_The sound of an igniting lightsaber echoed in the small room. Hilgrif looked up slightly to see his Master bringing the lightsaber blade down in a sharp swing. Rather than cut into the Verpine, it stopped to hover over his shoulder. _

“You have been tested the fires, and have not been found wanting. This day, you join others in your rightful place in our Clan and our Brotherhood. Arise, both in rank and station, as a Knight of Clan Naga Sadow. You have earned your place among our number.”

A series of igniting lightsabers could be heard. The room was bathed in a wash of cool blue, violet, red, white, and orange lights as the assembled members of the Clan and both House Summits rose their lit weapons in salute.

“May you continue your upward path to greater heights than even the Summit can imagine. Tonight, we celebrate the promise of a new Knight. May our future be ever brighter!” The room erupted with the sounds of celebration, of congratulations, and excitement.

That evening, they would gather with the rest of the Clan in one of the fighter bays. They would drink to the newest Knight. They would drink to the Clan. The drink would flow.

Yes, that is right! Our very own Hilgrif has finished the ascent to Knighthood!

Woohoo!

I hope that everybody will stand up with myself and the Summit in congratulating this new Knight.

He has worked hard to get to where he is, and if he keeps it up, his future can only be bright!

Yours In Sadow,

Bentre Kairn'tel Stahoes

Consul of Clan Naga Sadow
