Tam whistled. “And to think, when I left Exillium, I thought my life

“Actually, it’d probably be better if we just borrow that crystal,”
Sophie admitted. “I don’t know if it’ll be bad to show up at the hive
with extra people.”
Linh pouted. “But . . . I want to see the baby alicorns.”
“They’re not there yet,” Sophie reminded her. “And I promise I’ll
bring you to them as soon as I can, okay?”
Linh sighed but agreed, ordering Tam to be careful as she handed
him her necklace.
“Yay, we’re light leaping again!” Tarina said when they stepped into

forest, and their momentum as they exited the void sent them toppling
into the trees.
She’d have to make sure things went much smoother when it was
time to bring the baby alicorns there.
