Ponies have their own reasons why they wanted to join the Royal Guard.
Some wanted fame, others wanted to uphold family tradition, and then there are those who just wanted to help protect Equestria and its inhabitants.
For Tender Heart however, it was a surefire way to keep himself fed with a roof over his head. So without hesitation, he enlisted as a cadet so that he can one day climb up the ranks and be a guard with a steady living wage.
But now that his first semester of training is completed and the mandatory 3-month leave for all first-year cadets is just around the corner, Tender Heart sends in a request to be allowed stay in the castle for the duration of his leave as he has nowhere else to go, offering to work as a custodian, janitor or helper in return for food and shelter.
Fortunately, or unfortunately for him, fate has other plans for him.
With only a kind heart to his name, will it be enough for him to face the trials, tragedies, and terrors that are about to come his way?
Thought I'd let you lnow that I really like your story and can't wait for more of it.

Oh gosh, I just saw this comment right now. I haven't worked on this fic for a while with how scarce feedback is for it so I'm never sure if I'm doing it well or not. In either case, I'm really glad to know that you liked it!
This story has potential. I hope Buddy's okay, the story would be empty without his...
PUNishments!

Oh gosh, you don't know how much this comment means to me! I'm so happy that you liked it, and Buddy's Puns :P. I don't know when the next chapter will be done but you've made me do a huge chunk already and I'm really hoping that you'll read and enjoy it once it's finished :3
Glad that I inspired you, and don't worry I'll read it and hopefully enjoy it.
Good luck!
Just to let you know, the new chapter is good.
Can't wait for Buddy's chapter!
Mostly the puns.
Btw, I like your original characters' creative personalities, they're really likeable.
Keep up the good work!

Hey there! I'm really glad that you liked the chapter and and my OCs' personalities, I was rather worried that the new characters introduced in this chapter might be seen as bland but it seems like I did an okay job :P
Buddy's POV will start in the next chapter, and although he won't drop puns immediately, expect him to drop a mean one later on in the chapter ;P

Hey there! And thank you for the kind words! :3
All of your questions will be answered somewhere along the way as the story progresses, it's going to be a biiiit of a slow burn for anything too 'major' to appear but I can assure you that it'll pan out one day or another.
Nice!!!!
