'''Chapter One

"So, what do we do?" Dex asked. A week before, Sophie reluctantly agreed to try to open the Councilor She Despised's cache. She only did it to help Keefe. Sophie couldn't think about the fact that Keefe might never wake up.

Sophie hated this project. She was back in Eternalia, where she discovered Oralie's identity. She had to work with her biological mother. It was all Lady Gisela's fault for doing a weird ritual on Keefe. Sophie tried not to glance at the councilor.

"What if I enhance you? Do you think you will figure out how to open it?" Sophie asked Dex.

"Alright, " Dex replied. They held hands and fell back from the power of Sophie's enhancing. He said, "I always forget how powerful this is."

"Are you getting anywhere?" Oralie replied.

"This is a lot. I think I know what to do. I'm going to do a few tweaks." said Dex. Oralie handed the cache to him.

Dex looked at it in every way possible. He touched it and took some notes.

"Actually, this will take too long. Maybe I should go back to Rimeshire and take all my notes there. When I'm done, I'll figure out a few ways to open the cache. Then, I'll come back." Dex said. "I'll leave the cache here."

"Thanks for agreeing to help wake up Keefe," Sophie added.

As Dex left, Sophie could have sworn she saw him wink.

"Well, I'm going to leave now," Sophie told Oralie. She couldn't stand being alone with that person.

"Before you go, I know Keefe will wake up. I know how much you want him to, and I'm sure he will wake up. We just have to wait," Oralie said. Even though Sophie hated her mother, she had to admit that it was reassuring. With that, Sophie leaped back to Havenfield.

Sophie arrived right where Luna and Wynn were running around.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come home again. Ever since Loanmore, all you do is spend time with That Boy," Grady said.

"He is in a coma. I don't get why you still hate him. I'm just... worried. Plus, the healing center was getting crowded," Sophie argued.

"Relax, I know. I just have trust issues after what happened to Brant. But I understand."

Sophie was unsure what to make of that... but they weren't like Brant and Jolie... they were just friends. So, she went into her room.

"I was wondering when you would come back again. I don't care if you stay at the healing center, as long as you feel comfortable there. But maybe you should check on Team Valiant. Or hang out with some of your friends. You haven't seen most of you friends since Loamnore," Edaline said as she greeted Sophie.

"I've been busy," Sophie told her.

"At the healing center with Keefe. But you have school tomorrow-"

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah. Maybe you should pay attention to other things."

"Maybe," Sophie said as she went into her room and fell asleep. But another idea to wake up Keefe came into her mind.'''
