Chapter 4: An Eventful Night

"The Dawold family has your only smith that can use or smelt metal. Well there goes that idea." Grem says, sighing softly.

"What idea did you have in mind, future son-in-law?" Nym asked, looking at Grem as Kali Ebonheart walked through the door.

"Well the magic that I have is a rather unique one so I was looking for places to put it to use to help others and a blacksmith seemed like the perfect thing." Grem said calmly

"What magic do you have? There are a lot that I have seen in 1000 years that might surprise you." Nym replied.

"I have molten steel magic." Grem smiled and said.

As the words left Grem's mouth a small silence enveloped the room and everyone turned to him expectantly, like some unknown miracle was bound to happen to him. "Molten steel you say, hmmm that is indeed a new one and I have no recollection of anyone with it. Seeing as you're a new mage you probably have a lot of questions about magic and how to grow and channel it, am I right?" Nym asked

As the words left Nym's mouth a slight smile washed over Grem's face after being read like a book" Yes that is true, my parents left me a book but I have not the slightest clue about how to progress along the mage path."

"Well you are in luck this week happens to be Kali's 100th birthday and coming of age ceremony which means y'all will be wed and can continue along the path of mages together." Nym smiled joyfully as these worlds left his mouth.

Kali's mouth agape as a blush crawled up her face as she hid behind her small veil. " I have more joyous news about where y'all can go to learn magic but you have to be careful there about your name if the Dawold family catch wind of your name or return they will surely come after you" Nym said.

"Kali, can you let me and Grem talk for a bit please?" Nym asked calmly.

"Of course father," Kali replied, leaving the room.

"Listen up boy tomorrow night is her 100th birthday and her coming of age ceremony, so instead of waiting I want you and her to get married under the ancestor tree tomorrow under the harvest moon" Nym says while gripping Grem's shoulder.

"I would be honored to marry such a beauty as Kali" Grem replied earnestly as he thought about their first moment meeting and the way she led her people in the clearing to fix the forest.

"Very good boy, so tomorrow night it is better to get some rest before your big night and I can fill you in on the rest of the details tomorrow" Nym replied loudly.

Unknowingly to the men discussing her Kali was closer than whether one thought and heard every word of the marriage she never knew about as a blush filled her face and she smiled at the thought of Grem saving the forest but unbeknownst to whether it was so bad being engaged long before their birth really was to sudden she thought to herself.

Grem walked out of the room and began walking to the tree in the center of town and sat on a bench thinking of everything that had happened over the last couple of days before suddenly laughing out loud smiling as he said "Who would have thought I am complete no one farmer from a nowhere town was the lost prince of a fallen nation and my wife is supposed to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen"

As these words left Grem's mouth Kali jumped down from the tree and said "am I really the most beautiful girl you have seen?" a small blush on her face hidden in the shadows.

"You are the most beautiful indeed Kali." Grem said, looking into Kali's eyes.

"You sure have a sharp tongue for a boy so young, since we are bound to be married, come with me let's get to know each other tonight" she looks back at him as she walks away "oh yea and you can forget about sleeping tonight" winking as she turns back around.

Lost for words as the elf walks away swaying her hips as the emerald dress outlines all of her curves and Grem follows in a daze. Kali leads him outside of town to a small pond not too far from where we first met and she sat on a rock and patted beside her. As the unique soon to wed couple sat there she told him tales and customs from this world and he told her about the unique machines and ways of farming on earth. As the night went on the two slowly became more relaxed and enjoyed the night breeze before falling asleep in each other's arms until the sun peeked over the trees.

Kali was the first to pull out of Grem's arms as a heavy red tainted her face, and Grem smirked as he finally woke up with her fragrance all over his shirt. "Good morning, beautiful," Grem says.

A loud voice rings over the tree's as Nym's voice rings out "Kali get your ass back here this minute today is too big of a day for you to wander around the forest playing like some tomboy"

"Coming father" Kali said as she turned to Grem and kissed him on the cheek before hurrying away like a chick in a cheesy romance.

As Kali was sent off to all the elders to prepare for the big day lanterns and shops being closed or making last minute preparations filled Nula village and soon it looked like a completely different place. The day dragged on and someone came to retrieve Grem saying that he needed to be fit for his clothes for tonight's wedding ceremony. They dragged him into a tailor shop where they used a special tree silk and nature magic to accelerate the growth. Soon he was wearing a formal elven suit with an emerald green trim and pale gold embossing.
