Anya takes the wine over to the other gifts, while a knocking gets Durlan's attention.
Drat, guess it'll have to wait, it's showtime!
Durlan and Anya take their places alongside Gharri, the groomsmen, and the other priests of the temple as the bride's procession begins. First, the honor guard of two rows of Purple Dragon Knights in full dress uniforms (and plate) enter, halberds in hand, and stand at rigid attention along the main aisle. Then the flower girl enters, sprinkling flower petals liberally along the aisle. Then enter the bridesmaids, each in purple dresses and wearing wreaths of lilacs. You can see from your program of festivities that the bridesmaids are fairly high-ranking people in their own right: first is Alasalynn Rowanmantle, whom you learned before is the lord of the city of Tilverton. Next are Tessaril Winter and Myrmeen Lhal, lords of Eveningstar and Arabel respectively. Following them is Shaerl Amcathra, cousin of Alasalynn and wife of Lord Mourngrym Amcathra of Shadowdale. Finally is the maid of honor and newly-appointed head of the War Wizards, Caladnei.
At last, the moment comes. In a white gown trimmed with purple and amber, and escorted by Lord Sthavar of Suzail (all in full dress uni and plate), is the princess. The oohs and ahhs you hear around you are well-deserved, as the the things you have heard of her beauty prove to be no exaggerations. As the music plays, you can only think of how lucky a son of a gun Gharri is to be soo to be wed to a rare beauty as her.
However, soon another thought enters your mind, the recognition that someone has apparently lit your right arms on fire, or at least it feels that way. As the princess reaches the end of the aisle and approaches the altar, the sigils on your arms have picked a markedly inconvienient time to come to a new and burning life, and they glow now with a blue light so bright it shines through your clothes. And then the words enter your mind, a powerful and near-irresistable command:
Kill the Princess, her groom, and all who stand in your way!!!
