Millcent’s Woe is her personal journal that she carries on her person. If you’re ever in possession of the book ‘Millicent’s Woe’ then you’re welcome to use anything here as IC.
*****
A productive week:
A split lip
Two black eyes
Fifteen lashes, total
More bruising than I care to count
A cut down the length of my face (which for the record the healer believes will scar)
Demoted to a ‘lackey’ and humiliated in front of and by everyone
Made an ‘Untrusted Trainee’ (mind you regular Trainees are not exactly trusted anyway)
And worst of all, put under the ‘care’ of Veteran Besieger Killian (subsequently leading to most of the other punishments.)
Not a bad list. At least it can’t get any worse, eh? What else can they punish me with, death? Would be a blessing.
My crime? Fear.
Who wouldn’t be scared of something like this?

It’s a dragon for goodness sake.
Makes no sense to me. You have a Trainee that is scared of all things fire breathing or more than double her size so what do you do? Beat her senseless until she fears you as well! How that will improve things I have no idea. Maybe the plan is for me to fear the other guards more than the monsters they seem so at ease with (which is a point for further discussion; why are they so at ease amongst these beings?)
Can’t think why I came here.
At first it seemed like the right choice. Met some lovely people, one in particular, but they turned on me also.
Do none of these people remember fear? It’s not as though I chat back in line-ups, or ignore orders or am purposely getting in trouble. I can’t help being scared.
Stupid stupid stupid guards. The higher ranked you get the more idiotic you are it seems. Must be through all that ‘experience’ (brain cells being knocked.)
Especially Mr “Ooh I have a big stupid helmet stuck on my big stupid head”. What is with that anyway?
I have come up with a new plan anyhow. A bit of old ‘Yewish courage’.
That’s right, I’m going to get drunk before going on duty and face my fears.
