-Valindra-
It was a strange feeling I got when I stood in front of the king and became bound to him. The dragons and humans had their own customs of marriage, as did the elves. Our hands were joined together with a white ribbon, which would be safeguarded by the priests in their sacred temple.
If we ever wished to dissolve our union, we would cut the ribbon in half, accompanied by a parting ceremony. The High Priest who bound us together spoke in an ancient tongue known only to those who served the Gods.
Though I had read about these rituals in books and could even translate some of the words, hearing them spoken in person felt surreal. He beseeched the Gods to bestow their blessings upon us and to regard our union with favor and love. It was almost ironic, listening to these words.
