In the Name of the Warrior

Ser Heloise.

she was now Ser Heloise. the ceremony came and went, with the highlights in her eyes being named a knight at long last. she stood as proudly as possible, her eyes never leaving Acere's face as the king deemed her deeds acceptable in the eyes of Winterfell. the feeling in her chest tightened; one of pride and accomplishment but also one of love. she loved her pack, her community and the people within it. she rose her bowed head to the king as he called them out, a true and genuine smile gracing her lips.

she had been validated. her training was not in vain. but she would continue to hone her skills a sa knight of Winterfell. she was not sure if she should speak at this instant, and opted for silence as she stared at her fellow knights. she had called Dragon 'ser' before he was knighted, had trained with Fracture and met the sons and daughters of Tyranis. she gave them a nod, congratulatory, before her sight went back to her fiance. there were no words to express how much meaning Acere had given her since they met. a home, now a family and love.

Heloise would repay him for the rest of their lives together.
