It was night in the land of Hadas when Maya saw her reflection, still half-asleep. "Hello, Aby," she murmured. "Nothing happens. I just wanted to see how you are. I've decided to bring Lissana back, even if it's only for a few days." Maya's heart raced at the thought of Lissana returning. "Are you safe? Won't it be dangerous?" "Right now, the kingdom is very quiet. That's why I think it's a good time to go back, even if just for a while. If things go awry, I can send you back to the ground." "You also need to tell Barto," Maya added."I could ask your priest to come to the palace so we could all be together," Abril suggested. "I would appreciate that. Have you thought about when you want Lissana to come?" "Soon, if possible. Mafiana will inform Lissana and organize everything." "Thank you, Maya." "You're welcome, Aby." As the communication broke off, Cassian, half-asleep, murmured, "Why did I thank you, Abril?" "Because you care," she replied softly. Abril longed to see Lissana, to spend some time traveling together, at least while there was peace. "Do you want to come back?" she asked Cassian."I want to see my priest and my brother. I can talk to them using the magic necklace, but it's not the same. I miss my family, and who knows about Uzziel?" "I'll come with you," he promised. "Then we're going to Ana," Abril said. "Being here is fine, but we can't stay away from home forever," Cassian remarked, gazing out the window at the night sky. Abril felt a pang of longing. "Even though living here has been a hardship, it's time to return." Cassian wrapped his arms around Maya, who nestled against him. "It's nighttime.noveldramaIf this isn't a little bit of a dream, I don't know what is," he said, brushing his fingers through her hair until she fell asleep. The next day, Abril visited Lissana's room. "Good morning, Aunt Maya!" Lissana greeted her with a bright smile. "Did you sleep well?" "Yes," Lissana replied, getting out of bed and noticing the container of water on the table. Maya spread a towel beside it. "Yesterday, I spoke with your mother. Guess what she told me?" Abril said, her voice teasing. "What?" Lissana asked, her eyes wide with anticipation."She said you can see your priests soon." Lissana jumped with excitement. She had always felt connected to her priests through the mirror, even if she didn't remember them clearly. Sometimes, she felt as if they were real, which was why she asked her mother about them. "Yes, yes, yes! Finally, I can see them!" she exclaimed. But then, her excitement faded. "Aunt Maya, will my priests really come?" "That's impossible. They are the kings of Cosset. They can't just disappear for a while. They have many obligations," Maya explained gently. "But do you want to go to the kingdom?" "Yes!I can't wait to see them!" Lissana replied eagerly. "How long will we be there?" Lissana asked, her expression turning serious. "I don't know," Maya admitted. "You might see Tar again." "Will I really?" Lissana's eyes sparkled with hope. "Yes, but when will we go?" she pressed. "We will go later. You should say goodbye to Tarik. We don't know how long we'll be gone," Maya said. As Maya helped Lissana change and combed her hair, she noticed a hint of sadness in the girl's expression. "What's wrong, Lissana?You don't seem very happy." "Why can't my priests see me?" Lissana asked, her voice small. "They can't come because they have many responsibilities as kings. But they care about you," Maya reassured her. "Do you want to go to the kingdom?" "Yes!" Lissana replied, her excitement returning. After Maya finished combing her hair, Lissana rushed to find Tarik, who was in the garden. At that moment, Fay was teaching him how to use a sword, something that had enchanted Tarik. When Lissana arrived, Tarik's enthusiasm soared as he tried to impress her, behaving like a peacock showing off its feathers."It would be better if we finished training," Maya suggested. Tarik was delighted to practice with the sword, but Lissana was waiting, and he didn't want to keep her. When he finished, he handed the wooden sword to his priest and ran to greet Lissana. "Have you seen it? My priest! I'm learning to be an excellent swordsman!" he exclaimed. "Yes, you looked brilliant swinging your sword! I almost wanted to learn how to handle one too," Lissana said, her eyes shining with excitement. "It would be great! I can teach you," Tarik offered eagerly."Just wait for me here." Lissana took Tarik's hand, preventing him from leaving. "If you ask me later, stay with me. Please?" "Okay, what do you want to play?" he asked. "Not right now. I just want to sit here," Lissana replied, dragging him under a pink tree. They settled down together, enjoying the moment.
