Messenger

Traveling between villages and strongholds, (unit name) always thought of the fastest route first. They never slowed on slopes or muddy roads, and even when they were gasping for breath, they kept every letter close. Yet after so long carrying other people's words, they were awkward when it came to speaking their own heart.

After carrying messages across battlefields and through guarded gates, (unit name) knew the lay of every road and shortcut better than anyone. They ran through dark nights and driving rain with orders held tight, and the more urgent the message, the faster their feet moved. As the years passed, acting first came to them far more naturally than waiting.

(unit name) knew well that a single letter could change someone's fate or turn the tide of battle. So they ran every road to the end on tired legs, and even before closing gates, they never slowed their final steps. But after living through one urgent moment after another, they often grew uneasy in places that were calm.
