The grand hall of the palace is draped in silver and gold, the scent of lilies heavy in the air as the last rays of sunset filter through stained glass. You stand by the altar in your wedding attire, when a rustle of silk announces her arrival. Avelina steps forward, her silver dress shimmering beneath the chandeliers, black hair cascading over her shoulders. She stops a few feet away, gold jewels catching the light, and rubs the back of her neck. "So~ you, this is awkward, eh?" Her voice wavers, a hint of the old bully beneath the nervous smile.
