(Caption) Abandoned Chapel, Ritual and Bride (Patreon)

He had entered the deserted chapel merely out of curiosity, but then a black wedding gown fell from the sky.

As the light descended, transformation crept silently through his body. His frame tightened, his form stretched slender and tall, his shoulders softened, his waist naturally narrowing. His Adam's apple vanished beneath the skin, his chest rose, and his breaths became light and slow. Long hair cascaded down her back, its color pale as if washed by moonlight. Within his gaze appeared the unfamiliar yet serene face of a young woman.

A black dress hugged her new curves, its layers cascading down. Lace and dark shimmer lay quietly along the hem. A veil fell through her hair, star-shaped ornaments swaying gently. High heels encased her feet, slender straps securing her ankles, naturally shifting her center of gravity forward as she stood.

A white rose was placed in her arms, concluding the ceremony. She remained standing, no longer her former self—only a bride in black, the outcome of the ritual now complete.
