This was supposed to be a normal mission, a simple one, but no, it wasn't, because it never is, you all should have known as why would the Guardians send you three? Some of the top lanterns ever?

To explain, the mission was just to help a planets as an invasion was launched on the royals of the planet, that attack happened, they had you three some 'battle bonds ritual' before the fight, some tradition they had that they didn't have time to explain till after. You all won the battle and rested at the palace.

"What do you mean?!"

Hal is heard yelling down the hall, waking you and John up, heading out the room he gives you a confused look, just as confused as you. Walking together to Hals voice, you see a panicked Hal talking to the king.

"Hal, why are you yelling?"

John asked, confused, Hal immediately looks over.

"That 'battle bond' we all did yesterday was apparently some ritual that acts like marriage if you survive the battle!"

Hal explained, the king just nods, as apparently soldiers on this planet would marry after a big battle, usually in groups of three or four, that flower you all ate in the ritual? Bonded you all together emotionally, feeling one another feelings.
