Bride of the Snow Moon Flower - Frost
In Aphros, the ceremony of vowing love...
The person you choose to exchange your feelings with...-
...
......
A faint blue smoke flows around the transparent ice of the shrine.
You pass through the door, your pure white dress gliding on the floor.
"You're here," Frost says.
"...Frost."
Frost's lips lift up in an elegant smile as he stands waiting for you, clad in a pure white uniform befitting the prince of the Country of Snow.
He stands naturally with a straight back, cutting a brilliant and impressive figure.
I have to do this right...I want to be a proper lady for Frost.
You look straight ahead at Frost, your heart beating fast.
Frost smiles kindly at you.
"You look beautiful," he says.
"Thank you..." you reply. "You chose the dress for me."
"There's no need for you to thank me," he says. "It's only natural that I would support the woman who becomes my wife."
Your face flushes at his words, so straightforward.
"You look quite different from the time we met," Frost continues. "You've become more beautiful than you were in the time we spent together."
"Frost..."
His red eyes, burning like fire, see only you.
Under that strong gaze, your heart leaps with delight.
He calls out your name, and holds his arm out to you.
Wrapping your hand around his arm, the two of you continue your walk to the ice mirror.
Being able to walk with Frost like this is...
Even the attendants have their eyes fixed on Frost's elegant figure.
I want to be at his side like forever.
You're sure of yourself as you carry that desire deep in your heart.
"Now," the priest says, "approach the ice mirror."
Before long the two of you arrive at the altar, and the priest urges you on.
Couples who want to share their vows look into the mirror, and it reflects the memories they have of each other...
Your breath catches as you and Frost approach the ice mirror...and you are wrapped in a beautifully pure white glow.
The ice mirror glitters as it displays your memories one after the other.
It takes you on a tour through the days you spent with Frost, and your heart is filled with longing.
In the beginning...I was really nervous to be near him. But before I knew it...
Looking to Frost as be stands beside you, you become caught up in his gaze, though he says nothing.
Frost...
You're surprised to see a gentle expression full of love, making your heart leap.
Before long, the light of the ice mirror fades, and the shrine is still once more.
"And now for the words of your oath," the priest says.
At the priest's words, you turn to face Frost, and then...
"Gods of Aphros, who rule over love..." Frost begins. "In this sacred place, I have no intention of standing here and swearing a false vow before you."
"Eh?"
His cloak flutters, and Frost kneels before you.
"Princess of Traumere..." Frost says. "I have chosen you, as my one and only. I swear my love to you for all eternity, and swear that we shall never part."
"! Frost...!"
As you stand there shocked, Frost takes your hand and gently kisses the back of it.
At such a noble gesture, your heart hammers in your chest and...
I want to tell Frost precisely how I feel...
As if feeling some kind of pressure on your back, you slowly open your mouth to speak.
"Me too," you say, "Here and now, I swear to you Frost....The love I have for you won't change."
At your words, Frost smiles.
"Very good," Frost says. "And with that, our vow is complete. Of course, we'll go back to Snowphilia and hold a magnificent wedding ceremony."
He rises gallantly, and holds on to you almost painfully tight.
As if congratulating you and wishing the two of you good fortune, glittering snowflakes begin to gently fall around you.
I'm so happy...
Wrapped in Frost's arms, you feel a profound sense of peace fall over you...and your lips meet again, filled with heat, as you vow your love for each other.
