>>5243467>“Drop your weapons.” You say, reluctantly. Your Silver Lance falls to the floor with a clatter. Corrine and Petra stare at you, slow to react, before following suit and dropping their weapons as well. Both of them look worse for wear and ready to collapse. “Let him go!”Kronya remains where she stands, holding Caspar by the throat. For a second it seems as though she’s ready to comply, but instead, she tightens her grip on his throat. “Honestly, how stupid are you?” She asks, flashing you a dark grin. “You’re about to lose another fri-“
Something quick flies over your shoulder and straight towards Kronya, faster than your eye can keep up. The Sword of the Creator firmly hits its target into the woman’s shoulder, sending her flying back with a scream. Kronya is planted firmly in the ground, while the Heroes Relic retracts itself back to its source.
“Never drop your weapon, Blair. In situations such as these, you’d be willingly throwing away your only advantage.” Professor Byleth says. The Professor is covered in blood, though from what you can gather, none of it is hers. “And as for you, Caspar. I thought I’d instructed you far better than this. Allowing yourself to be captured by the enemy? When we get back to Garreg Mach, you can count on an impromptu lesson.”
“Professor!” Caspar yells, running over to distance himself from the Assassin. “I-I owe you one.”
“Stand aside, students. You’ve done well. Leave the rest to me.” The Professor begins walking closer towards her downed opponent, the Sword of the Creator clutched firmly in her hand. As she approaches the enemy, Kronya jumps up at the last second, attempting one final surprise strike on the Professor. Her attack is devastatingly swift, but the Professor blocks it with seemingly no effort. The desperate Assassin unleashes a barrage of attacks from every direction, each one blocked with a resounding clang. Finally, the Professor lets loose a brutal kick to her midsection, sending her once again sprawling to the ground, where she struggles to get up.
“I…don’t understand? How could I really lose…to lowly creatures such as you?” Kronya asks herself. There remains very little of the devious and sadistic woman who tortured you just a month ago. In her place is a broken and frightened girl. One who is doing her best to appear as small as possible and inch away from the Professor.
“You’re not like them…Just what the hell are you?!” She screams at the Professor, before making a quick break into the forest, where she attempts to flee. Without a word and wasting no time, the Professor follows suit and takes chase after her.
>A): Follow the Professor>B): Stay behind and tend to you and your friend’s wounds.
