Axius looked towards the lake for a moment, then looked back at Zarilla. "In a manner of speaking she is. My real parents lost their lives a while back, and I would have too if it weren't for Meras. I was bleeding from many wounds and right before I crossed over to the other side Meras the lake entity reached out and pulled me here. She covered me in the water and healed my wounds, but in order to truly save me she had to bind herself to me. Ever since then I Have visited her and told her all about my life, from the tragedies to the happiest of moments."  As Axius finished speaking and walking closer to the lake a ripple surged through the lake. The water began to glow as the form of a woman began to materialize from the water. She had long white hair and a blue orb in the middle of her forehead. She was dressed in beautiful white robes and moved with grace over the water towards Axius. "Hello Meras, this is my new friend Zarilla" Axius said as the lake entity smiled at the unfamiliar centaur.
