THANK YOU for all the reviews. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

'''“It would make sense,” Stina mumbled. “Have this weird sedative power enhancing thing where nobody knows what it can do, and then threaten to use it if the dwarves don’t cooperate.”'''

'''Biana nodded. “Yeah, and when used on trolls, they became more vicious. Keefe manifested a creepy new ability, and the only reason it wasn’t worse was probably because Elwin and Tam got most of it out of his system. So what if…..whatever the Neverseen did to Keefe…….made dwarves more likely to turn evil?”'''

'''“So the dwarves either cooperated of their own free will, or they were being controlled by s—the Keefe thing?” Sophie couldn’t believe this. “And the Neverseen were threatening them?”'''

'''“What about the gnomes, ogres, and goblins?” Dex asked. “Were the Neverseen experimenting on them, too?”'''

'''“They already tried to take down the gnomes with the plauge, and they’re too foolish to target the goblins until they’re ready to take down the Council, too,” Grady pointed out. “As for the ogres…..with the drakostomes and the shaky relationship between the ogres and the Council, it’s safe to assume they were acting of their own free will. The ogres are powerful and violent enough without a special, hard-to-create substance to make them more powerful and violent.”'''

'''“So, you just gave us another reason why we need to get the info from Luzia as soon as possible,” Sophie summarized. She didn’t mention Oralie’s cache. Stina didn’t know, and she wasn’t sure it was wise to tell her. '''

“Pretty much.”

'''Sophie informed her teammates about the upcoming probing, and the meeting devolved from there. '''

'''SOPHIE! FRIEND! FLY! WYNN! LUNA!'''

'''Sophie rubbed her temples. Havenfield served as an animal reserve, where Grady and Edaline, along with a fleet of gnomes, transferred animals to a vegetarian diet so they could be moved to the Sanctuary—a place for animals to live that had been hollowed out of Mount Everest. '''

'''Sophie had shared a telepathic bond with Silveny, an alicorn, ever since they first met. It was pretty awesome being able to communicate with her—although Silveny was very loud, which could be a little annoying.'''

'''I’m coming, she transmitted. '''

'''She wove around various animal pastures until she reached the place she was looking for. There was Silveny, tall and majestic, a cross between a unicorn and a pegasus with her silvery horn and long white wings. '''

'''Greyfell, her mate, was beside her, looking just as regal as Silveny with his shimmering silver fur and blue-tipped wings. And next to them were two tiny twin baby alicorns: Luna, who shimmered like she had been dipped in moonlight, and Wynn, who had blue-tipped wings just like his daddy.'''

'''Wynn and Luna weren’t just adorable. They were essential. The elves believed that every creature was vital to the planet. When Sophie had found Silveny, that had reset the Timeline to Extinction, and Wynn and Luna had doubled the planet’s alicorn population. It was essential to keep them safe, which was why Sophie was glad to see that the twins were with their parents, not sneaking into the gorgodon’s cage.'''

'''FLY! FLY! FLY! Silveny transmitted.'''

I’m okay.

'''SOPHIE STRESSED? A little.'''

FLY FREE!

Not right now—I’m busy.

'''Only…..she wasn’t. Not really. '''

'''Yes. Fly free.'''

She quickly explained to her parents, and then took off on Silveny.

'''They flew until the sky was dimming, twirling and dipping and spinning, and Sophie started to feel a lot better. '''

It felt good to take a break, to take her mind off things.

'''“There you are!” Grady called from the ground. The sun was sinking into the ocean, painting the sky orange and pink and gold. Sophie was suprised—how could the time have gone by so quickly?'''

“Is something wrong?” Sophie asked.

'''“Not wrong,” Grady corrected. “Councillor Bronte just arrived.”'''
