When a God of Destruction Was Reincarnated in Tensura:

Ramiris stood before the grand gates of Celesterra, the land that had long been her domain. It was a land of beauty, with towering trees that reached the heavens, sparkling lakes that reflected the light of distant stars, and a shimmering sky that seemed alive with magic. Celesterra had always been a place of harmony, a sanctuary for the fairies, spirits, and those who sought to live in peace. But as the time of the Keepers' interventions drew nearer, Ramiris knew that she could not continue to rule forever. The responsibilities of being a guardian of both her kingdom and the spirits of the land had grown too great. Now, it was time to pass the mantle to someone worthy.

Ivarage, her trusted partner and the king of Celesterra, had already taken his position, but Ramiris knew that the fairies needed a queen—a strong, wise leader who could protect their realm.

For centuries, she had ruled as their queen, guiding the fairies and spirits with a gentle but firm hand. But now, she could not do so anymore.

Her decision was clear. She would make those who were the strongest among the fairies and spirits undergo trials, tests that would challenge them physically, mentally, and spiritually to determine who would ascend to the throne as the new queen. The fairies of Celesterra had always been loyal and trusting, but the new ruler would need more than just loyalty—they would need the strength to lead, the wisdom to guide, and the heart to protect.

Ramiris' heart heavy with the knowledge that her time had come, she summoned the strongest fairies and spirits from across the land to her palace. The most powerful among them had gathered, each of them standing tall, their wings shimmering with an ethereal glow. Among them stood Elyssa, a powerful and graceful fairy warrior who had long been a protector of Celesterra's borders, her wings blazing with golden light.

Next to her stood Sylas, an enigmatic spirit who had earned a reputation as the most strategic and intelligent of the spirits. Lastly, there was Lyana, a young but fierce fairy who had quickly earned respect for her bravery and ambition to one day lead the fairies of Celesterra and the world.

Ramiris looked at each of them, her eyes filled with both pride and sorrow. The trials she had prepared would not be easy, but each of them had the potential to lead their people. However, she would not make her decision lightly—only one would emerge as the rightful successor.

The Trial of Strength: Elyssa's Challenge

Elyssa stood at the edge of a vast, enchanted forest. Before her lay a colossal beast, a creature of shadow and flame, summoned from the deepest corners of Celesterra's magic. It roared, its claws raking against the ground as it lunged at her, a beast born from the nightmares of the world. Elyssa's task was clear: defeat the creature. But this trial was not just about raw strength—it was about control, precision, and power.

With a swift motion, Elyssa summoned her magic, the golden glow of her wings flaring as she took flight, soaring high into the air to avoid the creature's vicious attacks. She released a barrage of spells, each one imbued with her radiant energy, but the creature dodged, retaliating with fiery blasts. Elyssa knew that brute force alone would not be enough. She had to outsmart it.

Diving in a low arc, Elyssa weaved through the trees and launched a concentrated burst of magic into the ground beneath the creature's feet, causing the earth to tremble. The beast roared in frustration, but its movements grew sluggish, disoriented by the sudden shift in the terrain. Seizing the opportunity, Elyssa summoned a spear of pure light, channeling her strength into it. With a precise strike, she pierced the creature's heart, dissipating the darkness and sending it back to the realm from which it came.

The trial was won, but Elyssa knew that strength alone would not earn her the title of queen. She had proven her power, but she would need more than just physical might to lead the fairies of Celesterra and the world.

The Trial of Wisdom: Sylas's Challenge

Sylas, the spirit who was known for his quiet and thoughtful demeanor, found himself standing before an ancient library deep within Celesterra's sacred grounds. This was not a place of physical trials—it was a test of the mind, one that would measure his intelligence and his ability to solve problems that affected the very fabric of their realm.

The first task presented itself as a riddle, written on a scroll that was infused with powerful magic. "What binds the world together, yet divides it in the hands of the unworthy?" Sylas pondered the question, letting his mind wander through the vast knowledge he had gained over the years. His eyes scanned the ancient texts in the library, searching for clues. Finally, it clicked. "Power," he whispered, realizing the answer.

Before him, the scroll unraveled and vanished, revealing a series of ancient symbols etched into the walls of the library. The next test would require him to decipher these symbols, each representing a complex concept in the realm of Celesterra's magic. Time passed as Sylas carefully examined the symbols, his mind working quickly as he pieced together their meaning.

After several hours, Sylas finally unlocked the final puzzle, revealing the hidden truths of Celesterra's magical foundation. The trial had tested not only his intelligence but also his understanding of the delicate balance of magic that governed their world. As the final door opened before him, Sylas stepped forward, victorious.

But he knew that wisdom alone would not be enough—he would need to unite the fairies with not just knowledge, but with the strength to lead them.

The Trial of Heart: Lyana's Challenge

Lyana's trial was perhaps the most personal of all. She found herself in the heart of the forest, standing before a council of ancient spirits—beings who had watched over Celesterra since the dawn of time. They would not test her strength, nor her wisdom, but her heart. The trial was to prove whether she had the compassion, courage, and selflessness to lead the fairies of Celesterra and the world.

Before her stood a village of fairies who had fallen into despair, their homes ravaged by a terrible storm that had swept through the land. The spirits told Lyana that the village was in need of a ruler, someone who could bring them hope and restore their belief in the future. But the villagers were distrustful, broken by years of hardship and strife. To earn their respect, Lyana would have to show them that she was worthy of leading them.

Lyana knelt in front of the villagers, offering them her help. At first, they resisted, unwilling to trust anyone, let alone a stranger. But Lyana did not give up. She worked tirelessly to rebuild their homes, offering her magic and her energy to mend the broken spirits of the village. Slowly, the villagers began to trust her, seeing the sincerity in her heart.

She spent days working beside them, not as a queen, but as a fellow being who understood their pain. In the end, the villagers embraced her, recognizing her as their leader. The spirits watched from afar, knowing that Lyana had passed the trial of heart. She had proven that she was willing to sacrifice her own desires for the good of her people.

As the trials came to an end, Ramiris gathered Elyssa, Sylas, and Lyana in the great hall of Celesterra. Each of them stood before her, their faces filled with hope and determination. The trials had not been easy, and each had faced their own unique challenges. But Ramiris knew that the time had come to choose her successor.

"Elyssa," Ramiris began, her voice steady and kind, "you have proven your strength and leadership. You have defended our people with unwavering courage. But leadership requires more than just strength—it requires wisdom, heart, and the ability to guide those who follow you."

"Sylas," Ramiris continued, "your wisdom is unmatched, and you have shown an understanding of the complex forces that govern Celesterra. But to lead our people, you must also have the strength to inspire them. Knowledge alone is not enough."

"Lyana," Ramiris said, her eyes softening, "you have proven your heart. Your compassion and willingness to sacrifice for the people of Celesterra have earned you their trust. You have shown that you possess the qualities of a true queen."

With a final, deep breath, Ramiris made her decision.

"Lyana," she said, "you are the one who will lead the fairies as their queen. You have proven that you have the heart and the strength to guide our people into the future. May your reign bring peace and prosperity to Celesterra and the world of the fairies."

The hall erupted with applause as Lyana knelt before Ramiris, humbled by the decision. Elyssa and Sylas stood by her side, offering their support as the new queen rose to her feet.

Ramiris, though filled with pride, knew that this was her final act as queen. With a smile, she stepped down, knowing that the future of Celesterra was in capable hands. The fairies would thrive under Lyana's rule, and Celesterra would remain a place of peace and magic for generations to come.
