An hour later, Celestine appeared where the other girls with a smile on her lips.
"There, with this I have done everything I need to do, now we just have to wait" - said Celestine, who was accompanied by Firis.
Firis quickly looked around condescendingly, though she quickly ducked her gaze when she noticed how Celestine was looking at her seriously.
"Don't worry, we've only been talking" - Olga replied as the women began to converse.
Firis twitched her ears as she listened as much as she could about her leader's new husband, who would possibly also become her husband in the future.
Delva was also doing the same.
* * * * *
Night came quickly and the group of women were walking to the most beautiful altar they had ever seen.
The trees were adorned with beautiful neon lights of different colors.
Fireflies were dancing on the white carpet as the moonlight reflected off the platinum altar.
Saya and the others couldn't believe they were about to get married in such a beautiful place, let alone with so many girls by their side.
"It's time to begin" - Celestine murmured as she looked up at the sky.
Olga nodded silently as she ordered her subordinates to begin.
Saya and the others, were speechless as they listened as the Elves began to chant in a strange language.
Celestine and Olga, slowly walked to the altar with a posture worthy of goddesses as the others began to show a strange sense of inferiority.
"Calm down, you have to show yourselves proud, this is the most important moment of your lives" - Olga said seriously while giving a glance over her shoulder - "The [Moon Ritual] is an event that only happens once, it is an eternal boto for us elves, this is an event that no matter what world it is, it will always be important because it is directly related to our origin at the hands of the [World Tree]."
She wasn't lying, the [Moon Ritual] was an extremely important and sacred event, one that told the story of the first elf to be born from the [World Tree], the how he was the beginning of it all, the first [High Elf].
The elves continued chanting while Nol began to write runes with Misery.
Celestine's body began to glow as the runes continued to appear with each step she took. She slowly raised her head and began to speak in a low voice the same language as the other elves.
Olga was silent as she watched the moon shine brightly.
She quickly held out her arms and began to sing as Celestine recited what appeared to be an ancient text.
Saya was in awe of the scene as she could feel how everything around her seemed to distort, a feeling that was shared by the other human girls.
"¡&$#!#ð!" - Celestine exclaimed as the elves fell silent.
"What's going on?" - Miku muttered as she looked around apprehensively because she felt as if something was about to happen.
"Shh, be quiet," said Olga quietly, "Celestine is asking for their blessing from the moon and the [World Tree], she is trying to gain their approval."
"Approval?" - Sakuya repeated, confused because she didn't understand why the woman would be trying to gain approval to get married.
"Because this is part of the ritual, we can go through with the ritual even though they won't give us their blessing, but if we gain the recognition and approval of the Moon and the [World Tree], then our offspring will be much stronger and healthier than would be normal because they would be under the protection of [Yggdrasil]" - replied Olga in a low voice because she didn't want to interrupt the ritual - "Besides, the blessing of the [Sacred Tree] will also benefit us, you could say it will give us a small increase in power, it is even possible that we will get a greater blessing and our abilities will grow explosively."
Saya and the others, stood silently, waiting for some sign as they watched as Celestine stood in the middle of the altar with her eyes closed.
Olga was also watching this silently, hoping all was well, though her expression quickly changed to one of elation, then morphed into a loud laugh that seemed to be on the verge of insanity.
"What's wrong with you?" - Saya asked with a frown, but her expression changed when she saw how Celestine's body was glowing with powerful moonlight.
Nol, Misery, and the other elves, started singing again, only this time much louder and excited.
Olga slowly walked over to Celestine as she sang, only to have her body begin to glow as well after a few seconds.Saya watched this in surprise, though she quickly noticed a small detail, a moon tattoo had appeared on her belly. She quickly looked around to see if she was the only one, though to her surprise, she noticed how the others had a similar one.
The chanting of the elves was getting louder and more harmonious, it didn't matter if they were normal elves, or dark, their feelings were alienated.
Celestine quickly raised her hand and placed it on her breasts, then moved it to her belly and finally to her crotch as she continued to speak in that ancient language.
Olga did the same a few seconds later, only she took a step further. She quickly pulled out a knife and cut off his hand before placing it on the altar and shouting something out loud.
Celestine was surprised, but quickly followed in her footsteps and repeated the same thing.
Nol and the other elves let out a cry of elation as they cried tears of happiness.
"What was that all about?" - Okina asked as she looked at the others.
"I'd like to know" - replied Saya as she shook her head.
"They said, to thank you for your blessing, I promise to serve my husband in heart, mind, I promise to be faithful to him and to accompany him to his end, in this life and the next" - replied Nol as she nodded in their direction - "But Olga-sama went a step further, she promised that her first descendant would work as a priest of the [Sacred Tree], Celestine-sama did something similar, only she decided that her descendant would be the priest of the Moon."
"I-I see," Saya nodded as the others looked at each other because they didn't understand why they had done that after receiving the blessing.
"Appreciation?" - Asuna asked as she cocked her head to the side.
"No, it's more like payment" - replied Nol as he started to think - "No, that would be a bad way to put it because having Celestine-sama and Olga-sama's heirs work as priests would only make their position stronger, not to mention that it's not like being priests is a bad thing, they can live their normal lives and have their families."
"Really?" - Sakuya asked in surprise because that didn't sound like what a priest would do, at least a human one.
"Yes, our race is quite liberal in matters like this" - nodded Nol as he watched the two leaders of the elven clan, finish the ritual - "Anyway, I think it's time for you to get ready because it's time to start with your wedding."
"I can sense a tremendous amount of jealousy coming from you" - Kyōka mused as she raised an eyebrow.
"It's because this is the dream of many elves" - Nol replied with a frown - "Our clans only produce women, and ever since the [Sacred Tree] began to wither, we have lived in isolation for fear of letting our growing lust take over our consciences."
"And how were they going to survive or bring in new generations?" - Kyoko asked with a frown.
"I was thinking of traveling to another world so I could find a savior, but with Lucie's disappearance, I had to put that plan on hold" - Nol answered honestly.
"A savior?" - Saya asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, someone who had impressive vitality and mana to be able to procreate without fear of dying from overexertion" - Nol answered again while cocking his head to the side.
"And how were you planning to find that savior?" - Okina asked this time.
"Easy, if he managed to detect me after traveling in my astral form to the human world, that meant that his magic level should be huge" - Nol answered calmly - "Although now that we are here, I think our plan is no longer necessary, more so when the [Sacred Tree]'s offspring is growing beautifully."
Saya was about to say something else, when she was interrupted by Nol.
"Look, here comes the husband" - Nol muttered as he pointed to the other side of the altar.
The girls slowly looked, only to freeze.
Cloud was walking in nothing but a loincloth of sorts, his dragon's teeth necklace and some strange tribal paintings.
"They don't look bad on her at all" - nodded Nol as she walked away.
Cloud slowly walked down the aisle, ignoring the gaze of the women present.
"I guess it's time for us to get started, you know your positions, girls" - stated Olga seriously as the girls finally reacted to her words.
Each of them stood next to Olga or Celestine, and looked seriously at Cloud who could only let out a sigh because this more than a wedding, it seemed as if he was walking to his funeral.
