Nacoma gestured for the three to stand in front of her, in a line, from side to side. She had Vale on the left, Laura in the middle, and Asper on the right, before nodding to a Pilgrim standing by the door. She nodded back, opening them.

There was very soft music coming from somewhere. All the Pilgrims standing in the pews turned to look at them. They walked forward, the four of them, with Nacoma moving up behind them. Eventually, they reached the front, where there was some sort of stand with a basin of coals. The coals were on fire, sending orange flames up. Rowtag stood in front of the fire, and the Wall Commander, the Head Scientist, and another old man stood behind the basin. Rowtag clasped his hands.

"Fellow Pilgrims, today we are here to celebrate new members of our ranks. They have passed the ordeals, and have been deemed worthy of taking a place within our walls. As our founders have said, we are warriors of the innocent, defenders of the weak and tired. These new Pilgrims standing before us shall join the cause, in the charge against the evils of our world." Smiling, Rowtag took a step forward.

"You are to be truly initiated today," he said, "You shall recite our creed, and you shall select where in the Pilgrims you wish to stay. Please, take a knee." Rowtag waited for them to do so, then looked to the audience. As he began to say the Creed, everyone else repeated after him, and the lights in the hall seemed to get brighter and more vivid. At the end, when they had all finished, Rowtag went by the three still kneeling.

"May the Mother of Necessity nurture you," he said to Laura, placing his hand on her shoulder and beckoning her up.

"May the Father of Understanding teach you," he said to Vale, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"And may the light of the Pilgrims guide you." he finally said to Amilanthior, placing a hand on his shoulder. Once they had stood up, Rowtag spread his arms.

"With the powers handed down through generations, I welcome you."

A cheer went out from the crowd.
