Cloud Neun (9)

[borg9]

Dizzy from the Union of two parallel universes. I woke up on Kipee Mull. Watching the sunrise high into the canopy. Breathing in the clear, damp, jungle air I wondered what this day would bring. I waved at a fellow homin who must have joined me on the Mull while I was dozing. He had a far away looking in his eyes. I recognise the expression. I knew how he felt. Looking into the distance with a longing that is inside us all, for a peaceful time.

I returned to Fair Haven, the telegraph had told me there was a buzz in the air. Old friends and new faces all around. I teased my suspected sister, Frydeswinde. Sxarlet was the 'too radiant' as ever, she is a breaker of mens hearts. Playful Kyerna, warm as every was there too.

The travel had tired me, I just stood.

After a few minutes had past, I dressed for harvest, checked my pick and practice my prospect. Was I showing off? Maybe!

I was waiting for my sister, she takes forever getting dress. I shuffled my feet and looked around.

Finally, Nine appeared, dressed and ready. We left for the Enchanted Isle. I had some promises that needed to be fulfilled. Weaving through Torbacs, Kinchers and Kirosta. I reached the spot. A special place I know that has the choicest Patee Nodes and most basic Fung Resin.

The Enchanted Isle was not as quiet as it used to be. I had scanned the region for signs of homin life. A new but familiar name appeared to me. It was LadyD, we exchanged good days and I wished her well on her up and coming special day.

Then my Seren appeared. Normally, she would wake before me and be there to greet me when I woke, however today It was I that was up with the Izam. We had been dating for about a year now. She was the reason, I had be so distracted. Late delivery of Armour orders, a complete lack of interest in hunting and harvest. Well, I was in love, an all-consuming love. She has become as special to me than Atys itself. We chatted as we dug.

Time past quickly, we playfully teased the Mekkis and Shalahs.

Looking deeply into her eyes, I knew the moment was right. That perfect moment, where time stands still and nothing but the two of you exist. I had a question for her, one that I had longed to ask, but never quite found that right way to ask it.

The words flowed like the waterfalls of our lands, perfect moment and simple words.

'Will you be mine for ever?' I asked her
'For eternity?'
There was a pause, we were lost in each others eyes.

'Will you marry me?' I wanted my question to be clear.

Time stood still as it does at moments like this. A lifetime, an eternity, seemed to pass in a second.

'Yes!' She replied.

I feel for the poor Shalah whose tail I pulled, as we raced around like children.

Full of joy and hope for the future. In heaven that She loved me as much as I loved her.

We decided to celebrate as the Fair Haven bar. We rushed to tell the world of our joyous news.

Many friends were sleeping as it was late, but some were still about.

A party ensued at the bar and much was drunk.

This was the happiest day I have ever had on Atys.

So thank you to our friends for coming at such short notice and thank you for the warm congratulations from those who couldn't. I hope we didn't show ourselves up to much. Not that we noticed much that was going on around us after the bubbly was opened.

We will set a date as soon as we have had time to recover from our hangovers.

Im sorry for not going to Tryker as planned yesterday now. I had my hand full of a Horrible Jugula, who struck me into a coma, so I missed 2 or 3 hours of yesterday (server stall).

I would probably have been in the bar if I had been around, drinking too much stingabrew again.

Im happy for you two, may you have a long life and many happy days, and not too many children running around and bother the Shalahs!

[cstrahd]

congratulations again, your party was a full success, even though I was only there for a few minutes, a few glasses of fresh Yubo Juice.

For all that were missing this moment, you should have seen them, full of joy, holding hands, giggling ...

Happy for you

Gratz!!! Neun and Seren.
I Wish you the best.
Sorry for not be able to come to your party that night.
When will the marriage will take place?
Gratz again.

Congratulations you two, I hope I can make it to the wedding

[ilthor]

Big grats, its not everyday a homin ties the hang... hmmm divine knot.

Out of fun, hope i can make it too. Anyway, best wishes!

Thanks once again for all you kind words and congratulations.

Seren is busy running around make arrangements, wonder if the grin will every leave her face. (Hope it never will)

We will be speaking to the 'offical wedding planners' to firm up the arrangements.

As for a date and location, we haven't decided yet. I hadn't planned on asking for her hand, we were taking it slow (if you know what I mean), but the moment was perfect and to have missed it would have been foolish.

It was just magical for the both of us that so many friends, just dropped what they we doing and came to toast our news. We are truely blessed to have such friends, many stayed awake much longer than normal (as we did).

I still can't quite get over the atmosphere in the bar.

A truely magic day for so many reasons.

New friends and a bright future.

She is my one and only. Now she and all of Atys know that this is the first day of the rest of our lives together. With someone so special to share my future with, I am the happiest Homin alive.

awww, so pleased for you both. 2 very lucky trykers indeed, Seren for finding the most loyal and amazing guy in Atys, and my good friend Neun for finding the most beautiful gal arround. Hope you both have a great life in Atys, and wish you every sucess and a blooming family. Can`t wait for the hen night , the barman was great last night, finally showing off his cocktail making skills, i knew he had it in him, and the tryker hangover was well worth celebrating with you last night.

*goes to get a hair of the gingo*

gratz again, may Atys be with you
