Until the end of days

The Hallows had been in preparation mode for the upcoming nuptials of Basilisk Fatalis and his fiancée Ignita since the day the reigning Warlord had come to make his requests. Artorias himself had personally assisted with the hunting and fishing to provide enough food for the reception to follow, and Briar had orchestrated all of the organization and gathering of florals from their gardens and the nearby God's Garden to make the venue special. Basilisk had chosen to have the ceremony out in the Wildberry Grove, so that's where Artorias was currently, getting the final touches done on the wedding arbor set up in a spacious clearing in the grove beneath a canopy of vibrant orange, red, and yellow leaves and surrounded by the sweet fragrances of ripened fruits. Bright blue delphiniums and delicate white honeysuckle was wound through the lattice arbor, the colors chosen specifically by the bride and groom. The weather had thankfully been dry the past couple of days, the late autumn rain holding off enough to provide them with a clear if not slightly cool evening for the event. Inside Hearthstone, the last of the preparations for the reception were being made and overseen by Briar. Things were going along smoothly.

Out of respect for the marrying couple and to make sure all attention was on them, Artorias had foregone any opulent formal attire. He did not wear his crown or carry Embershard. Instead, he simply wore the deep orange sash that had been part of his wedding attire some years ago, representing the Hallows’ colors with his family’s crest on the brooch holding it around him. Today was Basilisk and Ignita’s day; he would never upstage the guests of honor. Satisfied with the quality of the set up and work, Artorias assumed his position beneath the arbor while he waited for his nephew and their guests to arrive. In truth, Art was both excited and a bit nervous. This would only be his second time officiating a wedding and he hoped he did well for the happy couple. It wouldn’t be long now before the ceremony began!
