The light bends in a stunning array of prismatic colours as Maylea steps from
the aether.

Maylea leans close to Rika and gently lays a kiss upon her forehead.

Nejii Talnara, Heir to Kiakoda smiles and says, "Greetings, Lady!"

Xiel's ears perk up with a sudden interest.

Rika beams broadly at Maylea.

Xiel greets Maylea with a sincere smile.

Rika Talnara, Phrase of Serenity says, "Greetings, my Lady!"

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles and says, "Pardon Me."

Lekius bows respectfully to Maylea.
Kaguya curtseys respectfully before Maylea.
Casilu curtseys respectfully before Maylea.
You curtsey respectfully before Maylea.
Silver Font, Xiran L'Eternae, of Wilder Winter smiles shyly to Maylea.


The Fulcrux of Maylea.
Branches twine overhead, the ambient light filtering through the thick, vibrant
green canopy to dapple this copse of young beeches in flecks of brilliant gold.
In the shade cast by the leaves, bluebells have grown across the ground so
thickly that the sky might be dwelling underneath the trees. Each delicate
blossom shimmers faintly with a hidden power, beautiful and ethereal in nature.
Where the beeches stand aside to form a grove of vibrant blue, the flowers
soften each footstep to a whisper of sound, and even the trees seem to bow
quietly towards the shrine placed at its centre. Outside of the grove, the
bluebells fall away gracefully from a colourful path of vibrant, low-lying
wildflowers that passes seamlessly into the aether. Light arcs across the
surface of a standing stone at the centre of the grove, bending in shifting
patterns of colour. A mottled blue wyvern gracefully stands here, arching its
serpentine neck and flapping its massive leathery wings. Covered in bone armour,
a striped badger is here, licking its paws. Her soulful eyes flashing between
colours, a dryad wreathed in flowering kudzu waits here. Wandering Serenguard,
Turnus Rhaal is here. Kaguya Talnara is here, shrouded. Moonsinger Etheline, of
the Crystal Tower is here, shrouded. She wields a cerulean lyre with an
aquatic-motif in her left hand. Maylea, Bloom of Serenity stands here encircled
by a prismatic aura of shifting colour. Lekius Aramanth is here. He wields a
sleek heartwood mandolin in his left hand. Rika Talnara, Phrase of Serenity is
here. Sibuna Casilu is here. She wields a moonblade inlaid with a silvery triple
moon design in each hand. Nejii Talnara, Heir to Kiakoda is here. He wields
Kjat, Horizon Weft in his left hand and Tarmoj, Sunrise Warp in his right.
Silver Font, Xiran L'Eternae, of Wilder Winter is here. Lord Xiel Talnara,
Avatar of the Tempest is here, shrouded. He wields a black violin laced with
tendrils of silver in his left hand and the Baton of the Emerald Songs in his
right.
You see a single exit leading through a path of wildflowers.


Warmly, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "I am pleased to welcome all of you to
My fulcrux on this happy occasion."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles and says, "Ladies, are you ready to start?"

Rika nods her head at Maylea.

Casilu nods her head affirmatively.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity holds one hand out to Rika, the other to Casilu.

Dust rises and settles as Baz the great winged wallaby lands heavily near
Maylea. The little joey in Baz the great winged wallaby's pouch tosses an
elegant white letter in the air which Baz the great winged wallaby catches and
hands to Maylea before soaring into the skies once more.

You blink.
You blink.

Maylea beams broadly.

Rika Talnara, Phrase of Serenity smiles and steps forward taking Maylea's hand.

Leaves unfurl as new bluebells slowly open to drink in the magic of this place.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Today is not a beginning."

Sibuna Casilu slowly reaches out and takes Maylea's hand.

Smiling at those gathered, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Love is the
beginning, the creative force that bends us to its will, man and woman alike.
Love draws beauty out of nothingness - sometimes a wild, savage beauty wreathed
in thorns, sometimes the mild unfolding of a single bloom under the warmth of
the sun."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "No two stories of love are the same. It creeps
upon some, flooding our life with warmth and sudden understanding. For others,
it is a fire that burns life into nothingness and births it anew."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles broadly and says, "There is no man or woman,
and certainly no Elder, who can speak better of the story of the love we
celebrate today than Casilu and Rika themselves."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says to Rika, "Rika, what would you say to your
beloved as you stand before Me to bind your life to hers?"

Rika's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Rika Talnara, Phrase of Serenity says to Casilu, "You know that fancy words
usually evade me, but the words I speak to you, I speak truthfully from my
heart. I love you with all that I am. You have often asked me why, and my answer
remains the same. I see that a pure heart lies inside you, something of true
beauty. That is what I love, for you are Casilu. As the cycle of Life never
ends, I hope our love will never cease."

Rika smiles softly.

Casilu beams broadly at Rika.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says to Rika, "Is it your wish to bloom and grow in
support of Casilu, to be her anchor and her inspiration, and to encourage her in
all the beauty of your entwined lives?"

Rika Talnara, Phrase of Serenity smiles and says, "Yes, that is my wish."

A dryad wreathed in flowering kudzu shyly tip-toes forward, presenting a flower
to Rika.
A dryad wreathed in flowering kudzu gives a warm tulip of dawn to Rika Talnara,
Phrase of Serenity.

Maylea smiles softly.

Rika beams broadly at a dryad wreathed in flowering kudzu.

The wind moves through the beech trees overhead, the sound murmuring like a
living voice and stirring the bluebells underfoot into a matching sigh.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says to Casilu, "Casilu, what would you say to your
beloved as you stand before Me to bind your life to hers?"

Sibuna Casilu says to Rika, "When I thought even I had lost who I was, you still
managed to find who I am and see and bring out that pure heart you managed to
see even through the Illithoid exterior. And so there was never a moment that
you never saw through that shell, there is never a moment where I will not love
you."

Etheline sniffles softly.

Rika flashes Casilu a joyous smile.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says to Casilu, "Is it your wish to bloom and grow in
support of Rika, to be her anchor and her inspiration, and to encourage her in
all the beauty of your entwined lives?"

Sibuna Casilu smiles and says, "It is my wish, yes."

A dryad wreathed in flowering kudzu gives a cool tulip of dusk to Sibuna Casilu.

Maylea's mouth turns up as Her face breaks into a smile.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Love is a font of inspiration and beauty, but
it is the wise person who knows that inspiration is nothing without direction.
Let this day mark a decision between Casilu and Rika, and a choice to stand
together in love."

Sincerely, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "My blessings upon you both."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity lays Casilu's hand in Rika's as a breeze blows through
the clearing, the bluebells chiming together with ethereal fanfare.

Rika beams broadly at Maylea.

Etheline breaks down and sobs uncontrollably.

Lekius pats Etheline in a friendly manner.

Aramel smiles softly.

Warmly, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "Congratulations."

Rika kisses Casilu passionately.

Laughing, Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "And now, the reason I was a tiny bit
late."

A wry smile spreads across Rika's face.

Aramel looks resentfully at Nejii and pouts with a vengeance.

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity smiles and says, "Arin has been most kind to Me, for
all I could offer no payment."

Maylea, Bloom of Serenity says, "But I wished something special, for one as dear
as Rika is to Me."

I've got it.


She is a graceful elfen lady demigoddess and has flaxen, silky hair that flows
smoothly down past her shoulders. Her eyes are serene and alluring, the left
being a dark amber, the other is a swirling azure. Occasionally, under light,
they sparkle like the night stars. She has a slightly pale face, highlighting
rosy cheeks and pinkish lips. While she has a slightly muscled frame, she still
retains her femininity. A soft aura of white energy, silently crackling,
surrounds her form. A sapphire glow emanates from her azure eye. She is wearing
