"This is possible?"

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.

And Mother...Mother! The embroidery wasn't just beautiful--it was alive! And by alive, I meant they seemed to flow and move like those optical illusions. The leaves and the flowers along the hem looked like they were rustling in the wind, and I couldn't help but stroke the Great Tree embroidery on the sash.

"It's so pretty..." I sighed in awe, feeling like hugging the fabric, but was too afraid to damage it. I didn't even let Jade touch it. "Am I really going to wear something this pretty?"

"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?!
