[quote=@LunarParadox] [@Izurich] I can certainly see Eirwen mentioning Melisande to the Duke. Time-based magic, particularly the ability to hasten or slow effects, seems to have strong potential even as a low-level spell, and that's not even getting into her higher-level abilities. [/quote] Sounds good! In that case, I've written my Relationships section with that in mind: [hider=Mèlisande & Kronos' Relationships] [table][row][cell][center][h3]Mèlisande & Kronos' Relationships[/h3][/center][/cell][/row][row][cell][b][h3]Us[/h3][/b] Melisande to Kronos and Kronos to Melisande. A pair of existences as distinct as oil and water, yet united together through the machinations of the Tearmoon Matriarch.[/cell] [cell][color=2e2c2c]________________________[/color] [color=2e2c2c]________________________[/color] [color=2e2c2c]________________________[/color] [color=b9b5fa][i]"You're the reason I can live, laugh, and love, Kronos, thank you."[/i][/color] [color=f68192][i]"Hmph, tis' a burden forced upon me, however, I shall keep you alive until I can be free from this prison. Woe to all who aims to harm Us."[/i][/color] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][b][h3]Matriarch Jezebel Tearmoon[/h3][/b] The reigning matriarch of the Tearmoon Coven, Melisande's mother by blood, and last but not least, Kronos' abductor. One of the two is obviously more fond of her than the other.

His sheer arcane knowledge and experience made him quite respected in the coven. It's preferable to have him on our side than against.

Or perhaps he can't."[/i][/color] [/cell][/row] [row][cell][b][h3]Court Mage Eirwen Blackthorne[/h3][/b] Court Mage and Advisor to the Wizard Queen, but more importantly, the founder of the Young Society of Magic, providing scholarships to promising students such as herself.

Tearmoon and Odonfield had been neighbors for as long as she knows, long before the reign of either the duke or the matriarch. She prefers if this cordial relationship continue.
