Servants stood by their side smiling, loving the ceremony. They held out hand-made colouring pastes. Tulleesh stopped in front of each of these stations, one servant on each side of the aisle. They painted a symbol on their bodies. The last station was Tulleesh's parents. His father stood in front of Monica, holding the colouring in his hand. Despite his typical composure, he had a hint of a smile. "I truly hope you prove to be a loving wife to my son... and a true monarch to my people." He gently painted a symbol on her forehead, in bright purple colours.
