Ardo stood at attention as his father stepped forward and pinned the Badge of the Red Fang on his chest. Ardo swelled with pride as his father stepped back and saluted him.
"Sergeant Malisse, are you confident in your abilities to serve the Emperor, the Legion, your Brothers and your own conscience?"
"Yes, Tiger Lord."
Leo Felis took his son and embraced him, armor and all, then held him at arms length.
"I have always been proud to call you my son, Ardo Malisse, but I am even more proud to call you what you have been, are, and always will be: an Astartes, a Space Marine."
