This is my City. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
This City is my best friend. I must master it, as I must master my life.
My City, without me, is useless. Without my City, I am useless. I must serve my City true, I must fight harder than my enemy who is trying to undo us. I must undo him before he undoes us. I will...
My City and I know that what counts in this struggle is not the fists that we throw, the noise of our blasts, or the holds we employ. We know that it is the actions that count. We will act...
My City is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its costumes, its enhancements, its maps and its community. I will keep my City safe and ready, even as I am safe and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before $Deity, I swear this creed. My City and I are the defenders of my people. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the heroes of our lives.
So be it, until victory is Paragon's and there is no enemy, but peace!
With apologies to the Rifleman's Creed and the USMC, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CITY! WE LOVE YOU! YOU WILL LIVE AGAIN!
