"You guys are lucky that you're not as unlucky as this bunch, especially the one with the big… um…missteps. But you don't know what to hide behind individuals like them"

Dark Mage Callum?

Have you noticed how Callum is only able to understand/unlock an Arcanum after he uses dark magic?

Maybe humans are still not able to really use magic by themselves...

Little Moments 3.0

Previous ficlet

She whimpers, struggling to keep control of her anxiety. Another rolling wave, the boat listing frighteningly to the side, then suddenly correcting. Gasping, she clutches at the rough wood of the hull, pushing backward to try and stop herself sliding around. She glimpses at the churning ocean as the ship corrects, the water almost black and terrifyingly opaque.

“How you feeling?”

Looking up, she finds Callum wincing at her from the top of the stairs. He’s holding on tight too but not with the white knuckle desperation she’s utilising in a vain bid to remain in place.

“Oh you know…” She closes her eyes as the boat pitches and heaves again, her stomach following suit. “Living the dream.”

He snorts softly, sitting on the lower steps beside her. “It’s a pity Zubeia couldn’t fly us across.”

“Who’d had thought being Queen of Xadia would make you busy, eh?” Leaning her head back against the hull, she smiles softly at him, appreciating his attempts at distraction.

It reminds her of their first boat trip together. Back when they barely knew each other. He’d tried to comfort her then too. Looking back, she now knows that was the beginning of the stirring of feelings for him.

It’s almost embarrassing how quickly she developed a crush on him, but as he watches her now, his concern once again obvious she feels the familiar flutters, despite the increasingly distracting sea sickness.

And she feels another wave of nausea that has nothing to do with the pitching ship. This sickness is mixed with shame and the bitter sting of regret. It’s been a familiar companion of hers these past two years. A physical manifestation of the guilt for lying to him, for staying away for so long... returning with nothing but empty hands.

“Yeah.” His eyes wander around the ship and she assumes he’s getting ready to move on.

She tries not to take it personally. She’s not exactly great company right now and while things are getting steadily less weird between them, he still hasn’t really being seeking her out during their infrequent down time.

And, for once, she thinks she'd prefer he left her alone. She’s not exactly excited at the idea of him seeing her throw up, as petty as that feels.

Sighing, she wipes her brow. “Zubeia should really take a leaf out of Ez’s book. Go on more adventures.” She leaves her comments closed. Allowing him to nod and continue on his way to wherever he was going when he happened upon the pathetic mess she is, hiding from everyone else.

Callum laughs quietly at her and her stomach does a flip that has nothing to do with the rocking ship... and then it lurches in a way that has everything to do with it. Scrambling, she gets to her feet, heaving over the side.

She cringes with embarrassment, wishing so much Callum wasn’t here to see her like this. The salty breeze whips around her, and coupled with her violent retching, her hair comes loose of her bun, adding to her discomfort. She attempts to catch the hair swirling around her face, but the boat pitches again and she grabs the rail to stop herself from falling over board.

Before she can react, Callum is by her side. He gathers her hair, pulling it back from her face. She glances at him briefly, then turns back to the side as her stomach lurches again. It takes a few minutes for her nausea to subside and Callum holds her hair the entire time. His other hand is rubbing gentle circles across her back, giving her butterflies in her stomach that are really not helping with how unsteady she feels.

Yet she has no intention to ask him to stop.

After a few minutes, she takes a deep breath, glancing at him to indicate she’s ready to sit down.

Gently, Callum lets her hair go, stepping back a little. “You okay?”

She pouts, slumping down the side and rubbing her hands over her face. “I guess.” Looking at him from between her fingers, she sighs. “Sorry. I know it’s gross. You don’t need to hang around. I’ll be okay.”

Callum shrugs, sitting beside her this time. “You want water or anything?”

“I’ve got some.” She pulls her water skin from beside her and takes a small sip.

“When did you last eat?”

She turns up her nose, the idea of food almost enough to turn her stomach again. “I’m okay.”

“You should have something.” He insists. “Here.” He pulls a piece of fruit from his backpack and offers it to her.

“I can’t.” She can barely look at it, the very thought of food almost enough to set her off again.

Callum begins to peal the fruit, and she finds herself watching him, not having anything else to do. He selects a segment and draws a rune on it, then whispers a trigger word. “Aspiro Frigis.” Exhaling quickly and sharply on the segment, he inspects it for a moment, then presents it to her. “Try it.” He insists when she grimaces at his offering.

She frowns, really not wanting anything but not wanting to disappoint him. Taking the frozen fruit from him she reluctantly pops it in her mouth, sighing a moment later. It does feel good. Icy cold and subtly flavoured. Soothing on her upset stomach. “Oh.” She sighs, leaning her head back against the ship.

Callum flushes a little, continuing to peal the fruit. “Soren had some bad cheese at the mid-summer festival last year. This was the only thing that got him through it.”

“Gross.” She snorts, continuing to suck on the piece of fruit.

“Yeah, I wasn’t quite this excited to nurse him.” He says seemingly without thinking but appears to realise what he said a moment later when his cheeks go bright red.

She feels herself flush too, heart skipping a beat at the prospect he wants to help her feel better, even though she’s disgusting and throwing up. Watching him out of the corner of her eye, she sucks on the frozen fruit, relaxing a little despite the constantly shifting boat.

“Thanks Callum.” She smiles at him, hoping she doesn’t look as awful as she feels.

He smiles softly at her, nodding in acknowledgement. “No problem, Rayla.”

I know we’re all super excited to have Nyx back so that she can play love doctor and bring Rayllum back together again, but one of the biggest questions I have is how will Zym react to seeing her again?

Here’s a screenshot of sleepy Rayllum and one feral baby 🤣

[madethisjusttobrowse]

Elves get married with cuffs on their horns and humans with rings on their fingers. But Rayla has only four fingers and Callum doesn't have horns.

So how would ya'll feel about Rayla having traditional horn cuffs and also two rings on the tips of her horns that match the rings Callum is wearing, and Callum also has two wrist cuffs that match Ralya's horn cuffs?

[apogean-tides]

Runaan: Your very existence is confusing to me. Ralya: How is it confusing? Runaan: Your presence is annoying but the thought of anything bad happening to you makes me want to murder people.

[1lovepeace]

With the 2 year time skip confirm, while I'm really excited to see what has happened with all these characters, it's already breaking and shattering my heart. I'm not ready for more heartbreak

Soren and Claudia torn and broken apart for 2 years

Callum emotionally struggling and socially deprived after Rayla left in TTM

Ralya devastatingly heartbroken, socially isolated and alone for 2 years

Ethari being alone and emotionally and mentally struggling with the grief, guilt and regret over losing his family

Runaan, Lain and Tiadrin trapped and caged in their coins for 2 years

Ezran running his kingdom and being king for 2 years

What has Aaravos been up too and what does he want

Why must the writers continue being the hammer of heartbreak. 💔💔💔

I’m excited for Dragon Prince S4 but my big hope is plz don’t break up Callum and Ralya something silly or seperation angst or thing like that.

[vinthetiefling]

I secretly ship Soren and Ralya. There, I said it. I don’t care if I’m wrong.
