When a royal guard in the prime of his life gets assigned to guard Princess Twilight's castle, he figures it'll just be another post to stand at. However, when he gets to Ponyville, he realizes that this job may be more tricky than he first anticipated... especially with all of this "friend-making" business.

Just a little something I whipped up. I really enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
Rated Teen for a fairly momentarily but still rather graphic gore scene. It lasts a little, but everything else is tame.
EDIT: apparently, this story is featured by twilight's library. Thanks a bunch, seriously.
