After the arrangement with the sect leader succeeded, she led me to the nearby flower garden to regroup with elder Laila and Liliya.
After nearing them, the sect master took one hand for each of Liliya and mine and put them together before saying them with a jovial giggle.
"From henceforth, you two are engaged to each other with the two witnesses as I, Nereida Clariluz, the sect master of Celestial Yin Sect and…"
She paused for a while and looked at the elder Laila, who understood the signal and added.
"And I, Laila Clariluz, the second elder of the Celestial Yin Sect, presiding over this loving union."
The two witnesses muttered a complicated chant, and I sensed a wisp of stellar energy, each exiting the two women and getting imprinted on the clasped hands of me and Liliya.
After a moment, the brightness of the energy dimmed, and I found a mark that looked like the outline of a serpentine eye: eyeball and slit-like iris.
