25 Point\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira kept breaking things, apparently finding satisfaction in it. Enzo remained very still, observing every movement his sister made, and finally said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCira, what are you planning to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have many plans. Which one are you interested in? The ones I have with you or the ones I have with that witch Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m curious about both,\u201cEnzo replied, scared of what his sister might say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, with you, I\u2019ll be merciful. I\u2019ll let you live as long as you\u2019re useful to me, so if you want to keep breathing, you\u2019d better not get in my way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd with Abril?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira threw a vase to the floor, which shattered into thousands of pieces, and replied,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor her, my plans align with father\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose father didn\u2019t tell you, since he doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s worth mentioning. He wants her dead, says she\u2019s dangerous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira laughed and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat seems ridiculous to me. What could that witch do against us? She\u2019s a powerless fool without magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo had always been the most sensitive to magic in his family. On several occasions, he felt that Abril possessed a certain magic, although it was too weak for anyone else to notice. But he had never told anyone because if his father had known that Abril possessed magic, no matter how small the amount, he would have made her his successor, so he had kept it a\u00a0<\/p>\n
secret.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if she\u2019s not useless? What if she also has magic?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, whether she has magic or not, I\u2019ll kill her, but not before destroying everything she has.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira felt as if someone was watching her. She looked in the direction where Abril was with\u00a0<\/p>\n
her mother in a corner of the room. Cira smiled maliciously and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u05d5\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
guess I won\u2019t have to wait long to destroy that witch.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cira walked towards the corner where Abril was. Cira formed a ball of black fire in her right hand. Sophia took Abril\u2019s hand, and when Cira threw the ball of fire at them, they disappeared, in an instant, they found themselves in another place, which seemned to be the top of a tower. From that place, Abril saw something that terrified her: thousands of monsters were filling the training fields, and in the midst of them, she saw her father. Sophia said to her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dear, as you can see, the war is at the doorstep, and it seems Vritra suspects your powers. I don\u2019t think it will take long for him to attack us, so you must be prepared, Abril,\u00a0<\/p>\n
because without you, this war cannot be won.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril looked once more at that training field full of monsters. The sight seemed like a nightmare to her, and fear overwhelmed her. Sophia took her hand and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, you are very powerful, my dear.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I\u2019m not as powerful as you think? What if I can\u2019t fight when the time comes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril, not only does my blood run through your veins, but you also possess Vritra\u2019s blood. Proof of this is your reddish hair, but you didn\u2019t just inherit the color of his hair, you also inherited his magic. Like him, you have fire magic, although it hasn\u2019t awakened yet, but I\u2019m sure that when the time comes, it will awaken, and no one will be able to stand against you. Darkness won\u2019t be able to stand against you, just never forget who you are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vritra felt as if someone was watching him. He looked around until he found the person who was stalking him. That gaze came from the top of one of the palace towers, although there seemed to be no one in sight. He felt the presence of a person and used his dark magic to propel himself to the top of the tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Abril saw her father, she was startled. Her father stood in front of them with a fierce\u00a0<\/p>\n
look and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you? Show yourself immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophia stared at Vritra. Although many years had passed and his face was marked with some wrinkles and his reddish hair had a few white strands, for a moment, she seemed to see the young boy she had fallen madly in love with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had loved him with all her heart, and deep down, she still loved him. He walked towards them, a red flame appearing in his hand, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose I\u2019ll have to force you to come out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That flame of fire grew larger, spreading throughout the tower. Abril was terrified, even though her physical body wasn\u2019t in that place, she could feel the suffocating heat of the flames, the smell of smoke entering her lungs, making it hard to breathe. Sophia reacted, wrapping her\u00a0<\/p>\n

arms around her daughter and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cForgive me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

After her mother said that, Abril woke up trembling with fear. She was sweating and breathing heavily, her body hot as if she had been near flames, some parts even burning as if she had been burned. She tried to get up and go to the bathroom, seeking relief from water, but then the door opened. It was Alessandro. Seeing her red, sweaty skin and her struggle to breathe, he rushed to her side, took her by the shoulders, and asked, terror in his eyes at her suffering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAby, who did this to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril found it difficult to speak as she felt she couldn\u2019t breathe. With great difficulty, she asked him to take her to the bathroom. Alessandro did as she asked, took her to the bathroom, and put her in the bathtub, which was half\u2013filled. The water was cold, which gave\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro stayed by her side, holding her hand until she calmed down, and her breathing\u00a0<\/p>\n
returned to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you feeling better?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened to you? Did someone attack you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really not what you think, no one attacked me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour skin is red, and just a moment ago, you couldn\u2019t breathe. Do you really expect me to believe no one attacked you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the truth. I\u2019ve been in this room the whole time, and no one has entered.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro took Abril\u2019s face in his hands and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t believe that. Tell me who did it, or else I won\u2019t leave a stone unturned until I find the one who dared to lay a hand on you. I\u2019ll make them pay with their lives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
