This small dragon has been by your side since you were little. No one knows exactly what he is, not even Vyrn himself. He loves apples and hates being called a lizard.
A mysterious winged creature who leads you to destiny, Vyrn loves apples more than anything in the world. Nothing gets on his nerves more than being called cute, your pet, or worst of all: lizard.
Happy birthday!
Heh heh. We've known each other for a long time, haven't we (Captain)?
I've got it! You're always workin' so hard, I'll give ya this apple. I just picked it myself, and it looks so... tasty.
I mean, it's present for you! Here!
Heheh! Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Another year's gone by since we left for the skies, huh?
Ever since we started on our adventure, every day just seems to fly by!
But the place we're trying to reach is still so far away! So let's keep at it!
Heh-heh! Looks like it's time for your birthday again, (Captain)!
Everyone in the crew is getting something ready in their own way to celebrate with you—we're gonna go wild tonight!
But when it comes to celebrating your birthday, I ain't losing to nobody!
Happy birthday, (Captain)! Thanks for everything always!
Happy birthday!
We sure do have a lot more allies these days than when we first left Zinkenstill...
Back then I never would have imagined your birthday becoming such a boisterous affair!
But we're headed for Estalucia, so this is only the beginning!
We've got lots more adventures waiting for the both of us!
Right, partner?
Heheh! Hey, partner! So your birthday's come around again, huh? Time to celebrate like we always do!
Ya know, I really look forward to your birthday every year. You're lookin' more and more like your dad.
We've made a ton of friends we can count on, and you've gotten a whole lot stronger too. As your partner, I'm really proud of ya!
Maybe next year, you'll—Nah, I guess that's jumpin' the gun a bit too much.
But I'm excited to see just what kinda skyfarer you'll turn out to be!
Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Happy birthday!
Hehe, did I catch you off guard? Bet you aren't ready for the next surprise!
It's present time! I got you something real cool!
Ta-da! Look at this apple! Never seen one like it before, right?
I found it at the Knickknack Shack and snatched it right up.
Kinda feel bad since it's a rarity and all, but I wanted you to have it more than anyone else.
You won't get hurt or sick for a year if you eat it! At least, that's what I heard. Probably just a tall tale, but...
We're always runnin' off on some adventure or another, yeah? Figured somethin' is better than nothin' to keep you healthy.
That's why I got you this apple!
Just promise you'll tell me how it tastes after!
Choose: Why don't we share it?
Y-you sure? It's your birthday present though...
Choose: Let's split it.
Y-you sure? It's your birthday present though...
Hehe, thanks! You're the best! Nothing beats having you for a partner!
Happy birthday, (Captain)!
Boy, a year flies by like a shooting star. Feels like only yesterday I was wishin' you a happy birthday.
Fun times, hard times... This year's seen it all.
But the important thing is we can still come together today and raise the roof!
By the way, do you know what the secret was for making it safely through last year? That's right, the apple I gave you!
Now before I get ahead of myself, I gotta give you this!
It's your super-mega-awesome present!
Ta-da! Does it blow your mind? This year's apple was specially grown!
I've actually had this in the works since way early on. I had a chat with Siero, and she introduced me to a friend who grows rare apples.
Thanks to those two, the secret apple plan went off without a hitch.
Do you like it?
Choose: I love it!
Hehe... Aw, you're making me blush. I knew the apple would be a hit!
Choose: What a thoughtful gift!
Hehe... Aw, you're making me blush. I knew the apple would be a hit!
Now I gotta think of a way to top myself for next year...
So let's promise to spend next year's birthday together too!
Just about anything can happen on our adventure. Makin' this promise'll be like a prayer for luck.
But who needs luck when you're (Captain)? Nothin' can take you down!
You and I are pals till the very end! Whatever happens, we'll always face it together!
So one more time a big happy birthday to you, buddy!
Happy birthday, champ! Celebrating your birthday never gets old!
I'm pretty sure it's no surprise by now, but I got you a birthday apple!
Or I woulda, if this year's harvest wasn't so bad. None of the places I checked had even decent apples in stock.
But that didn't stop me from comin' up with another sweet present!
Wa-bam!
It's an apple sapling! Hehe, betcha didn't see that coming.
If good apples are hard to find, then we'll just have to grow 'em ourselves!
We're budding orchardists! How's that for a new hobby?
With you and me raisin' this tree, our apples'll be known as the best in the world!
You know, we haven't seen the last of danger on our adventure. Not even close.
We could grow the prettiest, juiciest apples in the history of apples, but none of that would matter if I lost ya.
We're always gonna be doin' stuff as a team, from island-hopping to pickin' our fruits when they ripen!
That's a Vyrn guarantee, buddy!
Happy birthday, (Captain)! Happy to be able to celebrate another year with you, buddy!
Well, here's this year's present! Hope ya like it!
Cool, right? It's a super shiny golden apple! I grew it myself!
I gave you an apple sapling last year, right? After that, I kinda wanted one for myself too.
So I've actually been growin' an apple tree in our ship's storage room...
And that's how this shiny golden apple came to be!
I wanted you to try it, so go ahead! I'm sure it's gonna taste amazing! (Captain) takes the apple from Vyrn and thinks for a while. The captain takes out a knife and slices the apple in half.
Wha? You're givin' half of it to me? But this apple's for you... Seeing Vyrn hesitate, (Captain) asks if this reminds him of anything. Vyrn's expression lights up.
Come to think of it... You and I shared an apple once back in the day, didn't we?
When you were just a wee kid, we got lost in the forest one time...
Both of us were so hungry we couldn't move...
Then somehow, you found an apple and we shared it.
Heheh! You know, that's actually how I got to like apples even more!
There's a kind of nostalgic taste to it... Reminds me of how that little kid I was with back then's grown up so much.
All right! I guess we can share this one too!
Let's eat it together while we take a trip down memory lane! (Captain) nods, and the two bite into their halves of the apple. Without a doubt, the apple is the most delicious thing they've ever eaten in the skies.
Seems to me there are plenty of ways to ring in the new year.
But if you ask me, I just wanna celebrate with everyone and have lots of fun!
There's no better start to a new year, don't you think?
Happy New Year, (Captain)! Let's go make our rounds for the new year!
Speaking of which, we gotta swing by the shrine at Zinkenstill!
I mean, who knows who or what we might run into, right?
But more importantly because Zinkenstill is our home, after all!
Happy New Year!
Since it's that time of the year, whaddya say we head to that shrine in Zinkenstill?
Right... Everybody's so serious here. Makes me a little nervous, but overall this place's still got a good vibe.
How about we think up some new goals for the year!
Cuz, you know, this is where it all began for us!
Hey, partner. We made it into the new year! So glad we could come back here again.
Being back home sure helps you recover from all the stuff that happened in the past year. Let's take it easy during New Year's.
Wha? You're gonna go for another shrine visit? Heheh, guess I'll come with ya!
Let's see, what should I wish for this year...
Hmm...
I wanna get even bigger this year! So big that I won't get called a lizard anymore!
I guess that's about it for me. What about you, (Captain)?
Whaddya mean it's a secret! C'mon, we're buddies, right? You can tell me!
What's that! You came to give me chocolate? Heh-heh... Today's the only day I'm happy to get chocolate over apples! We've been together so long that I'm a little bashful about getting chocolate from you, but thanks a bunch! I guess I'd better get something really special for you in return. Look forward to it!
Heh-heh... Thanks for the chocolates, (Captain)!
I mean, we've known each other since forever, haven't we?
That's why I'm super thrilled to still get chocolates from you!
I'm gonna get you something twice as awesome in return!
Hey! Oh, you're giving me Valentine's Day chocolate? Heh heh... Thanks! You know, it's always the best getting chocolate on Valentine's Day! It's the only day where chocolate seems to taste better than apples. Huh? You thought I might say that? What! This is a chocolate-covered apple? Who knew something like this existed! It looks super good! You're the best, (Captain)!
Gulp... So we're gonna play Valentine's roulette this year, huh? Just one of these chocolates have apple in it, right? And all the others have strawberry or banana or some other stuff... All right, I'm gonna use my seventh sense and pick out the one with apple! Here I go... Chomp! Darn it! It's strawberry! And it's so good! Nom nom... Okay, next is definitely gonna be apple... What, this is orange! And it's actually kinda tasty too, nom nom... Okay, next is apple for sure! What the heck! Now it's banana! Darn it! I mean, this tastes amazing too... Nom nom... Argh! All of it was so good that I'm all full before I even got to the apple!
Oh, hey! Come here, (Captain) I've got somethin' for ya! A nice White Day present from me! I know since we're always together we kind of take it for granted... But sometimes it's fun to change it up and do something nice for the other, you know!
Heheh! Today's White Day, right? So I got you something!
Oops! I better tell ya first that you won't find any apples inside.
This time I tried to think of something you'd want instead of something I'd want, (Captain)!
And if it makes you happy, then I'm happy too!
Here, (Captain), this is for you!
I got you a present for White Day!
Heh-heh... I think you're really gonna dig this one!
After all, who knows what you like more than the one who's been with you from the very start?
Heh heh... You know what day it is today, don't you? So here's your White Day present! I got some of the others to teach me how to make some candy! Haha... They're pretty good if I do say so myself! Try one!
Heheh! (Captain), I've got somethin' just for you in return for Valentine's! Check out this masterpiece of a cookie! It's shaped just like me! And it tastes pretty good too! Hm? What's with the weird expression? Can't tell if you're happy or not... Oh, you can't bear to bite into it since it looks like me? That's true, gettin' bitten has gotta hurt... D-don't worry about it! I don't mind at all! Not one bit! ... H-hey... Are you gonna eat me from the head or the tail? You know, just asking...
Heh heh heh. I ain't takin' no candy this year. I'm only acceptin' apples!
Huh? What about apple pie?
Hehehe.
Just gimme something with apple in it! Apple candy, or just apples! No wait, gimme both or you're gonna have trouble!
I was debatin' what kind of costume to wear this year and asked around the ship for advice...
Some of the crew suggested that I dress up as a dragon! Can you believe that?
Can't they see I'm already a full-fledged dragon without needing any kind of costume?
Hey. Why'd you look away all of a sudden? Don't ignore me, (Captain)!
Grrar!
Hehe! Did I scare ya?
I'm a dragon after all! I can be pretty fearsome when I wanna be!
Yup, Halloween is all about scaring the britches off your buds!
Aaall right, who's next? Maybe Katalina... I wonder if I can get a good scream out of her!
Vyrn: (Captain), help me! It's Katalina!
I was hiding in a pumpkin, hopin' to give her a good scare...So I jumped outta the pumpkin and went "Roooar"!
But then she got all excited and started chasing me around!
I've got a feeling that if I get caught, it's gonna be bad! So you gotta hide me, (Captain)! Choose: Trick or treat!
Wha! You want candy in exchange for hiding me? Geez, what kinda friend are you!
Guess it's give and take...All right, hang on. I've got candy in here somewhere... Vyrn rummages through the bag he's holding. Just as he is about to take out the candy, a shadow looms up from behind him. Vyrn: Eeek!
Whew... We're just about finished with the holiday decorations! They had me flying back and forth since I was the only one who could reach high places. But it all turned out terrific. It's fun to work together and make something like this! Everything's ready for the feast now. So let's go there, chow down, and be sure to get a slice of that cake!
Hey, (Captain)... Do you think I'm still a kid? Or am I an adult?
I don't really want everyone treatin' me like a baby...
But if I'm already fully grown, that means I won't get any bigger than this...
Hrm... I dunno.
Well, for now I think if I'm good all year I should still get a present!
Hey, listen!
I asked the guys in the kitchen to make me an apple pie for tonight!
Haha! Asking gets ya a long way, huh. I wonder how they're gonna prepare!
Whoops. No time to be thinking about that.
For the pie to taste the best, I've gotta work my tail off on this ship decorating!
Leave all the high places to me! I'ma decorate the apples off this place!
Let's see... Where am I supposed to take this one to... Oh, (Captain). Take a look, I'm Santa for today! Since we've got a lot more people in the crew now including kids, I'm handing out presents to everyone! I got asked to be Santa since my scales look so festive and red! Check out this mountain of presents. Geez, the holy night's gotta be the busiest time of the year for Santa! Huh? Who asked me to do it? I was kinda spacin' out, so I don't really remember. Come to think of it, who the heck prepared so many presents anyway? Holy night sure is a mysterious night! Well, looks like I'm gonna get compensated too, so leave it to me to get the job done! "I'm counting on you to play Santa. You will be compensated with a mountain of apples. Ho ho ho!"
That's what the person said. These requests sure get wacky sometimes!
"Vyrn" is derived from "wyvern", a mythical animal usually represented as a 2-legged winged creature resembling a dragon. It is pronounced identical to the masculine given name "Vern".
Vyrn's Japanese name, "ビィ", is typically transliterated into English as "Vee" on official Japanese merchandise and media.
"ビィ" is pronounced similarly to the Latin letter "B", which alludes to the name of Vyrn's true origin.
I'm Vyrn, and this here's the Captain! Nice to meetcha! We're skyfarers. Hehe, pretty cool, right? Huh? Lizard? Did you just call me a lizard?!
Well, it's true that I don't even know what I am... But I know who I am! And now's not the time to be runnin' scared—I'm going to do whatever it takes to help my friends!
