[Praefectus Screptum]

"That is more like it! I did not forget about that little promise about you two. So it will not be just a regular festival."

Tantallos crossed his arms and looked up.

"Well, the Plague Dragon is real, we just do not know if he is still wandering. And I told you he can assist us, as long as we assist him. So I would not be surprised if he gave you a "little push" to feel a little more alive."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Then I have more to thank him for than I realized."

He laughed softly to himself.

"I'm honored that he would think this life one worth saving. I'm truly grateful to the Forsaken."

Chris leaned on the wall next to Tantallos.

"It's nice to have faith, to believe in something. Even better that what I have faith in is a force of good."

He looked over at Tantallos.

"I am curious, though. Was there ever a time when you didn't believe?"

[Haspen]

@Greglotte:

Dag and Danya were both surprised this time.

"We're lacking an altar and a chapel for that." Mannan explained, and then smiled.

"Then again, I was conducting marriages in city halls, throne rooms, at death beds, in the backyards... you need to put your weapons away, as the law doesn't allow weapons during the ceremony." Manna stood up and flattened his robe. It was going to happen!

[Sirus]

Wait, really? Right now? Gregor began to put his weapons away, then stopped and looked questioningly at Charlotte. Would she rather wait until after the battle or...?

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Life is full of surprises, isn't?"

"Sometimes faith help us to reach our objectives, think about it as some kind of extra support for you. Even if you we cannot see the Plague Dragon here in front of us, you know he is doing his work, as long as we help him, he will be helping us."

Tantallos chuckled and nodded.

"..Actually yes. When I was younger, it was hard to believe. But when they began to tell me about some sudden changes on the place, or even on people's life.. I began to understand that the Plague Dragon was real. Especially because some of those situations were almost impossible to happen, so it was hard to come up with some kind of explanation."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Like my situation?"

"I agree. There are many mysteries in the world, and sometimes the only explanation is that there are deities - both benevolent and malevolent - watching over us. How else can one explain the undead, monsters, or demons? So if there are evil deities that create those, then it is logical to assume that there is an opposing force. It's not unreasonable to say that the Plague Dragon is one of them."

Chris grinned, happy to have logic'd the situation out.

@Gregor:

"Lord Mannan, I don't think this is good place to conduct a wedding ceremony..."

Dag leaned into his chair but remained silent.

"And to think I'm waiting for my wedding two more months. I should grab Leon and drag him to the nearest altar."

Valor grit his teeth as he watched Chris and Tantallos talking in private. He couldn't risk pushing too hard about drinks- It'd look suspicious. But he couldn't have them all standing in the street all night. The sooner he got the job done, the better.

[freeformschooler]

: "Go ahead. Let's make our vows now."

Valor grit his teeth as he watched Chris and Tantallos talking in private. He couldn't risk pushing too hard about drinks- It'd look suspicious. But he couldn't have them all standing in the street all night. The sooner he got the job done, the better.

Seyena sidled over to the swordsman.

"You seem a bit glum. What's the matter?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor jumped slightly. Ah shit. "It's nothing, really. I just have something important I need to talk to Chris about, in private. He's busy though. So I have to wait." Maybe he could tell her. But not yet. Not here.

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Yes, like your situation."

"I like your logic. Your mind is pretty open compared to some people I talked to. It seems they ignore the existence of monsters, people being brought back to life.. magic in general. Of course there are more things around us, things that we cannot control at all. But the human is afraid of admitting it, to admit there is something stronger than themselves."

"..But as long as we have at least a few people being aware of the presence of different forces around, I do not think I should be worried."

[Gamerboy4life]

"Hm. I didn't know you and Chris even talked at all. Regardless, what are we doing outside? Anja's back, so let's find a place to rest our feet, no?"

[Haspen]

@Greglotte:

Mannan finished contemplating.

"...yes, I think I remember it all now. Allright then, as the usual wedding ceremony in the Cult is preceded with an hour of prayer and the closure of the chapel to non-invited people, we will skip that and go to the most important part instantly. Dag and Danya will be the witnesses of this holy act."

Mannan stepped to the middle of the room.

"Gregor, Charlotte, come closer. Gregor, you have to move to Charlotte's right side, and then take a small step forward. And you're sure you don't want a proper ceremony? I have to ask that just to be sure."

[Sirus]

: "Well...there's no rule against having a second ceremony later, is there? I mean, we don't have a lot of things a 'proper' ceremony needs and no time or money to get them."

: On the other hand, maybe if we wait I'll actually have some vows written up. You know Gregor, those things that just about every wedding ceremony includes? Sure hope I'm better at planning battles than I am at planning proposals...
