A Promotion Ceremony Full of Fire, Family, and Friendship
🎤 The Ceremony Begins
In the heart of the Memorabilia Hall — lovingly referred to by some as “the halls of eternal glory” — a small but mighty crowd gathered to witness something magical. As the purple seats filled with familiar faces and cherished comrades, one name was on everypony’s lips: Ender.
From the very start, NSGT Lime Berry Filly led with humor and warmth, greeting ponies and dragons alike with his usual sparkle.
—“We are here to congratulate Ender for their hard work to reach Air Pony… you’ve really been as hard working as the Ender Dragon protecting her Egg in Minecraft haha!”
(Skydrop giggles every time I reread that line. 💜)
🐉 The Praise of Many Wings
Ender, lovingly nicknamed “Derpgon” by his close friends, was celebrated by Soarin, Gabby, and many others — each voice layering a different shade of admiration.
—“Ender is a hardworking creature and I’m a teammate with them… they’ll give ya results if ya ask for it, and maybe even more!” – NSGT Soarin
—“Congrats to this ender dragon who come to Minecraft to the land of Pony Town!” – SAP Gabby
—“Everypony here has a place in my hearts… and I can’t wait to once again be ‘Soarin’ even higher.” – Derpgon (Ender) 💗
Ender’s bond with the team is undeniable. Whether munching on flowers or joking about pie rivalries with Soarin, his spirit lights up the squad like enchanted firelight.
🎲 Fire, Rolls & Boops
The celebration wouldn’t be complete without the Rolls of Fate and the legendary Boop Ritual — this time armed with… a Diamond Sword! (Don’t worry, it’s ceremonial! 😆)
Ender rolled a near-perfect 99. Even Soarin’s absurdly suspicious roll of 91796 out of 100000 couldn’t top it (sus indeed! 😂).
Then came the boop. The countdown rang out —
“3… 2… 1… BOOP!”
Cheers erupted as Ender received his honorary Diamond Sword tap from Soarin (and a side-eye from Lime about seat etiquette, hehe).
A Moment of Thanks
Ender, with a heart full of gratitude, addressed the room:
—“Thank you, all of you, for being here. Even if Dash and the others who I look up to aren’t here, it still feels like they are… and it’s that kind of love that makes this group feel like family to me.” 💞
He spoke of his joy, his role models, and the warm nest the WBA had become. And of course, his final sign-off was none other than:
—“Altius Volantis. I couldn’t be happier anywhere else.” 💙💛
💫 Skydrop’s Thoughts
Ceremonies like this remind me that even in the quietest gatherings, the loudest feeling is love. Ender’s wings are powered by more than skill — they’re lifted by joy, silliness, loyalty, and the pure magic of belonging. Watching him smile among comrades, roll near-perfect numbers, and receive that silly Diamond Boop… well, my feathers felt a little lighter too.
So here’s to you, Ender. From one quill to a dragon’s roar: keep soaring.
