Depths of Despair/Byleth: Vengeance Vessel

Byleth: Vengeance Vessel - C

Byleth	More enemies?! Quickly, take cover!
Ah! An ambush?!		Eir
Byleth	Hyah! Ha! OK, that’s the last of them for now. Are you all right?
I am, thanks to you.		Eir
Byleth	Don’t let your guard down yet. This battle isn’t over.
Of course... Yes, you’re right...		Eir
Byleth	Is something the matter? You seem... distracted all of a sudden.
Apologies. It’s nothing.		Eir
Pardon me. May I have a word?		Eir
Byleth	Hm? Oh, it’s you. Yes, of course. What is it?
I wanted to talk thank you properly for rescuing me earlier today.		Eir
Byleth	Think nothing of it. I did what any mercenary would have done in my position. Having you around will benefit me, if and when we find ourselves together again on the battlefield.
I see...		Eir
Byleth	You have that distracted look again. Was it something I said?
No. It truly is nothing... Forgive me. I will take my leave.		Eir
Byleth	All right. Farewell.
What is this strange feeling? Something about her is very much unlike the other Heroes...		Eir
Fjorm	So you want to know about Byleth’s... character? May I ask what you mean by that?
I have not had many opportunities to interact with her. I am curious what you might be able to share with me.		Eir
Fjorm	Well, let’s see... I’ve heard she was once a mercenary, but later became a professor at the Officers Academy in Fódlan.
By all appearances, she is well-loved by the school’s students who have since come to Askr.		Sharena
May I ask what brought this on? Did something happen between you?		Sharena
Eir	We fought in a battle together. She saved my life.
Ah. So you’re looking to get to know your savior a little better, is that it?		Sharena
Eir	Yes, I...suppose you could put it that way...

Byleth: Vengeance Vessel - B

Byleth	Hah! Hyah! More enemies than expected... Let’s pull back and regroup. This way!
Wait! There’s another enemy force coming from that direction!		Eir
Byleth	You’re right. They’re outflanked us. It looks like we’re surrounded.
Byleth! Behind you!		Eir
Byleth	Ngh... I was...too slow.
Byleth	You fool! What do you think you’re doing? Pull yourself together!
Her hair color’s completely changed. What in the world...		Eir
Byleth	Hear me now, you wretches who would dare to strike this vessel! Such arrogance is deserving of a thousand deaths! Allow me to put you in your place. Have at you!
Incredible... She dispatched them all in one fell swoop! This must be the source of that strange feeling I had earlier...		Eir
Byleth	Take this! And that! Ha, are you finished already? I’ve scarcely begun to exert myself! Come forth, all you who seek death! I shall end you in the blink of an eye!
She hardly seems like herself at all...		Eir

Byleth: Vengeance Vessel - A

Byleth	insects! Perish!
Byleth	You are no more than a nuisance! I shall dispose of you!
She is truly fearsome... She mercilessly crushes anyone who shows even the slightest hostility toward her. Her power is far beyond any mortal’s. Could it be that this is what I sensed? Could it be that she...		Eir
Byleth	And you! How does it feel to be the last of your brethren alive?
Byleth	Hmph. No matter. In death, at least, you’ve learned your place.
...		Eir
Byleth	You there. Girl. Since you are of a mind to study me, shall I presume we are enemies as well?
Each of us has but one life. For most, that is an immutable law. My existence has defied that law. I have had many lives reside in me. That is why I can sense it.		Eir
Byleth	What is this prattle, now? What are you suggesting?
More than one life resides within you...and one of them is not human.		Eir
Byleth	You presume to evaluate me? The gall!
You are not Byleth. So, who are you? It seems to me that you are some other being—one that has merged with Byleth in some way. And, for whatever reason, you seem to be the one in charge of Byleth’s body at the moment.		Eir
Byleth	If you truly see all that, then you are my foe and must therefore die.
I am not your enemy.		Eir
Byleth	Enough! I will hear no more of this! Prepare to be destroyed!
It seems I cannot talk her out of it. I must defend myself somehow...		Eir
Byleth	This will snuff you out!
Radiance of life!		Eir
Byleth	What the—what is this?! Some base trickery these foes possess? No...
Byleth—or whoever shares her life. I insist that you stand down.		Eir

Byleth: Vengeance Vessel - S

Byleth	What is this light?!
Byleth	It feels...oddly soft. As if it has wrapped me in its embrace...
This is the power of the dragon of life. Ymir entrusted it to me. You see... I too share my life with another.		Eir
Byleth	My wounds—they have all healed. Very well. I can see that you mean no harm. I shall relinquish control of this vessel now.
Byleth	Urgh... Where am i?
Byleth. You’ve returned to yourself.		Eir
Byleth	I’m sorry, Princess Eir. I seem to have caused you some trouble.
Not at all. I am happy to see you safe. Do you recall what happened here a moment ago?		Eir
Byleth	Only vaguely. Nothing like it has ever happened to me before.
Surely you are aware that there is another life inside of you?		Eir
Byleth	Yes, but I...don’t know who she is. She appeared within me one day, and has protected me with a mysterious power ever since.
I see...		Eir
Byleth	She can be...temperamental, as you probably noticed, but I don’t think she’s evil.
Agreed. I felt immense power, but I did not sense any wickedness in it.		Eir
Byleth	We were caught in an intense battle. She must have been desperate to protect me...or at least my body. But it seems that she misunderstood the situation, and pointed her blade at you. I’m very sorry.
No harm done. It is just as you said— saving me proved useful to you in the end.		Eir
Byleth	Precisely. As long as we support each other, we’ll be stronger for it.
I hope that I can continue to be of use to you, then. Our situation is not a common one. It is rare to find someone who can truly understand it.		Eir
Byleth	I appreciate that, Princess Eir. If she ever goes on another rampage, I hope I can rely on you.
I will gladly lend you my aid. Though I pray you are never again in so much danger that she feels the need to intervene...		Eir
