The celebration of marriages and other unions during this wonderful month of June wouldn’t be complete without the bonding ceremony found in Chasing Mayhem. The exchange of armlets and words play an important role in Imee’s culture and in her story.
Here is a snippet from Chasing Mayhem…
***
“I’m never releasing you.” He reached under the pile of body armor. “I’ve decided to bind you to me for all eternity.”
“No more games.” She pulled on the restraints. “I—”
He held out two silver-colored armlets, one small, one large, and she stopped talking, stunned. The gear-and-cog design was unique, intricate, beautiful.
But it was his words paired with his choice of gift that caused tears to prick her eyes and a ball of emotion to form in her throat. He wanted to bind their souls forever.
It was one of her secret wishes, a dream she held close to her heart.
“Don’t you dare joke about this, Mayhem.” She wouldn’t survive it.
“I’m serious.” And he did appear that way, his lips flat. “They’re manufactured from my mechanics, some of the most durable substances in the galaxy.”
He’d put a piece of himself in the armlets. Her vision clouded. “You fool. You shouldn’t have done that.” It must have hurt him.
“My nanocybotics replaced them.” He shrugged. “Our lifespans will be long. My mechanics were the logical choice.”
She suspected his decision had involved more than logic. “If we do this, our souls will be entwined until time ends.”
“They already are, my female.” He snapped the smaller armlet around her left biceps. “I give to you my soul for safekeeping. It is yours. In this lifespan and the next. Guard it well for I have no other.”
He had studied and learned the binding words. Imee stared at the armlet, unable to speak. His nanocybotics bubbled inside her. She wore his armlet, a symbol of his soul.
He’d always be with her. She would never be solitary.
