Role

Chapter 2

I am failing. I am failing myself, and I am failing all of us.
The magi are toppling me like a monsoon. I feel frail, unable to keep
them at bay, nor even begin to think of their destruction.

This must be my greatest test. I must show resolve, courage even though
I have never been so depressed and felt despair such as this.
My skills as a warrior seem inadequate, and I feel I am dishonoring the
village with my presence. If this keeps up, I shall have to leave
my hut, for the village's reputation is more important than my life.

I hope it does not come to this, but I must start earning my spot and I have yet
to do or show anything which would prove that I deserve to be where I am..
as an honored defender of the Village. I am ashamed to look at the pillar.
