Another year and another group of new students. Though this year was already turning out to be quite different.

Jeralt is back... and the child. Byleth. Though no-one other than Rhea knows this, Byleth has her beloved mother's crest stone inside his chest. Her last hope of resurrection.

Unfortunately she doesn't quite have the time to consider this right now. There's too much going on with the Eastern Church. They must be crushed swiftly for daring to defile the name of Sothis.

She stands tall and immaculate at the back of the Audience Chamber, awaiting either updates from Seteth or from Jeralt on the troubling situation. Though she smiles softly at the sound of students in the hallway outside, likely heading to the library or the common room.
