“Strange indeed. I can’t say I’ve heard of an artifact like that before.” Byleth was your current traveling companion. After the mages were unable to offer much help to Lyn and Celica, Byleth figured the best course of action was to head out and search for more rings. She had reasoned that she was the best Emblem for this, as if she was shrunken too, she could always turn back time and warn you of the outcome.
You really didn’t expect to find anything. The odds you found even two of these strange magical artifacts, let alone a third, seemed low to you. Yet, against all odds, you saw another glint of metal, finding another ring just at your feet. “Byleth!” You called out, about to put the ring on. “I found one.”
“Good job.” She replied, turning around to face you, “Just don’t-”
As you felt the return of the magic that shrunk your other two companions, you realized your mistake. Without even thinking, you had slipped the ring on your finger, triggering the magical trap once again. As Byleth flew towards you, trapped in a sphere just like Lyn and Celica were, you could see the surprise on her face. She was told by Lyn and Celica what had happened, but experiencing herself growing exponentially smaller was still a shocking experience.
Hastily, you eject Byleth into your hand and apologize for your screw up, and ask Byleth to turn back time to undo it, but Byleth seems to have other ideas. She tells you she can feel a deeper power while shrunken, and asks that you take her back to camp so she can experiment with it. She feels as if she may be able to unlock a way to enhance the strength of Emblems with these rings.
As you oblige, and shrink her back down into the ring, a part of you is relieved that Byleth made this discovery. Perhaps it would be a great asset to you and your allies in the war.
