It was so quiet, almost eerie. The frozen world was silent except for the crunchy sound the snow made as Sophia walked. It wasn't so bad though. Sophia was used to being alone and it was nice to get away from the sound of weapons clashing and cries of death.
The snow was coming down again, softly this time. Small snowflakes melted on her cloak, some hitting her face. When they first arrived a blizzard came through. Sophia saw it coming and was able to warn them. Her power was a gift, but it could also be a curse. In this world being different was dangerous.
Sophia knelt down and started to shape the snow into the only place she really knew. The secret city was full of palm trees and pyramids. She smiled as she formed small snow dragons and people getting along. Igraine and Fa's house was easy to make. She spent a lot of time building the temple where she spent most of her time. She made sure to put the torches and statues surrounding it.
When she was finally finished she smiled proudly. She was so determined with her building that she lost track of time. Her cloak and gloves had soaked through so she was numb all over.
"Sophia?" Igraine's voice made her jump. "What are you doing out here by yourself?"
She was dressed more modestly in this cold weather. It was very different to see her all bundled up.
"I just wanted some time to think." Sophia answered quietly.
Igraine saw what she had made and knelt down beside her. It was a beautiful sight so far away from home.
"You miss Arcadia as well?"
Sophia was torn. "It's strange." She said thinking. "I don't really know. I'm seeing and experiencing so many things I never would have before. The elder always said the world was a dangerous place."
Sophia paused and admired her surroundings. "How could something so beautiful be so bad? Also Roy…." She stopped herself.
Igraine wiped a strand of hair out of her eyes. "You love him don't you?"
The flush crept up Sophia's neck and soon her whole face was red.
"You don't have to tell me. Just be careful. Love is…You can get hurt."
Sophia imagined her life if she never returned to Arcadia. Could she truly be happy?
They both sat shivering lost in thought until Igraine broke the silence.
"Let's get back to camp before we freeze to death."
Sophia looked back one more time as the wind began to pick up. The wind swirled the snow up so that her snow Arcadia was barely visible.
"Things aren't so different here."
Author's Note: Hey I hope you enjoyed this short look at Sophia. Are any of you Disney fans? I hope it isn't plagiarism if I took a line from The Little Mermaid? Credits to Disney for that haha.
