Tears blurred her vision, but she wiped them away as she remembered she must work fast

She knew what she had to do now.

So, as she draped the black cloak over her shoulders and slipped in draggers, knives, goblin throwing stars, and a few gadgets that tinker and Dex invented into the many hidden pockets in her outfit and boots, she didn't cry

She didn't cower

Didn't hide

She kept her head high and looked them straight in the eye as she positioned her feet into a battle stance, readjusting her grip on her longsword

She was not the small, innocent, scared 12 year old girl anymore

She was not only the leader of team valiant 

She was not only the moonlark

She was Sophie Elizabeth Foster-Ruewen

And this time, she was not going to let them win

This time, she was going to take them down

Even if it meant going down with them
