nothing.
But a chance encounter led Sophie Foster to discover Silveny in the Forbidden Cities, and Sophie was able to bring her safely to Havenfield. The Council left Silveny in Sophie’s care—but after the Neverseen tried to steal the precious creature, Sophie moved Silveny to the Sanctuary to be with Greyfell. Not long after, Silveny informed Sophie that she was pregnant. And when the Neverseen tried to capture the alicorns again, Sophie convinced the Council to set Silveny and Greyfell free so that the alicorns could hide from their enemies.
Sophie stayed in regular contact with Silveny and Greyfell—which was how she was able to get Silveny help when she went into early labor. The pregnancy turned out to be twins, and only with the help of the trolls—as well as Vika and Stina Heks—were both babies delivered safely. Silveny survived the birth as well, effectively resetting the Timeline to Extinction. But it’s only been a cautious improvement.
Four alicorns are better than one—but the species remains severely vulnerable.
Still, for now, the elves celebrate babies Wynn and Luna.
FOOD AND DRINK
THE ELVES FOLLOW A PLANT-BASED diet, but it isn’t the least bit limiting, because the gnomes cultivate an abundance of unique fruits and vegetables that are both healthy and delicious (even if the colors and textures may appear strange at times). Some gnomish plants taste like meat or various other human delicacies. Others are perfect for baking, which is why the Lost Cities are famous for their desserts (and their candies!).
There’s also a variety of flavored beverages to enjoy in the Lost Cities, but the most essential staple is called Youth (and rumored to be the source of human myths about a mysterious Fountain of Youth, which grants eternal health). Given its unique properties, this cool, slightly sweet water is often used medicinally—but that doesn’t mean it’s not also seen as a refreshing way to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Starkflower stew will never taste as good without Calla—but it’s a perfect way to remember her!
The candy is delicious—but everyone knows the best part about Prattles are the collectible pins inside!
Any flavor anytime—custard bursts are always AMAZING!!
SOPHIE’S FAVORITE FOODS
The secret Mentors’ cafeteria at Foxfire always has butterblasts available—it’s not fair that they don’t share!
Lushberry juice is the perfect blend of sweet and tart!
Mallowmelt is always a good idea—and one gooey slice is never enough!
POPULAR FOOD AND DRINKS IN THE LOST CITIES
BLITZENBERRY MUFFINS
Petite cakes that melt like butter when bitten into, filled with tart berries that fizz and pop on the tongue.
BRATTAILS
Tuber-style plants (shaped a bit like cattails) that are served roasted, and taste like the sausages that humans eat.
BUTTERBLASTS
Round, golden pastries topped with giant sugar crystals. They’re chewy like doughnuts, but taste like hot pancakes filled with a maple-flavored cream.
CINNACREME
A hot, thick beverage that tastes like melted snickerdoodles.
CUSTARD BURSTS
Square puffs that look like marshmallows but are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. They come in tons of flavors, but some of the most popular are chocolate, butterscotch, lushberry, chocolate-cherry, and caramel.
DAWNLINGS
Dark purple fruits grown from special seeds created by Calla. They taste warm, sweet, and tingly, like little slices of sunshine.
FIZZLEBERRY WINE
A bubbly, sweet beverage mulled from fizzleberries. It isn’t technically alcoholic, but its effect is similar, so the elves reserve it for adults.
FLAVORED AIR
A truly unique type of candy that turns breathing into a delicious experience. Flavored air comes in a wide variety of flavors and keeps the air sweet and mouthwatering for several minutes after popping open the can.
FLUFFCREAMS
A delicious flaky pastry filled with a cloud of honey, cinnamon, and butter. Perfect for dessert, a snack, or breakfast—or all of the above!
INDIGOOBERS
A messy, blue, bite-size candy cluster filled with sweet fruity juice that dribbles everywhere when eaten—which is half the fun of the experience.
LUSHBERRY JUICE
By far the most popular beverage in the Lost Cities. Lushberry juice manages to be both perfectly sweet and delightfully tart and tastes amazing with everything.
MALLOWMELT
A gooey cake covered in frosting and butterscotch, that tastes like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies soaked in ice cream.
NOIRSSELS
These silver-wrapped treats look like hard candies, and their dark color and squishy texture is reminiscent of a dead bug. But don’t be fooled—noirssels are so sweet and cinnamon-y and delicious that they can even take away the flavor of unpleasant medicines (which Sophie knows very well!).
PORCAROOT PIE
This surprisingly healthy pie is often served for breakfast. And while its strange purple color may seem unappealing, it tastes like bacon covered in gooey melted cheese.
PRATTLES
These chewy, peanut-butter-and-caramel-flavored candies are filled with cream and
