Jorech looked at them, and grinned, "Well, I was disappointed by the number of drop outs. But I would rather the weak fall than weigh down the strong. It has been a long, hard year for you all. But you have all come out stronger. And you deserve rewarded for it." A couple of soldiers wheeled in 2 carts covered in a cloth. The shapes in the cloth clearly showed that they were swords however. "I have paid attention and spoke with your trainers. With their recomendation I have forged you all longswords designed for each of your fighting styles. Though all of you were trained the same way, how you fight differs slightly from person to person. These swords are for you and you alone." Jorech walked forward and removed the cloth revealing 20 longswords with matching daggers. Tania and Shaxx walked over to the carts. "From each end one of you come forward and claim your blade."
As directed the fresh rangers came up one at a time from each end of their formation and took their blade. Some of the blades were all unique, some were meant for slicing, others stabbing. Each ones balance was different and their matching dagger also was fit into the unique designs. One for instance was a sword mant for parrying rather than killing but the dagger was long and thin, meant to do the killing.
Finally Birdie's turn.

When her name is called, Birdie steps up and picks up her sword and dagger. She smiles as she lifts the sword. It's thin, reminiscent of her old fencing rapier, but not too thin. Fast enough for her to get the point in between armor plates, but heavy enough to block a broadsword's strike. And the dagger, with its full basket guard to aid in parrying. She notes with satisfaction that both blades have the royal family's sigil engraved into them. She turns to Ranger Shaxx and Tania.
"Thank you, Ranger Shaxx. And thank you Optio-Legate-Rex Alwhin."
She smiles and steps back into line. These really are some nice blades.

The two trainers nodded in return.
"With these blades, you are all soldiers of Aaedan. Of you 2 have been selected to graduate as Centurions. Ender Bartholomew, and Birdie Tiller. You are hearby awarded the rank of Centurion. The rest of you will have to wait for the next batch of recruits to get promoted or prove you deserve it out in the field where the rest of your training will take place. All the knowledge you gained in the class rooms, the practice of your weapons, and the ability to move through the woods unseen will be put into practice out there. But you can return to your homes. See your families and rest after a hard days worked now. The trials may be over but the true meaning of being a ranger has not yet set in. Go home Soldiers of Aaedan. You've earned it!" The king saluted to the group.
After they saluted back Shaxx ordered, "Dismissed!" and the new ranger quickly took their leave.
Jorech would wait on Birdie, he knew that they would be heading to the same place.

Birdie glances back. Of course it's cadet Bartholomew. She hates cadet Bartholomew. He resented her for being a foreigner, and she disliked how his hair was always greasy. Ah well. Maybe he'll be killed in action. Although that isn't likely. He may be irritating, but he knows what he's doing. Birdie walks once again to Jorech, putting cadet Bartholomew out of her mind.
"Thank you once again, sir."
She salutes him, smiling.

He saluted back, but quickly relaxed, "Don't thank me. Thank yourself. You earned it. Trust me, I don't promote people for no reason. Especially right out of the academy." He smiled "I invited you to live at the palace but you've been in training the whole time. I don't think you actually made it there. Care to head home? Or would you rather find some of your friends and celebrate first?"

Birdie smiles.
"They can wait. I'd love to see the palace, after all this time. You're right, I don't believe I've ever been there."
She glances at cadet Bartholomew, who's glaring at her.
"Besides, I don't think we'd get on too well. They can wait, I know where they'll be. And they'll be there all night."

He followed her Gaze to Bartholomew. When the king's eye met Enders the cadet looked away in shock almost. "Ah yes. The Bartholomews. They are very... proud of their Aaedanian blood. Something you lack. He actually complained to his father when you received accomadations last year. In truth, I think he envys you." He looked away from the young Bartholomew. "Come let us go see the palace. I had a room prepared for you."

"Really? A room for me? I'm flattered. Thank you, sir."
She smiles and follows the king to the palace, ignoring cadet Bartholomew.
