Sofia was cradled in Fitz's arms, sobbing and clutching onto his night tunic. Fitz burst into the bathroom mere seconds after Sofia screamed, followed by Biana, Della, and Alden.
"Sofia? What happened?" Fitz asked, holding his sister close. Sofia had trouble talking through her sobs.

Della answered the door and saw a beautiful young woman waiting, holding a holopad and many papers. The girl looked to be around 19 or 20, her dark brown hair tied into many braids and tied into a bun. Her sapphire eyes were calm and calculated, and she wore a blue registry pendant around her neck that complimented her chocolate brown skin.
