>>5941546According to what Potter implied, the Unseelie Fey are real sooooo.
I am still putting money on him being Atlantean. Or half, perhaps? Might be why he could have escaped their destruction.
>>5941518Rowena said according to Merlin's memories, he felt himself being ripped apart. Could be one or two of those fragments didn't go to a Founder but slipped out when the Beast cracked the gate and ended up in a living person. Not enough of him to have a consciousness but enough to bestow some power. I like Apollo so that might be cool.
On another note, did Merlin have the ability to speak to or befriend animals? Be cause Arty has Acromantulas bringing her fucking blankets while she is passed out in a forest filled with shit that will murder you and when we were at our house, a squirrel hoped up on her hand, Disney princess style. Looking back, seems that might go a tiny bit beyond just being good with creatures.
>>5941503I was thinking Thanny would work as a feminine diminutive. Not sure about a name associated with one of the big villains in Arthurian myth.
