Vessels - You only meet 5 in the game, but who knows, maybe I’ll add some bonus.
You can probably notice that some of these are incomplete, this is mainly because I couldn't figure out how to convert Ford into that vessel. I'd love to hear any suggestions if you have any ^^
- The Brother - the Damsel - a gentle vessel. Agreeable and compliant
- Category One Ghost - The Burned Grey - a kind vessel. It can’t hurt you, right?
- Epilogue : Perfect World - Happily Ever After - This is what you wanted. Everyone gets their happy ending. So why does it feel so… wrong?
- The Weapon - the Razor - a dangerous and sneaky vessel. Lures you into a false sense of security
- The Anomaly - the Stranger - a contradiction. Monstrous. Shouldn't exist.
- The Feral - the Beast - an instinctive vessel. Will act out of self-preservation alone.
- The Den -
- The Wild -
- The Author - the Witch - a skeptical vessel that has beenbetrayed one too many times. Won’t trust you no matter what.
- The Thorn -
- The Captive - the Prisoner - a pessimistic vessel. Has given in to the circumstances of its imprisonment. Only relies on themself.
- Category Six Ghost - The Drowned Grey - a phantom vessel. Wants revenge. Wants you to feel the pain it did.
- The Puppet - The Cage - a broken vessel. It has succumbed completely to the greater will of its captor. There’s nothing you can do to help it now.
- The Persistent - the Specter - an undead vessel. Your actions will come to haunt you.
- The Two Brothers - The Princess and the Dragon - See things from his perspective for once.
- The Forgotten - The Nightmare -A vessel you left behind. It wont let you run away that easy.
- The Wraith -
- The Undaunted - the Tower - a powerful vessel. You are nothing to them.
- The Megalomaniac - The Apotheosis - an unstoppable vessel. You can only sit and watch.
Ciphers - To any Slay the Princess fans, these ciphers may be familiar. That's because they are all direct quotes from the game (most from the Princess herself). I added these because 1. I didn't know what to put in the summary and Point B) I wanted to add something fun for my friend Mags to do. So uh.... Congrats if you decoded any of these.
Spoilers!

- Chapter 16 - in the end, no matter how vainly you struggle against me, my will triumphs over yours.
- Chapter 17 - This isn't just for my glory. You are a part of this now.
- Chapter 19 - This was always how it was going to end, and this was always how it was going to begin.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I'll answer them as best I can. I know some parts of this fic can be confusing 😅
And I know a lot of people were saying "Who's the entity taking Ford? Its not acting like Bill." I hope I made it clear it was Bill, just a broken, disjointed version of him... I might have to rewrite some bits.
"What's the deal with the mirror?" That's never explicitly explained, but I've always assumed it was the Narrator keeping an eye on things.
"Why can't Stan recognize Ford's voice in his head?" You know how when you listen to a recording of yourself, your voice sounds different than how you hear it? It's like that.
But for now, I take my bow! I am done. Thank you so much to everyone who read this!💗💗💗
