⚔️ // the mock battle was FIERCE. just as byleth had predicted , the golden deer and black eagle houses were holding their own. but byleth had FAITH in her blue lions. they would cut through. to the east , she could spot a shock of golden hair as dimitri’s squadron tore through the competition. to the west , sylvain was deftly dodging through a storm of arrows with ease.
ahead of byleth stood the central ballista. at the top was bernadetta , as the black eagles had staked its claim of the tower first , and around the ballista were students ready to guard their archer. byleth was glad to see her predictions were right.
she CHARGED IN , aiming for the lance user at the forefront of the mound. she danced around his reflexive attack and weaved beneath the steel blade. feinting left , she spun and knocked a blow to his side that spent the young man sprawling. felix and ashe took the opportunity to run past to overtake the ballista as the second lance wielder charged towards the professor. THWIP. TWANG. as CHAOS of battle ensued , byleth couldn’t help but grin for the first time.
was this was it felt like to have FUN?
