Sophia knew it might not be a good idea to present herself to Ethan using Abril\u2019s body. Doing so would reveal her existence. However, she couldn\u2019t let him keep searching for her, keep suffering because of her. She wanted to free him from the chains he had been carrying for more than 20\u00a0<\/p>\n
years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCould you leave us alone for a moment?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia said as she stared at Ethan. Cassian refused to leave them alone, but Maya and Dantriel dragged him out. When they were alone, Sophia took Ethan\u2019s hand and said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Ethan. Forgive me for all the harm I\u2019ve caused you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan caressed her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not true, you\u2019re still alive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI died 20 years ago, a few days after giving birth to my daughter. The body you\u2019re touching is\u00a0<\/p>\n
hers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter is special, Ethan. I was weak after giving birth and used all my magic, my very essence, to seal her magic. I wanted to keep her magic a secret so no one would use her as a\u00a0<\/p>\n
tool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you do something like that? Why didn\u2019t you take her to the elf kingdom? She would have been safe there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia shook her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that\u2019s not true. My daughter is of mixed heritage; she wouldn\u2019t have been welcomed in the elf kingdom either. You know what they do to those of mixed heritage. Even if she were my daughter, Father wouldn\u2019t have been lenient with her, so I decided to leave her among humans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you have to give your life?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is my everything, Ethan, and even though it\u2019s selfish of me, I want to ask you not to interfere in her life. Don\u2019t try to take her to our kingdom, and I ask you to keep her existence a secret.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSophia\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPromise me, Ethan, tell me you won\u2019t do anything that will bring sadness to my little one.\u201d \u201cYou say your soul is with her, your soul is still intact. You can use her body and stay by my side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ethan said as he embraced her. Sophia pushed him away and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019ve already lived my life, I would never take hers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I can\u2019t be without you, Sophia. I can\u2019t accept that you\u2019re no longer in this world, I can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia took Ethan\u2019s face in her hands and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if you don\u2019t accept it, I\u2019m long dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly your body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd soon my soul will be too. That\u2019s why I wanted to see you even though I knew it might not be a good idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI used my own soul to create the last seal, but when it breaks, I will disappear completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I won\u2019t allow that to happen, Sophia. I already lost you once, I can\u2019t lose you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat will be inevitable. You know that darkness has awakened, right? Abril is the strongest light mage born in centuries; her power is unmatched. To win this war, her power will be necessary. She must break all the seals to unleash all her magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care what happens with the darkness, or with the whole world, Sophia. Understand that you\u2019re the only one that matters to me. The rest can disappear completely, because a world without you can only turn to ashes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan looked directly into her eyes and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are my everything and you know it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEthan, you know that I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan stopped her from speaking, he kissed her suddenly and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you\u2019re going to say. No matter how many times you tell me, in my heart there will only\u00a0<\/p>\n
be you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro entered just as Ethan was about to kiss her again. He used his wind magic to push\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan away and said with a voice as cold as ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even think about putting a hand on my wife again if you want to stay safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dantriel drew his sword and pointed it at Alessandro.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if you touch my friend again, I will run you through with my sword.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hands Off My Wife\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro wrapped his arms around Abril to protect her and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy have you truly come to my palace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have come to help, but if you attack your allies, that means you\u2019re not trustworthy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI should be the one to say that. In this palace, there\u2019s only one thing that is untouchable, and that\u2019s my wife. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her will regret it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia intervened before things turned violent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough, young king, I respect you for being my daughter\u2019s husband, but watch your words. My friends are not to be taken lightly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you saying, Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThough this is your wife\u2019s body, right now, I am not her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am Sophia Larrens, daughter of the elf king Graham Larrens. They are my friends, and you owe\u00a0<\/p>\n
them respect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, you\u2019re using my wife\u2019s body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe allowed me to. There was something I needed to discuss with them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care who you are, but I won\u2019t let you use my wife\u2019s body as you ple\u00a0<\/p>\n
A misunderstanding was brewing, and Sophia wasn\u2019t sure how to handle it. Initially, she had thought to tell Ethan to stop searching for her and to promise never to reveal Abril\u2019s existence to her father, the elf king. What she never imagined was that Ethan would cling to her so much, and even less that Abril\u2019s husband would find out what she was doing. She let out a heavy sigh and spoke with authority.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough, stop acting like children. Since we\u2019re all here, let\u2019s take the opportunity to talk about the rise of darkness. That should be our primary concern right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what do you know about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro asked, still upset by the reprimand he had received.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMore than you can imagine, as I was once the wife of the king of Laios, Vritra Venobich. If anyone knows what Vritra is up to, it\u2019s me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
