A brilliant fire
Ara Sheridan.
From a young Zabrak who struggled immensely with connecting and manipulating the Force, to a woman whose name now brought joy to many within the Order. It hadn't always been the case, and a rather severe incident had created some doubt about her future as a Jedi, but in the end, it was meant to be. She had completed her training, risen above challenges far too great for many to handle, and grown into a Jedi and friend that others could rely on.
Valery had seen much of that growth, and to now stand here and run the ceremony that marked the beginning of a new journey was quite an honor. So as fellow Jedi gathered and Valery's eyes settled on Ara, she'd offer the woman a proud smile.
...
With friends and familiar faces gathered around, Valery stepped forward to raise her violet blade up high above the ceremony, before carefully lowering the blade down to hover just above Ara's left shoulder. "By the right of the council.."
Slowly, the blade shifted to hover just above her head. "By the will of the Force.."
Finally, Valery lowered the blade again, hovering it over the Zabrak's right shoulder. "I dub thee..."
"Knight of the New Jedi Order."
With a final salute of her lightsaber, Valery closed the official part of the ceremony before she disengaged her weapon and returned it to her belt. She offered Ara another proud smile, bowed her head one last time, and turned her gaze to those who were gathered in the halls with them. "Thank you all for attending this most important ceremony. Take the time to congratulate our new Knight, and may the Force be with you all."
