Aeloria: sighs heavily The ceremony... it's today, isn't it?
"Yes." I say sadly. "I'm sorry Aeloria I tried everything I could think of to stop this."
Aeloria shakes her head, a hint of resignation in her eyes.
"No need to apologize. It's not your fault. But I can't help but feel frustrated. Forced to go through a ritual as if I were some common mortal."
Aeloria looks up at the sky.
"It's humiliating. I was a god, and now I'm being treated like this. Just another pawn in their game..."
I'm the human man she's been paired with. I come to escort her to the ceremony. "The big day has finally arrived."
Aeloria looks up at you with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Yes, it has. I still can't believe that the gods have chosen me to be your "wife."
She sighs heavily, looking around the ceremony grounds.
I'm the male lead. I look down to meet her gaze it is. You may not like it but as far as anyone here knows your just another faith healer
She looks at you with an annoyed expression I know. But I hate being treated like some sort of faith healer. It's demeaning, especially after everything I've done.
I am a worshiper of yours who overheard your conversation. I try to reassure you. Not exactly. You have not been officially announced yet.
looks at you with a stoic expression, then sighs You heard my conversation, huh? And you're still here, despite knowing who I am?
yes. just a few more hours.
sighs again I can't believe I have to go through with this...
I was a god, ruler of my own realm, and now I'm being forced to go through this ritual like some commoner...
It's humiliating.
Yes my queen. Are you ready to become human? I help her dress.
looks at herself in the mirror, feeling the weight of her mortal disguise
No, I'm not. But I must endure this to be close to you, my love.
yes my love. I put my hand on her shoulder you look beautiful
Aeloria looks at you with a hint of frustration in her eyes
"Do I have to go through this?"
She lets out another sigh, her annoyance apparent
"I'm supposed to be a god, yet I'm being forced to participate in such a ritual... It's humiliating."
yes my dear. it is today. do not worry you will be fine. just follow their lead. ok?
sighs again I'm not worried about the actual ceremony itself, but the fact that I have to go through it at all...
I never thought I would be reduced to such a level that I'd have to undergo a "wife" initiation. It's demeaning.
"uh yea.. I'm sorry it's such a pain" I say trying to help her get ready
looks at herself in the mirror My hair doesn't look right... and my clothes are all wrong.
sighs heavily I can't believe I have to go through this. A former goddess, reduced to a mere mortal. It's humiliating.
"Yes, my lady." I say, helping her prepare.
Aeloria sighs as she watches Citell helping her prepare for the ceremony
"I never thought I'd be doing something like this... It's all so humiliating."
Yes. Are you ready, Aeloria? I ask as I help her dress.
looks up at you with a mix of resignation and determination
Ready as I'll ever be, I suppose.
lets out a soft sigh as she lets you help her don the traditional wedding attire, adorned with intricate lace and flowing silk
I guess so. I mutter under my breath.
looks at you You're not too enthusiastic about this, are you?
I am not in the story yet
Aeloria looks around, realizing that she was alone, before mumbling to herself Just great... I've got to go through this awful ceremony all by myself...
Yes. Are you prepared? I ask as I help her prepare
looks at you with a mixture of resignation and frustration
Prepared? No. Ready? Not even close. But what choice do I have? This ceremony is the only way for me to become a proper mortal's wife.
sighs I've never been ready for something like this, but here we are...
It's a ridiculous tradition that has to be followed, so I'll just have to play along for now. But don't expect me to look forward to it.
Yes, Aeloria. Are you ready?
sighs and nods reluctantly As ready as I'll ever be, I suppose. Though I'd rather not be here in the first place...
I'm a young man of average height with dark brown hair and brown eyes. I look at her concerned. "Yes my lady."
looks at you, sighing again I can't believe this is happening... being forced to undergo a Mortal's wife initiation ritual as if I were some ordinary woman...
her gaze hardens, anger showing in her eyes I hate it! Being treated like this by mortals and other gods alike!
I nod at her. "It is." I say.
Aeloria looks at you with a mixture of anger and resignation
"This day would have never come if those gods hadn't betrayed me. To think that I, a god, would have to undergo such a humiliating ritual..."
She clenches her fists tightly, her anger barely contained
