Life of a Dancer Chapter Forty Nine

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join these two souls forever." the priestess said to the gathered Valkyries

"If anyone has a reason why these two souls should not be joined, speak now, or Axia will hurt you later." she added in jest.

'As of course the custom, She is my chosen, and there are things that need to be discussed.' Axis stated as her booming voice echoed in the small gathering.

'Normally I would not publically ask these questions, but as you are about to become the head of the Valkyries, as Aldo was before you, you need not only my approval, but of your subjects as well. Are you ready?' Axis said and without warning encased Kiniro within a safety wall.

'How would you feel if I stripped you of your immortality right now. Knowing that instead of a lifetime with Axia, you would have only a handful of years.' Axis asked of him

"I would love her as if I did have that lifetime with her. Every day with her is a miracle in itself, and I would never give that up. Even if I knew I would die tomorrow." Kiniro said fiercely.

'Axia, how in the world did you manage to find such an honorable man twice in your lifetime?' Axis said as she transcended him to Minstral. Gone were the loose garbs, but in its place was a different version of a minstral. Tight pants, flowing shirt, and his favourite thing in the entire world, his very long and flowing cape.

"My god..." Kiniro said speechless.

'You are welcome chosen Viking. Isn't this what you had been dreaming of looking like? Axia always wanted wings, so that is why I gave her wings when I transcended her. Aldo wasn't fussy, hence why he didn't get any deviations. What he wanted was the ability to protect his children. Hence why I gave him such powerful weapons. You may be familiar with them' Axis said as she faded to allow the remaining proceedings to occur. Kini was in shock as to what she had just said as finally, things were beginning to make sense to him. Ever since he was a child, he had been granted very powerful weapons, and there was always someone watching him. He never understood why, and now it was all starting to make sense to him.

"May I have the rings?" she said as Kiniro and Axia produced identical rings with different birthstones on them

"I understand that both of you have prepared a statement of love to each other before these witnesses. Please speak now." she said

"I love you Axia, with all of my heart and soul. I love your laughter and your tears. I love your humour and I love your temper." Kiniro began. He then placed his hand on Axia's stomach. "And I love our child. And I will love all our children. I will be a good father to them and a good husband to you." he finished as Axia had tears down her face and he placed her ring on her finger

"And I love you too Kini. Every day without you hurts inside. Every day with you makes my heart swell. I love your possessiveness and your temper. I love everything about you, and I never want to be without you." Axia said as Kiniro started to cry as well as she placed his ring on his finger

"With these rings, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride my lord." the priestess said

Kiniro leaned down and very gently kissed her. At that everyone started crying and laughing as the party began.

Hours later as darkness had already fallen, and many of the Valkyrie Clan had left, Kiniro took his new bride towards the room that had been decorated for their honeymoon. As he carried her over the threashold of the room they found the room full of rose petals and a sumtious dinner. Placing her down onto one of the chairs the ate the meal slowly, savouring the taste and watching each other in stark arousal.

As they finished the last bite, Axia stood up and began to take off the volumous dress that had been made for her. "Let me help you with that Querida" Kiniro said as he stood up and helped her with the buttons down the back of the dress. As he exposed each button, he gently kissed her back, until all the buttons were undone, and Axia was breathing very heavily.

Moving around to her front, he could see the peaks of her breasts puckered and full. Taking one of them into his mouth, Axia moaned out loud. Tasting his son's milk pouring out from her nipples, he stopped and came back up and deeply kissed her. Axia then struggled to get the rest of the dress off of her, and against her neck, he smiled.

"Do you want something Querida?" he said lazily

"I want my husband." she said possessively as she began to remove his clothing.

As she succeeded in getting him undressed, he held her close as he whispered "And I want my wife" and with that picked her up and carried her to the marriage bed.
