I've seen too many good men and women meet a fate worse than death. If this one thinks me a stern taskmaster, it is only because I want to do all in my power to see that the same thing never happens to her.
Default:
With the return of the darkness, we have been forced to reevaluate our security measures at night. Needless to say, this is unfamiliar territory for all of us.
It gives me no pleasure to send my men into battle against such a terrible foe, but what other choice do we have? All I can do is prepare them as best I can and pray for a safe return for all of us.
I do not quite how know, but the both of us made it back safe. Times are harder than ever, but for today, I can only thank the gods that I am still alive.
I was afraid that my subordinate here would be thoroughly disheartened with the return of the Light, but she has been more confident and resolved than ever. She has matured much in a short time.

Lately, there are times when I feel as if I'm learning as much from her as she is from me. Seeing her grow into a full-fledged member of the guard fills me with no end of pride.
It feels like only yesterday that she came to me an untested recruit. Now she is in all ways a dependable comrade. At risk of sounding like an old man, it is a joy to watch young ones come into their own. I cannot help but wonder if the Exarch felt this way as he watched over us...
