Lana. Xyshari. Theron.
Theron is mostly just along for the ride.
It had been Theron's idea, entering this contest.
Both Lana and Xyshari had balked at the idea of such a thing. The dresses the year before for their wedding had been extravagant enough, but to actually build costumes for a role in the parade... well, that wasn't the kind of attention that either Lana or Xyshari were particularly fond of.
"It'll be fun," Theron assured them. "Besides, aside from the whole cutting the bonds they made because he didn't want her to kill herself bit, you two are a perfect fit for the characters in the story."
