There's not much that could amaze Merlin after the fall of Camelot. He knew he had to stay around Albion to make sure that he was there for Arthur when he rose again, but there was a call of some sort that led him further and further north after a few centuries had passed. It wasn't a voice, per se. More like a curious feeling. Like something had been awakened again. His magic felt it and he followed that feeling until he had made his way up north, past the standing stones and into the most beautiful forest he had ever seen.
He had been greeted by people who called themselves the Northuldra. After assuring them he meant not harm, he was told about the fifth spirit that lived among their people. How she had taken to her role in protecting the enchanted forest far better than anything had before her.
Merlin wandered deeper into the forest, hoping he would meet her. And when she showed herself, he had to make sure his mouth was not on the ground from the shock of how lovely she was in person. Somehow, his memory dredged up his long forgotten courtly manners.
Merlin bowed as he would in formal court.
"Merlin. Of Albion. I'm pleased to make your acquaintence."
no subject
Elsa turns when she hears him approaching, hearing him. Sensing.....something. Something about him. She's not sure she can quite put her finger on it, exactly. She's never actually met another with such abilities.]
I'm Elsa. And -- please, there's no need.... [To bow. She's not royalty any longer, officially. Now Anna has the title and throne and all. Even if Elsa might help advise her a little.] Merlin, that's your name? And you're from Albion.....or, wait, that was Camelot? I think Anna mentioned something about that. I'm afraid I'm not the most quickly informed as I was before, out here now.
[She's still trying to place it. Something about him that draws her attention so. For as powerful as she might be now, she's quite new in interacting with others like her, so of course she might not pick up on it immediately.]
no subject
Yes. Well. It was Camelot. Camelot was a part of Albion but...I think it's England now. Um, it's far to the south. Do you mean Queen Anna of Arendelle? I haven't had the opportunity to go there just yet. I uh...I was...I felt...
[Another embarrassed look. He hadn't really listened to magic in so long that it was strange being in the presence of another magical person.]
I felt a draw. Something...drew me here. And...I uh...
[He keeps getting distracted by her beauty]
no subject
[She explains. As if he didn't already guess from her appearance and posture and all that she had that appearance of royalty still, in spite of having given up her title and crown to her younger sister. Elsa blinks when he says he felt drawn to something here. She had too, heard that voice that called to her.]
You....were drawn here? I was too, I kept hearing this voice.
no subject
Not a voice per se. My magic felt something here and drew me. Here, let me show you.
[He sets his pack down and looks around, trying to figure out what he could show. He holds out his hand and speaks a few words. His eyes glow gold and a small flame appears in the palm of his hand. It floats up and swirls and becomes a small phoenix, flying out toward Elsa.]
no subject
[Was that what it was? She feels something from the other but can't seem to quite place it. Probably because she hasn't encountered anyone else with such abilities before. It's new, to her at least. So she isn't as sure what to expect exactly, tilting her head when he offers to demonstrate. Her blue eyes widen when his glow, when she sees the fire.]
Fire? That's your magic? Mine is more working with ice myself.
no subject
Well...it's not just fire. It's loads of things. I've spent quite a few years learning and practicing, actually.
[He takes a step toward her, wanting to know more.]
Do you...is it just ice? Is your magic centered around ice? Would you mind showing me?
no subject
[If he knows more, perhaps he could even teach her more than she already can do there. It's....liberating. Freeing. To know she isn't really alone. That there is at least one other person out there that understands, that has the same - and more - abilities. Elsa bites her lip, before raising a hand and twirling her other above it to create a miniature, lifeless, version of Olaf and her sister.]
no subject
[He stands in amazement when she shows how she can create snow versions of the snowman he had seen wandering about and the Queen of Arendelle. He swings his rucksack around and digs through it a little bit before pulling out the grimoire within that Gaius had first given him. Merlin approaches her, closer now, and opens it up to show her.]
These are a few spells that I've started with.
[He hadn't met too many others like himself. Or rather, similar to himself since the days of Camelot. And even in those days, most of the ones he had met had malicious intent. Elsa seemed different, natural, a part of the very fabric of nature around her. A different kind of magic that fascinates him.]
no subject
[She hasn't memorized incantations or anything like that. But then, perhaps his magic works differently. If he can do more with it than just working with ice and water like she can with her abilities. Elsa dismisses the miniature snowman and Queen at her palm as she glances to the book, leaning in as he opens it. Her blue eyes are wide as she skims it, as if trying to understand it by osmosis, at a glance.]
So that fire, that's a spell?
no subject
[He flips through a few of them]
Well. Spells. Herbs. Healing. Things like that. But what you do--without the need of saying anything--is incredible! I mean. I've never seen anyone really do that. I...the only thing I can do without really saying anything is just move things. That fire was a spell. It's real fire but it was spell that brought it into existence and put it out of existence again.
no subject
[Granted it isn't something she has really looked at. Elsa has no experience with using magic in that sense of using it to heal. Though hers seems more limited than his, as she glances at the pages of the book with him.]
You can move things?
no subject
Yes. It's the first magic I've ever learnt. It's...I've been able to do it since I was young, born with it.
[His eyes glow golden again and the book lifts out of his hands and floats in air]
Move things. Slow time a little bit. But...that's the natural bit without spoken word. Not as creative as yours, I"m afraid.
no subject
[She notes the change in eye colour, her blue eyes widening at that, before she notes the book is floating. He might consider it simple magic as the first thing he learned to do with it, but it is still incredible to her. Given hers seems much more limited in comparison.]
Maybe not as creative. But still impressive and it sounds like you can do a lot more with your magic than I can with mine. And your eyes.....? Did you know they change colour?
no subject
[He ducks his head a little, rubbing at the back of his neck]
Yes, they...they tend to do that if and when I use magic. It got really difficult when I had to hide it back during Camelot's days.
no subject
[She hadn't visited Camelot herself. Only heard of it. Obviously once she had her coronation and everyone knew about her, it was likely she might have been advised against going there even if she might have wanted to, given Uther's stance on magic. Given that passed down to Arthur because of that history. Elsa can't help but to be sympathetic there, as she glances to him from the book they were holding.]
I tried to conceal it. Was so afraid for years that I'd hurt Anna again, or someone else.
no subject
[His face takes a more serious look as Merlin's lips press together into a thin line]
Things were different then. Something happened to Uther to make him fear magic. That's why he set down the law that it would be punishable by death. That includes anyone associated with it.
[He looks at Elsa, hearing her speak about her own fear of hurting her sister]
It's just...difficult to hide it when it's part of who you are, isn't it?
no subject
[And would have meant she would have been killed, if she had lived in Camelot. If she had grown up there instead. Elsa's hand not holding to the book shifts in clutching to her chest, as she glances down to the book, the illustrations and unfamiliar writing, before the blue meets his own eyes amid her blonde hair that falls at her shoulder and a little in her face at the movement.]
It is. The trolls, they made Anna forget. She forgot about my powers for years.
no subject
That also seems a bit extreme - making your own sister forget that you had powers?
[He supposes it was most likely for her safety rather than anything else.]
Did you not have mentors here? To teach you how to use your powers?
no subject
[Anna had. Of course, eventually. She manages a small smile in thanks with him helping with her hair, before she gives a shake of her head. She hadn't had a mentor in terms of dealing with her magic. It was unique. Nobody else could really help her with it.]
No. I had tutors for almost everything else. But my power...nobody else can do what I do. The trolls knew about it, but they were more focused on helping Anna. I eventually figured to control it on my own. Most of the time, anyway.
no subject
What about now? What if I wanted to stay and teach some of this so that you could learn some more?
no subject
[She has no idea how long he might stay for or anything of the sort. Surely wasn't suddenly expecting company, a fellow mage. Let alone said mage to offer to teach her like this. Elsa can't help but to blink, not immediately against the idea at all, but just. Surprised.]
I mean.....I see no reason to decline the offer, but are you sure? Surely you have others. Friends, family, to be staying in the forest with me for however long.
no subject
[He shakes his head]
No, I don't really have any friends or family. I...there was a reason why I was called here. Maybe it's to teach you this. All of this. So that you'd have something to add to the magic you already have. Un...less you don't want to have anyone around.
[His mind reels a little]
I'm...so sorry I--that was presumptuous of me.
