The musicians started playing music on their flutes and fiddles, as young elf boys and girls danced their way up to the palace. Anastasia loved it and felt like dancing with them. There was magic in the air. Gold and silver dust sparkled around them as if falling from heaven.
"This is a match made in heaven, Princess Anastasia. Look at all the gold dust that the gods are sending your way."
Anastasia was astonished and looked at the old woman who was also walking with her.
The woman blinked and added, "I have witnessed many weddings, but not even a dozen where the gods have approved of the union. And by gods I mean the spirits of elves who have relinquished their lives for a world of peace."
