The Costs

Chapter 13

Okay, so I still don't know if I'm going to do that sokeefe story since only @Glittery-Icecream said that she thought I should do so. Thanks by the way! there's a 60 percent chance that I will. But I wanted the characters to be other than elves, but not humans. Me being me, I asked my younger cousin for help and she says mermaids 😂. I mean, it's not such a bad idea right? Or should I just do elves? TELL ME GUYS SINCE IM DOING THIS FOR YOU!

And thank you all for 700+ views in total! It actually means a lot to me! And all the votes! Thank you to whoever did that! Sorry for the bad writing, again.

Chapter 13:

(Fitz's POV)

We have to break Fintan?

I look over to Sophie to see that she is just as surprised.

"But, after we won the battle, didn't he go in hiding?"

Councillor Emery sighed. "Yes, Fitz. But he has been recently found in the Forbidden cities, and as punishment for harming multiple elves, we want him broken for eternity."

My thoughts immediately go to my dad. Every time someone mentions something about being broken I think about my dad. I swallow. 

Sophie stays silent, like she's lost in thought about something. My nerves increase more. What if she doesn't trust me anymore? I don't want Sophie to be angry at me.

And Keefe. I just want her to be happy.

"Shall we go? Prentice and the others are waiting." 

(Sophie's POV)

What? How? I've never broken a mind before! Only healed! And plus that one time when I helped Alden break Fintan's mind, I was slipping away too!

But how did Fintan appear all of a sudden? From hiding? It all seems a little suspicious...

"Yes, we shall." Councillor Emery hands me a sharply cut, black crystal. I attach it to my pathfinder, and after hesitating a bit, I grip Fitz's right hand. 

Meanwhile, Councillor Emery has his own crystal. At almost the exact same time, we hold up the crystals to the light and glitter away. [Guys, I have no idea how Sophie got to Exile in the book Exile. If I make a mistake brush it off please 😅.]

----------

I almost snatch the cup of water away from Fitz when he finished drinking. My lungs are desperately crying for water.

Ughh, why exactly do we need to go through a quicksand substance again to get to Exile?

After I finished drinking, the cup refilled itself like it did when I came here with Alden. Shivers went down my spine. And the last time I came here was when the Black Swan and my friends attempted to get Prentice, without the council knowing. That was a fail.

"Thank you." I say to the gnome, handing him back the crystal black cup. Exile is dark, very dark. The walls all look like black crystal, only some light coming from the doors leading to the staircase, and balefire lights hung up high on some walls. [Is that how you say it? Balefire? Probably not...]
