Kate laughed as she was glad to see he had wit as his letters revealed. She knew he was special; from the moment of his first day of training, she would shower him with rose peddles, or make his fight dummy scream. Little harmless antics that made his fellow fighters think Alistor had done so on purpose. Kate would sure Alistor was the object.<br/>Here she was with him and he was to take the most important wows of his life. She was with him. Kate could note happier or prouder for him. "If you get caught, it would be a dark day indeed. I would be at you side, just as guilty. Together, we can face anything. I feed off your  strength. You only become stronger as a mage the more we are together. I never want to part from you again. You look so much better, you feel nervous. No worries, you are prepared. Remember the king is a man, he is not a god. Just keep your eyes forward. You ears focused on Papa. You get too nervous, palms on the floor, grab the hilt of your sword to release energy; and take deep breaths as you take your oath. This will keep you focused. I will not distract you; I will help you keep your nerve."<br/>Kate hands him two peppermint leaves, "Suck on these them wipe them on the hem of your tunic. They will help the butterflies in your tummy. The mage did not say more as he mind spoke to her. She felt his nerves. *Fear, not, you will not betray your oath. I will not let you. Nor will you let me down. You get you magical strength from the energy around you. I am going to keep you grounded so you can enjoy every moment as you take your oath. Papa, is your center of focus. He will never lead off course. *<br/>Kate, held onto his hand as Alistor, led her to the center of the hall. The hallway was crowded with guests filing into the grand throne room and soldier lined under their Lord's banners. Kate watched as her father called the gathered guests to order to begin the knighting ceremony. Kate stood by Alistor side until he filed in line. *You will do us all proud. You deserve this.* Kate blew him a kiss. *Good Luck! I will be here to greet you as Sir, Knight of the realm. Do not forget to breath. Enjoy, every moment.*
