I JUST WANTED TO GET MARRIED!!!
EPISODE 12 - WHISPERS OF HEART AND DEVIL
After changing her wet clothes, and freshening up, Ariana headed towards the Dinner Hall.
It was a spacious room, with numbers of tables for the children of the different gods.
Even, satyrs were present there, along with some nymphs and naiads.
Behind the tables, were banners for each of the different gods.
Air and a lightning bolt for Zeus.
Water and a trident for Poseidon.
Flaming hammers for Hephaestus.
Wanderers and letters for Hermes.
There was a high ground, where Dionysus, and Zynthar resided, along with the other instructors.
The tables for Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were almost empty, except for Nyssa, who sat in Hades' table.
Ariana approached her, and sat beside her.
Kallistrate and Theron were in their respective tables.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
It's empty, huh?
She understood what Ariana meant and nodded.
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
The tables of the "Big Three" are almost always empty.
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
Zeus doesn't have any children with mortals...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
*contemplating* Not that we know of, I mean.
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
I am Hades' child...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
And Poseidon's table used to have a member...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
Until, that is Hera kidnapped my boyfriend.
Ariana picked up a piece of meat, as she said.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
I'm sorry...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
*surprised* You don't need to you know..m
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
You are in the same situation as me... If not worse...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
I mean... You were supposed to be wedded!!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*sad smile*
Thinking of Adrien, brought back memories.
Ariana's memory, took her back to the day, when Adrien had proposed to her...
Ariana, aged 20, was in a date with her childhood sweetheart Adrien, in the Royal Garden.
Well... Mostly because Adrien had wanted to meet her there.
Adrien had called Ariana to their favorite place in the garden...
The gazebo by the lake...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Late as always...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*sigh*
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
When will this guy even change!!??
Ariana was wandering by the beautiful scenery, when flocks of magical butterflies surrounded the gazebo.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
What the----
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Wow...
The butterflies were blue and gold in colour.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*chuckling* What's the show for Ad!??
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
I know it's you!!!
Adrien, as if on cue, appeared from behind a pillar.
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*scratching his head* Damnnn!!!
Adrien Velaryn / ML
So much for catching you off guard!!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Come on!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
You will have to be born 10 times if you want to catch me off guard!!!
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*smirk* Really!??
He suddenly back hugged her.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*surprised*
Adrien Velaryn / ML
So much for 10 lifetimes huh!!??
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*smile*
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*laugh*
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
So, tell me Mr. Boyfriend.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
What is the "super serious business" which brought you back to me??
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*nervous* Well...
Adrien Velaryn / ML
I had umm... Prepared a kinda long speech...
Adrien Velaryn / ML
But, I forgot everything...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Huh??
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
What are you talking about??
Adrien, took out a small box from behind him, as he sat on one leg.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*surprised* Babe... Wha---t are you doing...??
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*chuckling* Sometimes you are so naive, you know??
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*still processing*
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*deep breathe* Marrying me is probably the worst idea you’ve ever had...
Adrien Velaryn / ML
But I’m hoping you’ll say yes anyway...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*brain stopped working*
Adrien Velaryn / ML
Ariana Lysenthorne... My childhood sweetheart... Will you... Marry me...??
*opening the box to reveal a set of beautifully carved rings*
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*tears streaming down her face as she finally realized what's happening*
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
YES!!!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!
Adrien, pulled out the lighter ring from the box, and put it in Ariana's ring finger.
Ariana, picked up the other, putting it in Adrien's finger.
Adrien Velaryn / ML
You are forever mine now... Princess...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
I had never stopped being yours... My Prince...
And, they sealed the promise with a sweet little kiss.
The butterflies, the flowers and the shimmering water, were all the witnesses of this beautiful moment...
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
...ana??
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
Ariana???
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*jolting* Yes??
Nyssa Haes / Daughter of Hades
Yeah... We kinda lost you over there...
Ariana looked around to find Kallistrate and Theron on their table.
Her hand has unknowingly moved to the ring sparkling on her ring finger.
Theron Kim / Son of Hephaestus
*eyeing the ring* Hey!!! That's a real piece of gem!!! Wherecha you get the ring??
Kallistrate and Nyssa now looked at the ring to.
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*soft smile* It was the ring Adrien proposed me with... He has a similar one... But, darker...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Sun and Moon... He likes to say...
Ariana would have said longer, but her vision got hazy.
And, quiet suddenly, she was some where else.
She stood in a cold, dimly lit chamber, the air heavy with despair.
There, in the center of the room, was Adrien.
Chains bound his wrists and ankles, glowing faintly with an ominous light.
His face was pale, his once vibrant green eyes dulled by pain.
But when he saw her, he forced a smile—the same cocky grin that had always melted her heart.
Adrien Velaryn / ML
*weakly* I'm fine...
Adrien Velaryn / ML
Don’t worry about me, Ari. Just... be fast, okay?
Before she could move toward him, a voice echoed through the chamber, deep and haunting. She turned around to come to face with a hooded stranger.
???
The clock ticks, Princess. Save him... or lose him forever...
The room began to collapse, the chains tightening around Adrien as he winced in pain.
Adrien Velaryn / ML
Ariana!!!!
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
Adrien!!!!
Ariana's eyes opened only to find herself surrounded by the others.
Kallistrate Grace / Daughter of Athena
Hey!!!
Kallistrate Grace / Daughter of Athena
You alright...??
Theron Kim / Son of Hephaestus
You are crying...
Ariana Lysenthorne / FL
*tears streaming down her eyes and face* I saw Adrien... He is in pain... We must hurry...
