A Knight Forever Hunting
During a mission to infiltrate a thieves' hideout, the crew frees the captive knight Razia and fights alongside her. Razia initially mistakes the crew to be members of the Zeyen faith, which she has sworn vengeance against, but the crew manages to convince her of their innocence.
Vyrn: I think we're getting close to the thieves' den. Keep your eyes peeled, guys!
Lyria: Right!
During a visit to a town, the crew is entrusted with a request.
Their task is to clear out a thieves' stronghold in a nearby mountain. Or at least that's what they were told.
Vyrn: So now we just—
???: Ungh... I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace!
???: S-stop! No! Aaagh!
Vyrn: H-hey, did you hear that? Sounds like someone's bein' held captive!
Lyria: We have to hurry and save her, (Captain)!
(Captain) nods and they dash into the cave.
???: Huff... Huff... I... I am a knight!
???: I won't be done in by something like this—Yaaagh!
A group of bandits stands around an immobilized Draph who is breathing heavily.
Thief: Yer a feisty one, I'll give ya that. Let's take it up a notch, and—Huh?
Thief: Who the heck are you?
Vyrn: It's time to take out the trash! Come on, Lyria! Go, (Captain)!
Thief: Urgh... Who are... you meddlers...
Lyria: Are you okay? We'll untie you right away!
???: I'm fine... Thank you.
Lyria: How are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?
???: No, I'm fine. You have my gratitude for getting me out of that bind.
Razia: My name is Razia. Who are yo—Gasp!
Razia: Behind you!
Vyrn: Shoot, there's more of 'em?
Thief: Got ya!
Lyria: No!
Razia: Impossible! That was the power of a primal beast. How was she able to bend it to her will?
Lyria: (Captain)! Are you okay?
(Captain) is fine and thanks Lyria for her concern.
Lyria: Phew... That's a relief.
Vyrn: Yeesh. I was all on edge back there.
Vyrn: Oh yeah, we should thank that girl too. If it weren't for her...
Vyrn: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
When (Captain) and crew turn back toward Razia, they find themselves staring into the barrel of a cannonlance.
Vyrn: C-could you not point that thing at us?
Razia: Silence, adherent of Zeyen!
Razia: I can't believe you've managed to grasp the power of the primals and make it your own.
Razia: But to what end? I know you're scheming something, and I want answers!
Vyrn: Er, what? What? Look, we're just a buncha skyfarers...
Razia: Cut the crap! I don't want to hear any of that Zeyen sweet-talk!
Razia: Now answer my question!
Lyria: Vyrn's telling the truth! We're just—
Razia: It's obvious you have no intention of giving me a straight answer. I'll just have to do this the hard way!
Razia: What? Why won't it...
Vyrn: Did it misfire?
Razia: Oh right, it must be empty...
Razia: I'll just put in another magazine... But it looks like I'm out of those too.
Razia: My subordinates were worried about letting me handle the ammo...
Razia: Grargh! F-fine!
Razia lifts the cannonlance and aims it once more at the crew.
Razia: Oops—
But her foot gets caught on one of the ropes the thieves used to bind her, and she tumbles to the ground with a loud thud.
Vyrn: ...
Lyria: ...
Razia: ...
Lyria: Um... Are you all right?
Razia: That... hurt.
Razia: Ugh... How Zeyen of you to ensnare me in a makeshift trap!
Vyrn: But we didn't do anything...
Razia: Rest assured, a shoddy trap like this isn't going to stop—Hurgh!
Razia: Ngh... Somehow I'm all tied up again... I can't move...
Razia thrashes around trying to unbind herself.
But the more she struggles, the tighter the rope becomes.
Vyrn: Maybe you shouldn't...
Razia: Aaaugh! This sucks!
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: ...
Razia: Ungh, I wish I were dead!
Razia: I can't stand that look of pity in your Zeyen eyes!
Razia: I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace!
Vyrn: Wouldja at least hear us out first? You've got us all wrong!
(Captain) and crew calmly explain Lyria's powers and the purpose of their journey.
Razia: You think I'm stupid enough to fall for an absurd story like that?
Razia: Zeyen practitioners are the only ones that can manipulate the power of the primals!
Razia: I won't be misled by your lies!
Vyrn: I don't think she's getting the message. What should we do?
Lyria: May I ask you something? Why do you dislike the Zeyens so much?
Razia: You want to know... why?
Razia: My father was brainwashed by the Zeyens to sow the seeds of war in my country.
Razia: Then I lost my dearest friend because of them... And to top it off, they even took my younger sister!
Razia: I'll never forgive them! They took every important person in my life away from me!
Vyrn: Fine, but how many times do we gotta repeat ourselves? We ain't no Zeyens!
Vyrn: For cryin' out loud. What's it gonna take for you to believe us?
Razia: Nothing you say can change my mind.
Razia: Huh? Travel... with you? What's your game?
Lyria: We're not playing any games.
Vyrn: You won't listen to us, so (Captain)'s gonna let our actions speak for themselves.
Lyria: Right. I'm sure you'll believe us once you get to know us better!
Razia: Are you mad? The second you drop your facade, you're mine...
Lyria: That's fine by us! We have nothing to hide!
Lyria: So please join us on our journey.
Lyria: I think we'll be able to understand each other much better if we do.
Lyria: Well?
Razia: ...
Razia: Very well. Show me the meaning behind your actions.
Razia: Whatever the case may be, you're too dangerous to ignore. I'll be watching you like a hawk.
Razia: Once I uncover your evil Zeyen plot, you'll be forced to face justice!
Choose: Then you can stay here.
Razia: W-wait! I can't move! You're going to just leave me behind?
Vyrn: We ain't got much of a choice, Scrappy. You'll just attack us if we untie you.
Razia: Ngh...
Vyrn: Do you promise not to fight us if we untie you?
Razia: Impossible! There's no way I can overlook such dangerous individuals when they're right in front me!
Vyrn: Yeah, that's what I thought. Guess we'll just leave you here!
Razia: Ugh. I can't stay like this.
Razia: But my only other option is to swallow the bitter pill of these believers...
Razia: No, wait.
Vyrn: You got something to say, Scrappy?
Razia: I'll compromise. As long as you don't do anything evil, I promise not to harm you.
Razia: Now cut me loose!
Vyrn: For real? You're not lying, are you?
Razia: A knight never goes back on her word!
Razia: In fact! Let me accompany you on your journey!
Vyrn: What? Where's this coming from all of a sudden?
Razia: As I've told you countless times before, you're too dangerous. That's why I'm going to watch you like a hawk!
Razia: I won't cause trouble. I just want to travel with you.
Razia: If you're truly as innocent as you say, then you shouldn't have any objections.
Lyria: What do we do?
Vyrn: What else can we do? We have to take her.
Vyrn: Well then, I guess Scrappy's gonna be following us around wherever we go.
Lyria: Aha... ha... Yeah...

Vyrn: All righty then. Let's get those ropes loose.
Razia: Thank you. I can move on my own again.
Lyria: Watch out, Razia! The rope is still—
Razia: Wha-Aaah!
Razia: Ow, ow, ow... Agh! Not again! Stupid rope!
Vyrn: You can't be serious...
Lyria: Are you all right, Razia?
Razia: Not again. Not this feeling of... disgrace!
Razia: Ungh, I wish I were dead!
Razia continues to lament her precarious situation.
The depths of darkness within this woman's heart are too deep to fathom.
Will this new path she has chosen allow her to dispel that darkness?
At this point in time, none can say.
