We--me, Zia, and Arta--were huddling around a fabric that was my druid-style wedding outfit. Amarein had visited again, bringing the outfit that had been specially embroidered by the druid.

"Of course!" Arta nodded while huffing with pride. "We've poured everything--blood, sweat, tears, and tons of money--into this so you will be the most dazzling flower in the entire world."
B-blood too? What have you been doing, Arta?!
