Chapter 5 (part 1): sophie's pov

"Ugh, where's everyone else?" Sophie moaned as she sat on the lush green grass in front of Havenfield.

"Don't worry," Edaline assured her. "They'll be here soon."

Right on cue, a figure started forming in the grass in front of her, and as it slowly pieced together it became the lanky, tall image of Keefe.

"Hey, Foster," Keefe said with a smirk. "Excited to meet the newbie?"

"I honestly don't know," Sophie mused. "Edaline gave me a little speech on how we should underestimate an ability just because it seems useless." She twirled a blade of grass around her finger. "So we should be preparing ourselves."

"We should get a tunic that says 'Queen of inspirational talking," Fitz's crisp accent got louder as he and Biana plopped down on the grass beside them.

Keefe made a sound that was halfway between a snort and a moan. "Where'd you guys come from?"

"We would be here earlier, but someone was picking out the best outfit deciding whether to prepare to fight or to impress them," Fitz accused Biana.

"Says the one who was doing the same thing with his cologne!" Biana shot back.

"Wow, you guys are as bad as my siblings," Dex remarked as he materialized on the lawn.

"Why is everyone leaping here without any warning?" Keefe yelled.

"I don't know," Tam said as he and Linh approached from behind them.

Keefe held his head in his hands and screamed.

"Then let's just hope Forkle doesn't surprise-leap here like the rest of you did-" Sophie started.

"I've arrived," Mr. Forkle announced, striding towards the pile of friends.

Keefe screamed louder.

"Mr. Sencen, it would be very kind of you if you stopped making that horrible noise," Mr. Forkle advised as he pulled a clear leaping crystal out of his pocket. "This crystal goes to Luminebloom. I hope you've been practicing, because you'll be going alone-"

"Wait- just us?" Biana asked.

"You kids depending on adults all the time," Mr. Forkle muttered under his breath. He cleared his throat. "Yes, they specifically stated that they wanted to meet you alone."

"Oh, okay." Biana looked a little pale. Sophie clutched her hand for support.

Mr. Forkle held the crystal up to the light, and it cast a dazzling beam onto the ground. The crew looked nervously at each other, holding hands.

"Ready?" Sophie asked.

Everyone nodded. Then they stepped into the beam, and Sophie let the warm feathers swish her away.

"This is where they live?" Linh was the first to say as they stared at the landscape.

They were standing on an island composed of rocks covered in earthy moss, the white swath of beach off to one side while an azure ocean lapped at the shore. Enormous indigo flowers grew out of the cracks in the rocks, their petals drooping over their heads. Shimmering mist surrounded them, thin enough to make out the beach but thick enough for them to not see any sort of shelter.

"It's beautiful," Fitz agreed.

"Can we stop wasting time and do what we came here to do?" Tam asked, parting some of the flowers. "Which direction should we go?"

Dex levitated over them, squinting his periwinkle eyes at the distance. "I think I see a point over there."

"Then let's go!"

The group advanced through the blue blossoms, Dex leading the way. The moss was very slippery, and pretty soon Biana fell.

Tam caught her. "Seriously, can you get any more clumsy?"

Biana smiled shyly, blushing. "Thanks for catching me, thoOOUUGH-"

Wind rushed past Sophie's cheeks as she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out; they were rising so fast. It was over as soon as it happened, and she found herself hovering in the air.

"Oh no you don't!" Keefe shouted, thrashing. "You can't get us the same way again!"

"Don't try to do anything!" Tam warned everyone. "If you try to levitate down, they'll drop you and you'll be dead!"

"Dropping!" Fitz said excitedly. "Is this high enough for us to teleport, Sophie?"

Sophie shook her head. "Their telekinesis is too strong."

"Would they be able to hold me if I turned invisible?" Biana wondered.

"Biana, don't!" Everyone yelled.

But Biana was gone.
