Brone Heavyaxe
Brone has never been religious, but he has always appreciated the stonework for temples. Before him was the Kardia Cathedral, it's beauty was breathtaking, so he couldn't help but walking through the gates to enter the interior. The long hallway that lead to a larger area filled with pews and lines of columns. The stone, marble, smooth, and well crafted. The dwarf took a moment to feel the columns, taking in their craftsmanship, then he took a seat in the pews and just enjoyed the sight. The cathedral looked empty so he figured he wasn't bothering anyone.

A priest hurried out from a room and spotted the dwarf, "Are you of Blue Pegasus?" he asked, seeming to be in a hurry.

"Aye, I suppose Magnolia don't have much dwarf visitors" Brone chuckled, though his smile dropped when he noticed the pastor looked serious.

"Sir Dwarf, I hope you don't find me rude for asking without formally introducing myself, but I have a request for you, I am in need of your help" The look on the priest's face was enough for Brone to nod, accepting the quest. The priest quickly took Brone into a nearby room where a young couple waited.

"Sir Dwarf, this is Rome and Julia, they wish to wed" The priest introduced the two, and the couple gave a bow and curtsy in respect.

"Congratulations" Brone greeted them with a smile, "I am Brone Heavyaxe of Blue Pegasus, how may I help?" at first the dwarf thought this task would simply be a matter of helping with decorations or maybe they needed a legal witness, but he then realized how serious this truly was. The couple are in love, but their families have a hatred for one another than goes back generations, the priest who had introduced himself as Father Jerad, stated he knew too well that trying to reason with the warring families would do no good, so the plan was to wed the couple in secret and lead them out of Magnolia so they can be with one another in freedom from their families, "Romantic and brave" is what the dwarf said in whisper, his heart swelled from the story of how these two young couple could face off such a challenge because of the strength of their love.

"What do you need me to do?" Brone was ready.

Father Jerad began the preparations, setting up the altar at the main area of the church; though this was sacred, taking his time wouldn't be suggested. He asked while he prepares and completes the ceremony, that Brone keeps watch; the dwarf nods and heads out to the front of the cathedral.

The sun was beginning to set and streets were beginning to empty. Brone stood in front of the main gate as he looked about, wondering if he had to fight, though a situation as complicated like this wasn't get better if he were to draw his axe. Time was passing, and just when he wondered if he should check in on the couple and the priest, a group of finely dressed men had approached the gate of the cathedral.

"G'evening" Brone called out to the group.

"We're in search of Julia Capulet" the front man said, sounding as if he's in a rush.

"Sorry, but I don't recall the name" Brone replied simply.

"We need to speak to Father Jerad" the man said, sounding a little more aggressive. Reading that aggression, Brone realized with the men having their hands on the handle of the blades the entire time, the situation can indeed go terrible.

"Father Jerad is busy with a service; besides, you'll have to remove your weapons, not allowed in a holy place" Brone said as he crossed his arms despite the front Capulet gritting his teeth.

"I don't have time for this" the man said, looking as if he was about to bypass the dwarf. Brone stood in his way and gave him a stern look.

"I don't know a Julia, but I heard a Montague boy talking funny about a noble girl down at the tavern" Brone sighed, trying his best not to resort to punching the Capulet in the face. Without saying another word, the group of Capulet men turned and rushed away towards the tavern.

Brone Heavyaxe
Though the handful of Capulets had left, Brone still kept a look-out, just in case. Some time later, a cleric from within the cathedral arrived to inform Brone that the ceremony has been completed. The dwarf followed the cleric back into the cathedral to where he found Father Jerad putting away the altar in a hurry, as for the couple, they seem to have their mood changed, they were staring into each other's eyes lovingly, which warmed Brone's heart.

"So what's the plan now, Father?" Brone walked up to the priest.

"Now I need to take care of some business that needs tending to, I'm sorry to ask much of you, but I need you to stay with Rome and Julia until nightfall, I will return then" The priest didn't stop as he spoke. Once the altar was safely put away, Father Jerad retrieved his coat and bag and hurried out the door without waiting to see if the dwarf would be alright with the task, which honestly didn't bother him, he was happy to help the couple in their time of need.

Time passed and the sun had fully set. Brone kept watch of the door at the end of the hall while the couple spoke to one another.

"Thank you again for doing this" Rome said to the dwarf.

"Don't mention it, happy to help" the dwarf gave the two a smile, "So how did you two meet?" Brone was curious, especially given that hours had passed and he wasn't sure when Jerad would return. The loving couple happily told their story of how they met at a party, it was love at first sight. When they had discovered of their families, they kept their secret, but eventually needed to make a decision before their secret was out or before they were kept from one another indefinitely.

Time passed and the star-crossed lovers had fallen asleep by one another on one of the pews while Brone was sitting on the steps to the podium while he still staring at the door at the end of the hall. When the door opened at last, the dwarf jumped to his feet and his hand instinctively went to the handle of his axe, but when he realized it was father Jerad, he relaxed, "Welcome back" he sighed heavily. The suddenly noise after hours of silence woke the couple.

"Praise the Almighty, you're still here and safe" Jerad sighed relief, but was still stressed, "Sir Dwarf, I ask one last thing of you, you will need to escort Rome and Julia outside of Magnolia, they will be able to take it from there, remaining in Magnolia is too dangerous them both given their families, start with Julia, then make your way back for Rome."

While Brone was running his hand through his white hair, trying to overcome his irritation on how tedious this has become, the couple began to protest against the idea of escorting each of them one by one, they didn't want to separate from one another.

"Tis the only way, under the cover of night will cover you, but to take you both in one trip would be too dangerous, easy to lose one another and easier to be caught" Brone said as he removed his ringmail armor and helmet, so he wouldn't make noise while he made his way through the night, "Besides, to miss one another is hunger that is greatly satisfied when you reunite" giving the couple a endearing smile, Rome and Julia nodded in agreement.

Julia gave Rome a hug and kiss, then exchange of whispers before she and Brone way out the door and into the night. "Keep hold of my hand, lass, and make sure you don't let go".

"Don't we need a light source of some kind?" Julia whispered in worry.

"Dwarven eyes are good in the dark, lass" Brone assured her as they made their way through the city.

Brone Heavyaxe
Brone had led Julia through dark alleyways and narrow streets, it was easy enough, but they still held their breath, worried about being spotted. Eventually they found their way to the outskirts of the city and picked a very distinct willow tree as the meeting point, "Don't go anywhere, lass, if anybody other than us shows up, hide, I'll return with your beau" the dwarf whispered to the bride before he ran off back into the city.

Without another person to worry about, it was easy to make his way back to church in a faster time, "Is Julia safe?" was Rome's question the moment the dwarf made his way in through the door of the cathedral.

"Aye, lad, now it's yer turn, make haste" the dwarf turned on his heel without looking at the priest. Brone and Rome made their way out and began rushing through the narrow streets and dark alleyways just like before. Freedom was so close, hearing the excitement in Rome's voice gave Brone a sense of pride and accomplishment. Rome began whispering plans of starting a new life with his bride. Sadly the excitement was cut short the moment the two of them accidently entered a lit street where the group of Capulets from earlier in the evening were.

Before Brone could wonder if they were spotted, he heard one of them shout "That's the Montague boy!" Brone and Rome ran into an alleyway.

"What do we do!?" Rome was frantic, but Brone tried to keep him calm.

"We're splitting up" Brone shoved Rome down one alleyway, "Follow that path, regardless of the lack of light, keep your hand on the wall to guide you, onward until you reach the end of the city, there is a weird willow there, your beloved will be waiting for you" before Rome could ask what would the dwarf do, Brone rushed off down a different direction, however kicking a trashcan while shouting to draw the Capulet's attention.

Brone knew because of his short legs, he lacked speed compared to the average human, but he used his eyesight to his advantage. He only kept to dark alleyways and narrow streets to which he would cry out slurs to the Capulets to keep them on his tail, albeit at a distance given that they were finding it difficult to traverse the path with only one torch in hand.

Eventually Brone found himself on a high footbridge, looking over a narrow street where the Capulets stopped at. Because Brone removed the lantern lacrima from the footbridge, they couldn't spot him with the lack of light, but he could see them all too well. The Capulets then made a guess and ran down a random path. And with that, the dwarf decided to make his way back to the weird willow tree and hope that the star-crossed lovers found each other.

Once Brone reached the willow tree, he spotted two figures attempting to hide in the brush, "Terrible hiding spot, yer lucky humans don't have dwarven eyes" he chuckled. Hearing the familiar voice, Rome and Julia revealed themselves. They were so relieved to see the dwarf was safe they pulled him into an embrace, "Don't waste the affection on me, ye two have enough for one another".

"How will we repay you for this?" Rome asked.

"Start a new life and be merry, that's all I ask" Brone said, simply before he turned on his hell and made his way back into the city. The couple waved their hand at the vanishing dwarf before they turned about and made their way away from the city to start their new life together.

"Father Jerad!" Brone called out as he opened the cathedral door.

"News?" the priest asked as he ran into view of the dwarf.

"The lovers have made it safely, worry not" the bright smile on the dwarf's face was enough for Father Jerad to finally relax and smile. He dropped into one of the pews and Brone joined him.

"For your hard work, and my thanks" Father Jerad handed Brone a bag of jewels and for a moment the dwarf forgot this was a paid quest. He gave a laugh and patted the priest on the back. It was surely an interesting night.
