Cethgus slashed out, his saber hissing against his student’s blade, his eyes locking with Lexi’s at that moment. She had come a long way since her original days when the Iridonian took her under his wing. Able to hold her own, able to fight against the Equite. Forcing her back with his brute strength, he snarled towards the Jedi Hunter, his eyes focused and showing years of experience.

“Keep your guard up or lose your head.” He instructed, his voice cold and stern as he spoke towards Lexi.

Pushing off his feet, the Iridonian charged forward, allowing his saber to clash against the Jedi Hunter’s, forcing her backwards further still. As he allowed his blade to lock with hers, his free hand came up, slamming into the side of her face and sending her down onto the practice mat. Her saber rolled free from her hand, out of reach, and Cethgus loomed over her at that moment.

“I told you to keep your guard up.” He repeated, his voice solid and firm as he heard footsteps approaching.

“Ceth! It’s time, brother.” The voice of Atyriu rang out as Cethgus’ eyes shot up. Without removing his eyes from Atyriu, he allowed his boot to pin the Jedi Hunters stomach keeping her held down. The screams could be heard form the training area as the Obelisk Primarch burned the letter ‘C’ into the nape of his student’s neck. Atyriu cursed softly, hating this trial by fire method that her Quaestor used. Once it was finished, Cethgus allowed his eyes to fall down to Lexi.

“There. Something to always remember me by.” He muttered. Hauling her up onto her feet, he summoned her saber and clipped it to her side. “Follow us.”

The three of them advanced down the corridors of Arcona’s base, the dull ache echoing from Lexi’s flesh as she walked with her master, aware of the burn that he had inflicted onto her would remain despite the Aedile’s brief healing. They approached a golden door in time, leading to the Clan Summit chambers. Cethgus knocked, letting his hand fall onto the door, and a reply was clearly heard from inside.

“Enter.” With that, the gleaming doors opened, allowing the group to walk inside of the door.

On the throne was the Consul of Arcona, Legorii flanking him at his side. As Lexi entered, she walked to the center of the room, feeling her Quaestor’s hand on her shoulder, forcing her down onto her knees, before her Master and Aedile walked past her and stood beside Marick.

“It has come to our attention that you have achieved great things in this Clan. As such, it has been decided that you are fit to be welcomed into the ranks of Knighthood.” Marick’s voice echoed as the others remained in silence “You are one of our finest younglings, and you have grown. Now, you will stand and leave as a Knight of Arcona.”

Silence reigned as Lexi shot a glance at her Master. The Iridonian replied with a smile on his lips, nodding towards her. …………………………….

I am honoured to be recommending Lexi for her final promotion to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. She has been an active and devoted member inside of the Brotherhood, expanding her knowledge and continuing to grow during her time as a Journeyman. For all of her hard work, I am proud to see her finally reach the rank of Knighthood.

She has been a pleasure to work with throughout her elevation through the Journeymen ranks. Always showing her own opinion and not being afraid to get involved and talk with the members on IRC. Showing herself as a steady and stable part of Clan Arcona and House Galeres. Since joining Lexi has continued to inspire not only helping with offering improvements to the Battleteam she is part of, but also offering assistance on a House level. Continuing to help improve things for members. What is even more impressive is she joined as part of the Guild but dove straight into the other side of the site. Taking Exams and writing fictions and progressing herself all of the time. She has been a excellent person to have meet and I have had the proud position of being her master, she continues to keep people active and inspired including myself.

Congratulations Lexi for your elevation, you have truly worked hard and achieved so much since joining the club. I am proud to have been your master and I hope that we continue to teach each other new things in the future. I look forward to seeing what you do from here Lexi, I will be keeping a close eye on you.

Lexi has been a wonderful addition to Arcona, and I’m delighted to see her reach Dark Jedi Knight. She knows as much as the next gamer-girl how tough it can be to break into the guy’s scene, but she’s certainly never let it stop her; and I daresay she’s taken control. Lexi’s energetic, active, and always present, yet all the while working hard to move up through the ranks, she’s always been polite and kind to her clanmates. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her stake her claim in the Clan, and now, all that effort’s come to fruition.

Congratulations on Knighthood, Lexi. We look forward to seeing just how you’ll amaze next.

Aedile of House Galeres

Master Ruka Tenbriss Ya-ir, 2013-12-30 01:58:38 UTC

The time has come for Lexi Sarden to be elevated to the prized rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Since joining, she has completed all that has been asked of her with a certain confidence and enjoyment.

First of all, she has been awarded a merit award, this being a Dark Cross given for her generally impressive activity. In addition to this, she has earned the necessary competition awards, having earned 2 Legions of the Scholar.

Lexi’s activity has been extremely impressive, she has taken part in sixteen competitions, these being: PvP Domination, Monkey Kick Off, The Jitters, The Vows, The Reception, Cethgus' IRC trivia, Dozen of Games II, Dozen of Games II: Round 3 - Christmas Balls, ACC: Create a Venue, The Ceremony, Gevaar's IRC trivia, Sentence Run-On, Dozen of Games II: Round 4 - Curve-Ball, Dark Forge Continuous Run On, Caption Time! New Years Caption Contest #1, Caption Time! New Years Caption Contest #2, and has also organised two of her own, both instances of her organising IRC trivia competitions.

In the Shadow Academy, Lexi has been second to none in terms of her ability to pass courses and obtain degrees, securing not only one Maven, but a second - she has gained Dark Maven degrees in both Combat and Philosophy, as well as passing both leadership courses. Her impressive activity in the Shadow Academy has allowed her to obtain Rank IV within its society.

Writing is another area that Lexi has excelled in, achieving not only 3,000 words of character fiction, but also developing her Wiki article to the point that it can be considered a ‘quality’ article.

Finally, she has completed a summit task - she has checked all Galeres related Wiki pages and provided the Quaestor and Aedile with a list of items that needed updated.

Congratulations, Lexi! Enjoy your new lightsaber!

It gives me no greater honor as Consul to personally and immediately elevate Lexi Sarden to the rank of Jedi Hunter.

Lexi has been, as mentioned in her recent Dark Cross (her first Merit award!), one of Arcona's most active IRCers, engaging her fellow members and participating in any competitions she could get her hands on. She has completed no less than 5 competitions, logged on to the DJB Teamspeak server, passed both Leadership Fundamentals and Leadership Studies courses, written both a 1,000 and 2,000 word fictions approved by the Arcona Summit. Her diligence has paid off as she has made it to rank 3 in the SA Society (I don't think I've even gotten that high yet), placed in Cethgus' IRC Trivia with a 2nd place, and helped organize and run two IRC Trivia's on her own.

Congratulations, Lexi. Keep working hard, and the sky will be your only limit.

As well as all of this writing she has continued to prove her willingness to work and study more about the Brotherhood, this was in the form of completing her Order Exam, Learning about the Sith before the Brotherhood. On top of all of this she continues to work inside of competitions participating in a total of five competitions since her time of joining the club, as well as running her own IRC Trivia. As well as all this work she is a constant face on IRC and TeamSpeak interacting with other members and getting to know the Clan.She progresses at an alarming rate also completing and keeping up to date her own character sheet and still expanding on her character history document, ready to begin her Wiki Page,

For all of her hard work I am proud to see Lexi elevated to the rank of Guardian. Congratulations Lexi, I look forward to seeing you continue to the path of Knighthood. Keep up the hard work inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres.
