Obedience

Sparrow's diary. She was a good person, once. In ten short years, the Spire took that from her. Reviews are love!

I have been promoted!

My name, they tell me, is now Guard 273.

We make good progress on the completion of the Spire, but that progress is a measured thing, obtainable only through obedience.

I look back through these pages and wonder at the failure I had been.

The Commandant shows me the truth. When he strikes me, I thank him, because obedience is the way. When I have a moment of weakness, in my dealings with slaves, I remember that obedience is the way.

Obedience is the way. The only way.
