Brie enjoyed the amount of time and attention she received since making peace with the elves. Mina even started teaching Brie some elven magic. Brie's healing magic grew immensely and she now could use earth magic in addition to other magic and skills.
The process of having her wedding dress completely created for her blew the ladies' minds. Sera, Sasha, Leila and Celeste sat in disbelief as Mina's close friend used magic to create an immaculate white wedding dress that illuminated with an angelic glow. Because of the customization it fit Brie perfectly. It showed some mild cleavage, but the layering of the dress accentuated Brie's petite yet strong figure and according to Sasha and Sera, "[that dress] makes your butt look amazing!"
Her parents finally arrived and they enjoyed a nice meal with the King and Queen. Xavier and Mina explained how Brie risked her life coming here but they were thankful she did. Her parents were shocked but very impressed with their daughter.
After dinner, Mina accompanied Brie to her room to give her words of encouragement.
"Tomorrow is your big day and remember, you and Sora will be the first couple to be blessed in marriage by Athena and the Elves! Your kindness and compassion will help our alliance tremendously. Just make sure you and Sora enjoy all of it. It's something you'll remember forever!" Mina said cheerfully.
"Thanks! I'm nervous. How am I ever going to get any sleep?!" Brie exclaimed in a panic.
Mina gave Brie a hug and whispered, "don't stress it will be an amazing time!"
She also handed Brie a small green capsule.
"Just take it with a full glass of water and the elven magic inside the capsule will put you safely to sleep," Mina explained. "Sora has one as well. Are you excited to see him?
"Yes! It's been so nice to get to know you, your family, all the elves, Chimera— everyone's been so lovely and amazing. I can't believe it's my last night here!"
Brie said with a smile.
"Well, take the capsule and get some rest my dear," Mina said as she left the room.
Brie took the magical sleeping capsules and slept very well.
*****
The morning of the wedding was chaotic for everyone as elves and chimera rushed to get everything in their main garden area ready for the wedding.
Brie felt deja vu as she remembered the dream she had about her in her wedding dress.
"Just make sure you consummate your marriage tonight dear! Dorian always insisted we waited until we were married. He hasn't changed at all! Every time we make love, he looks at me with such love and compassion, even though it's been over 2500 years," Camilla cheerfully told Brie.
"I bet you two will have the cutest babies," Mina, the formerly unrecognizable person in her dream said.
'This is absolutely crazy. It's not exactly the same but how was my dream so accurate?' Brie thought to herself as her friends and family all showered her with compliments.
"Not sure maybe it had something to do with Aphrodite visiting you in your dream that night, maybe you got a glimpse of the gods' foresight? Celeste spoke telepathically to Brie.
"Maybe. I just miss Sora and the other knuckleheads too. Spending an entire year and a half with someone only to cut off all communication for a week makes you miss them that much more," Brie responded to Celeste.
"Yes, but I'm sure it's for a good reason and I'm sure it'll make tonight that much more special. After the ceremony and the after party, I will be taking you and Sora to a secret location for you too to enjoy the evening together."
"Please tell me you're not staying…" Brie joked.
"Of course not. You will have a night of complete alone time with Sora. Then you and Sora are off on your honeymoon!"
"Can't just tell me where it is?"
"Absolutely not! You look beautiful. I'm sure Sora is a nervous wreck. You are calm and happy. It's very refreshing to see such young, beautiful love!"
"Thanks for all you do Celeste. I hope you get a nice break when we're on our honeymoon."
"You're welcome. I'm glad to be a part of the party and help out. All of us will take a break to allow you and Sora to enjoy your honeymoon."
"Yay!" Brie said and stopped thinking telepathically.
Brie's father finally walked in and started crying.
"My baby is getting married. You look so beautiful," he said.
"Thanks Dad!" Brie exclaimed. She went to stand up to give him a hug but realized she couldn't get up.
"Mina, is there a spell on me so I can't get out of this chair?" Brie said with a giggle.
"I'm surprised you just noticed, trust me dear it's for your own good," Mina said while laughing.
"Alright ladies, go find your places. You all look great in those beautiful blue dresses. I made sure you got front row seats! Sasha, it's your turn to get dressed and beautified!"
"Brie, you owe me for this," Sasha joked as she got into her Aquamarine maid of honor dress. Her silver hair now had purple highlights instead of pink highlights to accentuate Brie's make-up and match Sora's eyes.
Brie's right eye has aquamarine eyeshadow, and her left one had a perfect amethyst eyeshadow and it was done eloquently. She mirrored Sora's eyes. The elves put so much thought and detail into the wedding.
Sasha and Brie laughed and talked about all the adventures they had together before they met Sora before it was finally time.
"I remember how hard you were crushing on Sora the first day. I didn't really think much of it then, but I remember how pissed you were when Levi, Jubelle and I walked up when you were about to kiss him for the first time."
"That was a fun day. I told him it wasn't a date and it totally was. He was so gullible back then."
"To be honest, he still kind of is."
"That's my Sora." Brie said with a large smile.
'I wonder how he's doing. I miss him so much. This has been so much harder than I thought, even with all the distractions.'
