// Officer's Oath of the New Lunar Republic 
// Story: The Story of a Moonlit Soldier 
// by Shadowmane Nox 
//------------------------------//


Upon my honor I do swear, as both officer and subject, to defend and support the laws of this New Lunar Republic; 
and to serve ever faithfully our eternal princess of the night.
I take this oath of my own free will; and with neither fear, nor reservation, do vow to defend all subjects of this realm; 
be they earth pony, unicorn, or pegasi. 
May the shadows ever be my cloak, and the night my ally true, as I stand against all who would wish this nation harm.
May mine be the spear that shall never break, and the shield that shall not yield; that I might never fail nor falter in my duties. 
With faith and loyalty I make this vow, and so do pledge my life. 
Until the day I am relieved of service, or Death takes me to join the stars.
I shall live not for myself but for those whom I hold most dear.
My family!
My nation!
And my princess of the night!
