Role

Chapter 7

I have been serving the fort as a squire some time now.My duty fills me
with pride when I contemplate the difference my sacrifice is making. I
have spilled much blood, and bled for the cause. Amidst the chaos of
battle, I have made many friends within the fortress, friends whom
would die for me and whom I would give my life for.

Every day I awake with renewed hope. Hope that our cause will succeed, and
darkness shall be cut away from Thera. As I walk amongst the free and pure
people of thera, I am reminded of what I fight for. Their smiling faces and
bright spirit pierce the darkness around them. They strengthen me, as they
look to me and my brothers and sisters to protect their lives, and the lives
of their families.

Through the graces of my Lady, I continue the fight. Her righteous anger
added to my own, I feel no fear when standing defiant to the encroaching
dark. I only wish I had more to give to the cause, although I do my best
there is always work to be done.

My life is filled with purpose.Although I often wonder how my father
would feel about my deeds. Deep down I have come to feel that if he did
indeed know, he would be proud.Whether I see him again in this life or
in death I do beleive he will welcome me with open arms.
