After dinner, Abril took the children and a maid guided Maya and Cassian to their rooms, which were next to each other. Before entering her room, Maya said goodbye to Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood night, prince charming, see you tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Maya closed the door, Cassian told her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait a moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you changed your mind and want us to share a room?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The maid, who was still there, stared at them intently and then left. Cassian said to Maya,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t say things that could be misunderstood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what\u2019s up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you told the children a while ago about your eyes, is it true?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you curious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, yes. You know, golden eyes are rare to see, but actually, I\u2019ve never seen anyone with red\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose that\u2019s not a very common color either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what you said, is it true? Were your eyes a gift from a fairy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe there\u2019s some truth to what I said, but I\u2019m tired now, so I\u2019ll go rest. Another day I\u2019ll satisfy your curiosity about me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya entered the room and closed the door, leaving Cassian more curious than before. The next day, Maya got up very early as she usually did. She went out to the balcony, wanting to feel the first rays of the sun caressing her skin. While enjoying the warm morning, she looked at Cassian, who was running in the garden, looking very active. She decided to approach him, stepping into his path, and asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you running from?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not running from anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you running as if you were?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just getting in shape.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was drenched in sweat. He wiped the sweat from his face with his shirt, leaving his abdomen exposed. Maya stared at him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lore Forest\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already have a good body; I don\u2019t think you need to work on it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
125 Prints\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not referring to that. Until very recently, I had an injury in my leg. I couldn\u2019t stand for long and running was out of my reach. I couldn\u2019t even walk fast without falling, but now that that\u2019s no longer a problem, I want to do everything I couldn\u2019t do before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe princess healed you with her magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian squeezed his leg, remembering the pain he had felt for several years, the helplessness of\u00a0<\/p>\n
having to drag his leg while walking, and replied,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right, thanks to her I\u2019ve regained my life. I\u2019ve become the m\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad that\u2019s the case and, especially because I like this version\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian blushed. Maya approached and said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour face has turned red, don\u2019t tell me you\u2019re embarrassed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really don\u2019t hold back, do you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I always say what I think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya got even closer to Cassian. He stepped aside and said to her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBreakfast will be soon. I\u2019d better go take a bath. I\u2019ll see you later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
before the injury.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya lingered a bit longer, appreciating the beautiful garden, then returned to the mansion. She met Abril, who was with the children, and they were heading to the dining room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood morning, Maya. Did you sleep well?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, thank you very much for asking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were going to have breakfast now, will you join us?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they headed to the dining room, Abril asked her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you known Cassian for long?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, actually I\u2019ve known him for a short time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian appeared behind them and asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout how you met,\u201d replied Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian looked at Maya, wondering how much she had told Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told her we\u2019ve known each other for a short time, replied Maya while putting her hand on his arm\u00a0<\/p>\n
III\u00a0<\/p>\n
as if to say,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Relax, I haven\u2019t told her anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alessandro had risen very early and met with his guards. One of them asked him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat should we do now, Your Majesty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
jes\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had been visiting the Forest of Lore because, for a few months, people from near had been disappearing, and all the clues pointed to one place: The Forest of Lore. However, they still hadn\u2019t found anything; that forest was enormous, making it very difficult for them to discover what was happening there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will return to the forest. I know the answers I am looking for are there, so prepare everything; we will depart as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they prepared everything, they set off for the Forest of Lore. That day, at the entrance of the forest, they saw a trail of blood, which they followed into the depths of the forest, leading them to a cave. Alessandro used his wind magic to determine the depth of the cave and what was inside. He could sense the presence of a strange creature within the cave; Alessandro didn\u2019t know exactly what was in there; all he knew was that the presence was unlike anything known.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro drew his sword and asked the guards to light some torches to illuminate the interior of the cave, which seemed to be shrouded in a darkness as thick ink, an unnatural darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sp\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took one of the torches from a guard and said to them,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not stray from me; there is something strange in this cave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guards followed the king, and upon entering the cave, they all felt a chill run through their bodies. The cave was shallow, and they soon reached the end, where something stirred in the shadows. Alessandro moved a little closer, and upon seeing what it was, he was stunned; it was the same creature that had attacked Abril a few days ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
