The Under-realm wedding ceremony was held in Realmgate City. They had decided on an Orc poly wedding. The Brides and Grooms were given old Orc scimitars and an Orc Priest began his speech. \u201cBy strength, over weakness,\u201d he began, \u201cthese warriors intend to unite their houses and become one. If any wish to try and keep them separate, make your attempt now.\u201d A male Orc wearing old armor then leapt up from the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour fate just went from bad to worse!\u201d he called. \u201cYou face an Orc who speaks in verse! Your desecration of marriage will not stand! You will all fall by my hand! This pseudo-harem will fall! Your bones will decorate my wall! Shall I say goodbye, when you fall and die, after I pluck out your eye?!\u201d The Orc then roared and charged at the six. Malnar and her lovers quickly went on the defensive, blocking the Orc\u2019s blows. Despite the odds against him, he kept up the attack. \u201cMy blows, you will feel! You will be brought to heel!\u201d Just then, Lardeth tripped him up. Falnii then swung her scimitar and he blocked it, but Arsha landed her scimitar on his chest. He knocked her aside and picked himself up only to be met with Foresna and Gorfanth\u2019s scimitars. Malnar then swooped in. \u201cWait! Wait! Let me live!\u201d begged the Orc. \u201cAt least let me write my eulogy!\u201d Malnar raised her sword, then swung. Just before the blade hit him, he rolled out of the way and conjured a maho-particle avatar. Malnar killed the avatar in the most brutal fashion as the real Orc ran from the stage. She then raised her hands and looked out to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBe there others that dare interrupt my wedding?!\u201d she called. No one replied. \u201cThen I, Malnar Emboramii, do take Lardeth Felompha, Arsha Royana, Falnii Loftanaf, Foresna Falshenda, and Gorfanth Steelhorn as my husbands and wives!\u201d Gorfanth then raised his scimitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, Gorfanth Steelhorn, do take Malnar Emboramii, Lardeth Felompha, Arsha Royana, Falnii Loftanaf, and Foresna Falshenda as my husbands and wives!\u201d Arsha raised her weapon next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, Arsha Royana, do take Malnar Emboramii, Lardeth Felompha, Falnii Loftanaf, Gorfanth Steelhorn, and Foresna Falshenda as my husbands and wives!\u201d Foresna was next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, Foresna Falshenda, do take Malnar Emboramii, Arsha Royana, Lardeth Felompha, Gorfanth Steelhorn, and Falnii Loftanaf as my husbands and wives!\u201d Lardeth raised his scimitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, Lardeth Felompha, do take Malnar Emboramii, Arsha Royana, Foresna Falshenda, Gorfanth Steelhorn, and Falnii Loftanaf as my husbands and wives!\u201d Falnii was the last to raise her scimitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI, Falnii Loftanaf, do take Malnar Emboramii, Lardeth Felompha, Arsha Royana, Foresna Falshenda, and Gorfanth Steelhorn as my husbands and wives!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy all the power invested in me,\u201d called the Priest, \u201cI hereby pronounce you husbands and wives! Claim your kiss now!\u201d Malnar planted a deep, passionate kiss on each of her lovers\u2019 lips. The crowd cheered as the band played the Under-realm national anthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the Over-realm, the reception was held in Malnar\u2019s castle. It was the first time Arsha met Malnar\u2019s paternal grandparents. Malnar always called her grandpa \u201cSteel\u201d and her grandma \u201cBird\u201d. What really shocked her lovers were that they were both Human\/Orc Blenders. \u201cSo, hang on,\u201d remarked Lardeth, \u201chow is it that Orbak\u2019s fully human?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you know anything about genetics?\u201d asked Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI fell asleep during those classes. Maho-physics interested me more.\u201d Steel and Bird rolled their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t snag \u2018em all, can we?\u201d muttered Steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, we\u2019re geneticists,\u201d said Bird, \u201cso we can fill in the gap here.\u201d She tapped the end of her cane to a wall and made a large two by two grid. \u201cThis is called a Rodalen\u2019s Square, the base model for determining genetic chance and named after Tonushar Rodalen, the father of genetic prediction algorithms. We\u2019re gonna use Arsha\u2019s parents for an example. In this instance, the father has a human skin tone. To represent that, we\u2019ll use a large Toket.\u201d She tapped the wall again and the Under-realm symbol Toket appeared along twice along one side of the square. \u201cFor the mother\u2019s skin tone, we\u2019ll use a smaller Toket along the top.\u201d She tapped the wall once again and the smaller toket appeared twice along the top. \u201cNow, in this instance, while traces of the mother show, the Human side is considered dominant concerning the skin\u2019s color.\u201d Arsha\u2019s ears wiggled as she smiled. \u201cSo, in this instance, both genes would come together and the larger of the two Tokets will be paired with the smaller ones.\u201d She tapped the wall again and each section of the square was filled with a large Toket and a small one. \u201cIn our line of work, the bigger letter indicates the more dominant gene. In this instance, the child has a 100% chance of being a Blender with a father dominant skin color.\u201d She then turned to Steel and nodded to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, what if Arsha married a Human\/Kitsune Blender of her own skin tone?\u201d he asked. He used his wand to clear the square and run a pair of Tokets along the top and side, one large and one small. \u201cIn this instance, there\u2019s a bit more of a chance the child will be different. In this instance, with both Large Tokets so close together, the child could be a full Human when it comes to the color of their skin.\u201d The upper left section with Large Tokets on both the top and side filled itself with both of them. \u201cOr perhaps the child will be a full Kitsune.\u201d The lower right section filled with both small Tokets. \u201cOr, more likely, the child will still be a Blender.\u201d The remaining two sections were filled with first a Large Toket and a Small one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, in your instance, an Orc\u2019s traits are dominant?\u201d asked Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d replied Bird. \u201cAnd Orbak had the genetic prize of getting all the human traits from us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCaused a bit of a stir when his birth was announced, let me tell you!\u201d chuckled Steel. Bird swatted his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCome on!\u201d called Malnar. \u201cIt\u2019s time for the photos!\u201d Malnar and her spouses got pictures of them and Malnar\u2019s side of the family. Even Yunfeen got to visit. Once the reception was over and the photos were taken, the wedded group headed to the ship and it took off for the last wedding ceremony in the Mid-realm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
