Description

You see Keillaio the High Priestess of Eorgina.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is tall and statuesque, and she appears to be in the blossom of life.  She has wildly sparkling dark violet eyes and wintry white skin.  She has very long, thickly waved alizarin red hair held partially back in a sweep of lavish curls.  She has a fair, angular face and lush, deep carmine lips.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a scintillating black diamond diadem, a multilayered overrobe of rich plum and ebony silk velvets, a tailored cloth-of-silver cotehardie, a highly polished firestone signet ring, a lavishly beaded silken purse, and a pair of tall-arched ebony brocade chopines strewn with bright argent accents.

Ceremony

Keillaio sweeps towards you and BRIDE without a word, moving past you in a rustle of fine fabrics, with each step a sharp staccato.  She raises a hand imperiously in a gesture for you to follow her as an attending acolyte discreetly places a small jeweled platform upon the ground.

The High Priestess of Eorgina moves onto the small jeweled platform, allowing her to stand head and shoulders above the assembled.  A point from one of Keillaio's immaculately lacquered fingernails indicates where the two of you should stand before her.

Keillaio lifts both arms from her sides, spreading the trailing sleeves of her overrobe like a pair of dark wings.  Her voice rings out clearly, almost overwhelmingly powerful for the space.  "You are gathered here today, guests of GROOM and BRIDE, to witness the blessing of this union by Eorgina, the Queen of the Gods, through me, her servant."

"Marriage can be about love.  It can be about power.  Marriage may seal a treaty or break a kingdom.  It binds a couple in partnership where one may dominate the other or unite them both to combine their might in the face of the world around them.  It is up to you."  Keillaio's gaze settles on you, blazing with intensity despite her impassive face.  "Either course is a glory unto Eorgina."

Turning to you, Keillaio asks, "Do you, GROOM, take BRIDE to be your united companion in the eyes of Eorgina?"

Turning to BRIDE, Keillaio asks, "Do you, BRIDE, take GROOM to be your united companion in the eyes of Eorgina?"
Success
"To this end, we ask you, radiant Queen, to favor this couple's future endeavors that they may honor your greatness through their own ascendancy," says Keillaio.  She then gracefully bends forward to gather your hands and join them with BRIDE's in her own beringed grasp.

Keillaio casts her eyes upwards just as her palms burst into flames, engulfing the joined hands in a blazing miniature inferno.  It burns brightly for a long moment and then snuffs out just as suddenly as it appeared.

The High Priestess draws away from you and BRIDE, revealing your hands to be untouched by the fire, although her signet ring still glows like an ember from the heat of it.  "Our Dark Queen has bestowed her blessing upon you, GROOM and BRIDE.  You are now married in the eyes of the law and under the all-seeing gaze of Eorgina."

"May you serve Eorgina better together than you did apart.  Now, go forth and rise in supremacy as a couple!"  Her impressive inflection turns the blessing into a command.  After a faint nod of congratulations, Keillaio turns away with calm dignity, stepping down from her platform and sweeping out.  An acolyte picks up the platform and quickly follows Keillaio.
Rejection
"I see," the High Priestess states firmly.  "It seems each will have to seek their power alone," Keillaio continues.  Her voice rising, Keillaio intones, "The radiant Queen cares little either way, all power is hers.  Please enjoy the refreshments laid before you."  She turns away with calm dignity, stepping down from her platform and sweeping out.  An acolyte picks up the platform and quickly follows Keillaio.
