Think Only of Me\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Enzo turned around, he saw that Cira was being swallowed by the darkness. He tried to hold her to prevent the darkness from taking her, but in the end, he couldn\u2019t. The darkness covered her completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the darkness engulfed her entirely, Cira felt fear, pure terror. In the darkness, she screamed and kicked, but it was all useless; it was as if her body didn\u2019t belong to her anymore. She had lost all control of her body and wondered if that meant she was already dead. Then she heard a deep, icy voice speaking directly to her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCira, let me in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira tried to see who was speaking to her, but she couldn\u2019t move and could only see darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you? Show yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t show myself, I don\u2019t have a physical body. I need you to let me inside you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet you inside?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, let me inside you. I need a physical body, and in return, I will give you power.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if I refuse?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you refuse, you will remain weak and never become queen. You will always be in the shadow of your father and brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something Cira had always hated was the fact that her father never considered her his heir. She was the youngest and therefore not considered the heir princess. There was always someone ahead of her, first Abril, and when she got rid of her, Enzo took her place. She was never considered by her father to be his heir, no matter how hard she tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I give my answer, tell me who or what you are?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am one of the underworld princesses, strong and powerful. If you let me in, you will become just as strong and powerful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what will happen to me when I let you in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will be powerful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds tempting, but what is the price I must pay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a small price compared to what I will give you. You will just let me stay inside you and\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Think Only of Me\u00a0<\/p>\n
take care of a few things; you won\u2019t even notice I\u2019m there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira thought about it for a moment. She wanted to be strong, so she accepted the proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I will let you in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood answer. I assure you that no one will be able to stand against you. You will gain everything you\u2019ve ever desired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now what do I do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust stop fighting, let the darkness invade you completely.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira did what that voice told her. She stopped fighting against the darkness, allowing it to enter into her, consuming her completely. She became one with the darkness and could feel power and strength flooding every part of her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo remained at the top of the stairs, afraid of being swallowed by the darkness. He stood staring into the darkness. He had never loved his sister. In fact, he hated her. She was a nuisance and wanted to kill him, and the feeling was mutual, but seeing that she had died gave him no satisfaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The darkness began to fade, and a red flame appeared where Cira had been swallowed by the darkness. It was a peculiar fire, as if the darkness and flames were merging. Enzo used his fire to light up the area and see what was happening. At that moment, his fire clearly illuminated his sister in the midst of that strange fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCira, are you alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira stretched her arms and head slightly, as if adjusting herself. She responded with a strange voice, as if her voice was overlapping with another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo felt an eerie chill. Although she looked the same as his sister, something told him she was no longer her. He stepped back and tripped over the last step of the staircase.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not my sister, who are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira laughed and replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am the same. No.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She corrected herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I am better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

***\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian woke up startled, not feeling Maya in his arms. He didn\u2019t know when he had drifted off. He looked around and saw her on the balcony, gazing into the distance. Cassian got out of bed, approached her, and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you get any sleep?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I slept a little.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you been awake long?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I just woke up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you looking at?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything and nothing really. I\u2019m still overwhelmed. This place is incredible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door. Two fairies entered, one with green skin and the other pink, carrying colorful linen garments in their arms. They placed them on the bed, and one of them said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe queen will grant you an audience. Please take a bath and change your clothes before seeing her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The green\u2013skinned fairy opened a door in the room, revealing a large stone bathtub. The water was milky white and seemed to glow. One of them took Maya\u2019s hand and led her inside, starting to undress her without saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey! What do you think you\u2019re doing?\u201d Exclaimed Maya.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m helping you take a bath.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can do it myself, so leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other fairy glanced at Cassian, seemingly intending to do the same to him, so before she said anything, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can bathe myself too, so you can leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we have orders to help you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, we\u2019ll be outside. Let us know when you\u2019re done with the bath, and we\u2019ll take you to the queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
315\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Think Only of Me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about our friends? Are they going too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, they are being looked after right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the two fairies left, Cassian paused at the door, watching Maya for a moment. She had already taken off all her clothes and was getting into the bathtub. She said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you going to stand there watching me, or will you come in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian entered and asked,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMind if I join you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, get in here, unless you want that fairy girl to help you with your bath.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian took off his clothes, immediately got into the bathtub, and responded while wrapping his arms around her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely prefer you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think? Not sure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian laughed and replied,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe not much. You\u2019ve been ignoring me a lot lately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not true, I was just a bit busy, like I said.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya wanted to change the subject and said to him,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis water is strange, isn\u2019t it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian had been lost watching Maya, so he didn\u2019t realize it until she mentioned it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right, it\u2019s strange, although I think everything here is strange.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree with you, everything here is strange, but beautiful at the same time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough you are more so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeautiful or strange?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya wrapped her arms around his neck, gave him a kiss, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not far behind either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He brushed Maya\u2019s hair off her shoulders and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
4\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
:.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tunk Only of Me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we should hurry, we shouldn\u2019t keep the queen waiting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya knew this perfectly well, but she wanted to enjoy that moment with Cassian because\u00a0<\/p>\n
she didn\u2019t know if it would be the last. She kissed him passionately and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust this once.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the queen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cForget about her for a moment, I\u2019m naked in front of you, don\u2019t you want me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course I do, you already know that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, think only of me for a moment, focus on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian knew he should think about his mission, but that request seemed like a plea. He had no will to refuse, so he returned the kiss and agreed to her request.\u00a0<\/p>\n
