Chapter Twenty-Six

Ant-freaking-arctica. That’s where Mae Ling had sent Sophia and Lunis, and it was cold. Really freaking cold. The sun was up, which was something at least, providing them with light to see their surroundings, which were unsurprisingly not that diverse. It consisted of snow, ice, glaciers, freezing cold water, and a clear blue sky.

I guess it makes sense this is where an ice queen would live, Lunis reasoned, landing in the snow and looking out at the miles of white.

It was so bright it made Sophia’s eyes water, and the air was so biting it hurt her bones.

“I still don’t understand what this queen rules over,” Sophia mused, looking around and wondering where the fortress was. She should have asked Mae Ling more questions, not that there had been time for such things.

Snow, Lunis offered. Maybe cold. Or silence.

That piqued Sophia’s interest. “Actually, that’s what Mae Ling said when I asked her how to help Quiet. She said I should go to a place that’s plentiful with silence.”

Lunis glanced around at a iceberg peacefully floating in the distance on the blue water and the miles of ice that stretched out around them. I think this is the quietest place I’ve ever heard of.

“Ha-ha,” Sophia said and shook her head at her dragon. “That was by far the worst joke you’ve ever made.”

Really? The worst? he questioned. I’m sure I can beat that. I’ll borrow one of your sister’s jokes.

“Hey,” Sophia argued. “Liv’s jokes are funny.”

They are punny, which counts for negative credit, he stated.

“You know, at some point, you two are going to have to try and get along.”

Why? he asked his tone serious.

“For my sake,” she begged.

Why else.

She pursed her lips at him and slid off his back.

What? Lunis questioned. I need a little extra motivation is all. I mean, I want to do things for you like save your life and help you fight battles and save people. But do I really have to get along with your sister? She calls me Stanley and Clifford and treats me like I’m a big dog.

“You sort of are,” Sophia said with a laugh.

It’s true, but don’t ever tell her that, Lunis teased, joining in her laughter.

It felt wrong they were having a good banter when she knew her friends were battling mysterious bad guys at the Gullington. She reasoned they were bolstering their spirits before the battle began.

Mae Ling had said they’d have to fight villains and win the queen’s allegiance to get the antidote. There were still so many questions. Who was this queen, and why was she in the middle of a place uninhabitable to most? What did she rule over? What was this antidote?

Maybe it’s a piece of a glacier? Lunis reasoned.

“Well, I’m not sure that will work since I’ve got to get it back to the Gullington.”

Yeah, and then there’s the question of who poisoned Quiet, Lunis added seriously.

“I still feel like I should be fixing the Castle.” Sophia had the strongest urge to abandon the mission and go on her way, but that wasn’t what her instinct told her.
