Thread: Rise of The Mercenary King (MasterOfWhispers and Fancy_Brat)

As the music had begun to play to signal the arrival of Hawk's wives, everyone in attendance had turned to face the doors in the back. Whether it was by coincidence or not, there were actually three large doors in the back which more than likely would have the brides walking through. From the alter, everyone would notice the door furthest to the left had opened first. It was planned that representatives of the respective parties would enter first before the brides, and all in attendance would notice the holy garbs that the young women were donning. Though there was of course a selected priest to oversee the ceremony, these were a different group of individuals that were over him. Instantly, they would be recognized as the representatives from the Order of the Maidens, a group that had sought to train the young women as priestesses before allowing them to go off on their own to utilize what they had learned. There were few young maidens that sought to specialize in anything combat-oriented, though learning to make certain medicines and antidotes was always common. The priestess that was to marry Hawk was a special case really, and it would make sense why she was chosen to be married. As the daughter of the Head Priestess, she was seen as the most spiritually and magically competent, and would have been a shoe-in to be the next Head Priestess if not for the ceremony. With the representatives now lining the selected aisle, the arrival of their chosen bride would come next. The music would change as she now took the first steps down the aisle for all to see. Rather than donning garbs like the others, the priestess, Remelia , was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress. A few adoring remarks would sound out, and many pictures were taken. She was well known among most of the people who came to the wedding, and she of course was quite popular among her peers. Every now and then, she would glance up to the alter where Hawk was waiting for her. She had spoken to him a few times when he had come to visit the Order of the Heavenly Maidens, usually provided protection and aid on many occasions. And though her marriage to him was not completely in her control, she didn't have any regrets in the moment. She knew he was a capable man and one that she could entrust her life to. Since they had practiced this many times before, there were no issues for her coming up to the altar, of course, she took her spot in front of him for now, as she was the first of three brides. Everyone had expected this to be a rather lengthy ceremony, but that was to be suspected. It was very much like three marriages in one as each bride would carry out their individual ceremonies with him when the time came. Not surprisingly, Remelia would be the first since she had approached first. When the music had died down, there was some time for people to get a few more pictures and admire the sight of them together. Remelia didn't seem all that fazed considering she was quite used to being in the limelight. She turned her attention over to Hawk again, giving him a pleasant smile. So...the day has finally come. Though she seemed calm in the moment, her heart was racing a little in her chest.
