Sesshi didn't know how to fully react to what would soon be her new position as one of the leaders, but she was deeply honored. To have her mate with her there to support her was also a blessing in itself, after all it helped give her the courage to fully go through with this. As they reached the other leaders they all bowed and nodded to her as the rest of the members now started to settle down as they found their places for standing. Temachi and the others looked around and waited for everyone to find their places before they turned their gaze back to both Sesshi and Lara.
One of the Troll leaders cleared his throat as he stepped forward and made his way right in front of the two as he bowed before them. "It be a great pleasure to have ye amungst us Sesshi. Ye who have face many hard trials and yet no matta' what was shoved in yer way, ya still stood strong and fought hard. Now here we are, wit ya standin' before us and wit a mate non da less! As one of da leaders, I Jin'taru Earthbinder, leader of da Earthen Ring, accept ya as one of us and embrace ya as not only as a leader, but as a sista. Welcome to da family Sesshi Sunsorrow!" Jin'taru said as he bowed once more and clapped Sesshi on the back before turning his gaze to Lara. "And ye who has never seen our home, yet da ancestors have chosen ya to be Sesshi's mate, we will accept ya into da Earthen Ring as well. Ya be da first one ta ever be joinin' our ranks as a warrior. Be honored Lara Cresthill of Gilneas, for dis night marks the night where ya are no longer one of da Alliance, ye are now of da Earthen Ring. We will be makin' sure dat non of yer petty factions come after ye for yer blood. And wit Sesshi bein' a leader, dat fool Garrosh cannot harm her." He winked as he bowed before he before walking back to his post.
Each of the leaders had given their speech and now it was Temachi's turn to complete the ceremony. The loud clanking sounds from his hoofs could be heard very clearly as he walked in front of the two and bowed. He held in his hands a special headdress that was made only for Sesshi, as he bowed before her. The headdress was similar to her phoenix attire, but was red. "Sesshi Sunsorrow, tonight we celebrate you as not only becoming a full fledged member of the Earthen Ring, but as a leader. For the first time since your kind strayed from it's path as High Elves and forsake nature, it is an honor to have you, a Blood Elf amungst us. You have faced more trials than anyone else due to your nature and what you are, yet no matter what YOU never gave up nor did you forsake nature like the rest of your kind has. With you as a leader of the Earthen Ring we hope that you can become hope for your people and show them, no prove to them that even though they forsake nature there is still hope for them to redeem themselves as you have. You've never given up and you'll never give up. You are not the type of person to simply give up because of what others may think of you or say to you. You have a kind heart and a pure soul, not one filled with hatred or malice. Tonight I am no longer your master, for I have taught you everything I know. Tonight I am your brother and the rest of the leaders are your brothers and sisters. And as the others have stated, I too will stand and protect you from Garrosh's tyranny. He cannot touch you now that you are one of us as not just a member, but as a leader. I present you with this new headdress and you will presented with your new armor that matches this after the ceremony. You are the true Phoenix of the Earthen Ring and like the rest of us, as a leader you will have your own title. Sesshi the Red Phoenix of Hope!" He said as now the all of the members and leaders of the Earthen Ring cheered for Sesshi as Temachi handed her her new headdress. "Th-Thank you mas... Brother." She replied as she took the headdress and bowed before him. "And you Lara Cresthill, even though you are not to be a leader, we have decided to give you your own title, Lara the Protector of Innocents. You are a proud warrior and even though you have not walked the same path as us, you will now. You will come to know our ways and you will proudly follow them. You will not ever use your sword for war ever again, only to us it to protect others. Innocent bloodshed goes against our ways and it is best you learn that now." He said as he winked to Lara before looking at them both now.
"Tonight also marks the night we have a couple blessed by the ancestors who are to be wedded for life. I know of your circumstances Worgen and I know you will do us proud. I also know that..." He paused as he walked closer to Sesshi and placed one of his large hands on her belly gently before speaking again. "I also know that your children will be raised properly and free from the war. Your children will be raised as one of us as the Earthen Ring, therefore insuring their safety." He assured them as he withdrew his hand as Sesshi looked over to Lara with a soft and gentle smile on her face. "Now our ways are different from others, there will be no need of vows to exchange. However you will be bound to one another with not only our blessings, but of the ancestors as well." He said as he motioned for Nighthawk and Jin'taru to come to him. Nighthawk had a drudic bracelet with a phoenix on it in her hands as she presented it to Sesshi and Jin'taru had a warrior's bracelet with a wolf on it in his hands as he presented it to Lara. "With these it will show you two are one of us and are married. These were made special for you two and no other will have one like it. When you change forms Sesshi, the bracelet will resize itself to fit whichever form you take and they cannot be broken. Now, the ceremony is complete! Karien, Jin'taru! Go bring out my best mead and ale! We will now begin the celebration party!" Temachi said with a wide grin on his face as he patted both Lara and Sesshi on the back. "To our new sister and leader! And to our newest member Lara! Lets hear some loud cheers!" He said as he raised his large hands up in the air and no sooner had he done that the entire area was filled with cheers and fireworks were now shooting up into the sky. Tonight was the most precious night for Sesshi and she would cherish it for the rest of her life.
