Tam's POV

Sophie told us to come to the meeting so here Linh, Wylie, Dex and I sit.

"We are thankful to tell you that Fitz has been safely returned," the King states.

The rest of the people at the meeting cheer.

"But before we get to that my daughter is going to introduce someone!"

Biana steps away from her family, Sophie, Keefe, a strange new girl and the council.

"I am very sure we are all grateful for my brothers safe return, but I would like to warn you that the group of elves that captured him are still out there!"

There was a few gasps.

"They are still out there and we are doing everything we can to find them and keep you safe!  One of those measures is our new Defense Councilor, Flelf!"  

The said elf steps away from the rest of the elves and I can see that she isn't a regular elf.

"Hey isn't that Bright Mind?"  Wylie asks.

"I think you're right," says Dex.

"Why do you think she's the defense councilor?" Linh asks.

"Probably to keep an eye on things," I say.

"Flelf, would you like to say anything?" Biana asks.

"Sure," Flelf says taking Biana's place at the top of the stage.  "My name is Flelf and my goal as the Defense Councilor is to make sure each and everyone of you are safe at all times."

"And to know the plans of attack against the Black Swan," Wylie says.

"Thank you Flelf and Biana," the King says.  "Now Fitz would like to say a few words about his capture," the King waves the Prince forward.

"Hello," the Prince starts, "I, as you all know, was recently captured by a band of rogue elves."

Everyone boos.

"But luckily I was saved by another band of elves, trying to do there best to keep the rest of us safe from the band of elves that captured me!"

There was a round of gasps.

"Such a shocker," I whisper to Linh.

"Shh, Tam," Linh says reprimanding me, but with a twinkle in her eyes.

"I am very grateful to the group that saved me!"

There were cheers.

"Look he's actually going to tell the rest of the elves that the Black Swan isn't bad," Dex says.

"Maybe you were wrong about him, Tam," Linh says.

"We'll see," I say rolling my eyes.

"The group that saved me has been fighting a war with the other group, without any of us noticing.  This war has been going on for years, and in the past few years this war has gotten worse!"

A spread of whispers of, war?

"Yeah, because we have the Moonlark," Wylie says.

"But this group has decided that they don't want to be hidden anymore, and that they want to work with the royals and council!"

"Uh what?" I mutter.  "Unless Sophie told the Prince after we left, I pretty sure we never said we wanted to work with them."

"We didn't," Linh agrees.

"Then what is the Prince going on about?" Dex asks.

"Maybe Sophie did tell him?"  Wylie offers.

"If she did we would have known about this," I say.

"The group that saved me is the Neverseen!  And the group that captured me was the Black Swan!"

Bum, bum, bum!

Two updates in two days?  I'm really getting the hang of this 'updating on time' thing!  I thought it was a myth!

I'm really happy with this update!

BQ:  What are the nicknames that Keefe gives Sophie?

PQ:  If you could have one superpower what would it be?

Mine would either be, shape-shifting or invisibility.
