The night was going, and my watch begins. It will not end until my death. I do not take myself no wife, no land, I will not father children. I do not wear a crown, and will not seek fame. I will live and die at his post. I - the sword in the darkness; I - Watchman on the Wall; I - a fire that propels the cold; I - the light that brings the dawn; I - the horn that wakes the sleepers; I - a shield that protects the realm of humans. I give my life and honor to the Night's Watch in the night, and all the future.
