From Chat Log:<\/p>\n

[11:42] Felicity Coronet pauses now that a fire burns at the ruins and takes two scrolls from Her belt.
\n[11:43] Felicity Coronet: Carefully unrolling each, She prepares to speak
\n[11:44] Felicity Coronet: Sisters, look into the distance and see if any others of the Tribe are on their way
\n[11:45] Felicity Coronet: She clears Her throat and looks to the Sisters assembled
\n[11:46] Felicity Coronet: Asante My Sisters for being here at this most important place and time
\n[11:46] Felicity Coronet: We have important business for Tribal Council to consider
\n[11:47] Felicity Coronet: This moment has been repeated many times over the years and all of You have stood where Donna now stands prepared to answer a most important question
\n[11:48] Felicity Coronet: Pledge, We have a question of great importance to ask
\n[11:48] Felicity Coronet: You have lived with Us, hunted Our lands, interacted with the Tribe
\n[11:48] Felicity Coronet: In that time We have come to know You and You to know Us
\n[11:49] Felicity Coronet: But now, the time has come. You cannot continue as a Pledge of the Wa Ngao any longer
\n[11:49] Felicity Coronet: So, I ask You . . . what is it You wish now?
\n[11:50] Felicity Coronet pauses as the Pledge reponds<\/p>\n

[11:50] Donna (donnaaog): I wish to stand with you all as a Sister<\/p>\n

[11:50] Felicity Coronet nods having heard the Pledge’s request
\n[11:50] Felicity Coronet: Sisters, You have heard this Pledge make a request of Us
\n[11:51] Felicity Coronet: Will YOu accept Her as One of Us?<\/p>\n

[11:51] Loniki Loudon: She has done all we have asked of her and then some. Yes<\/p>\n

[11:51] Felicity Coronet nods to Nasiha and awaits others<\/p>\n

[11:51] Wendy Jelasco: Aii<\/p>\n

[11:54] Donna (donnaaog): Aii En<\/p>\n

[11:54] Felicity Coronet: Let Us begin
\n[11:54] Felicity Coronet: First . . . As a Wa Ngao I am true to myself.<\/p>\n

[11:54] Donna (donnaaog): I will play my role in the tribe to the best of my ability. I carry my weight in the tribe. Be it slave, Huntress, or En, I am the best I can be.<\/p>\n

[11:55] Felicity Coronet: Second . . . As a Wa Ngao I am true to my tribe<\/p>\n

[11:55] Donna (donnaaog): I will never disrespect my tribe. The honor of the Wa Ngao is great and I will never tarnish it willingly or intentionally.<\/p>\n

[11:55] Felicity Coronet nods
\n[11:55] Felicity Coronet: Third . . . As a Wa Ngao I will honor my Sisters.<\/p>\n

[11:56] Donna (donnaaog): 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.<\/p>\n

[11:56] Felicity Coronet: Fourth . . . As a Wa Ngao I will honor my home.<\/p>\n

[11:56] Donna (donnaaog): The lands of my home are the homes of my sisters. Our homes are sacred and are respected. Our home provides shelter and sustenance. I will fiercely protect my home.<\/p>\n

[11:57] Felicity Coronet: Fifth . . . As a Wa Ngao I will protect my heritage.<\/p>\n

[11:57] Donna (donnaaog): Our past builds our future. Our future becomes our past in time. Our heritage reflects our honor on a third dimension.<\/p>\n

[11:57] Felicity Coronet: Sixth . . . As a Wa Ngao I will honor Gor.<\/p>\n

[11:58] Donna (donnaaog): 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.<\/p>\n

[11:58] Felicity Coronet: Seventh . . . As a Wa Ngao I will build on the future<\/p>\n

[11:58] Donna (donnaaog): 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.<\/p>\n

[11:59] Felicity Coronet smiles softly and then looking first to the Pledge Donna and then to each of Her Sisters, She nods
\n[11:59] Felicity Coronet: Two fluids are essential for life
\n[11:59] Felicity Coronet: Without either one, a person perishes
\n[11:59] Felicity Coronet: One is water
\n[11:59] Felicity Coronet: The other blood
\n[11:59] Felicity Coronet: Such is also true with families
\n[12:00] Felicity Coronet: Two are required for a full and complete life. To keep from perishing
\n[12:00] Felicity Coronet: One is Our “Family of Blood”, those who We are bound to by birth
\n[12:00] Felicity Coronet: The Other is Our “Family of Water”, those We meet and bond with in Life
\n[12:00] Felicity Coronet: Two Families, both essential to a successful and happy life
\n[12:01] Felicity Coronet turns and take the sheath and bow called the Wrath of the Wa Ngao from the great stone
\n[12:01] Felicity Coronet: Holding it out She offers it to Donna
\n[12:01] Felicity Coronet: Accept this tribal bow Sister<\/p>\n

[12:02] Donna (donnaaog): raises my arms and proudly receives the bow and sheath from EN<\/p>\n
