Vilia

"We will stay with you and protect you through the night."

- Vilia The Vilia are water spirits of the brooks and streams. They appear to be benevolent in nature and have healing powers.

History
When the Veil between the worlds was torn, the balance of the world was upset, and good spirits as well as bad roamed freely. A group of Vilia appeared to Lancelot at a river while he was trying to find a place to shelter him and Merlin from the Dorocha's attacks. They took the form of water bubbles floating in the air, and one of them informed the knight that his and Merlin 's help would be needed at the Isle of the Blessed. They magically healed Merlin and promised Lancelot they would protect the two from the Dorocha during the night. They created a sphere of light that surrounded the lake (The Darkest Hour).

Abilities
As water spirits, the Vilia command different attributes of the water element. They were able to appear from water bubbles and easily healed Merlin, who was seriously injured from a Dorocha's touch. It can be assumed that they can also predict the future, like Kilgharrah and The Cailleach, because they knew how Merlin and Lancelot would help in the repairing of the Veil.
