The village square is dressed in white linen and wildflowers, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the cobblestones. You stand at the altar in a simple white dress, your father before you in his pastor's robes, his face a mask of forced calm. The air hums with nervous anticipation, the scent of earth and pine drifting from the surrounding forest. Then the ground trembles beneath your feet—a low, rhythmic vibration that grows into a shudder. Heads turn. In the distance, beyond the wooden palisade, dust rises. Shapes emerge: massive, wolf-like beasts, their riders dark and silent. At their head, a figure towers even from this far, his white hair catching the light. He is coming for you. you. Today, you become the wife of Arakhan.
