Part II: The Right Decision\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius, Taren, and Abril rode until they reached the forest near the village. They camped in the thickest part of the forest. After lighting a fire, Taren ventured further into the forest to hunt something for dinner since Abril had given all their provisions to the villagers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Taren left, Sirius started writing a letter. When he finished writing it, he magically turned it into a bird that flew up into the sky. Abril approached and asked him, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI sent a report to your husband. He made me promise to send him a report about our journey every day; otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t be at ease.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut is it safe for you to do that? Someone else could read your letter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a magical letter. Only His Majesty the King can read it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you could have let me write something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you miss them already?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s only been a day, but when you\u2019re separated from your loved ones, time seems to pass differently, too slow and torturous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we hadn\u2019t lingered in that village, we would be in the royal capital of Laios by now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I hadn\u2019t helped them, many would have died today, and within two days, none would have been left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t help everyone on this journey, Abril.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you ever been sick and begged for help, even when you knew that no one would come to your aid?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I have. At this moment, I am a queen. Everyone respects me and bows before me. But it hasn\u2019t always been this way. In this kingdom, I was forgotten in an abandoned palace. Every day, I begged the heavens to let me live. I begged for someone to come when I was sick and starving, but no one came. Although my prayers were heard, I am still alive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril looked at her hands and said, \u201cThose people were in the same situation I was in back then. With this power, I can save many, and I want to do it. I want to help those who have been abandoned to their fate\u00a0<\/p>\n
and suffer in oblivion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I spoke without knowing your reasons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSirius, I know I said this would be a short trip, maximum three days, but I don\u2019t want to rush my arrival to the royal capital. According to the elder we met, it\u2019s not just them who have been suffering; there are many other nearby villages in the same situation. So, I would like to visit each of them and save those people, help them in any way I can.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we do that, it will take days to reach the royal capital of Laios.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m asking you to continue accompanying me on this journey that has just begun, and I don\u2019t know when it will end.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius scratched his head, took a deep sigh, and replied, \u201cAlessandro won\u2019t like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, and it\u2019s not like I like it either, but I can\u2019t ignore all those people because of my selfishness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I will continue to accompany you. I will be with you until you decide to return, and I believe the same goes for Taren. He will follow you wherever you go until we return to the kingdom of Cosset and the king tells him otherwise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad to hear that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we do what you want, this journey will no longer be a secret.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI also want you to help me with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, when the time comes, I\u2019ll figure out what to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taren came back with two rabbits, raised them high to show them, and said, \u201cIt was difficult for me to\u00a0<\/p>\n
catch them, but here is our dinner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He handed them to Sirius and said, \u201cI caught them, now you cook them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius used his magic to clean the rabbits and put them to roast by the campfire. Taren, upon seeing that, said, \u201cI still don\u2019t understand why you can do so many things with your magic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI use spells instead of my mana; that\u2019s why I can do more things than a simple magic possessor who uses an element by nature.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat means that if I learn your spells, I will be able to use magic like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, magic bearers usually don\u2019t know how to handle mana.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I can learn, I would like to learn how to do what you did a moment ago.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already told you it\u2019s not like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd who says so?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what, think whatever you want.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius approached the campfire and sat on the ground, making sure the food wouldn\u2019t burn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril said to Taren, \u201cMaybe our journey will be longer. I want to visit the other villages nearby and help if\u00a0<\/p>\n
necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will follow Her Majesty wherever she goes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you very much, Taren.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, after dinner, Abril fell asleep by the fire to keep warm, as even though it was summer, the nights were still very cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taren and Sirius took turns sleeping to ensure that the fire did not go out or that they were not attacked by\u00a0<\/p>\n
any beast while they slept.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, they continued their journey, stopping at the nearest village, which was in the same state as the previous one. The land and its inhabitants were sick and contaminated by darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon seeing them, Abril\u2019s heart squeezed in her chest, because compared to the previous village, many had ended up dying there. At that precise moment, she realized that her decision was the right one. She would help everyone she could so that they would not end up the same way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
