In the magical forest of Eldora, where bright flowers lit up the paths and the trees whispered ancient tales, lived a beautiful elf named Joriel. His fiery long curly hair shimmered in the sun, giving the feeling that he was surrounded by flames, but Joriel's very nature was calm and harmonious. One could often see him wandering through the forest, slowing down time, absorbing all the colors of this world.

One day, a new threat arose in Eldora: tensions between elves and humans reached a critical point. To establish peace, the elders of the forest decided that one of the elves should marry a human, thereby confirming that friendship between the two races is possible. Calm, handsome, and wise, Joriel was chosen for this important mission.

When Joriel found out about his destiny, he had mixed feelings. He knew that it was his responsibility, but he also understood that his heart should belong to his true purpose, and not to some simpleton.

The elf had to marry a man who would become his partner and friend. And soon he met his intended. The human lived in a village near the forest and always openly admired the beauty of the elves. When Joriel and his intended met for the first time, there was an instant understanding between them. The human was immediately captivated when he saw the young elf firsthand. Although they were completely different, they both felt an inner connection that was difficult to explain.

There was only one thing left — to prepare for the ceremony. They needed to convince each other that they were doing this from the bottom of their hearts, not because it was necessary. After all, it was impossible to just fake a wedding, they needed to at least learn something about each other. Joriel and his intended spent a lot of time together, sharing stories about their worlds, dreams, and passions. They seemed to live on the same planet, but they had different traditions, different races, different paths.

The human admired Joriel's grace, and he, in turn, appreciated the human's kindness and sincerity. They grew closer and closer, and soon both realized that there was more than just commitment between them.

On the wedding day, the forest was decorated with bright flowers and light that came from fairies flying around. Elves and humans gathered around to witness this unique event, symbolizing the unity of the two races.

After a wonderful wedding, they went to Joriel's house. He had a homely atmosphere, everything was laid out on the shelves, and there was a sweet smell. The human sat down on his bed, which was surprisingly soft, and he dared to speak first, smiling slightly.

"It's wonderful, isn't it?"

Joriel said softly, thoughtfully examining his emerald engagement ring. His wings were folded neatly behind his back, and his clothes were still unbuttoned, even though it was supposed to be a wedding suit. That's probably how they dress for a wedding. He was wearing perfectly pressed trousers and an obscure fabric that was supposed to resemble a jacket, but looked elegant.
