can we please discuss how when callum tells nyx he's a human mage her immediate perception isn't of an evil dark mage but instead a fucking magician. "i've seen human magic. fake ropes, false doors, birds and rabbits stuffed into clothing" LIKE OF FUCKING COURSE SHE CAN EXCUSE HARVESTING MAGICAL LIFE BUT DRAWS THE LINE AT STREET MAGICIANS

Who is Rayla talking to?
We’ve all been blessed with the first peeks at season 5 of the dragon prince, which included this above pic right here.
Now what do we see?
Raylas kneeling in front of something or someone and smirking (with Stella matching her cuddle mamas look).
Zym is giving this something or someone the stink-eye.
Callum is looking at Ezran with a look that is doubtful at best, and Ezran is matching that look with even more doubtfulness.
And Soren doesn’t seem to have much of a reaction to whatever is happening here.
What does this tell us?
What this shows us is that whatever or WHOever Rayla is talking to is
Distrusted by Callum, enough so that Ezran distrusts them as well
Disliked by Zym, enough so that he’s giving this person the stinky eye instead of looking elsewhere
Unknown to Soren, which is why he’s looking to Callum and Ezran for a reaction
Someone Rayla would enjoy giving some sass to
Who do we know that matches all of these criteria? It’s someone that at least Rayla, Callum and Zym have met before, so likely a character from season two or three.
Another clue to who it might be is to see where they are
It’s cloudy, that’s for sure.
In the background, right in between Callum and Ezrans heads, you can see some wooden construct with a rope on it.
Now, I’ve heard some people refer to this as a gallows, and that they must be interrupting an execution or something. But if you look real closely, you are just about able to see not just a rope, but a wheel attached to the wooden construct.
So a rope on a wheel on a wooden construct, with a grey cloudy sky as a backdrop. You know where you’d have a grey cloudy sky?
At sea, during a storm
We already know that they must be going to sea this season, because another one of the sneak peek images shows Ezran in front of a stormy ocean while it rains, and we saw them on a boat in the first teaser poster for season 5
But there was something else that we saw on that poster. And that was
Nyx, the criminal skywing elf from season 3
For those who don’t remember:
Nyx was the elf who intercepted the Lighthawk arrow with the letter that Ethari sent to the dragon queen, to inform her of Zym being alive.
She’s also the one who abandoned Callum and Rayla at the midnight dessert oasis, which is probably a good reason why Callum would distrust her
She also tried to kidnap Zym, which would make it likely that Zym dislikes her
And yet, after causing all that trouble (which includes the part where she’s basically the reason one of Raylas mounts, and Runaans dog pet moonstrider DIED), Rayla saves her life, which probably means Rayla might feel entitled to being a bit sassy towards Nyx.
And since this all happened while Rayla, Callum and Zym were in Xadia, neither Ezran nor Soren have met her before.
So in conclusion, seeing as that Nyx will be with them anyways (poster), and she’s the only one who fits to all the criteria named above, it seems as though she is the one Rayla is smiling to in that sneak peek image.
Now, why is she talking to Nyx? Might it be because she’s telling Nyx to join the dragon gang on their next endeavor? (In return for having saved her life from the soulfang serpents in season 3)? And if so, why Nyx of all people?
Alas, that may be a theory for another day ;)
But one thing’s for certain: Nyx is making a comeback in season 5, and I for one cannot wait to see her again!
