We went outside and I found out that there was another carriage waiting
with all our clothing and money. Shand, Nina, Savanna and I all sat in the
carriage that Shand and I came up with and my guards mounted their horses.
We were off to an inn to celebrate all night long.
When we arrived, a man with salt and pepper hair greeted us. He led us to the back of the inn, and sat us down. We ordered beer and stew and started to dance. Katata lifted me up on his shoulder, and Mutate lifted Shand on his. Katata was a big man, with dark skin, and Mutate had light skin, lighter than mine, and always liked to celebrate feast days by getting drunk.
We danced, drank, ate, and talked until dawn came around. Nina had fallen asleep along with others, and Savanna was helping all the people who got so drunk that they got sick. I asked to help, but she said that a bride shouldn't do any work. So I had nothing to do but continue to dance. Shand refused to dance anymore, and call me 'un loco chica' and sat down to rub his feet. I laughed at him and called him a wimp, but even Katata was too tired to dance so I gave up asking, and danced with myself.
Shand, after my two dances, picked me up, and carried me to the room upstairs. He plopped me down on the bed and collapsed next to me.
"I do not know how you do it. You have too much energy for your own good. I am soo damn tired that I can't even move. I think that I'm gonna sleep until tomorrow, and then we can start our honeymoon."
I laughed and took off my dress, and then with a lot of work, managed to get Shand's clothing off of him.
I crawled under the covers and looked at him. He slept like an angel, a beautiful angel that I loved. I tried to sleep, and managed some, but I woke up so often that I got out of bed and put some clothing on. I wanted to ride Astara, so I went down stairs and told the innkeeper that I was leaving. Bruce was wake, so I asked him to come with me. I liked Bruce, he was a nice man in his late thirties, and was like a father to me.
We rode out to a field with flowers blossoming; the tall grass went up to the stirrups. I picked a few flowers, and then by the position of the sun, knew that Shand must be up by then, and headed back up to the inn.
I was looking around, and then I saw a woman. She was dressed all in blue, with long black hair, and the whites skin that I have ever seen. She beckoned me, but I didn't go to her. I wanted to, but I had to get back to the inn. Bruce rode up to me and asked me why I stopped, and I told him about the woman, and he said that he never saw her.
I went back to the inn, and sure enough Shand was outside waiting for me. As soon as I rode up, he ran up to me, and took the reins.
