[QUOTE="VLAD the Destroyer, post: 6969201, member: 6803188"] Salahuddin watched Amina and Kaniel swear their oaths. The difference between their actions could not have been more different. One was simple much like the woman who said the words. The other was elaborate and flowing like the man himself. When the Sheikh stepped in front of Salahuddin the man was prepared to say what was needed to appease the man. He took the blade in his hand preparing to speak the oath. As the Sheikh spoke of serving the Enlightened Throne above all others, even the Great Caliph's airy throne Salahuddin glanced up. The man did not understand what he had just asked. Salahuddin's oath to his patron went beyond words. It was the source of his power. It was seared into his bones and the breath of his patron filled his lungs and let him speak words of power and binding. The pause extended much longer than was comfortable. Would the Great Caliph be angered if he spoke the words even if in his heart he would never put mortals above his immortal will. His heart beat in his chest unsure. Then a cool breeze blew through the tent ruffling the flaps and stirring Salahuddin's robes. He had his answer. This oath was only a mortal oath. An oath to kings and sheikhs could not overwite the will of his patron. He thanked the winds. [B]"I will do what I can. On my life I will serve the enlightened throne above all mortal powers."[/B] Salahuddin places his lips on the blade. Salahuddin ignores the viziers theatrics. Salahuddin stood and moved back with the others. [/QUOTE]
