Chapter 147 - FROM DEATH TO LIFE

"Here he comes. Are we ready?"

"Ready!!"

"Roll out the carpet, line up along the side and wave. Go! Go! Go!!"

"Can't I just wait inside with you. I don't like raising my hand during any occasion. It all started at church when the pastor told me to and I couldn't. Can't I just say hi in a different form of…."

"Look kid,I don't know what sob lame excuse you're telling me, but to answer you, the Bible says of us to raise our hands as a sign of respect, praise, and thanks for all He has done. Pertaining to now, Reaper is no Jesus but after all that He has done for you and brought to this town from giving you his mansion and leaving you kids alone, the least you can do is thank him by welcoming him home with a wave. Now get out there and join the others. That's my final say."

"What was that all about, Adalyn?"

"Oh, it was nothing big. It was just a bratty kid giving a lame excuse that since he doesn't feel comfortable raising his hand, he wishes he could portray his thanks another way."

"All we are doing is asking him to raise his hand for two minutes just until the Reaper touches ground and walks inside. Are two minutes really that unbearable for him that whenever someone tells him to do it, he refuses? Ugh, kids these days. When the church tells you to raise your hands and you see everybody else doing it, it is not your choice whether or not to raise your hand because you believe that that portion of the Bible doesn't apply to you specifically. Help me with this table inside. Summer and the others are downstairs showing their thanks by painting the walls and cleaning up here and there."

"What are you kids doing here lining up outside of my house. I thought I told you that if I ever see one of you around again then I'll make sure you never return again. Now get!!"

"Reaper, we are here to show our thanks and welcome you home."

"Wait, what are you doing? Why are flowergirls pouring flowers all over the ground? Who is this? Girl, don't put your arm in mine. Do you know who I am?"

"Sir, I'm here to walk you down the aisle, but first; let my friends tailor you a proper suit."

"Suit? What for? Am I attending a wedding or something?"

"Yes….yours."

"Thank you girls, this gown is superb."

"Agnes, this dress was actually taken from your husband's stash. We found it thrown out and decided to tidy it up a bit. Hold still while I apply your crown and Jezel does your makeup."

"How do I look? I'm so nervous."

"Agnes, the perfection of looks falls upon the wearer not the bearer. Girl, you are to die for. Many others would kill to look as beautiful as you and take your place."

"Many have tried!!"

"MUSIC, MYSTRO!!!"

"Reaper, may I show you to your bride?"

"I'm ready."

"Girls, hurry up. He's walking down now."

"Agnes, just breathe. I'm sure you are a box full of emotions right now, so use them but only slightly. Adalyn has your ring and Star has Reapers. Once you two have exchanged vows and ended, you will ride Atticus out of here. There will be two dragons in the shape of a heart with fire coming out the side. There is nothing to be nervous of."

"Have any of you ever been married?"

"Uhhhhhhh."

"Ummm…"

"Summer has!!"

"How'd that go?"

"Let's not dwell on the past right now. It's the future that counts. If you could follow me, Milady!!"

"Thank you kind sir. Tell me, am I crying?"

"It's natural. Here, so Reaper doesn't see you as a ball of water."

"Thank you. *huuphsnhhphaa!! Blourraaghaeehheheehhh!!"

"Bum ba bum bum bum bummmm!! Bum ba dumum bum bum bummmm!!"

"All rise."

"Star, are you sure this fits in the timeline? Adeheid would've told us."

"Summer, this is nowhere in the timeline or related to our story but can you give me a break. Reaper hasn't seen his wife in for so many years. We have to make it big for him as our way of saying thank you. Now, shh. People are looking at us."

"WE GATHER HERE TODAY TO WITNESS A MOMENT IN TIME. A MOMENT THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HERE TO LAY BIRTH TO THE REUINION OF AGNES AND REAPER."

"Woooooo!!!"

"Get him, tiger!!!"

"You go!! You go!!"

"Wopp, woop, woop!!!"

"SILENCE!!! Agnes, Reaper, I feel silly for asking but do you remember your vows by chance?"

"They must have gone blank. I'm sorry."

"I don't remember mine, but I have a say.

'AGNES, I may be a creature of dust but darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear , we cannot fight it, but must replace it with love.'

"Agnes?"

"Light is to darkness what love is to fear. In the presence of one, the other disappears.

"IS THERE ANY HERE WHO THINK THAT THESE TWO SHOULD NOT WED? SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!

"LET THE LIGHT SHINE FORTH FROM THE DARKNESS TO GOVERN THE DAY!!!"

"Umm, thank you kind stranger for that. In that case, do you two have the rings?"

"Rings? I don't..ouch!! Yes, I have my ring."

"Reaper, please repeat after me."

"Okay."

"Place it on her finger and say what I say. 'Just as this circle is without end."

"Just as this circle is without end."

"My love for you is eternal,"

"My love for you is eternal."

"Just as it is unbreakable, my commitment to you will never fail."

"Just as it is unbreakable, my commitment to you will never fail."

"With this ring, I take you to be my eternal light."

"With this ring, I take thee to be my eternal light."

"Agnes, take out your ring, place it on your husband's finger and then repeat after me."

"I uhhh."

"Ohh, that's where I punched NightMaster and ripped his...I'll clean it up."

"Here's a napkin sir."

"Thank you."

"Ready to try again?"

"Ready!!"

"Okay. Repeat after me. ``This wedding band, without beginning or end."

"This wedding band, without beginning or end."

"Is a symbol of my love for you."

"Is a symbol of my love for you."

"Just as it is made of pure metal, so I give you my pure love."

"Just as it is made of pure metal, so I too give you my pure love."

"Reaper, you may kiss the bride."

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

"GIVE HER THE SUGAR!!!"

"Agnes, I love you and I will always love you. I remember saying that I will love you until death do us part, but even in your death I could not forget you."

"Here is your dragon, Mr and Mrs."

"Thank you, young man. Up on three, Agnes. One…two…."

"Woo!! Hey now Reaper, I saw you grabbing more than the depths of hell there."

"Thank you and I shall be back soon. Thanks girls for making my wishes come true. Glad I could help you with your story and I thank you for helping me with mine. May Gods blessing fall upon each and every one of you."
