A Glorious Wedding

A few days after taking her new ****, Venus was standing in one of the tents getting ready. Several of the Harem girls were fluttering around her like an excited tornado. Some were doing her hair, others working on her nails and makeup. Venus had wanted to remain nude as she always was, but Karuuk had sent a beautiful wedding dress along with orders for her to wear it. As she was preparing, Hayseed stuck his head into the tent and gave her an update.

"Yenmi and Te'Ran are both almost ready."

"Of course they are. Yenmi's wings make a traditional dress hard for her to wear, and Te'Ran probably isn't doing half the things that I'm being put through!"

"Oh but you will look fabulous when we're done," chimed in one of her girls. Venus swallowed the urge to sigh dramatically. It wasn't that she was really upset about the situation, in fact she was grateful. The Harem was all pitching in to help with the wedding, so for now their normal work was on hiatus. She was sure that Yenmi and Te'Ran were both in the same boat with a flurry of caretakers as well. The problem was that she was nervous. Being Harem Mistress had given her quite a bit of freedom, and even having Te'Ran as a casual lover had been no strings attached. But now she was getting married to both of them, and they would have expectations of her. They both accepted that she was going to stay Harem Mistress and still fuck everyone in the Legion, but now she would also need to make sure they were taken care of and happy.

"Where is Songbird? I haven't seen her all day!"

"Oh, she was called in to see Karuuk! I think he wanted her to help with some of the preparations as well my lady."

"Thank you Hayseed. At least he left you for me. I could really use her right now though."

The little Goblin looked pleased that she was glad to have him, but a little troubled as well. She assured him once more that he was doing a good job, and he perked up. In truth, she was very happy with her choice to take him on. He had proved a very valuable asset in the last few days. When a girl was running late coming back to the Harem, Venus could send Hayseed to find her. If minor chores needed to be done, he was more than willing to pitch in and help. She allowed him to sleep in the Harem's tent as well, and the girls had come to adore him. Several sought him out a few times a day to "Reward" him for his dedication as well. He had become something of a mascot or pet to them and the more they lavished him with affection, the harder he worked for them.

When the girls finished with her hair and makeup, Venus gingerly stepped into her dress and was assisted in putting it on. One of the witches had been waiting to help with this part, using magic to quickly adjust the measurements to fit her perfectly. Venus would have to thank Relm later for the assistance her mages were giving. Now dressed and ready, Hayseed went to inform Karuuk so that the wedding could get underway. Oddly enough, Karuuk had wanted the wedding to be as "Human" as possible. Venus believed he was trying to make this wedding easier or more enjoyable for her and she was thankful for it.

A short time after Hayseed left, Karuuk arrived and offered her his arm.

"You look amazing Venus. I'll be your escort since you have no one else. The other girls are already there waiting for you, we wanted you to be last."

Venus took his arm, a little shocked that the Chief himself was going to be giving her away. He led her out of the tent and up the path to where a small stage had been built. On the stage, she could see Te'Ran, Yenmi, and amazingly, Songbird, all dressed for the wedding. Songbird was in a dress similar to her own, but a little less flashy. Yenmi's dress was a simply white dress that was strapless and tied at the back. Te'Ran had gone with the more Orcish fashion of wearing the furs of wolves draped over her. Venus thought they each looked stunning in their own way. Standing beside Songbird was Hayseed, now wearing a bow tie and carrying a pillow with four rings on it. Standing a bit back from the women was an elderly priest that had been captured and made a ****. Once Karuuk had started freeing the slaves, the old man had been among the first. Now he was dressed in his old robes and smiled warmly at Venus as she climbed onto the stage.

"Father Gantz right? I'm surprised they convinced you to preside over the wedding."

"We are all the Divine Father's children my lady. While the Church may frown upon Monster/Human relations, I have had the unique opportunity to see what we can build together. Just look at the gathered crowd my child: Humans, Elves, Orcs, Ogres, Cyclops, Goblins, Satyers, Kelpie, Kappa, Harpies, and more. Some free, others slaves, but all brought together to celebrate this union. The Legion brings change, and while to those who have not come to submit, it may seem terrible, but I see such great hope and beauty here."

The old man's words warmed her heart in ways she didn't expect. It was true, they had over ten different races in attendance here today and it was all in joyous celebration, instead of clashing with blade and magic. In her days as a Shadow Hunter, she had never thought something like this was possible. Now though, she saw that there was hope for a unified nation. Every person, no matter if monster, Human, or Elf, could be brought together.

With that happy thought in mind, the wedding started. Gantz said a few words, and then the Venus's brides were allowed to speak their hearts. Songbird elected to go first.

"I am your ****, now and forever. I hated that at first, but now... Now I couldn't imagine a world without you as my Mistress. I was given the choice of becoming your third wife and I gladly accepted, but I swear myself to you as your **** first and foremost."

Some cheers and laughter followed the statement, and Venus found herself happy for Karuuk's little plot. She did indeed love Songbird, and was glad that while she was still her ****, she was also going to be her wife. Te'Ran was the next to step up.

"I remember when you were first brought to us. Strong, defiant, and yet beaten. You proved yourself as a **** and rose in the Legion because of your merit. It was that same merit that made you rise in my heart as well. I know I'm not skinny like the other two, but even still you accepted me as a lover and have shown me more love and passion than anyone else."

Te'Ran stepped back, and Venus was surprised to see that the She-Orc was actually blushing. Venus knew that she was blushing as well, and tried to hide her face from the gathered crowd. She heard many of them chuckle at her trying to hide, and was thankful that Yenmi stepped up to speak as well.

"We have known each other only a short time, but you looked at me and understood me without any words even being spoken. It was like you looked into my very soul. From that moment on, I have been captivated by you and I want us to have a long and happy life together.

With that, Gantz instructed Hayseed to give out the rings. To Venus, he gave a golden ring with diamonds around it. Te'Ran recieved an onyx ring with emeralds in the same fashion. Both Yenmi and Songbird got silver rings, but Yenmi's was opal studded while songbird got sapphires. Once each woman had on her ring, Gantz called for Venus to kiss her brides. With hoots, cat-calls, and cheers, Venus took each woman into an embrace and delivered to her a passionate kiss. They were then declared woman and wives, before Karuuk stepped up.

"Everyone, this wedding is a symbol of what the Legion is. We are a mixture of the best and strongest races in Fyrona. Together, we will build a great and powerful nation. But that is later. Today is a day to celebrate. So now that the human portion of this even has ended, its time for the Orc portion. And as everyone knows, that means lots of booze, food, and sex for everyone!"

A cheer rang out, and Venus found herself yelling just as loudly as the crowd. Beside her, Te'Ran chuckled and said "Its not a party without an orgy."
