Chapter 30: Royal Announcement

Soon sunset came upon the city -though some would say that it sure took its sweet time getting there- and all of the people of Fanelia gathered around by the Grand Balcony, where all important announcements and events now took place. The excitement in the air was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. They were only moments away from their king -Van Slanzar de Fanel- announcing whom his bride –and their future queen- was going to be.

The king had been married once before, which turned into a great tragedy. Not even through their thirteenth month of marriage did the young queen parish along with her inborn child. Many citizens believed that the gods did not approve of the union. That she wasn't the rightful queen. Many others just brush it off as 'bad luck' and that it could have happened to anyone. Some –those whom had seen and heard of stranger things- said that the late queen knew that she was not in the gods' favor and accepted her fate, out of love for the king.

That was about five years ago, and the citizens of Fanelia were excited to find out that they were soon going to have a new queen, especially after the roamer speculating that the lucky lady was none other then the Lady Hitomi of the Mystic Moon. Though there were many roamers as to why the Seeress had returned after visiting the other countries, the first –and most popular- was that she was indeed going to marry the King. Another was that she was staying because of another roamer of a new war starting and she couldn't just leave them. A third –which nearly everyone feared- was that she was only staying a few days to rest from the trip, and then planed to return to the once believed cursed place, the Mystic Moon.

A few minutes passed and nothing happened. A few more minutes passed and still nothing.

Then finally the four Generals walked out onto the balcony followed by the Captain of the Guard, and his wife and children. Then the king dressed in his royal attire stepped into view and up to the front of the balcony to where everyone could see him. Once he was assured that all could see him, he nodded to the top General indicating that she had permission to cast the spell that would enable him to be heard by even the deaf, with out him having to yell.

"My friends, fellow country men, visitors from neighboring countries, as you have undoubtedly heard I have good news… I have found a bride." To this statement the crowd erupted in a deafening cheer. Van waited for them to settle down before he continued. "I have no doubt that many roamers have started up on the question of whom this woman could be." He paused a bit, checking to make sure that everyone was listening. "She has traveled a long way and will be giving up a lot that she holds dear to her, so that she may be by my side. Many of you have heard of her actions during the Destiny War, and some have even met her." At this point many murmurs were stirring through the crowd, but stopped to hear what he had to say next. "She is none other than: Lady Hitomi Kanzaki, Seeress of the Mystic Moon, savoir of Gaea." He then turned so that his left hand stretched out to the double doors behind him which were then opened by Balu and Konn, to reveal Hitomi in a floor length, sliver, of the shoulder gown that took the breath out of every single citizen. For not only was the dress heavenly, catching the last bits of light cast off by the sun, but was also illuminated from behind by the lights from the castle. She walked over to him and took his offered hand.

Once the shock wore off, the crowd burst into a cheer that was actually louder then the first and lasted twice as long. Though eventually they did calm down, everyone could fell the tension be replaced by joy. Then to most people's surprise she addressed them. "Citizens of Fanelia, I am humbled by your reaction, and I wish to ask your blessing upon the wedding." The crowd was amazed that such a powerful figure would ask them such a question, and burst out with a cheer so loud that the two boys upon the balcony with their mother and father -in years to follow -believed with all their hearts, that they actually felt the balcony beneath their feet shake from the noise.

"Seeing as you approve, the wedding shall take place in two weeks time!" this Van had to yell to be heard over the noise. Then one person from the crowd began to cheer, "LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!" and within a matter of seconds the whole crowd picked up the chant. The chant lasted long after the point you would expect the people to be horse from all the yelling. It lasted until the king –on impulse- drew his queen-to-be closer to him and pulled her into a passionate kiss, for he could not remember a time when he was so proud of her. Then the crowd just cheered for they knew that those two truly were in love with each other.

They stayed like that for a while, how long was anybody's guess. The two slowly separated and took a moment or two to remember that there was still more to say, and so turned back to the crowd before them.

Seeing that there was still more that the King and Queen-to-be wished to share with them the crowd once again settled down. "I must regret that this long awaited news is not the only news that we whish to share with you." The King continued. "For during our brief stay in Freid we were attacked by a group identified as the Dragon Slayers." Shock ran through the crowd, as they all knew that it was a group by the same name that had destroyed their homes all those years ago. "It has been agreed upon that we and our allies shall prepare for war, but we shall wait to see if this group is an independent group just trying to stir things up, or if they are under the command of a nation." A small yawn escaped out of one of the young boys being held by his mother, which gave Van the signal to wrap it up. "Now, it's late and your young ones must be put to bed, and the days to come shall be full of events." Knowing that they were dismissed and that there was no more news, the citizens returned to their homes knowing that the king was right: there was going to be lots to do.
