OctoberMoon- I'm the second one to use that coupling actually and I made it so that Celsius was a human and Fenrir was the summon spirit, and Efreet just happened to be named after the summon spirit and acts just like him.
MoonCannon-thanks four your support, even though some of my work is a bit crappy
everyone else-thanks
A/n I'm not doing the traditional wedding we're all used to, since this is the Church of Martel, so it's different.
The Wedding
Man, I can't help but be a little jealous at Lloyd, what takes me forever to do, he sneaks in right under my nose and takes my dearest little hunny away. Well, I can't say that they don't look bad together though. But, I can't say I've been deserving it for the longest time now, I understand clearly how and why Sheena chose him over me. I suppose im the biggest jerk and idiot anyone has ever known, but hey. Anyways, I have to get ready for the wedding gotta change.
I remember when I first met Sheena, a shy little girl at the Sybek research institute. She was everything a guy like could ever want, killer body, at the time a submissive attitude, and she was so vulnerable. It was easy to court her and get her to go out with me, we never did anything of 'that' sort, but I'd be damned if we had. Anyways, I'm sure you heard the entire story from Sheena, so I'm not really going to go into it. So I'll talk about Chocolat.
I met Chocolate under the oddest conditions, after my meeting with the king, I went outside to thinking about what had happened in the last few days and I saw this brunette wondering around town both lost and amazed by the architecture in Meltokio, she almost instantly recognized me and ran up to me yelling at me. I mean yelling at me, this girl is louder and more aggressive then Sheena tenfold. But she was so damn cute! Well, I showed her around town, the shops, the rich district, the works. My other little hunnies were all jealous that this new girl was already so attached to me. But there was this strange sincerity in her eyes that made her different then the rest of the spoiled brats who chased me around wherever I went. Well, afterwards I decided to bid farewell to this new girl of mine, but things didn't go over as planned. She was almost literally attached to my arm, how could I resist her? So I let her stay over at my house, sleeping in the room next to mine. Chocolat, this arrogant, out-spoken, girl who I fell in love with. She reminds me of Celsius in ways, but not as cold.
The next few weeks were more of the same, we were almost always together, so much that a lot of my hunnies thought I had gotten married and had abandoned me. Heck, I even think Sheena and Presea even started to respect me more since it's been three weeks and I still have the same women, a record. But, I can't say I don't like Chocolat either, a strange thing to say, but she's perfect for a guy like me, attached and able to keep me out of trouble, putting asides she has a short fuse and likes to yell. Anyways, everyone seems to want me and her to get hitched, but I don't want it to be too soon. Ah, what am I talking about. This totally isn't like me! I'm supposed to be the great playboy Zelos Wilder! Back to the main topic since I'm done getting dressed.
Lloyd sure is a lucky guy for such a fine catch. Sheena is almost like the perfect house wife, cooking, sewing husbandry, and not to mention fighting. I don't think that Sheena could get angry at Lloyd even if she wanted too. Hell, last time I eavesdropped on Celsius and Sheena, I heard Celsius make note that Sheena was all over Lloyd more so then Colette. Damn that Lloyd, the three little hunnies that I like the most, either have a crush on, loves deeply, or is getting married to Lloyd. Man, that guy gets all the good chicks. The wedding is in a few hours, so I guess I should start heading down there.
Well, the first familiar face I saw was Celsius, and man did she look hot, white gown with a lace lining, her skirt not even reaching her knees and she wore a gold bracelet with a large sapphire on it. Normally, I'd make a move on her, but then I'd risk getting a broken arm or leg from Celsius, and a broken nose from my girl, Chocolat, who ran up beside me and grabbed my arm.
I looked at her nervously, "You know people might think we're a married couple or something, my dear little Chocolat." I said smoothly.
"Your point is?" She was as bad as Celsius with Efreet, but at least she didn't drag me around from place to place.
We continued to walk, Celsius ahead of me, and Chocolat on my right arm. The center of the city was defiantly a spectacle to behold, it's almost impossible to describe, white banners streaming from one building to another, a green carpet underneath the white wooden seating, the alter with a large Spiritua statue in the background, and behind all of that was the town's fountain, water freshly flowing into it, surrounding the monument dedicated to Lloyd and Sheena. I had to admit I was slightly jealous of it all, such a beautiful wedding for a perfect couple. Damn. I hate admitting defeat like this.
"Is this where the wedding of Lloyd Irving and Sheena Fujibayashi is to take place?" asked a deep, displaced voice from behind me.
"What are you? Stupid?" I exclaimed, slowly turning around. "Of course this is…By Martel…" My jaw fell open at the sight of who it was.
oOo
I sat down in my assigned seat, Chocolat on my left and Regal at my right, and that's the way we sat for about fifteen minutes before others came. I looked around as people began to noisily shuffle into their seats and the surrounding areas, some people going up onto the government buildings to watch. I saw everyone from Sylvarant here, everyone except for those from Mizuho. Well, no use worrying, it's about to start.
The music began to play, a soft piano started to play in the background, as this strange women began to walk up to the alter. Scattered whispers of disgust abound, but no one spoke out in disrespect. She was clad in green, everything in green, her hair was a soft lime, her eyes a forest, and her clothes emitted mana from it. This was no ordinary women. I saw her face before, she look so familiar. Apparently everyone else felt these vibes from her as well as the whispers died down into complete silence. A blue bird flew down from the roof of one of the buildings and landed on her shoulder, she touched it gentle as it began to chirp happily. She placed her staff next to the altar, where it somehow stood magically upright as she began to speak with her soft, delicate voice. I remembered who it was almost immediately.
"I am the goddess Mana." She sung with her beautiful voice echoing throughout the quiet city. No one dared to speak their curiosity getting the better of them. "…I shall proceed with the ceremony for these two heros." she looked to the back, where Sheena and Lloyd were standing quietly, as astounded as the rest of us were to have a goddess do the rites.
Sheena and Lloyd walked up the isle together, arm in arm. Sheena's eyes were closes as she let Lloyd guide her to in front of the altar. She was utterly beautiful, her purple-white gown that nearly glowed in the sunlight contoured to her body perfectly, her hair nearly tied back into a bun, and two glistening earrings dangled from her ears. Lloyd wore a white and black suit, with a white undershirt that was smiler to mine that I wore at the dinner party after we rescued the princess from the pope.
The goddess looked upon the two and smiled, holding her hand out and materializing a large book before her, "Fate has brung together these two. One a hero, the other a heroine. Their feelings for one another has been put through water and fire, brimstone and death, hatred and denial. The lily of Mizuho stands before me, and the hero of Iselia stands to her side. 'Sheena Fujibayashi and Lloyd Irving. Upon what vow do you form this eternal pact on?"
Sheena looked up at the goddess then turned her head to Lloyd, "This vow that I make, is for the peace of this new world that we form, and out love eternal."
Mana switched her focus from Sheena to Lloyd, "And you, Lloyd Irving, what pact shall you make?"
"For a world that we may all live in peacefully, a united world free of suffering and hatred." said Lloyd confidently. "And for Sheena, whom I shall be forever devoted to."
The goddess scanned the crown, as if looking for someone, "Are there any who reject this sacred bonding of these two?"
A man stood up, his long red hair nearly covered one eye, he stood tall and proud, "I do not feel the need to interject. But I wish to condone this marriage."
Lloyd look back and almost fainted, "…Kratos! Dad! You've come!" He must of felt the urge to run to him, but he stopped himself to avoid ruining the ceremony.
It was indeed Kratos, he had come from Derris-Kharlan to see his son. "My son. You have grown well these seventeen years. A fine swordsmen, a hero, and a gentlemen. Anna would be proud of you…my son."
It was as if another person stood next to him, I felt a strange sensation of warmth next to Kratos, I think it was Anna, the one who Kratos loved. He sat back down and the sensation died down.
"Sheena, you may tell Lloyd your true name." Smiled Mana, her eyes half closed.
Sheena bent over, and whispered in Lloyd's ear, I barely made out 'Lloyd, I am…" but the rest was blurred out from my hearing. She stood back upright and grinned.
"Lloyd, you may whisper to your bride."
I couldn't hear anything of what Lloyd said, but Sheena's smile radiated even more.
The goddess closed the book and took her staff in one hand, "This is more then just a bond between two beings, but an everlasting bond between the lands of Tethe'alla and Sylvarant. Long live Lloyd and Sheena of Mizuho." She held up the book with one hand, it read 'Symphonia'.
