Our Finest Hour

[Simple]

1861 A.C.

With Benedict Delisle having laid claim to Osrona, the young Eisele Metras opposed him within the square. Declaring that the next leader of Osrona should be someone from the younger generation, and that those who came before needed to pass on the torch. So that Osrona may be led into a new age.

A fight broke out within Osrona, and onlookers reported seeing a bright flash of light, before Eisele was unveiled with angelic wings. Golden and ethereal, she proudly proclaimed herself to be Eisele Petrakis, and claimed the throne of Osrona for herself, before engaging the Delisle in battle.

Furthermore, it is reported that Maltziel himself spoke to her, yet it is simply rumor, but the blessing was made clear in all its brilliance.

With a close clash, Benedict Delisle was able to fell the young woman, before declaring that he was withdrawing his bid for leadership in a strange twist. Arguments quickly broke out, yet her voice remained clear above it all, no matter the circumstances. A bid for leadership, a bid to be Osrona's new hero.

"Let us not be quick to divide one another."

"At the end of the day, we are all Osronan. Well, most of us anyways. Even those who use sharp words to attack each other."

"We are better than this."

"The enemy continues to marshal its strength beyond our borders, yet we turn to each other with suspicion in our eyes. Insulting one another, hating one another."

"This is not how we will win, nor will we even hope to put up a valiant defense."

"If we cannot come to a consensus, then I will undergo the Trial of Maltziel. He spoke to me today, blessed me, and I know in my heart that I can succeed, if given the chance."

"It is the most fair way, if we cannot come to a decision. If I am not chosen, then I will not resist."

"I will get treated now, then I will begin meeting with everyone individually. It is only right."

An open challenge to those who also believed themselves worthy, fully willing to undergo the Trial of Maltziel to prove her claim. With that said, it remains clear that several vie for the position, and only time will tell what comes of Osrona's future.

One thing remains certain, however, that the spark has been lit within the hearts of the youth.
