The Lost Queen (Druig x OC) (Eternals)

Chapter 51: The Wedding

Reina was used to chaos. As a warrior when she was younger, then a "superhero" when she was reborn on earth, then a runaway, chaos was something she had known very well, something she was shaped around, something she found comfort in, but this. This was a different type of chaos.

The Eternals had arrived the night before the wedding and had wanted to help with the decorations and set up. Although having the couple extra sets of hands were nice, the amount of people working all at once had made her nervous. Despite the nerves, she was excited. She had no doubt that she was marrying the right man, and she was happy that she was marrying for love and not out of obligation to Asgard, a fate she had feared ending up with do to her position.

She had never been one for lavish parities. She would normally spend birthdays, and holidays with her family but a wedding was a big deal in Asgard, especially when it was a wedding for the queen and future king consort, so this was not something that they could just make an announcement and be done with and this was no birthday. The newest chapter of her life started today and unlike the Chapter's prior, she was going into this one willingly, accepting it fully with no regrets.

Hela, Val, Loki, and Sprite, who she had gone closer to as Sprite was still living in Asgard, hustled around Reina, trying to do her hair, makeup, and last minute touch ups to her dress. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she smiled seeing her dress in the reflective glass. It wasn't white like an average earth wedding but rather was a dark golden color with lighter gold accents. It was a slim fighting mermaid style dress with a short train and a deep v-neck. Her hair was twisted into a neat braid before being twisted into a tight bun on her head.

Hela walked up to her with an unwavering smile as she held the official crown of the Queen of Asgard. Hela raised it up as Reina bowed her head a bit, allowing Hela to gently place the crown on her head. Reina's head tilted back up to see her sister's smiling at her.

"I still can't believe you getting married," Hela smiled with as her eyes watered slightly, "Mother and Father would so so proud of the Queen you've become.

All Reina could do was nod and thank her sister for the kind words of encouragement when a knock sounded from the door. Loki open the door, revealing Ajak and Thor.

"The wedding is about to start. Are you ready?" Ajak ask. Reina simply nodded as everyone left the room to find there seats and she began to follow Ajak out but Thor stopped her for a second.

"Hey," Thor said, wiping his hands against the pants of his traditional Asgardian armor.

"Hi," Reina responds, giving Thor a suspicious look, "What's up?"

"I want you to know that all of us, We really look up to you. We always have. You're our older sister, and we really missed you when you left, but we're glad your home now." 

Reina opened her mouth to say something but was cut off when the doors opened as music rang out through the halls and Thor and Ajak slipped inside to find their seats. Claire started to walk down the aisle, spreading red rose petals down the walk way, followed by Reina. Druig stood at the end of the aisle, his eyes fixated on Reina, watching her intently as if she would just disappear at any moment. Once Reina made it to the alter, Druig reached out to grab her hand, squeezing them lightly to prove to himself this was all real.

The throne room was huge, and yet filled with people. The front most seats were filled with there family, the left side held Reina's siblings from the academy sat in the third and fourth row while Loki, Hela, Thor, and Val sat in the front. On the right side the Eternals sat, some of them had brought their families from Earth. The rest of the hall was filled with Asgardians. Heimdall stood at the alter, reprising his normal role as the royal wedding officiant.

"Family, Friends and Citizens of Asgard, We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of the Eternal, Druig and Reina Odindottir, reigning queen of Asgard. Druig, do you take Reina to be your wife? To love, to trust, and to commit to, through joy and pain, sickness and health, and whatever life may throw at you both, for eternity?"

"I do"

"Queen Reina of Asgard, do you take Druig to be your husband? To love, to trust, and to commit to, through joy and pain, sickness and health, and whatever life may throw at you both, for eternity?"

"I do"

"Than it is with great honor... and pride," Heimdall pauses and looks towards Reina, "That I pronounce you husband and wife, You may now kiss."

Reina and Druig's lips connected before Heimdall even finished saying the words, as the whole room filled with the cheers for attendees. Druig and Reina walked back down the isle, now a newly married couple. The rest of the wedding party moved into the ballroom that had been decorated for the reception, and the party began.

"Mother and Father would be so proud of you right now Reina. I hope you know that we are too and we could not be happier for you that you finally get your happy ending." Thor came up to Reina, giving her a hug

"This isn't the ending brother, It's only the beginning"
