Hello everyone.. This a little extra story, written as a special birthday present for "Jedi-Kay Kenobi". So lets all join in and sing a birthday song.

Hope you enjoy this little fic.

Lady Kathryn hurried trough the narrow corridors. Lifting up her dress, so she wouldn't trip over the seams, as she ran towards the main square of the castle. Hopefully she wasn't too late for the ceremony to start. She always loved watching the initiation of the new Royal knights of Cloister. Today three young boys would receive the honor of knighthood after having passed their tests of courage, strength, loyalty and humanity.
When she reached the square, it was already packed with villagers of the town and residents of the castle.

Up on the balcony Kathryn could make out the golden silhouettes of King Brahmwell and lady Isabelle. On a large stage the three new knights-to be had formed a row. She could hardly make out their faces from the distance she was in.

"Excuse me madam... sorry...my apologies sir... Ohm I do beg your pardon.." Kathryn uttered as she pushed herself through the crowd to reach the front of the stage...Yes, I made it!... she thought happily.

From here she had the best point of view. She could even make out the both proud and scared emotions on the faces the young men, as they tried to look as stern as possible.

Kathryn let out a deep sigh, as the captain of the royal knights entered the stage. With his blue eyes, fine posture and a hairdo that made you believe the winds came in from all directions at once, lord Elmont was the best looking man on the kingdom. Or so she thought.

Butterflies hit her stomach as he glanced her way. Kathryn could have sworn to see the corner of his lips curl into a little smile, when he saw her.

Behind her, the crowd stated to cheer, urging on the beginning of the ceremony.

The order of the festivities was always the same. Lord Elmont would address each young boys personally about the improvements he had made and the bravery he'd shown. After that the King would come down from the balcony and officially knighted them with a flick of his sword.

To finish, When Lord Elmont would hand out the royal insigne's of Cloister for their new armor.

Kathryn clapped and cheered the loudest of all as she jumped up and down her feet.

All too soon the ceremony was over and the people slowly went out their way through the castle gates. Kathryn lingered behind a little longer, still feeling too energized from all the excitement in order to go home.

"Front row, again... milady?"

Kathryn jumped at the deep voice behind her. Her cheeks blushed crimson when she saw who was behind her.

"Lord Elmont" she replied as she gave him a little bow. "Yes... I ..I like the ceremony, sir."

Elmont chuckled... "Yes I know, you're on the front row every year. Tell me, why do you like it so much?"

She lifted her head to him; her eyes sparkling. "The assignments they have to do. It shows so much courage and they need to be so clever to pass. To be able to do all that and always think of the good of others; for Cloister".

Elmont laughed at her enthusiasm. "Well, milady.. keep up with that energy and eagerness we might see you up this stage soon".

"Oh no that's impossible." She told him matter-of-factly. Elmont raised an eyebrow in surprise, obviously not used of hearing any kind of back-talk.

"I mean sir, as you know...becoming a knight is only for men of noble blood." Kathryn stammered

"I know for a fact that true bravery has nothing to do with bloodline, nor gender for that matter. True bravery can only be found at heart. " Elmont gave her a warm smile. "now you'd better go home, milady; before the sun goes down"

Kathryn curtsied and rushed homeward.
