Memoirs of a Knight aspirant

(unsigned, but its apparent that the writer was laughing, hard till the ending.)

Pull the other one, Squire. I hear it plays music. Its okay though, I'll make sure your shiny knights on their mighty steeds don't get pulled into the mud with the rest of us to tarnish their armor.

I believed that once. No more.

I am not sure what you are getting at here. I humbly wished to share my creed in case I do not get to in the future.

Eh Aiki it's just some passing fool,
Didn't even sign their writings,
Someone'll tear it down soon,
They always do that when people try and speak without having the pride or honor to fall back on their words.

Hahaha you fine, though your last thoughts could have used a few more rhymes!

Shame on you.

I have bled, I have fallen beyond the mud and I have DIED for Travance and it's people. For Kormyre, For his Grace. As one of his knights I can tell you that my purpose is to SERVE the people. I will fight by their side, and if it is my time, then I will die by their side, doing what I do best, my all to heal and help save as many of them as possible.

Shame on you for tarnishing my person, for simply having a title.

May the light guide your path and keep you safe, obviously lost soul.
With love and respect,

Squire Aiki,

These words read well to live by. I will carry them when I set out to do what I can to aid in the coming strife against these maligned forces.


To the unnamed,

I am so sorry that you have been hurt in such a way that it would bring you to such bitterness. I am sorry that your faith in the beacons of the kingdom has been dashed rather than uplifted. But it is comforting to see that in spite of this, you will still hold high your arms to fight on the same land as them. It takes a brave person to not turn your back in moments such as these, and for that I will commend you.

If you would afford me the opportunity, I know not these people, but I would like to one day help restore your faith in them, and their faith in you.

Stars of Compassion hold us steady,
Wrekk

To the one too cowardly to sign their name,

Just because you do not believe the words spoken, does not give you right to tear someone down for speaking them. Some may need them to be able to help keep their heads up. While I have met some Knights who behave the way you seem to think across the Rift, I have yet to see a single Knight afraid to get down and dirty here in Travance. Everyone here has stepped up and been willing to do what needs to be done. Next time open your eyes and really look at the people around you before judging them.

Aiki,

Thank you for this. These words are inspirational and not far off from how I personally try to live as well. From what I've seen of you I'm sure you aren't one to let someone's negative comments drag you down.

Aiki,
Your writing sounds very....
Valosian.
We should speak.

Angeliana,
Maybe I did lose my way. Maybe I've been losing my way for a while now, but got lost in the crush. What now?

Keladry,
Your mewling is getting tiresome. Walk away little cat-you can't run with this pit dog. You bore me.

(Still unsigned)

Hey Donald, you realize that even if you don't sign your name, anyone can ask one of the guards of the posting board who wrote a particular note? They're very good at their job, and they're familiar with most all of the people who regularly come in and out of the Proper.

Winks,
Good. Its about time people realized I was getting disillusioned and losing it. Been for a while now. Just got lost in the crush.

Father Donny,
Perhaps we should talk.
Everyone encounters disillusionment at times - only natural.
But we should certainly sit down and talk.
Got any good brew to throw down our gullets during a good chat?
Or... how is it said....Having a blether is best done over a cup o' tea or dram of whiskey.

Donny,

Then be the change you want to see. If necessary I will try to inspire you to it.

Wrekk,

Thank you!

Father Ephrem,

I would glad to speak with you about this
