Free World Event: The Wedding of Philip and Kaya Temp'elar.
(This event is written by the writer of Philip, with the permission of all involved. It is set several years in the past and chronologically is prior to Philip and Kaya assuming leadership of JkotoanT)
"It's a big day" came a voice from behind Philip. He turned to see his soon to be father in law, Seven Temp'elar and on instinct bowed. Seven smiled and waved away the understandable formality.
Philip had come into the life of both Seven and Seven's adopted daughter Kaya as a squire and aid in Camelot. He had risen through the ranks quickly for his hard work commitment and loyalty to the Queen Morgan and the Knights of Camelot, Seven himself included. But it was to Lady Kaya that he had shown a deep devotion. A devotion that had turned into love and eventually a relationship.
"We've gone over this Philip. Your going to be family. When you agreed to take Kaya's name, my name and become a Temp'elar any could of conduct compelling you to bow to me or anyone in my family ended".
Philip nodded "your right of course Sir. It looks wonderful doesn't it?" Philip dressed in a simple yet stunningly tailored black suit looked out if the window into the courtyard of Camelot. The ceremony itself was set to take place in one of the main halls and yet the courtyard was decorated in preparation for a spectacular feast and event.
"Kaya may not be royalty, but she deserves this more than anyone". Seven turned to leave a smile on his lips "you both do".
Below a young Calcifer Temp'elar stood as guard to the main hall. It was one of his first official duties as a candidate to be trained as a knight and along with it being a special event for his sister he was determined to do his part flawlessly. Some of the guests, mostly family had already arrived and were seated inside the large wooden hall. Snow, Krauss, Liam and Sera all had taken their seats. The young Neko, Luna was with them but pacing slightly. She wasn't used to being at big events like this and certainly not without her Master, Cals father Seven.
"You look very smart Mr. Temp'elar". Cal turned suddenly to see Queen Morgan smiling at him. She reached forward straightening his sash. "Keep this up and you'll be training to be a knight in no time at all". Cal blushed a little but nodded. "Yes your highness!" He shouted a little too loud. She chuckled "well, at ease. The guests are starting to filter through and we have some very special guests from outside of the kingdom too".
Away from the hustle and bustle of the arriving guests, panicking caterers and proud families, Kaya Temp'elar sat in a tower across the far side of the castle. Well shaded it provided her a cool and relaxing place to prepare for her big day. While She was tended to with last minute touches by a number of servants she already looked the picture of beauty and perfection.
"I hope you do not mind me stopping by before the event". Her father approached from behind. "I wanted to give you something". He handed her a small golden ring with a cross on it. "I have had them made for each of our family but on this day I wanted you to be the first to wear it". She blushed and jumped up hugging him. Seven let his eyes close then released her. He handed her a box "this one is for Philip, but it seems fitting that you be the one to bring him into the family". As Seven walked away the beaming Lady Kaya returned to her preparations. She was soon to be a married woman. And whilst her nerves were evident, so was her joy.
"Introducing, the Osiris family" The young herald duties announced as Anubis Osiris arrived in the hall with his children's. Most of his children ran forward to see their friends from other kingdoms, however Ambrosia stayed nearby him as he left a gift on the table.
"The representatives of the Viking Nation, The Evo family". A tall man and women appeared through the door, the man sporting a long beard and neither sporting a smile. The women turned to her son, a young man of around seventeen. "stay close Agnar. We are here to represent our people, nothing more".
"The representative of Japan, Queen Kury. The young and newly crowned monarch entered with a smile and yet looking no less powerful than the Vikings. She had her own reasons for being here, as well as the celebrations.
"Representing the underwater kingdoms, Princess River and her brother Prince Cove" the two young looking mer folk in human form took to there seats a majesty about them both.
"The Knights of Camelot, and her Royal Highness, Queen Morgan". Queen Morgan walked towards the front of the room her Knights flanking either side, excluding Seven who had far more important duties.
"Please welcome,the groom, Born in Japan now residing here in our fair kingdom, Philip of Camelot". Philip walked towards the alter, his eyes greeting each of the guests one by one. He wore a simple suit though beautifully trailered. Between his birth in Japan and his long standing time in Camelot he had no shortage of design options for a suit. However he wanted his look to be as reserved as possible. Today was a day for his bride to shine. For all of the guests from across the world to revel in her beauty and see her as the perfect flower she was. He took his place, looking up at Queen Morgan.
Finally to majestic funfair Queen Morgan spoke "ladies and gentlemen, visitors from all around our world, please stand for the bride, Lady Kaya Temp'elar".
The guests stood turning to see a proud Seven walking by the hand his daughter. Kaya was a picture of perfection. Extravagant wonder and sweet simplicity in one. Her dress was red and flowing a bold reminder of her vampire roots. Her dress had clear oriental designs as well as traditional medieval aspects found all around Camelot. Slight gasps and sounds of appreciation fill the room as Seven, with one final squeeze released her hand into Philips.
Queen Morgan gave them both a smile. She had been asked to keep the formalities to a minimum by the couple and did so. "Please one and all, be seated. Today we gather with friends and family as well as visiting guests from all around to witness the joining of two people that are the definition of true love. A couple that both contain passion and fierce loyalty, as well as gentleness and kindness. Since the moment I introduced Philip to my dearest Lady Kaya, the look in his eyes told me that he would protect her with his life. Clearly Kaya's father Seven saw the same as he allowed the two to begin courting!" The guests laughed.
"But now we will make this an official commitment from Philip, one that Kaya will be expected to return". Morgan reached down taking the hands of the two and joining them. She wrapped a simple red cloth around it. "This cloth has been embroidered with images key to you both. The cross symbol of the Temp'elar family. The crest if Camelot the nation you called home and Japan, the nation you both were born in. Symbols of your achievements and your struggles and all both are now shared between you both and bonding you together" she tied the cloth knitting their hands together.
"Philip, will you stand by Kaya through good and bad, love and protect her no matter the cost. Will you guide her, treasure her and stand by her side in all ways and forever?"
He turned to face Kaya "I will". He slid the wedding ring on her finger.
"Kaya, will you stand by Philip, give him your strength and support, your wisdom and your love and comfort him through the darkest times?
She looked up to Philip timidly "I will". As she slid the wedding ring on she also slid the ring from her father bringing Philip into the family.
Queen Morgan smiled and took a step back "then I now pronounce you man and wife!"
The crowds erupted in cheers as confetti and flowers fell from the roof and fireworks erupted outside across Camelot. At the back of the hall Queen Kury of Japan smiled and nodded. These where the two people that she had come for, and she would make them the future King and Queen of JkotoanT.
