Wings of Fire: The Ice and Stars prophecy

Chapter 9

It seems like a lot of important stuff has been happening lately, my coronation, Falcon's coronation, Crimson's death, mother's death, the Ice Kingdom melting, and now our wedding, and my coronation to become Queen of the Skywings and then I suppose Falcon would need to have his coronation to become King of the Icewings. So, it's all happening now, his second coronation, my second coronation, and our wedding. 

Our wedding. 

Our wedding. 

Wedding. 

Those are the words that have been traveling through my head and the castle and the kingdom probably throughout Pyrriha. They embed my scales with sapphire and aquamarine which is very painful, I wince as they start embedding the smaller scales on my talons. Then they put a beautiful silk cloak on me and pearls with other glinting gems on it around my spikes. 

It's beautiful but annoying, the seam on the cloak rubs against my neck, the embedded gems are extremely painful, the strings of pearls are tied so tight on my spikes it feels like there trying to pull the spikes out, and now, they want to dye my claws. They decide instead to cover them in tiny little aquamarine and sapphire stones. They take a sticky substance and cover my talons with it and then start putting the shiny stones on. They go out for a moment and I loosen the pearls, and put the cloak and clasp it a notch looser. I sigh in relief. 

They escort me to the closed doors where I hear music from within. I hear the wedding march turn on and they open the doors. And... Dad. Dad was a Seawing, a blue one, that's how I got my blue swirls on my scales. He was an explorer that Mom ended up falling in love with, he stayed in the Ice Kingdom for three years of my live before going off and exploring. I hug him. "Oh, dad, I missed you, so much," I say. "I missed you, too, darling," he replies. "And to think I fell in love with a Skywing, falling in love with somebody from a different tribe must run in the family, I caught Evergreen flirting with a Seawing," I say. He smiles. Somebody from the audience clears there throat and we pull apart. "Better continue the wedding," he says and escorts me up to Falcon who was waiting patiently.

Next are the coronations. Falcon does his first, he makes his vows skipping some of the usual due to him also being King of the Skywings and then they take his original crown off and replace it with one that has two metal dragons welded together: a Icewing made of silver and a Skywing made of gold. 

They do the same vows with my coronation and have a crown similar to Falcon's that they place on my head. "I announce you dragon and wife, king and queen, Your Highnesses." The priest declares and backs away. We walk down the aisle and out the door. We split up and head to our rooms. 

I shake off my cloak and then take the pearls and gems off my spikes. Then i get a stick and start prying the gems from my claws. It takes awhile but I get them off. I just leave the aquamarine and sapphire in my scales. A servant comes in and tells me that I am to share rooms with Falcon, I nod and gather my stuff. The servant helps me carry my few things to Falcon's room.
