The adoption happened first because Bova struggled to convince a member of the Baloc faction to officiate for the wedding. Doug, Carter, and Alex signed several parchments. Bova stamped them with a wax seal, and in less than an hour, Doug became their rightful guardian in Greker society. It meant nothing to Carter, and he was sure Alex and Doug felt the same way, which was good because he didn't like the idea that he and Alex were foster siblings.

With the adoption out of the way, they were locked back in their individual prison cells. Eventually, Cholton, a member of the Baloc faction, arrived. He was the only other Greker in attendance besides Bova. The burly, robed man was younger than Bova, and other than a few moans and grunts, he didn't speak a single word. Carter wondered if that was because he disapproved of what was happening, because he couldn't speak, or because of some odd vow of silence.

Once more, Bova was all business and failed to understand that to all of them the wedding was a farce. Leading up to the ceremony, she kept Doug and Kane separate with their cell walls opaque and spoke in a low, solemn voice as if they were in a temple or holy place as opposed to a prison.

After what seemed like way too long, Bova brought down the walls to the cells. Doug was dressed as he always was except for the addition of Bakero's Blade, which was wrapped carefully in a thick hide and hung from his belt.

Kane, on the other hand, looked like a demonic angel bent on both saving and destroying the world at the same time. Her hair was pulled back, showing off her angular face, and somehow the Grekers had found a strapless dress for her to wear. It had a rusty-metallic sheen and contrasted sharply with her pale skin. It was both ominous and beautiful in the way it fit her curves, making her look as feminine as she had when she had taken on the guise of Kenzie.

Alex elbowed Carter in the gut, and she looked at him with exaggerated wide eyes.

"What?" Carter whispered.

"You were staring," Alex said.

"So?" Carter shook his head, annoyed.

"It's rude." Alex pursed her lips.

"I was trying to figure out where–"

Bova coughed loudly giving Carter a glaring look.

Carter rolled his eyes, but didn't open his mouth again.

"Face each other and take hands," Bova told Kane and Doug.

The pair interlocked fingers in an awkward manner.

Kane grunted, let go, and motioned for Doug to cup his hands upward. He did and she gripped the tips of his fingers.

Bova wrapped a silver braided cord around Doug's wrists and then took the other end and did the same thing to Kane's.

"It's warm." Doug jangled the cord so it slid to the butt of his palm.

"It's Galvoryan bark," Bova said.

Carter had no idea what that meant, and judging by the expressions on the others' faces, they didn't either. No one acted concerned by it, but Carter had an uneasy feeling.
