Cordelia, meanwhile, went into the hiding.įor centuries, Merga remained imprisoned on the bottom of the sea, never to be freed. However, the peace negotiations have failed, as water dragons were eventually massacred by the earth dragons while Merga was imprisoned on the bottom of the ocean, sealed inside a crystalline prison that was kept powered by the Kingdom Stone's energy. After seeing what great toll the war took on Merga, Cordelia tried to convince the water dragon elders to allow her to establish peace between the earth dragons and water dragons, with them agreeing, as Merga was assigned to protect Cordelia during the negotiations. However, over the course of time after the initial hostilities between the two, Cordelia and Merga ended up growing closer to each other, with them bonding over their common interests and eventually developing romantic feelings for each other. One day, Princess Cordelia, daughter of the current Royal Magister of the earth dragons, snuck off to try and establish a peaceful communication with the water dragons, but ended up being captured and held hostage, with Merga keeping a watch on her. Merga was one of the earth dragons' most dangerous adversaries, capable of wiping out entire armies singlehandedly, and was feared by friend and foe alike. ![]() To counter their oppressors, water dragons bred Merga, a genetically-modified supersoldier who would be able to fight back against earth dragons with ease. One day, to silence their complaints, the earth dragons used Bakunawa's mining laser to wipe out majority of water dragon population while writing the case off as an "accident", thus provoking the water dragons into fighting back, which led to one of the most catastrophic wars in the history of Avalice. The earth dragons allegedly brought prosperity to Avalice's natives, sharing with them their technology and culture, but in truth, water dragons, a mixture of countless various species given one name due to their biological compatibility, were enslaved by them, treated as second-class citizens at best and outright labor force at worst, and they were forced to build Bakunawa, a spaceship that would be able to destroy moons to absorb their energy and use it for interstellar travels. Long ago, in the distant past of Avalice, water dragons used to live in peace as Avalice's varied indigenous species until the earth dragons crashlanded onto the planet. However, the Kingdom Stone's destruction at Lord Brevon's hands in the end of the first game resulted in her breaking free from the prison, with her spending the next three years plotting her revenge, leading to the game's current events. With earth dragons being unable to kill her, they sealed her away in the crystalline prison, powered by the Kingdom Stone's energy. She is an ancient biologically-modified water dragon centurion who fought in one of the most catastrophic wars of Avalice's past. Merga is the main antagonist of the 2022 indie video game Freedom Planet 2, the second installment of Freedom Planet series. ~ Merga declaring her intentions to have Bakunawa devour the moon and leave Avalice's solar system while leaving the planet to die. ![]() Hear me, Magister! The weapon that you earth dragons created, that brought death to so many of my people.will now be my salvation! Bakunawa will rise to the sky and devour your moon, giving her the energy she needs to leave this solar system! And we will sail the stars while this world rots! This planet is yours! Long may you reign vainglorious over a dead world! ~ Merga revealing to Lilac that the Earth Dragons, Magister's species, massacred the water dragons. Merga: Move aside, hatchling! He will answer for his people's crimes! And then we can talk! All so HIS kind could lay claim to the world that we once called home! Entire clans of water dragons, all wiped out. Lilac: Shut up! I'm not listening to you! Merga: Open your eyes, hatchling! This man has lied to you! ALL OF YOU! His entire life! Do you remember the question? The question I asked but he dared not answer? "What happened to all of the water dragons?"
