In the cave, Freya continued to provide details about the recent events on the planet while Nova rested and Ignis listened intently. The beauty of the transformed planet was evident even within the cave, as if nature itself had embraced the changes.
Ignis, concerned about Nova's weakened state, questioned, "Father, I cannot sense your energy. What happened?"
Nova, looking at his children with a faint smile, replied, "I expended a significant amount of energy in the process of reshaping the planet. Right now, I need time to recover gradually. But, since you're here, Ignis, I would like you to accompany me to the wedding at Eldermyst Estate."'
Freya, understanding the situation, added, "And the rest of us will stay here. We can oversee the construction and training of the twins, as well as the mage squad. You should focus on recovering, Father."
Nova nodded appreciatively and continued, "Freya, you will take charge in my absence. Create a suitable place for our stay and make sure the twins and the mages are trained properly. I'll be back after the celebration. Until then, this planet is in your hands."
Freya, showing her determination, responded, "Don't worry, Father. We will take care of everything here. Just enjoy the celebration and return safely."
With that, Nova and Ignis left the cave, heading towards Eldermyst Estate to join the ongoing celebration, leaving Freya and the others to manage the development and training on the rejuvenated planet.
In the grand hall of Eldermyst Estate on Earth 666, the wedding ceremony was in full swing. Nova and Ignis entered the estate, taking in the majestic surroundings. Nova's eyes were drawn to Emily, who looked resplendent in her wedding attire, exuding a newfound grace and maturity.
Ignis, noticing his father's reaction, remarked, "Father, is that really Emily? She looks quite mature and beautiful in that attire."
As they made their way through the hall filled with elves and Eldermyst residents, Nova spotted a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Emily, talking to Emily's father. Nova deduced that she must be Emily's mother. His attention then shifted to Eva, who was in her regal attire as the ruler of Eldermyst.
Approaching Eva, Nova greeted her, "It's been a while since we've seen each other, Eva."
Eva, observing Nova's appearance, remarked, "You look unwell. Is everything alright?"
Nova proceeded to explain everything to Eva, providing her with a detailed account of the recent events, including the use of the seal and the ongoing preparations by Cynthia and others to open the gate.
Eva, absorbing the information, replied, "I see. The seal was used for that purpose. My grandfather must have known that it shouldn't fall into the hands of those Liberators."
Nova nodded, acknowledging the gravity of the situation. "Cynthia and others are already preparing the necessary elements to open the gate. Now, all we need is patience."
After exchanging thoughts about the future, Nova asked Eva about her plans once the outer plane became accessible.
Eva replied, "I cannot abandon the legacy of my family here.
I will stay until the throne is passed on to another, but I believe my father will explore the outer planes. He always says, 'There is a lot out there. I have accomplished everything I can here.' So, this is what he meant."
Nova redirected the conversation, inquiring about the story behind Emily and Atticus.
Eva explained, "I took Emily as my assistant, and Atticus is the head of the military. They met many times, and gradually, Atticus proposed to Emily."
As the time came for the elders to bestow their blessings on the married couple, Nova approached Emily and offered his congratulations. Looking at Atticus, he added, "Take care of her. She is an important person to me, and I hope you both have a wonderful life and bountiful children."
To commemorate the occasion, Nova presented Atticus with a weapon crafted by Hamrick, enhanced with a light attribute to boost Atticus's light element. Additionally, Nova gifted a ring, forged by himself in the flames of the forge, designed to protect the wearer from fatal blows. Nova utilized all the remaining resources obtained from Ragnar to create this special ring.
Ignis also joined in the celebration, congratulating Emily and bestowing a part of his fire energy as a means of offensive magical enhancement.
The festivities concluded without any hitches, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Emily and Atticus's life as a married couple.
The night continued with joyous celebrations. As the newlyweds, Emily and Atticus, received well-wishes and blessings, the atmosphere was filled with laughter and happiness.
Queen Cynthia approached Nova, acknowledging the grand gesture he made with the gifts. She expressed gratitude for Nova's presence and his significant contributions to the celebration. Max and his sons, including the groom Atticus, expressed their appreciation for the carefully crafted presents.
Eva, with a smile, commended Nova's generosity, noting that the ring's craftsmanship was truly extraordinary. She sensed the dedication Nova had put into creating such meaningful gifts.
Amidst the festivities, Nova decided to make an appearance with Ignis, both wearing elegant attire. Ignis, embodying the essence of fire, emanated a warm and radiant aura that complemented the celebratory mood.
As the night progressed, Nova mingled with the diverse guests from different realms. He conversed with elves, humans, and beings from other dimensions, building alliances and connections for the inevitable challenges ahead.
The celebration served not only as a wedding feast but also as a gathering of allies who shared a common goal – the pursuit of freedom beyond the boundaries of their current existence.
