Pendragon was in such merriment. The people and warlocks danced into the beautiful melody of the Pygmies. Flaire and the rest welcomed Sofia with such a proud look on their eyes. “We won!” Flaire blurted joyfully. Everyone seemed to do their parts. Sofia smiled. It ends now but what would happen next, she was not still decided yet.
“Hail to the Hunter!” Claw announced into the mob. Silence came and every eye touched Sofia. She curtsied with the book on her hand. There mob applauded. A boy stepped out of the crowd and yelled, “Hail to the Hunter!” Everyone followed. Sofia blushed. There was not much that she did. She turned to Chase and the young man smiled with a slight nod.
“Where’s Iris?” Flaire inquired.
Her smile faded. The rest exchanged a meaningful glances with each other. Flaire took a sigh. It was not a good question to ask. Her eyes became wet with tears that could fall anytime, “She die saving me.”
Claw patted her shoulders. “Iris die for the world. It was a worthy death and she shall be remembered forever.” Everyone offered a prayer for the loss of their beloved friend. Sofia buried her forehead on his shoulder. The young man cupped her face and offered a gentle kiss on it. Septh suddenly flew out of nowhere and screeched low. The phoenix finally rested its talons on her arm. Sofia smiled and rubbed the phoenix’s beak.
