Felix feels the air frozen in his lungs as Elara keeps stepping further and further towards the well. He attempts to sit up, but Hyunjin grabs his arm tightly, shaking his head as a 'no'. They have to sit exactly where they are if they don't want to become one with the crucified people. Felix whispers in a shaky tone "What are we supposed to do now?" Hyunjin shruggs and puts the other hand on Felix's shoulder. "I guess we have to wait and see."
Elara's hair is brushed lightly by the wind and the red veil that is covering her face folds in a fancy way. Her hands are trembling as she carefully puts the wooden bucket on the hook that was connected to the rope, leading down into the well. She doesn't seem neither sad or happy and that frustrates Felix. Which crazy creature was allowed to take her and force her to get married? Felix curses under his breath as he considers assasinating every single creature that surrounds them, in order to leave with Elara and Hyunjin. Why do things have to be like this? Why can't they just go and find that damn Star Stone, take it and heal his mother? That is all he wants. His thoughts dissapear when people around clap cheerfully. He blinks and finds himself stare at Elara's face. Her face is beautifully painted, just like an expensive painting, a few mandala symbols covering her cheeks and forehead. Her brown eyes are countoured by a pale red eye shadow. Her lips are highlited by scarlet lipstick. The water she is carrying looks as if millions of rubines were crushed inside the white, wooden bucket. The man that screamed earlier screamed again "The water that the bride recieved is as red as blood and the marriage is blessed. She is fertile! Let's bow to our Duchess."
All the people bow in front of the bride, the silence striking the air like a thrown ax. Elara follows a short man, with red beard and small eyes towards the black carriage. Hyunjin puts one hand on Felix's cheek, and looks into his eyes. "We need your magic. We don't have the right clothes." Felix nods and holds his necklace with his right hand, mumbling some words under his breath and then clicking his fingers. Suddenly, they feel heat surrounding their bodies. They look at each other. Hyunjin wears a beautiful black coat, embroidered with royal red symbols.
