You readied yourself before walking down the aisle. You were waiting for this moment for all of your life, the day you were married off to another royal that hailed from a kingdom far from Lavalshall. Even so, your mind wandered elsewhere... Your childhood best friend from all of those years ago.
He kept you company, told you stories, ran around the grounds hitting each other with sticks pretending to be pirates fighting on a ship. He stole you away from the servants who were supposed to watch you, letting you taste freedom like you never had before.
As you reached the alter, you smiled blanky at your soon-to-be betrothed. Get yourself together, you haven't seen Caspian Syrah in years, not after he left to be a pirate himself.
As your lips formed to say the words: 'I do' the hall's doors burst open.
With a smile, your childhood friend approached, all the memories flooding your mind once more in an instant. He looked as if time hadn't affected him at all, his grin was plastered on his face before it faltered slightly seeing you up on the altar.
