"I mean, did you see what she was wearing? She might as well have worn a trash bag. And shut up, you weren't even there so you can't say anything, Hunkeyhair."

Alvar Vacker didn't know what to think about his brother's ex-girlfriend's antics, it was either extremely stupid or stratigetic because she called the queen's attention. "Who are you and how did you just appear out of thin air? Why are you here?" Sophie didn't answer right away, she just stared at the queen in awe, but the trane faded as she shook herself. "Yes, the reason why I'm here is because your villain, Maeve, is ours now too. My assumption is that while in your world she traveled to mine as well, she's using it as a backup--since she couldn't take over Erilea she's taking over my home. You're The Queen Who Walked Through Worlds, but remember she shares the same title."

Aelin laughs at her, "You tell a good story, but Maeve is dead. I killed her myself." Sophie shakes her head and shoves Ruy to her, "That was an illusion, in my world she goes by Vespera, this jackass's mother." Aelin nimbly gets out of her throne and struts to Ruy, grabbing him and examining him.

"Throw me to the wolf do you." He mutters under his breath, "If you were thrown to a wolf, I would have given you to Fenrys." As if on cue an enormous wolf steps into the room and Sophie squeals, she runs up to the wolf brushing Aelin as she passes. The queen's eyes go wide as she takes a full birth of Sophie, and though Sophie has seen better days, she looks way better than she did days ago. Alvar says the queen looks at the king and his nostrils go wide as he smells her, then his eyes go wide as well.

They say something with their eyes, and they both smell Ruy again, eyes going wider than they were before. "The girl is right, Rowan, he is Maeve's son and her scent is fresh on him. The only thing is that he is full fae, how is that even possible?" Sophie looks up from where she was looking at the wolf who is looking at her weirdly. "Wait. Does that mean his father's fae? Do you know who his father is? That's so cool, I wish I was fae with all your cool powers."

"But Sophie, you are a genetically modified elf--bio engineered--if you wanted I'm pretty sure you could get more abilities, you just need to trigger them." Sophie violently shakes her head, "I think I have enough," The wolf has gone back to smelling her again, it's eyes go wide and it looks at the king and queen and they nod. In an instant there is a man that can only be described as beautiful despite the twin scars running down the left side of his face, going through his eyebrow all the way down to his jaw.

He looks down at Sophie and towers over her, "You're smaller than I thought you were as a wolf." Alvar looks him over and guesses that the man is about six foot two, eleven inches taller than Sophie, "Yeah, I'd be taller if it wasn't for Councillor Lyingcurls." She pouts, Alvar guesses that thing's never really got worked out between them and with Keefe leaving it got worse. "Who?"

"Miss Ringlets and Rosy Cheeks? The Liar Who Didn't Deserve To Be Mentioned? Councillor Not-My-Mom? The Councillor Who Didn't Deserve My Time? The Councillor That I Wish Wasn't There? A really short lady?" Alvar was ready to drive off a cliff, "Her mother, she's talking about her biological mother." Ruy looks at her in shock, "Seriously, the blonde bitch is your mother?"

Putting aside the fact that Ruy called Oralie a bitch, Alvar waited to hear Sophie's response, "She is not my mother, Edaline is. We may share DNA, but she's lied to me for years, nothing can fix that." The Wolf Man made eye contact with the king and queen again and Alvar was getting more and more suspicious. "Well, I didn't come here to talk about her. I came to see if you would help us, Vespera has been a plague for as long as I've known her--Maeve. She needs to either get sent back to her own world or...or die."

Aelin Galathynius didn't know what to think of this child in front of her, she's very clearly mentally damaged and would probably break if Aelin said no. "I will help you, but I will need to call a meeting with all the ruling families first." That's not the only reason she had agreed to help though. As soon as the girl magically appeared in the middle of the room Aelin had known that there was something up with the girl, but she'd never imagined that it would be that big--the boy too.
