The Liberty of a Republic

"A nation, under the weight of a crown, cannnot stand for its people. That is a universal and unalienable fact!"

So proclaims the orator, speaking before a crowd of men from all walks of life. Despite the meeting being held in the freshness of the outdoors, the atmosphere felt almost exhausting. The men had been at the city plaza for hours now, having convened to discuss matters of government, away from the public eye. With these hours came discussions of humanity, religion, war, and finally democracy. With these hours came the speech of the group's de facto leader, a certain Harald Preben Michaelsen, cunning business magnate in Estonia and eminent leader of the Vabastajad.

"Tyrants by one man, tyrants by a hundred! Whatever the number may be, we shall see nothing but despots and brutes carrying the feathers of an antiquated privilege, even as the common man suffers from the iron weights of their limitless autocracy. By God's word we were given the rights of mankind! By our hands we shall embark upon the imprisoned homes of our sons and daughters, and by the Divine sword we shall cut the chains and the yoke of repression, and our voices shall be heard!

Latvians, you who have dauntlessly faced the fears of destruction at the hands of the Scandinavian menace, who have haplessly witnessed the subjugation of a once free people, remain under my hand and see our freedom unfold beneath common ground!

Estonians, you who saw from foreign lands came our oppressors and our exterminators, through your banner many greats have been saved and many terrorizers vanquished! Avenge your dead and dying with the call! Weep no more, for your tears shall be proclaimed and your scars shall be revealed!

Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, and other Nordic peoples, foreign kin who have come aware of your nation's evil, be exalted for in sacrificing dignity you have earned a place among the liberators of the people! Be bestowed upon with eternal vindication!

In thine I proclaim! Take leave of your houses, of your shores and yards, of your lovers and loved ones, of your wageless machineries, of your old monarch's eye, and walk through this open door that you may all wake! In everything and in nothing, there shall be freedom and freedom everlasting! All things that are, are things much liberated than coerced!

Sons of the nation, prepare for the age of liberty that is to come once more! Our noble and undefeated cause shall not be refuted by this old order. Ready your arms, and be uplifted, for if you shed but a drop of blood for your Fatherland, you will earn with you crowns of salvation and praise!"

And there was shouting in the streets.
