Maeera waited for the elders to show up at the steps of the ancient statues of Acrania. This was the place where most of the Noble rituals took place. She was absorbed by the feeling that she would finally become what she had been working towards all her life.

The statues were large depictions of the founders of Acrania after the darkness. There were three statues. The two to the side held different ancient Acram weapons, while the one in the middle held a chart. The statues were at least ten times the size of Maeera. Behind the statues was the temple of knowledge, where the elders were conducting the first steps of the Noble ceremony.

It’s finally going to happen, Maeera thought. I will gain the title of Noble before my name. I’m about to achieve one of the greatest honors in the history of Acrania. I’ll be part of the Golden Armada and get to command my own fleet. I wonder how many ships will be at my disposal. How many warriors? Though, isn’t it too soon for me to become a Noble? I still have many battles to win before I can become a Noble.

Maeera’s enthusiasm began to plummet, as she suspected that there was something else behind her sudden elevation in rank. Rage began to take over.

As the elders came out from the temple, she tried to brush aside her feelings. She needed to focus.

“We gather here,” Thromos said with a grandiose tone as he spread out his arms, “to elevate a brave Acram warrior to the highest of the ranks.”

Maeera bowed her head.

“But first,” Thromos said, his voice now flat, “there is an important matter to discuss. It is early to award you the rank of Noble, but a special assignment should more than make up for it. That’s if you can pull it off.”

I knew it, I knew there was something else, Maeera thought as she attempted to control her temper. But there is nothing I can do, nothing I should do. These are our great elders, the ones who know best, the ones who are leading us to victory. Perhaps, there being something else might make me all the more special. Whatever they ask from me, I will do it. No matter what it is, I will not taint the Noble name.

“There’s a Noble amongst the Golden Armada who concerns us,” Irah said. “We suspect this Noble has gone insane with power and is no longer fit to be the highest of the Nobles. If you should find the slightest hint of betrayal towards us, kill him where he stands. If you should accept this, we will proceed with the ceremony.”

“I accept it with great honor,” Maeera said as she stooped to the floor.

“Perhaps someday you will take his place,” Thromos said. “Let the Noble ceremony begin.”
