K.J: For your question about which fictional character I would marry, the answer is none. I don't even want to marry in real life. Besides so many ships would sink. Your questions about ovens and stuff made me think about their daily lives. Maybe nothing needs cooking, idk? You know what's weird? That in nearly every book it doesn't mention the characters going to the toilet . Well Keefe said he went to go "poo" once. And who was the first elf? So many unanswered questions.
Dust Bunny: You'll find out in this chapter :D
Someonewhodoesntcare: Happy to know you're looking forward to the next chapter.
Dex laughed nervously. "You're kidding aren't you?"
They all waited for the punch line, when it didn't come they realized Sophie was deadly serious.
"I'm not kidding." Sophie said sternly.
"I think the smell is coming from outside," Linh commented.
Sophie sniffed the air, Linh was right.
But it couldn't be Everblaze could it? All the Pyrokinetics were restricted to only small candle flames, courtesy of Dex's improved ability restrictor. The memory of the restrictor was painful, but the Pyrokinetics had agreed, the few Pyrokinetics left were worried more lives would be endangered and nobody wanted that.
Sophie started running to the door that led to Everglen's backyard.
"Don't follow me." She called back. So naturally, her friends all followed her. She screeched to a halt at the sight of blazing flames at the back of the massive yard. The neon-yellow color was a tell-tale sign that it was definitely Everblaze. It swallowed everything in its path, slowly melting and burning its way through. Sophie couldn't tell where it came from but she knew it would soon reach Everglen.
"We need to make Frissyn!" Biana shouted.
Sophie fumbled to get her crystal out of her pocket. She had to leap home and get the scope. Fitz held on to her arm, preventing her.
"Wait! The council already has it in supply." He said.
Tam exhaled.
Fitz glanced over.
"Funny story-" Tam started.
"What?" Fitz interrupted
Linh sighed. "Just tell them."
"It's all used up." Tam finished.
"Woah. Back the T-Rex up. Don't they always keep some in store after what happened in Eternalia?" Keefe asked.
Linh nodded.
"They did. But there was a freak Everblaze fire in Arizona. At first, they thought it was a wildfire since it's so hot there but then they realized it was much more dangerous. So all of the Frissyn was used up to put it out." Tam explained.
Fitz groaned.
"That's just wonderful."
Sophie racked her memory. She couldn't remember anything about a fire in Arizona.
She felt Tam shadow-whisper to her. "We overheard a conversation, not long after the war."
Sophie waited for him to elaborate, but he didn't.
She asked him how he knew she was going to ask, making sure that no one noticed she was transmitting. He answered her question out loud.
"It was written all over your face."
Everyone else looked confused, except for Fitz who was rapidly talking on his imparter.
"And I thought Telepathic conversations were bad." Muttered Keefe.
Biana shrieked so loudly Sophie felt her heart almost jump out.
"We're running out of time. I don't care how we do it, my home will not be burned down." She pointed a quivering finger at the fire that was slowly but definitely spreading.
How did it even appear? Sophie shook the thought off. There would be time to think about that after.
Fitz released her arm and she fished it out.
She managed to create a path of light and took a step towards it.
"Dex, hail Kesler and tell him to start making the Frissyn. Biana and Fitz, go get the most important things in Everglen, just in case. I'll go bottle the Quintessence, I have the bottle and scope at home. I'll leap to Havenfield first to get them." She instructed.
Fitz shoved his imparter in his pocket and shook his head. "Nuh uh. I'm coming with you. I already hailed my parents and told them to not freak out and to not tell the council yet. They're at Atlantis and promised to stay there until it's safe. I said we had it under control."
It would be easier with Fitz helping her, she reasoned. So, she agreed.
They both stepped into the beam of light.
Sophie held onto his hand. "Do we have it under control?"
She could barely hear as she was swept away, but she was sure that Fitz had said,
"I hope so.
Truth or dare? If you picked dare, ask the nearest person why alicorn poop is glittery. If you picked truth, in a review tell one of the most embarrassing things that has happened to you or that you have done.
