Keeper of the Lost Cities Moonlark

Chapter Twenty One: Sophie

"Sophie? Sophie! SOPHIE WAKE UP!" A familiar voice shouted into Sophie's ear, who once again was on the comfy bed in her mind.

"Huh? What happened?" Sophie yawned, sitting up on the squishy mattress and fighting to keep her eyes open. "Did I miss something?"

"No! Well, I don't know. I'm not really sure. You see, I realized something was very wrong when I realized you were losing a bunch of fluids and whatnot. So when I decided to go do some, uh, let's call it some "business", so when I went to do some "business" I found that you were subconsciously remembering more about Keefe plus some other emotions that came along with those memories and also knocking lose new memories that the Black Swan implanted into your brain. All of which causing a bunch of chaos because then those memories started a chain reaction that started knocking lose other memories that were temporarily blocked because of, y'know, what happened, and your mind wasn't really ready for all of that." Clarisna explained out of breath.

"So, basically a bunch of my memories came back and that's why I'm unconscious?"

"To sum it all up, well, yes. That would be correct."

"Wow. Welp, I don't know about you, but I am starving!" Sophie exclaimed as her stomach grumbled for the fifth time during their conversation.

"Oh, um I'm not sure I have anything that would actually help your hunger, but I do have some food that taste good and it kind of tricks your mind into thinking you've eaten when you really haven't. Getting rid of hunger is more of a physical thing. Someone outside of your body would probably have to give you an elixir or some food."

"Of course, obviously I can't eat some real food right now." Sophie grumbled then sighed. "Just, I don't know, could you conjure up some butterblasts? Maybe like twelve to fifteen?"

"Yep, I could do that. It's just that creating that many out of just your memories of it and sensations you get when you eat it would probably drain your energy." Clarisna replied.

"I honestly don't see any other option, unless Elwin or Livvy are about to just magically make it so I'm not hungry anymore."

"Alright Moonlark, it's your call! You might want to brace yourself." Clarisna warned.

"Uh, okay?" Sophie said then reorganized her pillows and sunk into them.

At first nothing happened, then Clarisna's face turned a red color and she had her hands outstretched like she was trying to raise the dead. A few seconds went by, probably about twenty when finally 2 plates of the yummy treat appeared in her hands. At least, it was only 2 plates with 6 butterblasts on each when half a beat later a bunch more appeared. There were at least 10 plates of them, not counting the ones still in Clarisna's hands.

"Oops." Clarisna said out of breath. She also looked slightly paler. "I guess I don't really have the hang of it yet." as soon as the last word tumbled out of her mouth, she fainted falling directly on a plate of squishy butterblasts.

"Clarisna?" Sophie asked, a little panicked. "Are you okay?"

Silence.

"Oh geez." Sophie breathed.
