The captain has asked me to leave the capital to lead a small charge of men on a scouting mission. This is highly unusual. Maybe it has something to do with the attack on Osgiliath...I am unsure. I am to receive a more thorough brief later today.
I know that Kirseth is also on this mission as one of the scouts. I am unsure on how to feel. We have grown very close over the years, but have never been on a mission together.
I have decided to keep a journal of events, as I have not had much time away from the capital in these dark times. This journal was a gift that never got much use, as I'm not much of a writer, but I always admired the work and thought that went in to the embossing on the front. It feels good to finally use it.
We leave at nightfall.
