A/N: Hey peeps! OK, so this story takes off from the first book of KOTLC, a what-if, where the Black Swan decides to keep Sophie trained and under their watch until she's needed back at the Lost Cities. The thing is, everyone there believes that Sophie Foster is dead, considering Dex was found washed up by the cave, alone. Everything's normal. So what happens when strange 'Neverseen' elves start targeting people? The Black Swan send in a a blonde girl, one with a strange, black mask. Someone who just feels oh so familiar. At least Linh and Tam would be with her during Foxfire- right?
"They have only been a nuisance." The man's voice was angry- that much Calla could tell. Just like the way she could tell there was no way to change his mind about this certain decision. But she raised her own soft, feathery voice up anyways to counter his words.
"They will have learned! And besides, Sophie needs more some friends to help her- it'll help her learn and improve, and socialize! A young elf like her requires that!" The old man's twin put in his own opinion quite soon after her thoughts.
"If we were to do this, we'll give her some- let her go to Exilium for a bit, see how that works out. In fact, send her to Exilium for a long time. They do provide good training she'll need." He hummed, before elaborating on his comment further more. "Let her only take the morning classes there, spending the afternoons at the usual hide-out for ability training."
Both his twin and the gentle Calla hesitated, taking in and absorbing the suggestion before giving their nod of approval. The petite gnome murmured softly to herself after both left.
"And so it is decided, I suppose. Sophie Foster is not to go back to the Lost Cities. For a long, long time, at least."
