But the Eye which pulsed before her hands, radiating unfathomable power...he had granted it to her, and her alone. Not her beloved Estinien, who for years wielded the Eye of the First Brood's champion--Vrtra's own brother-and with skill unmatched by any Dragoon of Ishgard who ever lived, a knight who as yet bore the mark of Nidhogg upon his aether and his very flesh. Not Estinien, who had ridden Vrtra into battle as did the Dragoons of eld in that glorious, distant age when man and dragon lived in harmony.\nInstead, Vrtra had chosen Gisele, choosing to wager the future of his besieged people upon her. Twas not half his power alone that he placed so willingly into her hands, either-but his faith, as he said. For it was not lost upon her that one of those hands bore the signet of House Fortemps, whose unicorn crest was drowned red in the blood of Ratatoskr, Vrtra's own sister. Twas the cruel avarice of Ishgard's founding fathers, and the horrors their sins unleashed upon man and dragon alike, which set Vrtra to cowering behind his velvet curtain in the main, fearing all he had built, all he cherished and yearned to protect, would be swept away in what would become one thousand years of woe. And still, given all of it-still he would trust Gisèle. Still, he chose to believe in her, who loved Ishgard enough to build a life amongst its towering spires.\nHow could she not honor such faith, as he had placed in her?",
