"Never Falter Never Look Back!"
| The sun begins to wane as a young guardsman slouches against the job board, the man's head is down and his legs sprawl out like a discarded doll. Players walk to the board and ignore the broken guardsman. A thick brown posting flaps off of the board you to give way as the poster has giving in to failure. The guard looks weakly at every player that checks the board his lusterless eyes pleading for a miracle. All of the players either pretend it is not there or ignored the post and man entirely. The man curls his legs into himself and hugs around them leaning his head on his knees. (What am I going to do? Why did I have to be given this task, that girl has used me and played with me like a toy). Wallowing in his self pity he reflect on the beginning of his mission. Early morning at the guards barracks the guardsman Henry is putting on his armor and sword before getting ready to leave for his morning patrol. The door to the barracks opens and the sergeant enters the quarter. All the guardsmen excluding Henry who was fiddling with his greaves stood at attention. The sergeant walked down the sleeping quarters and inspecting the beds and equipment. " you call this a made bed I would not let my father's pigs sleep in that pen you call a bed do it again"! The sergeant throw the guard's bedding on the ground. " Are you unable to propyl tie your sheath off, did your mother drop you on your head when you came out! I have never seen such inadequacy I should just kill you now and save the enemy the trouble! You are nothing but a waste of my and the countries time! Do it right and head to the training ground you will work until we drill it into your head"! Seeing Henry the sergeant steams over to the recruit. " What seems to be the problem here recruit"!? Henry jumps up on his half put on greaves, his legs shake as he tries to keep his balance as he salutes at the sergeant. " Nothing is wrong sir". The sergeant fumes and leans in closer to him, " nothings wrong, are you sure about that recruit? Is this what you call at attention"? Henry does not move a muscle, " No.. no sir". " Then why did you say nothings wrong!? You been here long enough to know what times inspection, and when you have to get up! Do you not respect me recruit!? Henry opens his mouth to response, but the sergeant cuts him off. " Shut up! Ass kissing will only get you so far, I would gut you and wear your intestines like a belt! However we have a job for you to do". The sergeant throws a pin with a shield and sword with on the opposite sides of the scale and a letter at Henry. " You are to deliver these items to a girl known as Rue do you know who that is recruit you better, because you escorted her when she was at court"! Henry nods, and the sergeant continues. " Good now get ready and get out of my barracks and don't come back until she accepts the position". The post ripped off as the guard sat sulking in memory lane. (I've tired everything, but she made bets where she tricked me and made me buy her things). The empty coin purse lightened the recruit, sending him into a deeper pit of despair. |
