The Anointing of the Battle Master

The Anointing of the Battle Master

The court was abuzz with the weighty matters of the realm, and today, the topic of discussion was a significant one - the bestowal of a moniker upon the illustrious commander, Maya.

King Alden, flanked by his advisors, sat upon the throne, a tapestry of embroidered dragons behind him signifying the lineage of Valyria. The air was thick with anticipation as the council debated the fitting title for the victorious commander.

Councillor Eldric, with a tuft of white beard cascading down his chest, spoke first. "Your Majesty, I propose we call her the 'Blade of Valyria.' It captures her prowess in battle and her dedication to our kingdom."

Queen Sabrina, ever the voice of reason, countered, "Blade implies a singular focus. Our Maya is more than a blade; she is the strategist, the mind behind the victories."

The court erupted in a flurry of opinions. Some favored 'Stormbringer,' alluding to her swift and forceful tactics, while others championed 'Ironheart' for her unwavering resolve.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Amidst the verbal jousting, Prince Adrian, a thoughtful young man with the air of someone wise beyond his years, rose to speak. "Maya is not just a blade or a storm. She's a master of battles. A Battle Master, if you will."

His words hung in the air, causing a moment of contemplative silence. The king, considering his son's suggestion, nodded thoughtfully. "Battle Master... It carries weight and acknowledges not just her victories but her strategic brilliance."

The court seemed to collectively agree with the prince's insight. Even the advisors, who had been embroiled in the debate, found a consensus in the simplicity and grandeur of 'Battle Master.'

King Alden, his decision made, addressed the assembly. "Henceforth, let it be known that Maya, our valiant commander, shall bear the moniker 'Battle Master,' a title befitting her skills, her victories, and the wisdom she brings to our kingdom."

The proclamation resonated through the courtroom, and an air of satisfaction settled over the assembly. The newly anointed Battle Master, though not present, would soon bear her new title with the weight and honor it deserved.
