A SEA OF DEAD, DRIVES MEN INSANE

Today was the day he had been all too uncertain of. He knew Demius was to be married, and he was proud of the boy that he had found love in the arraignment. Granted he wasn't by blood the Spartans boy, but he would treat him as one nonetheless - And Phobus. He'd had a strange feeling of uncertainty of Phobus, he was mysterious to say the least but he certainly had hoped Phobus would be nice during the wedding after being not chosen by Wisteria. An alliance with a large pack like Hawthorne was surely only strategic war methods at first, but Demius really was taken by the Hawthorne girl. That was a blessing, if he had crossed her the Spartan feared war.

"Mabbit! Are you almost ready to go?" Themis' voice called to him, he smiled. "Yes my love, He called back, sliding his horns up and down a bolder in the den. He had taken his time to bathe and even sunk himself in the river to try and cleanse the places he couldn't reach himself. "We'd better get going, I don't want to be late for Deimus' big day." He raised his head and nodded as she nosed his neck and giggled, his fur still being a little damp from the river. "We should, love. Let's go" He smiled at her.

He walked side by side with her as they left the den, and journeyed on towards Hawthorne. "Deimus seemed excited this morning - I'm proud of him for finding a wife that suits him. Pretty ironic he was against this in the first place." Mabbit chucked with her. "I'm glad he's found love, and it's certainly seemed to encourage him to grow as a man. I'm proud of him." He said, looking to her as she leaned into him with a smile on his face. The dark began to swallow them almost, little light peered in through the trees. It seemed like the perfect home for these Vampires.

When they came to the clearing, he bowed with his Queen. "Queen Lucaya. It's good to see you. Thank you for allowing these weddings to take place on Hawthorne's Kingdom. It's been stressful planning everything, but I'm glad the day is here. I'm sure the girls are too, huh?" The Spartan waited until his wife had finished speaking before he fell in turn. "Thank you, Queen Lucaya, for having the wedding here and allowing this opportunity." He said softly, careful to not meet her eyes. Instead he looked to Themis, a smile pulling at his jaws as she nuged him. He followed her towards Demius, the boy looked so proud and happy. "I'm proud of you, Deimus. You'll do great today." Mabbit smiled at him in approval before moving with Themis to sit at the front.

His ruby gaze swept over the forming crowd. The shadow of Phobus in the back. He felt a ping of anger hit his chest, why was he not happy for his brother? Wasn't he unhappy with an arranged marriage anyways? He looked to his Queen as she looked to him. "Phobus is here. He doesn't look happy. Can you help keep an eye on him, please? I don't want anything ruining today.." He nodded in agreement. "Of course, I was just thinking the same thing." He said softly and quietly. His rubies looked back to scan the crowd once more, as another form came out. A silvery male. Was he the one who had gotten this all together, the father of the girls? He sat solum next to his mate in silence as he waited for the ceremony. Only time would answer his questions.

Soon came the other two boys, one with a woman of his own and her coloring was anything but normal. A split woman? Interesting. "Aunt Themis, Uncle Mabbit. It's nice to see you both. Deimus, it's great to see you too. Are you excited?" Helius spoke, Mabbit smiled to him. "It's nice to see you too Helius, we're very excited and very happy for you and Demius as well as Wisteria and Yesimire. Wonderful couples you guys make." He said to his nephew. "Aunt Themis, Uncle Mabbit. It's nice to see you both! This is Luna, she joined not too long ago and has.. honestly captured my heart." Mabbit smiled at the pair. "Hello Paeeon, it's nice to see you as well! And it's nice to meet you Luna." He said to them before his attention was grasped by Kratos. "It's good to see you, Themis. How are you Mabbit?" He smiled, another war man. "I'm doing well, thank you Kratos. How are you? I'm glad to see you." The wedding was beginning to fill out. He looked to Lucaya, sitting like a bird perched on a stone. Why did she have some sort of familiarity to him? Sure, he'd known of her in Blossom . . . But something was different now seeing her face to face.
