Elder Scrolls Online: Eveline Valencourt

Breton | Daggerfall Covenant | Magicka Warden

Eveline Valencourt harbored grand dreams that soared far beyond the confines of her impoverished upbringing. The daughter of a minor Breton noble and his housemaid, Eveline’s existence was a product of a forbidden affair that was shrouded in secrecy and scandal. Driven by a hunger for power, Eveline’s father deftly navigated political intrigue in his quest for social advancement. Eveline’s mother, however, was raised on tales of romantic, dashing heroes and longed for her own fairy-tale ending.

Cast out by her lover after learning she was with child, Eveline’s mother sought refuge among an ancient order of Druids, finding solace among the people of the forest. Growing up amidst the tranquil beauty of the forest, Eveline found solace in the art of storytelling, weaving tales of daring adventure and dashing heroes to entertain her fellow Druids. Yet, even as she reveled in the magic of her own imagination, Eveline couldn't help but feel the pull of the outside world. Inspired by the tales of bards and troubadours that drifted through the forest like whispers in the wind, Eveline yearned to step onto the grand stage of the world and share her stories with a wider audience. Her longing for the finer things—exquisite dresses, dazzling jewelry, and the devotion of adoring crowds—was not merely a desire for material wealth, but a symbol of her aspirations to transcend her humble beginnings and make her mark upon the world.

Eveline's relentless pursuit of her dreams eventually led her to join a troupe of traveling performers, where her charismatic presence and boundless creativity endeared her to fans far and wide. Under the spotlight, she dazzled with her performances, earning accolades and adoration wherever she roamed. Yet, just as she seemed destined to ascend to ever greater heights, disaster struck with devastating swiftness. Without warning, Eveline found herself stripped of her creative inspiration, her once-vibrant imagination reduced to a barren wasteland devoid of inspiration or passion. Desperate and despondent, she teetered on the brink of despair, her dreams crumbling to dust before her very eyes.

In her darkest hour, fate intervened in the form of a chance encounter with a wandering adventurer whose tales reignited the spark of inspiration within her soul. Reinvigorated and emboldened by newfound purpose, Eveline resolved to set forth on a solitary journey across the vast expanse of Tamriel, determined to seek out new stories and experiences that would reignite the flames of her creativity. Armed with nothing but her indomitable spirit and boundless curiosity, Eveline ventured forth into the unknown, her heart ablaze with the promise of adventure and the tantalizing prospect of discovering the tales that would define her legacy for generations to come.

Eveline Gallo -- Witcher

NAME: Eveline Gallo, The Ermine RACE: Elf (Aen Seidhe) PROFESSION: Thief

Eveline Gallo is an elven acrobat in the Falling Stars' Wandering Circus, specializing in rhythmic gymnastics and tight-rope walking. She is not above a bit of thievery.

To rob a vault, one must force open armor-plated doors and secret away mounds of loot. First and foremost, however, one needs to get inside the building containing said vault. To accomplish this, Geralt could use the help of a certain Eveline Gallo – a circus performer famed through all the North, and who, it seemed, used her considerable talents for less law-abiding purposes as well…

As is often the case in life, Eveline was willing to help, but only in exchange for a favor: the witcher had to save her circus troupe from humiliation. He duly performed the required feat, and the limber elfess then joined the break-in crew.

Eveline Gallo performed as tasked and guided Geralt and his accomplices into the auction house. Yet as soon as the heist stopped going according to plan and Redanian soldiers surrounded the auction house, she shimmied up and out the chimney and was never seen by Geralt again.

Hello :o

I just wanted to say thank you (and also thank crumb) for getting me back into thinking about Karl Heisenberg 24/7.

I really love your artstyle, from the amazing expressions (especially the peeved/angry ones) to the scribbly lineart. As someone that’s trying to learn to draw more digitally, I really like to observe your stuff o.o

Your Moldy Family comics are funny, cozy, sweet and comforting all at the same time, and they made me discover and appreciate Eveline (oh man I love how much of a goth tween she is), and the way you draw Heisenberg (his physicality if that makes sense, his clothes, his hair, his everything) is just *chef’s kiss*.

As a former Greek Mythology child, that AU is so so nice owagh. I love all the monster adaptations/designs, it’s all so clever: I love that Kyril is scaley, hairy AND has wings (which I feel aren’t depicted often nowadays with gorgons), Alina is so majestic, with the black tipped limbs and the blood soaked dress, and the daughters being harpies/sirens(?) is also so perfect.

Idk if you’ve already said it, but what is it about Karl’s character that made him interesting to you?

I hope it makes sense (I’m a bit tired) and thank you again for the excellent food :]

Thank you so much!!!<<<3333

he lives in my head rent free…. his crusty-ass hair and barrel-shaped bod gets me every time

im glad you like my scribbly lineart! I tend to get concerned whether it really looks like anything haha

I miss drawing the mold family but i think my forte has always been fantasy, especially cause i love mythology more than anything. That’s not to say i wont go back to the modern mold family though

For greek au karl i wanted him to look like someone had haphazardly stuck animal parts to him so it’d look deliberately unnatural for him to have a relatively normal human body under all that-

I’m not sure i can fully describe why Karl is so interesting. Surface level, being voiced by Neil Newbon is always a big plus and his face model Joel Hicks is awesome-looking. His character design matches his abilities and personality really well, and speaking of personality, queer-coded villains who make a big show out of everything are always going to be my favourite. His gritty, masculine aesthetic is really inspiring in terms of gender as well. On a deeper level, in spite of all the terrible things he’s done, i find him sympathetic and relatable. After decades spent in a highly dysfunctional family, not living on his own terms, completely alone, I need him to finally be okay and get better for his own sake, with the support of people he trusts. It’s the same reason i love Eveline. Morally dark-grey characters who deserved better and could’ve gotten better with a good support system.

(2/5) Cesar, I just gave him more grey hairs and beard hair that’s all 😭

(3/5) Mark looks WAY DIFFERENT now. His hair is longer and he has spider legs on his back, which I’ve been thinking about for months.

(4/5) Evelin..I gave his a knife hand thingy(her hand is not amputated) for like self defense

(5/5) Ruth didn’t have a big change but her hair is longer

[taylor-titmouse]

truly hope this doesnt sound accusatory and obviously you dont have to answer but what about dubcon/noncon appeals to you? i like dubcon/noncon with male characters but i find it hard to enjoy it if the subject being fucked is female. maybe thats bc im a woman myself. what are your thoughts on this?

choosing to take you in good faith here since you admit to liking a flavor of it yourself. liking something in a form that is totally removed from yourself but not one you could relate to is imo very normal. i don't have thoughts on that in particular but i can talk about why i play in the space of consent the way i do.

mostly i find it appealing in the sense that it's ultimately just dom/sub dynamics made literal within a narrative. i talked a bit of a circle around it in previous essays but i mostly just don't want to deal with the necessaries of consent and pre-discussion and planning when it's much faster to get to the good rough sex if you skip it. like i drew eveline getting gangbanged by goblins because a chick getting gangbanged by goblins is hot, and since i find domination, surrender, and punishment hot, it's hotter if the circumstance is because they "won" and she "lost" and not "they agreed to get together and do this in the woods". then again it's eveline and she'd probably be into that, maybe they did. but in general that's the appeal.

for me it 100% goes back to playing hentai games where your "punishment" for failure was a sexy little loop of your character getting fucked. sure your little avatar might not have "wanted" to get fucked in the fiction of the situation, but she's only getting fucked because you put her in the circumstance, to watch her get fucked. is that not what all fictional porn is, ultimately. putting people in circumstances where sex happens? the chique series and the bad endings of You're a Mage on Monsterfuck Mountain are based entirely on the appeal of that kind of game--you're only in the circumstance to get fucked because you went there. you made a mistake, you "lost", so your little character gets fucked. eveline should have traveled with her dragon husband but didn't, and as a result she got goblin gangbanged. she made a mistake, she "lost".

but other than that, it's essentially just cutting out the middleman of bdsm and going straight to the fantasy existing in the head of the participants. i believe the example i gave in one of my essays was a modern couple pretending to be a dungeon master/prisoner and playing with whips and getting horny, vs an Actual dungeon master whipping an Actual criminal and getting horny. it's the same thing. one just has fewer steps.

and i just like the visual aesthetics of bondage and helplessness and those things go hand in hand

14 for Eveline, or 4 for Jack :3 couldn't choose just one character hehe

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

hmm.. shoutout to pokemon and also @dellonthebell's wonderful bsd x re au!!!!! i love that shit

also putting jack in httyd would be fun too i love dragons

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

this is a very timely ask!! i have a noir au that's evie-centric so lately i've been putting her in like.. these type of fits

+ some sketches of the au under cut :)

my initial one

+ more figuring out designs

her & friends (jake & sherry)

more of her and friends (at the bakers' bed and breakfast!)

jake and sherry's designs!! in this au evie is 15, jake is 17, and sherry is 16 but evie still manages to be the taller one out of all three of them bc she is. so lanky in canon and in this au she does not grow out of that

moore of figuring out her design... i like the mushroom patterns on her coat a lot so those will probably stay. unsure about the bowtie though

also a zoom in of her and sherry

ty for the ask!! :)

It's hard to choose one wip to ask but, may I know about UnTitled Venture: Village Of Shadows (Resident Evil Village)?

This particular WIP is part of my prequel saga for The UnTitledverse, called The UnTitled Ventures saga.

UnTitled Venture: Village Of Shadows is the third installment of the saga and follows the events of Resident Evil Village. It is still early in WIP but I have a rough idea where I want to take it. Though this isn't set in stone, things might change.

Shortly after the events of UnTitled Venture: Evil Residence (canonically Resident Evil Biohazard), 35-year-old Joaquin Lockwood unfortunately drew the short straw in fate between his small family (which only includes Eveline and his dead best friend/partner's daughter, Elise) and the Winters when being forced by the BSAA, Umbrella and his old pals from Taskforce ECHO in relocating.

So he gets sent to Romania with a regular three-year-old and a BOW ten-year-old while Ethan and Mia go to Hungary. So close and yet so far.

Unfortunately Joaquin and Ethan can't continue their vitriolic bromance that started at the Baker's home anymore so they do so long distance. Sometimes they even visit one another.

Fun fact! Joaquin shares the "godparent of Rose" title with Chris Redfield, which is most definitely not due to the lack of either Ethan's or Mia's families being alive or that interested in their married lives.

Anyway, both Joaquin and Ethan are fungi bros, and are very aware of this considering last time Joaquin checked, he saw Ethan die in the Baker's home and proceeded to be killed afterwards so that's more or less a secret they keep from the BSAA and continue to support one another through their fungus troubles (it's like, "you died in the house, I died in the house, Eveline gave us a miraculous recovery... let's tell no one else about this").

Four years later in February 2021, Joaquin is turning 39, Eveline is 14 and Elise is six turning seven in September.

On the drive home from the Winter's house, Joaquin and his kids' car is hit by wild Mother Miranda and stuck in a ditch, knocking Joaquin unconscious and chasing after Eveline as the young teen runs off into the woods with Elise.

Why would Miranda do this? Because Rose is safe in Hungary and Joaquin's got Mold in him, so its only logical that Elise would too right?

By the time Joaquin wakes up, its still snowing, so he crawls out of the wreckage, takes a duffel bag, and follows after the trail... or more he follows the voice of the fungi screaming from within him to go towards the Village that is going to kick his ass for teaching the Romanian Mold his Aussie words.

He'll be able to call Ethan at the most inconvenient times to his own expense and explain the situation he's gotten himself in, and while Ethan goes prepare a drive to Romania while getting Chris, his BSAA team and Taskforce ECHO together to save his brother from another mother, Joaquin goes to search for his girls in the village, and learns empathy, gets chased by wolfman, loses his dominant hand, becomes best buds with the Duke for giving him a neat prosthetic, appreciates the unnecessary and unhelpful aesthetic of having cool shades in a dark snowy climate, is forced to have tea with the Lords and manages to hate someone more than he does Madame Callaghan.

Overall, its a wonderful family experience that no one with more than three braincells should have to go through.

That's all I got.

A 2023 L.G.B.T+ Aesthetic Collection

Day 16 • Lucas Baker is Bisexual!

Day 15 • Day 17

👇🏽 Pride Headcanons Below! 👇🏽

💗•💜•💙

Oh boy, if you thought Jack would come down hard on Zoe for being a lesbian, that would be NOTHING compared to the shit he would do to Lucas. He's already threatening to throw Lucas out of the house for the smallest of things, Lord knows how he would react he found out that Lucas found some men attractive. It's for this reason that absolutely no one knows his sexuality (except for Zoe, who caught him watching gay porn one time and never let him forget it).

Speaking of, I'd LIKE to say that Lucas found out he was bisexual in a really unique and beautiful way (such as him swooning over some southern man from New Orleans and having a forbidden romance like Romeo and Juliet) but nope. It was because PornHub recommended Lucas a video with two guys and two girls in it one time and, because he liked one of female pornstars, he watched it and had to deal with some really uncomfortable feelings afterwards.

As a general rule, Lucas likes women more than men, but he is NOT PICKY. He would honestly take anyone who wanted him (because he knows he'd be the hassle of the relationship and that he'd be damn lucky to end up with someone). He does have a few types though; The overarching themes are people that are lithe/underweight (you know, people Lucas might actually have a chance to beat in a fight if push came to shove) and people that are witty/intelligent (aka someone who won't get offended by his dark humor and who can throw it back at him in an interesting way). Celebrity crushes include Kurt Cobain and Nicole Dollananager.

Internally homophobic. Lucas does NOT like being bisexual and often views it as just one more thing that's wrong with him. He knows that if word got out that he even slightly liked men, the neighbors and townsfolk of Dulvey would tear him limb from limb. He's already on the church's shit list; He doesn't need all his old classmates (who used to bully the shit out of him) to start spreading rumors that Satan fucks him up the ass. Zoe told him once that he's ridiculously paranoid to which Lucas responded with a, "Shut the fuck up Zoe," and locked himself in the barn for almost a week. When he came out, the entire farm was rigged with security cameras and Zoe just shook her head because deep, deep down... She understood his fears because they mirrored her own. The South is not kind to the LGBTQ sometimes...

In a perfect world, with no Eveline and no murderous tendencies, Lucas and Clancy would've be great as a couple. Someone had to fucking say it and I'm not ashamed that it's me ☺️

If Lucas had to pick a song to describe his sexuality, he'd pick: All In the Family by Korn

Tale as old as time. Day 5. Healing

Pairing: Morpheus x FairyReader  

Rating: PG

Words: 2400

Notes: Aesthetic is not mine, but I found it fits

This night I saw that man again. This time he was in a cell. And I supposed I should thank the story Morpheus told me. But I still felt lonely. In the morning I found a long green dress with a long dress train. It was a nice dress. Mother would approve of it. Then I saw a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Morpheus was trying. I hope he felt well. As usual, I heard knocking on the door. I opened the door myself. “Hello, Lucienne”, I said. “Good morning, my lady”, she said. “You looked beautiful as always. Did you sleep well? Do you like your new dress”. “Thank you”, I replied with a smile. “Everything is well. How is lord Morpheus?” “He is better, lady Eveline”, Lucienne replied. “I thought perhaps you want to have breakfast with him?” “I would like to”, I said. “But what about him?” “He doesn’t mind”, she paused and then continues. “I dare to say he enjoys his company. But he doesn’t know how to express his emotions”. “I’m glad to hear it”, I admitted. “Then are you ready to go?” she asked. I nodded and followed her to Morpheus’ room. He was sitting already on the bed and dressed only in some black robe that reminds me of the smoke. I still saw a lot of his white skin. It doesn’t bother me. Some fairies don’t like clothes too. “Good morning”, I smiled, when he looked at me. “How do you feel, lord Morpheus?” “Better”, he replied. “Thank you”. “Will you allow me to check your wound after breakfast?” I asked. “I will”, he replied in his short answers. “Does the Lord of Dreams need to sleep?” I asked when we started our meal. “Not necessary”, he replied. “But I can sleep and rest to regain my strength”. “Do you see dreams or nightmares?” I asked. There came silence. I thought he doesn’t want to answer, but then he speaks. “Sometimes”, he said. “But my subjects wouldn’t bother me on their own will”. “Do you see my dreams?” I asked. “Why do you ask?” he replied. “Some nightmare is bothering you?” “Not a nightmare, no”, I said. “It’s nothing important”. “I can see dreams, but it takes effort to separate alone dream”, Morpheus answered after a minute. “And I try not to watch dreams of those who are close to me”. “Oh, alright”, I answered. “You can tell me if nightmares will bother you”, he said.

“Thank you, lord Morpheus”, I smiled. “You can call me just Morpheus”, he replied. “We are engaged. It would be right”. “Then you can call me Eveline”, I said. “Maybe, if you feel well, you can join me on the walk? Later that day”. “It would be my pleasure”, he almost smiled. He was surprisingly gentle and polite when he wasn’t angry. But I can understand why he was so angry because of his statement. “You are a powerful being”, I admitted. “Can you take off this curse?” “I’ve already tried”, he answered. “Turned out to be I can’t break the curse of…another powerful being”. “Another being?” I asked. “Do you know who cursed you?” “I have my thoughts”, he said carefully. “Tell me”, I said. “Please, I want to help”. “I need to have proof first”, he sighed. “And then I will tell you”. It was reasonable. We can’t accuse other gods or creatures without proof. So I agreed. He relaxed a little. “Do you like my gifts?” Morpheus asked finally. “Flowers and dresses?” I asked and smiled. “Yes, thank you very much”. “I’m glad”, he nodded. “And I promised not t unleash my anger on you. You are not guilty of this curse”. After breakfast, Morpheus apologized and disappeared to work in the Waking world of people. I was left alone again or so I think so. “Hello, princess”, Matthew joined me in the garden. “Hello, Matthew”, I smiled to him. “Your relationship with the boss is better now”, he admitted. “I hope so”, I noticed. “But he can be unpredictable”. “Yes, he is”, the bird chuckled. “We are all grateful that you decided to stay after this accident”. “I can be endangered you”, I sighed. “Boss won’t allow anything bad to happen”, the raven replied. “He can be a Nightmare, but he still has his power”. “That’s good”, I smiled. “I’m glad that he is not injured hard. I wanted to help but I almost made everything worse”. “In your defense, anyone gets scared by a boss’ demeanor”, he admitted. “The ruler of nightmares and all this stuff”. “And a nightmare he became”, I said thoughtfully. “Perhaps, it was what someone was thinking of him. What if he offended someone and that is the repayment?” “Matthew?” I asked, not sure if the raven is still there. “Yeah?” he answered. “Did Morpheus offend someone recently?” I asked. “As far as I know he has a lot of…misunderstandings with a lot of creatures and people”, he replied. “Boss has a difficult character”. “Yes, I noticed that”, I said. “But it won’t make it easier to figure out who is standing behind this curse. And he doesn’t want to tell me about his suspicious”. “He needs time”, said the raven vaguely. “Does the curse have a time limit?” I asked. “I read that sometimes it must be broken during a certain period”. “I heard something about one month”, he replied. “It’s less already”. “One month… and it has been started just before my arrival”, I said. “It’s concerning. I have a bad feeling about it”. “So am I”, Matthew said. “Someone should be offended so much”, I remarked. “What are you going to do now?” he asked.

“I’m going to gather information”, I said, “Gladly, our relation with Morpheus improved. Maybe, he will tell me later what happened”. “So you are not going home”, he admitted. “Not now”, I smiled. “That’s good news”, he said. “Boss will be glad”. “I know”, I admitted.

Later that day I heard knocking at the door when I was reading in my room. Of course, it was Lucienne. I was surprised. “Lord Morpheus said you wanted a walk with him”, he said. “I need to lead you to the throne room to meet him”. “Oh, very well”, I smiled. “Then lead me”. “I’m so glad that you stayed, my lady”, she said. “So I heard”, I nodded. “I’m not my mother. She would leave on the first day and leave him in the Hell”. “Queen Tytania is ruthless”, said Lucienne. “She said that queen should be ruthless”, I replied. “Lord Morpheus also should be ruthless sometimes”, she said. “Without some rules and decisions dreams and nightmares can consume him or the universe will collapse. But he doesn’t like it”. “Really?” I asked. “No, once upon a time he has to finish someone’s life or the universe would die”, Lucienne replied. “He doesn’t want to, he befriended her until he couldn’t buy any more time. Until it was almost too late”. “Oh, that must be terrible”, I sighed. “Yes, it damaged his soul”, she sighed too. “He always does what should be done, but it makes his damage as well”. Finally, we got the throne room. The king of nightmares was already there, waiting. It was weird seeing his scary figure in the light of the day. “I’m ready to fulfill my promise, Eveline”, he said. “I’m glad”, I smiled. “How do you feel? How are your wounds?” “I’ll be fine”, he replied. “Thank you, Lucienne. You can go”. And I heard the footsteps of the librarian. I was no longer afraid of Morpheus. And I wasn’t angry with him. I felt curiosity. “I don’t remember when the last time I show someone the Dreaming was”, he admitted and gave me a hand. I took it and we walked through the castle and to the garden. I want to ask did he show it to his past lovers but changed my mind. “I didn’t think you would want my company when I. In this. Form”, he admitted. “You surprised me, Eveline”. “Yes, my mother always says it too”, I replied. There came silence. I started to think that their relationship wasn’t good. Or they don’t end well at all. “She thinks a kindness is a weakness”, I said. “I can believe it”, he replied. “She would leave me there”. “I’m not here”, I said. “I can see it”, Morpheus replied. “That is why you stay? Is it an act of kindness?” It seemed to me that he was offended by a thought. I didn’t find it offensive, but perhaps he understood wrong. “No”, I said. “I indented to stay unless you want to scare me one more time. But now I know your form and it won’t be easy”. He chuckled. He wasn’t cold anymore.

“You’re fearless, princess”, he noticed. “Good to hear”, I smiled. “I understood that your…outburst of anger on the first day was connected to your statement. But please, don’t shout at me since I’m not the one, who cursed you. I’m trying to help”. “I understand”, he sighed. “I will try. To hold my temper”. “Thank you”, I smiled. “And I will try to help you”. “You can. Perhaps. By staying”, he said suddenly. “Really?” I surprised. “Yes”, he nodded. “I will make my amends. For how I treated you in the begging. There can’t be forgiveness for me”. “I have already forgiven you”, I smiled. “Just don’t repeat this behavior, please. I like being here. Your realm reminds me of mine, and not at the same time”. “It should feel like home”, he nodded. “Like shelter”. “It is”, I smiled again. “And your…subjects are nice to me”. “I’m glad”, he said with relief. Silence. I started to worry, that he disappeared without warning, but then he spoke again. “I wish the Dreaming become a home for you if you…want to stay longer than one month”, Morpheus said. “Thank you”, I felt warm. He can be charming. “You can do whatever you like here”, he continued. “Only you shouldn’t touch that flower. It is very fragile”. “I got it”, I smiled. “It’s important to you, isn’t it?” “Yes”, he nodded. “I won’t let anyone touch it”. “I won’t”, I said. “Now, if you excuse me, I need to make some things done”, he said. “Of course”, I replied and he went away. I couldn’t keep him from his work. I continue to walk around. Suddenly I saw a new view. A small house full of flowers. I smiled. I was sure that Morpheus made it to please me. And it worked. I gladly went there.

I returned to the castle when the sun began to set down. The flower house was wonderful. He knew what I love. “Are you alright, lady Eveline?” I heard Lucienne’s voice. “Yes”, I answered. “Why shouldn’t I be?” “You were away for a long time”, she said. “Lord Morpheus made me a gift and I enjoyed it”, I smiled. “I’m happy to hear it”, Lucienne replied with relief. “Are you looking for me to tell you about dinner?” I asked. “I hope, Morpheus will join me. I would want it”. “You are right”, I heard a smile in her voice. “The dinner is soon. And lord Morpheus promised to join you”. “Good”, I smiled. “I want to thank him for the gift”. “Lord Morpheus is an attentive lover”, she mentioned. I blushed at the thought. I didn’t think about it yet. But I will someday if I stay as his fiancée and his queen. “I’m sorry”, said Lucienne. “I misstep”. “Everything is alright”, I said. “Don’t worry”. “Do you like him?” she asked. “I don’t know, he is a charming companion and suitor”, I replied. “But it is too early to tell”. “I understand”, she said and doesn’t ask anything anymore. And then she left near the dining room. Everything so changed since I was there the last time. But this time Morpheus was waiting for me without darkness.

“Thank you for the gift”, I smiled and sat. “It is beautiful”. “I’m glad you like it”, he nodded. “It was very thoughtful and sweet of you”, I said. “What brings joy to you?” “I didn’t think about it”, he replied. “Your company for now”. I blushed. He is trying to make it work between us. Or is he like me? “You can every dream make true”, I said. “I can”, he replied and started to eat. “I’m lord of Dreams”. I started too. I noticed that shyness wasn’t his best feature. But his was more than god. It can be understood. And I was glad that he listened to me. “Why do you want me to fulfill the arrangement?” I asked. “Because I liked you”, he replied honestly. I blushed again. Mother always said that I’m beautiful. But I didn’t expect to take the attention of the Lord of the Dreams, who must saw many beautiful women. “I’m flattered”, I smiled. “I’m flattered too, that you agreed”, he smirked. He made it on purpose. He made me blush again. “So what is our plan?” I asked. “You said you wanted to break the curse”, Morpheus said. “Yes, but you didn’t give me any clues”, I admitted. “Don’t you want the curse to be broken? I’m pretty sure your subjects don’t want to be invisible too”. “It’s not that simple”, he said. “I told you, I will tell you when I’m sure”. “Very well”, I said. “Can I ask you a question?” “Yes”, he nodded. “Have you visited the world of people recently?” I asked carefully. “In this form”. “No”, Morpheus sighed. “Turned out I can’t change it anywhere”. “Oh, so now you are visiting people only in dreams”, I admitted. “Yes”, he said. The rest of the evening we were talking about dreams and the human world. I have never been in the human world. “Perhaps, you wouldn’t find it interesting”, he admitted. “Why not?” I smiled. “Humans don’t believe in magic and fairies anymore”, Morpheus said. “Perhaps, that’s the reason why fairies don’t want to show up there anymore”, I admitted. “Mother told me something about it”. “Perhaps”, he nodded. Soon the dinner was over and I admitted that it was a good day. I enjoyed Morpheus’ company and hoped that the next day will be the same. “You need to rest”, he said. “Maybe”, I said. “Have you enjoyed this day?” he asked when he wanted to take me to my room. “I enjoyed it very much”, I smiled. “Thank you. Will you keep me company tomorrow?” “If you want to”, Morpheus also almost smiled. “I want to”, I replied. “Then see you tomorrow, Eveline”, he answered. “Good night, Morpheus”, I smiled again and entered my room. This time I was falling asleep with a smile.
