To whoever cares enough to read this lost treasure, my name is Lilura Undergrove, but you can just call me the crazy person who decided to write all my experiences about being a literal human arachnid who can't see colors in this word document on my...
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the campus as I sat under the shade of a sprawling oak tree. Books lay open beside me, forgotten as my mind wandered far from the pages of spells and ancient tomes. Instead, it ventured into realms of possibility, painting vivid scenes of a future intertwined with Turstin.
I watched him from across the courtyard, his figure illuminated by the golden light. He moved with a grace that seemed effortless, a faint smile playing on his lips as he engaged in conversation with another professor. My heart swelled with a mixture of admiration and longing.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves above me, carrying with it the faint scent of spring flowers. Closing my eyes, I allowed myself to drift into the daydreams that had become a sanctuary, my safe place, especially during the hustle and bustle of school hours—a place where fantasies unfolded like delicate petals unfurling in the warmth of the sun.
In my reverie, Turstin and I walked hand in hand through a garden bathed in the soft hues of twilight. The air was alive with the fragrance of blooming lilies, honeysuckle, and the melody of distant laughter. He turned to me with eyes that chipped away slowly at my solid stone heart every time he threw me a gaze, his touch a promise of steadfast devotion.
"I want to spend my life with you," he whispered, his voice a tender caress against my soul. "I want to build a world only we understand, with you by my side."
My heart soared as he knelt before me, a velvet box cradled in his hands. He had snuck around with Seren to a few nearby jewelers to find the one who would care for my ring in just the right way. He knew I wanted something modest, something meaningful. Seren suggested my grandmother's ring, getting it resized and revamped to make it more modern while still allowing it to stand alone as one of the most important heirlooms I owned, Inside gleamed the ring, its design intricate and timeless—a symbol of his commitment and the dreams we dared to share.
"I vow to cherish you, Lilura," he vowed, his words echoing through the garden like a sacred oath. "To stand by your side through every challenge, and celebrate every triumph."
Tears of joy shimmered in my eyes as I accepted the ring, slipping it onto my finger where it sparkled like a promise fulfilled. Around us, the garden seemed to bloom brighter, as if blessing our union with its radiant beauty. Seren watched from nearby, creeping up to us with a photographer. Normally, a potential bride would have her entire family there to witness her engagement, but I wasn't them. I was me. And Seren, she was all I needed.
In the warmth of his embrace, I felt a sense of completeness, a certainty that we were meant to traverse this journey together. Each moment with Turstin was a gift, a tapestry woven with threads of laughter, shared dreams, and quiet understanding.
As the daydream continued to weave its spell, my mind wandered deeper into the intricate tapestry of our imagined future. I found myself standing in the middle of a beautiful clearing with lush trees dancing around it, a soft breeze carrying the scent of jasmine and honeysuckle. Turstin stood beside me, his hand warm in mine, as we exchanged vows beneath an arch adorned with roses in hues of blush and ivory.
The seats before us were filled with our closest friends and family, their faces radiant with joy as they witnessed our union. Soft music played in the background, lending a melody to the air that resonated with the beating of our hearts. Each moment was a testament to the love that had blossomed between us—a love that defied expectations and embraced possibility.
I wore a gown that flowed like liquid silk, its delicate lace shimmering in the sunlight. Turstin looked resplendent in a suit of deep forest green, a nod to the magic that had brought us together. His eyes never left mine as we exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to support each other's dreams and weather life's storms as one.
The ceremony was officiated by an elder mage, my grandfather's best friend, whose words were woven with wisdom and ancient blessings. Soft petals cascaded from above as we shared our first kiss as husband and wife, the world around us fading into a blur of happiness and contentment.
Afterward, we retreated to a reception adorned with twinkling lights and tables neatly decorated with floral centerpieces. Laughter and music filled the air as we danced beneath the stars, surrounded by the love and warmth of those who had cheered us on from the beginning.
The cake was a masterpiece, its tiers adorned with edible flowers and delicate piping that echoed the intricate patterns of our love. We toasted with glasses of sparkling Sangria drenched in fresh fruit, our laughter mingling with the heartfelt speeches of friends who shared stories of our journey together.
As the evening wore on, Turstin and I stole moments alone, our fingers intertwined as we gazed at the stars above. Each twinkle seemed to echo the promises we had made, a reminder of the magic that had guided us to this day.
"I love you," Turstin whispered, his voice a soft caress against my ear as we stood beneath a canopy of twinkling lights.
"I love you too," I replied, my heart overflowing with gratitude for the depth of emotion that bound us together. I couldn't help but cry softly.
Together, we watched as lanterns floated into the night sky, each one carrying a wish for our future—a future filled with love, laughter, and the unwavering belief that together, we could conquer anything.
The daydream faded like the last light of sunset, I opened my eyes to find Turstin standing before me, concern etched in his features.
"Lilura, are you alright?" he asked softly, his hand reaching out to brush a lock of hair from my face.
A blush colored my cheeks as I realized I had been lost in my thoughts once again, my thoughts weaving elaborate fantasies that mirrored the depth of my feelings for him.
"I... I was just... thinking," I stammered, unable to fully articulate the images that had danced through my mind.
Turstin's gaze softened, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "About us?"
I nodded, unable to tear my gaze away from his. "About the future... the future with you."
His eyes sparkled with warmth and understanding, a silent affirmation of the unspoken bond that bound us together. "Whatever the future holds, Lilura," he murmured, his voice a soothing melody, "know that I am here, no running."
I sighed as a shy smile swept across my face. "No running."
With a gentle squeeze of my hand, Turstin guided me back to the present moment, where the sun still painted the sky in hues of amber and gold. Together, we gathered my books and walked side by side, the promise of tomorrow's adventures echoing in the air—a testament to the dreams we dared to dream, together.
