Geztelle Pelleaux - Celestial Speaker

[Simple]

I've always been an adherent to the Faith's doctrine. From my youth as a little girl to now as I approach my elderly years. My faith has remained resolute, and I have never wavered in the face of danger, nor have I bowed or relented to aggressors and those afflicted by corruption. I am a lion, now and always, and it is by Osrona that I stand.

I've lost my son, my daughter, and yet I know in my heart that this is the path which will lead to Osrona's victory. I remain adamant that light shall shine upon the darkness, as it has for thousands of years. The faces change, the words differ, but it all remains the same. No matter the time, no matter the era, from Ameila Elaide, Anabelle Lockwood, and their descendants, we have always prevailed, and this will be no different. 

The enemies view my decision as one of weakness and ineptitude, yet it could not be further from the truth. I never wished for Ariadne's death, but it became abundantly clear to me that no matter what was decided on that day that her life would be lost. There was no choice, as it had been made for me the moment Edingel clutched her throat.

Had my demands been heard, had Ariadne been let go first, I would have without doubt sacrificed myself. I am not one to back down on my deals, though the same could not be said of their ilk. From times immemorial there have been legends of those who consume others for self gain, and I believe we are dealing with something similar. Demons in the skin of humans, those who have been robbed of their humanity in entirety.

They desired me for a purpose I don't quite understand. The desperation to the meticulous planning, the assault itself was not a simple assassination, not in the slightest. I believe that they intended to use my powers for their own benefit, and to that end I became a potential weapon against my people. The decision was never Ariadne or the life of my own, but rather, the safety of Osrona as a whole.

My daughter will be remembered as a hero, as well as Isana Aertas. They both fought valiantly to defend their home, and in the process their lives were lost. But we will not bow, nor will we break. The dawn has yet to rise, and when it does the truth shall be laid bare to all.

You were a lion fiercer than any I've ever seen before, my beautiful daughter.
