Part II: A New Danger\u00a0<\/p>\n
At lunchtime, Cassian felt extremely uncomfortable. Barto had taken his place next to Maya and couldn\u2019t stop giving him murderous glares whenever she wasn\u2019t looking. He wondered when Barto had started hating him so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After finishing their meal, Barto said he was going back to the city of Farell. He couldn\u2019t be away from the guild for so long. Maya offered to accompany him to the door to say goodbye, but he refused, saying, \u201cI would prefer Prince Cassian accompany me. I would like to speak with him for a moment before I leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d Cassian agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barto kissed his sister on the forehead and told her, \u201cThink about what I told you and remember you can always count on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know,\u201d Maya replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya gave him a tight hug and whispered with teary eyes, \u201cSee you soon, little brother.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barto stroked her head, as he had done so many times when they were children, and with a sweet and affectionate voice, he said, \u201cUntil soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian accompanied Barto, and as they walked through the long corridors, Barto remained silent. At some point, Cassian wondered if what he had told Maya was a lie, if it had only been an excuse so she wouldn\u2019t accompany him to the exit..\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake care of my sister,\u201d Barto suddenly said, breaking the silence between the two. Cassian looked at him for a moment and responded, somewhat surprised, \u201cI would give my life for\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she would hate you for it. Maya is not someone who likes to share her pain, so make sure to always be there for her and don\u2019t do anything that would make her suffer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will do so,\u201d Cassian replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if anything ever happens to my sister, consider yourself dead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf anything were to happen to her, If I were to lose her, death would be a gift to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barto was satisfied with the answer he received, so he didn\u2019t say anything else. When they arrived at the entrance, he waved goodbye and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya had run to her room when her brother left. She went out to the balcony and could see him crossing the palace doors. The pixie suddenly appeared and said to her with great regret,\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Part II: A New Danger\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did he leave so soon? I wanted to talk to him again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have nothing to talk to him about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The little fairy had been talking to Barto all night, but that was something she didn\u2019t dare confess to Maya, because if she found out, she would crush her like a grape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is a wandering fairy, just curious about him, about the kind of life he leads,\u201d she said, omitting part of the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With great regret, Maya replied as she watched her brother disappear behind the high walls of the palace, \u201cA normal life, something I will never have again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Taren returned, he looked agitated and could barely stand. He held his abdomen to stop the blood that was seeping through his fingers. Sirius hurried to his side, helped him stay on his feet, and asked, \u201cWhat happened? Who hurt you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMonster, there\u2019s a monster in the forest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius knew that Taren was an excellent warrior and that it was unlikely for a monster to surprise and injure him. That could only mean one thing\u2013the monster was too strong, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
that\u2019s why he got hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbril, come immediately!\u201d Sirius shouted to get her attention. Abril did as Sirius ordered, but she couldn\u2019t reach them. From among the trees emerged a tall, thin, completely black monster with a human shape. He quickened his pace and, with a hissing and chilling voice, he said to her, \u201cYou have been killing my brothers, bearer of light. Today you will die.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril used her silver flames against him, but he extinguished them as if they were nothing and grabbed Abril by the throat. She used her magic to attack him, and if she caused any harm, he didn\u2019t show it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius let go of Taren and ran to help Abril, but that strange creature threw Abril away and attacked him. It was extremely fast; Sirius couldn\u2019t dodge it, but since he had created a barrier, it couldn\u2019t harm him\u2013its sharp claws collided against it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril got up from the ground, focused her power in her hands, and ran to help Sirius. She grabbed the creature by the waist and started infusing her magic desperately. Sirius took the opportunity to immobilize the creature while Abril used her power.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taren approached with the little strength he had left, wielded his sword, and cut off its head. Black blood splattered on them, staining their clothes. The headless body kept moving. Abril released her power like a torrent\u2013the silver flames pierced through the flesh and burned until they turned into ashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taren fell to the ground unconscious. She quickly approached him, put her hand on his wound, and infused her magic into him. As the wound closed, color returned to Taren\u2019s face,\u00a0<\/p>\n
but he remained unconscious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius approached, took Taren, and said, \u201cWe need to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s dangerous for Taren to teleport us. Although I healed his wound, he has lost a lot of blood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but it would be even more dangerous to stay in this place. We don\u2019t know what else might be in this forest, and apparently, your power can\u2019t detect them, and finishing them off isn\u2019t that simple. So let\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril knew it was dangerous to move Taren, but she knew that what Sirius was saying was true. She hadn\u2019t sensed that monster; that creature was completely different from the\u00a0<\/p>\n
monsters she had faced before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right, it\u2019s better for us to go. Let\u2019s hope Taren survives the journey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sirius took a parchment out of his bag. Since Taren was unconscious and couldn\u2019t use the teleportation device, he tore the parchment, and they disappeared, leaving behind the ashes of that strange and dangerous creature that had been about to kill them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
