Chapter 22: Trial by Tale, pt 2

(Y/n's part of the Trial)

--

Y/n stood alone in the clearing at the gates, waiting for Tedros to enter. Just a few more minutes, she thought. She watched the scoreboard anxiously, making sure Sophie's name was still glowing, and glowing it was. Just then another ever and never had dropped their handkerchiefs. Then a whip of water caught her wrist.

"Where is Sophie?" Anadil's voice called out from the dark and pulled Y/n closer. Y/n used her other hand and used her knife to cut the whip, the water around her wrist becoming pure liquid and falling to the ground.
"I have no idea," Y/n said, which was quite true. She had no idea where Sophie was at that point.
"Don't play me like that," Anadil huffed and tried to shoot her with a lightning bolt, but Y/n created a shield in f/c glow. "You're teaming up. You want to help her, you want to humiliate us all."
"I don't!" Y/n said and moved around to dodge lightning bolts and blocks of ice and hail. "I want to go home, isn't that what you and Hester wanted too? To send Sophie home?"
"If she wanted to go home with some stupid kiss, she would have done it already," Anadil said, managing to catch Y/n's ankles in her whip and dragging Y/n closer to her. "You three will never go home. Better to just kill Sophie now, so I'll be Hester's number 1."

Wolves howled.

Anadil took Y/n's handkerchief.
"Now, tell me where Sophie is, or where she will be, or I'll drop it. If you're good, I'll save you for the end–"
Before Y/n could say a thing, Anadil had to roll to the side to avoid Tedros' sword. Y/n caught her kerchief before it hit the ground, and stuffed it down her pocket once more.
"Great..." Anadil hissed and dodged Tedros' swings with his sword. Y/n saw an opening, and spun her glowing finger. Anadil's red kerchief flew from her, and Y/n caught it. Before Anadil could do anything, Y/n dropped it to the ground. Making Anadil disappear in red smoke.

"Thanks," Y/n said and panted, out of breath.
"No worries, couldn't let you lose before we even left the start," Tedros said and laughed lightly.
Both looked over to their side, seeing Hester glare at them. If looks could kill, both would be dead on the spot. Hester then turned around, and left, deciding to save Tedros and Y/n for the end.
"Guess we have to search for Sophie then," said Tedros and looked around the Forest "We should go to the fernfield."
"No, that's an awful idea," Y/n said. "Almost everyone went that way, it's a much safer option to go towards the Blueberry fields. Knowing Sophie, she probably went to the tulips. If we go through the Blueberry Fields, the Moss Garden, the Well Clearing and then the Pine Glen, we'll be there much faster."
"Wow, you have this place more mapped out then even I do," Tedros said.
"Well, what did you think I did when we scouted the Forest?" Y/n lied, she just asked Orion to scout the Forest and then tell her where everything was. "Now, let's hurry before any other Never finds us,"

Outside the golden gates, the unchosen Evers and Nevers waited for Sophie's name to vanish off the scoreboard like Kiko's and Arachne's. But as hours passed and more names vanished–Nicholas, Mona, Tristan, Vex, Tarquin, Renna, Brone, Chaddick, Anadil– Sophie's stubbornly remained. Had Sophie and Tedros united? What would their victory mean? A prince and witch...together?

As hours passed, Good and Evil shared looks across the Clearing-- First threatened... then curious... then hopeful... and before they knew it, they were drifting into each other's sides, sharing blankets, crepes, and cherry grenadine. Evil thought it had corrupted Good, and Good thought it had enlightened Evil, but it didn't matter. For two sides soon turned into one, cheering on the Prince-Witch revolution.

Y/n and Tedros had made it to the Blueberry Fields, a big area with fewer trees. As the name suggested, it was instead full of blueberries. But at night these blueberries had a glow to them, making it look like a night-sky of stars, but on the ground. It was quite magical, and it reminded Y/n almost of her thinking place. If it wasn't for the fact the woods was a dangerous war zone at the moment, and that there were dangerous creatures at any corner, she would have been a lot calmer.
