(King Mickey's P.O.V.) -In the middle of the wedding-

I exhaled sharply as I felt the bonds striking up a flame between myself and the castle, and I heard Phoebus ask in concern, "Your Majesty, are you all right? Is something wrong?". I took a deep breath, "The castle's reacting to something. A moment, please.", before closing my eyes, concentrating upon the bonds deeply as I vaguely heard my wife's voice whispering to the couple.

I followed the natural weapon shield bond of bright purple string, and realized that the shield over the castle has gotten stronger somehow, and I then followed the magical guardian bond to the castle and myself, seeing the vibrant blue string as the golem lion is becoming more sentiment than before, and I then turned my attention upon the shiny gold string of the ward against dark magic, realizing that it's far more powerful that even I cannot break it. I listened to the bonds, and I heard that Deep Magic was used in this incredible change as I sense that the land of Narnia is somehow reborn in the way of magic and loyalty.

Then I hear the guardian bond calling out that a known ally is approaching to the castle, and not a minute later, I felt the castle shield approving of the ally as the being came through, and I opened my eyes, realizing that the new person is coming down through the walls, the hallways, coming to the great hall, sensing excitement, happiness, peace.

I hear an exhale nearby, "A Great Spirit is coming here!", and I glance over to Lucy Pevensie, looking quite lovely with her copper brown pelt, golden spots, dark brown hair/tail tuft, complimenting well with her tan skin, bright blue eyes. It's quite incredible to see a deer x unicorn centaur.

Only she and her siblings including Peter are part of the unique herd. Lucy's father is a stag centaur (Cervitaur) while Lucy's mother is a unicorn centaur (Unitaur). Lucy has the ears, tail tuft, the pelt of a deer while the legs, the hooves are of a unicorn. To be modest, she's wearing a pale cream tunic under her healer robes.

She, my wife, and Healer Sweet is standing on Helga's side while Quasimodo, Clopin, and Djali is on Phoebus's side. My wife is looking quite beautiful in her simple green gown. Healer Sweet is wearing a formal blue tunic over black trousers. Quasi is wearing a dark green formal tunic over dark tan trousers while Clopin is wearing a formal tunic of fine copper brown over dark purple trousers. Of course, he isn't Clopin without his infamous hat. And Djali is looking quite spiffy, his fur clean and groomed.

I nod lightly, "You are to be blessed by the rare sight of a Great Spirit, my friends. Be humble and polite, please.", looking over to the front doors, seeing a distant glow as the newcomer came through the doors flawlessly, and I hear gasps from Phoebus and his friends as I hear Quasi call out, "E-Esmeralda?".

I blink at the name, hearing stories about her, and I took into the visage of the newcomer, clearly female with thick, long, raven black hair, medium green eyes, and dark skin, dressed in purples and gold, having large black wings and tail as well. Esmeralda brightly smiled, "Quasi!", running to hug Quasi. She's solid enough to touch yet see-through somewhat.

Quasi sobbed softly, "I really missed you, Esmeralda...I am so sorry...I wasn't fast enough to stop Frollo...", and Esmeralda leaned back, giving him a stern look, "Quasimodo, it wasn't your fault! You have searched for friendship, acceptance, and I was the first one to give you that in 20 years! And you know your mother loved you so much.".

Quasimodo exhaled slowly, "You..you met my mother?". Esmeralda smiled warmly, "I sure did. She's the kindest, bravest woman I have earned the honor to meet, and you were given a much more special name than that terrible name Frollo gave you.". Quasi gasped softly, "What was her name, and what did she call me by?".

Esmeralda chuckled softly, "Her name is Valerie, and she called you by the name of Pacome.". Clopin gasped quietly, "That means 'of strong nature'.". Quasi aka Pacome blinked in surprise, "She somehow saw something in me, didn't she?".

Esmeralda laughed lightly, "Never forget who you are, Quasi. Or should I say, Pacome?". He smiled sheepishly, "That'd be taking some time to get used to, but...thank you, Esmeralda...for everything.". Esmeralda nodded in understanding with a bright smile, and hugged him gently before a bleat called out to her, and Esmeralda looked over as Djali leaped into her arms.

Esmeralda hugged her beloved goat, "Oh, I missed you too, Djali! You're looking great. I've watched you headbutt those nasty Black Mountain soldiers, you're such a good boy!". Djali bleated happily with a beaming, smug smile. Clopin gave a laugh, "He sure is. Why, he often asked for help from our horses as well.". Djali nodded with a bleat, and Esmeralda kissed him on the snout, "You're clever, Djali. Don't ever give up, alright?". Djali nuzzled her back with a soft maa.

Djali was gently put down on the ground as Clopin went for a big hug, twirling her around, "Oh, Esme, I missed you, my daring cousin!". Esmeralda laughed happily, kissing him on the cheek, "You're looking good after some years of fighting and rescuing, you rascal!". Clopin grinned softly, "Mischievous as ever, Esme.", nudging her on the shoulder playfully.

Esmeralda giggled softly, and smirked as she took off Clopin's hat in a flash, ruffling Clopin's hair, causing Clopin to yelp out in indignation, "Not my hat nor my hair, Esmeralda!", and Esmeralda laughed heartily as she seemed to give the gold feather in the hat some extra life before she put it back on Clopin's head, "There you go, Clopin!".

She turned her attention to Phoebus and Helga, and she smiled warmly, "I am really happy for you, Phoebus. She's a keeper.", winking softly as she glanced at Helga, "And you must be the famous Helga who has brought life back to Phoebus.". Helga chuckled lightly, "Glad to hear your approval, ma'am. After all, this guy may be a lunkhead at times, but I love him.".

Esmeralda grinned softly at Phoebus's flabbergasted look, "Oh, I like her! Please call me Esme. I can manage to be here for a couple of hours, but it's quite fleeting. Have you taken the vows?". Helga nodded, "Just a few minutes before His Majesty noticed that you were coming.". Esmeralda glanced at me with a sheepish smile, "I apologize for interrupting, King Mickey, but I can't afford to miss the best part. Helga and Phoebus, can you wear these? I made them with a few friends.", revealing two crystal necklaces with gold etchings of a lion head on the crystals.

Phoebus and Helga blinked softly in surprise, and Helga smiled widely, "They look great! Thank you, Esme.", grabbing a necklace, carefully placing it over herself, resting upon the bodice of her gorgeous white gown as Phoebus grabbed his necklace, gingerly placing it over himself, resting upon his golden armor. Esmeralda grinned warmly, "Perfect fit! Okay, let's continue on! Your majesty, if you please.".

I smiled gratefully as she stepped back, bowing respectfully and standing next to Djali, and looked at the couple who was trading some whispered words before glancing at me with a inquiring look of excitement. I chuckled warmly, "Captain Phoebus of Sarip, do you take Helga Sinclair to be your wife, to take care of her through good and bad times, to love her and cherish her with all your heart, in life and death?".

Phoebus looked at Helga with so much love and admiration, "I do.", and I smiled bigger, looking at Helga, "Captain Helga Sinclair of Atlantis, do you take Captain Phoebus to be your husband, to take care of him through good and bad times, to love him and cherish him with all your heart, in life and death?". Helga smiled widely, looking at Phoebus with overflowing love and happiness, "I do.".

I nodded with a wide smile, "Then by the power of the Great Spirits, the Kings of the Past, Mount Olympus, the Evening Star, and vested in the Deep Magic, Aslan, and myself, I bid you in name of husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.", and I saw happy tears fall from Helga before Phoebus gently wiped them away with a thumb, and leaned in with Helga meeting him in earnest.

I was soon amazed and shocked by the effects of the ceremony kiss for their necklaces glowed brightly, and I can hear echoing roars as a golden-blue blast of magic enveloped over all of us from the necklaces themselves, feeling the love, passion, faith, strength, loyalty of the couple, so powerful that moments later after the magic settled and the kiss broke up, my bones and heart ached comfortably from it all.

I hear my beloved Minnie exhale in amazement and wonder, "That was almost as powerful as my and Mickey's wedding ceremony.", and I smile at the comment, catching her eye. She was right...Our love and magic from that day was quite powerful yet I don't care to mention it right now as I have found peace and happiness in bringing a dear friend and his soul mate to the next chapter of their lives. Indeed, it has become a beautiful sight to see.
