I am a simple soldier
I am not the strongest man, nor the fastest. I am not the best with the sword or the bow. I am not the quickest to get the point or the wittiest with a retort. I can lift a great weight, run fast, spar with a sword, hunt with a bow, laugh at a jest and respond with a pun. I am not the best or brightest or fastest or smartest or most flippant. Yet I do well in all areas.
Not being the best keeps me humble and inspires me to strive for better. While being amongst the best gives me the confidence to always push forward.
I joined the Kings Army directly from the farm the day after Day of Majority rite. I was not driven out for dishonest actions, nor did I run from abusive parents. I did not hunger for great adventure though I did become restless in the tedium of a farmers life. In the end my choice was simple.
The King called and I answered.
This is my story.
