Many of those who wished to join the Brotherhood memorized the Oath, while others simply read it off the canvas, but it was expected that they knew the worth and meaning of the words, the Oath was binding and Jazper would expect every member of the Brotherhood to follow him without question. It was a huge sacrifice of the individual for the pack. The position meant prestige within the pack, respect and rank but it also meant that they would put their life on the line for others, and that they were expected to portray Casa di Cavalieri a certain way to others. Although around the pack the Sun King was very well known for being a kind and gentle man, even playful, when it came to the Oath he kept a soft smile and held his tongue, expressing himself in the same formal manner Neela held, encouraging the seriousness of the situation.
He listened to the words that were carefully spoken, taking in each sentence as the dogmix spoke them. As she finished and looked up to him questioningly he brought his large hands together on the handle of his claymore and ever so gently tapped each shoulder of the red women. I accept your Oath on behalf of the Leadership. You are a strong woman Neela, very capable of representing your pack. You may raise, a Knight of Casa. Extending a large hand, palm up, he offered to help her up with a warm smile. He was proud of Neela. She had come into the pack a mere fisher and here she was, a Knight in every right and becoming more a part of the pack than ever before.
