A Natural Garden of Unity.
Two naturally formed paths, one from the south and one from the north, merge and encircle this
garden. Upon the southern path lies several fallen trees and large branches allowing one to sit and
relax upon as a natural bench or chair. Many variety of mushrooms and thick emerald colored moss
cover the dark areas as lightening bugs illuminate and cast shadows that seem to dance and play. The
dark forest looms behind the path. Lush greens with large leaves sprout colorful flowers as the grow
toward the center of the garden. The northern path circles around a large meadow area. Tall grasses
sway in the breeze as the forest to the south fades and a single large willow tree can be seen in
the distance. Over the years natural rock formations have emerged from the ground that make nice
sitting stones to reflect upon. Butterflies grace this area dancing from petal to petal playfully
along the tops of dozens of flowers that grow in this garden. In the middle of the two sides stands
a statue. Several small paths web out from the center to the two main outer paths, connecting the
two sides as one. A statue of Valonah stands here, memorializing her noble spirit. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here.

She is a nimble shadowcaster faeling and is held up by the strong arms of a male faeling who stands
upon a pedestal, the names Daem and Valonah are etched across the bottom of the statue. Soft wings
gently lay lazily down her back as long lavender ringlets of hair twirl and twist cascading down her
dainty frame. She wears a wispy rose coloured dress, one leg is raised behind her, bent at the knee,
while both hands cup the males face. She gazes down upon him, her red eyes sparkling with excitement
at the male figure. Red spiked hair and emerald green eyes accent the males pale skin. Wearing a
white casual dress shirt and khaki pants he gazes up lovingly at the female. The two appear to be in
celebration as a look of love and excitement fill their expressions that radiate out among you. She
is wearing an entwined tulip and rose engagement ring. She walks with the favour of Viravain.

Ragniliff Stormcrow crisply steps into place before the statue.

You nod your head emphatically.

You drop a shadow cauldron.

Dipping your hand into a shadow cauldron, you pull out a long shadow and release it into the air.
The room darkens with the churning darkness.

You have recovered equilibrium.

Turning to the Gathered here, you say, "Greetings everyone, Valonah and I welcome you personally to
our rite of bonding. We have waited many years to share this moment together and are so glad that
you have joined us as witnesses."

Ragniliff tells you, "Okay."

the cauldron. He pats her hand and smiles at her with a wink before walking around the cauldron
standing opposite of her.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Valonah ceases to wield a dark shield in the form of crow wings in her left hand.

Arm outstretched, Valonah calls out and a broom flies into her hand.

In a strong voice, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness states, "We come here today to embrace our life,
that it shall be lived united together as one. Witness with us our ritual of unity."

You call out for your broom and it flies into your outstretched hand.

You have recovered equilibrium.

You begin to wield a wiccan broom in your right hand.

In a strong voice, you state, "In our past we've had some confusion, pain and losses, but we've
grown, learned, and are ready to become perfect again. Let us sweep away the past."

Sweeping counterclockwise around the cauldron, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness whispers, "Let us
sweep away heartache, distance, pain, and embrace the beauty Mother Night has always shown to us."

Sweeping counterclockwise around the cauldron, you whisper, "May Mother Night guard us now in a
cocoon of perfection, so that we may become stronger together."

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness continues sweeping around the cauldron, twirling and dancing with her broom as she circles the cauldron in unison with Daem, completely matching each other's movements, and stopping after four complete circles.

Softly staring lovingly at Valonah, you say, "I Daem, give up a part of myself to you Valonah."

Valonah begins to wield an athame dagger in her left hand.

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

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness gently lays the Shadow of Daem into the dark cauldron before her.

Simply, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness says, "I Valonah, give up a part of myself to you Daem."

"I once gave to you this tulip when I was a young Shadowdancer to symbolize who you were to me, it
has become a connection to who we are and now I offer it to the shadows."

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness tenderly drops a purple tulip in the cauldron. The cauldron vibrates,
and the humming becomes louder.

Pulling out a pink rose, you say, "I Daem, gave you this rose when I was younger to symbolize your
beauty and youthful enthusiam, and now I offer it to the shadows."

You have emoted: Daem twirls a pink rose between his fingers winking at Valonah before depositing in
the cauldron, which begins to hum louder and bubble.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

You have emoted: Daem smiles as two shadows rise from the cauldron intertwined. Soft petals fill the
air twirling out casting it's sweet scent to fill the garden. The two shadows in joyous dance pause
and turn as their loving presence engulfs the air.

You have recovered balance on all limbs.

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness giggles with delight as the shadow of Daem offers her the Pink rose.
She takes it and as she does the shadow absorbs into the rose, leaving only a thin line of darkness
twisting around the stem and up the center out toward the petals. Dangling from the rose by a thin
shadow is a beautiful ring. She slips the ring onto her finger then touches the rose dearly and
weaves it into her hair behind her ear. Blushing she smiles at Daem.

Valonah slips into a wedding band of fireflies.

Valonah slips into an elegant pink rose.

You have emoted: Daem beams as the shadow of Valonah offers him a purple tulip. He takes it and as
he does so the shadows absorbs into the tulip, leaving only a thin line of darkness twisting around
the stem and up to the petals. He notices a wedding band of fireflies, and slips it off the stem
before fondly stroking the tulip, smiling at Valonah lovingly and tucking the tulip behind his ear.

You will now be described as "is of moderate height. His hair is tidily kept down his forehead,
colored a pale red, just above his eyes of a deep green, probing the area curiously, as if looking
for something new to examine and make sense of. A purple tulip is tucked behind his right ear,
radiating a soft darkness. His skin, is pale, almost white. A pair of deep red wings spread out from
his back appearing bat-like, and strong ready for flight at a moments notice. All the shadows made
from his body seem to be slightly darker, contrasting the pigment of his skin, accentuating his
toned features."

You take a wedding band of fireflies from a black velvet backpack.

You slip into a wedding band of fireflies.

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness kneels down before the audience as Daem follows her lead, kneeling at her side. The two hand in hand part the earth and smile, gazing into each others eyes.

Gazing in his eyes, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness says to you, "Dearest Daem, For this I vow to you.
"

Softly, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness whispers to you, "For hearing my thoughts, understanding my
dreams, and being my best friend..."

music to dance by and loving me without end...."

You smile softly at Valonah.

You say, "My heart will remain with Valonah, she is my soul, and as long as she is with me I will
feel whole. I know that this is true, and I will make my vows to her."

You say, “I vow to care for her, in every way whether she thinks she needs it or not.”

You say, "I vow that with every breath I will be faithful to our causes, and our goals, and help to
fulfill them fully."

Lovingly, Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness states, "And as a representation of our devotion and love
may a garden always flourish where we are united."

((*OH NO SHE FORGOT THE SEEDS WE PANIC IN REAL LIFE*))

Valonah leaves to the south.

Valonah arrives from the south.

Smiling happily, you say to Valonah, "May every flower that grows in this garden blossom into beauty
and be nurtured by our caring hands, as we tend it together forever."

Lady Valonah, Soul of Darkness along with Daem carefully place the tiny seeds into the earth,
creating a beautiful garden of flowers.

Valonah carefully digs a small hole, and places the seeds within. As Valonah covers the hole back up,
you can feel the aether energies fill the area.

Empowered by the aether energies, small sprouts quickly begin to emerge from the ground.

Growing far faster than normally possible, the sprouts quickly turn into a beautifully lush garden.
