Part II: Enormous Power\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian, upon seeing that the sun was already high and it was past noon, asked Maya, \u201cIt\u2019s late. Why didn\u2019t you wake me up earlier?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t slept much these days because you\u2019ve been taking care of me. You needed rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m completely fine, so you don\u2019t have to worry about me anymore. Since you\u2019re already awake, why don\u2019t you get up and let\u2019s eat something? Now that my stomach has stopped turning, I need a good meal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019ll get up now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian got up. While changing, Maya said, \u201cAbril has already left; she came to say goodbye this morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I should have accompanied her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, there\u2019s no use regretting what didn\u2019t happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right. We can only do what she asked us to do\u2013take care of little Lissana while she\u2019s away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes. Speaking of Lissana, I brought her a present.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s eat something and then go see Lissana.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s an excellent idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both of them headed to the dining room. After eating, Cassian asked one of the servants who was there\u00a0<\/p>\n
where Lissana was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess Lissana is in His Majesty the King\u2019s office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian got up, extended his hand to Maya, and said, \u201cShall we go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon arriving at Alessandro\u2019s office, Maya was surprised to see the proud king making funny faces to\u00a0<\/p>\n
entertain his little daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Lessan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCassian, thank God you\u2019re here. Between Abril\u2019s departure and Lissana crying every time I turn around, I haven\u2019t had a chance to do anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya took Lissana in her arms and said, \u201cTaking care of a baby is not easy. They feel lonely if you don\u2019t pay\u00a0<\/p>\n
attention to them. If you want, I can take care of Lissana.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI promised Abril that I would be close to Lissana.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can take care of her in the next room, so I would be close to her and continue fulfilling the promise I\u00a0<\/p>\n
made to Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Part II Enormous Power\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad it\u2019s like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lissana started crying. Maya rocked her in her arms. Alessandro said, \u201cI think she misses Abril. Ever since\u00a0<\/p>\n
she woke up, all she does is cry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s just that. I think Lissana is also hungry and needs a diaper change. I\u2019ll take her for a\u00a0<\/p>\n
moment; I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Maya left the room with Lissana, Cassian asked, \u201cHow can I help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a lot of backlog.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alessandro pointed to the documents on his desk and said, \u201cHelp me with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat have you been doing to accumulate so much work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it\u2019s just that-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNever mind, just help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian took some documents and asked, \u201cDo you think Abril has already arrived in the kingdom of\u00a0<\/p>\n
Laios?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose so. Sirius promised to send me a report daily. I guess he\u2019ll send it at the end of the day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope everything goes well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too. I hope they don\u2019t have any problems and can come back soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril spent the whole day taking care of the sick. They were all in a deplorable state. If she hadn\u2019t helped\u00a0<\/p>\n
them, they wouldn\u2019t have lasted more than two days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After treating the last patient, Sirius approached her and said, \u201cWe should leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s not good to stay in this place for too long. It\u2019s dangerous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, you\u2019re right. I have treated all the villagers, so we can leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a forest nearby. We\u2019ll camp there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds good. Just let me do one last thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you plan on doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to purify the land; otherwise, they won\u2019t be able to plant anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll go look for Taren.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go to the rice fields while everyone is sleeping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, make sure no one sees you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril tightened her cloak and headed to the rice fields. They were all dry, the land completely ruined. Abril\u00a0<\/p>\n
Partit Enormous Power\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
wasn\u2019t sure if she would be able to purify it, but she didn\u2019t want to leave without trying. She knelt down, placed her hand on the ground, and infused her magic into it. The ground shook, and all the black and rotten things started to disappear. The rice fields that had been dry and dead came to life. The rice fields turned green again and were full of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Abril was amazed and happy to see that she had been able to help those people regain their\u00a0<\/p>\n
livelihood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius, seeing that the land that had been dead had come back to life, was amazed by her power and\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked her, \u201cHow did you revive all of this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you, my power is stronger now, and my control over it has improved. You would be surprised if you\u00a0<\/p>\n
knew what I am capable of now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already surprised. I knew you were strong, but reviving dead land with its crops\u2013that has left me very\u00a0<\/p>\n
surprised.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am done with everything I needed to do here. We can leave now. Where is Taren? I thought you went to\u00a0<\/p>\n
look for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe shouldn\u2019t be long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taren didn\u2019t take long to appear with three horses. They looked sickly and could barely stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI managed to get our transportation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril approached, touched each of the horses, and infused her magic into them. The horses came back to life. Abril mounted one of the horses and said to them, \u201cLet\u2019s go. There\u2019s nothing else to do here. Let\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
continue our journey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taren and Sirius got on their horses and set off on their journey again, toward the royal capital of Laios.\u00a0<\/p>\n
