She goes to each, reverence in her voice as she lays a glowing hand on each creature’s head. “Before me is Ronin Darbinyan, who to other may seem cold, but I see his heart. I name him the Soul Seer, for he chooses selflessness in a world where we are likely to care only for ourselves.” “Before me kneels Temple Vice, whose temper is often her strength. I name her The Heart Fuse, for she will never forget that love’s calling is why we must find the burning anger to go on.” “Before me is also Oddir Magnusson, who seeks to be a shaman in a world who steers from faith. I name him The Artifacto for he seeks to know and will one day seek to tell.” “Before me is Esdel Alypus who found sorrow in the voids. I name him The Seeker, for despite loss of hope, he has never stopped wishing to look. Do not, my child, underestimate the will to look. It is those who refuse to see and learn that will fall today.” “Before me is Basil Bacik who like the great clams in deep water must keep their exteriors hard. I name her The Caretaker for she is true on her inside and has given second hope to another who without her spirit would be lost.” “Before me is Chimodo Fark, and while he might have lost a piece of himself, I have it here in me. He has once before fought at the sides of brothers and sisters who without him would be slain. I name him The Hero of Minds, for he has sacrificed what was himself for our sake, and so that we may fight on, he is here again.” She kisses the top of this man’s head as if she knows him. “Before me kneels Eartha Starry who is bold in everything she chooses to do. I name her The Compass in the Dark, for she will aid us all to navigate where there is nothing to hope for.” “Before me I see Titania Aquaria who is both quick and skilled. I name her The Waterborn Heart, for she is rapid and elegant like the blood of this world.” “Before me I see Trendran Frankles who looks on the inside as a gem does. I name him The Ruby Prince, for he would sparkle in light and darkness with a red of true passion for what he seeks.” “Before me is Apollyon son of a King he does not serve. I name him The Prince of Paths, for he blazes anew wherever he goes and more importantly, would make them for another so that we may all be free.” “Before me is Seline Nuers who would not forget her family. I name her The Nightingale, for it sings a beautiful song that might light even the darkest times.” “Before me kneels Ember Orina who would travel across our world to seek what she has lost. I name her The Blue Spirit, for she is full of bold zest that would not settle for another man’s life.” “Before me there is also Zarina Vatovia who may not find words for her thoughts, but will find action when it is needed. She has bled in my name before and so I name her The Voice of Nira, as she would speak for me from a heart of friendship.” To each she gives a small token. A medallion with an empty center. Around the outside is a ring of silver that glows slightly and is enchanted with the runes of loyalty, love, and benevolence notable as the runes marked into the walls and roads of the city itself.
