Memory 11
Memory: Positive Significant - Achieving rank of Magic Knight and taking the requisite oath
Regained: Day 41, Just Desserts (Paintball)
Form: Chocolate coin, eat to use (Unused)

Contents: Neferti, now 18, kneels before a man covered in full plate armor. She draws her sword from the scabbard at her side, and holds it out to the man without raising her head. Her memory calls up a name and title without meaning to: The man standing before her is the Knight Commander, Cyril.

Cyril holds the sword up high and states simply: Swear.

Without hesitation, Neferti recites the oath of the Magic Knights. To act with dignity, to never stain their honor. To embody chivalry and virtue. To protect the weak and defenseless from any threat. To never be drawn in by the great power she wields, and to instead wield the power only for the benefit of the city, and those who live in it. Uphold the law and order, and repel all attackers.

Cyril places the sword on Neferti's shoulder, the blade's edge at her neck. She does not flinch, and repeats her oath.

Satisfied, he has her stand, returning her sword to her. And with his hands raised, he adorns her with the ornate shining white armor of the Magic Knights. She places a closed hand over her heart in a salute.

His helmet conceals his face, yet she believes she sees a smile in the gaps of the mask as the ceremony ends. Before she leaves, he stops her and confesses in a quiet voice that, when he was a young knight, he fought alongside her grandfather. He looks forward to seeing her live up to his legacy. She smiles, and replies that she will absolutely do so. To do less would be an insult to his memory.

Effects: CHIVALRY AND HONOR DERE, basically.
