The Black Eagles.

[ashenvaliant]

...





[ huh. ]

... How many variations of Fódlan are there?

[shaft]

[ He laughs. ]

They seem to be endless. Which class was it for you?

[ashenvaliant]

The options are, apparently. And with that, I suspect how things played out for us differed immensely too.

[ hm. ]

Golden Deer.

[ lol ]

[shaft]

[ what ]

That is surprising. [ his brows furrow ] And which house were you in, Yuri?

[ashenvaliant]

[ he just raises his eyebrows. ]

There’s a pattern, I think. Which class did the Professor teach?

[shaft]

[ he laughs ]

Quid pro quo, hm? She taught the Eagles.

[ashenvaliant]

I see.

So, after saying she taught the Golden Deer where I’m from I’ll leave it at that.

[ spot the pattern claudey. ]

[shaft]

[ ]

... I haven't heard that one before.

[ashenvaliant]

I do like to be unique.

You and Flayn were from the same Fodlan then? Dimitri sounds like he’s from one that wasn’t mine or yours, and Sylvain is currently a mystery but given he didn’t have any recognition of me at all, I wonder if he’s from a different place entirely.

Even if I assume he stuck with his original house, Dimitri seemed to recognise me. Sylvain did not.

[shaft]

Sylvain also said Byleth was a man in his Fódlan, so there's definitely something strange going on with him.

[ gross ]

But there are constants. Each one of us was thrown into war during the tail end of our time at Garreg Mach.

[ashenvaliant]

[ me getting fire emblem haven cast flashbacks with all the different timelines there were. ]

… Oh, well. That confirms it then. How weird, thinking of the Professor as a man.

[ huh. ]

Yes, that’s standard across the board. I imagine the events as they play out were not quite the same though, given everyone’s different priorities during the war.

[shaft]

Yeah, that does seem to be the point where most of the deviation occurs.

[ ... ]

So we were in the same house...

[ he's just fascinated by this ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ help. ]

Is that really so surprising?

[shaft]

[ looks at him ]

Yeah, kinda.

[ashenvaliant]

[ just a flat look. ]

And why is that.

[shaft]

My last memory of you is helping Edelgard invade Derdriu and attacking all of my friends.

So it's a bit of a shift.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he pulls a face. ]

Ah. That's awkward.

[shaft]

A little. Yeah.

[ he shrugs ]

[ashenvaliant]

Last thing I remember was Grondor.

[ hmm. ]

I'd say no one died there, but that would be lying.

[shaft]

Grondor? Byleth mentioned that when I met her at the school.

There was no battle there that I recall.

[ashenvaliant]

[ ... hm. ]

Well, there was for us. All three houses meeting on the same field five years on.

It's not as though there was any victor, but I would say we got out relatively unscathed. Edelgard retreated.

[ ... ]

[shaft]

Retreated? I can't say I was lucky enough to ever see such a thing.

How interesting... Our paths seem to be quite different.

[ashenvaliant]

[ oof. well. that’s awkward. ]

It was a mess and there’s never a good outcome to it.

Apparently. Given your apparent way of doing things, it’s not as though we dove directly into the thick of Edelgard and Dimitri’s vendetta. Not that it stopped conflict finding its way to where we were, but it was probably the biggest skirmish I can remember.

[shaft]

[ Hums thoughtfully. ]

Sounds like it... What's my endgame, anyway? Stopping Edelgard?
