Part II: A Common Enemy\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rift had already closed completely, but it had been too late. Cira had managed to escape, and Abril had almost exhausted all her magic. She thought this would be the end; she doubted she\u00a0<\/p>\n
could beat her sister in her current state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira walked towards her. Sirius and Taren stood in front of her to defend Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira used the darkness to push them away. Enzo stood in front of Abril, blocking Cira. This surprised Abril greatly; she never imagined that he could defend her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think you\u2019re doing, Enzo!\u201d Cira exclaimed, equally surprised that Enzo was defending.\u00a0<\/p>\n
her..\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I always do: stop you from doing something stupid,\u201d Enzo replied, feigning a calmness that was light years away from what he felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you really think you can stand against me? You\u2019re delusional,\u201d Cira said as she gave him a menacing look. She continued advancing. Something dark emerged from her shadow and went straight for Enzo, but the silver flames blocked its attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira was annoyed to see that her attack had been blocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough, Cira!\u201d Enzo shouted at the top of his lungs. \u201cStop this, this isn\u2019t you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira laughed out loud and told him, \u201cYou don\u2019t know anything about me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, I do,\u201d he replied. \u201cWe grew up together. I know you\u2019re capable of many things. I know you can be cruel and bloodthirsty, but I also know that the only thing you\u2019ve ever wanted was our father\u2019s recognition, but he\u2019s gone now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira attacked Enzo again with the darkness, sending him flying away, and said in a voice filled with contempt, \u201cYou\u2019re delusional. That\u2019s never interested me. What I\u2019ve always wanted is power, and now I have it. I\u2019m no longer content with being queen of a small kingdom. Now, I want it all. I will open the gates of Hades and create a new world, my world. I will be the supreme ruler; there will be no one above me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril rose to her feet with what little strength she had left and told her, \u201cI won\u2019t let you do it.\u201d Cira approached Abril even closer, grabbing her by the neck tightly. Abril tried to defend herself, but she had exhausted her magic; there was nothing she could do to break free.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look pathetic. If I wanted to, I could kill you by squeezing your neck a little tighter, but don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t. I want to see you suffer. I will put you through hell before I kill you. I wonder what face you\u2019ll make when you lose everything you love. Who will it hurt more to lose, your husband or\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abril used the last trace of power she had left to create flames in her right hand and grabbed Cira\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
hand. She released her, and Abril crashed to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira\u2019s arm had suffered a burn. She used the darkness to heal her wound and said, \u201cI see you still\u00a0<\/p>\n
have some power left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you dare touch my family!\u201d Abril said as she gave her a murderous look. Cira laughed and replied, \u201cSo you can also make that face. I will undoubtedly enjoy my revenge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira turned to look at Enzo and told him, \u201cI will get my revenge on you too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo\u2019s face paled. They knew that his sister would not forgive him for punishing her. He gritted his teeth, waiting for her attack, but Cira did not attack him, she only laughed as if she was greatly\u00a0<\/p>\n
amused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it won\u2019t be today. I will let you suffer in the anxiety of not knowing when I will return to get my revenge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shadows of darkness swirled around Cira. Abril tried to catch her, but it was useless; she had\u00a0<\/p>\n
disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril fell to her knees, fear gripping her. Her family was alone in Cosset, and her sister seemed more than determined to attack them. She had to warn Alessandro; she had to tell him to flee or hide; she had to go to her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abril used the pendant to communicate with Alessandro, but by the time he answered, she had already fainted without being able to warn him of the danger they were in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As darkness enveloped her, Cira had sensed evil, hatred, and infinite darkness in the heart of a human. That evil came from the dungeons. She went directly to that place and looked for the owner of all that darkness. She stopped in front of one of the cells in which there was a middle\u2013aged woman and asked, \u201cWho do you hate so fervently?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liona was startled to hear a chilling voice in the darkness. She crawled towards the wall and fearfully asked, \u201cWho are you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira cleared away the darkness and revealed herself. Liona recognized her. She prostrated herself before her and pleaded, \u201cPrincess Cira, please save me, get me out of this damned place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would you be willing to do to get out of this place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything, I will do anything Your Majesty wishes, but please, get me out of this place, I beg you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira smiled in satisfaction upon hearing the maid\u2019s response. \u201cFirst, answer my question, who do\u00a0<\/p>\n
you hate so fervently?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess Abril. It\u2019s her fault I\u2019m locked up in this place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira laughed out loud. She made the bars disappear and said to Liona, \u201cIt seems we have a common enemy. I hate her just like you, so I will give you the power you need to get your revenge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liona crawled to Cira\u2019s feet and said, \u201cThank you, Your Majesty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cira bit one of her fingers, and a drop of black blood fell on Liona\u2019s head. She screamed as if a hot coal had fallen on her head, she twisted and shouted. She felt something inside her breaking, but she could also feel herself becoming stronger, and even her appearance changed. All the wrinkles that lined her face disappeared. Liona kissed Cira\u2019s feet and said, \u201cYour Majesty, this humble servant surrenders to you. I will do whatever you ask, and I will get rid of our common enemy, Abril\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
