Journal Entry - Marshall to Captain
Added Mon Dec 3 09:49:48 2018 at level 51:

Journal,

Apparently I am now Captain of the Brigade.

Retirement from Leadership was relaxing while it lasted. I knew stepping
down as Marshall was what was necessary - I had seen it in the ice that
when Drissa passed, I needed to move aside for another Marshall...

What I didn't realize was that the Light was simply nudging me into where
it needed me...the Captaincy.

Lord Korsgaard surprised me by offering the position - I had no thoughts on
the matter until he broached it. Content to advise, I had been relaxing
into being an Elder of the Fortress, free from worry that my every action
or decision would have implications for our entire Family.

I have always said I am exactly where I need to be for the Light - so long
as I remain open to the signs. It seems, now, the Light needs me as Captain.

I'll do my best to honor Drissa's memory and fight the war in a way she would
fought it. It isn't going to be easy, so used to training the others in
the Fortress' defense. I'll have to stir myself to greater action, lead the
charge, and most importantly, set an example of what a Maran can and should
be in a world where we are so sorely needed.

Light...I'm starting to feel old age is just around the corner, with all of
its new trials.


Captain Aehwic

(This sounds so strange to my ears, yet...I hope it becomes as comfortable
as being called marshall once was.)
