An Unbreakable Bond\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo smiled with amusement; he had always hated his sister for being a useless softie, and hearing her speak with such determination caught his interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand that you\u2019ve changed, kid sister, and that you have great power. I\u2019ve heard what you did to our father, how you defeated him, but are you sure you can win this war on your own?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not alone, can\u2019t you see?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been on the other side of the battlefield, and from there I\u2019ve seen a tired army that is gradually weakening. Our sister has an army of monsters; they are strong and disposable. If one dies, Cira brings more monsters from the abyss. From my point of view, you\u2019re not about to win; you\u2019re about\u00a0<\/p>\n
to lose.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was about to reply when the fairy queen spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean by saying your sister is bringing monsters from the abyss?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you want to know more, you\u2019ll have to accept an alliance with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo addressed Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat will you do, kid sister? Will you accept this alliance with me and become allies, or will you refuse and remain enemies?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril clenched her teeth tightly; she hated it when Enzo called her kid sister, especially because\u00a0<\/p>\n
she was older than him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI refuse to have anything to do with\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fairy queen interrupted, saying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI accept the alliance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril\u2019s eyes widened at the queen\u2019s response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnzo is the enemy; nothing good can come from allying with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve lived much longer than you, queen of humans, know when something will bring me\u00a0<\/p>\n
advantages and when it won\u2019t. I always back the winning side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnzo is not on the winning side but the losing one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you plan to fight on the front lines?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnswer my question honestly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
|||\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
An Unbreakate Bond\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen don\u2019t meddle in my decisions. He can give me crucial information to win this war, something that is truly valuable in times of war. You, on the other hand, can only heal my wounded like a\u00a0<\/p>\n
healer would. At this moment, between you and him, he is more valuable to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo smiled at what the queen had said to Abril; everything seemed to be going as desired. He\u00a0<\/p>\n
wanted to dethrone his sister, who was a diabolical being, and would kill him the moment he\u00a0<\/p>\n
ceased to be useful. But he knew he couldn\u2019t do it alone; his only hope was an alliance with the\u00a0<\/p>\n
other kingdoms, even if it hurt his pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have much time. What do you plan to do, sister? Will you accept the alliance or not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd how can I be sure this isn\u2019t a trap created by Cira?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll have to trust me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing is, I don\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand your distrust, but right now, it\u2019s not like you have many options, just as I don\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The queen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a way to ensure you won\u2019t betray us, Prince Enzo. We will seal this alliance with blood, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
it will be unbreakable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI accept.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril was surprised by her brother\u2019s quick response He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI must return to the camp before Cira realizes I\u2019m not there, so let\u2019s do this quickly. What do I have\u00a0<\/p>\n
to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fairy queen took an ivory dagger from her weapon belt and made a small cut on her hand, the\u00a0<\/p>\n
red blood falling to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo the same as I did.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo took the dagger the queen was offering him and did the same as the queen. Both blood\u00a0<\/p>\n
mixed as they reached the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s your turn, sister.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo said as he handed her the dagger. Abril hesitated for a moment before taking it, but she did so anyway, slashing the palm of her hand and letting her blood fall to the ground where the fairy queen\u2019s and her brother Enzo\u2019s blood was. The fairy queen began to say a few words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe blood alliance will not break until all present are dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
r\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
An Unbreakable Bond\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNone shall attack the other; we will be in harmony.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd none of the present shall kill the other; the punishment for breaking this sacred alliance will\u00a0<\/p>\n
be death.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The blood on the ground began to unite and turned into a sphere that rose from the ground, becoming a red thread that wrapped around each person\u2019s right hand. That mark burned; Abril felt as if it were being branded into her skin, and she cried out in pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhg!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo, on the other hand, just stared at the mark of a red thread around his wrist and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fairy queen, on her part, didn\u2019t even bat an eye. She answered Enzo\u2019s question while looking at\u00a0<\/p>\n
the red mark around her wrist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the proof of our alliance, a promise of peace between our kingdoms, which is unbreakable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If anyone breaks this alliance and attacks the other the mark will kill them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Enzo realized why the fairy queen was someone so formidable. She had taken\u00a0<\/p>\n
advantage of that moment to create not just an alliance but a bond to bind any potential foes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo addressed Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose with this, you\u2019ll put your doubts about me to rest; I can\u2019t betray you without dying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow tell us, what is this about Cira bringing monsters from the abyss?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the kingdom of Laios, there is a rift through which Cira is summoning monsters. She said that\u00a0<\/p>\n
this rift leads to the abyss or what you call Hades.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fairy queen seemed extremely surprised by what Enzo was revealing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did she find that rift?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently, it was a tiny rift that suddenly appeared in my kingdom. It was from there that the darkness that possessed our father emerged. Over time, it has grown larger, large enough to let something more powerful escape: a high\u2013ranking demon, one of the generals of Hades. He is inside my sister and has taught her how to summon monsters from that place. Although they are all low\u2013level monsters, the demon\u2019s true aim is to open the gates of Hades and unleash horrors beyond your imagination.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have any idea how we could defeat Cira?\u201d Abril asked, noticing the fairy queen was about\u00a0<\/p>\n
to ask the same question herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will only have one chance. To defeat her, use the element of surprise: go to her and attack\u00a0<\/p>\n

3\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clawn\u00a0<\/p>\n
< An Unbreakable Bond\u00a0<\/p>\n
when she least expects it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you suggesting we surprise Cira?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, to make this work, we all need to cooperate. We need a distraction to get Cira\u2019s attention. Then, I\u2019ll open a portal to place you right beside her When I do, you must deliver the final blow, younger sister. You must finish Cira off before she can react.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you want me to be the one to deal with our sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t deny it, but without my help, you\u2019ll never reach her. She\u2019s surrounded by countless\u00a0<\/p>\n
monsters. I\u2019m the only one she\u2019ll allow close enough to open a portal that will take you to her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
