She was very excited at the moment. Things were really going to happen for Auraka and herself now. Today was the day when they were getting married. Something that she knew that every elf loyal to them was looking forwards to. The time was fast approaching, and she was actually nervous at the moment. What was a girl to do, when she knew things that waited for her were only meant to be good, but completely nervous all the same.
Gold was her gown today, pale green tomorrow. The two biggest days in her life were now here for her. Things were going to be good, she could feel it at the moment. Her long hair was folded back neatly away from her face and she was almost completely ready. She had her dress on, and all that was left was the other circlet to be worn today. Her mother and father were getting ready in one of the other rooms. Soon she slipped it into place and called, “You two ready?”
“We are,” Zelphar replied.
“Okay, I'm coming out,” she said. “Only, if Sahar's there waiting with you.”
“not here yet," her mother called.

Sahar
She woke easily, having had a good nights rest despite having two new born children. She had quickly learnt that elven children where much better children then human ones, they at least slept the night. Hating to wake them and Drannor, she shook them soundlessly until there eyes blinked open and landing upon her with a gargle of words she would never understand. Smiling in a motherly fashion, she scooped her twins into her small arms and called to Drannor. "Drannor, love," she called to him "wake up dear, you need to go get Auraka and help for the wedding." She moved to the bedside, patting his knee gently until he stirred and placed the children beside him. "Don't forget to get Kasinda and Taeron ready love, I have to go help Gem," she told him, kissing his cheek before hurrying out the door and towards Gem. She knew she would look just perfect, as always.
Knocking on the door quietly, she let herself in at the voice of Gem calling. "Good morning, Queen Laura and King Zelphar," she said bowing slightly. She didn't know them as well as Drannor or Auraka. "Is she nearly ready?" she asked them.
Auraka
He woke, to put it simply, from a sleepless night. It had been odd not sleeping beside Gem, nor having her close. Let alone the fact that he wasn't allowed to see her until the actual wedding. A silly human tradition if you asked him, but Gem had insisted. A sighed escaped him, a large hand running over his face and wiping the sleep from his eyes before standing and dressing himself. He knew all eyes would be on Gem today, the soon to be beautiful queen. And she was all his. He grinned at the thought.

OOC: silly human tradition? Thanks Auraka, but its one of the Ruby Elf traditions too! She smiled as she heard Sahar's voice downstairs. “I am ready Sahar. Just give me a moment.” Okay, now was the time to reveal to one of her closest friends what she had been busy doing. It had taken her a while to get ready, but she did it all herself, she knew how these things went. This was going to be a grand day for all of them. Turning she headed towards the stairs, out of her room and towards where her parents were. The elf moved down the stairs, neatly dressed in her pale golden dress, a silver and gold circlet upon the top of her head, that was as ornate as anything else she owned. She was smiling as she reached the, and she could tell her parents were both very impressed with what she was wearing. "You're definately becoming who you're meant to be," Laura said. "Hard to believe that you're all grown up now." "I guess the times getting close for us to head over there," Zelphar remarked. "You look beautiful Gem. Auraka's going to be surprised." Drannor chuckled as he opened his eyes again. He had not been sleeping, and she knew that. "Suppose I better. I'll see you over there." He got dressed and then headed out, knocking on Auraka's door. "You up mate?" OOC:

OOC: he's not one to follow traditions XD never really looked into it...nor bothered to follow them XD Never planned on getting married ^^
Sahar
A faint smile tugged at her lips at the sight of Gem. She had been right, she was beautiful. Her green orbs were dragged to the circlet upon her brow, gasping quietly at the pure beauty it had. "Your stunning Gem," she said giving her friend a gentle hug and kissing her cheek. "Auraka will be surprised, despite him saying that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on," she giggled quietly after whispering into her ear.
Auraka
He opened the door, nodding to Drannor as he let him in. "Yep, ready to go as well," he said, smiling at him as he held the twins in his arms before picking up his niece. "How is my pretty little niece," he cooed, taking advantage of that fact that his sister wasn't here. She still didn't know and he knew time was running out, when they moved to Taror and he became king there would be little time to see each other, and when she did move there was a chance she would find out herself.

"Well I guess this is it for you, eh?" he asked, smiling at Auraka. "Though the time for Sahar, the twins and me to head home to Taror's too close for comfort." He sighed. "i told Soora I would return though, so I can;t really delay it any longer." It was something he was not too pleased about, but he knew that he was needed there. Auraka did not know though that Wistari was gone. "Oh and feel free to tell Gem anything you want about Taror. You have my permission. No one else though may either of you tell." he smiled. "I tihnk its time for us to head on over."
"I knew you'd look good in that dress too, Sahar." She smiled. "I'm glad you liked it when I showed you yesterday." She paused seeing something. "Drannor and Auraka are on their way." She blushed. Now was something that she was a little worried about. How he would react when he saw her all dressed up like this. Then again tomorrow would be as interesting for him.

Auraka
He paused, looking to Drannor with a small smile. "Thank you Drannor," he said simply "I hate having to keep things from her..but I shall make sure she tells no one and only speaks to you, me or Sahar about it." He grinned "I'm sure her and Sahar will have a massive session of how to live with Taror males," he chuckled lightly and handing his niece about to Drannor and brushing her dowy hair. "I heard you leave the day after your wedding," he said quietly as they moved towards the church "I was planning on telling her the day you left."
Sahar gave her friend another gentle hug, beaming from ear to ear. "Come on then, lets get going," she said

“No doubt they might, once Gem learns more about us. I think it’s time she does know about us, and yes, you ought to deal with that one with Sahar then. I have the feeling she’ll want to attack you for not telling her sooner. She knows I’m hiding something from her, and she knows it’s to do with you. I won’t tell her though. I've kept silent there.”
Gem smiled knowing there was not much left to surprise him with. She knew that the sword she was giving him was waiting for him at the place of the reception, hidden where only she knew of. She knew he would like it. Though she also knew that there was a lot to deal with tomorrow. "Come on, lets get over there."

Auraka
A large hand swept though his brown hair, nodding slightly. "Maybe sooner then," he commented quietly as they moved down the cobble stone road. The church moved into sight, towering over many other of the small buildings. It was one of the only actual buildings in the elven city. He grinned, hands shaking a little with nerves. He couldn't wait to give his name to her.
Sahar
Following after Gem, she smiled slightly unable to wait till her wedding which was in a few days. Just as Gem, half the town was meant to turn up due to Drannor being who he was, Though, for Gem's she didn't know a soul was wasn't speaking of the soon to be the new king and queen.

She smiled as she came into sight of the church, knowing that the two men were already in there. Something told her though, that soon, she'd learn a lot more about Drannor and Auraka. Drannor had finally given Auraka permission. Too many people were coming though today and she knew things would be difficult. They did not actually come into sight of the church until everyone was packed inside. Laura hugged her daughter. “See you inside,” she said. She did not have any role to play now until tomorrow. Gem smiled at her. “Yeah see you inside, Laura.” Sahar would enter before them, and Gem and her father would not even think about entering until she had moved to stand up the front.
Drannor chuckled as they reached the end of the building, and he settled the twins into a couple of seats, then greeted Laura, bowing his head as the greeting. He knew that her presence meant that the others were outside now. "She's here," he told Auraka.

Auraka
The head nodded to Laura, a small smile upon his maw. "Good morning Laura," he said and nodded to Drannor, shifting where he stood. He had never been so nervous in his life, not even his first battle! It wasn't like she was going to see him and run for it...was she? He wiped sweaty hands on his pants, waiting to see her beautiful face.
Sahar
She nodded to Laura as she left, moving around Gem to make sure she was perfect. "Beautiful," she whispered, kissing her cheek and stepping back. "Come on Gem," she said with a smile "our boys are waiting." She went first, knowing Gem would follow.

“Calm down, Auraka. You know her better than that,” Drannor said in a voice low enough only Auraka would hear him. “I know she won't do that on you, she wants to be here, I can hear her as well. She's not the slightest bit nervous.”
Gem smiled. “Not till you're at the other end,” she reminded her friend. When Sahar was finally at the other place she was meant to be, Gaelira hummed once loudly and she heard everyone getting to their feet in anticipation of her entrance. “It's time,” Zelphar said. He smiled at her, taking her hand gently. “You really do look beautiful.” “Diolla, atar.” It was then she entered with him, walking towards the slightly long aisle. Slowly they moved down it, and she smiled as she moved, her eyes only on Auraka now. Things were about to come together for their families. She was aware of Nuala, Ashlere and Galan watching, as well as Drannor and all the others. She could see that Auraka was nervous, but that was fine for her at the moment. He was allowed to be. Everything was as she had planned it out with her family. Behind where Nuala stood, she knew that there were three white candles. One was really tall it had both her name and Auraka's engraved into it in black writing. The two on either side had either her full name or his as well. I remembered the words my mother was going to sing for me. Auraka was going to love this.

Auraka
"Get out of my mind..." he muttered with a quiet chuckle, eyes peeled upon the door as his stunning sister entered. She walked the isle with ease, fluid steps graceful under her dress. But it was Gem that captured his full attention. She moved, her father upon her small arm, and she smiled. His heart skipped a beat, unable to believe that he was actually lucky enough to be here with her. He smiled in reply, all before nervousness gone.

At long last they reached the other end of the aisle and Zelphar smiled as he handed her over to Auraka. “Look after her,” he said softly. She smiled though as she felt her hand in his once more. This was why they were here.
Nuala spoke once, and then recited the things that Gem had spoken to her about.
“It has been a long journey for both our Princess and Auraka as they have gotten to know each other over the past few months. Both met the other in the forest, and Gem offered Auraka a place in the Hawkblades. During that fight, she did get knocked over the head by Auraka's sword, though Gem still has no annoyance towards him for doing so.”
A few people laughed. “You both spent time together, seeing as Auraka was only new around here at the time, and Gem spent her free time showing you around. Then Gem got taken by Lindan Marcos' people and Auraka and Drannor went to help her. She learnt things about both of you that she had not known about prior to then, things which I cannot say anything about here.” Nuala paused.
“She thanks you for helping her the way you did, Auraka from that time. It was then she realised that there was something else drawing her to you, other than a simple friendship. Perhaps you felt it too, but how could she know that for sure? When she was told she had to find herself someone, who was the first person she talked to? It was you, Auraka, and both of you spent all your time together.”
Again Nuala paused. “Eventually Auraka proposed and Gem was delighted to accept. And well here we all are today.” She smiled at the two yougn elves in front of her at the moment. "We all are happy that you're together, Gemstarzah and Auraka, a better future king could not ahve been asked for right now."

Auraka
"With all my heart," he whispered to the king gently taking Gem's hand from him and flashing her a small smile. "You look beautiful," he told her as they turned.
He chuckled along with the others, despite still feeling bad about the day. He gave Gem's hand a gentle squeeze, glad to know she had forgiven him. He listened to the rest of the words, blushing at some of the comments. But it was true, he had known her had loved her from the start or at least a deep attraction. But he had no idea is she felt the same way. So instead of asking, they got talking. He taught her how to fight better, she taught him about herself.
All eyes were on Nuala, small smiles though the crowd and nods of agreement. Everyone thought that Auraka would be the next great king.

Nuala paused for a second, knowing that they were both happy with how things had turned out. This was something she had waited a long time for at the moment. "You both had to choose a poem or song lyrics for today. I know that our own Queen, Laura Berilan is going to deal with the ones for her daughter, and I think it was Sahar that was doing the same for Auraka." Laura got to her feet to stand to one side of her daughter, then she started to sing the words her daughter had picked out for this one moment. "A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon And holds us fiercely in its womb.
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last.
And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its wake To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong." Nuala smiled as she heard her sister in law singing, knowing that though Laura was the oldest of three triplets, there was a surprise waiting for all of her family now. It was clear that Laura had a good voice for the singing part. "Your turn, Sahar," she said, smiling.
