THE WEDDING

Centuries ago,

Zelda was dressed and prepared to be joined by the only man apart from her father who could die for her.

As she stared at herself in the mirror, she smiled. She couldn’t wait to see Kamaz’s reaction to her dress and her look.

She ran a hand along the frontal part of her dress as she touched the pearls attached on her waist.

But as she turned to her side, she wasn’t seeing her reflection anymore, and instead, the vision that had been haunting her thoughts for days began to play.

Her heart began to beat erratically and she began to hyperventilate.

Her skin went out cold and partly pale – all thanks to the extra things that had been used to enhance her features or she could have looked completely pale.

A hand turned her around from the mirror.

It was Tema and she found Zelda shaking with tears ebbed in those purple orbs she had also come to adore.

‘‘Zelda, are you well? Heavens, speak to me!’’ She said before pulling Zelda to herself and hugging her.
