What if Astéria turned into a child one morning because of a spell?

Poehina looked down and saw a tiny Astéria. There was no doubt that it was her because it was exactly the same person except with shrunken lambs. She had the same dark curls, the same color changing eyes, the same dark skin... She was a pocket version of the female lead and Poehina knew that she should have been worried and should have done her best to turn her back. However, Astéria looked so cute that Poehina just wanted to squish her to death.

"You are so cute!"

Astéria looked up at Poehina with huge shining eyes that immediately turned purple. She completely forgot to blink and continued staring at Poehina with her mouth wide open. Seeing that made the latter laugh:

"Do I look pretty?"

Astéria immediately blushed and she closed her mouth tightly before rubbing her face.

"Oh, my! You are getting cuter by the second!"

Poehina kneeled down in front of Astéria:

"I love you so much."

Astéria froze again and her eyes turned fluorescent purple. Seeing her like this made Poehina rub her hair:

"You are adorable. I love you with all my heart."

The next second Astéria jumped into Poehina's arms. Poehina laughed happily before hugging that tiny being very close.

"So so cute."

Seeing this scene made Saber frown. Poehina had completely forgotten about her presence at this point and jumped when she heard her voice:

"I completely forgot that Astéria was a child once. It's so weird seeing her so weak."

The child in Poehina's arms didn't seem to like being called weak and she glared at Saber from Poehina's hands. Seeing that, Saber crossed her arms on her chest:

"What? I didn't say anything wrong. I could take you down in a second in this state."

Poehina shielded Astéria from Saber:

"No one can hurt my baby. While she is like this, I am going to protect her."

Saber smiled:

"With all due respect, Poehina, between us I am the experienced killer."

Poehina shrugged, not at all scared:

"And I am ready to die for this child.

-Oh, yeah? Then should we check?

-No!"

Both of the girls looked at the panicked child.

"Don't worry, baby. Saber was just kidding. She would never hurt me, we are good friends."

Astéria didn't seem convinced and she continued glaring at Saber with red eyes. Poehina kissed her on the forehead and Astéria's eyes finally came back to purple:

"Be nice to Saber. You will have to stay with her for a few hours while I find a way to turn you back."

Saber shook her head:

"I am not staying with tiny Godzilla. I by far prefer going on dangerous missions.

-No. It's my role to protect her."

Poehina was determined and Saber tried taking Astéria from her. However the child clung even harder to Poehina, crying her eyes out:

"No!"

Saber tried pulling with all her strength but Astéria wasn't letting go. The little child was so strong that Poehina winced. Seeing that, Astéria immediately let go, her eyes yellow. She looked so panicked that Poehina quickly smiled:

"Wow, you are so strong sweety. Don't worry you didn't hurt me, I just got surprised. But you should really stay with Saber now."

Astéria quickly shook her head:

"Please no... I want to stay with the pretty Lady.

-Did you just call me pretty Lady?"

Poehina hugged Astéria to her chest before twirling:

"You are so cute!"

Astéria finally started smiling and Poehina put her down:

"I will be back soon, don't worry.

-But it's dangerous...

-Don't worry about me. I am not only a Wizard's wife. I am very strong too."

Astéria's eyes turned green:

"Do you have a wife?"

Poehina smiled:

"What? Are you jealous? I think you would love her."

Astéria started pouting, not at all agreeing with Poehina. This was so cute that Poehina clenched and unclenched her fists a few times to avoid grabbing Astéria's cheeks.

"I am better than your wife."

Poehina raised her eyebrows:

"You are better than my wife?

-Yes.

-Are you sure? You never met her. And she is the best wife I could ever ask for."

Astéria's eyes turned dark red.

"I can fight your wife.

-Oh, really?

-Yes. And if I win, will you marry me?

-I am sorry darling but you are a bit young to be my wife.

-Then I will grow up.

-That's the reason why I have to leave you for a few hours."

Astéria opened wide eyes:

"Will you help me grow up?

-Of course, darling.

-And once I grow up, will you marry me?"

Poehina rubbed Astéria's hair:

"When you grow up you will be my wife."

This seemed to really please Astéria judging by her grin.

"You have to pinky swear.
-Yes, darling. I swear. Now, stay with Saber and be nice to her, okay?

-Okay."

But as soon as Poehina left, Astéria's eyes turned back to red and every time Saber talked to her, the child ignored her. This made Saber sight

"Come on, it took me years to become your friend. I don't want to go back."
