Felicity Coronet: First, As a Wa Ngao I am true to myself.

\nMaria Duke: I will never disrespect my tribe. The honor of the Wa Ngao is great and I will never tarnish it willingly or intentionally.
\nAma (Amanita Pavlova) looks around at the gathering, both sisters and kajira and think how grateful She is to be a part of a tribe of extraordinary women.
\nLoniki Loudon Smiles
\nArjay (RJE Resident): I will never disrespect my tribe. The honor of the Wa Ngao is great and I will never trarnish it willingly or intentionally<\/p>\n

Felicity Coronet: Third, As a Wa Ngao I will honor my Sisters.
\nMaria Duke: Be them slave, Huntress, or En, I respect them all the same. Roles are stations in life or jobs but the Sisterhood transcends that. I would never do anything intentionally to make my sisters uncomfortable, embarrassed, or dishonored.

Felicity Coronet: Sixth, As a Wa Ngao I will honor Gor.
\nMaria Duke: I understand that what gor means to others is as important to them as it is to me. While I may not share every idea others may have, I respect their rights to theirs. I do not weigh my values above the values of others and will decline to judge.
\nArjay (RJE Resident): I understand that what gor means to others is as important to them as it is to me. While I may not share every idea others may have, I respect their rights to theirs. I do not weigh my values above the values of others and will decline to judge.
\nFelicity Coronet nods<\/p>\n

Felicity Coronet: Seventh, As a Wa Ngao I will build on the future.
\nMaria Duke: I understand that education is the basis of growth in general and not just personal. I will do my best to project a better understanding of myself, my tribe, my sisterhood, my home, my heritage, and Gor.
\nArjay (RJE Resident): I understand that education is the basis of growth in general and not just personal. I will do my best to project a better understanding of myself, my tribe, my sisterhood, my home, my heritage, and Gor.
\nFelicity Coronet smiles and returns the scroll to Her pouch

Felicity Coronet: Nasiha, You wish to say some words regarding Maria?
\nLoniki Loudon smiles to her new Sisters
\nAnisa Nadir smiles brightly hearing her new Sisters say there pledge to the Tribe
\nLoniki Loudon: I am so happy to have you both
\nLoniki Loudon: Maria
\nLoniki Loudon: I am happy you have joined us Sister. My Sister Maria was the first Huntress I knew in Gor. That was over ten years ago. She took pity in my barbarian and taught me how to be a Huntress. Then she sent me a kajira to please me as a gift when I did become a Huntress. Maria is a Huntress in the truest sense of Gor and to have someone as herself as an example serves our tribe well. Again, thank you for joining us Sister.
\nFelicity Coronet smiles
\nahadi (claireforfun Resident) gulps
\nMaria Duke: smiles shyly
\nLoniki Loudon: I am happy you join us also Arjay

\nLoniki Loudon: You have proven a dangerous ally
\nLoniki Loudon Smiles
\nArjay (RJE Resident) bows her head with respect
\nLoniki Loudon nods to En that she is done<\/p>\n

ahadi (claireforfun Resident) tries to wrap her brain around “dangerous ally” and gives up
\nFelicity Coronet smiles as Nasiha speaks words of praise regarding both Pledge
\nFelicity Coronet turns and takes both bows and sheaths from the great stone
\nLoniki Loudon whispers: better then having wuzz allies silly
\nLoniki Loudon grins
\nFelicity Coronet holds both out and continues to speak
\nFelicity Coronet: Two fluids are essential for life. Without either one, a person perishes<\/p>\n

Felicity Coronet: One is water. The other blood
\nFelicity Coronet: Such is also true with families
\nahadi (claireforfun Resident) whispers: paga is useful too
\nLoniki Loudon quietly bonks Ahadi
\nFelicity Coronet smiles to the S\/sisters gathered here<\/p>\n

Felicity Coronet: Two are required for a full and complete life. To keep from perishing
\nFelicity Coronet: One is Our “Family of Blood”, those who We are bound to by birth
\nFelicity Coronet: The Other is Our “Family of Water”, those We meet and bond with in Life
\nFelicity Coronet: Two Families, both essential to a successful and happy life
\nArjay (RJE Resident) nods<\/p>\n
