D'annha s'Ta'lis ih Ji'anah'ri

(Marriage of Ta'lis to Ji'ana)

Music

:: Aboard her flagship, the R.R.W. Ta'lis e'lev, Ji'ana received a hail and ordered the channel open on the viewscreen. ::

:: The viewscreen displayed an image of Ta'lis, standing at the north end of the intact Tamh Ulhei (Ancient Bridge) over the Vastam River on New Romulus. ::
Ta'lis then spoke:  "Ji'ana, aei rhanne."
("Ji'ana, it is I.")

:: Ji'ana rose from her chair at the sight of Ta'lis on the viewscreen, and spoke. ::
"Ta'lis, mosfvaih'eri mh'rhanam u'mosfvaih'eri p'tned-pra'krsh, crawae'enh u'crawae'eri diamn u'p'tned-pra'krsh.  Mnean paeti hrrau anhelaefvevha ormiin'erievha."
("Ta'lis, separated from me and never separated, always and never feeling and felt.  We meet at the chosen place.")

::In response, Ta'lis spoke again. ::
"Ji'ana, mosfvaih'eri mh'rhanam u'mosfvaih'eri p'tned-pra'krsh, crawae'enh u'crawae'eri diamn u'p'tned-pra'krsh.  Rhanne ourhhe hwaovha."
("Ji'ana, separated from me and never separated, always and never feeling and felt.  I wait for thee.")


:: Ji'ana, having beamed down to the surface of New Romulus, approached the center of the ancient bridge from the south and rang the ceremonial gong once, waiting a few moments before ringing it again, after which her Hfihar members entered the area from the south, led by Galactica and Llaiir, stopping on the south side of the Priestess (Kara). ::


:: Ta'lis and her attendants approached from the north, Ta'lis pausing halfway to the chosen place and waiting with two of her attendants behind her, and one guard, Da'lor, while the others of her party continue and stop on the north side of the Priestess (Kara). ::


:: Karataia, standing in the middle of the bridge and facing the waterfalls, spoke. ::
"Fvah hrian hnafirhn'dhohh aekhho siumel temrhaen, Na Ikara'edh ja astev.  Elet na caevra Rihan, elet na hachae Rihan -- elet latas mnei.
("What you will see comes down from the time of the Beginning, before The Sundering.  This is the Romulan heart, this is the Romulan soul -- this is our way.")


:: Ji'ana dropped the gong mallet, took the Lirpa from her back, and glared around at the assembled, daring any to challenge the marriage, then rang the gong a third time, with the blunt end of the Lirpa. ::


:: Ta'lis and her two attendants came forward to the center of the bridge, Ta'lis standing to Ji'ana's left and taking her hand as they both faced west, away from the waterfalls and toward the Priestess. ::

:: Karataia addressed the assembled. ::

"Aefvadh, qiuu nunh.  ahr'bresa'eri hrrau tamhevha ulhei tivhevha mnean vr'd'annhavha s'Ta'lis i'ih'Aefau s'Ehhelih u's'Ji'ana ir'Vastam s'Charvon."
("Be welcome, all here.  We are gathered on this ancient bridge for the marriage of Ta'lis i'ih'Aefau t'Ehhelih and Ji'ana ir'Vastam t'Charvon.")

"Rhaae'rau.
("Let it begin.)

"Ta'lis, from the ih'Aefau, daughter of Hfihar s'Ehhelih, are you prepared for and do you consent to taking Ji'ana as your wife?"


:: Ta'lis responded. ::
"Ie.  Yes."


:: Karataia addressed Ji'ana then. ::
"Ji'ana, resident of the Vastam Region, daughter of Hfihar s'Charvon, are you prepared for and do you consent to taking Ta'lis as your wife?"


:: Ji'ana nodded. ::
"Ie.  Yes."


:: Karataia raised her hands to the couple in the ancient gesture. ::
"Then join your minds."


:: Ji'ana turned to face her love and raised her left hand in the same gesture. ::


:: Ta'lis faced her beloved and lifted her right hand, forming the same gesture and bringing her hand into contact with that of Ji'ana. ::


:: Ji'ana spoke slowly and deliberately. ::
"Gemaen rhanam i gemaen hwaoi.  Temaelhein rhanam i temaelhein hwaoi."
("My mind to thy mind.  Thy thoughts to my thoughts.")


:: Ta'lis responded in the same slow and deliberate manner. ::
"Caevra hwaoi i caevra rhanam.  Hachae rhanam i hachae hwaoi."
("Thine heart to mine heart.  My soul to thy soul.")


:: Karataia then spoke, in the same fashion. ::
"Gemaenir hraen, anna'eri u'aeiiht ..."
("Your minds, one and together ...")


:: Ta'lis spoke again. ::
"Crawae'enh, ssuy crawaekhe'enh.  Mosfvaih'eri ssuy mosfvaih'eri p'tned-pra'krsh."
("Feeling, yet not feeling.  Separated, yet never separated.")


:: Ji'ana responded in kind. ::
"Crawae'enh, ssuy crawaekhe'enh.  Mosfvaih'eri ssuy mosfvaih'eri p'tned-pra'krsh."
("Feeling, yet not feeling.  Separated, yet never separated.")


:: The couple then spoke in unison. ::
"ahr'hwi mnean."
("We are one.")


:: Karataia solemnly announced ... ::
"The marriage has succeeded.  Let all celebrate the marriage of Ta'lis ei'Ehhelih t'Charvon and Ji'ana ir'Vastam t'Charvon."


:: The married couple then beamed up to Ta'lis' flagship, the R.R.W. Ji'ana a'rhea, to consummate their union. ::


:: Karataia spoke once more. ::
"The blissful couple wish to thank you all for your attendance, and will join us shortly at the reception on the banks of the Atlai."

The Newlyweds:  Ta'lis ei'Ehhelih t'Charvon and Ji'ana ir'Vastam t'Charvon

Let there be rejoicing throughout the Republic!  Temer's hope can be fulfilled!  They who were once enemies are now united, in friendship, and in love!
