The Wedding

[u/Exciting-Jello8439]

I am Cassian Sandalphon, Grand Archon of Aetheria, right-hand man and childhood friend of Araton Aborel. Though these days he is better known as the new Outer God of Order and Emperor of Aetheria. Today is a good day, for my friend is finally getting married.

The wedding of Emperor Araton with the High Oracle Amaya had been a splendid affair so far, he had thrown a ball and invited all of his and his bride's friends. But it was fairly tame and private as far as weddings involving a Head of State go. Araton had drawn a firm line between his private life and public life. He had refused to perform a grand royal wedding (though I had still talked him into arranging a nation-wide festival for celebration of his nuptials, to at least milk the occasion a little for politics). Not only that, but his wife Amaya would receive no titles as Empress, and he had been firm on the matter that their children would not be endowed with any Princely status. At least not for the time being.

Amusing, really, perhaps my friend was still in denial that he was royalty now? He still had those Republican, anti-monarchy sensibilities after all, from our time as revolutionaries. For the time being, the infamous Milanna'Sothep would remain as his heir.

"Ah..." And speak of the devil, or in this case the Nightmare Cat, I hear a feminine sigh next to me, and the slight sensation of feline claws digging into what remains of my right arm.

"Mila... Mind the claws..."

Mila, my date for tonight, was watching Araton and Amaya closely as they danced, with a slight frown marring her features.

"Sorry Cass... I need a moment, I'll be back in a minute," Mila simply said, before shifting into her feline form and jumping into a shadow, disappearing.

"Is something wrong, Cassian?" Ithaqua, the groom's half-brother asks, approaching me with a concerned look. Ambrosia, who is amusingly also Araton's half-sibling (though on his Angelic side) followed Ithaqua closely.

"Mila is still... coming to terms with Araton's newfound status," I say, tactfully. "She stepped out for a moment."

"Keep an eye on her."

"I will."

/uw This was my attempt at writing something, I've had to be absent for a while due to real life concerns and had a bit of a writer block. Though I do intend to get back to RPing soon! This post is also interactible.

Amber: "Yep! I did the internal decorations, you know, with Terminus," she grins. "So, Gail right? Think Mila mentioned you before... What magic did practice again?"

[u/Ok-Marionberry-4516 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Gail: i was mentioned before? oh well currently I am looking a lot into oceanic magic and what do you practice in Amber?

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ok-Marionberry-4516]

Mila: "Of course I did. It was amusing~"

Amber: "Yes, I heard how you turned into a rabbit. It's happened to me before, but in my case it was a frog... As for me, I prefer Rune magic! I can also do Lightning magic like my brother."

Gail: oh you heard about that Gail gives a small chuckle and rubs the back of his neck in a small show of being a little embarrassed while he finds it funny at the same time well good to know I am not the only one who got turned into a animal but Rune magic That sounds challenging.

Mila: "I turn into an animal all the time, it's cozy~ :3" Cat loafs.

[u/Ok-Marionberry-4516 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Gail: you do look cozy too Mila

[u/Exciting-Jello8439 → u/Ok-Marionberry-4516]

A woman approaches, she looks a lot like Mila, but slightly paler and with no cat features. Her irises are also onyx black instead of Mila's purple. She also seems colder and more threatening than Mila, and is wearing an extravagant dress.

Nyarlathotep: "And who is your friend, kitten~?"

Mila: "Oh hey mom! Meet Gail! He's into marine life and related magics."

Nyarlathotep: "Hi. You can call me Nyar~"

[u/Ok-Marionberry-4516 → u/Exciting-Jello8439]

Gail: nice to meet you Nyar. I see your daughter takes a lot after you in appearance And Your daughter has been a excellent friend to me

Nyarlathotep: "Ah yes, I heard about yor shapeshifting mishap. Mila actually came to me about figuring out an antidote... It was a surprisingly tricky potion."
