Rohan handed his mother to the man who he didn't know much. Ryan held her hand and made her have the seat then he sat on his stone chair. He rolled his head down, peeking at the maidens who picked two vials from the stone table. He had no idea what the juice inside them was but grabbed the one that belonged to him. The scent moved to his nose, black grape wine, it was. 

"I, the Shaman of Muse Luna, send my prayers to our mother, the young daughter of Bead. May this bond bring her prosperity."

The shaman was wearing a white robe, his hat was long and seemed heavy on his head, his hands grew wide to the sky.

"Thee, son of Miguel James, would you be her husband in bitter cold days and sweet days, would you give your blood to protect her and her kin?"

Rohan calmly translated those words. Only the slight wind was hooting and howling, clawing the hung lace between them.

"I would give my life to protect the woman that this land had generously granted me."

The Shaman smiled in satisfaction.

"Thee, The daughter of stars, our precious jewel, Our Saya would you accept the man who wished you as his wife?"

Saya peeked at the nervous man beside him. Marriage wasn't something he wanted, it was obvious but to bring a strong ally they both had to sacrifice themselves.

"I do accept, the man of Velator, may Goddess of Goods bring us abundance and affection."

"Ye, the children of light, I call you husband and wife. May angels lead your path to love and happiness."

Rohan finished translating for him and added, "take the lace off!"

Ryan nodded, giving him a sheepish grin.

Rohan held back the lace between them and Ryan rolled up the lace on the bride's head with one hand.

He swallowed, but his throat was a dry as a bone. He peered into her eyes, how could she have those rare eyes? He could sit there and look into those eyes for the rest of his life.

"Please have the drink."

The Shaman asked and Rohan nudged the groom.

"Give yours to my mother."

Ryan extended his hand and let her drink the content with his hand. After that, she repeated for him.

When the feast and sermon ended, the bride and groom danced around the fire. In a blink that dance was finished off to a chamber. It was all similar to a dream that Ryan did not want to wake from it. He wanted to live in that moment for his entire life.

The door slammed back behind them and brought Ryan back.

"Lord James, I have a wish."

Ryan could guess what she would ask. She didn't want to have any cohabit with him this soon. He approached her, she flinched but he ignored her. She needed to trust him, an intense distrust was screaming out of those eyes and he despised it.

He grabbed her shoulders, bent his head, and left a gentle kiss on her forehead. Her stiffened shoulders soothed. He pulled back and looked into her eyes

"I understand you and the limits in my way. I can wait for these eyes to trust me, to become mine. I don't anticipate you trusting me promptly. I will wait until you yearn to accept me. But from tonight, you are the only woman I am keeping in my heart."

He was an impatient man but things were different here, she wasn't like any other woman he had met before. He could wait and let time cure him.

He had to let the past be buried under new memories, beneath this presence. He could not forget his past emotions but he could let them be carved and would protect them like treasures, like how his father did, consenting to let Livia go.

In just a few moments, she felt her heart being touched by him. He was a nice man and she wished that one day they could put the heads on one pillow but now she wasn't ready for it. Her suffering was yet fresh. 

"I won't forgive this favor."

She put her hands on his and smoothly took them off her shoulders.

"You are fictitious to me, I need time to believe all of this."

She smiled and kissed his cheeks. He was a real gentleman.

Lord James who couldn't sleep went to the garden, joining his men who were feasting with this land's perfect wines.

One of the men slid on his feet. Going to his Lord, "master! Join this humble table."

Miguel tabbed on his shoulder, "my brave men."

The man led him to the seat and poured him wine.

"Not everyone would carry life in the palm and face sheer death."

"My lord, if we don't stop them, we have to watch them nourishing with our children's blood. Ryan sacrificed himself for an oath. The lady is amazing but we know the outcomes for you."

Miguel sipped that wine. It burned, bite, and heated down, the chill in his head bounced out.

"I can bear it, the imps were in Greenwood sky. I can't neglect it."

"You are a great man." Another companion said.

"Master, would your former fellows join us in the harbor?"

"They are men of honors. All rare people that you can't find nowadays," Miguel recalled the old days. Many of them shielded themselves to protect him. They had sworn to respond every summon, to his rise.

"Gentlemen, we are leaving to gather men from the territories that had made an oath with me. We achieved a great agreement here. Ryan would come later when the men of Bead prepare themselves for a long journey."

"I wish heavens stand by our sides. We don't know how many demons we are going to face."

He nodded. They all looked worried, staring at the fire that was burning inside a fireplace in the middle. It was made for the men to gather around the fire.

"We bear everything for our home, our families."

The man who invited the Lord said and went for another glass of wine.

"Yes, I will repay all of these, I am a debtor for what my son and my daughters did for us."

He kept watching at the sparks of fire blossoms that popped up and chilled as ashes then laid on the ground, resting silently in peace.
