Twilight of a Hybrid
they both said:Human, Dragon, Siren, Slave
Love is what we mostly crave
What matter what we look like
We always have each other
From the heat of the desert
To the cold of the mountaintop
Our love will never stop
It will keep growing
Of honor, love, life, and death
For as long as we draw breath
We’re part each other’s body and soul
And together we are one whole
In eternity of matrimony
We are one from up high
And we both shall love and fly
Even after the day we fall and die
The blue flowers then floated back into their hands and the statues’ eyes morphed from glaring green to a smooth blue; it seems the gods themselves were accepting the marriage oaths the hybrid and the Siren were taking. And by doing so, the flowers Marina was carrying had been pleased back in her hands, as well as Vaeludar’s hands. The fog around them faded away and a sheer wind gush pulled Marina’s vail from her face and showed the hybrid a cyan beautiful face beneath there. Marina’s eyes glittered like the starry night being waved around the blue ocean.
Then Vaeludar moved his hand toward Marina’s cheek, which she grabbed with her hand while they both held the flowers with one hand. Vaeludar inched his head closer to Marina’s head. They both moved their heads closer and then it happened in thirty seconds: they kissed.
A large shout from the crowd echoed in the air. Vaeludar and Marina kissed in front of thousands of people and creatures.
Vaeludar and Marina were now husband and wife, in the eyes of the gods and the living.
After they kissed, Vaeludar and Marina exited the canopy and walked to their table they were assigned to sit to. Marina sat with ease while Vaeludar bent his legs if he was doing wall sit. Vaeludar was using his tail as his seat, as his tail was coiled like a rattlesnake and putting pressure on his tail. It was difficult for him to manage, but he’ll have to make do with this unusual way of sitting.
Then King Uragiru came walking to the newly wedded couple. “Congratulations to you two. As we evolve and take new steps into a new life, we face difficult challenges to face and hard choices to choose from. Your future will hold many mysteries and you will be faced with many friends that will try to ally with you or foes that may try to kill or betray you. People will have their own selfless obligations, others with have their own selfish ambitions and others will seek to take advantage of your beauty or your power. You will be tested by many trails and the both of you will have to endure of what lay ahead of your future: obstacles, monsters, traps, and the usual evil forces that could be lurking around every corner. May you do well in your future, Marina and Vaeludar, and may the Three Gods watch over you two and may have good health and many good fortunes.”
Vaeludar and Marina bowed their heads before the king. The wedded couple lifted their heads from having the king wishing them luck with their marriage. After the king left, hundreds of other guests paid their respects and well wishes to Vaeludar and Marina, wishing them luck and good health in their future. Geraldus had paid his respects to Vaeludar and Marina, as well as his sons: Alaric, Flavius and the twin boys Arron and Nerio (who were not quite respectful). And Geraldus’s daughters, Eliana and the twin girls: Naìra and Andrei, gladly paid their wishes and respects to the wedded couple.
Vaeludar and Marina had smiled at everyone paying them with wishes and respects. Vaeludar and Marina were quite a celebrated couple that even the royalties of Centaurs, Dragons, Fairies, Griffins, and Pegasi have given them gifts humans could never make by hands. And the gifts given to Vaeludar, while Marina was away, were placed in a nearby pile and kept growing.
Then a cup holder came with a large jar and poured fine, red, fermented wine into Vaeludar’s and Marina’s golden challises. A large, fried, smoke pig was set atop on their table. Fruits and vegetables were placed on their tabletop. As the food was being delivered, King Uragiru and his daughter Princess Stephanie sat on the left table with two teenage boys Vaeludar didn’t recognized. On the right table just touching Vaeludar’s and Marina’s table, Geraldus, Alaric, Flavius, and Eliana sat down. Geraldus’s youngest four kids sat down on a smaller table next to their father.
A great banquet was now being held after the well wishes and people and creatures paying their respects. Food of meat and fruit was being eaten by the mouths of hundreds of people. The Centaurs, Dragons, Fairies, Griffins, Pegasi, and the Unicorns stood by while they saw the humans devouring the food they made from living animals, which the meat does come from: dead animals.
Vaeludar could find himself the will to eat anything the people have to offer him. He ate some of the food brought to his table, but he couldn’t find himself to eat too much. For a long time, he could be able to go without being hungry, without starving to death.
Marina was enjoying the food the people prepared for her and Vaeludar. She does know of Vaeludar’s eating problems and went on to eat without him. During the winter they spent with each other, Vaeludar would always give her his food so she wouldn’t starve to death, knowing Vaeludar had some kind of strange, unnatural ability to stay alive without eating anything.
Despite not feeling hungry at all, Vaeludar was enjoying the sights of people and creatures. He gazed at the sun and saw it was passed midday and made it clear the day was somewhere in the afternoon. He heard the talking to the people and of the Dragons and the Griffins.
Still, with the enjoyment of the big party and the feast was being consumed by many mouths, Vaeludar had the feeling something would go wrong. He
