Sophie's POV

I stared at the crystal in my hand, Keefe's words echoing in my mind. He was being forced to betray me, manipulated by the Neverseen's threats. It tore at my heart to think of Keefe, all alone.

"We have to do something," Fitz's voice broke the silence.

Dex nodded, his brow furrowed in concentration. "We can't let them get to Keefe or Sophie."

Biana stepped forward, "We need a plan. How do we stop the Neverseen and protect Keefe at the same time?"

"We need to find out where they're keeping him," Linh suggested, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

"Elwin might have some ideas," Dex added, glancing around at everyone for agreement.

"I'll go talk to him," Fitz offered, already moving towards the door.

I nodded gratefully,  "Thank you, Fitz."

As he left, I turned back to the group, feeling a surge of determination. "We can't wait. We have to prepare. Keefe risked everything to warn us. Now it's our turn to save him."
