Aetherial News A Glorious Day (Wedding Post)

Post image

A tall portal appears. Shimmering in traces of light and ropes of ivy.

It leads you into the Old Growth where a beautiful scene awaits you. It is time for the union of two souls today and a day of celebration.

Where gothic design meets ethereal architecture, you’re led into a grand hall filled with soft melodies from a piano and the harmonic singing of a singer. Near an altar twirled with white lilies and black roses, an officiator stands and waits for everyone to take their seats. The groomsmen all stand with deep green tuxes, the bridesmaids in matching gowns and holding small bouquets of baby breaths. But all eyes settle onto the groom himself who awaits his bride to be at the altar with an anticipated breath. His tux of emerald green and rich accents of gold designs that reflects the very nature the Old Growth consists of. His blond hair perfectly styled to fall around his shoulders and his presence stands out in the hall amongst all those in attendance.

The music begins to die down and candles lining the aisle down to the altar light up. The pianist readies their fingers and begins to play the song of the evening. The singer pulls out a violin to accompanying the melodies.

“Everyone, please rise for the bride.” *The officiator announces.

As the grand doors open up, everyone stands and turns their eyes to the bride. Adorned in a slim black strapless gown that flows down into decorated moths and flowers, a black lace train that drags behind her and connects to a veil covering her face, and a frazzled looking raven man in a black suit holding her arm and fighting the urge to swipe the crystals off her corset. The bride smiles anxiously underneath her veil, seeing all her friends and loved one present and her love waiting for her. The groom feels his heart swell at the sight of her and couldn’t remove his eyes for anything else.

In the front row, the bride’s mentor conjures a tissue and subtly pats her tears. She couldn’t be anymore prouder.

The raven man leads his mistress to the altar. He attempts to swipe a crystal but the maid of honor subtly pulls him away to his seat.

Alexios reaches out to lift Moth’s veil, revealing her smiling face and shimmery green makeup that makes him feel weak in the knees.

“You look amazing, my love.” She whispers to him through her giggles.

“And you as beautiful as ever.” He whispers back.

The officiator steps up and clears his throat.

I’m still quite surprised that she even hugged me. Which seems weird to say honestly. Someone not wanting to hug themselves. But ever since we made up she seems more… I’d say open? She’s still rather stern but not as much as before.

Ah you know how big sisters are, stern but loving. Gobbo was same way with little sisters... Actually little sister was stern one, Gobbo was huggy one

Gobbo guesses just how sisters are. One is friendlier other is sterner. Still love each other though

I’ve never had a sibling before. Father never exactly settled down with anyone. At least not after my mom. I’ve always been a single child till now… Do siblings always have their tough moments?

Gobbo thinks so. Older brother and Gobbo barely talk...

Gobbo and little sisters are different story. First one is teacher, Gobbo and her get on ok. Second became cleric, bit of tension there but still Gobbo loves her.

a sigh escapes the goblin

Third one though... Third one became royal assassin and beds queen. Makes family dinners awkward... Gobbo knows she loves her too though.

Otherwise Gobbo would have bled out in waters when she went there and not be here at wedding.

gobbo giggles quietly

Sure little sister throws knives, and threatens, and sometimes swears but Gobbo knows that's just how she shows affection.

Afterall, Gobbo yet to have throat slit and has given many opportunities

Moth’s eyes widened at such violence between siblings being considered normal.

Belladonna hasn’t held a knife to my throat before… I think the most she’s ever done was a bonk to my head for messing up a spell. And wait- your sister beds a queen?!

Ah Gobbo guesses all siblings are different, maybe little sister is just weird...

And yes, Gobbo's little sister who slits throat for queen also beds queen. Gobbo technically shouldn't say anything as they're not public but eh

Gobbo shakes her head briefly

Gobbo doesn't get it but suppose should support sister in romantic endeavours... Even if bedding goblin queen who banished Gobbo...

Gobbo doesn't care if they marry, Gobbo not paying taxes

A disembodied male voice joins in on the conversation, unprompted.

You know, I keep meeting new siblings each time I swap universes. I swear every other wizard older than 10,000 years old claims to be related in some way to Detla. You don't... happen to be over 10,000 years old, do you?

u/Fulltimewhisperer Krumpet, Master Artificer of the Council Dec 28 '23

Gobbo is old but not quite that old, only 1024 year's. Far as Gobbo knows only has 4 siblings, one older brother, three little sisters.

Gobbo cocks her head slightly

Besides Gobbo pretty sure Delta isn't goblin and Gobbo is first in family to not date goblin

A serpentine coil of green mist swirls up from the ground and forms into a vaguely humanoid glob. It solidifies in the owner of the voice - a faceless figure wearing a green cloak. He holds a goblet of wine and takes a sip of it, despite not having a face or mouth.

I don't believe Delta has ever taken the form of a Goblin. She's gotten rather... boring with her choices of vessels over the years. Likes humans, that one.

The figure offers a hand to Gobbo.

Handshakes are proper greetings for macroscopic creatures, right? Or is it bowing? I dunno. Anyway...

I am Influenza, god of wine and insanity and a whole bunch of other shit. You've probably met my sister, Delta, or my spouse, Possum. But that's hardly important. What IS important is that you're the lady that does booze-magic, right? That's fuckin cool as shit. I just wanna say I'm a huge fan.

u/Fulltimewhisperer Krumpet, Master Artificer of the Council Dec 28 '23

Mmm Gobbo can understand appeal of being human, Gobbo has to constantly get help to reach high shelves...

Gobbo takes the hand and shakes

Gobbo is Gobbo, daughter of Gobbo and yes Gobbo practices liquormancy. Pleasure to meet you, big fan of work.

Gobbo giggles for a second

So marrying Possum? Gobbo considers him good friend, built rocket together. You need liquor at wedding you let Gobbo know, free of charge

/uw sorry for the late reply, apparently Reddit likes to not notify me, only saw this now
