[ID: A digital painting of Maelgwyn in front of a black background, backlit with a yellow light. He is a man with freckled brown skin, curly golden hair, and electric blue eyes. He is holding a golden full face mask in front of his nose and mouth. He wears a golden gauntlet with sharp black details on the fingertips and knuckles, gray armor, and a dull orange sash. /end ID]
[ID: 1. A drawing of Clementine Kesh, a pale woman with short blonde hair in front of a dark brown background. She is frowning and leaning her head on her hand. She wars a white top with slashed shoulders.
2. A drawing of Adelaide, a woman with dark skin and short hair, wearing a white sleeveless dress, pearl jewelry, and a sunhat lounging in front of a bright teal background.
3. A drawing of Maelgwyn, a man with curly blond hair and freckled, tan skin, holding a golden mask in front of his mouth with a gauntleted hand. He is glaring at the viewer, his eyes a bright pink. He wears armor and an orange sash.
4. A drawing of Hadrian, a man with dark brown skin and short black hair, in front of an orange background with a cream circle. He is looking to the left, and he plays with a ring on a chain around his neck. He wears a tan colored shirt. /end ID]
[ID: Three digital bust portraits. The first is of Adaire, a woman with pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair in a braid. She wears a snood cap and a blue capelet. The text to the right of her reads “Pathetic.” The second is of Charter, a woman with large elf ears, freckled light brown skin, and short brown hair. She wears a yellow top. The third is of Maelgwyn, a man with wavy blonde hair, freckled brown skin, and blue eyes. He wears a greyish purple scarf and a dark blue shirt. /end ID]
I’m pretty sure this is like 90% impossible in the canon but doing a drawing like “what would be the most painful scenario” was a great deal of fun! Spoilery details below!
I do just like the idea of Castille guarding Samothes 2.0 who is sorta different from the original Samothes but still definitely no longer Maelgwyn. Castille had just started to remember her old self through her connection to Maelgwyn and so losing him means that she sorta loses herself too :’D
The partnership of Maelgwyn and the mage Charter Castille just becomes Samothes and his pala-din.
