Heavy breathing echoed in the king's chamber, "Eren, relax" Namor whispered in her ear. She nodded furiously, "I want to, I just don't know if I'm ready" she whimpered as Namor rubbed her shoulders. "It's okay, just focus on my voice", Eren's heart raced with fear and excitement.

This was the moment she had been looking forward to since they confessed their feelings towards one another. "I want this, i really want this" she begged, "Only if you're ready" Namor kissed her head. "I am, let's do this", dropped onto the throne hand in hand. The roaring of the crowd scared away passing fish, all excited to see their new ruler.

"Children of Talokan, please join me in welcoming your new queen Erendira of Wakanda" Namor placed his hand on her lower back, everyone cheered and whistled. Eren smiled widely at the affectionate commotion, her smile faded when it was her turn to speak. She awkwardly stepped forward, her feathered cape flowed in the water.

"Hello everyone, my name is Erendira and I am the daughter of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec sun god, I am a warrior who fought against the spaniards that invaded our land, unfortunately I let my feelings get in my way, if the moment comes that we have to fight I promise that as your queen I will give my life to protecting you, if you'll have me".

There was a cold silence before an eruption of clapping and whistling. Eren kneeled as a sign of respect, Namor took her hands in his and raised it up like a champion.

"That was so scary" she whispered as they left back to their room, "I thought it was lovely, spoken like a true ruler" Namor held her from behind. "Now to just plan an entire wedding", "Should be fairly simple, will probably take a few minutes at work" he reassured her.

It did not in fact NOT take a few minutes, it took hours to come to a final plan.

They decided they'd want to have it as soon as possible, they didn't want to wait too long. So invites and announcements were sent out and the stress began. The couple agreed to place Erik and Namora in charge of taking care of things. The two were excited to not only help out their friends but also spend time together.

And so everyone started preparing for the biggest wedding to happen in their history, decor went up. Both sides helped to set up for this momentous occasion.

Eren and Namor came up with the idea to have the wedding near the shore. It will be half in the water and half on land. Shuri and Riri helped Eren get ready with the dress Namor had made for her. While Namora and Attuma helped their king with the ceremonial armor Eren had created. Both made sure to make them accurate to their lover's culture

It took hours of perfectionism and patience but they were finally ready.

Namora helped with the finishing touches such as jewelry, "Oh gosh I'm scared" Eren chuckled. Namora patted her shoulders, "It's ok, most brides get nervous on their wedding day". Eren nodded but couldn't shake off the anxiety, Namora placed the ceremonial headpiece onto Eren.

"Hey Eren?" She started "Namor said you talk with your god, is that true?is he here?". Eren sighed "I do..or I did but I haven't seen him in a long time. I'm starting to wonder if he's abandoned me", she tugged on her dress a bit trying not to cry and ruin her make up.

Namora kissed her head, "I wish you luck my sister". She left to be with Namor, she was his best woman after all. Eren sat in her room alone, that is until a knock came to the door. "Must be Shuri" she mumbled, "Come in!". Little did she know..

             ..It wasn't Shuri..

On Namor's side he waited anxiously at the altar, he rocked back and forth unable to keep still. His cape flapped in the breeze while occasionally brushing on the water, his people stood in the water on his side while the Wakandan's were on Eren's. T'challa(maybe the other guy who Erik killed) waited under the archway holding his hands in front of him.

Namor kept glancing up at the sun which didn't go unnoticed by his cousin. She smacked his arm, "Stop checking the time, it's starting". Sure enough the music started up, both sides had worked together to combine their traditional music, it came out beautifully. Riri walked down the aisle throwing water lilies, king potea's and hummingbird mint.

Namor's heart raced in anticipation, this was going to be the happiest moment of his entire life. However this excitement was quickly replaced by fear when Shuri ran down the aisle yelling "she's gone!".
