(Other Realm)
Once the last morsel was savored and the final toast was raised, the bustling attendants gracefully shifted the tables aside, clearing the way for the enchanting dance that awaited. Alhanna's eyes met those of Cordelia and Alethia, and in unspoken agreement, they rose from their seats. A hush fell over the room as Cordelia's melodic voice filled the air, weaving a tapestry of ethereal sound that captivated all who listened.
“You know the things I dream of,
The places I have been.
You both accept the person I’ve become,
Your loves a special thing.
You’ve always been there for me,
No matter where I roam.
And whenever we three are together,
Our power is strongly known.”
Alhanna and Alethia, their voices resounding with ethereal beauty, joined Cordelia in a celestial chorus. Their hands intertwined, a testament to their unbreakable bond, as they bestowed their melodious offering upon the heavens.
“You’ve been my sisters,
For many years.
We’ve laughed together,
We’ve shed some tears.
We’ve had harsh words,
And pulled some hair.
But against the world,
We three make a power beyond compare.
Our time together has come and gone,
But sisters we will be until the end and on.”
Cordelia and Alhanna gracefully lowered their hands, their voices fading into silence as Alethia stepped boldly to the forefront, ready to unleash her enchanting melody.
“I served the cake; you poured the tea,
Alhanna dear you always laughed with glee.
We built a house under the trees,
In grown up clothes we played out parts,
Secrets told, we crossed our hearts.
Through all the years, the smiles and tears.
Love was found, as our friendship grew,
I’ve never found friends so true.
I’ll love you sister’s my whole life through.”
Cordelia and Alhanna clasped hands once more with Alethia, their voices melding seamlessly with Alethia's in a triumphant harmony. A surge of raw energy coursed through their beings, an unmistakable force that captivated the onlookers, leaving them in awe.
“You’ve been my sisters,
For many years.
We’ve laughed together,
We’ve shed some tears.
We’ve had harsh words,
And pulled some hair.
But against the world,
We three make a power beyond compare.
Our time together has come and gone,
But sisters we will be until the end and on.”
It was now Alhanna's moment to serenade, her voice poised and powerful as Alethia and Cordelia gracefully retreated, allowing their sister to captivate the audience with her song.
“For happy times shared trough the years,
For loyalty, love, the laughter and tears.
For special thins only you can do,
I thank you for all those things, my sisters true.
Time and space may separate us,
But heartstrings cannot break, and do not end.
I’m proud to call you my sisters,
Happier still to call you my friends.”
Cordelia gracefully advanced, her gaze unwavering, while Alhanna gracefully retreated, seamlessly aligning herself with Alethia, a radiant smile adorning her face.
“The gods made us sisters,
Our hearts made us friends.
Love keeps us bonded,
Threw thick and thin.”
Alethia's lips curled into a knowing smile, gracefully moving forward as Cordelia joined Alhanna, a playful twinkle in her eye.
“Being family lends us permanent ties,
For which I am grateful.
To be by your side,
Through our paths may lead down separate roads,
Our bond will keep us together, this I know.”
Alhanna advanced, her turn once more to grace the stage with her ethereal voice. With a gentle squeeze of Alethia's hand, she stepped forward.
“Growing together,
Was the best for us.
I can’t imagine,
A life without, my sisters trust.
Sisters are for keeps, and forever true.”
As the final verse of the song echoed through the air, their voices harmonized, entwining like the threads of a tapestry. Hands clasped, they formed a circle, a testament to the unbreakable bonds of friendship and love that coursed through their collective spirit. The power of their unity surged, radiating outwards, captivating all who beheld the mesmerizing performance.
“You’ve been my sisters,
For many years.
We’ve laughed together,
We’ve shed some tears.
We’ve had harsh words,
And pulled some hair.
But against the world,
We three make a power beyond compare.
Our time together draws near an end.
But sister’s we will be, and always friends.”
The melody reached its crescendo, and the three sisters embraced one another tightly, prompting a wave of applause from the enchanted forest. The spectators were spellbound by the ethereal beauty of their harmonious voices, which seemed to ripple through the air, soothing the very essence of the woodland. Jarhan, ever the gallant, approached Alhanna from behind, clasping her hand as a melodic tune began to play. With grace, he led her onto the dance floor, commencing their inaugural waltz as husband and wife.
As the guests fixated on the newlyweds, Alethia found solace amidst the embrace of nature, retreating toward the fringes of the gathering. Standing beside the tree line, she observed Jarhan twirling Alhanna across the dance floor, a radiant smile adorning her sister's face. Gradually, others joined in the revelry, their laughter and joyful steps intertwining with the music.
"It has been far too long since I last heard the mellifluous timbre of your voice," a familiar voice whispered behind Alethia, causing her to turn abruptly. Recognition dawned upon her as she beheld the figure beside her.
"Kakaron?"
Her companion swiftly silenced her, his eyes filled with caution. "Shh, only you are aware of my presence. Let us not draw attention at this momentous occasion, your sister's wedding."
Alethia nodded, her gaze locked with his penetrating stare.
Acknowledging her compliance, he took a step back, removing his hand from her mouth. "Very well, we must converse."
