2 Imbolc 1200
The sun, the celestial body, is one of the reasons for the life of living beings that tread the earth of this world. This world is vast, more than 40,075 km in circumference. It includes several magnificent landscapes, an extremely diversified fauna, and flora. This world is home to many races, whether humanoid and intelligent beings like elves, dwarves, men, dryads, or monsters, whether they are smart like dragons, dopplers, superior vampires, or little or little or no not at all brilliant, which make up the majority of monsters.
But we are here to pay particular attention to a specific region of this world, a region of the world which is called "The Continent."
The Continent is a collection of countries and an empire, the Northern Kingdoms and the Empire of Nilfgaard. These kingdoms and the empire share The Contains not without hostility towards each other and even between them for the northerners.
The Continent has known many wars, conflicts, conspiracies, and massacres. It will learn many more but not today because today is a day of celebration for two people, an assassin and a witch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
The sun has passed its zenith and slowly gives way to the Moon, providing its last lights to a green and restless forest. The forest is usually calm and currently agitated due to a happy event. This event is a marriage between a witch and an assassin, between a member of the Mage Council and a master of the League of Assassins, Yennefer Vengerberg and Saibus Di Vine.
In the forest, a house is built. The house is in full swing because of the wedding. The house is now divided into two parts. The first floor is reserved for women and the ground floor for men.
The atmosphere on the ground floor is quiet. The men chat quietly with each other. There aren't many men, just six. Most are League members except two.
The men are around a table in the kitchen playing Gwent. The players are divided into three, two compete.
The first match pits two older men against each other. Both have white hair. One wears a mage robe while the other wears Wolf school armor. Both are Lars, the leader of the League's Ancients, and Vesemir, one of the witchers of Wolf school.
The second match pits a young, white-haired Wolf witcher against a young, brown-haired man. The witcher wears a white doublet with white stripes. In contrast, the young brunette is dressed in a red shirt and black pants. In addition, the Assassin symbol is embroidered in black on his chest. The assassin and the witcher are Desmond and Geralt, the groom's two best friends.
The last duo comprises two men in their thirties or forties. Both have short black hair muscular bodies. The winner wears a white shirt with a brown leather sleeveless jacket: black pants and forearm guards. The loser is dressed in a white tunic with blood-red trim. The winner is the groom's uncle, Ezio Blood or Ezio Auditore, and a League master. The loser is Leonidas, Desmond's mentor and one of the Elders.
"Fuck Ezio, you win all the time. I stop playing with you," growls Leonidas, banging the table with his fist.
"Haha, it's not my fault you're bad at Gwent. And don't hit the table, or Yennefer will get mad." Ezio replies, laughing at his friend.
Léonidas throws down his cards, gets up, and leaves the house annoyed by his friend's laughter.
"You needed to be so hard on him? You know he's not good at Gwent, although I can't figure out how because he's one of the best tacticians I know, but I'll put it's about the fact that Gwent isn't real combat." declares Lars by putting on the ground a catapult winning the round as well as the game.
"Well done, I never liked this game too much," said Vesemir picking up his cards.
"You don't like this game because you don't have a lot of cards, so you can't make your decks. It's normal to not like this game if you play the starter decks and get beaten by everybody." Geralt retorts as he has just landed a Leshen and won the game.
"Ah, you're lucky to draw this card; otherwise, I would have won," says Desmond
"Yes, but I won," said Geralt with a small smile.
"Well, the girls are taking a long time to get ready. Dusk is coming soon." said Desmond
"Right, they should hurry up a bit if they want us to be on time," replies Lars.
"You know how women are. They always need several hours to prepare." Ezio retorts, standing up.
"By the way, where's the groom? He should be here already." Geralt asks about his friend's whereabouts.
"He said he's finished the final details for the ceremony. So he's waiting for us there." Lars replies to Geralt.
'Tic Tac Tic Tac,' the sound of several heels is heard from the stairs. From there, two women descend and enter the living room. The two women are beautiful, both brunettes with long hair.
The most advanced woman is Diana, the best friend of the groom's best friend and a former member of the League. She is a brunette who has gray eyes a tiara on her forehead. She wears a dark blue velvet dress with red sleeves and gilding.

The woman in the back is a brunette with light blue eyes. She is Tissaia de Vries, an archmage and the bride's mentor. She wears a gold necklace, representing an eagle with outstretched wings. Her dress is long, hiding her whole body. It is dark blue with a white center stripe. Gilding separates the band from the sides of the dress. She also wears a belt set with a blue gem.

"The girls are almost all dressed. Only the bride remains. Let's go, and Trinity and Triss will take the bride down the aisle." Diana declares, leaving the house, followed by Tissaia.
"Finally, the wait has been long," says Desmond.
"Stop complaining and get up," Ezio replies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
The first floor is reserved for women, it is large, but only one room is used.
The room is filled with women's clothes, dresses, blouses, pants...
All of his clothes belong to the six women in the room, who are now down to four. Three women are next to a bed, while the last is behind a screen.
"Come on, honey, we have to go, or we'll be late. Don't you want to be late on the most important day of your life?" said a red-haired woman in her thirties. This woman is Trinity, the mentor of the groom and one of the elders of the League. She wears a red and white dress with gilding.

"She's right. We should have been gone ten minutes already." outbid another scarlet-haired woman. The latter is Triss Merigold, the bride's best friend and one of the youngest witches to hold a prestigious position in the Brotherhood of Mages. She wears an emerald dress with a burgundy velvet bottom. Gold dots line her clothing.

"Don't listen to them. Take the time you need to prepare. My grandson won't complain because he must be as nervous as you." defend the last of women. She has long white hair and a white dress dyed blue and trimmed in gold. This woman is Hecate, the groom's grandmother.

"I'm done anyway." said the bride coming out of the screen. She turns on herself.
"So, how am I?" she asks.
"Gorgeous"
"Wonderful"
"Incredible."
Trinity, Hecate, and Triss respond simultaneously, which makes the bride smile.
"Let's go, " the bride said, knocking the women out of their minds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
At the edge of a waterfall with a purple complexion, in a forest, a young man with black hair with blond tips. This young man is the groom. He wears a black suit with gilding. He stands under an arch in front of a waterfall with purple reflections. The ark is a tree covered with green leaves.

The man is pacing. He looks very nervous and anxious. He walks around, trying to calm himself down, but it fails. The waiting is about to kill him.
"Oh, relax, a little boy." A female voice surprises the groom, who turns towards the forest's interior. He sees Diana and Tissaia approaching, followed closely by Leonidas, Desmond, Geralt, Vesemir, Lars, and Ezio.
"Where are the others ?" asks the groom.
"They're coming, don't worry. It's going to be fine." Lars says, stepping under the arch.
"Thank you for presiding over the wedding." thank the groom.
"It's nothing. It's more of an honor to do it. Even if it's the first time, I've been asked." Lars replies with a smile.
Everyone is in place. Desmond stands on the right side with Geralt and Vesemir. Tissaia is to the left of the arch. Ezio, meanwhile, is in front of Desmond alongside Leonidas and Diana.
The groom and his guests chat for a few more minutes when footsteps come from the forest. They turn to them and see Trinity accompanied by Triss and Hecate.
The three are magnificent but are not the protagonists of the day because behind them walks a young woman with long black hair and purple eyes. The woman wears a long black and white dress. A leather corset holds up her skirt. Its long sleeves are white with straps.

In the middle, the bride steps forward alongside her future husband while Triss takes her place next to her best friend, Hecate. Finally, Trinity positions herself alongside the groom.
Lars then begins a speech.
"Well, now that everyone is present, let's start the ceremony. We are gathered today to celebrate the union between these two people. Two people love each other and decide to spend the rest of their lives together—two beings who will bind themselves before you today forever. If any person opposes this union let him speak now or be silent forever." says Lars.
No sound comes from the guests, but a smile is placed on their faces, even Tissaia, always serious.
"Perfect, now we can move on to exchanging vows."
The newlyweds face each other and hold hands.
"Yennefer, I met you in this forest when a bear confronted you. I had no idea this meeting would change my life. But, you have become an important part of my life and the person I want to spend my time with for the rest of my long life. You are a fabulous, serious, intelligent, cute, caring person. You are the only woman I have loved, love, and will love." Saibus says carefully. These words brought tears to Yennefer's eyes.
"Saibus, you are the sunshine of my life. You taught me to be determined and never give up. You rescued me when we were children of this bear and my father, and I will be forever grateful to you. You are kind, hardworking, determined, loving. You are my life, and I will do anything for you." Yennefer utters with tears in her eyes, making Saibus smile tenderly.
"Excellent, now that the vows have been pronounced let's move on to the exchange of rings."
Hecate then advances towards the newlyweds and Lars, holding a small red cushion with the rings.
Yennefer takes a white wedding ring with an emerald and puts it on her love's left ring finger.
Saibus takes the black wedding ring with amethyst and puts it on his wife's left ring finger. Hecate steps back and puts the cushion behind her back.

"Through the exchange of vows and wedding rings, Saibus and Yennefer have united and are now husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," announces Lars with a smile.
Saibus takes Yennefer in his arms and kisses her. Yennefer approaches her husband and puts her arms around his neck. She deepened the kiss by entwining her tongue with Saibus's. At this moment, the Moon's light which rose during the ceremony illuminates the bride and groom. This light gives a blessed and enchanted atmosphere to the scene. The Moon gives its blessing and approval to this union.
A thunder of applause resounds in this part of the forest. The bride and groom's languorous kiss ends, and they turn to applause. They see their friends, family, and mentor smile at their happiness. Saibus and Yennefer are extremely happy. Today is the happiest day of their lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
After the ceremony, a small party takes place in the house of Saibus and Yennefer. Everyone is around the dining room table enjoying the food made by Hecate, the bride and groom's grandmother. The atmosphere is joyful, all the people present are laughing, drinking, talking, having fun… The party ends late at night. Ezio and Trinity share a bedroom downstairs. Tissaia has teleported home. Trinity, who sympathized with Geralt, followed her in a room. Vesemir, Leonidas, and Lars left to play quietly. Desmond sleeps on the couch while Hecate has taken over Saibus' old room.
The newlyweds isolated themselves in Saibus' parents' former bedroom, now that of Saibus and Yennefer.
Yennefer and Saibus enter the room and immediately start kissing. Both try to dominate the other, but unfortunately, there can only be one winner, Saibus.
"Hum Hum" The two lovers let out moans before stopping and parting their faces.
They breathe softly as they look deeply into each other's eyes.
"I love you Yennefer Di Vine." Saibus said with evident love in his voice.
"I love you, Saibus Di Vine." said Yennefer lovingly.
