Death Gate Cycle - love of my life

He wonders what Dimitri saw.

Byleth walks over to the prince, eyes blank. As he crouches down next to Dimitri, Byleth gently touches at his bangs, brushing them away from his face. The prince finally looks at Byleth.

Honestly, Byleth was afraid of what he would find in the prince’s face.

But instead he’s fascinated and asks them to teach him how to play. He picks up the game quickly and soon teaches it to other Patryns, who absolutely LOVE the game because it gives them an unfair advantage over the Sartan (since they actually know what the runes mean).

Soon there’s a bunch of Patryns going around the Nexus challenging any Sartan who’s interested to a game, including some of the Chelestra Sartan (who are at even more of a disadvantage than the Abarrach Sartan because the game is new to them).

Some mental notes for future:

1. Sartan that ABSOLUTELY have to play this game are Ramu (need to make it work somehow!), Balthazar and maybe Vasu?

2. Patryns know that they are better at this game so they want to exploit it as much as possible.

A sketch for @calleo of Samah from The Death Gate Cycle going off just a text description. It’s been fun seeing how other artists have handled him as well! :)
