Abril believed it was there, hidden within the depths. "Where did it come from?" Alessandro asked, his brow furrowing in concern. "It's possible that it originates from the village itself," Abril replied, her voice steady. "We need to seal the well to prevent any more from emerging." "I've already done that," Alessandro said, his tone reassuring. "Thank you. I hope the other villages have better luck," she said, a hint of worry in her voice. "Me too," he replied, his expression softening. "Sandro is also missing.Good sister, see you soon." "Good night, Your Majesty," she murmured, her eyelids growing heavy. Alessandro had taken so long to get involved that Abril had fallen asleep. He tried to wake her gently, urging her to eat something, but it was impossible. Abril was lost in a deep sweat, and eventually, he chuckled softly, leaning against her side and wrapping his arms around her. His wife was small and thin, yet her spirit was unyielding. Alessandro felt a swell of pride and happiness knowing she was his. In her dreams, Abril found herself in a beautiful field filled with lavender flowers.There, she saw her mother, Sophia, gathering blossoms. As she approached, her mother greeted her with a warm smile. "Hello, my little one," Sophia said softly. "Hello, Mama," Abril replied, feeling a rush of affection. "You've been through so much lately. The burdens on your shoulders have been heavy," her mother continued, concern etched on her face. "I know, Mama. I'm trying to be strong," Abril said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I came to comfort you in your dreams. Everything will heal, my dear.Your baby will grow and blossom into a beautiful flower, just like you," Sophia assured her. "Did I do the right thing by leaving it on the ground?" Abril asked, uncertainty creeping into her voice. "Yes, that was your destiny from the beginning," her mother replied. "Lissana will be the one to govern the four clans. She will unify the world. A great future awaits, but for that to happen, you must learn from all the clans. Only then can you unify what you know and love.This girl will be stronger than you." With feverish eyes, Alessandro awoke to find Abril nestled against him, just as it should be. Every moment apart felt like torture; without her, the world lost its color. Abril and Lissana were his greatest loves, the sources of joy in his life. Without them, everything faded to gray. "I love you," he whispered, pressing a kiss to her forehead. He spoke those words not just for her to hear, but because his heart demanded it. When he rose, he hated the thought of leaving Abril's side. He decided to speak with Sirius.noveldrama"Check the barrier once more," he instructed. "Yes, Your Majesty," Sirius replied, bowing slightly. When Abril opened her eyes, she felt a sense of calm wash over her, bolstered by her mother's words. It was early, and Alessandro was already gone. She got up, washed her face, and opened the door to give orders to the guards. They had dismantled the defenses, and the guards were preparing to head out. Seeing Abril, Alessandro approached her, concern etched across his face. "How are you?" "I'm fine," she replied, though her voice lacked conviction. "We'll leave soon.You need to eat something; you didn't eat anything yesterday." "I'm sorry. I'm just tired and ended up falling asleep," she admitted. "I still have something for you. There's something I need you to do," he said, his tone shifting to seriousness. "What is it?" she asked, intrigued. "Just support me," he replied, leading her toward the well. "We believe the monsters are gone from here." As they approached the well, Abril peered into the darkness. It was deep and foreboding, and she felt an unsettling chill emanating from within."I can sense something," she murmured, a shiver running down her spine. Alessandro hesitated, but then Abril unleashed several fireballs into the pit. Moments later, the ground trembled, and the monsters began to emerge from the depths. They were numerous and menacing, but Abril felt their presence keenly. As the monsters surged forth, Alessandro summoned a gust of wind, creating a barrier to shield Abril from harm. Sirius quickly conjured a barrier to contain the creatures as they approached. "Are you okay?" Alessandro asked, his voice laced with concern."Yes," she replied, determination igniting within her. "This is dangerous, and you mustn't do it again," he warned, his protective instincts flaring. Abril ignored his admonition and charged toward the monsters, daggers in hand. "I can handle this!" she shouted, her voice fierce. With precision, she struck the creatures with fire, while Alessandro focused on protecting her back, using the wind to keep the monsters at bay. They fought in tandem, their bond unbreakable even in the heat of battle. "Why won't you listen to me?" Alessandro shouted, frustration boiling over."You can't take on these monsters alone!" "I'm sorry! I'm not thinking straight," she admitted, her heart racing. Alessandro pulled her into an embrace, his voice low and urgent. "You must always think of me and Lissana before acting." "I will," she promised, her resolve strengthening. They held each other tightly until Alessandro's troubled heart began to calm. After Abril purified the well, the water returned to its clear state. In the next village, they found a scene similar to the last-black fog enveloped the area, and monsters lurked everywhere.Once they dispatched the creatures and cleansed the village, they began searching for survivors.
