The Daughter of Poseidon: Betrothed of Apollo

3rd

                (Aella's wedding dress)

               (Apollo's wedding outfit)

       "If you pull this corset any tighter I won't be able to breath" Aella Gasps as Aphrodite pulls it even tighter.
     "You know that we have to make you perfect for the wedding! Everyone is coming, all the gods and goddesses and even the half-bloods" she purrs out
    Aella groans, great just great more people she would have to worry about. Not only was this a marriage she didn't want, she wasn't sure that Apollo wanted it either!
     Soon Aphrodite deemed her ready. Although Aella believed it to be far to much makeup and not nearly enough clothes. She walks into a room full of strangers and sees that not only the Greeks have come but the Romans as well. The room was decorated in the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen and in front of her stood the man she would marry.
     Olympian weddings are not the same as human weddings there is no legal documents signed not even any chanting to bind them. Instead the Fates come and tie their wrists together. When the string is  clipped both partners are left with a small tattoo on their wrists.
      As Aella walks to the alter where Apollo stands fully dressed in greek clothing she notices his eyes wandering her. There were get to few clothes covering far too little of her body. Still she holds her gaze stay as his eyes finally met hers. "You look beautiful, Aella. Who knew you could look like a lady prettier than Aphrodite I would say."
      Apollo jokes, Aella grits her teeth as she bites back everything she would like to stay and simply stand straighter and takes his outreached hand. The fates step up taking Apollo's hand they begin speaking "most often we bind people who wish it. But we sense in you a great desire not to be bound."
      All three look at Apollo and tie the string around his wrist "As for you young lady we sense the hatred for so many in your life. Yes you two will make a good pair. I say to you, reach out to each other with open minds and an open heart and you will find you complement the other rather splendidly"
     As they cut the string the now married couple wince as the tattoo is burned into their wrists

      Finally, the only part Aella was looking forward to. The party not because she wanted to be around people but because she could finally sneak off and remove this uncomfortable dress. However she finds herself trapped again and again as Apollo introduces her to several of his godly friends. And eventually to the half bloods.
        As Apollo continues to parade her around she spots someone familiar in the crowd. " Loki?"
       She all but screams as she runs to her old friends who reaches out with open arms to catch her and spin her around chuckling.
"Hello Aella, when were you going to tell me you were betrothed?"
     "Believe me there is nothing I would have wanted more. But I have been under very strict supervision through fear of my running off to avoid getting married" Aella Groans
     "Well love, seems your husband is quiet attracted to you. He hasn't taken his eyes off you sense you came over here. He's a positive one eh?"
       Aella rolls her eyes "oh please, like he car..."
       She trails of when Loki turns her to face him and their eyes meet. She feels a shiver go down her spine and quickly turns back to face Loki.
        Aella gulps and whispers out "Okay you've made your point"
           She feels a hand on her hip as someone pulled her close from behind. "So this is where you have been hiding. Come now, I have friends I would like to introduce you to."
       As her newfound husband pulls her away she can't but notice the smirk on your old friends face.
