Knight Alliyah, Member of the Court of the Green Room, Court Magician, and loyal Member of the After Watch had a horrible habit. She hated to read the last chapter of novels, finding it too incredibly sad to see a story go with all the adventures and characters closing that final page. And perhaps among many practical obstacles, that is why she had delayed this final(?) knighthood venture for so many moons. The last reviews for this quest had been within arm's reach for years now, but today would finally be a close of one story, a decade in the making. Knight Alliyah was finally coming to the Great Hall to claim her unicorn.

Back when Knight Alliyah joined as a Squire in June 2013, she could hardly have imagined the journeys that knighthood would place her on. The prospect of defending the Green Room had captured her heart from the first steps in this Great Hall. She remembered many noble quests; pledging loyalty to the first battalion of the After Watch under the leadership of the very noble Knight @Hannah, joining the Court of the Commander, clearing the rubble and restoring the library with her comrade Captain Jack, finding her very own golden goose, and going on the @KotGRCommander's missions in space, in haunted houses, and throughout the lands of YWS as a member of the Court. She had so many fellow knights to recall fondly from her years in KotGR and so many adventures to remember. All this spun around in Knight Alliyah's head as she opened the doors of the Great Hall and walked up the familiar Green carpet.

When she had joined the KotGR, the order had been less than 30 knights, but now the Great Hall was bustling with activity with nearly 200 knights among their ranks. She noted some of the members of the Court @keystrings, @looseleaf, @Shady counting up some tallies from the recent review day. Many knights conversing around the Hall stopped to point as Knight Alliyah led her horse Grendel, and the recently caught unicorn, that she intended to name Unclassified after her favorite YWS movement, up towards the front, trailed by a small flock of chickens Alliyah brought along with her on her travels. The horse, Grendel walked a good distance away from the unicorn not quite sure what to make of it yet. Knight Alliyah had heard that unicorns were some of the most difficult beasts in all of YWS to tame, and she knew she would be reaching out to the five other unicorn keepers Knights @KateHardy, @BluesClues, @Virgil, @Iggy, and @niteowl for some of their advice and wisdom.

While it had been years since Knight Alliyah had come forward to claim a badge of her own in these halls, she knew the routine well and with a flourish unrolled her knight's log of 500 reviews before the front of the Great Hall, knelt before the Commander and the Court and said loudly, "I believe the final battle has been won for me. I submit the final page of my knight log as I have successfully defeated my 500th Green Room Review, acquired a unicorn among the lands of the Green Room, and fulfilled all the necessary paperwork. Pending all requirements being found in order, I hereby request to be granted permanent rights to keep this unicorn, Unclassified, in my stables and utilize her powers for missions of knighthood. Huzzah!"

The Commander pushed the doors to the Great Hall open wide, and wearing a brightly painted yellow jacket that caught all kinds of attention from the knights inside simply doing their jobs.

“Huzzah! I hear we have some rather exciting business to attend to and trophies to hand out. Will the KotGR Court help attend the needs of our fellow knights and fighters of all kinds?”

They swung their head towards the frantically moving KotGR Court who tried their best to not drop half a dozen swords and shields and horse reigns on the floor in their haste to attend The Commander. They eventually step off their mighty steed and let go of the saddle for another knight to retrieve the now loose horse.

“Ah, never mind. Who do we have here to attend to? A new knight-to-be, I see! Step forward, good soldier, @herbalhour ! Here, you may take some training knives to fight your way through those terrible Green Room beasts. May you seek 10 swiftly and return to fight further on!”

Castle Grounds Consultant @keystrings stepped forward to give the standard-issue weapons.

“Now, onward, we go, with a new horse to add to our ever-growing stables! Knight @OrabellaAvenue you are welcomed to the riding teams of the Knights of the Green Room! What a fine name for a horse, Lime!”

The Commander waved a hand to indicate the inclusion of the house and a knight stepped up to help with necessary equipment for the new rider.

They cleared their throat to command attention before raising their scroll with a triumphant yell. “For our final, but ever so mighty announcement, we have a new Unicorn to declare in our stables! And not just any, but from our very own, highly esteemed, highly dedicated and decorated Knight @alliyah who has come at last, to declare her incredible unicorn forever known as Unclassified! May their future ridings and fightings against Green Room beats be the greatest of all!”

The Great Hall bursted into loud cheers and swords banging on anything in reach.

“Let us hear one more huzzah in honor of Knight Alliyah and her achievements! Let the next wave of Knights be just as brave and valiant as those before them! Huzzah!”

Knight Hardy marched into the hall. It had been many moons since she needed to return to the great hall with tidings about a badge but it had finally happened. Knight Hardy had defeated two entire novels.

One was all way back in the ancient past of 2021: Proof

And now the second one slain just today:

Spoiler


Knight Hardy does a bold flourish tripping over her parchment, the leaves falling out of her hair. She clears her throat.

"Apologies. I wish to claim a KINGDOM!"

Another dramatic flourish and she was back on the floor. She huffed and lay there for the moment. Doing all those reviews had tired her out a little. She needed a small nap.

The Commander had been busy recently in the KotGR mines searching for new reserves of Bronze, Silver, and Gold since so much from their banks had to be contributed to YWS Olympics Badges. But thankfully with the two recently found golden goslings in tow they'd been able to find a new reserve of Gold to use for knightly and YWS ventures. The Commander had the upmost hope that in the next months the 3rd baby golden gosling would be found with a cleared Green Room because they knew it weighed terribly on mother Golden Goose to have one of her babies lost.

The Commander walked into the Great Hall and passed some "Missing Baby Gooose" posters to a @22Midnight and @keystrings to help post on the walls and local taverns.

There was a short line awaiting for business. Huzzah! Is that the moderator @EllieMae? I've been hoping to see your presence in our grand hall! Your reviewing is well-known around these parts, especially in these last months of our goose search - > I enthusiastically declare you to be a Squire equipped with some training knives and excitedly await your return to be made a Knight and full member of our order.

Just then the unmistakably majestic sound of a unicorn neighing echoed around the hall. The Commander looked up to see Dragon Knight @KateHardy, Court Standard Bearer with a rather impressive and lengthy list of shadowy chapters reviewed. The Commander carefully read through the records, it had been moons and moons since Knights @PenguinAttack and later @dragonfphoenix had earned kingdoms, this was a major achievement within their order.

This all seems to be in order, Knight Hardy! I shouldn't be surprised that a decorated knight of your standing has duelly won not just one but two novels entirely reviewed! By your ventures you are hereby entrusted with a Kingdom for your care, to name and protect. You will be in charge to rule Kingdom Parcel 437, just due north of the Town in your care. It's a rocky place, but the vegetation is fruitful and the inhabitants noble. They will be honored to be served by such a knight. The Commander signed the land deed with a flourish and handed it over to Knight Hardy. "Just be sure to inform us when you've named the kingdom, for all our official records!"

And now fellow-knights, I must urge every knight onward to the Green Room to continue the noble work of its clearing until once again we can boast a clear Green Room and find that final lost baby Golden Goose! Huzzah! And happy reviewing!

Knight Que stumbled out of the woods, looking slightly confused and with leaves in her hair.

After wandering for four years and losing some letters of her username along the way, she fought her way to the jeweled chalice!

Dazed, she proffered a scroll of proof of her deeds: Querencia's Log
