The former Dragonets of Destiny were best friends. They grew up together from the moment they hatched until the moment they snuck out of their cave. They stuck together throughout even their worst moments. They were there for each other when they were sad or disappointed. They fought each other. They protected each other. They loved each other like no other siblings have ever loved before.

And it was time to say goodbye to the Dragonets of Destiny as they were. Their lives were beginning.

Tsunami and Riptide were the first to get married. This greatly surprised everyone, since they assumed that Glory and Deathbringer would be the first to get married.

However, circumstances forced Tsunami and Riptide to elope and subsequently get married before the others. The two of them were entirely happy with this solution, since they would finally be together without anyone to stop them.

It was a small affair. In fact, only Tsunami and Riptide were there. Since there was no way they would be able to get married in the Kingdom of the Sea, they flew to Possibility, where any and all dragons could live.

Once they reached Possibility, they split up to try to find someone willing to marry them. As it turned out, they didn't need to look hard because dragons were volunteering left and right.Then, they chose rings. Many of the rings were beautiful, but none of them caught their eyes until they neared the end of the selection. There was a thin band made out of silver metal. On the top, there was a line of seven stones. They alternated between deep green emeralds and translucent blue sapphires. Since they had webbed talons, they found a thin silver chain to slide the ring on and wear as a necklace.

"It matches your eyes," they said to each other in unison.

"How much for those rings?" Tsunami asked.

They got married later that evening, with the moons shining in their eyes and the stars twinkling in the bluish black canvas of night.

"My love for you will shine on you just as brightly as the sun shines on the moons."

Somehow, all of the Dragonets knew that Glory and Deathbringer would be next.

Similar to the wedding of Tsunami and Riptide, they chose to have a small wedding. However, they invited their friends for the moral support. They weren't sure how the RainWings and NightWings would take to having Deathbringer as their king.

They planned to have their wedding in the main pavilion in the RainWing part of the village. Glory had asked Tamarin, Kinkajou, and Moon to decorate the pavilion with flowers and vines two hours before the event.

A few months prior to the wedding, Glory and Deathbringer had gone out and chosen rings. Theirs was a golden ring with rubies and diamonds studded along the band.

A few days later, they announced their wedding. As the monarch of the tribes, Glory felt it was only fair for her subjects to know who she would be marrying. As expected, the NightWings were not actually opposed to their union, as it would mean that both tribes would get representation. A NightWing king and a RainWing queen was better than just RainWings governing their once great tribe.

The RainWings on the other hand couldn't be less concerned. It was mean, but Glory knew that most RainWings were lazy and vain (about their appearances). Kinkajou and Tamarin accepted them wholeheartedly, but Grandeur was slightly opposed. Mangrove and Jambu were neutral.The plans for the wedding couldn't have kept Glory and Deathbringer busier. Although they had planned for their wedding to be small, they also had to think about what would happen after the wedding. Deathbringer and Glory would move in together (permanently) obviously. But what about Deathbringer's job? He wanted to stay as her bodyguard, but she wanted him to be her equal and make decisions with her.
