Anna Försterling

He'd seen her – in Avalon, when they'd all gone into the Eluvian. But fragmented memories were harder and harder to piece together, and with Eivor so caught up in his emotions, he'd barely processed who she truly was and where he'd known her from. Moments in Aetheron, the Archon and all of his desires, all those he subjugated, and a dragon that Eivor was certain was more Aetheron than anything else.

He didn't make his presence a surprise or secret, the prismatic dragon landing and shifting before he made his way towards where he'd seen the Steel dragon.

When: before they leave for the Haven

In the nearby stable of the inn with brush in hand Lyklor groomed Renie before a long travel. Inspecting her that she was safe for travel, inspecting in between the feathers of her wings. It was ritualistic. “Who’s a good girl?” his hand stroking her snout. “I’m not sure where we are going but Talisa wants us to meet her. Are you ready?” he didn’t expect an answer while he loaded her up with their belongings which were still awfully light.

Leading Renie through the streets of eterna they were used to the stares by now, it wasn’t mosts everyday to see a pegasus in the streets. While they waited for Talisa a little girl with wide eyes wandered close. A mother looking apologetic behind her as she asked the stale faced Lyklor if she could pet Renie. There was a moment of silence from the despair daemonfey. “I can do you one better.” He looked for permission to pick the small girl up and place her on Renie's saddle. It was while the girl was on renie back that Talisa arrived “I’m sorry we might be a minute.” he apologised as the little girl squealed in excitement, her little legs kicking out.

When: progress day

Talisa had been amazing! Who would have thought the steel dragon would be so good at attracting customers. Nylathria didn’t originally ask her to help because she would be good at it. It was more she liked Talisa company and if the stall was quiet at least they would have each other to talk to. Nyla was smiling warmly at the sight of Talisa “sweetheart I think you have earned a brake.” At this rate Nyla wouldn’t have enough prizes “ you never said you were this good with people.” Nyla said as though Talisa had been keeping a secret from her. “If you’re not carful I might have to offer you a job.” That wouldn’t be such a horrible idea though.

Talisa (x Merlin, possible poly with Arthur or Morgana)

Noble girl, daughter of a member of court and so she crew up in Camelot. Friendly with Morgana but not close, and in Arthur's periphery but never in his inner circle (although there's been talk over the years of an arranged marriage, neither she or Arthur was ever interested in that possibility)

But what no one knows is that Talisa is also a magic user, with a penchant for sneaking off to the forest to teach herself and practice magic in secret. No one, that is, until Merlin. Suspicious of why a noble girl keeps disappearing into the forest at night, Merlin starts to follow her, though he always loses sight of her before he can find out what she's doing

Once Talisa notices that she's being followed, she takes to confronting Merlin head on, diverting his interrogations with charming smiles and easy flirtation, catching him off guard, distracting him, disappearing before he can realize that she never answered any of his questions
