The Axe Master
Soon after (Captain) awakens the Three-Tiger Axe, Threo appears before the crew and challenges (Captain) to a duel. Threo tells the puzzled group of her fear of weakness, declaring that she would never hand over the title of most powerful warrior to anyone.
(Captain) and company finally succeed in awakening the Three-Tiger Axe.
With a great sense of accomplishment, the crew shares the good news with Sierokarte and returns to the Grandcypher.
Vyrn: Whew, that took forever!
Lyria: Hehe, it took a while but we made it! Congratulations, (Captain)!
Lyria: And it was well worth it! You can practically feel the power coming off the Three-Tiger Axe!
Vyrn: Right? It's incredible. I can't believe we finally made—
Wha?
Wha?
Threo: There you are.
Lyria: Threo? You don't seem like your usual self.
Threo: I've been waiting for you, (Captain). You've awakened your revenant weapon, haven't you?
Vyrn: Wow! How'd you find out so fast? Did you come to celebrate with us?
Threo: Looks like I was right... I was really hoping I wasn't.
Threo: Well, wishing isn't gonna change anything... Prepare to fight, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Wh-what are you talking about? You're joking, right?
Threo: Joking? I ain't got the patience for that sorta thing.
Threo: I never beat around the bush. Draw your weapon, (Captain).
Lyria: W-wait! Please! Why're you doing this?
Threo: Cause this sky isn't big enough for two axe masters. I'm gonna have to put (Captain) down.
Threo: I'm top dog around here. I know that for a fact.
Threo: But now you've gone and done it. You awakened the Three-Tiger Axe, and that makes you an axe master as well, (Captain).
Threo: I may be stupid, but even I know there can't be two number ones.
Threo: One of us has to go, (Captain). It's you or me.
Choose: I think you're stronger.
Threo: I don't like lies, (Captain). I know how powerful you really are.
Threo: We're equals, you and I. Almost equals, at least. That's why a duel is the only way to settle this.
Choose: I never said I wanted to be number one.
Threo: Doesn't matter. Like it or not, want it or not, you're strong. That's all there is to it.
Threo: But I'm not going to let you be the strongest! That's me and no one else!

Vyrn: D-do you really have to fuss over who's called what? Can't we all just get along?
Threo: For as far back as I can remember, I'd been raised by wild animals in the forest.
Threo: Until Anre found me, I knew nothing but that forest. And in the wild there's but one rule...
Threo: Only the strongest survive. The weak are eaten by the strong. If you're weak... you're meat.
Threo: I don't plan on getting eaten. I'm scared of being eaten. I ain't gonna be prey.
Threo: I'm always going to be at the top of the food chain! I've got to be the strongest!
Lyria: Threo! No one's trying to do that to you!
Threo: (Captain) might not be! But if just one person accepts that I'm not number one...
Threo: Then it's over! It's all over! Even if that one person is me!
Threo: I'm the greatest axe wielder in the sky. Threo of the Eternals! And I won't hand that title over to anyone! Prepare yourself!
The Axe Master: Scene 2
Defeated by (Captain), Threo asks how she should be punished. When (Captain) and company are at a loss for ideas, Threo resolves to aid them on their journey by joining the crew.
Threo: Ngh... Huff... Guess... I lost, huh?
Vyrn: Whew, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack back here.
Lyria: Threo...
Threo: You beat me fair and square, no doubt about it. You really are something, (Captain).
Threo: I was no match for you... but I did my best. I've got no regrets!
Threo: So now you can do what you want with me! Boil me, or fry me as you will! Just don't do anything that hurts! I'll cry! Seriously!
Lyria: Wh-what do we do?
Vyrn: I dunno... We didn't exactly plan all of this out.
Threo: What? You can't just walk away like that!
Choose: Let her do what she wants.
Threo: You can't do that! The loser has to do what the winner says!

Lyria: Oh my, looks like we're all stumped...
Threo: Don't tell me you didn't think about what to do to the loser?
Vyrn: Of course not! You were the one who jumped us, remember?
Threo: Oh yeah... Well, then I guess I'll just stick with you, (Captain)!
Lyria: Huh? You mean...
Threo: You beat me, so I work for you now! I'll follow you wherever you go!
Vyrn: Doesn't look like we can talk her out of it. But I guess we don't mind, right?
Lyria: And you're so strong too, Threo! We could really do with your help!
Threo: It's settled then. Better get used to having me around, (Captain)!
And so Threo of the Eternals joins (Captain)'s crew.
Having a companion whose name is known throughout the sky will doubtless be an enormous boon for the crew.
