Abril pressed on, attacking Cira until it was over. She had tried to make her brother release his child, but her efforts were in vain. Cira didn't let go until Lissana lay lifeless on the ground, the light in her eyes extinguished completely. Abril rushed to her daughter's body, feeling as though something had shattered inside her. She pressed the small, lifeless form against her chest, a scream tearing from her throat. "No more! This isn't real!This can't be real!" Abril struggled to think of anything else, but it was futile. Anger and pain consumed her, a fierce hatred that threatened to overwhelm her. She released Lissana's body and turned towards Cira, her heart pounding with rage. "You will pay for what you've done to my daughter!" she screamed, her voice filled with fury as she aimed to strike Cira with the golden flames that danced around her. Cira, her clothes torn and stained with blood, seemed unfazed by Abril's wrath.It wasn't until that moment that Abril realized how many years had been stained with blood, just like the golden daggers that lay discarded in her room. Cira's face was marred by the pain she had inflicted. Cira stopped advancing, and Abril retreated, not out of fear of Cira, but of herself and the darkness that threatened to consume her. "Don't come any closer! Stay away from me!" Abril shouted, her voice trembling. Cira ignored the warning and continued to approach. Abril pressed her back against the wall, feeling cornered.She was acutely aware that if she didn't stop, she would be consumed by hatred and would never escape its grasp. But she didn't know how to overcome her sister; she felt powerless against Cira. Abril was filled with rage, and as Cira prepared to strike, she knew she had to fight back. "Please, just let it end! Don't make me do this!" she pleaded, her voice cracking. Cira's relentless advance filled Abril with dread. She didn't want to inflict further harm, but she felt trapped, unable to stop. "Stay away! Let me be!noveldramaDon't force me to regret this!" Abril's heart ached as she glanced back at Lissana's small body, lying just a few steps away. Cira was right; Abril wanted to keep inflicting pain, and a voice in her head urged her to continue. But deep down, that wasn't what she truly wanted. Taking a deep breath, Abril tried to calm herself, to quell the hatred that surged within her. The crimson flames that surrounded her began to shift to a silvery hue, a light that could purify rather than destroy. She had to use this power to free her sister from the darkness that consumed her."Don't tell me you're tired. Let's go!" Abril approached Cira again, but this time she didn't intend to attack. There was only one thing that could combat hate: love. Since Cira had appeared, and even from their first confrontation, Abril had known that love was the answer. She wished with all her heart that her sister could be freed from the danger that had taken hold of her. Cira was gone, leaving no trace behind, just like Lissana's lifeless body. Abril found herself sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, lost in thought.Memories echoed in her mind from the past, when Cira had been cruel to her. She had hated her sister, but deep down, she had also loved her. That hatred had only revived more hatred. "I won't continue with this," Abril declared, rising to her feet. She refused to play this game of hate that would turn her into a monster. She had always believed herself to be good, but the truth was that she had chosen to ignore what lay within her. In that moment, she resolved to stop hating Cira and instead save her from the darkness.As she looked at Lissana, she no longer saw a baby but a six- or seven-year-old girl running joyfully before her. Abril chased after the vision, finding herself in the palace garden. There stood Lissana and Alessandro beneath the shade of a large tree, preparing a picnic together. Abril felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her. She remembered those moments spent under the tree's shelter, where all her pain seemed to fade away. She wasn't sure if it was real or just a fleeting illusion, but she desperately wished it to be true."Is this real?" she asked, resting her head on Alessandro's shoulder, intertwining her fingers with his. "Of course it is. Can't you see?" he replied softly. "Please, let me see you," she urged. Alessandro remained silent, and that was what Abril secretly wished for. Lissana ran toward them, arms outstretched. "Mami, I asked for a new song! Can I sing it?" "Of course, sweetheart," Abril replied, her heart swelling with love. Lissana began to sing, her voice beautiful and melodious. "When the sun rises, your light will shine on all, and the darkness will fade away.The afternoon breeze will carry away fear and sadness, and the moon will bring rest." Abril listened, feeling a bittersweet nostalgia for the song she couldn't quite remember. Lissana's sweet voice filled her heart with warmth, and in that moment, everything felt right.
