Erytheia and Alexander's Story
Chapter One: A Very Important Question
Narrated by Alexander Paraskevas
Erytheia and I moved into 930 Medina Studios, whilst Xanthe moved back in with her parents temporarily. Of course, the first thing both of us did was to get jobs. Both of us had managed to graduate with honours (as had Xanthe) so we both received a real boost.
(And yes, I made many of their furnishings red :D :D )

Helen popped over for a chat.
"So, you've graduated now! Wow, it feels so odd that I've got a grown-up, adult brother," she said.
"Well, it's nearly your own birthday," I replied. "Any ideas for future plans?"
"I'm not sure yet," she said. "There's so much out there."
"You don't have to have a set idea about a job," I advised. "Plenty of people start off in one area and then retrain later in life."
"That's very true," she replied.
"Anyway... I was planning to propose to Erytheia today," I whispered, looking round. "I'm not sure of the ideal place to do it."
"Oh! How exciting!" she grinned. "Well, she's so in love with you I don't think she'll care about the location... but how about the Magic Realm?"
"Yes! What a great idea!" I exclaimed.

So, under the pretext of having a magic duel, I invited Erytheia to the Magic Realm. To my horror, both my own mother and Erytheia's mother were hanging around outside HQ, so I went to the gardens.
"Hey, wait, the duelling grounds are that way," Erytheia frowned as she stood in front of me.
Okay. Keep it cool, I thought.
"Alex? Are you OK?"

"Erytheia Rose Masterson," I said, slowly sinking to one knee.
Now it was her turn to place her hand over her heart as she clocked what I was doing.
"Erytheia Rose Masterson," I repeated, "you are the most beautiful woman I know. We've been so happy together, but will you make me even happier and become my wife?"

"OHMYPLUMBOB YES!" she screamed as she slipped the ring onto her finger. After a quick kiss, she leapt into my arms.
"Of course I'll marry you, Alexander James Paraskevas!"

That night, back at the apartment...
"So, where shall we get married?" she asked. "It's winter right now, I don't fancy freezing in the middle of Myshuno Meadows."
"No, neither do I. So, I thought we could get married in Sulani," I replied. "It's nicer weather over there in winter. Given that it's Winterfest tomorrow, why don't we get married the day after?"
"Great idea!"
With that in mind, we booked to get married at 3pm the day after Winterfest, in a lovely beach location.
