Alexis's heart pounded as she gazed toward the armored brunette standing before her. His face remained expressionless, but his eyes...Alexis had never seen anyone who had eyes like that. They seemed to say "You can't scare me. I've seen things you can't imagine." And at the same time, there was something else in them.

Alexis knelt, keeping her gaze on him. He gestured, and one of the gathered students--Hassleberry, she recalled--handed him a golden staff topped with a purple gem.
"Do you, Alexis Rhodes, swear your loyalty to the Order of Haou? Do you vow to aid us in our dream of a better world?"
"Yes. I do."
Jaden tapped Alexis with the staff, once on each shoulder.
"Then rise. From this day forth, you shall be known as the Cyber Priestess."
The small form of Syrus Truesdale stepped forward, holding Alexis's new outfit. Alexis smiled as she took it.
"Thank you, Sire."
