We open on the bower of Callista.

Curtains of flowering vines drape from the trees.

Underfoot is a soft lawn of impossibly green, dewy grass.

and in the exact center rests a massive, fleshy, night-blooming orchid, its petals deep violet and bone white.

As you approached, the flower bloomed wide, and resting inside the cradle of the petals was a serpent, its scales mesmerizing, iridescent, oil-slick color, and its eyes a pure, inky black.

And when it spoke the voice of Callista, echoed not exactly from the snake, but from the rustling leaves all around you.

Now, she had a lot to say, and she had gifts, but remember, one of the last things she said was, be with me, LS, not as my pet, but as my love.

Let us serve each other without impure, selfish motives.

For thee I reserve the most precious gift I have to offer, my heart.

Be wed to me.

I shall share all my power and the realm of Thornhaven with thee forever.

Take this ring and place it upon thy finger and share in the wealth and

treasure of Calista.

And at that point, the snake... nudged a stunning ring of white gold and purple crystal forward on the stamen of an orchid.

And she said, answer me, my love, and answer true.

Now, before I pass to you, Jake the pony goes, which is pony for, is she serious? She can't be serious.

Easy,

Jake.

So it's night.

It is.

And we're very tired.

You're very tired.

So I have my mouth gagged.

I've gagged myself.

You gagged yourself.
