'''Images flashed through Sophie’s mind as she stared at the mass of elves gathered near her. People who had come for her. Who had risked their lives over and over for her.'''

'''And as gratitude surged in her veins, something cold also took place in her. These people had given up so many things for her. And she was about to put them in danger. '''

Never again.

'''She was going to make sure nothing bad ever happened to them. It would be a difficult promise to keep, she knew.'''

'''But this was her battle. Her fight, her problems. She had dragged these people into her mess. But it wouldn’t happen again.'''

'''Her life had been planned out decades- maybe even centuries ago. Her role had been chosen for her.'''

But no one else had been chosen to help her.

This wasn’t their headache.

And even though they kept insisting they wanted to help her, they didn’t deserve to have their lives wrecked.

'''And as the wind howled around them, and the bells rang, something clicked inside Sophie. '''

She knew what to do.

So she didn’t tremble as she readied her mind, filling it with a surge of energy, and got ready to use it on the people who were her last chance if things went horribly wrong.

'''She would have no backup, no friends to call on for help. '''

But she knew it was the right decision.

Sophie unleashed the energy, making the people she cared about collapse.

Something bitter rose in her throat, making her want to vomit.

What had she done?

But in her heart, Sophie knew she had done what she had to do.

And as the bells rang one last time, she headed into the cave.

'''Into the place where her enemies were waiting. Where the Neverseen were readying themselves for her.'''

'''It’s okay, she told herself one final time. After all, this was her legacy.'''
