My name is Councillor Sophie, and my life is brilliant.
I had to grow up watching my friends fall in love and eventually marry, but I could never.
Why?
I'm unmatchable.
That's why I decided to become a Councillor: No more hurt, no more pain, no more living with the harsh reality that I would be forever alone simply because I'm the Black Swan's experiment and Moonlark.
I'm over the Black Swan, the Neverseen are gone, I've done what they made me for, surely I'm just a burden now?
I'm also done with my friends.
They never meant to hurt me, but I couldn't be around them without being constantly reminded that the majority were married and (in Biana and Tam's case at least) already have kids, which is something I'll never get.
Because I'm unmatchable.
Still, I care for my friends a mighty lot, even if they don't realise it, so I always keep myself informed as to what is going on in their lives, what their relationship statuses are, and who has or hasn't got kids.
My current knowledge (as it stands) is:
-Fitz married some beautiful girl, but no one really knows much as he cut himself off from the group years ago.
-Biana and Tam are happily married with 2 kids (Marianne and Josephine)
-Dex married Stina Heks (I still don't know why he did that).
-Marella and Linh are currently engaged.
-Wylie is living in Ravagog working with the Ogres.
As for Keefe? No one has heard from him in years.
Apparently he lingered with the group for a few months after I became a Councillor, but then disappeared. No word, no trace, no sign.
Sometimes, late at night, I still see him holding me in his arms while I cried, or comforting me when Fitz did something, or making a light-hearted joke just to make me laugh when I was down.
I also still see how Lord Cassius neglected him.
How Lady Gisela abused him.
How the Neverseen used him.
Everyday I thank God the Neverseen are gone, Gisela is in exile, Lord Cassius is hiding away at the Shores of Solace and Candleshade is sitting there, unused and forgotten.
And sometimes when I'm stuck or upset or scared I think, what would Keefe do?
