"Myth! You can't go! You are a mere peasant, and how would your family respond? What about us, all that we've been through? You're really going to leave it all behind - leave me, behind - to become some Knight?" I hear Wes say, his voice cracking. I slowly turn to face him, my proud smile slowly turning into a frown at the sight of his disheveled hair and tear stained face. Blinking back my own tears, I barely manage to whisper "I have to, and you know that Wes. Don't you know that I wouldn't just up and leave if I wasn't being forced? It's father, Wes. There's nothing I can do." Wes's frown seemed to grow, and his eyes once again started flowing with tears. He slowly approaches me, and wraps his sturdy arms around me softly. I allow myself to stay in his arms for a minute, before slowly pulling away. I felt around my neck, before remembering my father had took away the necklace Wes had given me. I had planned to give it back to him, but I always seemed to forget that I didn't have it anymore. So I reluctantly said goodbye, leaving him behind with nothing. ******** It took me a good while to find where I was supposed to be going. But once I got there I didn't know how I had missed it. I stare up at the large doors, before carefully opening one. I slowly step inside, and pushing my hair away from my eyes I quietly say "I wish to become a Knight." (I hope this ok, and that I did this right! I'll make a log/thread later, after I've got a review done.)

We gladly welcome you to the Order, @ParanormalMyth! The Commander will grant you the rank of Knight as soon as you provide the links to ten Green Room reviews bestowed upon their respective receivers after you became aware of the Order's existence. (Of course, you can also simply post the link to your log, which most of us do.) In the meantime, feel free to visit the Squires' Dormitory and introduce yourself there. If you have any questions, ask me, @Iggy, @dragonfphoenix, @Aley, or anyone else that is available.
In other news, I claim my Badge of the Shrubbery! Enspoilered below you will find the link to the review.

Winter is inevitable. Spring will return eventually, and AstralHunter with it.
(Thank you, AstralHunter!) (I switched my um, story type posts to third person. Sorry for any confusion. I may edit the first one to be third person as well)
Myth slowly made her way out of the dark forest, and wiped her sweaty palms off on her torn pants. She let out a deep sigh as she made her way to the castle with her first ten accomplishments. ***** Myth arrived at the castle and once again stared at the doors. She quickly tried to make herself look presentable, with little success. She carefully opened the heavy door, and looked around. She reluctantly walked up to someone who looked of high power, and taking a deep breath she quietly said "I think I earned the right to be a Knight." She handed over her List Of Accomplishments, and then stared down at the floor. She honestly felt quite scared, so she nodded goodbye and ran out of the castle like the coward she was.

I have earned my "full armor" badge because I completed 45 reviews. @Iggy.

So I have accomplished 250 Green Room Reviews: Knight Aley I just need to decide where to put my Chest of Gold. Probably right next to my Chest of Silver.
