Orange Lantern Oath Novels & Stories

The lady placed the sword in my outstretched hands and I accepted it reciting and repeating the words Emery read out for me. It was an oath pledging myself to Orian and his kingdom, an oath stating that I wouldn't use my position as Queen for injustice nor would I exercise my power unduly, an oath stating that I would do whatever it took to make Avalon prosper and the throne came before my personal wishes and interest.

I looked at her. “But I’m not your enemy. I’m your Luna. And I will spend every day proving I deserve that title.” Harrison studied us both. “The challenge is noted. Luna Thorne has responded appropriately. Does anyone else wish to challenge Luna?” More silence. “Then we proceed with the oath.” Harrison opened the ancient book. “Sage Thorne, please recite the Luna oath.” I turned to face the crowd, Kael at my side. This was it. I spoke clearly, projecting my voice as Eleanor had taught me:

he continued before any of the girls could answer to his initial question. “Long live the Luna, the one who paves the way for all, one whose birth and very existence was ordained by the moon goddess to bring light and save our kind,” The three of them recited. I exchanged glances with Draven. Did they have this memorized? “Please proceed,” a loud voice echoed from inside the hut, and without waiting for another second, Draven pulled me inside. The oracle sat cross-legged on the floor, her eyes staring into space and her lips moving rapidly without forming any words. She held a small calabash in her hands and if her lips weren’t moving, one would think she was frozen to the spot.

His eyes haven’t left mine. Lee delivers me to Liam, placing my hands in his only to then step in front to conduct the ceremony himself. First is the Luna coronation. Liam gently turns my palm up, linking this may hurt a small amount. I feel no pain as he gently slices my palm and then his own.

“What?” “Yes sir. Apparently, we are her oracles. She made it so I can draw the scene.” I said holding up the drawing pad. “And Liz sees the whole picture as like a video of sorts.” “I never dreamed I’d be alive to see an oracle of the Moon Goddess!” Alpha James exclaimed. “So, you believe us?” Liz asked. “Of course, I do! There are many books that tell of different oracles through the ages and how coveted they are. We cannot let anyone know about you two.”

"Universe beyond, the Great Eternal, the one who lives in all things and gives us life, give me the power to protect those I love, to cherish them as I should, and defend them until my last breath. As the Oracle is your voice, let me be your sword and shield. I give over to you all that I am." "Granted."

The oracle asked, standing before me. “I swear to do all these by the power of the goddess,” I answered after I made the mistake of nodding to her question. I had repeated those words for months but nervousness almost had me mixing them up. The oracle got out a small bowl and held it out to me. Knowing what to do, I slashed my right palm with a sharp stone I brought with me to the coronation. My blood dripped into the bowl, mixing with Valens’ and that of the kings and queens who had reigned before us. The oracle chanted quick words underneath her breath until my blood stopped flowing, the cut healing over.

Wordlessly, he took it and ran the blade on his left palm, before addressing Holly, "I'm sorry. It's going to sting a little." Used to cutting herself to strips, Holly barely flinched as he carved a thin, straight line across her right palm, mesmerised by the crimson streaks cascading through their fingers as Andrei intertwined their hands. "With my blood, I bind myself to you and the family. Honour and duty above all else," they repeated after Rowena, their voices getting swallowed by the thunderous chants of the men crowding the room as they joined them in their blood oath. "Honour and duty above all else!" The men shouted over and over, their euphoria ebbing through the room until Rowena

Elder Ethan said, clearing his throat to gain our attention. "I, Ruby, solemnly swear to uphold the duties and responsibilities entrusted to me as Luna of this pack," Elder Ethan recited just as the murmurs died down, and all eyes turned to Ruby as she prepared to recite the Luna's oath. She lifted her chin, her voice ringing clear and true, as she spoke the sacred words of allegiance. "I, Ruby, solemnly swear to uphold the duties and responsibilities entrusted to me as Luna of this pack," she declared, turning to look at me before continuing.

Many years have been put into my plan and no part of it must fail. When I reach the Fountain of Promises, Aleksander and I bow to each other respectfully. He takes the ceremonial blade and holds it out to me. "Alessio Callum Scarfoni, do you swear your life and allegiance to our cause?" Aleksander keeps his gaze fixed on me as if he's trying to see into my mind. "I do." I raise my right hand and pledge. "Then please take the oath." "Luramentum est vita nostra et mors nostra," I say in Latin, which translates to: The oath is our life and our death.
