Ships in this fanfiction:
-Sophie and Fitz -Biana and Tam -Marella and Dex -Linh and Wylie
This is a fanfiction that starts 20 years after Sophie is 19. So basically, Sophie is 39 years old. But for now, let me catch you up on what has happened:
After Keefe has had his "transition" (from Legacy) Tam escapes the Neverseen with Glimmer. When Glimmer goes to see Keefe, he wakes up from his "coma" and Keefe runs away and joins the Neverseen. Not as a spy, but as a real member. Determined to be the rulers of the Lost Cities. To destroy the Council. And all the goals the Neverseen has.
Glimmer reveals herself as Raya Hawkesfire, and explains her story. She was forced to join the Neverseen even if she did not support them. She was forced to join or her family would die. Her family were the people that started Foxfire, and it was originally called Hawkesfire. Over time it changed, and yeah.
Back to the story though: Everyone was depressed by Keefe's betrayal, and it took them quite some time to get over it. Soon after they learned that the Neverseen plans to steal 7 jewels, that can apparently make your abilities stronger. No one knows where they are. These jewels were hidden by Ancients, and they only have a riddle to help them. (I might make a fanfic about this, no sure). In the end they get 5 of the 7 jewels. The Neverseen got the 2 other jewels...
Continuing, Raya joins the Black Swan and gives what information she knows to them telling that they want to make the Blood Lake run red with their blood when Sophie Foster is 17. They start to prepare, and when Sophie is 17, Oralie is kidnapped. They go to the Blood Lake, since Sophie recently turned 17, it made sense. When they arrive they ambush the Neverseen, and a battle breaks out. The Neverseen start to win, because the Black Swan underestimated how many people (from Neverseen) would be there. The epic battle lasts for 3 days and 3 nights. By the third night, Sophie Foster is the only one that isn't on the sidelines. She goes up against Lady Gisela, Fintan, Brant(who survived), Vespera, Keefe, and more. Sophie then calls on a massive power, that is called Lorvalis. Lorvalis can only be called on by the strongest most powerful elves of all. This calls all the inteligent speices (Amy came, but all other humans did not). Lorvalis is also when a elf connects all his/her powers together, to make a force so powerful it is impossible to defeat. The Neverseen surrender and everything becomes peaceful. No one is scared anymore.
Sophie, Dex, Biana, Marella, and Stina go to the Elite Levels. Soon after Tam and Biana start dating. So do Dex and Marella. By Midterms, Sophie and Fitz are dating. Linh and Wylie are too. They graduate (when Sophie is 19 years old), and 3 years( when Sophie is 22 years old) later all of them are MARRIED!
Soon after the kids come and yeah. This is a fanfic about the kids fighting ------- oops, that is a spoiler. Cross my heart I will not tell anymore spoilers.

Now... ONTO THE STORY:
Chapter 1 - 3rd POV:[]
As sunlight passed through the curtains in her bedroom, Athena stretched her arms and yawned. A smile stretched out on her face, it was her first day as a Level 1 at Foxfire. To be correct, it was the opening ceremony and she, Athena Faith Vacker was so excited. Joy was stretched across her face as she looked across the room to where her twin Artemis lay. Artemis’s eyes darted from where they were looking out the window to meet her twin’s.
“I am so excited! Can you imagine! The Opening Ceremonies! And we are gonna be in it! OMG! OMG! OMG! I can’t believe it!” Artemis said while pushing herself out of bed and ran to open the curtains.
“I can’t believe it either! Now stop talking immensely fast and get ready!” Athena said, as she got out of bed and went to their bathing room nearly tripping over herself. As the girls started to wash their hands, faces, and teeth, their mother: the great Sophie Foster -now Sophie Vacker- came in. Behind her two costumes were levitating. With a sweep of Sophie’s arm, the costumes put themselves down on a couch that was against a wall. The twins faced their mother as she began to talk:
“This is an important event, so I expect your best behavior, as always. I never did Level 1, so you will have to tell me all about it ok?”
“Ok mom. And, you should not tell us to behave, but tell little 2 year old Bianca!” The two girls leaned in and kissed their mothers cheek.
Athena's and Artemis's Dress
“I have already reminded her, and you father is-” But she was cut off by her husband:
“Here!” Fitzroy Avery Vacker said wrapping an arm around his wife kissed her brow and then led her out.
“Don’t forget to change!” Their mother told while looking back at them with a loving, yet scolding glance. Fitz chuckled and they left. Athena started to use telekinesis to lift a book up while she brushed and braided her hair. Artemis pulled on a loose blue skirt with a white ruffle shirt on. Athena then put on a matching outfit and Artemis started to braid her hair.
“Come on! Hurry up! I am hungryyyy!!!” Artemis complained
“Sorry, I'm just doing the buttons... A little help here?” Artemis responded while throwing a glare her sister's way.
"I will help you so you can do it quicker and I can go to breakfast quicker." Artemis says running to Athena and doing the buttons on the back of the dress.
Once the buttons were done, the 2 girls raced down to the dining room where they had breakfast. The room was spacious with a breakfast bar, a drink station, 2 big tables that sat 15 and a bunch of smaller tables that sat 6, 4, and 2 people. Already, a man: their father, a woman: their mother, 15, 6, and 2 year old sat at a table by a big floor to ceiling length window.
“Girls?” Sophie asked.
‘We are here. Just let us get some breakfast.” The twins replied in unison.
So that is the end(?) of Chapter 1. Is it long enough, cause' I was not sure. Anyway, I will only put when someone transmits when they are in 2nd point of view. Onto chapter 2:
Chapter 2 - Athena's POV:[]
This is important for this chapter, so here ya go:
Italic: Thoughts
Underline Italic: Transmition (when someone transmits)
As Artemis and I sashay through the tables I start to thinks about our different personalities:
Artemis and I both get good grades, but I have a tendency to like school more, and enjoy studying. Both of us are sportsy, but Artemis rather do sports than study…
I then feel the bubbling energy of Artemis’s mind connect with my ocean calm mind:
Hey! Artemis transmits.
Do you think I should take elderberry tea or Calla’s pancake tea? I say as we each grab trays that float beside us as we move to the drink station.
You choose! I would never choose for you, unless immensely necessary, we are free peeps! My twin responds
I did take elderberry tea yesterday so maybe Calla’s pancake tree… I wonder what I should take.
True, true. You are the “smart one” after all. My sister's voice fails to be cheerful.
No I am not, we are both smart, I just like being smart. We are both sportsy but you are more than me. I retort, not wanting her to down herself.
… The silence is uncomfortable.
That makes sense. Thank the Council! I think and silently chuckle at the little thought as I serve myself Calls’s pancake tree tea. We move down to the breakfast bar and place custard bursts, fruit, and parante (I made this up. Basically, imagine waffles with melted chocolate chips inside, caramel glaze on the bottom, and a fruity flavor topping on the top) on our plates. We place our plates on the floating trays and go to the table where our parents are sitting with our siblings.
"Hello," Dad says as we approach.
"Hiya!" Bianca, the youngest of us, who is 2 years old screams.
"Hey younger sis's," Kenric, our older brother says, not looking up while he reads and eats.
"Hello my dears. Why are you not in your costumes?" Mom asks her eyes full of laughter as they meet my dads.
"We didn't want to wear or ruin them, so we will put them on at the last minute..." Artemis outbursts.
"Artemis!" I whisper to her "Now they know..."
“May you repeat that?” Mom says eyeing Dad and then standing up to face us.
“Sophie, honey, let me remind you that you did not want to wear them either. Or did you?” Dad says and the way he looks at Mom tells me that they are talking telepathically. Dad to the rescue!!! I think and I dance inside.
Thank the council Dad is here! Artemis says in my mind. Dad then stands up, takes Mom by the waist and using telekinesis levitates them besides them and leads Sophie to the drink station to refill their cups.
Chapter 3 -- Sophie’s POV:[]
As the twins Artemis and Athena got their food, I looked down at my tea cup, lifted it and took a sip. I started to think about Everfield:
Calla’s pancakes tree moved here, to Everfield when I moved in.
Everfield is a mix of Everglen and Havenfield. I wanted to take Havenfield with me, and Fitz wanted to take Everglen so he made Everfield for us. Now we live here, Everfield has the animals roaming around, and a beautiful big elegant mansion/manor.
When I first moved in, Calla’s tree was not here and I was sad, because I visited Calla’s tree often. The next morning, Calla’s tree was on a hill that I could see from the balcony of Fitz and my bedroom.
A voice interrupted my thinking:
Are you okay? I knew this handsome voice. Memorize it. The voice of my #1 on my match list and husband: Fitzroy Avery vacker.
I responded: Yes, fine. Are you?
I am fine, but I was not the one tossing and turning all night. Ughh… Sometimes I don’t like how overprotective Fitz can be of me…
I… Today… Today is the day Keefe betrayed us... My mind murmurs to Fitz’s.
"Hello," Fitz says to who I know are the twins.
"Hiya!" Bianca, our youngest of 2 years old screams. I tell her to not scream telepathically, and she says ok.
"Hey younger sis's," Kenric, our eldest son says, not looking up while he reads and eats.
"Hello my dears. Why are you not in your costumes?" I ask my eyes full of laughter as they meet Fitz’x.
You looked like you did not enjoy wearing it when you first tried it on. Thank the Council Della likes to take photos of everything! I tell Fitz telepathically
"We didn't want to wear or ruin them, so we will put them on at the last minute..." Artemis outbursts.
"Artemis!" Athena whispers to her "Now they know..."
“May you repeat that?” Mom says eyeing Dad and then standing up to face us.
YOU also did not like wearing the costumes, if I remember correctly, love? Fitz’s mental voice is full of laughter and mockery.
Ugh...
“Sophie, honey, let me remind you that you did not want to wear them either. Or did you?” Fitz says and then grabs me by the waist, lifts our tea cups using telekinesis and leads me to the drink station. The minute my back is turned away from the kids my face drops. I feel like millions of bricks have been placed on my shoulders, and only my face is showing my reaction. and Fitz kisses me lightly and murmurs:
“Try not to think about it, it makes it worse…”
“I know, but he was an amazing friend, only to have betrayed us!!!” I whisper shout the last part.
“...” Fitz it silent. I realize I screamed lightly…
“Oh... Fitz, I am so sorry… Remember, it is not your fault…” I murmur.
“Is it though?” He responds and he has a “far-away look”.
NO it is not. You did nothing. It was his fault entirely! Do not blame yourself. I need you Fitz. You are the one I love! Remember that! I hope my words soothe him…

Thank you, my dear Sophie. I love you too. I smile at his words, and take my tea cup, as we have arrived at the drink station. I fill up my cup with Calla’s pancake trees tea. I lift it to my face and take a long sip. Chamomile, lavender, chrysanthemum filled my mouth. Fitz fills his cup and takes a drink, and his face smiles. His voice fills my mind, once again: You look beautiful today! He says while his eyes run over my dress. I was wearing a light gray dress that pulls up at the waist. ,
Fitz was wearing a black suit with a red tie. I am thinking about changing into the red dress Biana got me last month... I keep the telepathic connection going and Fitz responded:
You do look beautiful in red, but you look beautiful at all times. Fitz reminds me of this everyday.
