CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

The second elf stepped forward, holding out her hands to Sophia. “I’ll gladly take that which burdens you.”

A confused expression jumped to Sophia’s face. She glanced at Ainsley, hoping that she could interpret.

She pointed at the sword sheathed on Sophia’s hip. “She means that.”

“Oh, Inexorabilis isn’t a burden,” Sophia argued. “It’s pretty much why I’m alive.”

“When we bring weapons with us, we prepare the world to fight us,” the hippie explained in an airy tone.

“Right.” Sophia drew out the word. “That’s why monsters keep trying to kill me.” She gave Ainsley an annoyed look. “Why didn’t you simply tell me to leave my sword at the Castle? Then I wouldn’t be in mortal danger on a regular basis.”

“Slipped my mind, S. Beaufont.”

“I’ll get it back, right?” Sophia asked the woman.

She nodded. “If you wish to burden yourself with it after your underground journey to the ghosts of our ancestors, we will not deny you this. We are allowed to make mistakes because it is your voyage to heal your past lives, not mine.”

Sophia was pretty sure she might throw up, but instead, she unfastened her sword from her side and handed it over to the elf, who took it with an unpleasant expression.

The third and final woman stepped in front of Sophia. “My job is to remove the bonds that have weighed you down, restricting your movement and your soul’s expression.”

Sophia looked at Ainsley, her expression saying, “What the hell is she talking about?”

“Elderberry is going to change your clothes.” Ainsley indicated the woman.

Looking down at her bare feet, leather pants, and black cloak Sophia shrugged. She’d already lost her sword and her dignity with her hair. So what if they put her in flowy plants? “Sure, go ahead, Elderberry.”

The elfin woman smiled. “This will feel magnificent, and I dare say, you’ll never want to weigh yourself down with dark colors that obscure your soul again.”

Sophia didn’t think her soul particularly cared what she wore, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she squeezed her eyes shut as if preparing for a painful injection. With her eyes closed, she felt the tight top and pants disappear from her body, replaced by loose-fitting clothes. She opened her eyes and glanced down to find she was wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and bohemian pants.

“Isn’t that better?” the woman asked in a serene voice.

“I do feel different,” Sophia admitted.

Dirty…she felt dirty. That’s how she felt different with her unwashed and unbrushed hair and bare feet.

Sophia found it ironic that in their attempts not to be regulated by society, these hippies threw out conformity and in refusing societal norms, made not conforming a rule.

“You are ready to proceed to your destiny.” The last elf held her arm out to the door where Dakota had disappeared.

Following Ainsley, Sophia strode through the door that slid out of their way as they approached. She found the leader of the elves waiting for her on the other side.

Dakota gave her an appreciative look when he took in the sight of her with her new ’do and threads.
