A tune started up, and the procession started. After the flower girl and the BridesMaids, came the Bride, and her Maid of Honor. Unlike in mortal weddings, the Maid of Honor was escortin the Bride down the aisle.
The Bride carried a bouquet of pale blue roses and a few other assorted flowers. Her dark brown hair curled into waves, a veil covering her face, concealing the grin she coudn't erase.
Her dress was breathtaking. She wore a silver corset, tied with pale blue ribbons. There were no sleeves and it sparkled and glowed like the moon. The skirt was made of a silvery material like liquid metal in the form of a long flowing skirt. Her veil reached to mid arm, and you could see the goosebumps on her arms.
The Maid of Honor was the woman from before. He blond hair was stalk straight, her dress was now pale periwinkle blue, sort of matching with the rest of the wedding. Skash was barely breathing. It was so beautiful.

OOC: At the end of book two, why not an epic fight at the scene of their wedding? Eh, i think it's a pretty good idea. You remember that idea with the weeks... for the actual wedding scene, why not before every saturday, another little piece of the wedding his revealed. Here's another part...
IC: The sky was a calming gray, a slight breeze wafted the ocean's scent towards the spectators as they chattered gayly , waiting for the event to begin. A woman wearing a dark violet dress walked up to a podium, her eyes matching her dress with a scary accuracy.
"Welcome! If you would please sit down the festivities will begin shortly. Thank you!" She said stepping off the podium. She walked along a path leading beyond a pale tan sand dune, where they were getting ready. The scene was beautiful, the weather was perfect, they couldn't have picked a better day.
Skash's head turned rapidly, there was so much to look at, so much to take in. And she couldn't take it in fast enough. The white and yellow roses, the sandy beaches, the waves crashing and rolling on the beach. It was so beautiful.
Music started, at first a single violin played a soothing melody, intertwining itself within the complicated notes the piano started to play, telling a similar but different tune. Another violin, and a cello. It sped up and slowed down, repeating tunes like a round. In the mortal realm it was widely known as Canon in D, but here it was called The Hearts.
A few men stepped up on a stage that had been magicked there, and stood in a line. The one in front stood farther away from the others. He was smiling, no grinning ear to ear. The waves started getting fiercer and fiercer, as the tide started to come in.
Some muttered that it was rude of them to hold it so close to the water, but Skash just chuckled, according to physics and rules of water, it was supposed to be low tide

I like it. It's very descriptive. You just have a few awkward sentences here and there, but otherwise it's really good. Nice job!
And I think the idea of the epic fight scene would be really cool as long as we can get it as close to perfect as possible. And the revealing the wedding bit by bit is cool too. We can make this entire book SO over dramatic, it's sickening.

I Know! but it'll be fun... i love making people angry because they're confused... it's fun... Ok... here's an idea for the epic battle...
IC: Everything was silver and pale blue, and emotions were sky rocketing as the Bride walked down the aisle. As everyone watched the bride, Skash turned around and looked at the Groom. His eyes shown with a feeling one only feels at events like today's; there was a fear that yelled in the back of his mind, but the rest was covered in happiness.
Skash almost laughed at him, his expression kept changing. He couldn't decided between happiness, or fright at what he was about to do. The wind blew more fiercly than before and the Maid of Honor flashed a glare at the clouds. But it wasn't the clouds.
A cackling laugh echoed over the beach wedding, and out over the ocean. Smoke began to rise from a spot on the aisle, and Daumich appeared.
"Hello, Anne. I was hoping to wish you all farewell at your funeral. I may be a bit too early!" He reached forward, a ball of blue flames bursting from the palm of his hand.
Serayna and Anne dodged, each coming up with a plan of their own as the ball flew over their heads. Serayna stood up, taking the earth with her. Daumich flew into the air, firing fire shots at them as he came down.
Anne started rambling off in Transylvanian conjuring up a spell to use against Daumich. Skash watched in awe as her aunt battled it off, with Anne by her side. Skash wanted to help and knew the way to do it.
Serayna felt them on the ground, rushing towards the wedding. She sent her mind out and found that Skash was behind it. Feeling pride swell up in her, she glanced at Anne, she still couldn't hear it. Not yet anyway.
Anne, Skash is smart. She's sending the animals to help Serayna chuckled as Daumich was pushed away by a water blast.
I haven't had this much fun since... Aeilon was chasing us Anne laughed, gathering up different Dark Magic spells. She laughed maniacly as she let it all rip.
Daumich crashed to the ground, and his next move felt like a dream. He started speaking in Tongues. Spells just rolling through his lips. Anne wracked her brain for a defensive spell but couldn't find any. The animals had stopped attacking, falling back to catch their breath. Skash stared at Daumich her mouth agape.
Serayna, Anne, what is he doing? Skash asked. Serayna shrugged. She didn't know this language. And she wasn't good with spells. And she didn't know this magic.
As he let go, Serayna heard nothing but a crushing silence, shrapnel flew everywhere, people screamed, but she couldn't hear. It felt like something out of a movie. She watched Daumich destroy this wedding she had put together. She watched him, but she couldn't do anything to stop him.
You can't, or you don't want to? Think about it Rayna, you've always been second. Ever since James appeared, she's cared less and less. It's the middle child syndrome. You're loved, but only when the new kid's not around. Do you want to stop him, or do you want him to succeed? Selena's voice rang in Serayna's head. Serayna shook her head, it couldn't be. Selena was dead.
Of course I'm dead! But that doesn't mean i'm not still here. We are one. You, me, Phoenix, Kylo, Tala, Cadmus... we have always been one person. Never anything else. Through centuries we have ruled over this body, and we always will.
Serayna didn't know what to do. She didn't want to trust Selena, and she didn't want to listen to her. But what if she was right? What could Serayna do? What could she do, but watch as this wedding was destroyed.
There is an alternate way...

I think Daumich sounds good. They're both pretty cool names but that's my favorite.

OOC: Sounds good to me.
IC: Serayna floated away into the white space that surrounded her. She floated beyond her imagination, yet lingered within the confines of her mind. Here, the meeting of the millennium took place.
Serayna opened her eyes to find herself once again sitting in the throne-like chair at the end of the excessively long table. She never did understand why stretched all the way down the long, seemingly endless hallway when they only ever had six people using it (especially considering it was only used once every few thousand years). In two chairs to her left, sat Tala and Cadmus. To the right of the table: Kylo, Phoenix, and Selena. The two sides were arguing noisily and Serayna couldn't know how much more noise from them she could handle. She hit the table with a small wooden hammer and shouted, "All right! That's enough! Come on now! Everyone just be quiet! Would you pl-- SHUT UP!" The room fell silent. Selena, the braver of the 5 below Serayna, was the first to speak up. "Well look who's talking now. If it isn't Judge Rayna of Magician's Palace. Oh yeah, I'm horrified. What? Are you going to beat me over the head with that minuscule hammer? Puh-lease, girlfriend." She finished of her sentence with a roll of the eyes and a 'talk to the hand' motion, only to pass out and be knocked to the floor when Rayna actually did hit her with that so called 'minuscule' hammer. The others at the table began to laugh, and Rayna only had to give a quick and subtle cough to silence them. Everyone gave her their undivided attention as she spoke. "I'm sure you're all wondering why we have met her today. Well, I'm going to get to all that in good time. But first, we need to take a vote on one of the more important matters of this meeting." She looked around the table, and everyone smirked, almost simultaneously. They already knew what she was going to say. Looking at Selena, but speaking to the others, she said, "What embarrassing-for-her, hilarious-for-us thing do we do to the girl who fell asleep first at the slumber party?"

OOC: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO! MY GOD>>> that is brilliant!!!!!!!!!! Alright... let's see....(Evil grin and laugh included)
IC: After carefully dipping her fingers in a glass of warm water, and slicking the floor with maple syrup, they had quietly and inconspicuously drawn African mating marks on her face with sharpie, and gave her a very large and painful tattoo. Snickering behind hands, they quickly took pictures of her and posted them on their myspaces to show how great a time they were having. And for the final touch they called Anthony, Selena's High School nemesis who had a huge crush on her to be stalk naked next to her when she woke up.
"Alright, this meeting is adjourned. The stand would like to recognize Anthony, the fabulous Selena's latest husband. No Anthony you're not the first." Serayna said glancing at her... other state of mind? Yes, i guess they could be called that...
"Well right now there is a battle going on outside of these walls we call our home, and we can't let it destroy the democracy that we've built our entire world upon. Our politics have worked wonderfully the past 40 centuries or so; deciding and carefully voting on our choices and letting the popular demand have a say, and then making a split decision the second it matters. These are the foundations of our very life source, and i just don't think it's fair to stop that right now. But this is a hard decision to make." Serayna stated clearly and to the point. Nodding to Kylo, who was the Great Debater, she leaned back in her chair to relax.
"We have planned this wedding and done all that we can for her. And she has risked her life to save ours. In every lifetime we have seen she was always our best friend. Anne has always been there. Forever. And she always will. No matter how much she hates us, when it matters, we all know she would be there for us." Kylo said sitting down. Serayna nodded at Kylo, respecting the words she had used. Then she nodded at Cadmus whose philosophical and educational views would be the rebuttle.
"Sure she's always been there, but what about those times... you remember we all do, when you got in a fight? They were terrible and had a lasting effect on your view of each other. On our view of each other. She has made you call upon us more times than any of us combined this lifetime. I'm not saying you should just stand there and watch her die, but i'm not saying you should save her life. How many times truly have you gotten her out of loads of crap? The ones you erased from her memory and the ones you didn't? Really Serayna whose getting the better deal out of this relationship? You or her?" Cadmus finished. The others looked around, Cadmus was right.
Serayna looked around at the table and thought, This council is supposed to help me make decisions... but they both bring a good subtle argument to the table. And they both are right. I've always been there for Anne and she has been there for me. But have i been there too often? When she comes when she feels like it?
"Moving onto the next topic. Our next life, it needs a name, a face, a personality. Any suggestions?"Serayna asked without another word on the subject of the war.
"How about a brunette with pale skin, good figure, sportsy, and loves animals. Thats her power. Yvonne." Phoenix suggested.
"I like it, but not Yvonne. Uh, Delaney?" Kylo threw out. Phoenix glanced at Serayna. It was actually her decision. She just wanted help because suggestions were better than nothing at all.
"Alright, we have sportsy brunette, pale skin, with a good figure who loves Animals. How about Skash. Or Fix?" Tala said. She glanced at Serayna.
"Eh, Skash wouldn't be able to hold you guys, anyway, she has black hair tan skin, and isn't even related to me. How about... Artemis. Wait why does it have to be a girl?" Cadmus said mysteriously.
"Because that is Tradition! And nothing can break Tradition! It has been four thousand years, you Cadmus should know that, above all." A voice boomed. Cadmus bowed her head and motioned that her "sisters" follow her lead.
"Grandmother... I'm sorry." Cadmus said in a hushed tone.
"Well are you going to introduce me to my... Great Grandchildren of many years?" Grandmother asked. Cadmus nodded.
"Grandmother, this is my granddaughter Arkyloa, or Kylo. And her granddaughter Tala." She said pointing to the two.
"This is Tala's great grand daughter Selena, and Selena's daughter Phoenix."
"And then Phoenix's granddaughter Serayna, who is our current life source." Cadmus finished, she dared not look at Grandmother.
"This is my Grandmother, who is widely known as Mother Earth." Cadmus said, staring at the floor.
"Generations are missing. Where are the others?" Mother Earth asked.
"There are no others. The gift to carry so many is scarce nowadays. People think it a curse to have it, and those who do, never give it a chance." Cadmus whispered.
"I expected so much out of you." Mother Earth muttered. "What is the topic of your council today girls... and why is my great great great great great great great granddaughter lying on the floor?" Mother Earth asked glaring at Serayna.
"She was disrupting the flow of the Council. Mother Earth, why is it that you join with us today? You have never attended anything. Not the births of the chosen ones, or the fallings of those who were once chosen." Serayna asked. Mother Earth smiled.
"They are the same celebration, and i don't take part in them because i had seventeen daughters. All had this gift. I have visited and stayed with the other sixteen Bloodlines, and the other day my daughter reminded me of Crysalia, the mother of Cadmus here. Where did i go wrong, Crysalia was always the one i thought was gonna have the best and strongest blood line." Mother Earth reminisced.
"Mother Earth, what are you talking about?" Phoenix asked, her brow furrowed heavily.
"I was told by the Goddess Delacia that any daughters i bore, would have this gift. And she was right all seventeen daughters had it. When a Bloodline is made, like this one, every female within it, is subjected into it. Meaning that once they die, they become the current life sources Council. Every female born to the blood line. Starting with my daughters of course. The other blood lines have lived successfully and they have a large council for their life source. All the chairs are used up at the table, and yet some stand because there is no room for them. Unlike here. Where there is space left to care for an entire third world country." Mother Earth said scathingly.
That was, unfortunately, the que for Selena to awaken. She rubbed her drowsy eyes, flashed a homicidal glare at Serayna, and then looked at Mother Earth.
"HEY! Homey G! My home dawg! Slide me some skin..." Selena shouted. Mother Earth didn't even twitch.
"Hey, dudes what's with the stiff?" Selena asked pointing her thumb at Mother Earth.
"Selena, meet Mother Earth. One of the Ancestors." Cadmus said coldly. Selena had picked up a very sharp sword and was twirling it between her fingers, but when this was said, she dropped it.
Oh crap... Was all that rang through the blood lines minds, as they saw the look on Mother Earth's face.

She was Outraged. Never in all of her hundreds of thousands of millions of years had she come across a council so undeserving, so irresponsible, so devastatingly provocative, as this one, "Treat me with such disrespect, will you? 'HOME DAWG'?!? 'SLIDE YOU SOME SKIN?!?!?! HOW'S ABOUT I CALL UPON MY 'HOME DAWG' CERBERUS TO 'SLIDE YOU SOME SKIN' RIGHT OFF YOUR UNGRATEFUL BODY, YOU BUMBLING IDIOT!?!?" She spat in fury. Mother Earth was now towering over Selena, a flame blowing to life in each of her fists, and her nostrils flaring. Mother Earth's face was a sickly red color and beads of sweat were accumulating on her brow and above her upper lip. "WELL?!?" She barked again at Selena (she was worse than "The Trunchible" from the movie "Matilda" when she got angry). She turned to the others at the table, "Well, well, well. Looks like we've come to a negotiation point- Which, in other words means: MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, YOU LITTLE TWERPS!!!" She lashed out at Kylo and barely missed the end of her nose. They all turned pale white and felt the breath sweep out of them in one slick escape. Now, Mother Earth, after shoving Selena into a chair with the others, was ready to negotiate with (or threaten- call it what you will) the women. She began, "Never in all my years have I ever been so disappointed in one of my own blood-line councils--never. So, considering that minuscule fact, I'm going to make this very clear so as not to jumble your puny, puny, puny little brains. You have one month, no more- possibly less, to get yourselves into shape and start acting as a real council should. --Or you're off the docks forever, Swan Boats!" Mother Earth smacked the table with her huge fist to add emphasis to this last sentence and then added, "Do I make myself perfectly more than crystal-clear?" Everyone at the table looked to one another in fear and embarrassment. Simultaneously, they looked back to Mother Earth and nodded once, each not daring to breathe. Mother Earth took one last, disgusted look, making eye contact with each and every one of them, and then swept herself away in a cloud of mist. The women sat in silence for at least 10 minutes before regrouping for the council meeting.

"Alright... then i guess we should um... start with the deciding of the next council member." Serayna was the first to speak.
"Yes, i believe we shall." Kylo muttered in agreement, the others just nodded their heads too shocked to talk. All except Selena.
"Can Mother Earth really take away our rights to council? We are one, and we are inside Serayna's head, does she really have that power?" Selena, everyone looked around the question burning their minds.
"Well, the Goddess Delacia is another name for Diana which is Artemis. We could summon Artemis and question her upon the power Mother Earth has." Cadmus said, riffling through her spell book. Cadmus gasped and pointed to the page. Tala swung around and looked at the picture... and screamed.
"What is this ruckus?" Serayna said coming over to stand behind Cadmus. She looked at the page with confusion at first then realization. And slowly a plan formed in front of the council.
"It's a risk we have to take. And there's no one better to do it than you." Kylo prompted.
"You are the only one skilled enough to do it. Please!" Serayna urged.
"What is it i'll be doing, exactly?"
"You must visit one of his dreams, and tell him of his destiny. He will become what it says he's to become. He will find his destiny and will take us with him." Cadmus explained from the seat she sat in.
"Mother Earth said we have 24 hours."
"Well, in the council mind, 24 hours is an entire year in normal time." Serayna said quickly.
"But what if it doesn't work... How will we know if it's working?"
"I will know first hand... if its working... Don't worry, you'll do fine." Serayna muttered...
May the spirits be by your side, sister... May they walk beside you As you journey to strange lands And with destiny join hands
Our hearts and best wishes Go with you sister We wish you good luck on your journey, Good luck and well wishes, Selena...
