Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking the ring, he also took her hand and slid it on. Smiling, they were almost done. Just a few more moments and he would be a husband. The thought boggled his mind, and it only made him smile more.

((Another funeral? Yeesh, I don't know if this RP can handle any more! Hah, good job!))

As he kissed her the world seemed to stop. He had though that was the reason, but as he pulled away, he realized it was his brotherly feeling, Xander in Amaya's arms. "No!" Whistling, he grabbed Syrva's reigns as she came up. "Move!" As the horse sprang up the hill, he drew his sword, holding it to Rico's throat as he got there. "No body harms them until I'm done speaking with them." Making sure that all their weapons were on the ground, he let the guards take all but Rico. "You were his helper, practically his best friend and he treated you as such. Why the hell did you shoot him?"

Vivian wanted to cheer when they kissed, but she kept having the worst feeling, horrified as she found they were for good reason. Blinking as Xander was shot, she growled, wishing she had her swords, going over to Amaya and kneeling down next to him. Placing a hand on Xander's forehead, she placed the other on Dariya's hands, closing her eyes as she focused, willing him to heal like she had before with the hawk. She was giving her strength, adding to her, also trying to heal the Princes amnesia. She felt herself growing worn after a couple of moments, but she didn't give, soon moving both hands to Dariya's to help her. "I promised Hector I would make you right, come on Xander! Think of Erica is you can hear me, you better not give up on us. Come on!" She didn't know why she was saying those things, but it made her feel better she though.

Xander was still concious. He wouldn't allow him to pass out. Though, everything moved in slowmotion and he could barely hear everyone. First he saw Amaya helping him, then Vivian. It made him feel bad. He was the one who was part of the assassination. The reason why he could prevent it. Now, they were doing everything to help him. His eyes filled with tears. Regretting he ever came up with the plan. Regretting to have ruined the wedding.
"Please... save your strength... You don't... have to..." He rather would let himself die. For being so stupid and soevil. Plotting to overthrow the throne just for war? Why was it worth it? What was it worth? He deserves death.
But the he saw Erika. His eyes widened for a moment. If he would die, then he won't marry her. He couldn't lose her. Ever since he met her, he forgot all his worries. Like a burden lifted of his schoulders. No, he won't die. That would be the easy way. He would confess to Roran, face what punishment the law would lay out.
"...Don't worry... I'm not...going anywhere..." Xander forced a smill to Erika, "...That picnic will... have to wait..." Then his memory slowly began to return. Though, being wounded and the return of his memory, exhausted him and he fell asleep.
Thanks to Amaya and Vivian, Xander's life was out of danger.

"Because he jumped in front of our target. We weren't planning to shoot him, dear King, but you and your beloved Queen." Rico said coldly and acted as if Roran's sword was near his throat. He knew he wouldn't just kill him. "I will come along peacefully and I expect to be treated the same way as we treated you, King." Rico turned away from the King and walked towards some guards. Allowing them to chain him and carry him away, though the guards awaited the King's order to do so. Rico looked over towards where Xander was laying. It regretted him Xander was hit and he couldn't understand it. Damn it, Xander. What was that about?

As Rico confessed to him, his mouth gaped, his eyes widened, and he wanted to slit his throat. Instead, he let him go, sheathing his sword. "Put them in Keros's cells. It wouldn't surprise me if you knew how to pick our locks, or some secret tunnel passage in Syra's cells. But in Keros you know nothing. Lock 'em up and watch them twenty-four seven."

Turning back to his wedding, at least he was married. Amaya! Tumbling down the hill, he had tripped and rolled the rest of the way, scrambling to his feet as he rushed up to Dariya. Looking at the Striker, she wouldn't hurt him anymore, he was now Keros's King, and Amaya's husband. Pushing a little on her wing, he didn't want to hurt her, she seemed exhausted. "Amaya?" He could tell the Striker was guarding someone, he assumed it was Amaya. "Are you alright?"

Seeing the pained face, he ran a quick examine of her, from hat he could see. "You don't look fine." Sitting down next to her, he kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry your wedding," he still smiled when he said it, "our wedding," some more smiling, but it faded quick, "was ruined." Chuckling, he sighed. "We didn't get to do either dance, now there seems to be no afterparty. And to make things worse, Xander wasn't supposed to be hit. We were." Holding her hand, he placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "Thank you for saving my brother." Standing, he let go of her hand, Leaving Dariya's protection, he knealt next to Xander. Seeing that he was alive, and breathing normally, Roran sighed with relief. "Guards, give me some help." The guards that had surrounded Xander turned in and looked at their King. "We need to get the Prince in a castle. I know there is a carriage somewhere around here. Get him in there and take him to Syra."

Going back to Amaya, he sighed again, taking a deep breath. "Your guards took Rico and the assassins back to Keros to keep them locked up. Make sure they get all the food and water they want, but don't let them out. Xander is being taken back to Syra. I'm going to join him, to be sure he's okay. Whatever you decide to do, I just wanted to fill you in." Leaning down and kissing her again, this one was a bit more romantic. Pulling out, he turned away, but stopped and looked back again. "I love you." Walking out, he got on Syrva, and followed Xander back to the castle. It seemed they would have to postpone the afterparty for the wedding till a later date.

"It's fine. We'll just have to postpone." Amaya said as she kissed Roran back. She frowned a little, hearing that she and Roran were supposed to be killed, but shook it off, knowing that was what came with this postition. She nodded to Roran lightly, and sighed lightly. "I love you too..." Amaya said before she flinched from another wave of pain. After Roran was gone, Amaya just passed out, as well as Dariya. Vince scooped up Amaya and whistled for Crow, who came running. "Make sure the princesses get back to the castle in Keros unharmed. Only Erica has permission to go to Syra." Vince told Niro before he got on Crow and rode off towards the castle with Amaya, while strikers flew down and circled themselves around Dariya. The striker was too big to move, so they would have to wait with their leader until he was consious and willing to fly.

Once Vince got back to the castle, he brought Amaya up to her room, where Kaname was waiting. She chaged the Queen into a black nightgown that hung off her shoulders and then Vince and Kaname put her in bed, with her hands folded across her stomach as you would do to someone who is dead.

Once reaching the Syrian castle, he did a few chores before taking a seat outside Xander's room. Whenever Xander did wake up and tried to leave, he'd be waiting.
