FC. TURJANN & SAKU

[14:08] Turjann: perhaps we should start, before Saku get's coldfeet and absconders off into the desert, eh?' grins

[14:08] Hermes (prinzensaft) whispers to Turjann - by the way he does not like being called "blessed" because it is him who blesses...

[14:08] Melampus (godhet) bows with a smile: "I must apologize to Lady Sabayna and Yuroki. Both are unfortunately unable to attend, but they asked me to send you their warmest regards."

[14:08] Turjann nods

[14:08] Melampus (godhet): Yes, we should begin, it is time.

[14:08] Turjann: understood and accepted' smiles

[14:08] Sigfrid Avro (yexing) waves to Kreg.

[14:08] Turjann: please, let us enter the temple...

[14:09] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) hears the gong ring

[14:09] Hermes (prinzensaft): boy you follow the Initiate

[14:09] Kreg Ember (kreg.skytower) moves to the temple, fascinated by the multiple cultures present

[14:09] Hermes (prinzensaft): come here mon chamour

[14:10] Turjann takes his place before the Homestone, awaiting sir Melampus

[14:11] Yexing fr>en sits close to his love.

[14:11] Kreg Ember (kreg.skytower) sits behind the Prince and lightly taps his chair  with his boot

[14:12] Melampus (godhet) enters ceremoniously with the bride and groom and the guests and stands in front of Kurtzal's Home Stone, where he waits until everyone has taken their seats.

[14:12] Melampus (godhet): We have gathered here in Kurtzal today to usher Pasha Turjann and Lady Saku into the bond of companionship. I am pleased that you are all here. My name is Melampus, Initiate of Isfahan, and it is a pleasure and honor for me to lead the ceremony.

[14:12] Kreg Ember (kreg.skytower) whispers loudly...."PSST!!  UBAR!!  come and sit!!"

[14:13] Melampus (godhet): Dear Turjann and dear Saku, dear guests!

[14:13] Melampus (godhet): The spiritual form of human life is shaped by love. Love comes first. What must never be put at risk is love. The greatest danger is not loving.

[14:14] Melampus (godhet): Lovers consider each other to be one being with themselves. Love originates in goodwill, in appreciation. The beloved are dear to each other, they consider each other valuable. And from the love that makes one value a particular person comes all the good that one bestows upon them.

[14:14] Melampus (godhet): Love means more than a series of charitable acts. Love for another, by its very nature, compels us to desire the best for their life. Only when we develop this kind of mutual relatedness will a unity be possible that excludes no one. A brotherhood emerges.

[14:15] Melampus (godhet): No one matures or reaches fulfillment by isolating themselves. By its very dynamic, love demands a progressive openness, an ever-greater capacity to welcome the other.

[14:15] Turjann nods silently

[14:15] Melampus (godhet): The dynamics of love is an adventure that brings all edges together into a full awareness of mutual belonging.

[14:16] Melampus (godhet): And now Turjann and Saku embark on this adventure, they begin their journey in love and we will accompany them today.

[14:17] Melampus (godhet) turns to Mul and signals to him to hand him the Ceremonial Book.

[14:17]  Mul-al-Khan (ilfryn) had been entrusted with the ceremonial book and leaned his head forward, raising his arms above his head to hold out the precious book to the Blessed One. "Here Master". with humility he remains discreet and close.

[14:19] Melampus (godhet) takes the book from Mul and opens it.

[14:19] Melampus (godhet): And so let us now proceed to the companionship ceremony of Pasha Turjann and Lady Saku of Kurtzal.

[14:20] Melampus (godhet) turns first to the Pasha: "“Turjann, do you take Saku to be your Free Companion, to honor her, to share her burdens and triumphs, to keep faith with her in all things?”

[14:21] Turjann turns to face his Saku, smiling softly

[14:21] Turjann: “I do. Before the city and the Priest Kings, I swear it. I shall honor her as the highest among free women, stand beside her in hardship and in plenty, in Kurtzal and beyond. She shall walk with me as my chosen and my equal.”

[14:22] Melampus (godhet) nods with a smile and turns to Lady Saku: “And Saku, do you take Turjann to be your Free Companion, to honor him, to share his burdens and triumphs, to keep faith with him in all things?”

[14:22] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) turns to Turjann, looks up, single tear falls down my cheek, choking out the words, “I do. Before the city and the Priest-Kings, I swear it. I shall honor him as the highest among free men, stand beside him in hardship and in plenty, in Kurtzal and beyond. He shall walk with me as my chosen and my equal.”

[14:23] Melampus (godhet) nods again with a smile: "So may this be done. Then let the Wine of Companionship be shared, sealing the bond of your vows.”

[14:24] Turjann eyes moisten as he listens

[14:24] Melampus (godhet) now gives Mul the signal to hand over the chalice of companionship.

[14:25]  Mul-al-Khan (ilfryn) approachs the Master and hands Turjann the chalice of the Fellowship's wine. when the Initiate shows him when he allows him to proceed. He is deeply honored to give it, in a such memorising moment.

[14:28] Turjann graciously accepts the chalice, and holds it steady... lifts the brim to his lips, and looking deeply into Saku's eyes, takes a long, slow sip, savoring the wine that binds his love for her today, then passes his beloved the chalice

[14:29] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi): drink together in a single act, solemn and complete, echoing the Gorean words:

[14:29] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi): “We drink the wine of companionship.”

[14:30] Melampus (godhet) watches the solemn moment as they receive and empty the goblet, then signals to Saku to return the goblet to Mul.

[14:30] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) hands the chalice back to Mul carefully

[14:31]  Mul-al-Khan (ilfryn) looks the chalise pass from the Master and the Mistress. After, and when Saku has also drunk with Turjann, Mul raises his soft hand to take the chalice back and returns it to its place.

[14:32] Melampus (godhet) waits until the chalice is back in its place and turns to Saku again: “Saku, let the outer veils fall, that trust and intimacy may be revealed.”

[14:32] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) lifts the outer veil, her face bared to Turjann and to none else. The final veil remains, to be drawn away only in private, later, as tradition holds.

[14:33] Melampus (godhet) speaks to both: “Now interlock your arms, that your lives may be as one, in strength and in heart.”

[14:34] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) entwine their arms fully, each steadying the other, sealing the union with gesture as with vow.

[14:34] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) cries in joy this day.

[14:35] Melampus (godhet) returns the ceremonial book to Mul raises her hands in prayer:

[14:35] Turjann twines my arm with hers, supporting her steadily, carefully, as he will always from this day forth

[14:35]  Mul-al-Khan (ilfryn) grabs the precious book.

[14:36] Melampus (godhet): We will now invoke the blessing of the Priest-Kings upon you, Turjann and Saku. You may kneel for this.

[14:37] Turjann moves to his knees slowly...

[14:37] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi) follows Turjann's lead

[14:37] Melampus (godhet): You Priest-Kings, holy and mighty, who live high in the Sardar Mountains:

[14:38] Melampus (godhet): Bless this companionship. Let the love of Turjann and Saku grow and flourish, place their house and this city of Kurtzal under your protection. And grant Turjann and Saku a rich progeny.

[14:38] Melampus (godhet): The Priest-Kings, high in the Sardar Mountains, grant this to you.

[14:38] Melampus (godhet): Ta Sardar Gor!

[14:39]  Mul-al-Khan (ilfryn): ta sardar gor

[14:39] Turjann: Ta Sardar Gor!

[14:39] Saku Takahashi 高橋 (mi.yuequi): Ta Sardar Gor!

[14:39] Kreg Ember (kreg.skytower) shouts: TA SARDAR GOR!!

[14:39] Hermes (prinzensaft): Ta Sardar Gor!

[14:39] Melampus (godhet) breaks away from his prayer position and signals to Turjann and Saku to stand up again.

[14:39] Kira Edmonds (kira.avonside): Ta Sardar Gor!!

[14:40] Melampus (godhet): I would also like to personally extend my warmest congratulations to both of you, Pasha Turjann and Lady Saku.

[14:40] Turjann rises and once again faces the Initiate Melampus

[14:41] Melampus (godhet): And now, dear guests, you may congratulate Turjann and Saku as well.

[14:41] Turjann: and thank you sir Melampus, for belssing us this memrable day!'
