Patrol log: 11/05/2008
Location: Barracks-Graveyard-Cove City
Commanding Officer: Takaemada
After we reported for the promotion and parade ceremony, commanding officer at that time Sergeant Hoagie, checked our kits and lined us up.
Sergeant Hoagie spoke as a true leader of men when he told us that today there where no promotions to be given, but he encouraged those that are reaching to climb the ladder of ranks, to work hard and severe all that should be done to be promoted!
After that he dismissed us and told us to report at the entrance of the Barracks.
At reporting at the Barracks Watchmen Takeamada took command and marched us to the graveyard, where he lead us on a quick cleansing of the sacred ground of the ancestors of our beloved city.
And quick it was! Within no time we where all lined up and given the order to report at the gates of Cove for a training by Watchmen Takeamada.
Some of our group where sent of for other duties while myself ( Guardsmen Recruit Noxarian ), Watchmen Takeamada, Sergeant Sanderson and Watchmen Justice Forum gathered at the gate.
Upon our arrival and at the very beginning of the training we were alarmed of an attack on Cove from within the walls!
We entered the city quickly only to realise that it was no ordinary attack but rather a bloodshed.
Demons, Evil Warriors and other foul creatures where roaming around bashing and slashing our townfolk and their homes....
We tried to save as many as we could, being tossed around, knocked down and cut open ourselves by the overwhelming strength and numbers of our enemy. The Sergeant at some point made the call to retreat, where all we could do was look back over our shoulders only to see our kin and city being torn apart...
The Selrgeant gave us an order not to go back, for our numbers where far less then the enemies and it would only result in our own useless death!
We retreated only to hear the last of the battle from within the city walls carried by the wind.
In this moment we can only but realise that times have changed and we can only stand strong as we are!
To protect! To serve! To die! For the Glory and Freedom of Cove and the men and women that stand next to you to fight with you to defend that!!!
