The town was small, but it was perfect- some place forgettable, but would make history all the same. It seemed news hadn't spread as Blaith's army rolled in to the small town of Blackwells at the boarder of Ahjfeld and Bellkrath. It was just like any other army to this place, and they felt it was their duty to bring in and tend to the soldiers. Though it was uncertain how long the army would make camp, it was hard to get any answers from Blaith as he made his way to the only church in the town,which sat on the hill over looking the village.
He could see from its windows how the snow blanketed everything, and it sparkled subtly in the early morning light. It was a strange site, to see peace, and slowly he turned around to peer up at the church's spire. Then he moved, grabbing the large handle and pushed the church open-
And was surprised to find candles were still lit inside.
His boot steps echoed as he moved down between the pews, pausing just before the pulpit when the voice of a priest cut through the silence.
"Welcome my child of Angsar. What brings you to the cathedral of Blackwells?" the priest asked, humble and old.
Blaith stared at him for a good long while, and after a moment, decided he must not know the man, or the man knew him- except this attire surely gave him away as the priest bowed respectfully.
"A Duke of Angsar's land is always welcome here. Feel free to come to me if you wish to pray, or need any other comforts of our Lord."
Blaith remained quiet, and as the priest turned to leave he called over to him,
"Wait."
His voice echoed, gruff as it was, and the priest obeyed and slowly turned around.
"Yes, my son?"
Blaith stared at the man for a good long while before asking, "I need you to perform a ceremony."
The priest, intrigued, thought it over before nodding.
"We could easily assemble a mass funeral-"
"Not that kind of ceremony," Blaith cut in.
"Then...?"
Blaith turned fully to the priest.
"A wedding."
