"Awesome. Let"s get to it then" Taka said in an excited tone.Obviously he had no idea how to do this so he can sort it the one person that did.
"Hacker, you there buddy?"
[Of course you"re Highness. How might I be of a.s.sistance?]
"I was just wondering how exactly do I knight people?"
[That"s very simple your highness, simply summon Excalibur and have the person say the knights vow, while tapping Excalibur on one shoulder then the other.]
"And what exactly is the knight"s vow?"
[Whatever the knight wishes it to be your majesty.]
"Oh so it"s like a promise."
[Simply put, yes it"s a solemn promise.]
"Makes sense I guess."
[Is that all you"ll be needing your majesty?]
"Yes, that"s all for now. Thanks Hacker."
[My pleasure, Your Highness.]
….
"So you figured out how to do it yet?" Snow Asked.
"Obviously, don"t you know who I am?" Taka replied in a mock authoritarian voice.
"So how do we do this then?"
"I summon Excalibur, you kneel and make your knights vow, while I tap you on the shoulders with Excalibur, pretty simple really." Taka replied regurgitating what Hacker had told him.
"And what exactly is a knight"s vow?" Snow asked. Taka smirked while replying, knowing that he"d just asked Hacker exactly the same thing.
"Whatever you wish it to be."
Snow nodded. "Makes sense I guess, each person"s vow would mean something slightly different and be personal to them."
"Shall we get started?" Asked Taka.
Snow nodded.
"Quick question before we start though?"
"Hmm what is it?" asked Snow.
"Which name do you want to go under when you are knighted?" Asked Taka curious to what Snow would pick.
"What do you mean?" Snow asked confused.
"Well do you want to go under your real name "Darrius Witcher" or your codename "Snow"?"
Snow paused to think, while Taka continued.
"Bare in mind that you"ll probably go by this name for the rest of your life. So think about it before you decide?" Taka said in one of his rare moments of seriousness.
Snow stood thinking for several minutes. Tapping his finger against his arm, tapping his foot against the floor. It was clear that this decision before snow was a difficult one. Time continued to tick by face. Finally relief made an appearance on Snow"s face.
Snow looked up eyes clearer than they"d been in a long time.
"You"ve decided then?" Taka asked.
"Yeah I"ve decided." Snow replied with a smile.
"Which name are you using then?" You could hear the curiosity in Taka"s tone.
"I think I"m sticking with Snow."
"I was hoping you"d say that." Taka said with a chuckle. While Snow just smiled.
"Shall we get started then?" Asked Snow his excitement now showing.
"Let"s." Taka relied with a clap of his hands.
…
Snow knelt before Taka. Taka summoned Excalibur and placed it in front of him ready to begin. "You ready?" he asked. Snow nodded. The knighting ceremony was underway.
Taka raised Excalibur and placed it on Snows shoulder. Snow began to speak his vow.
…
I, Snow of the Crimson snow,
Hereby vow to be protect, honour and mock, his majesty, King Taka Everlast.
Be it by sword shield or tongue.
I swear to protect him with my life,
My honour and whatever resources I have at my disposal.
Be it against enemy or ally,
Friends or family,
No harm will befall him as long as breath is still within me.
I swear, I will forever be a Knight of King Taka"s round table.
...
With the vow now completed. The ceremony was complete.
An ancient voice was heard.
"Arise, Sir Snow, Of the Crimson Snow. First Knight of the Round Table"
…
When Snow stood, Taka"s bloodline went into overdrive.
Light started to surround Snow as Taka"s bloodline began to work its magic. Snow"s strength began to skyrocket due to the effect of the skill "The Knights of the Round Table". His strength climbed and climbed, breaking through to the uplifted realm all the way up to bronze rank stage 2 star. This may not sound overly impressive but for an ordinary mortal this was an extraordinary feat, one that hadn"t happened in millennia.
The transformation continued, as Taka watched he realised that Snow had begun to look younger. It only then struck Taka that his bloodline was transforming Snow into the stronger version of himself and then improve him on top of that.
When the transformation was nearing it"s a new light burst from Snow. The light was a pale blue colour. Taka knew what it was immediately.
Snow"s new ability was unlocking itself. Taka had nothing to do, so he decided to speak with Hacker.
"Hacker how will we know what his ability is? It"s not like he"ll have a status window like me."
[Due to your highness being the holder of "The Knights of the Round Table" you will be able to view Sir Snow"s new ability.]
"Well that"s useful. When will his transformation be complete?"
[It shouldn"t be long now.]
Before long a burst of power exploded from Snow as he dropped to the ground. The pale light fading from him as he stood.
Taka was confused as Snow was now holding a sword which he wasn"t before.
Snow just stood there with his eyes shut and Taka understood what was happening right away. Snow had somehow gained a form of enlightenment in the way of the sword. The intent coming from the sword continued to fluctuate.
Taka decided to stay quiet and let Snow finish up. While he did he spoke to Hacker to find out what ability Snow had unlocked.
"Hacker can you show me Snow"s new ability?"
[Of course, you"re Highness.]
…
[Knight: Sir Snow of the Crimson Snow.
Ability: Supernatural Swordsmanship.]
….
"Well that would explain his current state. Can you give me an explanation of the ability? Please Hacker."
[Of course]
…..
[Ability: Supernatural Swordsmanship.
Supernatural Swordsmanship gives the user the ability to wield the sword with supernatural proficiency in speed, power, and skill, allowing them to perform seemingly impossible feats with ease, such as cutting through invulnerable or intangible things and blocking or deflecting things that should be impossible to block or deflect. This ability also allows the user to manifest sword intent using it to slash targets or fire it off at will.]
..
Looking at Snows ability, Taka was slightly shocked by how powerful it was and how well it suited Snow.
"Well d.a.m.n." Was all he could say.
Snow soon awoke from his enlightenment. His eyes met Taka"s and a smile graced his lips.
"Sir Snow, reporting for duty. My King."
