RAE POV (June 2020)

I looked at Nash with a startled realization. He was wearing a goofy smile and I leaned up and gave him a kiss. I decided there was nothing we could do about it tonight. I would rather just enjoy the warm contentment of making love with him. I jumped up and brought over the champagne and food. We then enjoyed feeding each other.  After our snack Nash asked, "tomorrow can we return some of your equipment we got? Let us exchange it from one man camp bed and small tent to a two man camp bed and larger tent? I dont want to spend anytime away from you. Maybe even buy a double sleeping bag.

"Nope." His face fell in disappointment. I giggled and said, "I will turn my tent into my Chakras Meditation and place we talk with our grandparents. Then sleep with you at night."

Nash countered, "How about we return your smaller tent and get a 4 room tent. We turn 1 room into meditation and spiritual guidance room; 1 into our room; and the other can be a room you can sleep in if you ever need privacy; and last room is the open room for student meetings. Then I will cast a spell that none of our sounds from inside out tent can be heard outside by others. Since you are a loud lover." My face went bright red and Nash laughed at that.

He then pulled me to his chest and kissed me again when I agreed. He reached over to grab a condom and realized the box wasn't opened. His face looked surprised and said, "we forgot the raincoat last time. Do we use a condom or let it be in faith hands? I have only had one partner in the past and always wore a coat with her. We broke up 3 years ago when we realize long distant relationship wasn't for us. She is now engaged. I know I am clean. It is too late to do anything about it tonight and I did love the feel of you." I giggle and pull his mouth down to me. We went for round 2 and 3 before we settled down to sleep the rest of the  night away and the box remained unopened.

The next morning we ate breakfast in bed. Then brought back the tent and got the one Nash wanted. Plus I grabbed a queen size self inflated air mattress.  Then on the way back to the hotel we went by the drug store. Nash stopped and we went inside. He looked at me and said, "Do we get the morning after pill or a pregnancy test?"

I gave a sheepish grin and said, "do you want kits with me? Honestly, I would rather be married before we have kits."

He then says, "stay right here and I will be right back." He came back with a bag in his hand., "Close your eyes. I close my eyes and I hear the bag wrestle in his hands. "Open them."

I gasped when I see him on his knee and holding a box of kids rings in front of him, "This is all I could find on short notice and after this we can go get a real one. Rae Michic Ulima Conner Wylie O'Leary will you be my compeer from now until eternity? Fly away with me to Las Vegas and we can be married by tomorrow morning?"

I grab the rings and scream, "yes, I will marry you." Then I grab a purple one and slide it on my pinkie finger. Then kiss him.

He grabs like 5 different pregnancy test and carries them to the cash register. She laughs when she sees how many he was buying. She hands it to him, "congratulations." They go back to the hotel and pack up to head back home. Before leaving the hotel we tried one of the test but I came back negative.

NASH POV

Once we are back home I lock myself in my room. I call cousin, Suzanne who operates a chapel at Las Vegas. "Hello Suzanne."

She said, "hello Nash. I have been waiting for your call. I already have already set up the ceremonial circle in my gardens by the lake; I have a Wiccan priestess who is also a judge whom can legally preform your ceremony; I have a special wedding gown set up that will work in both of her forms; I reserved rooms at 3 different bed and breakfast that can accommodate family and friends; everyone can check in tomorrow starting at 2:00. I booked a private plane from Moonville Airs who will fly everyone down tomorrow. Tell the ones who are coming to your home to be there at 9:00. Make sure you tell Grandma to be at the airport at 9:00. Otherwise you won't leave the airport until after 11:00. As it is she still won't get there until 10:12am, but everyone else will be on the plane waiting for her (when grandma isn't around tell the other guest the time is really 10:00am, but grandma is always running late); the priestess will meet with you and Rae at 3:00pm tomorrow; I have a dinner Buffett set up for 6:00pm. Then the next morning I have a day of bride pampering going on while you and the guys are at a casinos. Then you will be at my gardens at 6pm dressed for the ceremony; your outfit, Nicholae and Jeremy's outfit will be in the groom suite at my house by 4pm. Then at 6:00 you will be married by 3 different people- the priestess to make it legally binding; her Enock and Grandma Isabella. The last two will also bless this marriage. Oh and their was a box that came in today's mail. Go grab it and open it privately. You will need it within 10 minutes."

I started laughing, "Suzanne you always amaze me. Is there nothing I need to do?"

"yes bring your candle to summon Enock, Enuck and grandma. We will summon them right before the wedding ceremony. I laughed and she continued. "I notified everyone but the ones coming to your house. They were told to be at the airport by 10:00am. There were a few who I told to be at your place at 4pm I knew you would like to tell them yourself. I already have a catered supper that will arrive tonight at 5:00pm at your place. Also ask aunt Mary to take care of the old and borrowed.  Ok see you tomorrow. Bye." Then she hangs up.  Just then the doorbell rang and I looked at the clock 3:56pm. I laugh and hear Rae welcoming our surprised guest.

I sneak out my window and run to the mail box. I get out the package Suzanne told me about. I run back and sneak back in.  I open the box and see the ring set I had been looking at online. I say outloud, "thank you Suzanne. You never cease to amaze me." Then I go out on my best suit and turn on the intercom and have the song  true companion my mark Cohn

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I walk into the living room where I see Jeremy, Aunt Mary, Grandma, Erma and Nichalae sitting beside Rae talking. I walk up to Rae and pull her off the couch and kneel down in front of her. Pull the box of rings out of my pocket and open it up. "Will you be my wife- my compeer- my happily ever after?"

She has tears running down her face and pulls me to stand up. She kisses me and says, "yes." Then we start dancing to the song. While I keep kissing her. When the music stops I place the ring on her finger.

I look at everyone who is there and say, "be at the Moonville Airport tomorrow at 9am. Suzanne has already booked a private plane. Tell everyone who want to be at the wedding to be at the airport. My cousin Suzanne already has everything set up. We see the priestess tomorrow. Oh and Aunt Mary she said for you to bring the borrowed and blue." She nods her head.

The woman all move forward as one to look at the ring. I look at Nicholae and say, "You have to be there. I would like for you to play a very special role in the wedding if you will agree. Then Jeremy I would like to know if you will be my best man?"

Just then the doorbell rings and I let the catering company in and they set up our special meal while I step outside  with Nicholae's and ask him my special request which he agrees to. Then we head inside to enjoy our private family celebration.

RAE POV

The next morning at 9am Nash and I drive my Jeep to Moonville Airport. We are there by 9:25. We see others have arrived. There were 42 family and friends who were already loading their suitcases on the airplane I realized the only humans here were Erma, Eve and Ethan. Everyone else was  either witches, werewolves (are pilot and stewardess) and vampire.  Promptly at 10:12am grandma steps on the plane. I sniff the air and look toward the entrance way. I see my Nock (mom) and my three siblings getting on the plane. I jump up and over Nash and ran to them. We hug and start talking in my native tongue to them. I hadn't seen them in a while. How did they know about the wedding since I knew they did not have a phone. 

"It was one of the grandchildren of Wylie, Joanna who came. She brought us to the city for shopping and then to the airport. This morning I was met by Cassie at the airport. I was disappointed I did not see you until she told us that you did not know about us coming. She said Suzanne saw us as an uncertainty because blackness covered our coming."

"Are the Obsidian and Raven's giving you trouble again?"

"Actually they haven't since your Enock's death. We have been preparing and training since we don't trust them. But no more talk about them I heard you found your compere?"

"You know what a compere is? Emma had to explain it to me. Why did you not explain it?"

"It is forbidden to discuss it unless there is a compere couple actually together. As soon as Kitsuni finds a compere the legend of them is made known to their family member in the land of dreams. We can only talk about it with those who are told about it in their dreams."

Emma walks up to the group and in Kitsuni says, "hello Firas."

Firas turns toward the voice and gives a puzzled looked and sniffs the air. "Emma?" Then the two are hugging. "You're the Emma who told Ulima about comperes? How did you know about comperes?"

She smiles and says, "I have known about them since I met your sister. She was my compere and I always considered her death my fault. She stayed home that day to go visit me when I was home sick in bed. If I hadn't been sick that day we both would of been up in the mountains playing. We even knew as children we were comperes."

I exclaimed, "you did not tell me my aunt was your compere."

"It was not your fault. She had gotten into trouble that morning. She could not even go see you. She was grounded and was sent to the meadow to gather baskets of flowers. While there one of the Ravens found her.  My Eno and Enock told me about her death. Which is why I always feared wolves."

Emma looked surprise, "I always thought her death was my fault. It was because how upset I was about her death plus how aggressive the Obsidian and Ravens had become my family moves here."

Just then Nash came up behind me and wrapped his hand around me, "who are these people?" I introduced him to my family.

I leaned over and gave grandma Osborne a kiss on the cheek and said, "thank you." Then we all settle down in our seats and took off to Las Vegas.

When the plane landed in Las Vegas we were met by Suzanne and she had charted 4 stretch limousines to take us to our various bed and breakfast or her house. I had Suzanne, grandma, Mary, my family in my limousine. She had Nash, Jeremy and Nichalae along with other family members in another. She told Nash, I dropped my car off at the bed and breakfast your staying at. I already place my address into the navigator and  it takes about 10 minutes to get to my place. See you at 3. Then she whisked us away. "Suzanne, you did not tell me that Nash wasn't coming with us. You did not give me a chance to say goodbye."

Suzanne laughed and said, "newlyweds or soon to be ones. You will see him soon. FYI- after supper tonight you are coming back here and won't see him until the wedding. They say bad luck for bride and groom to see each other the day of the ceremony."

We got to her home we were all given rooms and settle down. I saw it was 1:47 and laid down to take a nap. Suzanne came in and woke me up and said, "time to get ready. Here is the outfit for you to wear for your meeting with her and dinner tonight." I looked down and saw it was cute pink floral dress. I got up and dress. Then threw my hair into a messy bun. Suzanne then escorted me down to a patio where Nash and the priestess were already sitting on one of the smaller sofas. Nash gives me a kiss on the cheek and we both sat down by the Priestess.

She looked at me and stared deep into my eyes. "This union will have my blessing. Suzanne bring Nash's candle here. Tell the others to join us."  I watch her leave the patio and then see 11 elderly men and women walk in followed by mom, Aunt Mary,  grandma, Jeremy, Nicholae and Erma. Nash quickly rises and bows his head. I start to stand to follow his lead, but the priestess lays her hand on me. I look at her and she indicates for me to stay seated. I was confused. Who were all these people. They walked in and headed to the seating around the firepit.

Suzanne walked in and set Nash and my candle down along with others along the edge of the fountain and various areas. She waved her hands and all candles lit. Then she left. Once the door closed everyone sat down. I was startled when the couch we were sitting on lifted into the air and sat down in the clearing. I then noticed our couch enclosed the circle.

"Nash and Rae," the priestess says, "I am sorry we brought you here like this. This week will still be a week of celebration for you, but we needed a private meeting of the witches council with you. What we discuss here today will not be discussed with anyone else."

"We need to know about the Obsidians and Ravens. Up until a few days ago we thought the Obsidians were no more. Before we get into this we need to give you a chance to greet some whom you have not seen in a long time." She then says a few words I could not interpret and ghost began popping up. I saw Eno greeting her parents. Emma was greeting a Kitsuni whom I figured was Enu Samue. I saw Nash being engulfed in a hug and it was his parents .  Then they turned around and hugged Mary,  Cassie and walked over to me and gave a hug. Plus the council was greeting a couple others. I even saw Nicholae greeting a red head.

The priestess stood and everyone got quiet and sat down. "I want to say everyone who is here today will be here until after the wedding reception. The council has cast a special spell so all who are here can witness the joining of this union. None of you ghost will fade or grow tired as long as your on this property. This is why the wedding and reception is being done here. She turns to Nicholae and says, "I know Nash asked you here for a special reason."she turns to me, "Nash had asked Nicholae if he would let your Enuck possess him so he could walk you down the aisle." Then turns back to Nichalae. "Now you and Jeremy will be best man and groomsmen."

The oldest looking witch stands up, "as the magnate of the witches. I should of realized that the darkness I been feeling were the Obsidian Coven. Therefore only known to us who are here is I will be stepping down." gasp our heard from the group. "We will not officially announce it to anyone until the Obsidians are all round up and destroyed. We will let them think I am growing weak and make them think they can take away my power.  This person is already a strong witch. He will become twice as strong and be able to keep it hidden. 

Prior to be sharing whom it will be there is one thing Nash will need to decide.  You are also a strong witch with many gifts."

"Many gifts? I can only talk with the dead and guide them out of pergitory."

" This is why it is time  for you to know what each gift is...

     1.  Gift to talk with the dead and help them crossover out of pergitory.

Your other gifts will unlock when you are blessed after your ceremony by Isabella and Aayda.

     2. The gift to see the truth when one lies to cause harm. Example if Rae did not tell you the truth because she has a nice surprise for you- like a birthday party. You could not see it. However, if you came across someone who planned to break in and steal something you would see that lie if they told you no I did not plan to steal any thing.  This gift will you know about this person treacherously action.

     3.  You will loose your humanity and transform into a 9 tail Kitsuni if you decide to let your union be blessed by Aayda after you exchange vows tomorrow. [if you decide to be blessed you will loose your witches powers, but still have your gifts.  Plus you will have the power of the 9 tail Kitsuni.] You will grow your tail power at the same rate as your compere. You will no longer have of the Osborne power, but your kits you have will be the first ever duel linage Kitsuni. They will have both powers. It will be your love that keeps them from being dark.

    4.  Your next gift will make it possible for you to physically go into pergitory. Once you transcribe the ruins scrolls you find you will be able to bring people to and from pergitory. The Obsidian Coven has brought for a demon who can take live beings in but cannot bring them out. So they feel they got the perfect prison for anyone they placed there.  Your job will be to rescue them. Then my replacement  will take them to a village being build between Moonville (the werewolf village) and Ghosttown (a vampire village) This town will be called Denville. It will be where Rae's Family Den will move. Those who are guided out to you will be safe there.

     5.  This last gift will be one you use with great caution.  Those who died and are in pergitory you can decide to bring them back to life.  They also will end up at Denville until they threat has been illuminated."

He then floats in the air above the fire, "oh Mother Earth- I fall upon you to pull my power of fire and place it in this orb." You see large flames leave his body and lands within the bigger orb. In the smaller orb you still see a spark go inside it.

"Oh Mother Earth I call upon you to pull my power of wind to leave this body and pull within this orb." You see a tornado come from his body and lands in the large orb. Once again you look and see a small gentle breeze  blowing a leave gently with a circle.

"Oh Mother Earth I call upon the power of earth to leave this body and pull within this orb. You see a mountain of dirt shoot of his body into the big orb and some drop below and is caught by the smaller orb.

"Oh Mother Earth I call upon you to pull the power of water out me." As he talking each witch that is there shoots some of their power into each orb.  The magnate starts to fall toward the earth. Nicholae uses his speed to catch the Elder as he falls toward the firepit. He grabs the small orb and pushes it back within the Elder Magnate. He sees the big one is becoming unstable without the Elder controlling it. He kicks it and it shoots across the circle and goes into Jeremy. "Thank you Mother Earth for guiding the power where it needed to be. Please set me down." Nicholae complies, "Now you all know this has our Mother Earths blessing. She guided the orb where she wanted it to go. We now have a wedding to enjoy.  Next witches council  gathering will be in  Mystery Spells one month from today. Jeremy between now and then will have me as a guest in his home while I mentor our youngest leader in his new role. The council headquarters will be in the Mystery Spells School of Magic which we are going to purchase the two properties on the far side of Nicholae to form."

"You won't be able to purchase them. It is property help by the Templar and they refuse to sell it to any type of species."

"It will be humans who buy it. The O'Leary family has agreed to purchase it for us.  Then they plan to move to Denville. We cannot leave them unprotected from the Obsidian and Ravens. They will be protected by the wolves of Moonville; the Kitsuni of Denville;  the vampires of  Ghosttown; and witches of Mystery Spells. As well as Nicholae and his family."

There is a knock on the patio door and Suzanne walks outside to us, "it is time for everyone to get refreshed. The rest of family will be arriving within half an hour."

That night everyone eats a nice buffet meal and enjoy everyone's company. When it was 11:30 the groom was kicked out of the home and it was mass exodus as they all clambered into their limousines to head back to their bed and breakfast.

Suzanne stops Nicholae from leaving. She send him to the garden cottage where he can enjoy the night with Rachel. He will get a chance to bring closure to this relationship.
