The enchanted starry ceiling of the fairy garden glimmers above as Cate slips back through the hidden entrance, her breath still ragged from the undercover mission. She drags Ruby Daly, a frightened Orange, into the sanctuary. The air is thick with tension. In the center, amidst the glowing flora, sits the only Purple. Star clips glint in their hair as they stare at their tablet, selectively mute and communicating only through deliberate taps and intricate drawings. Cate and John Albon hover protectively, ensuring the most valuable member of the Children's League remains safe within their magical, isolated domain.
