Legacy of the Silver Flame

— And the winner of this intense battle between Raphael Earhart and his bodyguard, Erin Starlance, is Raphael! — Alea's voice echoed across the grandstands as she made the announcement.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their voices filling the space. The spectators and esteemed guests rose from their seats, showing respect for our efforts and the skills displayed. Despite our young age, we had demonstrated an impressive level of prowess. Of course, we were far from the Guardians, but we clearly surpassed most of our peers, even those raised in knightly families.
