      Atalanta. "You're like...Atalanta...a heroine...in a Greek legend...who could run...so fast...nobody could...catch her...until somebody...finally tricked her...with some...golden apples." Although he was panting hard to keep up with her, he managed to sum up the story of Atalanta for her since she reminded him of her.

    Rhia is found by Merlin, Shim and Trouble but they don't escape the castle then and instead come face to face with the evil king, Stangmar who in confonting Merlin, shocks him with the news that they are related. How are they related? The Lost Years of Merlin Book One (AtticusFinch166)
