Koralie Part 2

Forkle left Linh and Wylie to take care of Kenric. He headed down the hallway of Alluveterre in the direction of the girls/boys treehouses. The Black Swan were able to take back their Hideout they'd given up because of Keefe. Keefe had given the light leaping crystal to the Neverseen to earn their trust. Stupid mistake really.

Forkle turned on the last turn before the treehouses came into view. He headed down that way until he came to a stop at a door with a label that said,

Contact area.

Forkle walked into the Contact area. The room was a baby blue and had tables everywhere. The tables held Human, Ogre, Dwarven, Gnomish, Elvin, Trollish, and Goblin contact devices. Forkle walked over to the Elvin table filled with Imparters. Forkle picked one up and hailed all of the Council. It was time to tell them about Kenric and risk getting banished because he didn't tell them sooner.

"Ah, Forkle. What do we owe the pleasure?" Emery asked when all of the Council was there on the call.

"I realize you are probably gonna banish me or something because I didn't want to tell you this sooner." Forkle started.

"Tell us what? The Neverseen isn't dead?" Bronte jokes. The Irony. Bronte used to be this strict guy before Amy came along.

Amy is Sophie's sister from the Human land. Apparently Bronte has a soft spot for Amy. Who knew?! Bronte turned from Strict mean guy to a total softie because of Amy. She taught him how to have fun.

"Actually, no. And I want to say beforehand... Oralie, I am so sorry." Forkle said.

"What do you mean? What do you have to be sorry for?" Oralie asked.

"I have you all here on a call because I have Kenric. He isn't dead, and two of our members have been taking care of him for the whole time you thought he was... gone" Forkle said, slowly.

"You... you're joking... right? THIS ISN'T FUNNY! This Kenric dying joke ISN'T FUNNY!" Oralie cried.

"Do you have the proof?" Emery and Alina sneered at the same time.

"Yes. If you'll stay on, I can show you he is awake." Forkle left the room and started walking back to Kenric's room. All the Council was yelling at him in disbelief. They didn't like the "Joke".

Kenric walked into the room and waved Linh and Wylie away. He showed the Council Kenric, who was still awake, and the council stopped yelling. It was quiet for a solid minute. Oralie was the first to break the silence.

"K-Kenric? Is it really you?" Oralie asked, tears streaming down her face. The rest of the Council was quiet and shocked.

"Ora... you're here! I... I missed you. And the rest of the Council. How do you do?" Kenric asked casually. Though one tear slid down his cheek. The first one in four years since he got burned.

"Wait... tell me something only the real Kenric would know." Oralie asked, suddenly very suspicious.

"I know who Project Moonlark is and who one of her parents is." Kenric said carefully.

The Council, Linh, Wylie, and Forkle stood shocked at what they heard. Out of all the people in the room (and on the call) three of them knew that Oralie was Sophie's Mother: Kenric, Oralie, and Forkle.

"And, who would that be?" Emery prompted.

"None of your business." Forkle said. He shut the imparter before more questions or punishments arise.

"Why did you say that?" Forkle demanded. "There must've been something else that you could've answered with!"

"This is the only secret that Oralie would've accepted." Kenric replied.

Linh asked, "Who is Sophie's parents?"

"That's also what I want to know." Wylie added.

"And you will not know. Period. It will literally end society as we know it!" Forkle warned

Linh looked at Wylie and shrugged. They continued working on healing Kenric.
