The Mission - WOF AND KOTLC CROSSOVER

Chapter 1

Sophies PoV

"Argh, Keefe, I'm running late!"

"Okay, okay, one minute, just need to wear my socks!" Keefe shouted from the other end of the room as I waited outside. The council wanted to talk to us. They always want something.

When Keefe and I were finally out of the house, actually, more like a mansion, we leapt to our destination.

All twelve councillors were waiting for us. I was worried we were late and tugged out an eyelash as Bronte said,"We have a task for you, one that you have been requesting for a while now."

"After your countless requests and after over a year of investigation and creation," Emery said," We are finally ready to approve of your request for searching for alien life. We want you to put together a team of elves to go on this mission."

I was excited, and scared as this wasn't what I'd been expecting. Not this early. Plus, the risks, that would be involved--

"We understand due to your abnormal upbringing, that you may think this idea is dangerous, when it is not. For elves, at least. We discovered an elixir that helps survive the cosmos, and yes, this includes breathing and not traveling in a 'space suit'. However, the elixir only lasts for one month, so far as we have tested. We cannot risk more than that, as consequences are unknown."

As Emery finished, I was elated. 

"So, I can ask anyone to go on this mission?" I asked, as Keefe took my hand to stop me from pulling out more eyelashes.

"Yes, but we need the team assembled in the next week or so. We cannot waste much time due to -- classified reasons."

Classified reasons? Three years ago when I'd first requested approval, they'd denied, saying that it was unneeded, as there were no threats to the cosmic balance. Balance, they hadn't specified. But days ago, I'd heard the council had had a meeting on a 'Timeline'. My hands were itching to tug another eyelash out.

What was the council hiding?

That night we visited Biana and Tam. As we sat down at the table, I tugged another three eyelashes out before saying," The council approved."

Biana dropped her fork and Tam's eyes narrowed. Despite their different reactions, they said in union,"WHAT?! WHEN?! SOPHIEEE!!!" The last one was mostly Biana.

"They want me to assemble a team."

"Seriously? After denying it several times?" Tam said confused.

"Oh, my, MALLOWMELT, Sophie, I'd be totally willing to go!" Biana squealed. The Tam said, "Uhm. Don't you wanna. Maybe talk about this?" I totally understood that Tam was worried, like I had been a couple hours ago. So naturally I said,

"It's perfectly safe as long as you drink this elixir that last a month."

"What?! So basically, we're gonna drink a tiny potion and be like, BAM all problems solved?" Okay, so mayybeee his reaction wasn't what I'd been expecting.

"Relax Bangs Boy, your forgetting, this potion, along with the space craft we're travelling in, has been being tested for at least a year now." Keefe said, looking at me sideways giving me a , really-sophie,-protective-bangs-boy-we're-talking-about-couldn't-you-have-tried-a-little-harder? look.

"Fine, but if Biana's going, I'm going with her." Tam said, slipping his hand to touch Bianas as she looked more relieved.

"Won't question it. Besides, it's not like this is the most dangerous thing we've ever done." I said, sinking my teeth into a square of mallowmelt.

*Understatement? What do you think?*

Two days later

-AFTER SOPHIE AND KEEFE RECRUITED LINH, FITZ, DEX AND MARELLA ( WYLIE IS OPERATING THE WHOLE THING FROM THE ELVEN WORLD- (AUTHOR: Please, please, please don't kill me, my friends ship Litz, and I'm writing Lylie in  [ https://www.wattpad.com/1488484692-nights-after-war-a-kotlc-fanfic-nights-after-war ] so sorry )

Keefe and I returned home exhausted, half the week was already gone, and we were still awaiting for something, anything, from the council. 

"Foster, look what arrived in the mail!"

I rushed down stairs-

past the countless rooms-

right to the door-

- where Keefe was holding a scroll.

But not just any scroll.

A scroll with the councils stamp on it.

They'd finally responded.
