"I got this!"
Ford slips on his yellow suit, and steps in front of a mirror.
"Well, my life in another world officially starts here!"
It has been about 2 months since Ford was summoned to this world.
He heads to the throne room of Arias's Castle, where the Knight's Inauguration takes place. Upon arriving to the throne room, he meets with the master.
Master: "Hellllloooooo Ford!"
"You know, I still have no idea if you're planning something..."
The master let out a smile, not a friendly one, but a dark one, you could call it devious.
Master: "So, I've been quiiiiite suspicious about something... I have a feeling you know more than you're letting on.."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
The master's smile disappears, and he says in a quiet voice-
Master: "I have a feeeeeeeellllllliing you can seeeeeee the future, can you not?"
Ford's eyes widen, and he starts shaking. Then, he says in a shakey voice-
"How did you...."
Master: "Find out? Let's just say it's pretty easy when you know most of the secrets of the world.."
He pulls out a dark red book. It's an old book, most likely from hundreds of years ago.
Master: "This book tells you the secrets of any person in this world... I have to say, I was quite surprised to see your name... As this booooook only contains the most historic figures.."
Ford calms down, frowns and says-
"How can you be so sure it was me then?"
Master: "I suppose you're right..."
The master closed his eyes and released a barrier-
"You set a barrier?!"
Ford was surprised.
Master: I didn't want anyone else to seeeee or heeeeaaarrr our conversation..."
Ford nods as if to say "ok" and heads to the front of the room, where princess Arias is sitting on her throne.
Arias: "I commence that this man be my knight!"
Ford smiles upon hearing that, as it was his goal to become her knight. He had almost forgotten about the conversation he had with the master.
Arias: "Ford Reski, what say you?"
Ford looks up at Arias, and says:
"I only fight for you.. I am your knight, and yours alone... I swear on mother, and father, and all the Knight's of Crowlan."

Arias smiles, and hugs Ford.
And that marks the end of the Knight's Inauguration.
**************
During the After-party
Ford remembers the conversation he had with the master..
Ford's mind: {does he really know?! If so, Is he gonna try to use my ability to get his way??}
Ford was deep in his own thoughts, trying to find out the motives of the master... He was so deep in his thoughts, that he didn't notice Cecilia standing right next to him.
"Oh, Cecilia, I didn't see you there, haha"
Cecilia: "what were you thinking about?"
"Have you ever heard of privacy?!"
Cecilia: "I'm just a little worried, as all. You just became a knight, and you don't look the least bit happy.."
"I'm fine, but thanks for your concern!"
Cecilia says "okay" and walks away. Ford walks to a balcony, where a nice night time view of Crowlan Capital can be seen.
"What a beautiful world... To think I haven't even seen all of it yet..."
Ford looks out into the distance, as he reminisces on all the moments he had in this world so far..
"A lot has happened in these two months, and a lot more is to come in the future..."
Arias walks out-
Arias: "Ford? What were you talking about?"
"Oh, Arias!"
He shakes his head, and says-
"Nothing, don't worry about it.."
Arias: "hmm.. okay"
"So is it okay for me to ask what you've been up to?"
Arias: "hmmmm.... Well, Rae mentioned your name an awful lot... He really missed you."
"Speaking of Rae.. what happened to that guy?"
Arias: "He's sleeping right now... Spirits use up a lot of energy over the course of the day.."
"Ah..."
Arias: "Well I'm going to head inside... Want to come?"
"No, you can go, I'll meet up with you later.."
Arias heads back inside of the castle and Ford continues to stare at the nice view..
Ford's mind: {I wonder... Where is fate gonna take us next...}
**************
Ford heads back inside and meets up with Arias and Cecilia.
The After-party continues.
