Chapter 8: Guides.

Jonas lowered himself into a kneel before the queen, his movements solemn and respectful. Beside him, the princess mirrored his posture, also kneeling, her expression serene and composed. Around them, the interior of the hut felt expansive yet intimate, with ten imposing Cyclops figures lining the periphery. These were clearly figures of importance, each one bearing the regal and sturdy demeanor typical of Cyclopean nobility. Their eyes, singular and piercing, were fixed intently on the scene unfolding before them, observing the ceremonial proceedings with a deep, unwavering focus.

The queen advanced gracefully, a warm smile illuminating her features. She lifted her hands in a gesture of welcome and authority, capturing the attention of all present. With a commanding yet gentle tone, she began to speak.

"Today, we gather here in this sacred enclave, not merely as observers, but as witnesses to the dawning of a new era, an alliance forged not only in affection but also in the spirit of unity between our disparate realms. You kneel before me as strangers to each other's worlds, one from the realm of men and the other a daughter of Cyclopes, yet you stand poised to blend your futures into one shared destiny.

Jonas, before the eyes of these assembled witnesses, and under the watchful gaze of the ancients who have guarded our traditions and sanctities, you are chosen to enter into this venerable union. You pledge to welcome my daughter, Trin, as your wife. This commitment goes beyond mere companionship; it is a vow to nurture, to protect, and to cherish. Your duty is profound, tasked with the guardianship of her well-being and the flourishing of her spirit.

Moreover, you are entrusted with a responsibility of paramount importance—to meld your lineage with ours, ensuring that the legacy of the Cyclops is carried forward. You shall honor her, respect her, and, above all, plant the seeds of a future that will see the growth of our combined heritage, fostering an heir to stand as a beacon of our continued unity.

Let this union be sealed with the magic that has flowed through our veins since time immemorial, and let it be fortified by the covenant of marriage. Today, Jonas and Trin, you bind your lives not just in the sight of those who stand here, but in the eternal witness of the cosmos. This bond is sacred, an epitome of the highest commitment to intertwine your souls, your dreams, and your destinies forevermore.

Let the power that I, as sovereign of the Cyclops, wield, bless this union with strength, love, and understanding as you embark together on this noble and exalted journey."

As the queen's solemn and powerful words echoed through the hallowed space, Jonas felt an inexplicable warmth envelop him, like a gentle yet profound embrace of magic. Beside him, Trin, too, experienced the same surge of mystical energy, her body visibly shuddering in response to the powerful enchantment. In that moment, a deep and unspoken bond was forged between them; they were now united in marriage, their souls intricately linked.
