Royal Guard Boot Camp is hard, and Royal Guard Advanced Training is even harder. Obsidian Aegis -a determined pegusus- managed to prevail through it all with flying colors. Now it's the first day of his dream job of guarding Canterlot castle, but it's off to a bad start already. His alarm didn't go off...

This is my first SFW slice-of-life, and it revolves around an OC I just made up, It also details a headcanon I have of why all the guards are either white or dark-gray, while all other ponies are various colors.

This is very likely only going to be a one-shot, unless I happen to need a basis for another story I think up one day.

I mainly wrote this to see how well I could build a unique character from scratch. Please lemme know how I did.
