A brilliant fire
Valery looked around the room and smiled welcomingly despite the lingering grim thoughts. This could very well be one of the last Knightings at the Coruscant Temple for the foreseeable future. The Dark Empire was simply too close and she wasn't going to risk bringing this many Jedi together for each and every knighting. But even the Dark Empire needed to lick its wound after a battle, so the Jedi still had some time to wrap things up before relocating the young. What better way to let the Galaxy know there was hope by knighting one of the most promising young Jedi?
Ko Vuto happened to be a Jedi Padawan Valery had interacted with herself on occasion. He had always come across as kind and respectful. Eager to learn and gifted with skills not easy to control. It had never stopped him from doing his utmost to live up to expectations and work hard as a true Jedi.
Now, surrounded by friends and fellow Jedi, it was time for him to take the next step.
...
With the gathering of Jedi watching her every move, Valery stepped closer to raise her violet blade high above the ceremony, before carefully lowering the blade down to hover just above Ko's left shoulder. "By the right of the council.."
Slowly, she re-positioned the blade to rest just above his head. "By the will of the Force.."
Finally, Valery lowered the blade again, hovering it over Ko's right shoulder. "I dub thee..."
"Knight of the New Jedi Order."
A final salute of her blade followed before she disengaged it and returned the weapon to her belt. Her eyes were still focused on Ko for a moment longer, but with his new rank official, it was time for others to recognize the Order's new Jedi Knight. Valery turned, her eyes shifting to Jonyna Si before she dipped her head. If his Master wished to add to the ceremony before his friends congratulated him, now was the time.
This was his moment.
