A Silly Fairy\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Abril found out Maya was at the camp, she ran over and, upon seeing her, threw herself into\u00a0<\/p>\n
a hug, exclaiming,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a joy to see you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya returned the hug and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I would never see you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, I thought the same, I believed I\u2019d never see you all again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Maya could respond, Ethan shouted angrily,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are here to take you. That woman is a traitor. She has told the fairy queen everything about who you are and what you can do. Stay away from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stepped away from Maya in surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya\u2019s expression darkened, and she loathed herself for betraying them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril, I\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to betray you but\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou probably didn\u2019t have a choice, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI really didn\u2019t want to reveal your secrets to the fairy queen, but I couldn\u2019t help it. I can\u2019t lie, I tried to hide it, but she is too clever, she can\u2019t be deceived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril took Maya\u2019s hands and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe you, Maya, after all, you can\u2019t lie, right?\u201c>\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I have no reason to doubt you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya hugged her and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much for believing me, for trusting me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are my friend and I know you wouldn\u2019t do anything to hurt me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan pulled Abril away from Maya and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just wants to use you, can\u2019t you see? It\u2019s true fairies can\u2019t lie, but they can bend the truth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fay was starting to get annoyed with Ethan\u2019s attitude and replied,\u00a0<\/p>\n
1.5\u00a0<\/p>\n
CA Silly Fary\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clairry\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFairies with a long life learn to do it, but Maya is just a child and new to the whole, not being able to lie about things. She doesn\u2019t know how to disguise the truth, so stop talking nonsense, you\u00a0<\/p>\n
know she\u2019s not lying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t say the same about yourself, you do know how to disguise the truth, nothing that comes\u00a0<\/p>\n
out of your mouth is true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElf, this doesn\u2019t concern you, so why don\u2019t you shut your mouth and stop interfering?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan felt an urge to punch Fay. He was about to jump on him but Dantriel stopped him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalm down Ethan, this is not something you should interfere in, the decision to help them or not is\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dantriel arrived early that morning to find them. He hadn\u2019t had time to explain anything so he just mentioned Maya and Abril\u2019s proposed departure. Alessandro had followed her and didn\u2019t wait for him to say anything either. Alessandro spoke,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you explain what this is all about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have come to take her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan shouted, very agitated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro\u2019s face darkened, he didn\u2019t know if what Ethan was saying was true or false, but what he was sure of was that no one would take his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care why they\u2019ve come, but no one will take Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like you have options, king of humans, you\u2019re obliged to cooperate with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro drew his sword and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you lay a hand on my wife, you won\u2019t live to tell the tale.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril stepped between Alessandro and Fay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalm down, Lessan, let\u2019s hear them out first before making any decisions, please.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro sheathed his sword and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, but I won\u2019t let anyone separate you from me\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril turned to Fay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you tell us what you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy desires don\u2019t matter; it\u2019s my queen\u2019s desires. We are being attacked right now by an army of monsters born from darkness, and our weapons are useless against them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you looking for blessed weapons?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
215\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\u00a0<\/p>\n
< A Silly Fairy\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need weapons; we need your blessing. The elven royalty don\u2019t leave their kingdom, so they won\u2019t help us. But you are different; they don\u2019t know about you yet. You can come to fairyland and bless our weapons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro stepped between Fay and Abril, reaching for his sword as he said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe won\u2019t go anywhere with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not in a position to refuse. If you don\u2019t help us\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A loud explosion echoed in the distance, followed by the roar of thousands of monsters. Alessandro cursed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn it, it had to happen now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re under attack; I have to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro kissed her forehead and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be back soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro shot Fay a murderous look and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStay away from my wife. If you harm her, I\u2019ll kill you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian quickly donned his armor as Maya approached him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me come with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m heading to the battlefield; it\u2019s too dangerous. You should stay here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m coming too. You know I\u2019m an excellent warrior; let me help you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian leaned in, his forehead touching Maya\u2019s, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s like hell out there. I don\u2019t want you in a place like that; I couldn\u2019t forgive myself if anything\u00a0<\/p>\n
happened to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel the same way. I don\u2019t want anything to happen to you. Let me come with you and watch your\u00a0<\/p>\n
back; let me protect you while I can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya kissed him, silencing him, and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t take no for an answer. If you don\u2019t let me come now, I\u2019ll follow you later. I\u2019ll find you on the\u00a0<\/p>\n
battlefield, no matter what.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so stubborn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\u00a0<\/p>\n
< A Silly Fairy\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s what you love about me, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian kissed her and replied,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that\u2019s one of the reasons I fell in love with you, though right now I wish you weren\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d better give me a weapon, and let\u2019s go before we\u2019re left behind.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Maya leaving with Cassian, Fay said to her,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaya, you shouldn\u2019t go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I don\u2019t listen to the man I love, why would I listen to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fay sighed heavily and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust don\u2019t die out there. I\u2019d be in serious trouble with the queen if I don\u2019t take you back in one\u00a0<\/p>\n
piece.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I don\u2019t plan on dying here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya left with Cassian. Dantriel almost dragged Ethan out. Ethan was complaining that he didn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
want to leave, that he wanted to stay to protect Abril. He was cursing Fay and also threatening\u00a0<\/p>\n
him, saying he would kill him if he dared to take her away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When everyone left the tent and only the two of them remained, Abril asked Fay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, if I help the queen out, could she let Maya go?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to negotiate with her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fay scratched his head and replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll go for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Maya has caught the queen\u2019s attention, she\u2019s her favorite, she won\u2019t let her go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen she\u2019s not getting my help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not in a position to negotiate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNeither is she.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril replied, then left the tent and headed to the entrance of the barrier. All the soldiers were prepared. Among the crowd, in the front row, Abril saw Alessandro and in front of him, behind the\u00a0<\/p>\n
barrier, a horde of ink\u2013black monsters of all shapes and sizes clawing at the barrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril lifted her gaze to the sky and prayed to God to take care of her husband and her friends, that\u00a0<\/p>\n
4\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n

Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
they would return safe and sound. She repeated that prayer countless times as she watched them from a distance, as she had a bad feeling, sensing that something was not right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she watched them, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome back safe and sound, and please be careful\u00a0<\/p>\n
