[18/04/21 19:03] *Aia*:Through night\'s fall remaineth she who were darkness and light in ever dancing cyclicity.

[18/04/21 19:04] *Aia*:within the confines of Loreroot and the protections offered by the Guardians of the Root;
[18/04/21 19:04] *Aia*:whom we acknowledge as custodians of the land.
[18/04/21 19:04] *Aia*:As is customary during a Red Service, blood shall be shed in Luna\'s honour; those who wish to engage in combat are encouraged to do so.

[18/04/21 19:08] *Aia*:Dracoloth; we have heard of thy pledge; to serve within the priesthood of the Eclipse; to perform of her will and restore of her glory.
[18/04/21 19:09] *Aia*: *turning to Dracoloth* Wilt thou accept of a solemn pledge to Luna, and to the Queen of Loreroot; to temper justice with mercy; to bring knowledge to the ignorant; to be the strength of the weak?
[18/04/21 19:09] Dracoloth: *nods* I will.
[18/04/21 19:09] :*Aia* raises the Moon Chalice and pours pure elemental water into it
[18/04/21 19:09] Ledah:Don\'t do it!
[18/04/21 19:10] *Aia*:Look within; see her reflection, and within it; thine own; understand that thou, like herself, must wax and wane; be dark and light; hide and reveal.
[18/04/21 19:10] *Aia*:Such is our way and her example.
[18/04/21 19:11] *Aia*:I invite thee to sip from the chalice; Dracoloth; and by imbibing her reflection shalt thou become another reflection of her, in thought, word and deed.

[18/04/21 19:12] Dracoloth:Let power allow room for weakness, so all may grow.
[18/04/21 19:12] Fyrd Argentus: *looks up* Somebody call for the ignorant?
[18/04/21 19:12] Dracoloth:Let knowledge allow room for ignorance, so all may learn.
[18/04/21 19:12] Dracoloth:Let love allow room for hate, so all may feel.
[18/04/21 19:12] Dracoloth:There is no good without evil, no life without death, no light without dark. Balance must be.
