Author's Note: Hi guys, this is my first fan fiction and I hope you enjoy it! The first chapter is very short but I promise that all the other ones will be longer. Just to be clear, Adira is Sophie and Fitz's daughter. Please review (so I can improve)!
Disclaimer: The world and all the wonderful characters (except for the ones I made up) belong to Shannon Messenger.
Adira sat quietly waiting for Cassia in the courtyard of Everglen. She looked at the ground, trying to guess how many dark blue tiles there were. It was a reasonably small space with two stone benches and a flowering mirsaca tree that bloomed yellow flowers every year.
Someone tapped her shoulder. Adira jumped up in surprise.
"Relax," a voice laughed from behind her. "It's just me."
Cassia. Adira's muscles relaxed.
Cassia had light blue eyes and ruffled blonde hair. Or as all the adults said, the spitting image of her father Keefe.
"Ready to go?" Adira asked.
"Obviously," Cassia replied. She had a certain way of speaking that made Adira feel carefree and daring.
"Did you forget to wear you nexus?" Adira asked already knowing the answer.
"No. I didn't want to put it on." After hearing Adira's sigh, she elaborated.
"I'm already at ninety percent," Cassia explained. "It's not a big deal."
"Alright," Adira said. "Just don't blame me if you fade."
And with that, Cassia pulled her into the light.
