Journal Extract – Desmond Frederick Krieger21:00 GMT, Monday, 18th June 2007Nothing like a spot of routine training led by a hardened Grenadier! As was so on Monday eve! No one can deny us Guardsmen need to keep in shape, and by the Avatar, Sergeant Morana saw to that.
Straight off the bat, two Guards were sent on a jog off to Cove gates and back when they failed to display a sufficient stock of bandages. And well, as for the lad who had the courage to show bandages pink in colour.. He should be thwacked! Pink indeed. Besides the bandages, Raiden ordered that we also display light sources and bedrolls, of which I believe everyone was prepared with.
Next up was a dip in the sea, and refreshing it was! Our task was to light a torch and keep it alight whilst paddling around just off the pier. Admittedly I failed, as I fell into the water in a somewhat uncontrolled manner, and I'm not entirely sure as to the extent of the others' success! However, I am entirely confident that next time I will triumph.
After making our way out of the water and onto the field, Raiden carried out a healing exercise whereby he walloped us in our armour-less state as we attempted to keep each other alive, which we did! Then, we paired up with another guardsman and had a little boxing round during which someone was indeed knocked out. It happens, unfortunately! After my near victory, though just failing to emerge completely dominant, I have decided to get involved with this boxing league lark.
And finally, to end our night of fun, we all competed in, as is traditional in Cove, a last man standing match. In which I lasted rather well, I might add. Aye!
