Mara Sov stops channeling her power to speak with you. You feel a sudden weight settle on your shoulders again and realize you'd grown used to the strength granted by her favor.

"We Awoken were first struck when we came between the Traveler and its hunter," she explains, "and I chose my people above either one."

"The choice has come again, and my answer is no different. I do not blindly defend the Light, and I do not listen to the Voice in the Darkness. Instead, I choose that which holds Light and Dark together in hands and heart."

Her hard eyes fix on you, and her expression is deadly serious.

"I choose you."

Mara's hands glow with power as she traces delicate patterns in the air.

"Detach. Fall forward. Number among the first. Awaken."

With those words, Mara officially knights you into her Queensguard.
