Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "I would like to start off the moment
with two Liturgies that I feel reflect the moment we have come to now...."

Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "The first is to honor our Lady of
Thorns with the Liturgy of the Manifold Wyrd to the Goddess Viravain."

Talan Ysav'rai, Princess of Shadows guides the mother of the bride to a seat in
front.

Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "Myriad are the facets of the Wyrd, for
as the notes of the Summer Song crescendo into whispers of the Webbed Mistress,
so too does the calm before the Wyrden Tempest tremble.. whilst the Wyrd births
a Child, so too does the Storm bear Winds of Change. The Shadows weave elegantly
about their Daughter so chosen, and thus does the Veil part for the aware, and
to Thorns does She surge, waxing ever ascendant... this is the Wyrden Truth."

Lady Somaria y'Kaliath, of Sinful Radiance turns her cold gaze forward,
remaining silent and nodding slightly in acceptance of the Liturgy.


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "And next, the Liturgy of Adaption...."

Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "The shadows of Mother Night are an
ever-shifting being. They evolve and reshape with the movement of Father Sun and
Mother Night, adapting to their new enviroment. Adaptation is the tool of the
strong."


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "I feel these two have grown and become
stronger together, capturing their own spiritual adaption in this union, which
will in turn make our commune stronger and grow with focus and clarity in love,
respect, and honor."



Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "I would like now to give the room back
to these two so they may say their vows and capture their binding together, and
I will seal the union afterwards with a small blessing to Mother Night."


Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness walks up next to Valonah and takes her hand.


Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness walks up before the table and stands
before Marcellus her hands in his as the ritual begins.


Turning towards those gathered, Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness says, "Now if
you would aide us with your silence, we would like to attempt a deep ritual of
binding."
Valonah begins to wield an athame dagger in her left hand.


Valonah thrusts an athame dagger into the ground near Marcellus, then as she
withdraws her weapon from the ground, Marcellus's shadow comes with it.


Marcellus thrusts an athame dagger into the ground near Valonah, then as he
withdraws his weapon from the ground, Valonah's shadow comes with it.


Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness raises Marcellus's shadow and eases it
out in front of her towards her shadow that Marcellus holds.


Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness follows Valonah's lead and eases her shadow
towards his and as they meet they erupt in a violent explosion of energy before
twirling, twisting and dancing into the air together before diving down into an
alembic.


Turning toward the table she reaches into her pouch and produces a young leaf
from a small sapling, dropping it into the alembic, turning back to face
Marcellus smiling , Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness says, "This leaf
represents life, growth and giving. Dear Marcellus, I give to you my life that
you and I shall nurture and love, that our family and bond grow and our days and
nights be shared always giving each other all we need."


Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness pulls a feather from his pocket and smiles at
Valonah as he teases it across her cheek evoking a smile from her as well. He
turns from her and to the alembic and tosses it into the air. While the feather
gently floats along currents of air, he speaks, "Valonah, it has been a struggle
and I know I have not always been perfect. You have been patient with and
forgiven me though. I promise you that I will never force you to display it
again, but I appreciate every bit of patience and understanding you've offered
me and will always offer you just as much in return." Just as the feather
reaches the surface of the freshly forming concoction, he turns to Valonah and
kisses her upon her cheek.


Lifting Marcellus's hand with hers up over the pot she draws her dagger and
slides it across his palm and hers. Blood drips down swirling in the mixture she
turns to return her words to Marcellus, Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness
says, "May this blood represent our love. Love that flows through me is as true
as the blood that passes through our bodies, our hearts that beat steady and
strong in unison, that we shall become one in this union forever and always."


Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness leans over lifts a fish from a tightly sealed
compartment in his pack, being careful to hold it safely away from his nose as
he drops it into the mix. Turning to Valonah, he brushes her hair back and over
her shoulder before he continues speaking, "Love, trust is something that is
gained over time and I have not always trusted you as much as I should. Trust me
now though, when I tell you that trust is the foundation that every relationship
is built upon and I could never trust you more".


Taking a small jar from her backpack she opens it and tosses the eyes from an
owl into the pot. Slowing turning back to Marcellus she reaches up and softly
strokes his cheek, Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness says, "My Love, you
are wise with insight and open my mind, my heart and soul to all things of this
life. Teaching me to love in ways I never dreamed possible. May we learn wisdom
and see with thy own eyes always each others needs having empathy and
compassion."

Finally taking her fingertips she carefully picks up the tongue of a toad that
had been sit aside, she flings it into the alembic and smiling, Seer Valonah
Dekoven, Heart of Darkness says, "Communication my love, is key to all great
relationships. I promise to you to tell you as best I can all that I feel, and
know and hope you come to me in times of discussions with thoughts, dreams,
concerns and desires. May we always be able to go to each other in times for
care and comfort."

Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness sighs contently as he pulls Valonah close to
him and they light the flames beneath the pot, stirring it in unison. At first
the clashing smells from the ingredients don't leave you surprised in your
distaste for them, but shortly thereafter pleasing fragrances permeate through
the air and tease your nose.


Seer Marcellus, Heir of Darkness inhales deeply and whispers to his love and
Valonah removes the large wooden spoon from the mixture. They each take the vial
the have been concealing together within one another's hand and dip it into the
alembic together, filling them with the brew. As they turn to face one another
with a smile, they cross their arms around one another and proclaim loudly their
love before bringing their vials to the one another's lips.

Seer Valonah Dekoven, Heart of Darkness closes her eyes as she slowly tilts the
vial she holds upwards and they drink together of their concoction. They slowly
open their eyes, feeling nothing and blink at one another as you notice a tiny
blot of darkness within the center of each of their bodies. Slowly the two black
dots grow and eventually blast a link of energy between one another before
rapidly expanding and exploding into a blinding darkness that briefly
encompasses the ceremony. As you regain your sight, you notice them kissing
deeply with broad smiles upon their face.


Dipping her hand into a shadow cauldron, Nadjia pulls out a long shadow and
releases it into the air. The room darkens with the churning darkness.


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "Mother, hear my prayer...."

Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "All fades and passes, day to night,
life into death. She is the Mother who guided us. She is the Shadow and the
Darkness who is here which embraces our dreams. She is the bird that sings its
song at midnight and ushers Her children home safely."


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "In Her end is our hope of beginning
and we honor Her. She is the ecstasy of the shadows, the delight of the rapture
that is and will be our victory. She is the absence of the moon's beam, and the
void within everything. Her path is the path of the Weaver of our Fate."


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "She is the grace of the darkness of
dreams. She is the jewel in each mystery. Our path is one of shadows and night,
fire and water, air and earth. In seeking Her journey we have discovered greater
mysteries and show true form of mastery of the unknown."


Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "Our spirit is aware and pure, our
motives are strong and deep. She has shown us the drop upon the water, the
ripples across the vast space of the seen and unseen, and your Path, my brother
and sister, has unfolded to make known that you are ready to take the next step
and discover the Truth of the Self in Love."

Princess Nadjia, Mistress of Tears says, "In your knowledge of the weaver of
secrets, past, present, and future, and the spiritual guidance of the Lady of
the Night, you have become joined.two into one in honor of Mother Night. As
Voice of the Lady of Thorns, I decree this union sacred and forever bound. a
reflection of the strength of the great commune of Glomdoring."
