Chapter two

Bracken and Kendra stayed up late that night planning their wedding with the family. They had decided it would be best if they were married before they started on their promise to Agad. Bracken was still unsure if this was what they should do, but Kendra was determined now and nothing could deter her when she had her sights set on something she wanted.

Kendra's parents were livid of course they thought she was too young and that they were being rushed into this, the Fairy Queen was relatively accepting, she understood Kendra's desire to be immortal as soon as possible. Of course everybody though they should not rush into this, wait and think it over, date longer, blah blah blah. Bracken was more afraid of Kendra changing her mind when they were already committed; he knew angering Agad would be a very bad thing.

Kendra knew she was acting tough and it seemed that everyone believed the façade, in truth she was actually terrified, not only of having sex with Bracken but having children, and she had no idea what she was doing. Plus there was most definitely know way she was going to ask him about it, that was a really personal question, and no matter how much she loved him, she was clueless about how to take their relationship to the next level.

When the sun rose the next morning it found Kendra sleeping with her head on Bracken's lap breathing softly. He played with a strand of her hair and thought about how beautiful she was, and how much he wanted her, he hoped that he could make her feel good when the time came, he had never actually had sex either but he had gone to third base a couple of times. They had decided on the wedding in three days, the fairies were already going crazy sprucing up the grounds and planting decorative shrubs. Invitations had gone out across the country. Everybody who was not planning the wedding was building Bracken and Kendra's mansion. It would be out in the center of the preserve and magically enhanced so that inside it was much larger than it appeared on the outside, and using magic they made it so that adding rooms to it was as easy as pie. They were assuming that the fairy queen would handle the guest list for the fairies and other creatures of light. This wedding was a huge deal, linking the fairy kingdom to humankind more firmly than ever before. Kendra had a dress fitting today at ten o'clock and Bracken had a tux fitting at the same time.

The three days leading up to the wedding seemed to fly by and Kendra felt butterflies whenever she though beyond the wedding, so she just did her best to focus on getting ready for the big day. The house was looking quite amazing; the fairy queen herself has set the duplication charm for expansions. Teams of fairies worked on it day and night, until finally it was finished. A tall stately manor that rose out over the trees, with a huge grassy field out front. The house was virtually impenetrable due to spells that hundreds of fairies had contributed to, and it was attached to the main house by a secret underground tunnel that could be used as an escape hatch as necessary. The house was well spaced so that a unicorn in horse farm could also fit comfortably move about the house or shower and take a bath.

The day after the house was completed; wedding day was bright and warm. Kendra stood on the verandah of her new house watching the forest, her mind churned as she thought about the wedding, fear, anticipation, nervousness, but most of all she felt overwhelming love towards Bracken. She knew that no matter what happened he would be there for her, and if she was not ready to give herself to him she knew he would understand and wait.

Bracken craned his neck looking through the bower of flowers hoping for a glimpse of Kendra. The Fairy Queen stood behind him, she was marrying them, his sisters were bridesmaids and Vanessa was the maid of honor, along with Kendra's mother. Seth was the best man, and Warren, Tanu, Trask, and Raxtus were groomsmen. It was a beautiful ceremony, and there were tears in Kendra's eyes when she appeared, Bracken gasped star struck, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as Kendra. Her skin was pale as ivory and faintly luminescent as if she was already a unicorn. Her dress was thick and heavy and showed off her curves and he found it rather provocative. Her thick brown hair was curled and hung in heavy waves down her back. When he met her eyes he could not help but smile at the joy he saw in them.

Their vows were simple and old as time, that had been repeated countless times, but he hopes they way they said them was a little different than everyone else, because of all they had accomplished and that their love would truly last for all time.

"I, Bracken, take you ,Kendra Sorenson, to my lawful wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part"

"I, Kendra Sorenson, take you, Bracken , to be my lawful wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part"

"You may kiss the bride" The fairy queen intoned

Bracken smiled and cradled Kendra's face in his hands before leaning down nearly a foot to reach her face, the kiss was sweet and with it they sealed a promise that would outlast the demon prison itself.

"I will love you forever" Bracken murmured

"And I will always love you" Kendra whispered

And together; "No matter what the next millennia may bring."
