehead and neck. A large white cat strolled calmly near her feet.
Three other young girls gripped tightly on her hands and swung their arms in unison.
One had extremely long raven-black hair and wore a strappy pale pink dress with deep red jewels on her forehead and neck. Even at her young age she seemed to possess exotic beauty and unheard-of wisdom. Two black crows hovered behind her.
One had thick brown hair pulled back into a high ponytail with a green ribbon. She seemed to tower over all of the others in height and strength, but noone was bugged by that or scared by her since they all knew she was gentle. She wore a long pale green gown, and her jewels were pink. A small brown fuzzy owl perched asleep on her shoulder.
One of them had very short deep blue hair and even deeper blue eyes. She wore a short pale blue dress and her jewels were also blue. She cradled in her arms a soft brown puppy.
Behind the group of little, giggling girls, three more girls strode. But these girls were older, darker, and seemed to keep to themselves.
. Two of them walked very close to one another, one with a teal-blue gown and the other with a teal-green gown. The one in a teal-blue gown had short boyish blonde hair and a muscular build, while the one in teal-green had long wavy green hair and a very feminine body. Both wore matching gold hoops in their ears.
And in the very back of them all was one girl. It was hard to be sure of her age, maybe somewhere around fifteen. But her eyes and the way she held herself radiated wisdom far beyond that age. Her hair was dark green, almost black, and done up in a simple bun, her dress was very simple and all black, and she wore no jewels at all. However, she did carry several ornate keys on a chain around her waist. What looked like the largest key of all was held in her right hand and studded in blood-red garnets and ashen opals.
Despite their many differences, they each quickly made their way to Queen Serenity and King Sol's chamber, where a bigger event than even the wedding was currently under way!
"What's going on Mama?"
"Keep listening and you'll find out.
