This last Saints Day the children of Hoonse hosted a sleepover at the Barony of Zvaevauld. During a game of hide and seek, however, an unwelcome visitor strikes, hunting the kids down one by one until dawn.

The children were brave and fought hard, Dame Via never backing down from the fight until she eventually got caught. The first to go.
Jest also fought valiantly, going up against the Ragman until, he too, was taken and joined Via wherever she was. 
The children continued to parole the keep, trying to either defeat the Ragman in a battle or stay safe in their hiding spots. They all grouped together on the stairs and discussed their plan, the children were stronger as a group and had to stick together.
That's when the Ragman appeared right at the bottom of the stairs! His cane sticking out as both Esperanza and Dario were taken just like Via and Jest.
 

As the children banded together to finally take him down, dawn struck. The sun’s rays making his ghostly figure slowly disappear until he was nowhere to be seen. As he disappeared, the children returned, waking up from the most awful nightmares of their lives. They all decided to regroup in the dining hall where a head count took place.
 

Once all the kids were accounted for, Dame Via made an announcement. Two boys had proved themselves worthy of knightship during the Ragman’s attack, protecting all the kids from his wrath.

“Welcome to the Order of the Bees, 
Sir Stefan 'The Quiet Killer' 
and 
Sir Georg 'The Epic Hunter'!”
The Knight Paramount declared.

Once all the commotion had calmed down, the little Grand Lady Julietta, made an announcement. With a handmade flower crown in hand she rose to stand above the rest. She called on Dame Via to stand before her, to which the little Grand Lady made her speech. 

»--•--«

“You have shown great bravery tonight in fighting the ragman. You may have gotten caught but I think it is safe to say you were the bravest one here. And with that, I grant you this reward, the bravest knight of them all!”

»--•--«

 

And crowned the Knight Paramount with her very own flower crown, green vines and dark blue flowers now sitting atop the girls' head.

With this reward of great bravery, it is now customary for Knights to be rewarded by the Grand Lady for their selfless and knightly deeds, the Lady crafting them a gift custom to their person.
