The wedding was going to be held near the young Moon Globe tree in the rainforest. The DoD had arrived a day earlier, as well as Kinkajou and Fatespeaker. They decided to include some RainWing and NightWing wedding traditions, and the whole place was decorated with bright rainforest flowers, like orchids and morning glories. Glory flowers. Glory.

He drowned out the excited squeals of Sunny and the occassional snort from Tsunami and the chatter among the other guests. All he could focus on was Glory, his Glory, who looked so stunning with her bright scales and crown.
