Hi Chino, hope you're doing good <3
Do you have some dragon lore that wasn't mentioned in Eldarya ? Or anything about Lance and Valkyon ?
Hello !
Thank you, hope you are fine too.
Out of the blue, I dont really have any new dragon lore or Lance/valk infos.
However, I would suggest you to read @tetrakys’ « canonfiction » (does that word exist? 😂) The Dragons call, she wrote some time ago.
We have been talking a lot, and she ended up writing a fanfiction according to what I would do as a Lance/Valk AL.
She, of course, did 95% of the work but she made sure to follow my story guideline and to check every lore or characters details with me, that’s why I said « canonfiction » xD
You will get quite a lot of unanswered details or infos from the main story plot of Eldarya (for which I wasn’t consulted in the original game since episodes 20+ of TO )

Sexual Headcanons: Lance
So, I've decided to share some of my sexual headcanons for Eldarya boys in english. First I did in portuguese, because it is my mother language (so it's easier) but now I want to share it with more people. That's it. Have fun.
Lance
- He likes to have sex in public places where he knows that can be caught.
- He likes to have control (Dom), but he likes to have his authority questioned just to punish Erika with an almost orgasm (orgasm denial).
- He likes to think of having dragon/babies with Guardy.
- He's not used to sharing his girlfriend with his brother, but once in life he would be willing to do a threesome.
- He loves Guardy's ass.
- He likes when Guardy gets on four while he pulls her hair and says dirty things in her ears.
- Calls her "peach", because of her silk skin, the shape of her ass and her taste.
- He prefers to receive more than to give oral sex, but when he does it's the best orgasm of her life.
- He can control the temperature of specific parts of his body, like tongue and fingers, he uses this skill to tease Erika during sex.
- He is the king of dirty talking, loves swearing dirty things to Erika while having sex.
- He stares Guardy intensionally while she gives him blowjobs.
- The most sensible spot in his body is his inner thigh.
- Sometimes slaps Guardy in the ass.
- He likes fast penetration rather than slow.
- Loves when Guardy tries to have some control, or at least when she tries to.
- He likes to cum inside, if he can't, in the external area of the pussy.
- He gently (not always) rubs his dick in Guardy's mouth and face in oral sex.
- He was used to masturbate at least three times a week before dating Guardy.
- He already dreamt about Guardienne on top of his dragon form masturbating while he was flying. Eventually that happened in real life.
- He doesn't care about nudity.
- He is kinda an exhibitionist, for example, if he is masturbating in the bathroom and Erika catches him, he wouldn't stop, he most likely would ask her if she wanted to join him.
- He can have sex all night long, but prefers to stop at the third time.
- He likes to kidnap Guardy in a corner and tease her with kisses and silly hands just to get her frustrated. She tries to do the same, but always gives in and has a quickie with him while he keeps her mouth shut with a hand.
- He likes to deprive Guardy of senses sometimes blocking her vision (with a blindfold), sometimes her hearing, or both. He does that to tease her with his frozen tip fingers (sensory deprivation)
- He loves to see her beg for him.
- He likes bondage.
- Hunter/Prey kink
- He likes the idea of corrupting Guardy, he teases her saying that she is too good, a truly good girl.
That's it, guys. Hope you have enjoyed it because it took some time to translate (so sorry for any mistakes), and let me know if you want with the other guys (I already made Leif and Valky, but still intend to do with Nev and Ez).

I read chapter 11 of the wonderful fanfic Eldarya: The Dragon's Call (Lance) from Tetra (@tetrakys ). I really like Lance's character. Just missing his real in the game. I really liked the moment in the hall with the crystal, so I took out the tablet again. It's a pity that all good things tend to end quickly. It pains me to know that the next chapter will be the last. It still hurts me from the realization of what plot we have lost and how the bees have spoiled our souls without giving this plot. I sincerely respect and love Chino for the fact that even after so much time .... how to say it correctly .... she remembers the canons of the characters. From small details of clothing, to moles and scars. Chino loves his characters. This is what bees lack. They don't care about the characters! Otherwise, they would not have destroyed such an amazing fantasy world in which so much more could be invented! All you need is fantasy. At least that's how I see it.
P.S. It's my personal opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong about something.
P.P.S. I started for health, ended for peace .... I had to say it. Everything that has been accumulated in the soul over the past 4 episodes. I was blind for so long ... I sincerely liked the second season, I defended the plot, the bees and sincerely loved the new Lance because I was waiting for him so much, but starting from the 16th episode my world began to crumble and by the 19th episode it collapsed completely. My eyes were opened. I saw how spoiled, the plot and characters. How much they ruined Lance. Although I still have some warmth towards the new Lance, I like Lance from the origins and from fanfiction more. He is straight NATIVE. Thank you for listening. I won't take up your time anymore.
P.P.P.S. If you have something to say, then you are welcome in the comments. And forgive me for my English. Now that's all for sure.

"Story of Creartion":
✨ Some sketches of the designs that I will handle in this series.
Context: Creation Stories talks about the papyri of ''The Prophecy of Thuban''. One of the dragon rulers of time who was the main person in charge of recounting the different prophecies. This prophecy basically talks about all the time of Eldarya ''The Origins'' (With the twists of my AU). He dictates with different symbols, shapes and even animals, many of the events that later happen before, during and after the white sacrifice. This prophecy, after the fall of the ''tower of Babel'' and with the library of Alexandria, was distorted and became the basis of many of the religions known before and today (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Mayan, etc. . ) in its different versions. The draconian prophecies (in my AU) by law did not use anthropomorphic figures or references to people since they feared that someone could feel alluded to and create a false prophet or heroic figure, so they used the stars, inert objects or even intangible things. BUT this particular prophecy speaks nothing more and nothing less than the main characters of Eldarya (and some secondary ones) and there the whole series that I am doing HAHAHAHAHA. The reason why many of the religious stories are closely similar to this story is because, those stories ARE BORN from this prophecy. That's why it's called "Story of Creartion". Anyway, more lore than anyone is going to read so here I leave these guys:
✨I also need to draw a reference for: Lance which would be air, cold, wind, etc; Mizuki (Gardie) Night, moon, darkness, death, energy; Leiftan's counterpart as war and discord and I still don't know if I'm going to put Miiko in the story. I'm in great doubt (Natural law, balance, justice)

Lesson #52, Earth is Bad, Eldarya good. HC and Erika talks about car roads and asphalt: 
Tumblr media
So is Jamon. And Karuto. And lots of faeries, but you know what, HC and Beemoov? You do not judge bok by its cover, and roads are useful. Try to ride an ambulance with bleeding child in it on your beautiful, picturesque, grassy country roads, and let’s see how happy you will be. 
Tumblr media
What exactly makes Eldarya superior world? They do have prisons and take prisoners, they even do not have  praesumptio boni viri- remember how Erika wasn’t awaiting for her trial in prison?! She was deemed guilty by Miko, without chance to defend herself. Erika acts like humans would kill/hurt faeries the moment they would noticed them and she is partially right. HOWEVER: Anne-Marie and how she had to be protected. Erika. Tenjin. Eldaryan weapons, health-care, all those things are inferior. I know that TO Ewelein pretended how wonderful was eldaryan medicine, but in ANE we learnt that HC discovered pain-killers which... is not much? Am I to believe that no one in Eldarya is greedy?  Purrekos ARE fea, right? Eldarya should be a normal world with normal problems, and if they want to make it an utopia, than why showed us so many ugly parts of it?
Erika decides to make Mathieu relax, because even she realized that something is off: everyone believs he was lying about djin. They suspect he was just afraid of humans’ (because he knows their weapons? because he doesn’t want to attack his race? who knows?) so why was he sent on Earth? This guy is a walking liabilityt there! And we got a lenghty conversation full of empty, half-philosophical sentences. 
Tumblr media
We are crazy, but we feel sane, but who would believe that the guy behind us is a dragon, this is our world, but not anymore. It is quite boring: we jump from “lol a seasoned warrior unable to understand how signal lamps work” to “let’s do some zen in the middle of mission because we didn’t prepare new outfit for this episode”. 
And then Mathieu talks about burgers. If the same person will write NG I don’t think it will last. BTW, have you noticed some serious issues with preregistration? Someone bought lots of bots there ;)
Tumblr media
1) they should wear similar outfits, so they could blend in more, like a true group. 2) I find it hard to believe that they are on an important mission. Allegedly some guardsmen DIED during humans attack, Lance&Nevra&HC had to know them and yet they are acting like they are on a field trip. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hear, hear: they even walk differently than us, scums of Earth. They are magical, gentle, supreme creatures, who never do harm (Lance, Leiftan, Nevra, stay quiet when Erika preaches to masses), never hurt innocent creatures (Lance, don’t cry, you are sorry and you have been in prison ffs, it was only one familiar. Two familiars. Now you have new one, and it is much cooler than your old). Obviously, we all see that Eldarya good, Earth bad? 
You know, I am reading Erika’s thoughts and I feel like she is fetishising faeries. Everything is better as long as it’s not from Earth. Fucking faeraboo. 
Erika’s horny radar helps her realize they are indeed, on a mission and that they didn’t prepare well- bystanders noticed that eldaryans look and act different. Erika, being a faeraboo, decides it’s because they all look and act like warriors, but at least that make her pay more attention to her surroundings. Mind you, they got noticed by Ignatius, they told him she was kidnapped and I bet he already used a phone to call at least Charles. Maybe police. Bunch of idiots with pointy ears. 
Tumblr media
quick, act natural!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But they still go get fastfood- a place, where their... uniquness would still be visible. Can’t they wait couple hours and eath something in the forest? They didn’t take any food with them, right?

Hello, I just saw the post in which you present Kiyoko and I am very interested in knowing more about the 12 lords and about her 🫶🏻 excuse my bad english
Hi! BEHOLD! HERE THEY ARE!
Tumblr media
I actually feel very good that I drew them. Now I have a clear image. These 12 lords are part of a union, something like the EU. They all have their own kingdoms but also are subjects to the one and only king who, to be honest, they don't like him. This is not because he's a bad king but because he seems immature (he's short and looks like a teen).
Between them, it's supposed to be harmony and collaboration, which is most of the time but some of these people are power-hungry and very selfish.
Here's a bit about each of them:
Ophyntan(dragon)- respected and loved by everyone; a tall lady and very strong
Kiyoko(kitsune)- is sort of a loner; people think that she and Ophy are dating secretly
Felicia(fairy)- the nicest fairy of them all; has a very high-pitched voice that could break glass
Marlevaur(elf)- a soft man, but very strong nevertheless and has very nice moves; gay?
Athenna(mermaid)- cool and lively; rarely leaves the sea and spends most of the time looking for corals.
Vlad(vampire)- the so-called "daughter killer", has a strange museum in his mansion and a superiority complex
Lauren(centaur)- hates intruders and won't hesitate to kill; the forest is a sacred place for her
Estelle (witch)- so-called "the scarlet witch", people thought she was dead but she's not... ?; Alice's grandmother
Freed(werewolf)- he and Lucifer are comparing for who had the most legitimate children, but he's far behind; cool dude nevertheless
Alize(unicorn)- is the most beautiful of all, even Snow White is jealous of her; very straightforward most of the time
Clovir(cyclops)- a tall dude with a big heart, wholesome but doesn't like to participate in official meetings
Raye(phoenix)- anger issues and can't keep a man, but very strong and delicate
Most of them took human forms because they think that humans are the most interesting and beautiful creatures since they're favored by God.
There are other lords out there but isn't much known about them or they refused to enter this "EU of magical creatures" for different reasons. This Union was formed after The Great War, when a large number of demons came to each kingdom and attacked everyone and since everyone was by themselves at the time it caused mass destruction. They barely won, so the queen at the time summoned all the lords and asked them to collaborate.
For context, the then-queen was mostly in charge of establishing and maintaining peace between humans and magical creatures and also was a door between everyone and Heaven. Yes, angels are also a door between everyone and heaven but they barely interact with anyone personally (I would like to make an introduction to them in the future).
So after that meeting, the ones who accepted were promised protection from demons and others who would harm any of their kingdoms and some other stuff. Oh, and they were asked to stop fighting each other (because yes, they were fighting a lot) because they were allies now. After that, some closed kingdoms opened their doors to people.
That was the beginning. It took a lot to build a connection between them, to allow marriages between people of different species, different species living in other kingdoms other than their own, etc.
... and that's what I could think for now. If you're interested in someone or something specifically, just ask.
I hope this helps!
Yeah, I used a lot of eldarya stuff.

Kassvin and Valkyon having kids tangent: (pt1)
Kassvins fertility and desire to have any children are both highly debated topics in the Blavian royal court since they are thought to be nonexistent and and obnoxiously prevalent at the same time.
I care not enough about the consequences of shagging to bless (curse) him with little Kassvin clones but I bet he would turn into a villain in his pregnancy.
Like, Valkyon would need to hide bodies.
I imagine he would have a panic attack and call his mom like 'I fucked up, what now?'
No he didn't tell Valkyon, mom is a priority and he can wait.
Mom is so fikin excited?? Like bitch? She finally has mini me's of her mini me. Also, Kassvin is already young enough to be her grandchild, so it was about time for one of the kids to do the deed.
Midas (his sister) was planning to have kids but died, mom has been waiting for these grandkids for twenty years damnit!
Honestly, she likes Valkyon even more than Kassvin does. Pregnancy approved!
Of course, news spread because fuck you Kass. Now he has to run and hide from everyone congratulating him.
He ends up barricading himself in the house in the later months, he's a certified fashionable guy. You're not catching him dead without his waist snatched!
He has a gender reveal party but bakes a normal uncolored cake and shows the guests a hand drawn power point presentation about gender being a social construct. Lance gets drunk as shit and passes out halfway but wakes up to cheer and clap.
He refuses to climb any stairs! Nope, not doing that to my knees thannnnkss! If Valkyon or his brother Avie isn't there to carry him up he turns around and goes home, plans canceled guys!
For years whenever he is under ANY stress he goes 'bad for the baby!' When Valkyon says you're not pregnant dumbass he simply says 'you never know 🙃'
He schedules the baby shower on the day he's expected to give birth so he doesn't have to go. Sorry Valkyon.
Is OUTRAGED that there's no house of the moon in Eldarya. This is an attack on women kind! *goes to give birth in the moon palace of new Blavió*
The children are not allowed to meet ANYONE. Valkyons friends are weirdos, and Kassvin has no friends because he's a nerd. The child stays in the company of his and Valkyons perhaps equally crazy family.
Also, who knows what kind of parent becomes of someone raised by a low-key tyrannical iron fisted military mom queen, a literal dragon and two adult siblings who took him to insane parties in secret when he was a toddler.
Valkyon is a whole different part of this nightmarish equation. You would be wrong if you thought he was any different from Lance, because he's not. They have the exact same childhood and therefore the exact same childhood trauma.
Speaking of Lance. Best uncle ever. Not best as in responsible, best as in clinically insane. I don't need to elaborate you know what I mean.
Maybe I'll make a part two.

I am not your enemy - Lance fanfiction part 26
Good reading guys 💕
Chapter 26 : It’s always been different
Through the curtains in my bedroom, the sun's rays were just beginning to peek out when I woke up.
Sprawled full length in my bed, I pulled a bare leg out from under my duvet while sighing with relief. What a pleasure to find the comfort of my room ! Stretching an arm out in front of me, I was nonetheless surprised to feel my fingers close on the cold sheet where a tall figure should have been standing. In a moment of panic, I hurriedly opened my eyes, falling on empty cushions. Silent, I remained long seconds to observe the loneliness that accompanied me, still in the vapours of my deep sleep.
I couldn't have dreamed that night with Lance, could I ?
Looking down at my body, I saw that no clothing covered me. I would never have slept like this if he hadn't been there, or else it was the sign that I was starting to have dreams that were far too... realistic.
And erotic, in fact.
Staring at a distant point, I remained facing the place the dragon had occupied moments earlier, reminiscing about our late-night conversation as we were entwined in each other's arms.
- Be honest, how many girls have you had relations with ? I questioned him.
Lying against his large chest, I found myself suddenly shaken when Lance had a sudden fit of coughing. When it was finally over, he looked at me in astonishment, obviously not expecting this question.
- Excuse me ?
- Don't act like you didn't understand my question. Either all the men of Eldarya are gods in bed, or you clearly have a lot of experience in that regard, I said mischievously. So which of the two is the correct answer ?
An amused and seductive smile stretched his fine features. He clearly knew how to play to his strengths, I was sure of that.
- I'm not sure you really want to know.
- So I conclude that you have known many women.
His hand started to run along my hip, unconsciously playing with his ice. He was silent for several long seconds, so much so that I thought he wasn't going to answer me.
- Before you entered the Crystal, I admit I had a lot of conquests. I was young and fiery, I commanded army battalions. I used to have everyone eating out of my hand everywhere I went. I've never had trouble seducing, so I took advantage of it, he assured me, slightly ill at ease.
Crossing my arms over his chest, I rested my chin there while watching him.
- And during the last seven years ?
His jaw twitched imperceptibly before he answered, his eyes shifting :
- I saw nobody.
I raised my eyebrows in amazement.
- Nobody ?
The young man raised an arm before passing his hand behind his head, stalling his turn to better observe me. The fingers of his other hand began to absently play with the long strands of my dark hair.
- When you sacrificed yourself to save this world, I spent all the years that followed trying to lessen the weight of the guilt that crushes me. I don't know if you've ever been told how it all happened...
He paused in order to see any reaction on my face, but I could only raise my eyebrows, now somewhat stressed to hear what was next.
Taking his breath, he then decided to continue.
- When I realized what I had done to my own brother... I surrendered without asking for my rest. I spent a little over a year in prison, but I still feel today that I should have stayed there. When I was banned from attending Valkyon's funeral, I thought I was going to die. It was as if I had finally become fully aware of my actions, and it was unbearable. I thought my heart was going to explode, I couldn't take it, I felt like I was going crazy, he explained to me, anger and despair on his face.
He then added, in a lower tone :
- But locked in there, I often thought of you.
Like a little dog that has just been called, I instinctively raised my head.
- You were thinking of me ? I wondered.
- Who else, silly ? he said in a softer tone, giving me a flick on the forehead. You had sacrificed yourself to save my outbursts of selfishness while I was rotting in jail in a state of post-traumatic stress. How can I not think of you ?
He sighed, preparing to continue. What followed seemed just as difficult for him.
- I didn't think I would come to admit that to you one day, so savor this moment, but I've always been in awe of you.
My eyes widened until they probably soon looked like two saucers. Before I had a chance to say anything, he quickly placed his long fingers on my cheeks, pressing them together in an effort to keep me from making a comment, which didn't bother me only accentuate my desire to smile proudly.
- Don't be too confident either, little human, I regret to tell you that I don't worship you every night either.
My smile widens. "Little human" was what he liked to call me back then, and until recently.
He finally let me go, letting me use my tongue again as I saw fit.
And I didn't mind.
- But you were still in awe, I said casually, lifting my arm to cup my chin in my palm.
When his eyes accompanied the smile that stretched his lips, I felt caressed by his gaze. It was soft and comforting.
Who would have thought that Lance would look at me like that one day ?
I had trouble concentrating on the rest as his expression galvanized me.
- You never let me down, he continued. Even when you knew I was making the worst decisions, you always tried to help me get back on track. I was limited, focused in my dark thoughts, yet when I saw you, I was constantly troubled by your kindness. And knowing that I might have killed you too...it was unbearable, he said, clenching his fists. When they released me, I forbade myself from coming to visit you. First for me, but also because it meant flouting your actions and your person. On the other hand, I haven't spent a single evening without apologizing to you. I saw your warm face every time I closed my eyes, it had become obsessive. Over time, it was your image that freed me from the crises that assailed me. You helped me catch my breath more than once.
I hadn't realized that tears had started to flood my face until Lance came over to dry one of my cheeks with his thumb.
- You've only been on my mind for a little over eight years, so no, I haven't seen a single girl for a long time. And even though I've make it with others in the past, I was just happy to get my shot when I felt like it. It had nothing to do, these moments had no value in my eyes.
When he saw my tears flowing more and more, the dragon gently slid me from his body until we reversed our places. Positioned above me, he went up my thighs on either side of his hips before coming to kiss each furrow left by these drops.
- You're different. It's always been different.
My wet eyes opened again on the empty mattress in front of me.
My fingers dug a little harder into the cold fabric as my heart pounded so hard it made my temples ache. Lying on my bed, I relived that night like a precious memory.
Because that night again, Lance had touched my heart in so many ways.
The young man had surely had to leave very early this morning. Being a Head of Watch must indeed take a lot of work, I had been naïve to believe that he would be lying around in bed with me. Nevertheless, I couldn't help but feel sad, empty even, without his presence by my side.
Rolling onto my back, I now stared at the ceiling before mindlessly raising one arm in the air. I stared blankly at the streaks of light and ice that ran along my outstretched arm in front of me. Wiggling my fingers, my face remained neutral despite the fact that the two magics obeyed my commands, wrapping themselves along my skin in an abstract pattern. The importance of the situation gradually crossed my mind.
How long have I had this ice, exactly ?
It didn't come directly from me, I knew that. However, it was born of my own will, it was undeniable.
Changing position suddenly made me sick. Clasping yet another hand over my mouth, I squint my eyelids hard in an attempt to get rid of this new nausea. When I was finally able to open my eyes again, the clock showed nine in the morning. Whenever it took me, the morning glare of the sun was just beginning to warm the ground.
Knowing full well what awaited me, I got up hastily before putting on panties and a baggy t-shirt, tying my hair in a quick bun. Neither one nor two, I slammed the bathroom door behind my back while squatting with anguish and disgust.
I stayed like that for several minutes, my hands gripping the door with such force that I could have snatched it away. Spitting out my excess saliva, my mouth and throat burned greedily. At this time of the morning, I still had nothing in my stomach, which pushed me thus to vomit a bile which returned me the entrails of it. Breathing heavily, I smoothed the strands that fell over my face with my trembling fingers before wiping my mouth and nose energetically. I then flushed the toilet.
Damn it.
According to the words of the dragon, it was simply not possible, however... When was our first night together ? Eyes glued to my fingers, I counted the number of weeks that had passed.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Soon five.
Instantly, my body froze. No. I had already asked him the question, he had assured me that it wasn't possible and I trusted him.
Placing my hands around my head, I repeated this sentence to myself over and over.
It's not possible, Andraste, it's not possible.
But then...
What about when a dragon consummated a relationship with an aengel ?
Lance had said it himself, he hadn't found anything about the ties between our races. These two having almost entirely disappeared for years, no text mentioning them had been found in the HQ. But, what if the laws of nature of the dragons did not govern any more in contact with the aengels ? What if our races could...
To procreate, together ?
Tears streamed down my cheeks again, both from my thoughts and from the nausea that wouldn't leave me.
A muffled sound pulled me out of my torpor despite myself.
- Andraste, what...
Unexpectedly, two saving hands, surprisingly cold, encircled my forehead and my face. Forcing me to face him, Nevra's face suddenly appeared.
- Nevra, what are you doing here ?
- It is rather I who should ask you this question. What happens to you ?
Pulling back, I pushed his hands away despite my body's protests.
- I'm fine, it was just a little nausea, I tried to reassure him. Maybe I ate something that I couldn't digest.
The empty stomach and contracted, I clung to the bowl to help me recover. As I staggered, the vampire caught me to help hold me up.
- You should rest. Huang Hua wanted to talk to you today, but we'll postpone that.
- No no, you don't have to. It'll pass, don't worry, really.
Nevra had no idea it sounded very much like morning sickness, and I clearly didn't want to share my thoughts with him.
I finally came out of the bathroom staggering like a drunk. When the Shining Chief's Right Arm helped me up onto the bed, I saw such deep concern in his eyes that I instantly blamed myself for constantly being a burden to everyone around me.
Without a word, he leaned over me to pull on my duvet to make me lie down. When he was only inches away from me, I instinctively grabbed his collar to keep him from moving. My gaze remained distant.
- Nevra...
When he met my eyes, I still cracked. With a resolute sigh, I felt him gently wrap his arms around my body, pulling me to him.
- It's going to be okay Andraste, I'm here.
At these words, my fists closed on the fabric of his outfit with force.
Nevra, if Lance was indeed wrong, if this information remained silent...
What will I be able to do ?

Hi! First of all, I just wanted to say that I fell in love with your writing and the way you analyze the characters. Now, there is something that has been on my mind for some time, since I found out that Huang Hua can feel other people's feelings, I just imagine that she found out how Lance started to develop feelings for the Guardian. The secret looks he gives her, the restlessness he feels when she enters.
Hello! Thank you so much for the compliment! ❤
The request wasn’t exactly formatted in the way of the typical ask, so I wasn’t exactly sure if you were requesting this as a hc / scenario or just commenting for a discussion, but since my page is primarily writing requests I can only assume it’s a request lol.
I’m not entirely sure what Huang Hua’s special power exactly is to be honest. Some people say it’s the ability to read souls, or sort of read minds, or emotions, things along those lines. I have a general idea that she can read someone’s inner heart, energy/aura, and true intentions, which sort of combines many of those ideas as well as your ideas in the request, so I’ll be writing with that in mind. I hope you don’t mind! It won’t really have much of a difference on how I write this as the general idea (how it’s used) is the same.
~ Under the cut ~
Huang Hua’s observations as Lance falls in love with Guardienne:
Huang Hua, of course, observed Lance during his years of change at the guard. He certainly did become someone different; wiser, more resilient, more composed. She knew him once before his years of being Ashkore, but if asked, she would say that she would like this new Lance better. His actions have humbled him and made him wiser, and he has a more realistic perspective on life now. She’s not pleased with what he’s done in the past, but she realizes that sometimes someone can be their own worst enemy, and if they rise above that and don’t give in to living their life in self-pity, they can become even greater than they once were and provide greater things than they once could have. It seems like this was one of those cases, so instead of holding his past against him, Huang Hua lets him thrive in his new era and provide what he can for the guard.
However, there was one thing that always bothered Huang Hua about Lance: it was nothing but work with him.
Even prior to being Ashkore, Lance spent very little time to himself. He would take care of himself, of course, but aside from the occasional friends or acquaintances, or the occasional one night stands (I don’t think it’s confirmed that Lance had a lot of one night stands, but looking at Valk’s history we can say it’s probably true), he didn’t really spend much time to himself.
This still holds true in this new era, but Huang Hua understands his reasoning better. Even so, everyone needs a bit of a break sometimes; a time to wind down and de-stress. She’s mentioned this once or twice to him when he seems to be carrying the weight of the guard on his back, and he says he’ll keep it in mind... but never really does anything different.
This changes when Guardienne emerges from the crystal.
Immediately, Huang Hua picks up that Lance is high strung and stressed - although he hides it very well (after all, a soldier shouldn’t be easily visibly stressed out right?) - at her presence... but there’s something else, too. Something... deeper. Admiration? Respect? ... Fear?
And even deeper than that seems to be some other sort of distress... Longing?
This genuinely shocks Huang Hua.
Lance, the destroyer of Eldarya, is scared of Guardienne? Sure she saved the world and put up a good fight, but physically she’s completely out of shape now! A great warrior like him has nothing to fear now!
Except, she’s aware that Lance knows the art of warfare much better than her, and he knows personal things about himself that she doesn’t know, even despite her abilities, so perhaps there’s something she’s overlooking or can’t see.
As leader of the guard - with the ability to learn about some of the most private areas of someone’s life by simply wishing to know - she’s basically promised herself to not use her ability unless necessary.
But Lance being terrified of Guardienne is a valid call for her to use this ability to monitor him, right?
Huang Hua has roughly mastered the art of balancing work and her personal life, so she carries on day to day life with little issues relating to this. She knows how to not let this effect the guard, and knows how to hide it so well that nobody would know that anything is going on, so she allows herself to indulge in the sudden mystery that is Lance and his emotions.
And then she realizes just how deeply Lance feels emotions, and just how influential they can be, and it nearly takes her breath away.
All of the emotions flooding through him at once; the regret, shame, sorrow, anger, and even fear, all have a special place in him. They’re always so consistent, and so overwhelming. For a while, Huang Hua wonders if it’s these emotions that drive him in general.
Yes, this is not the first time she's looked into his inner being to know him better - after all, looking into him is how she knew it was safe to release him back into the guard to train new recruits - but this is the first time since then that she's bothered to truly observe him again, and she's shocked by what is revealed. Huang Hua did not know that Lance still carried the burden of his past actions so heavily upon his heart.
But every once in a while, when Lance and Guardienne aren’t feuding with each other, Huang Hua sees the dark cloud of those horrific emotions clear away, and something... wonderful happens.
Lance holds a tender spot in his heart for Guardienne.
Beyond all of that fear, and anger, and sorrow for everything that’s happened to him and because of him - including what Guardienne went through - is a soft spot for the woman he hurt most.
Huang Hua nearly gets whiplash from the sudden realization.
And then she gets curious, perhaps more curious than she should have been.
How long has that been going on for? Did he feel this way before the final war? Is this another reason why he kidnapped her and ran to Memoria? ... Would he have even have been able to feel this way back then?
Huang Hua has never been more interested in someone else’s relationship drama.
She takes to observing his actions over time, trying to decipher what he does for what reasons, and then finds that when he’s not doing things out of responsibility, he tries to make things a bit easier for Guardienne. He keeps his distance, sure, but if there’s anything subtle that he can do behind the scenes to help her, he typically does so.
On occasion - when Guardienne isn’t paying attention to him - he’ll observe her as Huang Hua observes him. She can’t read his thoughts, but she can at least guess what’s going through his mind by the emotions that flood through him, and a common emotion she’s picked up on is cautious hope. 
Hope for what? That Guardienne will manage to fix a future mistake he fears making on accident? That she’ll someday forgive him, or move past looking at him and always seeing his past actions? That perhaps someday they can actually be close with each other?
As much as Huang Hua understands why Guardienne is so persistent on being cautious about Lance, she can’t help but hope that one day soon she may relax around him and trust him, perhaps even grow closer than just co-workers or friends.
After all, the savior of Eldarya and destroyer of Eldarya in love? That’s a story of impossible odds, tragic stories, and bending the world’s rules that people write legends and stories about! But it’s also a symbol of hope and faith; that if Eldarya’s savior can one day look past the actions of Eldarya’s destroyer and fall in love with him, then who’s to say that anything is in vain? Who’s to say that moving forward alongside one’s past enemy - despite their past wars - is a fate hopeless and filled with inevitable hurt? Their story could be passed down through legends, and teach important stories to future generations. Among that, she would be a good influence on him! She knows how to relax and spend time with friends, and knows how to stand up and fight and hope for the best even in the darkest times. If the sky were to fall in their future, and their loyalty lie with each other, Guardienne’s hope and faith could be the sole driving force for Lance to perform wonderful miracles. He has the strength, stubbornness, and resources to do so, he just needs the faith.
And then Huang Hua realizes he does have hope and faith... but it’s invested in her.
Guardienne - just like for everyone else - is a representation of hope, but in different ways for Lance than with everyone else. He’s aware of the possibility that she may never be able to see past his former actions but he still works hard regardless, and not to impress her or make anything up, but because he knows that that’s what she would want from him, even if she has her doubts about him.
The Phoenix begins to see a side of the Dragon that she’s never seen before, and she doesn’t know if she approves or disapproves.
Lance begins to work even harder in Guardienne’s presence, and this concerns Huang Hua for a while. He works himself hard enough, how is it possible that he can still give more? Doesn’t he ever get stressed? Will this somehow kill him from overworking? And yet, as she continues to observe him, he still manages himself just fine, and now he’s even more driven to protect Eldarya. 
These observations carry on for a long time, and as time continues on, Lance manages to sort out his emotions a bit more, identifying exactly how he feels about Guardienne and learning exactly what pleases her. He does his best to provide what he can for Guardienne, in all aspects of life. However, Huang Hua notices that Lance continues to keep a distance from the Aengel.
This makes her wonder; why is he being so cautious with her? Surely they’ve calmed down to each other by now?
But a small look at how Guardienne is feeling makes her realize why Lance is still keeping away from her; she’s still scared of him, and Lance can sense this.
The Phoenix gains a deeper sense of respect for Lance.
He loves Guardienne, and craves to be closer to her, but notices subtle gestures that she may not even know she does that tell him she still can’t fully accept being around him. Despite his want to be closer, he respects her need for space, and Huang Hua has a feeling that he would keep doing that for the rest of his life if that’s what Guardienne needed. However, even while knowing that she can’t stand to be around him, he still works hard with her in mind.
His loyalty to a woman who can barely stand him nearly makes Huang Hua swoon. This is not a common thing with people, others rarely have this deep of a sense of loyalty to one person - especially someone they hurt who keeps pushing them away; they usually just split up in time - but Lance is firm in his loyalty and persistence for Guardienne.
And then Huang Hua starts to catch him displaying subtle physical signs of his interest. Perhaps he’s decided it’s time to push the boundary? Was he really willing to take the risk of upsetting her?
His eyes will linger on her, no matter where they are, only looking away when he feels as though he’s at risk of being caught. He’ll try and stay physically close to Guardienne when he can, standing close to her side, and on occasion when he leads her somewhere he’ll touch her gently, even if for a moment. He’ll place his hand on her back or shoulder for a few heartbeats, guiding her in the direction they need to head in, and he’ll take her arm softly when he pulls her aside from somewhere to talk to her. Guardienne’s reaction really depends on her mood. If she’s irritated or is feeling threatened, Huang Hua observed, she’ll pull away from him, possibly even snapping back with a blatant statement of “don’t touch me!”. Lance remains calm and collected, but Huang Hua is aware of the jolt of pain that thunders through him when she rejects him, as that same jolt ripples through her as she observes his emotions. However, he never holds it against her, and almost seems to be expecting this sometimes.
On the other hand, every once in a while when Guardienne is having a good moment where she seems to be more trusting of Lance, she’ll allow him to touch her for longer, and Huang Hua could swear she could pick up some sort of... longing, or perhaps disappointment, from her when he pulls away.
And during these times, there’s something that happens between them when they touch. A tension seems to crackle in the air, so thick that Huang Hua is sure that they can see it, and is shocked that no one else can see it. But how could they? No one else has her powers.
This tension is what sparks Huang Hua to become truly invested in their possible relationship. Most of the time Lance and Guardienne don’t seem to know what to make of their relationship, but Huang Hua knows there’s something there that can’t be ignored. Sometimes she finds herself thinking to Guardienne “Oh, kiss him you fool!” when Lance is being particularly tender with her, laying all his tragic emotions bare in front of her as they talk about a harsh topic for him, or when he tells her that he’s glad she talks about important things with him every once in a while, even if it is hard for him. Guardienne didn’t seem to realize that this wasn’t a common thing with Lance; he wouldn’t lie about his emotions, but he was very evasive with talking about his past. To get him to talk openly about his past and have him openly admit his regrets was a rare sight - not because he didn’t like to admit his regrets, but because he felt it wasn’t relevant anymore. It was seven years ago, and he had clearly changed since. He regretted his actions, he wished it never turned out this way, he tries to keep it from repeating in the future; what more needed to be said about the subject?
In this time, Huang Hua begins to realize just how deep his emotions for her run.
Lance had a respect for Guardienne, for every part of her, even when she screwed up a bit or caused a bit of chaos, even if he was angry with her. He admired her stubbornness and diligence at defending the guard and Eldarya, and her optimism even in the darkest hours always had a tendency to shake him to his core and snap some sense back into him. Huang Hua began to notice that his emotions on him pursuing her reflected her emotions during dark hours of their story; it wasn’t over until it was over, and as long as there was a possibility that something could change for the better, that possibility should be sought after.
The Phoenix begins to understand why Miiko once had such intense feelings for the Ice Dragon. Even though so many things have happened to him and because of him, he refuses to be held back or muted. He still allows himself to be who he is at heart, and doesn’t care if others like his personality or not. He had confidence in himself, even after the terrible things he’s done. Lance knew very well the extent of his abilities, and was aware that the most important thing about those abilities were how they were used. He had committed atrocities, sure, but he was confident in himself now because he knows he’s not using his strengths for wrong anymore. He has chosen to fight for good, he can see clearly now, and his loyalties lie with the guard, and, overall, with Guardienne.
However, Huang Hua picks up another emotion as she observes Lance over time, and she’s unsure of if it comes from him, or from herself because of what's beginning to be revealed to her about him.
Some sort of hollow loneliness pierces her chest every once in a while as she watches him. He doesn’t have close friends, he doesn’t pursue any other women, and he doesn’t allow himself much time to relax. Lance is a ghost that drifts around the guard, searching for some true place not within the responsibilities, but within the people he protects.
His past makes him hard to relate to, his perception vastly differs from most faeries, and his emotions are a deep well of running water, constantly shifting and redesigning who he is in any given moment, and yet he strives to find his own place within the guard, not as the Leader of Obsidian, but as Lance; the Ice Dragon, the man, the deep ocean of emotions and history who may very well never find a home among a people he can truly call his. Still he remains the same person inside, but always he is adjusting for the outside world, and he had yet to find someone who would risk unraveling his constant adapting to truly know the man underneath.
But everyday he rises to that challenge, brushing off the echoing thought that perhaps he doesn’t belong among these people - that perhaps he may never find peace here at the guard - because he knows he’s best fit for this responsibility. He can protect these faeries better than anyone else could, and his morals lie first with that, and second with his own fantasies.
Even so, Huang Hua doesn’t miss the hollow echo in Lance’s soul as he watches the guard celebrate, or witnesses close friends embrace each other and confide in each other, and she realizes that Lance doesn’t truly feel at peace here, not at all - not among the people who he’s betrayed and become an outcast from. He feels no peace at all among these people, they are not his people... but perhaps, when he looks at her - Guardienne - within her hope he finds peace, and someday, perhaps, he may find peace, a home, within her arms. 
Was it possible that, even as Ashkore, he felt he felt he could find solace within her? Some opening within the dark clouds that overshadowed his existence for him to strive towards?
Did Lance believe that Guardienne made him a better man, even more so than he already is?
By mere chance Huang Hua managed to piece together everything she knew of Lance and his relationship to Guardienne, and she came to realize that there was something between them for a long time. It was deep, and complicated, and was never able to be pursued until now. The Dragon’s emotions for Guardienne ran deeper than any of Eldarya’s oceans, farther than the furthest mapped points, and was purer than even the Aengel’s powers. 
Lance was truly in love with her. Not her powers, not her history, he fell in love with a woman who moved something within him that no one has ever touched before.
The Phoenix almost begins to feel guilty over time.
There was something there for a long time. Did Guardienne know this? Did she need a wake up call in order to realize what was happening before her? Was Huang Hua supposed to intervene and help get their relationship going?
If only she knew...
I shouldn’t interfere with this, Lance would feel violated and Guardienne wouldn’t trust me ever again...
But isn’t it a shame to let them possibly waste their life away not telling each other how they feel, or giving this a chance?
Stress eventually invades Huang Hua throughout her days, even when she's not around Lance and Guardienne. The Dragon and the Aengel, in time, grow ever closer, ever more comfortable with each other, and may even be expressing signs of interest for each other! But no one is doing anything about it!
But no one can see the deep roots of their feelings like Huang Hua can, and she's nearly certain that Lance and Guardienne will continue to tip toe around each other in a fearful dance of figuring out where they fit into each other's lives, never daring to test deeper waters in fear of hurting the other and sparking off another bout of painful emotions that may haunt them, and the guard, for years.
It's very possible that their relationship could change the guard and Eldarya - positively - forever, so doesn't this give Huang Hua some right to try and push them together? But romantic relationships are so personal, especially ones as special as this. A unique relationship like theirs shouldn't be interfered with, it will bloom in time if given the right opportunity... but what if Huang Hua can create the right opportunity!? But that's still interfering in their relationship!
Without even knowing, the emotional toll of observing and pondering over Lance and Guardienne's relationship does begin to take effect on her, and Huang Hua's own partner, Ewelein, is the first to notice and call it out.
The leader of the guard then needed to decide if she was willing to indulge her partner, someone completely unrelated to the matter, in her almost stalker-like tendencies of observing the simmering relationship between the guard's resident Dragon and Aengel.
Eventually she breaks and admits to the Elf that she's been observing the inner worlds of Lance and Guardienne as of late, and has realized just how much of a mistake and a blessing it's been.
The first thing Ewelein jumps to is the fact that it's an invasion of privacy, something that - of everyone in the guard - the leader especially should not be partaking in. Huang Hua doesn't really fight back on that idea; she knows it was inappropriate, she should have just approached Lance and asked if he was alright.
"But of course he would say that he's alright! Maybe a bit unsettled, but come on, at the end of the day nothing shakes him for long, and to him that translates to he's alright!"
Eventually its clear to Ewelein that regardless of how Huang Hua came to be in this position, she's trapped in it now, and feels very passionately about the possible romance brewing within the guard, to the point where it truly is stressing her in possibly unhealthy ways.
Ewelein does her best to comfort Huang Hua as she spills everything that's been revealed to her, starting from the beginning of when Lance and Guardienne were still fearful of each other, to the most current moments of when they've been relying on each other, talking civilly, and even possibly shyly flirting. The Elf is quiet and attentive all throughout, knowing that - even as she's surprised in many ways as well by the things time has revealed about Lance and Guardienne - her shock and emotions couldn't begin to rival what Huang Hua has been feeling for the past endless days that she's been observing them.
“I can’t believe it! This is love that stories are written about, that changes worlds and changes people. And he’s hiding it so easily!”
"But would it be right of you to intervene? This is their story, not yours."
"I know, but couldn't this be good for the guard, too? And possibly even Eldarya? And as the leader of the guard, shouldn't I try and do what I think could benefit us?"
"You first started observing Lance under the excuse that it was for professional reasons, to make sure that he was alright to remain in power and carry out his responsibilities despite her presence, but we both know you did it for selfish reasons, too. You were curious as to why Lance felt what he did about her, and now you have your answer. However, you kept observing them after that, even going as far as reading into Guardienne's responses to Lance. Is that professional at all? And instead of invading her privacy, don't you think she would have told you the truth of her fearful emotions for Lance if you asked her heart to heart?"
Huang Hua lowered her head and avoided her gaze.
"You've gotten your professional answers and now you've seen into a very private portion of two people's lives. None of this is professional anymore, so you can't act professionally on it. You need to treat this as what it is; intimate, personal, and something that should be respected, not exploited. I know it would make sense to try and get this to help the guard, but really, there is no guarantee of that. What if they got together and then broke up a while after? What would the message be then, especially if it were known that you set them up together? My advice is to stay back and let this develop in time. Sometimes when I'm with a patient there is nothing I can do for them, sometimes leaving the body alone to heal itself is the best thing to do. I think this is a case where that rule should be applied. The best thing you can do is let them figure out their relationship in time. You can support them, but do not influence them."
Huang Hua knows Ewelein is right, and forever appreciates her partner listening to her thoughts. If Lance and Guardienne's relationship were to be true, they needed to figure out what they meant to each other in their own time.
So Huang Hua follows the Elf's advice. She bites her tongue and hides the fact that she’s witnessed almost every moment of him falling in love with Guardienne, vigilantly awaiting the day where Lance decided to emerge from the dark and shake the guard’s history for a second time.
Goodness this took a while to write, but I'm very pleased with the results! I think I got a good idea of Huang Hua's reaction and how her reaction developed in time in response to Lance and Guardienne growing closer, especially since I don't think her reaction would begin and end within one day of realizing what was going on.
Thanks for asking!

Meet my Guardians :) [part 1?]
I have been playing Eldarya ever since I was 14. For the past few years, I had been reading the story religiously, mixing in headcanons to fill plot-holes, and  fleshing out Erika until she became something entirely different. 
Her character soon split into my three mains, all of whom I will introduce to you all in this post! In my Eldarya AU, they all exist in the same universe, and the three of them play crucial roles in the Oracle’s prophecy. I will develop them more as time goes by hmhm
1-Monnika
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Monnika Defreine (she/her)
Birth date: 14th November  [  ♏︎  ]
Age: 22
Species: Faelienne (Aengel+Human)
MBTI: INFP
Guard: Absynthe Guard
Familiar: Lillith (Bâkhrâhell)
LI: Leiftan (both in TO and in ANE)
Occupation in the Guard of Eel: She has taken on the role of a teacher for many children inside the H.Q’s walls. She specializes in lyrical poetry and composition. Whenever she is free from her teaching job, she adventures out into the forest to collect ingredients for ointments and potion spells. 
Sub-occupation: Trained alchemist, Oracle visualizer. Monnika has frequent premonitory dreams and visions featuring the Oracle, but she cannot understand them nor speak in their tongue. Her visual communication with the Oracle is important regardless, and she’s the most attached to it.  
Weapon of choice: Sword
Pros: Forgiving, educated, compassionate, patient, reliable. 
Cons: A push-over, easily biased, indecisive, self-victimizing, very edgy.
Monnika follows the more “canon Erika” path. She is the only one of the main three to have come from Earth through the portal we see at the beginning of the game. She is also the only one to retain an element of Aengel blood, albeit stronger than Erika’s. The option was ruled out for canon Erika, but Monnika is indeed adopted and a faelienne. She’s aware of her adoption but does not know anything else about her background, nor has she cared to know.
In her childhood, she was often reported to affect nearby light and energy sources. Her parents believed her to simply be sensitive to electromagnetic fields. This explanation is usually given to spiritual mediums: The energy they accumulate is said to be what causes paranormal phenomena around them. 
Once she crossed the portal into Eldarya, she began regulating her Maana, and her powers started manifesting more. The eventual blood transfusion and ‘soul-tethering’ with Leiftan jumpstarted a physical transformation, leaving her stuck out of her human disguise. Now, do not let her edgy appearance fool you: she is an Aengel. 
Monnika's form is inspired by traditional Seraphims— that is, ominous balls of eyes and feathers. Her blood is ancient, and her outside reflects it:  Upon transforming, all of her grows in size monstrously. She prostrates, back heavy with wings, as blazing white light fills her sockets. Her spindly fingers dig into the soil, like the feeble limbs of a black widow spider. She is one with the earth her mother bore her from; in her presence, one feels as though judgment is neigh.
There are no reasons to fear her, though, for she is kind and reserved. Monnika finds joy in tranquility and avoids company most of the time. After her initial transformation, she grew more distant, ashamed of her new condition. Her human blood keeps her from smoothly regulating her powers, so she is stuck in her angel form from the first time it occurs to the end of the War for Eldarya, before the 7-year coma. With training, she is finally able to change back to a more human disguise. 
Leiftan and Monnika are, indeed, soulmates. She always felt herself gravitate towards him and followed this attraction without remorse. Her alliance stands with Leiftan and with Leiftan only, which made her position in TO quite complicated. Her lover's crimes were heinous, but her eagerness to build bridges between them again kept her from understanding the seriousness of it all. After their coma, her spirit and trust are broken by Leiftan's distance. She's then left to pine from afar, desperately trying to comprehend how she's supposed to live with half a heart.  
2-Astraea
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Astraea Varma (she/her)
Birth date:  5th March [ ♓︎ ]
Age: 24
Species: Euryhalin nomadic mermaid
MBTI: ISFJ
Guard: Obsidian Guard
Familiar: Thetis (Blobbiathan)
LI: Valkyon (TO) & Mathieu (ANE) 
Occupation in the Guard of Eel: Unwilling to find herself (or her peers) wounded and helpless in the midst of battle, she started working as a nurse under the protection of Ewelein. Her eagerness to learn and help others soon turned her into a sponge for medical knowledge.
Sub-occupation: Obsidian infantry soldier, Crystal fragment detector. Astraea can easily sense the presence of crystal fragments, corrupted or not. She can easily follow them to where they are, as if they left a visible trail. 
Weapon of choice: Hammer or enchanted fists. 
Pros: law-abiding, empathetic, just, optimistic, fun to be around. 
Cons: Inflexible, holds grudges, bad loser, stubborn, quick to judge.  
Astraea washed up on a small stream that crosses the forest of Eel. She was found by Ykhar and Alajéa on the noon of the same day that Monnika appeared in the Crystal Room. Astraea had no recollection of her journey upon waking up beside the fact that she was looking for something significant. She made allusions to it being noted down in her journals, all of which she lost in the last half of her trip. 
She comes from a clan of Euryhalin nomadic mermaids, aquatic creatures who can travel both through rivers and oceans according to migratory seasons. These migration patterns are marked by the moon and the stars, so these mermaids are essentially nocturnal. This is similar (if not the same, even) to the structure and tradition of Alajéa and her sister Colaïa’s clan. The likeness between Alajéa and Astraea’s experiences will eventually strengthen the bond between them, and make them grow closer than ever— despite the initial moments of sourness. The only thing that could throw a spanner in the works is Astraea's distaste for Karenn, Alajéa's best friend. The breach between them is no different in ANE, as Karenn's overall demeanor is quick to make Astraea's blood boil.
Despite being an Obsidian, Astraea fears conflict and very much dislikes harming others. She is not one to await battle with a smile, nor is she an outstanding warrior by herself. Nevertheless, it is her wit, perseverance, and fairness that landed her on that guard. Moments of doubt, like passing mists, may have clouded her self-perception; She may have broken down many times but always stood up again to dedicate more effort to her cause. She fights when necessary, using her knowledge in enchantments to gather up fists of rocks as her weapons.
Incredibly passionate about justice and discipline, Astraea held the Obsidian chief Valkyon in high regard. He became one of her confidants in the tortuous search for her memories; then, a partner to stand by as the world caved in. After the War and the 7-year coma, Astraea withdrew into isolation, grieving over the loss of her lover and mentor. The cherry tree that once was Valkyon’s shelter is now Astraea’s place of reflection— a deep, melancholic pondering only Mathieu, a new friend, and Sonzaishinai, an old friend, can get her out of. 
3)Sonzaishinai
Tumblr media
Name: Hélène “Sonzaishinai” Müller(she/her)
Birth date:  20th May [ ♊︎ ]
Age: 25
Species: Nocturnal fae (moth variant)
MBTI: ENTP
Guard: Shadow Guard
Familiar: Skade (Owlett)
LI: Nevra (TO) & Lance (ANE)
Occupation in the Guard of Eel:  Hélène had always shown a questionable interest in the archives of the H.Q. When Ykhar offered her to work as an adjoined archive librarian, she could not pass it up. She knows the catalogue by heart and has gathered a bunch of...information that may be of use to her. 
Sub-occupation: Master archer, Oracle interpreter. Sonzaishinai has auditory hallucinations featuring the Oracle. She is able to understand her tongue and speak in the Ancient tongue of Eel, thus being able to interpret many crucial pieces of information. 
Weapon of choice: Bow and arrow.
Pros: Diplomatic, humorous, witty, loyal, affectionate. 
Cons: Hides information, violent under stress, impulsive, patronizing. 
Sonzaishinai was brought to the H.Q disheveled and delirious by a group of local Purreko merchants. They had accused her of theft (bread? a dragon tear? so they said), and she was thrown into a cell pre-emptively. Nevertheless, her worn-down state and the lack of evidence ended the trial period rather quickly. For lack of planning and information about her, she was kept in jail for an extra day. Sonzaishinai was in prison at the same time as Monnika. The 'masked man' freed both, and the girls parted ways at the Hall of Doors. 
As a disoriented newcomer, Sonzaishinai was granted shelter. She was allowed three days to recover and decide on her fate. She would either hit the road and return to her homeland or commit to becoming a productive citizen of Eel— by settling and supporting local markets, or joining the staff. Her affairs were thoroughly searched, and nothing was found but a couple notebooks filled with inscriptions in an alphabet unknown. Under questioning, Sonzaishinai soon proved to be, somehow, proficient in languages galore, many of them forgotten and unused. 
She soon joined the same recruit program as Monnika and Astraea...not without the Guard's persuasion, of course. There, Sonzaishinai and Astraea grew close beyond belief. They learned to lean on each other, bound by laughter and blind trust. Sonzaishinai considers Astraea a sister and does not hesitate to call her so— while Astraea always goes to Sonzaishinai for guidance. In ANE's weapon giving ceremony, Hélène chooses to call her new bow (it is Monnika who gets the sword) "Astraea", for she believes the younger mermaid to be her protection and good luck charm.
The nickname "Sonzai Shinai" was given to her by a guard colleague from the Jade Coast. It is a verbal expression of Japanese origin, meaning "there is not", "it does not exist". The culprit behind Hélène's telling nickname is no other than her silence: One can barely hear her arrive, and she always seems to appear as suddenly as she fades away. With time, she fully adopted the nickname, and nobody really calls her Hélène anymore—with rare exceptions.
Nocturnal faes are beings as mysterious and charming as they are dangerous. Most of them present themselves as delicate young women, who seem far too attractive or even stuck in time, never aging.  Behind their lips, however, hide sharp teeth. They are carnivorous and oftentimes conniving, some even venomous, just like the habitats or plants they frequent. It depends on the individual, of course, but they do not have the best reputation around. Whatever they really are, it is not advisable to seal deals with them. They always have a trick up their sleeve.
Although Hélène can be 100% trusted if you are her ally, she does tend to keep many things a secret. It was her that contacted Lance in TO, never telling Miiko and even asking him to take her along. She built a sense of trust between them that allowed Lance to feel comfortable enough to kidnap her in particular, hoping she'd be the one to understand his goals the most. He'd never thought that she'd know as much as him and that she'd been using him to get new leads the entire time. Despite it all, they were always capable of dialogue, which threatens to come back in an incredibly mentally stimulating way upon their new meeting. 
Regarding Nevra, Sonzaishinai had always felt a strong, nurturing love towards him. He'd proven to be an ambitious brat with too big of an ego one too many times, but his light-heartedness and genuine attachment got to her rather quickly. Upon waking up after the 7-year coma, she did not recognize the moody and regretful man before her. He'd promised to love her forever, but now she stood alone spiteful, facing empty words. Despite their falling out, she will always have a soft spot for him and won't doubt to put herself in harm's way for him.
