Love by the Mystic Sea

Chapter Seven ☾

Before I could see Thane and Dwyen's mate marks my body began to tremble. As my body shook I knew that soon I could not support myself.  Then my vision slowly began to blur, altering my ability to see. I felt Mother's arms wrap around my waist. My back leaned against her delicate yet strong body. "All is well Carita. I will hold onto you my child." I managed to slowly nod my head, glad that I will be supported when I cannot do it myself. 

My hearing of the outside world ceased as did my vision. My vision now consisted of a white tunnel filled with bright multicolored specks. I cold feel my body being pushed through the never ending tunnel.  The journey through the tunnel felt long, but soon I could see the end.

 Once I exited the tunnel I saw Azalea in a stunning blue gown. The gown was made of a soft lace with a sweetheart neckline and aline bottom. A delicate veil was pinned to the back of her head. She was standing at an alter with a familiar male. He was rather tall, perhaps 6'0'' if I had to estimate his height. His figure is rather large with a muscular build. I could make out that he had short brown hair. However, I could not determine how his face and eyes looked. 

The touches that lined the aisle to the alter may have affected my vision. Also, there was a hint of fog behind the orange red sunset. They both held onto a silver pendant with blue gems imbedded into it. Then blue and purple smoke began to snake around their arms. Before I could see their mate marks I was projected back into the tunnel. 

My journey in the tunnel was rather short this time compared to the first time. The exit from my visions are always shorter than when I enter. As my vision returned a strong force pushed me backwards. Mother held onto me so I would not fall due to the intense force. I blinked several times so that my vision would readjust. 

Thane and Dwyen were now walking down past where we were standing as they walked down the aisle. Thane's arm is now covered with white waves along with a crescent moon in the middle. While, Dwyen has white waves on her right shoulder that extend to her chest. In the center of the waves is a pink rose. A small crescent moon hides in the center of the rose where the petals bloom.

I smile at how beautiful Thane and Dwyen's marks are. Their marks truly fit each other perfectly. Mother presses her forehead against the back of my head. "How was your vision?" thought Mother. I smiled as I recalled the vision I had. "It was a lovely vision. Azalea will find her mate! I am certain that I know who it is, but I could not clearly make out his face." I thought. I could feel Mother smile against the back of my head. "I am glad to hear that. I know that Senna has been worrying if Azalea would find her mate."

Many families  do not want their children to leave their homeland. They worry that they will not find their mate if they leave. I recall that Azalea's Mother was worried about this matter once Mother mentioned it. However, Mother insisted that she would find her mate even when she leaves with me. While, Callen's family was not worried about this matter. Callen is a childhood friend that comes from a noble family. He has five elder brothers, so he would not inherit his families House. This allowed Callen to train to become a warrior, which was his wish since childhood. 

I smiled at the passion and effort Callen put into his daily training. Also, at his willingness to teach me hand-to-hand combat. My magic is a powerful tool, but I wanted to have a backup when it came to combat. It is not my best method of combat, but I know enough to protect myself.

My parents, Estrellita and I made our way to our Houses garden behind our home for the celebration. The garden was transformed to host a celebration compared to how it typically appears. Wooden tables have been placed throughout the garden. While, small and large touches were lit throughout the garden. The soft beating of drums could be heard along with the low yet powerful sound of horns.
