Chapter 331: Matrimony of Moon and Stars
[Luna POV]
Another week after our dresses were finished and it was finally the day. At the moment I was yet again pacing around at the mansion on my floating island. Over the last few days I had been calling up the people I invited at the times that were requested and they, with the help of Atmos, Fenrir, and Grey, were all waiting at the place we chose for the venue. As I was trying to get my nerves to calm down with the methods Nia told me to use, someone knocked on the door. When I gave permission to enter, mom and Ana walked it.
Luna, are you ready for us to help you get dresses? (Amagi)
YeahHows Tamamo? (Luna)
If you want the honest opinion, shes absolutely stunning. Seeing her in her dress made even my heart skip a beat, so you are very, very lucky Luna. (Ana)
Haha. Ugh, why am I so nervous? (Luna)
Because this is an event that youve been fantasizing about for most of your life and now that its actually here, you want it to go just like you imagined it. Ill let you know now, though, that not everything will go as you want it to, probably, but itll be a happy event all the same. (Amagi)
True, there is always going to be things that are off from the fantasies we have for our weddings, but even then they end happily for us, so its an acceptable thing. (Ana)
That both helps and doesnt. Anyway, lets get me ready. (Luna)
Yes, now, strip so we can get you in your dress and then leave the makeup to us. (Amagi)
I did as I was told and several minutes later I was now wearing my silver-white dress. I stood in front of a tall mirror and though, at the cost of sounding conceited, I looked drop dead gorgeous. After admiring myself, I turned to look at mom and Ana and saw that they both had tears running down their cheeks.
You look beautiful, my little girl. I knew that this day would come at some point, but I just cant hold it back anymore. (Amagi)
She walked over to me and pulled me into a tight hug.
I really tried to be strong, but actually seeing you in your dress made it finally sink in. (Amagi)
*Sniff* Luna (Ana)
Ana was tongue tied, but I had an idea of what she wanted to say. I smiled over to her and she finally couldnt help it and hugged me along with mom. After a few minutes of this, they both let go of me and wiped their eyes.
*Sigh*Ok, lets finish getting you ready so you and Tamamo can see each other. (Amagi)
Sit, Luna, and please try not to cry, none of us want all this hard work to go to waste. (Ana)
Say that to yourself, Ana. (Luna)
Im allowed to be like this, and even then itll be even worse when its Soleils turn. (Ana)
Fufufu. (Luna)
It took us half an hour to finish. I looked in the mirror and was stunned. I never really understood why some people liked makeup, but seeing myself with some made it clear. My hair was done up in a fitting style that complimented my dress. The corners of my eyes had red markings that were reminiscent of Japanese kitsune. My lips were a more pronounced red and I had a faint sparkle due to some face powder. Mom and Ana looked over me one final time before giving me satisfied nods. I stood up from my seat, it was finally time for me to go to my wife.
[3rd Person POV]
In a part of the Divine Domain that was just a sea of red maple trees sat a grove of cherry blossoms and wisteria that were perpetually in bloom. Curtains of purple flowers hung down from the branches of trees while pink petals fell like snow in the gentle breeze. A moderately sized group of people sat around in chairs decorated tastefully to match the surroundings on either side of a pathway that led to an arch made of trees.
The grove was filled with the sound of quiet chatting as the mortals that had been invited looked around at a place so beautiful they could only ever dream of it. These particular mortals had been quite nervous for various reasons, but one of the beings on the other side of the isle had cast a spell that temporarily quelled the nervousness so that all present could enjoy the current event to the fullest. On the side where the gods were seated, most of them were quiet, though the more excitable ones chattered excitedly. Before long, two figures appeared and moved over to the mortal side before sitting down by their respective husbands.
Shortly after that a shining light appeared at the end of the isle and a kitsune with ten silver tails wearing a flowing black and silver dress that was a mix of dress and kimono. It swayed just above the floor as she walked down the center of the isle. She smiled warmly at the people present as she passed by them until she reached the arch of trees. The kitsune glanced over to one of the other gods and she nodded her head. After that the sky started to change. The sun set rapidly and the moon rose until it stopped, perfectly framed by the archway of trees.
Accompanying the moon were countless stars and formations. Two of those formations depicted foxes with ten tails each. They sat on either side of the moon and watched over to scene below them. As the silver tailed goddess stood waiting at the proverbial alter, the other end of the isle shone again. Once the light dimmed, another kitsune stood there. Her ten tails tipped with silver were like a tapestry of stars with an endless depth that drew all in.
She stood frozen at the end of the isle staring at the one waiting for her on the other end. All those present could tell what was on the minds of both of them. The first to awaken from their mutual stupor was the Goddess of the Moon. She smiled her warmest smile she could manage and held her hand out toward her starry counterpart. Seeing this the kitsune slowly started making her way down the isle. Every step she took was accompanied by a twitch of one of her tails. Accompanying every tail twitch was the creation of a bright new star in the sky.
Once the two met at the archway of trees, they joined hands as they faced each other. The two foxes in the sky shone brighter as did the moon. Those that bore witness to this were awestruck by the scene. As this happened, the voice of one of the two could be heard.
{Luna, Goddess of the Stars, Space, and Abyss of Fluff, I, Tamamo, Goddess of the Moon, Gravity, and the Night take you as my wife. I state upon my name that I will be yours and love you for all eternity and more.}
Tamamo, Goddess of the Moon, Gravity, and the Night, I, Luna, Goddess of the Stars, Space, and Abyss of Fluff take you as my wife. I state upon my name that I will be yours and love you for all eternity and more.
{ I swear upon Chaos and Order that my love for you will be undying and I will strive to make you the happiest existence in all of creation.}
Once their vows were made, the two brought their lips together. Those closest to the two shed tears of joy for the two as they have born witness to the journey they embarked on to reach this point. The kiss between the two goddesses lasted for several moments before the separated. Tears could be seen falling from the eyes of each of them. They smiled brightly at one another before embracing one another. The audience of this holiest of matrimonies applauded the two. All present basked in this moment of happiness before those experienced in moments such as these started making their way out of the grove. Noticing this, the Goddess of Space twitched one of her tails and everyone but her and her wife vanished.
[Luna POV]
Tamamo, I have no words that can describe how beautiful you are.
{The sentiment is mutual, Luna.}
I laid my head on Tamamos shoulder and let myself feel overwhelming joy and relief. Joy in what just happened and relief that it went perfectly.
{Was it worth the wait?}
So very worth it. While I wont say I want to relive that moment over and over again, it is definitely something I will remember forever.
{I agree.}
We basked in the afterglow of one of our most important moments to date for several moments before Tamamo spoke again.
{Shall we go and greet everyone that came to celebrate with us?}
Lets.
{Oh, and I hope you like the gift I got for you.}
Gift? I know it defeats the purpose, but if I knew Id have prepared something for you! Why didnt I think of this!?
{Ufufufu.}
Tamamo hugged me tighter and I immediately stopped panicking.
{You are my gift, Luna. Ive waited billions of years for this, so you just being by my side is all I ever need. But, since I know you and how your mind works, I know that you will still hold the feeling of giving me something in return, so how about this? Once were done celebrating with everyone, you give me a night that well both remember for the rest of our eternal lives.}
Fufufu. Oh Tamamo, thats something Ive been planning on doing anyway. But Ill try to make it extra special this time, so look forward to it, my lunar vixen.
{Ufufufu. Lets go then, my celestial vixen, we have a celebration missing its central figures. So, lets make the entrance of all entrances.}
I couldnt agree more.
