Golden armour glitters in the sun.
What's in a name?
Selfless deeds we perform for our Goddesses.

We give our lives in the name of Equestria.

A life-long service, dutifully carried out.

How I long to don the royal armour.

Can I not save myself from darkness?

In this facility, I lie awake, barely.
