In Her Majesty's Service

So much to get done… So little time to do it…

The early morning hours appeared to be a blur as Shining rushed about his home, working to clean and straighten up his home.  This would be an important day for him, as it was the day Celestia had cleared him to return to duty with the guard.

Donning his freshly washed dress uniform, he set out the door to the palace for briefings ahead of proceeding to detail watching over the guard at the palace.  While this was far from what he would have liked, it to him was at least better than sitting idle at home.

“I really would have preferred a visit with our people in the field,” Shining mused, walking through the streets of Canterlot; taking his time as he moved towards the palace.  What would his return bring?  What would the Princess ask of him?

Only time would tell, and of late that was one thing not on his side.
