Adakias It seems to me like every star agreed to meet right over our heads tonight, to flex their bright.
Princess Anhura The light collects in your eyes, turns and reflects, jumps into mine. I’m a slave to the sight.
Adakias My hands shake. Our minds race from the thought of love, yet we curb our speech because words are not enough. To etch this instant, burn this moment, into our memory. Let go. Take my hand and trust in me. Anhura, can’t you see that we were meant to be? It’s true love.
Princess Anhura I never would guess your touch could fill me with such thoughts to marry you, have your babies, too. It’s too good to be true?
Adakias I can’t let her learn about my past. If she found out where I came from, she’d turn so fast and not look back. I can’t go back, I just won’t go back.
Princess Anhura I can’t slow down. I’m scared I’m falling too fast. Adakias, can’t you see that I knew at first kiss? We were meant to be.
Adakias Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been destined for something bigger than your skin?
Princess Anhura Don’t you ever feel like you’ve been destined for something bigger than your skin?
Adakias I can feel it, affirming my significance, rendering me weightless, confirming my purpose.
Princess Anhura Tendons tensing in its wake, shifting my shoulder blades, trickling down my veins, it’s subtle as a tidal wave.
Adakias & Princess Anhura It’s true love.
Narration Love was everywhere, you could taste it in the air. The couple was eager to trade vows, to float away and settle down. But first Adakias had to meet Anhura’s father, his majesty, the one and only. His royal highness, the King. He had to kiss his jeweled fist and bow to the crown. Kneeling on the ground, he would propound to become her prince.
