Hitomi was stairing at the gift from Token a country beside

~~~~~@ @~~~~~
On a raised platform newly built in the formost square of
the Capital city of Fanila, the wedding took place. The air
was filled with exitment, almost like carnaval time.
Children ran through the crowd with bightly colored
streamers and noblity from the surounding Contries sat in
shaded boxed seats away from the noise of the crowd.
Hitomi stood in her lite voilet kamona withMerle and
Millerna beside her as Royal witnesses of the occasin. Van
stood with the anceint scrib on one side of him and a wise
priest on the other.
Hitomi approached the priest with shallow breath to begen
the ritual. Van came to stand so that the priest was
between them. They rasied their hands so that thier palms
and fingers were touching.
The priest took teir other hands so that they formed a
circle. The scrib wrote everything down on a scrowl opened
infront of him.
The priest spook." The circle of Lofe is now unbroken.
Life, Love and Family. Remeber that these are the most
important. Now, Lady Hitomi, do you pledge by blood
covanent to never leave this land, to always serve your
husband and your people. To forever do your best to uphold
peace in the eyes of the Gods for as long as your life
force is in your body?" His wise old eyes looked straight
into her soul. He saw how sincere she was, how she had
truly made this world her home.
"I do swear by blood covanent to uphold these things, or
may the Gods have mercey on my soul." Hitomi's voice was
steady as she looked at Van and gave her vow. A small boy
brought the ceramonal dager. It's hilt was encrusted with
rubys and diamonds. The blade was etvhed with the crest of
the Royal House of Fanel. The priest picked it up from off
it's velvet pillow. He put it to his lips in a holy kiss,
then he reashed for Hitomi's hand and slit her thumb. Red
blood driped from the wond as Hitomi turned and pressed her
thumb to the scroll. Then she turned back to rejoin her
hands with the priest and Van. Her blood driped down the
side of Van's palm. The priest spoke to Van.
"King Fanel, do you pledge by blood covanent to protect
your Queen as long as you have breath. To always deal
honorbly with her. To put her above your kingdom and before
every other thing as long as your life force flows through
your veins?" The anceint priest truned to his king,
awaiting his reply.
"I do swear by blood covanebt and the Gods to hold up these
things as thruth or may Escaflowne and the Gods have mercey
on my soul." The priest put the dager to Van's thumb and
Van in turn placed it to the parchment. The priest then
tool both of their thumbs and pressed them together over
the scroll. One dark red drop fell in between the bloody
prints. Holding up thier hands high, the priest declared.
"I pronounce in the sight of these Royal wintesses and in
the sight of the people of Fanlia that these two have
entered into the blood covanent of Husband and Wife. I give
you your new Queen!!" A shout rang up from the people oa
Fanlia, the likes of which had never been heard. Merle and
Millerna had tears in thier eyes as Van picked up Hitomi
and spun her around. The priest and the scrib bound and
sealed the scroll to be out with all the other royal
documents. Yes, this was a happy day in Gaea, and as the
sun set and the Mysitc Moon rose high above. the
celibrating crowd, everybody saw that it was shining
brighter than before.
