The stars in the sky shown bright over the mountains of north Orthos as Zoatha Natalie Orthos and her groom to be Sam strode down the long outdoor immaculate black marble like stone staircase that winded down from the balcony to the large outdoor courtyard were the press and wealthy were waiting. Natalie walked slowly down the stairs making sure to hold onto the rail to her right and the waist of Sam to her left as it was hard to walk down such steep steps in heels. As soon as they turned the corner towards the courtyard Nat and Sam were almost blinded by the barrage of flashes from press cameras taking photos for the papers and even some taking video for news reals. Both smiled as the lights flashed in their faces and waved to the press below putting on a good show. As the couple reached the bottom of the stairs the two kissed and Nat put one hand on Sam’s backside grabbing his butt earning a soft moan from him and a playful gasp from the crowd. Sam blushed a bright yellow as Natalie whispered into his ear “that will sure make the papers tomorrow” The pair stepped off the steps and onto the stage were the others were standing on either side of Zaraphrom and his consort Izico Kalalzi sat in the middle of the stage on their thrones side by side.  

The crowd cheered before quieting down as more lights flashed from cameras, Izico caught the crowds eye he weas wearing a beautiful sparkling dress along with the Orthos family tiara, the orthos chocker and the orthos family ladies earing. The set had the same black jewels in gold, and they shinned and shimmered in the starlight. Zaraphram was wearing a humble gold cufflink and a shoulder cape over his dress clothes. The two stood up Infront of their new counterparts with Zaraphram saying to the crowd “I will now do what I promised to my brother I would do as he was bleeding on this very court yard. I Swore that I would take the mantle of lord of the house of Orthos until my niece was ready, now she I ready to make the mantle” It was then that Zaraphram took off his cufflink and cape giving them to a servant who out them on Sam, Izico did the same thing and as the servant clipped the earring on Natallie, put the chocker around his neck and at last put the tiara over her auburn wig. Zaraphram and Izico knelt before the two and Zaraphram said “you are the lady Zoatha and lord consort Zhmeul of Orthos” there then came many flashes of cameras and the crowd applauded Sam looked over at his partner, she had never looked so beautiful and regal. He smiled and said “I love you many lady” Natalie smiled and took ahold of him bending him over and kissing him aggressively, she replied “I love you too consort” it was then that the room lit up with flashes.
