Chapter 57

Venusa and Atlas's mating ceremony was the talk of the village. As much as the villagers were in disbelief that Atlas turned out to be the chosen one, happiness still flowed around for their loving princess, who everyone took care of as grew up, was getting married to the love of her life. Venusa was definitely the happiest. She kept grinning and squealing like a little child as the village priest joined them together as husband and wife.
Venusa promised Atlas not to tell her parents about his secret. Atlas wanted to know why Venusa didn't want to tell her parents. It wouldn't be good if they kept this from them but Venusa insisted. Saying it would be worse if they knew now. Atlas let her have her way.
Seeing the love Atlas had for his daughter, Hank knew he was leaving the village in the hands of a competent chief. After their marriage, Venusa resumed her spiritual training. Atlas always watches her from a distance whenever she practiced the spiritual dance. Watching Umbria teach Venusa once, Atlas already knew the steps to the dance but Venusa still hasn't gotten it. One day, during her practice, Atlas decided to join her.
