Twst Family Members: Meleanor Draconia (pt2) - Meleanor's Power
Malleus says that both his grandmother and mother “were said to have possessed incredible power,” and Lilia says Meleanor was “so powerful, the rest of us combined wouldn’t stand a chance against her. If we take too long, she’ll call lightning bolts down on our heads or burn us to a crisp with her fire breath. And for the record, I’m not joking. She’d do it in a heartbeat.”
We see this happen on screen later in Lilia’s dream where Lilia and his troops reunite with Meleanor at Castle Wildrose and she welcomes them with insults and lighting bolts.
Noticing the humans of the group, after they introduce themselves Meleanor magically forces them to their knees for speaking out of turn and making eye contact with her (“That is the height of disrespect. Kneel”), while Sebek struggles to breathe beneath her spell.
(note: while the novel and game are not canon to one another, what we see happen to Sebek in this scene might seem a little reminiscent of what Malleus does to Yuuya in the Savanaclaw novel 👀 Translated here ▶︎)
When Lilia happens upon fae children who tells him that they want to protect their family, friends, and Lady Meleanor, Lilia responds, “I don’t think she needs your protection…”
Meleanor also seems to summon and teleport via green flames, similar to Malleus.
Lilia says that, while Meleanor is powerful, she is not invincible, but she still insists on sending the wounded troops away to confront the invading army on her own, as she “might inadvertently incinerate” her own guards.
When Meleanor appears before the invaders the Dawn Knight observes, “the weather is changing…”
During the battle and after what seems to be a violent shaking of the earth Sebek asks what is happening and Lilia responds that it is Lady Meleanor that is happening, with her magic sending the Dawn Knight into an underground waterway beneath her castle.
A member of the invading army comments that they would have been roasted inside their armor by Meleanor’s flames if it had not been for the protection of wizards fighting on their side. While escaping from the battle, lightning strikes a tree in front of Grim and Silver says that Lady Meleanor “must be fighting hard” to keep the enemy engaged.
After the group reunites Sebek says that the weather is worsening to the point that he can barely keep his eyes open and Lilia responds that the land is resonating with Meleanor’s anger.
While the group flees to Castle Blackscale a bridge connecting to Mount Dread collapses and Lilia observes, “at least now the humans won’t be chasing us,” while an earthquake then causes a rockslide that destroys the path they took to Maleficia.
While both are likely results of the land “resonating with the dragon’s anger,” it is not confirmed if the increased protection provided to Castle Blackscale by the rockslide and collapsed bridge was coincidental or intentional: possibly Meleanor’s final efforts to protect her family and home from the invading force?
