When Abril woke up, the first thing she saw was Alessandro\u2019s worried face. She placed her hand on Alessandro\u2019s face, caressing his cheeks, and asked him, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Lessan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you yourself again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave I been someone else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother took over your body, don\u2019t you remember?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I actually don\u2019t remember anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did you do it? Why didn\u2019t you tell me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe seemed worried, anxious. I just wanted to help her. Did I do something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro hadn\u2019t told Abril about the elves, so she had no idea what she had done by letting her mother take control of her body. He pressed his forehead against hers and said, \u201cYou haven\u2019t done\u00a0<\/p>\n
anything wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why do I feel like I did something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro realized he couldn\u2019t hide the elves\u2018 existence from her any longer and had to tell her everything, even if he didn\u2019t like the idea at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t done anything wrong; I\u2019ve been the one doing things wrong to you, and I apologize for\u00a0<\/p>\n
that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing things wrong? I don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re trying to tell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something I discovered some time ago, and I didn\u2019t have the courage to tell you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Alessandro\u2019s serious face, Abril felt anxious. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, Lessan?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you know about your mother?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Alessandro asked that question, Abril realized she knew nothing about her mother. In the palace, they never mentioned her name, not even once. Whenever she asked questions, the maids would get annoyed, so she stopped asking about her, In truth, she knew nothing about her. She looked at him and answered his question with complete sincerity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know much about my mother. In the palace, no one ever mentioned her before, and every time I asked about her, I ended up being punished, so I stopped asking about her. Now that I think about it, I don\u2019t even know my mother\u2019s name. When she appeared in my dreams, I knew it was her, but I had never seen a portrait of her, yet I knew she was my mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI see, then I\u2019ll tell you who she was.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril waited in silence for Alessandro to speak. She couldn\u2019t hide the excitement she felt; for the\u00a0<\/p>\n
first time, someone would talk to her about her mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother\u2019s name was Sophia, and she was a princess of the elf kingdom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril remembered having read a book that mentioned elves, but it said they were extinct creatures,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and there was no certainty they had ever existed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAn elf princess? Do they really exist?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, although it was only a few months ago that I found out about it. Abril, your power is very special, more than you can imagine. The power of light is a power that comes from the elves which only the elven royalty possesses. You inherited that power from your mother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was so taken aback that she was at a loss for words. Alessandro continued, \u201cCassian, a friend of yours, met two elves; they are in the palace. Your mother went to see one of them, which is why she took over your body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre they friends of my mother? Can I meet them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s better if you don\u2019t, Aby. You must stay away from them. For them, a child born of an elf and a human is considered taboo; they might try to take you away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro caressed her cheek and said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to lose you, Aby. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve tried to hide you from ther\u00a0<\/p>\n
now they know of\u00a0<\/p>\n
your\u00a0<\/p>\n
existence. Now the only thing I can do is protect you. You must neve. yo near them; they\u2019re\u00a0<\/p>\n
dangerous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they\u2019re dangerous, why did my mother go to see them? I don\u2019t think she would have tried to put me in danger.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, Aby. I don\u2019t know why she went to see them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro hugged her and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t want you to see them. I couldn\u2019t bear it if they took you away from me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril had many questions, but seeing Alessandro so anxious and worried, she didn\u2019t want to ask anything more. She would have to wait to meet her mother in her dreams and ask her to clear up\u00a0<\/p>\n
all her doubts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As they returned to the main palace, Cassian asked Maya.\u00a0<\/p>\n

< An Amazing Experience \u201cAre you leaving?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but I\u2019ll be back soon enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I could accompany you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya knew what was coming next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you can\u2019t, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThings between my brother and the elves are very tense; I can\u2019t leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian looked worried, and she said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I always travel alone; I\u2019m used to it. Besides, I\u2019ll travel faster if I go alone. Unlike you, I can use more magic scrolls; it\u2019ll take me at most three days to go and come back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen are you leaving?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll leave early tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you really be alright on your own?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I assure you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya stretched her arms and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the end, I didn\u2019t get to ask the elves the questions I wanted to. I suppose I\u2019ll have to ask them\u00a0<\/p>\n
another time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want to ask them?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian felt curious and wanted to know what questions Maya wanted to ask the elves, but she didn\u2019t seem willing to talk, so he decided to change the subject.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite coming from so far, you\u2019ve only been locked in the palace. Would you like me to show you the city before you go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In reality, Maya had visited the kingdom\u2019s capital many times due to her work. She probably knew it better than the prince who lived locked in his palace, but she didn\u2019t tell the prince that. She smiled and replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d love to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian took Maya\u2019s hand and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFollow me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

They both snuck out of the palace, and Maya couldn\u2019t help asking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are we sneaking out of the palace?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to take guards with me. If they had seen us, they would surely want to accompany us,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and I don\u2019t want that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you want to be alone with me? Don\u2019t you think your room would have been a better place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian responded very nervously, his face flushed red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess I was the only one who enjoyed what happened yesterday. You seemed so into it that I thought you enjoyed it too, but I guess not. That must\u2019ve been awkward for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian stopped, turned to look at her, and with a serious face, said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true, I really did enjoy it. I\u2019ve never done anything like that before, but it was an amazing experience for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya had only been joking; she didn\u2019t imagine he would respond with such sincerity. She stole a kiss from him and said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was for me as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought you said it was just one of many for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
greedy a\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t. It was memorable for me too, which is why I\u2019m be\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several people turned to look at them. Cassian only realized they had reached the city at that moment. He was deeply embarrassed and said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should stop talking about this; everyone\u2019s watching us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya clung to his arm and said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019ll talk about it tonight. Remember, you still owe me an answer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So many things had happened that morning that Cassian had completely forgotten what they had\u00a0<\/p>\n
talked about earlier. Maya pulled him along when she saw he wasn\u2019t moving and said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s hurry, or it\u2019ll be nightfall, and the only thing I\u2019ll see is the city gate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I got a bit distracted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a smile, Maya asked:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you planning to take me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cassian hadn\u2019t thought about where to take her first since everything was decided on a whim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya seemed to realize this, so she suggested going to the commercial district where all the shops were. Cassian always hated passing through there because it was crowded, and people looked at him with pity when they saw him dragging his leg. Walking down that street was extremely painful due to his injury. But that wasn\u2019t the case anymore; he was walking normally again, and what he once considered a hellish walk, he now found extremely pleasant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They strolled through the crowded streets for a while until Maya said she was hungry and asked him to take her to a good restaurant. Cassian didn\u2019t know many places to eat; at that moment, only the caf\u00e9 Laila had taken him to once came to mind. Suddenly, he remembered that Laila had made him promise to have a date with her upon his return.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Cassian lost in thought, Maya asked:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs something wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just remembered I promised to do something when I got back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo our date ends here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you said you were hungry. Let\u2019s go; there\u2019s a caf\u00e9 nearby that sells delicious sweets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya loved sweet things, and upon hearing that she could eat delicious sweets, her mouth watered, and she said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you waiting for? Take me to that caf\u00e9 right now. I\u2019m not leaving those delicious sweets you talked about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
