Tonight marks my first night as the king's guard. Honestly, it's significantly more boring than I assumed that would be. Of course, I'm not so sure I want there to be any excitement in this job. I don't know any combat magic, and honestly any excitement would likely lead into another war. Besides I'm not here to be entertained; I'm here to protect and serve. . . as well as observe and learn. Now, on to the observing!

Addendum: Perhaps I'll be observing from a relative distance. The king doesn't enjoy waking up to see me hovering over him, watching him. . . silently. . .unblinkingly. . . my eyes hurt.
