“Not much but one thing is for certain,” says Brilyk as he pushes the reports aside. “We’re going to have a lot of eyes on us while we’re putting everything back together.”
“Nothing we didn’t expect of course.”
“True. We were never going to have an outcome where every single citizen would be happy.”
“Pardon me for interrupting the big boy talk,” I joke. “But what is going to be my role in all of this?”
“You’re going to be the wife of a ruling lord,” chuckles Ihokha.
“As well as the wife of his chief of staff and head of the military,” laughs Brilyk.
“As good as that sounds, surely I’m going to have a job to do,” I say.
“Of course you will. You’re going to be the lady of the land, having a say in the running of Infnore. Feel free to suggest any new ideas you think of.”
“I’ve got a few, but let’s get this mating ceremony done first.”
“Fair enough,” nods Ihokha. “Your new role will be whatever you wish it to be, my love.”
“How about being the most protected and treasured woman in all of Infnore?” laughs Brilyk.
“Oh yeah? And just how will I be protected?” I ask in a challenging tone.
“I’ll show you,” says Brilyk, rising to his feet.
“As will I,” adds Ihokha, joining him.
“Okay so… Pretend one of you is trying to get to me. Show me how you’ll protect me.”
“Easy,” says Ihokha. He lunges forward but Brilyk catches him, starting a wrestling match between the two. I giggle as I watch the two elves roll back and forth over each other.
After a moment, they exchange a look as if communicating with one another. Suddenly, their eyes shoot toward me as they pounce. I find myself pinned down as they start to undress me.
“And just exactly how is this protecting me?” I chuckle.
“Oh we’re done with that part,” says Ihokha as he slides my underwear off.
“Now we’re just going to show you how treasured you are,” whispers Brilyk as he runs his hands over my body.

The long awaitedmating ceremony has arrived and it is everything that I dreamed of as a child. The ebony night sky hangs heavy above us, the full moon shining like a massive white pearl. Accompanying it are sparkling stars peppered amongst the sky, as well as the wisps of white clouds.
A week has passed since the night the plans were finalized. In the days that followed, the gardeners did some renovation work in the gardens to create room for the ceremony. It was time consuming work but Ihokha said I could get whatever I wanted and I was damn sure going to take advantage of it.
The aisle stretches on for some distance, lined with flowers along its sides. On either side of the aisle are rows upon rows of chairs, seating the entire population of Infnore.
Guards stand about the place on duty, their armor illuminated by the glow of lamps scattered around the set up. There float a few orbs of light that bounce off each other, caste by my loves. I’m elated as I walk up to the altar where my future husbands wait for me.
Everyone turns in their seats. Some villagers wear warm smiles but others shoot me strange looks, no doubt because I’m set to mate with another species, and two of them at that. It’s obvious that those who don’t approve have attended only for the free food and alcohol offered as refreshments for the guests.
Still, I am unbothered, knowing that some of them have been starved for a long time. After all, I am here for my two special men. I feel as beautiful as ever as I take confident and slow strides up toward the altar.
I’m draped in a long, white dress, embroidered with traditional elven designs that commemorate the Thirteen Who Sleep. The fabric hugs my body tight, showing off my figure in such a way that will no doubt catch the attention of my lovers.
I reach the altar filled with excitement as I take my place between Brilyk and Ihokha. They both wear royal blue epaulets, decorated with elite accessories courtesy of Fohri’s wardrobe.
A high priest by the name of Denor approaches us. He raises his arms as I hear the guests behind us rise to their feet.
