One last fight one last revenge.
Sophie Foster has had enough.
It is time to payback.
Sophie regroups with her friends and prepare for a finale battle.
The last battle.
Sophie rushed outside as quickly as possible, barely saying bye to Grady and Edaline. "Sophie!" Grady shouted behind her. "Where are you going?!" Edaline asked panicking. "Coming quickly," she shouted back at them. Sandor caught up with her first, "Miss Foster Where do you think you are going!" "Grab my hand quick" she shouted over the wind. "Why?" Before he could say anything more Sophie caught his hand and channeled every bit of energy she could gather in her sprint. Apparently her new way to teleport.
They stumbled across Candleshade and burst through the doors. "Keefe!" " Keefe!" She called out frantically to worried that something bad had happened. She opened door after door, and then a voice that she was relived to hear. "Foster!" "Keefe" she yelled and.....he looked so worn out, so sad deafeated. She pulled him into a hug, "are you alright?" He didn't answer.
"Keefe seriously are you alright?"
"I am fine Foster but apparentlly it looks like I am way to dumb to be alright."
"Keefe atleast tell me something."
"It was always there Foster and still we missed it." "What is the point of her then?" He pointed to a shadow lurking behind the walls. "Hey, it wasn't my fault, the thing was covered in ash!" Ro came out from the shadows.
Was she imagining it or did Ro look a little guilty? "Okay, everything aside can some one please tell me what happened?"She asked.
After a moment of silence which painfully sliced into her heart, Keefe finally spoke.
"Well, Momy dearest had hidden something in Candleshade which we found."
Ro opened her palm and showed her a piece of paper. It was covered in ash and was crumpled and dusty.
Sophie grabbed the tiny paper barely the size of her palm and it had just one word etched into it....Moonlace.
She flipped the paper sure there was supposed to be more. She groaned Nothing.
Wait....was the paper glittering?
She hid the paper in her palm, time to work alone. She put a hand on Keefe's shoulder. "Hey, you are not dumb okay." "You are a brilliant person, and no matter what happens Nothing nothing will change that okay.''
He sighed.

Keefe looked just as sulky when she left. After she had answered a million questions to Grady and Edaline she pushed her tired body up. She took a quick shower changed into her pajamas and snuggled in her blankets.
She didn't sleep no she wouldn't, she acted to sleep when Edaline came to check on her and when she was certain everyone was asleep she jumped out of bed.
She opened her palm and looked at the glittering piece of paper. She took out a small box, her crystal making box. She had been taught and given one by Mr Forkle for emergencies.
She scrubed all the glittering stuff of the paper, she added some essence and waited for it to freeze which should be...now. The tiniest piece of crystal was done, it was an emerald one. She squinted at it she had never seen an emerald crystal. Now she had to cut the facets, she studied the paper carefully.
Slowly she made out a thin line, no a letter. It was a M, it had tiny numbers on it.

This is what it looked like.
She figured out the pattern and precisely cut the crystal.
When it was done she looked at the now ready crystal. She looked out of the hallway relived Sandor had not come from his security patrol yet.
She lit a lamp and raised the crystal. It created a soft emerald pathway. She took a deep breath and let the light take her away.
