this is an alternate universe fanfiction revolving in the world of KoTLC. it combines elements from a favorite video game series of mine: Assassin's Creed. this fanfic will see my interest in both combine in one, where the main character of KoTLC, Sophie Foster, is looking to discover balance within a shaken world, but for that, some will not live to tell the story. there will be a lot of mention to characters in the books and thus alternative portrayals of them, so do not take anything here for granted. Sophitz will be the dominant ship as i will seek to explore their strength as cognates in the fanfic's setting, however, as i am otherwise neutral, there will be other ship moments too. side note, i have not read KotLC, so my limited knowledge is from the official wiki, so i apologize if there may be some inaccurate portrayal.
synopsis
Sophie Foster was born with a single purpose; that of restoring balance to an otherwise broken world. But now the world hangs on the threads of fate, as the threat of the broken treaty becomes greater, day in and out. And it is none other than the Moonlark herself who must make her mark as she undertakes a challenge like none other... to discover the truth behind the cause of war. And failure is not an option. But as Sophie will discover... nothing is true, and no one is safe...
chapter 1: hold fast
this is occuring within a dream of Keefe's.
It was an early morning. I was barely just waking up, though I cannot help but look at Sophie. It wasn't everyday that I had this kind of moment with her. To think that maybe someday... why must I remember the weirdest of details sometimes? Sometimes I wish Fitz didn't exist, but then again, what would I know? I couldn't possibly even think badly of him either; he's like... the brother I never had. Okay, maybe I fancy the guy as a little more than a brother but no one needs to know that detail. But it does make this so much more awkward. Think I should stop for a hot minute though and get something ready to eat. I still want to impress Sophie after all. I still have hope, you know. Though, I'll admit, Fitz is one h*ll of a boyfriend. If I can't get with Sophie, maybe I could still make loving ends meet. Or maybe I should keep to myself. Oh wait... ah, crap. Keefe comes to a realization as he moves out of the bed, quietly. He should probably refrain from thinking too much; Sophie was prone to wake up any minute now and he's still not even ready. Not only that, but if Sophie knew the things he thought about... oh, boy. Forget the chance of a relationship ever happening. Though, give the guy some slack; he's known her for what, 4 years now. Even then, he'd much rather be safe with her so that he doesn't have to take his chances with Fitz. He'd never admit that detail though. Never.
