Corrin fought against his instincts to stop himself from snatching the tiny singer from the water as her body became brighter and brighter. A current formed in the water, flowing in every direction towards the light that was Azura. A sphere formed around her body, droplets swirling in from the lake. It started to float into the air, the flow defying gravity to join the floating object. Unable to see Azura anymore, Corrin reached out, only for his hand to be repulsed by an invisible force. He could only watch as more and more water surged forth. The sphere grew bigger and bigger, until it almost matched him in size. It then floated over to the shore, hovering just next to Corrin. Suddenly the water vanished, as if dried in an instant, revealing Azura at her full size once more. She gently floated to the ground.
"Azura!" Corrin cried out, grabbing her in a hug. Azura gasped, surprised, but returned the hug. "You're back to normal!"
"Yes," Azura smiled, "now I can properly return all of those hugs you've given me. I've wanted this for so long."
"Me too," Corrin agreed, "but there was something special about those finger-hugs we had."
"Yes there was," Azura said, as they released each other, "I think I'll miss those, in a strange way."
"So will I," Corrin said. He looked over the lake. The glow was gone, now seemingly normal once again.
"I can still feel something strange here," Azura revealed.
"Really?" Corrin asked, "what could it possibly be?"
"I don't know," Azura replied, "perhaps there is a way to open the portal back to where we were."
"Let's not risk it now," Corrin said, "we can figure that out later. For now, let's go and tell everyone the news!"
"Yes," Azura nodded.
Corrin started to walk, but caught himself holding his hand out. He had gotten so used to carrying Azura around that he still worried about the tiny woman. At least she was still with him, at her normal size once more. Nodding to himself, he headed back towards the castle.
Azura watched Corrin. When he looked down at his hand, she felt like her heart might break. Part of her missed being so close to him. She turned back towards the lake, stretching her arms. It was good to have them back at their full length. She was also glad to have her independence back. Now she really could help Corrin save the world.
"Azura?" She turned to see Corrin, still waiting for her.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said, hurrying after him.
Sometime later, Corrin was out for a walk. Recent battles had been tough, but he was glad of the support of allies who had joined him, Hoshidans and Nohrians alike. On his morning walks, he often visited the lake, but today there was someone there.
"Azura?" Corrin asked the figure.
"Oh, hello Corrin," she replied. Corrin joined her, the two staring out across the lake.
"There's still so much to do," Corrin said, his battle far from over.
"Indeed. But you will lead us to victory. I know it," Azura told him.
"Thanks, Azura. You've always believed in me," Corrin replied.
"Of course. Do you remember the time I was tiny?" Azura asked.
"How could I forget?" Corrin said.
"I suppose I should thank you again. You looked after me for all of that time, when no-one else could," she turned towards him and smiled.
"You're welcome," Corrin replied, "in a way, I kind of miss those times. You were so cute! And useful, despite being so small."
Azura blushed. "W-well, I suppose I miss it too. We had fun, and I was always by your side."
Corrin turned to look at her. The two looked into each other's eyes.
"Hey, Azura... Do you think... There's a way to shrink you again?" Corrin asked.
"Probably," Azura replied, "maybe, once the war is over, we could go look for it?"
